SL—Chapter 169: Ling Qianyao: You all come together
"Boom--"
Liu Erlong's body slammed heavily against a stone pillar inside the academy. The stone pillar snapped with a crash, and dust flew everywhere.
"Erlong!"
Flender, with his Martial Soul attached, arrived late and slowly helped Liu Erlong, who was severely injured and coughing blood, up from the rubble.
"I'm fine, Boss Flender, cough cough cough." Liu Erlong gritted her teeth and reattached her dislocated shoulder. She first glared fiercely in Dugu Bo's direction, then quickly turned her gaze to Yu Xiaogang.
The other party didn't come directly to her side to check on her injuries as expected. Instead, after confirming that Dugu Bo wouldn't attack again, he slowly walked towards the two of them. "Are you okay, Erlong? The opponent is a Title Douluo, don't be impulsive."
Liu Erlong was stunned. 'Am I okay? I'm coughing up blood right now! You're telling me not to be impulsive? Couldn't you at least say a few words in front of Dugu Bo to save face? Have you still not admitted that I am your woman?'
Her eyes instantly became resentful.
Flender glared at him and pushed him towards Liu Erlong. "Go check on Erlong's injuries, I'll handle this."
He didn't retract the wings on his back and looked at Dugu Bo. Seven Soul Rings, two yellow, two purple, and three black, pulsed on his body.
"Senior, as a Title Douluo, for you to attack a Soul Saint, isn't that a bit like bullying the weak?"
"Tsk," Dugu Bo curled his lip disdainfully. "Are you blind? This crazy woman attacked my granddaughter first.
What, that's not bullying the weak? It was a mercy that this old man didn't take her life. If the rules of the Soul Master world were used with double standards like you people, how could anything be achieved?"
"This..."
Flender frowned. It seemed that was indeed the logic?
He was momentarily speechless, but then Tang San spoke up. "Senior Dugu Bo, although Dean Liu attacked your granddaughter first, your granddaughter is not entirely without fault.
We heard their conversation on the way here. It was Dugu Yan and Ling Qianyao who slandered my Teacher, Grandmaster's reputation first.
Repeated provocations, repeated slandering. My Teacher's wife has a fiery temper. How could she tolerate such insults to my Teacher? That's why she attacked in anger.
Everything started because of Dugu Yan and Ling Qianyao. If a Senior wants to assign blame, you should deal with them first."
He spoke righteously, as if all the blame truly rested on Dugu Yan and the others.
Liu Erlong's eyes lit up. She looked at Yu Xiaogang next to her. "Did you tell him to say that?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes darted away. "No, it wasn't me. I'll go talk to him later."
Seeing his appearance, Liu Erlong's eyes dimmed, and she let out a cold snort.
"How shameless," Dugu Yan was already full of anger because her Grandpa was being questioned by Tang San, and now she was even more furious. "That so-called Grandmaster's name is undeserved. We were just stating facts, what fault is there in that?
It's Dean Liu who is unreasonable, relying on her strength to casually attack and injure people. And you people, you're even turning the tables and pushing all the blame onto us!"
Ling Qianyao looked at Tang San and said meaningfully, "A-San, since you've already heard our explanation, you should understand that Yu Xiaogang's theories are indeed not that powerful; he's just someone seeking fame. You..."
"Shut up!" Tang San frowned. "Ling Qianyao, I once considered you a good friend in Suo Tuo City, but today, you publicly insulted my Teacher in front of so many people. Don't blame me for treating you as an enemy.
My Teacher's theories are unparalleled in the world, unmatched by anyone. How could people like you, who can't distinguish the truth, be allowed to judge them? Apologize to my Teacher."
Ling Qianyao's expression turned cold.
"Hahaha," Dugu Bo burst out laughing. "Unparalleled in the world? What arrogance!
This old man has traveled the Soul Master world for many years and has seen geniuses and powerhouses as numerous as crossing carp.
I have never seen anyone dare to boast so shamelessly that their theories are unparalleled in the world. Does Yu Xiaogang's meager ability deserve such praise?"
"Hmph," Dugu Bo snorted. "This old man is too lazy to waste words with you. Not taking Liu Erlong's life was already giving face to Yu Yuanzhen. As for you junior, if you want to believe those bullshit theories, go ahead and believe them."
"Hmm?" Dugu Bo's eyes suddenly shifted slightly, his gaze like a hawk's as he looked towards a corner of Shrek Academy.
There was Xiao Wu, who had just run out with Tang San and the others. After seeing the newcomers, she quickly ran back, her aura slightly unstable as she moved.
The current Dugu Bo was not the same as before. His white hair had completely turned black, and the mental power he had depleted over the years had fully recovered.
Due to years of suffering from poison, his mental power had become even more resilient and sharp.
Dugu Bo frowned, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
Xiao Wu's fleeting aura, which carried a hint of unique charm, made him vaguely feel that something was wrong.
His mental power spread like a tide towards Shrek Academy, trying to find the source of that aura.
Two seconds later, a hint of shock and greed flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
'A Soul Beast, a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast? Shrek Academy hides such a treasure!'
He was very pleased in his heart. When Shrek was at Heaven Dou Royal Academy before, he was still recovering his mental power in the medicinal garden and further enhancing his Soul Power with the medicinal properties of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, so he hadn't seen it in advance.
A hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast coming to Heaven Dou Imperial City, joining a Soul Master Academy, and participating in the Soul Master Competition, isn't that the same as seeking death?
But it didn't matter. Although the intelligence was a bit low, it didn't affect the quality of the soul ring and soul bone.
He wouldn't need it himself. He could give it to Yanzi, or use it as a dowry to make that brat Qianyao obediently come asking for her hand.
"Jie jie jie."
As he was thinking, a telepathic message suddenly entered his ears. "Old Poison, I advise you not to have any ideas about her."
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and looked in a certain direction. "Who are you? This old man has always done as he pleases. You are also a Title Douluo. What, is this Soul Beast raised by you?"
Tang Hao spoke calmly. "Exactly. Let me say this first. The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is also here at Shrek. Do you think Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo wouldn't know the identity of this Soul Beast?
Even they wouldn't touch her. Think carefully about the disadvantages."
"Who exactly are you?" Dugu Bo's expression turned cold.
"Clear Sky Douluo"
"It's you..." Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang San. "So, he is your son. Good, I, Dugu Bo, will give face to you, Clear Sky Douluo."
At this moment, Tang San was still glaring with wide eyes, looking at the approaching Yu Xiaogang and saying, "Teacher, they are so..."
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand. "Xiao San, the truth is always in the hands of the minority. You must believe in your teacher and your father."
Tang San nodded. That's right, Teacher and Father would never harm him.
Yu Xiaogang cupped his fists and bowed to Dugu Bo. "Your Majesty, Poison Douluo, what happened today was just a misunderstanding. Yu Tianheng can indeed receive better guidance here with me."
Ling Qianyao scoffed. "Poaching is poaching, don't make so many excuses." He looked at Yu Tianheng, and the
A Star Breaking Sword appeared in his hand. "Tianheng, I can't say anything about you leaving the Royal Fighting Team.
But leaving without saying goodbye and choosing to join Shrek at this crucial moment before the Soul Master Competition truly disheartens me.
Take one sword strike from me, how about it?"
Tang San glared. "Ling Qianyao, do you think this is a place for you to run wild? Yu Tianheng is our person now. If you want to fight, our Shrek Academy will accompany you to the end."
"Alright then, you all come at me together."
Ling Qianyao pointed his sword at the Shrek members. "I want to fight seven."
"Arrogant!" Tang San was almost driven mad with anger. This guy completely disregarded him. Did he think he was easy to defeat? And he even wanted to fight seven at once?
