Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

After saying this, Dugu Yan seemed to have lost interest in continuing her lecturing. She gave a disdainful snort and turned to walk away.

Ning Rongrong also stood up, looked at Tang San, and calmly added the final blow: "Sister Yan Yan is right. You spend so much precious time learning those boring theories, which are actually not very useful. If you are really interested, you can slowly study it as a hobby when you reach the Title Douluo level and your cultivation progress slows down."

"But how old are you? You're only a teenager, which is the golden age for Soul Masters to lay the foundation and train hard! You're learning these boring theories now, and you even worship the people who teach you these theories like gods... Tang San, you really can't tell what's important."

"In this Douluo Continent, you are a Soul Master, not a scholar who lives by talking. The most ironclad rule in the Soul Master world is that might makes right, not these weak and verbose words."

After saying that, Ning Rongrong, along with Na'er, Ye Lingling, and the others, turned and left the cafeteria without looking back.

Xiao Wu stood there, took one last look at Tang San with a complicated expression, and sighed, "Goodnight, Xiao San. We're leaving now, so as not to leave everyone feeling awkward here."

After saying that, Xiao Wu took light steps and jogged to catch up with Ning Rongrong and her group, disappearing outside the cafeteria gate.

As the girls left, the atmosphere in the large, upscale cafeteria became extremely oppressive and awkward.

Liu Erlong, who sat in the main seat, remained silent throughout.

She stood up expressionlessly, not even sparing Yu Xiaogang a glance, and walked straight to the door.

Seeing this, the core teachers of Blue Tyrant Academy also glanced at Yu Xiaogang with disdain, and then quickly left without a trace.

Flander sat there, his expression shifting.

Logically speaking, as a brother of several decades, now that everyone else has left, he should go over to Yu Xiaogang, pat him on the shoulder, and offer him some words of comfort.

However, in tonight's disgraceful situation, he, Flander, was also an "accomplice."

If he were to run over now and pretend to be a good person, offering words of comfort, it would not only seem hypocritical but would also be like rubbing salt into Yu Xiaogang's wounds, which would be going too far.

After weighing his options for a moment, Flander finally let out a long sigh, said nothing, stood up, and silently walked outside.

Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming, and the other Shrek Academy students exchanged glances, all seeing the complexity and helplessness in each other's eyes. They then tacitly remained silent and left this place of trouble with Flander.

Soon, the once bustling and noisy cafeteria became completely empty.

Under the bright soul-guiding light, only Yu Xiaogang, who sat alone in the corner and seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and Tang San, who stood beside him with his eyes lowered and remained silent.

A deathly silence spread between the two.

After a long while, Yu Xiaogang finally couldn't bear this suffocating torment any longer. He raised his head, his bloodshot, cloudy eyes fixed on Tang San, and asked in a trembling, dry voice:

"The mistress... even you... do you agree with what they said?"

Upon hearing this question, which was filled with both fear and anticipation, Tang San's slightly dazed eyes finally regained focus.

He slowly raised his head, looking at the disheveled man before him, who had no trace of a master's demeanor. The complex emotions in his eyes surged like waves, but eventually returned to calm.

"A teacher for a day, a father for life."

Tang San's voice was very soft, revealing not a trace of emotion:

"Teacher will always be my teacher. I, Tang San, will never forget your kindness in guiding me back then."

Upon hearing this answer, Yu Xiaogang's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally settled back into his stomach.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and a glimmer of life returned to his previously ashen face.

"Xiao San, I knew you were a sensible and good girl!" Yu Xiaogang was eager to salvage his image and was about to continue explaining, "Actually, about what happened just now, listen to me, I really had my reasons back then..."

"teacher."

Tang San suddenly spoke up, interrupting him.

He didn't look at Yu Xiaogang's anxious face again, but silently turned away from him, his tone revealing a deep weariness and estrangement:

"So much has happened tonight, you must be tired. Go home and get some rest."

After saying that, Tang San didn't linger any longer, nor did he pay attention to Yu Xiaogang behind him who seemed to want to say something but couldn't. He took slightly heavy steps and walked alone into the silent night.

Chapter 297 The Calm and Pragmatic Man: Tang San's "True Face" in Ning Rongrong's Eyes

……

The lights in the empty upscale dining hall appeared somewhat pale.

Yu Xiaogang slumped into a chair, staring intently at Tang San's figure disappearing into the night, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

Gone? Just like that, gone?

They didn't angrily defend him, nor did they stay to listen to him continue to recount his grievances.

Yu Xiaogang knew all too well what this meant.

Although Tang San uttered the respectable phrase "A teacher for a day is a father for life," his cold and emotionless dismissal proved one thing.

Tang San truly listened to everything Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu said!

Others might be misled by Tang San's outward gentleness and loyalty, thinking he's just a foolish young man who only cares about emotions.

But Yu Xiaogang, who had taught him for six years, knew his disciple's true nature better than anyone else.

Tang San is definitely not someone who would be completely blinded by childish emotions or have his hands and feet restrained.

On the contrary, Tang San is often a calm, even "pragmatic" person!

This "utilitarianism" is not the derogatory meaning of greed for money and power, but rather Tang San's way of doing things, which is to always pursue maximum efficiency and the most substantial benefits.

The reason why Tang San was willing to patiently spend a lot of precious cultivation time learning his dry and complicated martial soul theories at Notting Academy was that Tang San knew too little about the unknown world of soul masters.

It was Yu Xiaogang who constantly instilled these theoretical concepts in Tang San, making him believe that they were important and indispensable foundations for reaching the pinnacle in the future. That's why Tang San was willing to spend so much effort studying them.

But what if... Tang San realized early on that all that so-called theoretical knowledge was just a dispensable accessory in the face of absolute power?

Given Tang San's practical and efficient nature, once he sees through this facade, he will absolutely not waste his precious energy on these illusory things!

Tonight, Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong's analysis, especially Xiao Wu's final conclusion that "the impact on his strength is almost zero," was like a sharp knife, directly piercing through this disguise.

Yu Xiaogang could clearly sense that after this lecture, Tang San's sense of value in him as a "theoretical master" was undergoing a precipitous collapse!

"No...we absolutely cannot let things continue like this!"

Yu Xiaogang clenched his dry fist tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

He has to find a way to make up for all of this!

Tang San must be made to realize once again that his teacher has irreplaceable and immense value!

Yu Xiaogang's cloudy eyes flashed with the light of frantic contemplation.

He knew very well that at this point, playing the emotional card was no longer an option, and in Tang San's heart, the only valuable trump card he, as a teacher, could still play was the last one.

Twin Martial Souls!

When he took Tang San as his disciple in Notting City, he solemnly warned Tang San that although having twin martial souls was an extraordinary talent, there was a fatal risk of exploding and dying when adding spirit rings to the martial souls at the same time.

In the entire history of the Soul Master world, only the current Pope of the Spirit Hall has successfully crossed this gate of death.

The reason why Tang San has been studying theory so diligently all these years and values ​​him so much is largely because he hopes that this "theoretically invincible" teacher can help him find a way to resolve the fatal conflict between his twin martial souls!

Because it was a sharp sword hanging over Tang San's head.

but……

Yu Xiaogang closed his eyes in pain.

Only he himself knows best how to resolve the conflict between the twin martial souls; he is still completely clueless about it!

Over the years, he has consulted countless books, but he has never given Tang San any substantial guidance on this matter, because he himself has no idea how to do it!

But now, the situation has cornered him.

A rift of trust has formed, and Tang San's sense of identification with him is rapidly diminishing.

If he fails to produce any results in this crucial matter concerning Tang San's life and death, then Yu Xiaogang will truly become a complete waste and will be abandoned by Tang San without hesitation!

"Twin Martial Souls... Yes, only twin Martial Souls!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of almost obsessive madness flashing in them.

He must find the perfect way to resolve the conflict between his twin martial souls!

As long as he can personally hand over this secret that is enough to change Tang San's fate to Tang San and prove his indelible value, Tang San will definitely recognize him again. All the embarrassment and resentment of tonight will vanish in the face of this great value!

……

On the other side, a cool night breeze caressed the bustling streets of Tiandou City.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Na'er, and Dugu Yan have left Lanba Academy and are walking slowly towards the Tiandou Royal Hotel, stepping on the colorful lamplight.

Walking along the road, Dugu Yan recalled the heated argument she had just had in the cafeteria, and a hint of doubt appeared on her face:

"Rongrong, do you think all the effort we put into this performance tonight will actually work?"

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement, her two rabbit ears drooping slightly, showing some worry.

"Yes, I know Xiao San's personality best. He's as stubborn as an ox and he values ​​respecting teachers and elders to the extreme."

"Although we exposed Yu Xiaogang's past in public today and gave him a thorough dressing-down, will the mistress really give up on Yu Xiaogang completely because of this whole charade?"

"Don't worry, you can rest assured, it will definitely work."

Ning Rongrong put her hands behind her back, took light steps, and curled a sly smile of confidence at the corner of her mouth.

She turned her head, looked at Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan, whose faces were full of doubt, and analyzed clearly:

"Tang San does care a lot about Yu Xiaogang, that's true. But you have to understand that his care isn't the kind of unreserved, selfless favoritism, but rather based on realistic interests and values."

"In Tang San's original understanding, he believed that Yu Xiaogang, the master who was 'invincible in theory,' was very important to him and was a guide who would greatly help his future cultivation and prospects. It was precisely because Yu Xiaogang had this irreplaceable value that Tang San respected him and protected him so much."

Ning Rongrong raised a finger and shook it gently: "But think back to tonight, was our back-and-forth singing meant to forcibly deny Tang San's feelings for Yu Xiaogang? Wrong! From beginning to end, we were denying Yu Xiaogang's value in every way!"

"First and foremost, it's about character and image."

Ning Rongrong counted on her fingers, "Based on Dean Liu Erlong's old grievances, Yu Xiaogang's aloof and arrogant master image has been completely shattered by us."

Although Tang San is still quite naive about romantic relationships, he is fundamentally a person who is extremely obsessed with responsibility and commitment.

Yu Xiaogang's cowardly, evasive, and irresponsible behavior had seriously crossed Tang San's moral line, causing him to harbor deep resentment towards Yu Xiaogang's character.
