"Since Father has already guessed, why ask me?
Haotian Douluo has always been protecting Xiao San near Suotuo City!"
Yu Xiaogang's tone was indifferent.
Tang San was the tool to prove himself.
He wanted to prove that although he was a waste, he could teach an unparalleled genius.
He wanted to shock the world.
Yu Yuanzhen was inwardly astonished, but his expression remained unchanged.
This Tang San truly had Twin Soul Spirits.
The Clear Sky Sect was too monstrous!
The reason he hadn't gone to the last battle between Tang Hao and Bibi Dong was precisely because he feared the Clear Sky Sect's strength.
Rumors of the Clear Sky Sect having seven Titled Douluos drove Yu Yuanzhen mad with envy.
Why was it as easy as drinking water for the Clear Sky Sect to produce a Titled Douluo?
Meanwhile, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family only had him as their sole Titled Douluo.
His mentality had completely crumbled.
His years-long plan to reclaim the Dugu Family had also failed.
After all these years, the family's strength had barely grown.
Yu Yuanzhen's anguish was palpable.
How could he possibly stand up for the Clear Sky Sect at a time like this?
Moreover, he feared Bibi Dong's formidable Twin Soul Spirits. The Spirit Hall was already powerful, and with Bibi Dong added to their ranks, he dared not provoke them.
That was why he hadn't intervened.
And now, the Clear Sky Sect had produced another Twin Soul Spirit wielder.
Yu Yuanzhen was green with envy.
Why did the heavens favor the Clear Sky Sect so much?
Fortunately, I have Tian Heng and Tian Xin.
Yu Yuanzhen comforted himself inwardly.
"Xiao Gang, you must be careful. The Clear Sky Sect's power has already provoked a strong reaction from the Spirit Hall.
If word gets out that the Clear Sky Sect has produced another Twin Soul Spirit wielder,
even the Spirit Hall's elders might not be able to resist taking action.
I know you value this disciple, but you must also protect yourself!"
Yu Yuanzhen sighed, showing concern for his son.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes instantly reddened. Receiving his father's concern was such a rare luxury.
"I understand, Father!"
"Go back now. I must head to Spirit City soon. Recently, our family will grow closer to the Spirit Hall.
Although our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family is one of the Upper Three Sects,
we only have one Titled Douluo.
We're barely holding on as it is!
We have no choice but to play both sides."
Yu Yuanzhen smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang felt even worse.
The icy walls around his heart softened somewhat.
He used to think the family had wronged him, that everyone in the family looked down on him.
But the family's outward glamour masked their internal struggles.
As a direct descendant of the family, had his Martial Soul not mutated, he too could have become a powerhouse.
It was because the family's expectations of him were too high that their disappointment was so great, leading them to scorn and mock him.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly empathized deeply with his father.
"Father, my disciple is a man of loyalty. Once he grows stronger, he will surely form an alliance with our family.
Though I may be a waste in terms of strength, I can still bring powerful allies to the family!"
Yu Xiaogang declared firmly.
Yu Yuanzhen patted Yu Xiaogang's shoulder and embraced him.
For a moment, father and son shared a rare bond.
A short while later, only Yu Yuanzhen remained in the private room.
His expression turned peculiar, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.
"My son… is rather special!
To encounter Twin Soul Spirit wielders from both the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect—
one as a lover, the other as a disciple."
"I'll have to find a way to make Xiao Gang meet Bibi Dong again someday!"
It must be said that through Yu Xiaogang, Yu Yuanzhen had practically become the person who understood the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall the most.
Precisely because of this, he planned to remain neutral and continue playing both sides.
He even hoped that the Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect would end up mutually destroying each other, giving his family more time to develop.
Yu Yuanzhen calculated the future.
He felt that with Yu Xiaogang serving as the bridge between them, success was still quite possible.
Shrek Academy.
Outside the cafeteria.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu walked out after breakfast.
The three arrived at the training grounds, where Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were already waiting.
Yu Xiaogang and Flender stood there solemnly.
"Teacher, I need to request leave!" Ning Rongrong suddenly announced.
"Oh? Rongrong, you're about to complete your month of Soul Duels. This is a critical moment for your team to become a Gold Spirit Duel Team," Flender said, surprised.
Since arriving at the academy, Ning Rongrong had been very cooperative, and her diligence had exceeded his expectations.
With such self-discipline, he couldn't even figure out why Ning Fengzhi had sent his daughter here for him to teach.
Why was she suddenly asking for leave now?
"I have urgent matters to attend to—at least three days," Ning Rongrong said, her eyes darting restlessly, as if she couldn't wait any longer.
"I know, Rongrong told us last night. A classmate from Heavenly Dou Royal Academy came to Suotuo City—a male classmate!" Xiao Wu teased with a playful grin.
"You little—! I shouldn't have told you!" Ning Rongrong scolded.
"And he's from the Dugu Family, a genius who once defeated Spirit Hall's 48th-ranked Soul Ancestor, Yan, in Heaven Dou City," the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing suddenly added.
"Wow, even you, Zhuqing?!"
Last night, Ning Rongrong had mentioned needing leave.
But under the relentless interrogation of her two close friends, she had no choice but to confess.
The six great families had made a resolution, and Dugu Feng had arrived. Her heart was restless, and she couldn't resist the urge to see him.
She hadn't expected her two best friends to betray her like this today.
Yu Xiaogang frowned. This was a crucial moment in their Soul Duel training phase.
He wanted to assert his authority as a teacher and refuse Ning Rongrong's request.
But someone else was faster.
"Leave granted. There's a major gathering of powerful factions in Suotuo City right now, so it's chaotic. Be careful. Mubai, Hongjun—you two should avoid Suotuo City for the time being," Flender suddenly declared.
He suddenly remembered that he had taken money from Dugu Feng.
The ruthless young master of the Dugu Family had left a deep impression on him.
It was best not to provoke him if possible.
Since Ning Rongrong was going to meet him, Flender didn't want to get involved.
Even though Dugu Feng hadn't come to him for anything all this time, he had a feeling that day would come eventually.
Beside them, Oscar's heart shattered.
Ever since Ning Rongrong arrived at the academy, he had fallen for her.
This time, she wasn't as arrogant as before and had contributed greatly to the team, earning the respect of the other Shrek Six Devils.
Oscar had poured his whole heart into her.
Unfortunately, Ning Rongrong showed no interest in him.
No matter how hard he tried to win her over, she remained unmoved.
Ma Hongjun, standing nearby, said bluntly, "Dean, what kind of logic is that? Just because they're holding a meeting in Suotuo City, we can't go there to have fun?"
He was also indignant on behalf of his good brother Oscar.
How impressive could those people from the Dugu Family be?
Were they more formidable than their Shrek Seven Devils?
"If I tell you not to go, then don't go. Just try going!"
Flender wasn't about to indulge him.
Those who dare not stir up trouble are mediocrities.
But one must consider what kind of trouble they're stirring.
With these major powers, offending even one would make it impossible to maintain the situation he'd built.
