In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

“This…” A hint of hesitation flashed across Prince Xuexing’s eyes. Putting aside Tang Ritian, his own elder brother valued Lan Si very much.

"Alright, I promise you, as long as I ascend the throne one day, I will certainly use the full power of the nation to help you." Before Prince Xuexing could answer, Xue Beng declared this boldly. He had long disliked Lan Si and Tang Ritian.

Tang San glanced at Xue Beng with some surprise. He realized that he had underestimated this playboy in the past.

...The Crown Prince's Residence.

"Young Master, Young Master Lan Si, Xue Xing and Xue Beng have already led Dugu Bo and Tang San into the palace. Should we make a move now?" Serpent Spear Douluo knelt on one knee in front of the two.

"Ah Si, what do you think we should do?" Qian Renxue asked Lan Si, her slightly protruding belly protruding.

Lan Si, supporting Qian Renxue, smiled faintly and said, "No rush. The poison that Emperor Xueye suffered from cannot be cleared up in one or two times. Let's give them a glimmer of hope first. Then we'll make our move. We must ensure that Emperor Xueye dies in front of everyone at the hands of Tang San and Dugu Bo. And Xue Xing and Xue Beng will be the masterminds."

...The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

"Tang San, how is he?" Prince Xue Xing asked anxiously, looking at the still unconscious Emperor Xue Ye.

Tang San nodded first, then shook his head. "Things are a bit difficult. It seems that His Majesty planted more than one type of mixed poison. I have only temporarily suppressed the toxicity. Now we need to find the source of the poison. I have already taken some samples of the poison. I will study them carefully when I get back. I believe we will have some results soon."

Upon hearing this, the three of them, including Dugu Bo, breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the palace, Tang San did not return directly to Shrek Academy to study the toxins. Instead, he went to a mansion in the south of the city.

The mansion occupies a vast area, with walls exceeding four meters in height and gate towers over six meters. Two stone gorilla statues stand at the entrance, looking quite comical.

Above the gate of the mansion, a plaque bearing the character "力" (li, meaning strength) hangs high.

This is the residence of the Power Clan.

After being refused help by Dugu Bo and Ning Fengzhi to kill Tang Ritian, Tang San realized that it was better to rely on himself than others. Therefore, he planned to establish the Tang Sect before completely curing Emperor Xue Ye's poison. That way, after Xue Qinghe's downfall, he would have more leverage to deal with Lan Si, Tang Ritian, and even the Spirit Hall.

His first target for invitation was the Power Clan, one of the four major affiliated sects of the former Haotian Sect, who worshipped his father as their master and him as their young master.

Besides, the other three major affiliated sects are also his recruitment targets. He must plan ahead and make preparations in advance.

Chapter 303 Oscar is Back (3000 words)

---Updated before 7:30 PM. Some people don't like long chapters of 10,000 words, but since I'm aiming for a high-quality post, I've simply changed it to 3000 words per chapter, combining three chapters into two.---

"Damn the Spirit Hall." Liu Erlong took the sausage, cursing as he tried to feed it to Yu Xiaogang, but found that Yu Xiaogang's jawbone had just been set and she couldn't chew, let alone swallow.

"What should we do? Xiaogang can't eat sausages at all."

Upon hearing this, Flander also looked troubled, scratching his head and saying, "I'll go urge Xiao San and the others."

As he spoke, Flander ran out quickly.

After Flander left, Liu Erlong glanced at the open door, then at Yu Xiaogang lying on the bed. After a moment's thought, blushing, she closed the door, took a bite of sausage, chewed it carefully, and then fed it to Yu Xiaogang...

After a short while, once the feeding was finished, Liu Erlong's face was flushed. She looked at the door, then at Yu Xiaogang. Having been starved for nearly twenty years, she didn't know where she got the courage, but she turned her gaze to Yu Xiaogang's only part that wasn't covered by bandages.

Liu Erlong swallowed hard, slowly pulling open... Two silent tears slid down her pale, beautiful face. No wonder... no wonder Xiao Gang had always refused to share a room with him. It turned out... it turned out he was no longer a man.

Did he really love that bitch that much? Because he couldn't have her, he was willing to castrate himself.

At this moment, Flander, Tang San and his group, along with Ning Fengzhi, also rushed over. They pushed open the door, looked at Liu Erlong, and then turned their gazes to Yu Xiaogang. Snap! Their gazes exploded instantly.

Ning Fengzhi immediately covered his daughter's eyes, and Tang San also immediately covered Xiao Wu's eyes, but they still saw it.

Ning Fengzhi's lips twitched violently, and a murderous aura quietly spread from his heart. At this moment, he had never wanted to kill anyone as much as he did now, even though he was over fifty years old... This damned Shrek Academy actually let his daughter see something that even he, a grown man, found offensive.

Half an hour later, Ning Fengzhi left with a dark face, taking Ning Rongrong with him. As for Xiao Wu, Tang San also made up a reason to send her away. Xiao Wu knew the reason for the departure and naturally didn't want to stay any longer. Tang San told her to leave, so she did.

As for Tailong, Huang Yuan, Jingling, Jiangzhu, and others, they didn't come at all.

Suddenly, only Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Flander, and Liu Erlong, who looked utterly lost and sat in the corner of the room, remained in the room.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang had slowly woken up under the healing light of Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasures True Body. Seeing everyone silent, he subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with everyone? Could it be that the Spirit Hall has canceled our Shrek Academy's qualification for the competition? Damn it, I knew this was a conspiracy by the Spirit Hall."

"No..." Tang San shook his head with a strange expression and explained, "The Spirit Hall did not disqualify us from the competition. We successfully entered the loser's bracket this afternoon. However... Lan Si did not fight the Spirit Hall Academy to a draw. He forfeited. Our opponent this afternoon is Lan Si."

The most urgent task was to defeat Lan Si, so Tang San wisely did not mention Yu Xiaogang's private parts.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief. He had put in so much effort for this competition. If he were really disqualified, all his hard work would be for nothing. He wanted to make a name for himself in the Soul Master world through this competition.

Completely unaware that his lower body had been destroyed and exposed, he looked around and, seeing that Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong and the others were no longer there, said to Tang San, "Xiao San, go and call Xiao Wu, Rongrong and Tailong over. Next, I need to make the final tactical arrangements."

....................

In the afternoon, Yu Xiaogang was unable to watch the match due to her severe injuries and difficulty walking. Liu Erlong also did not go, but sat quietly in Yu Xiaogang's room with tears in her eyes, waiting for the other party's reply.

Shrek and his team, led by Flander, once again ascend Mount Papal to participate in the semi-finals and compete for a spot in tomorrow's championship match.

Dugu Bo also went.

Tang San insisted on going along, as he had a feeling that this competition was not so simple, and just in case, he called Dugu Bo along.

The square in front of the Papal Palace.

The seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy, led by three members of the Golden Generation, stood quietly to the side. In the center of the arena, the two teams were ready and staring intently at each other.

"I thought you were planning to take on seven opponents at once again. What? Are you finally scared now?" Tang San glanced at Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing standing behind Lan Si and frowned slightly. If it were just Lan Si alone, it would be fine, but now with Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling, a Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master who can provide area-of-effect healing, things have become quite tricky. Unless they can kill him in one blow or directly blast Lan Si off the arena, things will never end.

"Of course, I'm afraid if I beat you to death, your deadbeat father will come after me." Lan Si said calmly.

"You are not allowed to insult my father." Tang San stepped forward. After being repeatedly attacked by Lan Si, his willpower was no longer as firm as it was in the original story.

Lan Si continued his tactical taunts: "Looks like your deadbeat father really didn't tell you anything... Fine, even if I've insulted you, what can you do to me? If you've got the guts... come here."

As she spoke, Lan Si beckoned to Tang San with her finger.

Shrek's residence.

Liu Erlong sat beside Yu Xiaogang's bed, wiping away tears like a wronged woman. "Xiaogang, how could that bitch be so cruel, letting someone beat you like this? And those residents of Wuhun City aren't good people either... Xiaogang... you absolutely can't be hurt, otherwise, I won't live either."

On the bed, Yu Xiaogang was wrapped in bandages, stained with blood, like a mummy, with almost no part of her body intact. Her limbs were also bound with wooden boards to prevent her bones from dislocating.

Flander had arranged all of this. For some reason, before she fell into a coma, Yu Xiaogang, with her last breath, insisted on telling Flander not to let Liu Erlong see her without clothes.

After bandaging the wound, Flander went out to find a healing-type Soul Master.

With a creak, the door to the room was pushed open, and Flander rushed in.

"How is it? Boss Fu, have you found a healing-type Soul Master yet?" Liu Erlong asked excitedly, her eyes red.

Flander shook his head with a wry smile, took out two sausages from his soul tool, and handed them to Liu Erlong. "There are quite a few healing-type soul masters in Wuhun City, but ever since Xiao Gang offended the Pope, he's become almost universally hated. Hearing that someone wanted to treat him, nobody was willing to come. I ran into Xiao Ao and the others on the road, asked them for two sausages, and came back. Now Xiao Ao and Xiao San have gone to plead with Sect Master Ning, hoping he can treat Xiao Gang."

"Damn the Spirit Hall." Liu Erlong took the sausage, cursing as he tried to feed it to Yu Xiaogang, but found that Yu Xiaogang's jawbone had just been set and she couldn't chew, let alone swallow.

"What should we do? Xiaogang can't eat sausages at all."

Upon hearing this, Flander also looked troubled, scratching his head and saying, "I'll go urge Xiao San and the others."

As he spoke, Flander ran out quickly.

After Flander left, Liu Erlong glanced at the open door, then at Yu Xiaogang lying on the bed. After a moment's thought, blushing, she closed the door, took a bite of sausage, chewed it carefully, and then fed it to Yu Xiaogang...

After a short while, once the feeding was finished, Liu Erlong's face was flushed. She looked at the door, then at Yu Xiaogang.

Half an hour later, Ning Fengzhi left with a dark face, taking Ning Rongrong with him. Tang San also casually sent Xiao Wu away with some excuse. Xiao Wu knew the reason for the departure and naturally didn't want to stay any longer. Tang San told her to leave, so she did.

Chapter 304 The Blood Ginseng is Exposed (3000 words)

---Updated before 7:30 PM. Some people don't like long chapters of 10,000 words, but since I'm aiming for a high-quality post, I've simply changed it to 3000 words per chapter, combining three chapters into two.---

Before a single game was played, the first half of the finals was already over, a dramatic turn of events that caught many off guard.

Although the Spirit Hall Academy successfully advanced to the championship match, the withdrawal of both the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Shrek Academy from the individual competition made it difficult for the Spirit Hall, as the organizer, not to feel embarrassed.

However, since the Pope had spoken, they couldn't say much more.

The group didn't linger any longer. They came in a flurry and left just as quickly. However, upon closer inspection, it became clear that Shrek Academy was missing three people: Liu Erlong, Flander, and Yu Xiaogang, who were known in the Soul Master world as the Golden Love Triangle.

Among them, Yu Xiaogang finally got his wish today and became famous in the Soul Master world, but it's a bad name, a notorious name.

He defied the Pope and was beaten out of Pope Mountain by the Spirit Hall.

He misled young people and instigated Tang San, the son of Haotian Douluo and a twin martial soul master, to prematurely switch to cultivating his second martial soul.

There were even rumors that Yu Xiaogang, in order to gain fame, forced Shrek Academy's commoner students to take drugs to forcibly increase their strength. For a time, Shrek Academy was filled with panic and was condemned by everyone.

The second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Shrek Academy walked one after the other on the road down the Pope Mountain.

Lan Si walked at the front, with the kitten and Ye Lingling on either side of him, each holding one of his arms. Behind them, Tang San and his group could be heard gritting their teeth. Clearly, Lan Si hadn't fought the Spirit Hall Academy to a draw as expected; instead, he had chosen to forfeit, just like them, which greatly displeased them.

Especially that last sentence, "We'll have to face both teams sooner or later anyway, and I think Shrek Academy is easier to deal with than Spirit Hall Academy," made them grit their teeth in anger. Coupled with the surrounding whispers, it's hard to imagine how bad their mood must have been.

"Ah Si, I feel like those Shrek Academy students are going to be driven crazy by you." The kitten turned around, covered her red lips with her hand, and chuckled.

"How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Let them get angry. It's good to toughen them up, so they won't act like the whole world owes them something." Lan Si chuckled and curled his lips, deliberately raising his voice as if afraid the Shrek Academy members wouldn't hear him.
