Shrek Academy, formerly known as Blue Tyrant Academy! 

Titan arrived in a towering rage. As a genuine Spirit Douluo, he possessed overwhelming strength and an aura that nearly rivaled the mightiest on the continent, the Titled Douluo. 

When he stormed into the academy, the teachers didn't dare to block his path. They could only report the incident to the higher-ups. Soon, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong stepped forward to confront him. 

Others might fear a Spirit Douluo, but Yu Xiaogang was different. He knew who Tang San's father was, and his voice seethed with anger as he declared: 

"How dare you come here? You injured my disciple, Tang San. This grudge, this hatred, will never be forgotten!" 

Titan burst into laughter, his aura erupting unabashedly as he sneered and threatened: 

"Since when do insects dare speak to me like this? You're not even a Spirit Ancestor, yet you're so arrogant. Hand over this Tang San to me immediately, and have him detoxify my son. If anything happens to my son, I'll tear down this academy!" 

The overwhelming pressure surged forward. Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale—partly from the sheer force and partly from the sting of those words. 

Born with only half a rank of innate spirit power, Yu Xiaogang had spent his life unable to break past the thirtieth rank of spirit power. It was a wound etched deep into his soul, and Titan's ridicule cut him to the core. 

Flender and Liu Erlong stepped in front of him, shielding him from the oppressive aura. Both were Spirit Saint, and though they were a level below Titan, they weren't entirely powerless. 

Titan's blatant arrogance, coupled with his threat to destroy their academy, enraged them both. 

Yu Xiaogang's eyes reddened with fury as he shouted: 

"Tang San remains unconscious! You want us to hand him over? Dream on! Sun and Moon Radiance, Golden Transformation!" 

As his voice fell, golden light surged from Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong, intertwining rapidly. The resulting aura was no weaker than Titan's. 

Titan's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed: 

"This is… a martial soul fusion technique!" 

Though impulsive and fiercely protective, Titan wasn't ignorant. The immense aura emanating from the fusion made even him feel its vast power. However, remembering his son's plight, his expression darkened. 

Without hesitation, he activated his martial soul. His already towering, iron tower-like body grew even larger and more muscular. His arms extended below his knees, his muscles bulged, and eight spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—appeared in succession. The terrifying spirit power radiating from him distorted the very air. This was the true terror of an extreme power-type Spirit Master. 

Titan roared: 

"I don't care what tricks you have! If you don't hand over Tang San today, don't blame me for being ruthless!" 

Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong completed their martial soul fusion. Yu Xiaogang's Luo San Pao, now empowered not only by its own two spirit rings but also by Flender's seven and Liu Erlong's seven, roared and transformed. It evolved into a massive dragon over dozens of meters long, with claws and fangs bared in an awe-inspiring display of might. 

The Golden Iron Triangle's signature technique from their youth—the Tri-Unity Martial Soul Fusion Technique—had returned. 

Yu Xiaogang raised two fingers like a sword and said coldly: 

"If you want to take Tang San, you'll have to get past us first. And when Tang San's father arrives, he'll make sure you die without a grave to rest in!" 

Titan laughed uproariously, his aura climbing to its peak as he bellowed: 

"In my life, I've never feared anyone! Not even the Seven Great Clans can make me bow! Who is this person you're talking about?!" 

Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment. He knew he had to plant a seed of fear in Titan's heart; otherwise, if Titan truly fought without restraint, the academy would be destroyed. His voice turned icy as he replied: 

"Tang Hao." 

As the name fell from his lips, Titan was struck as if by lightning. His soaring aura was forcibly interrupted, and his internal energy surged chaotically. Staggering backward repeatedly, he stammered in disbelief: 

"Clear Sky…"

Yu Xiaogang felt an immense sense of satisfaction seeing Titan subdued by fear. He straightened up and firmly declared: 

"That's right!" 

Titan's mind reeled. Tang Hao… Tang San… The names swirled in his thoughts. When he remembered his own son's dire condition, he seemed to age ten years on the spot. Sighing heavily, he retracted his martial soul and lowered his head in submission. 

"I was in the wrong today. I hope all of you can forgive me. My son… he doesn't have much time left." 

He looked up, pleading, "Please, just let me see Tang San. I only need him to detoxify my son. I swear, I won't harm him in any way." 

Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong exchanged glances. None of them had anticipated that merely mentioning Tang Hao's name would make Titan, a Spirit Douluo, bow his head in defeat. 

Realizing the situation could be resolved peacefully, the trio also retracted their martial soul fusion technique. After all, this was within Shrek Academy grounds, and avoiding a battle would be for the best. 

Yu Xiaogang sternly warned, "Tang San is still unconscious. When he wakes up, he can detoxify your son. But until then, you are not to wake him forcefully. Doing so could cause further harm." 

Titan thought about his son, then about Tang Hao and Tang San. Suppressing his frustration, he closed his eyes and nodded bitterly. 

"I understand."

*Inside the Academy – Tang San's Room* 

Tang San lay unconscious on the bed. Xiao Wu stayed by his side, never leaving. Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong stood nearby, accompanied by several other teachers. 

On the opposite side of the room were Titan and Tai Long, both restless and anxious. However, no matter how long they waited, Tang San showed no signs of waking. 

As the evening deepened and four to five hours passed, Tang San finally stirred. He let out a faint groan, his body wracked with excruciating pain inside and out. For Wang Li, this might have been routine, but for Tang San, it was his first experience of such agony. 

Xiao Wu's joy was overwhelming. 

"Brother, you're awake!" 

At her exclamation, everyone in the room brightened with relief and excitement. 

Titan quickly strode forward, his towering figure dropping to one knee. In a deep, pleading voice, he said, 

"Young friend, please help detoxify my son. He… he's barely hanging on!" 

Supported by Xiao Wu, Tang San sat up. He glanced at Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong before shifting his gaze to Titan and Tai Long. 

Piecing together the situation in his mind, Tang San's heart burned with anger. However, the terrifying aura emanating from Titan made him suppress his emotions. In a hoarse voice, he said, 

"Bring Tai Nuo here, both of you." 

Titan and Tai Long lit up with hope and immediately had Tai Nuo carried into the room. 

Tai Nuo's face was ashen, a sickly purple hue overtaking his complexion. His breathing was faint, so weak he seemed more dead than alive, though he still clung to a thread of life. 

Tang San summoned his Eight Spider Lances. Although they hadn't fully recovered after being damaged, two of the limbs remained intact. He carefully pierced Tai Nuo's body with the intact spider legs. 

The Eight Spider Lances began extracting the Man-Faced Demon Spider's poison from Tai Nuo's body. Along with the poison, they also absorbed some of Tai Nuo's spirit power and life force. Tang San's eyes flickered as he activated the Mysterious Heaven Technique, channeling the energy into himself, accelerating his recovery. 

Ten minutes later, Tang San retracted the Eight Spider Lances. 

"The poison has been neutralized. The rest is up to him. He'll need time to recover." 

Titan and Tai Long were overwhelmed with gratitude. 

Tang San, however, knew the truth. Tai Nuo's condition was beyond saving. The prolonged exposure to the poison had irreparably damaged his bones, meridians, nerves, and more. Furthermore, the Eight Spider Lances had consumed some of his vital energy and special properties. 

But Tang San had no intention of revealing this.
