The Shrek Academy members were already brimming with suppressed anger, and this undisguised provocation was like igniting a powder keg. They immediately glared fiercely in the direction of the voice.
At once, Dugu Bo and Tang Chuan were seen walking towards them with expressionless faces.
"Xiaogang, be careful!"
Seeing that the newcomers were Dugu Bo, Liu Erlong's face changed dramatically. Almost instinctively, she stepped forward, using her body to shield Master, who was in the wheelchair, completely behind her.
"Erlong, you be careful too!"
Upon seeing this, Flender's heart instantly tightened. He quickly stepped forward, blocking Liu Erlong, and looked at the approaching Dugu Bo with a solemn expression. The atmosphere instantly became tense!
"Who are you calling a thief!?" The first one to leap out was Tai Long.
At this moment, Tai Long's fist was already raised. He didn't know Dugu Bo, and being naturally short-tempered, he couldn't hold back when provoked by the other party.
"Tai Long, come back."
Just then, Tang San's voice suddenly rang out.
Tai Long's fist, which was about to swing, had to stop mid-air. He turned his head to look at Tang San.
Tang San said calmly, "What's the use of arguing? If you want to fight, wait until you're in the arena. Don't you know that fighting between Soul Master academies is forbidden here?"
"Their purpose in doing this is nothing more than to provoke us, so that Shrek Academy will be eliminated early. We cannot fall for their trick."
Hearing this, Tang Chuan smiled slightly, then his gaze bypassed Tai Long and directly locked onto Tang San, who was standing behind. His gaze was so deep that it made one uncomfortable. He said,
"Little San, looking at the Soul Power fluctuations around you, your aura is much thicker than before. Your cultivation has advanced quite a bit during this time."
As he spoke, he looked Tang San up and down, but a faint, unreadable smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he abruptly changed the subject.
"It's just a pity… you followed a useless teacher like Yu Xiaogang."
"As the saying goes, 'near vermillion, one is stained red; near ink, one is stained black.' You haven't learned much good, but your thieving skills have surpassed your master."
Before Tang San could retort, his voice suddenly rose, ensuring that everyone around with ears perked up could hear clearly.
"Do you know? Your good teacher, who is known as invincible in theory, did something despicable in his youth: secretly plagiarizing core research materials from Spirit Hall and then publishing them under his own name! In the end, when the truth came out, he was mercilessly expelled and blacklisted by Spirit Hall, becoming a stray dog!"
"Now, under his careful guidance, you went to steal Senior Dugu's medicinal herbs. It can indeed be considered… carrying on your Sect's excellent tradition."
"Indeed, master and disciple are of the same lineage!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like pouring cold water into boiling oil, instantly exploding.
Not only did people from other academies around cast surprised and uncertain glances, but even substitute members like Tai Long and Huang Yuan from the Shrek Academy team subconsciously looked at Master in the wheelchair.
Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned crimson, his lips trembling violently. He suddenly gripped the armrest of the wheelchair, wanting to stand up and refute.
But when his gaze met the expressionless Dugu Bo, who exuded a chilling killing intent not far away, the angry curses at the tip of his tongue were forcefully swallowed back.
He didn't want his Bloodline to be drawn by Dugu Bo again… "Tang Chuan! You're spouting nonsense!"
Just then, Tang San stepped forward, shielding Master behind him, and shouted angrily,
"What do you mean I stole Dugu Bo's medicinal herbs?"
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is a natural wonder, a gift from nature! Since when did it become his, Dugu Bo's, private property?!"
"Moreover, I was the one who discovered and entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first! That old fellow Dugu Bo arrived later, saw the treasure, and, relying on his Titled Douluo cultivation, tried to forcibly seize it and murder for profit! In the end, failing to seize it, he turned around and slandered me, pouring dirty water on me! Utterly shameless!"
The more Tang San spoke, the more agitated he became, completely unleashing the accumulated anger and injustice in his heart.
"And you! Tang Chuan! As my elder brother, not only do you not protect me, but you collude with outsiders to frame me! You even stole the only keepsake my mother left me back in Saint Spirit Village! You are worse than pigs and dogs, a complete and utter beast!"
By the end, Tang San even sneered repeatedly, his voice resonating powerfully.
"Furthermore, a treasure trove like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well naturally belongs to the virtuous! Dugu Bo is bloodthirsty, his temperament is fickle, and he frequently massacres cities and exterminates clans. How can he be worthy of owning such a spiritual and beautiful place? A treasure spot being defiled, nothing could be worse!"
