Yu Xiaogang slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment, and with a flick of his wrist, he pointed at Li Qing, angrily roaring, "Four years, do you know how I've spent these four years? Do you know?"
Li Qing: "..."
His expression and gaze were spot on. If his voice were a bit rougher and deeper, and he spoke in Cantonese, it would be almost identical.
"Come out, Luo San Pao!"
Yu Xiaogang's angry shout finally allowed Li Qing to witness the legendary Pig Spirit. With its adorable appearance, it would probably be very fragrant if roasted whole, wouldn't it?
"Li—"
Yu Xiaogang still wanted to ramble, but Li Qing's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of him, landing a solid punch on his chest.
"Bang!"
Yu Xiaogang was sent flying, startling the onlookers on the road who quickly dodged.
Luo San Pao proved to be the only Spirit in Spirit Master history capable of detaching from its owner and possessing a certain level of intelligence. Even without Yu Xiaogang's control as a Spirit Master, it immediately opened its maw and pounced on Li Qing.
"Bang!"
Li Qing delivered a spinning side kick, sending it flying to land beside Yu Xiaogang.
"So strong!"
Tang San and Dai Mubai's expressions tightened. The opponent's speed was so fast that they couldn't see clearly, only a blurry afterimage.
If they were in Yu Xiaogang's position, the outcome would likely not have changed much.
"Four years ago, you were not my opponent, much less now."
Li Qing's figure charged out again. Before Yu Xiaogang could stand up, he was already close, then he lifted his right leg,
and brought it down with force.
"Pfft!"
Blood spurted from Yu Xiaogang's mouth, his eyes wide like copper bells. Luo San Pao also disintegrated due to his severe injuries, returning to his body.
Flender clenched his fists, instinctively wanting to act, but Zhao Wuji held him back.
"Bang!"
Li Qing kicked Yu Xiaogang, knocking him unconscious.
He didn't want to kill Yu Xiaogang, but rather to make use of him, to experiment on Yu Xiaogang with his mutated Death Qi.
During this time, Li Qing had experimented on many animals, and only human experiments were left.
Although it would be easy for him to get a few death row inmates for experiments with his current status, he couldn't bring himself to do it. However, using Yu Xiaogang presented no psychological burden.
Li Qing looked at Ye Lengleng: "Help me check in. I have something I need to go back and deal with."
"Okay."
After Ye Lengleng agreed, Li Qing picked up Yu Xiaogang and headed towards the Ning Clan Castle.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Seeing this, Flender's breathing involuntarily quickened, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was about to go berserk. But in his anger, he ultimately only got angry.
"You have cut off my future, you have found your path to death!"
Tang San coldly watched Li Qing's retreating back, silently pronouncing his death sentence in his heart.
"You!"
Dugu Bo looked at Zhao Wuji: "You don't think your matter is over, do you?"
Zhao Wuji: ".
He felt that Heaven Dou City was incompatible with him. Including this time, he had only been to Heaven Dou City three times in total. The first time, he became a wanted criminal of Spirit Hall. The second time, he was chased by Tai Tan. The third time was truly outrageous.
Flender stepped forward: "Your Excellency Dugu Bo, I am willing to bear the consequences for him."
Dugu Bo nodded, appreciating: "Not bad, you're a true man. Since you two have such deep feelings, then each of you can lose an arm."
Flender: "???"
Zhao Wuji: "???"
Despite their immense unwillingness, they ultimately had no choice but to comply. After each lost an arm, they followed Tang Lu and left Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
They didn't even plan to try entering the academy.
Offending Xue Beng would probably not be difficult to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Clear Sky Sect's influence, but offending Li Qing was different.
Li Qing and his companions were the ace team of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
As long as the three great deans weren't fools, they wouldn't risk forcing Li Qing and his companions away to accept them. After all, if Li Qing and his companions withdrew, who would help Heaven Dou Royal Academy win the championship?
Tang San and the others arrived in high spirits and left dejected.
On the way back to Heaven Dou City, everyone was silent. Some were immersed in sadness, some were speechless, and some couldn't help but feel a hint of regret.
The sadness naturally belonged to Flender, and the speechlessness to Tang Lu.
It was just a simple registration, a very simple matter, how did it turn out like this? He had never been so speechless in his life as he was today.
As for the one regretting, it was naturally Dai Mubai.
What a load of nonsense about being the head of the Upper Three Sects, it was nothing. If he had known Tang Lu was so useless, he should have exercised more restraint back then, otherwise, none of these subsequent events would have happened.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did; he blamed Tang Lu for not being able to handle the consequences.
"What are your plans next?"
As they approached the gates of Heaven Dou City, Tang Lu suddenly asked. Although he really wanted to part ways with them, he couldn't bear to lose these three geniuses, Dai Mubai included.
Even though he knew Dai Mubai was a Star Luo Prince.
All three of them had excellent talent, and there was still hope for them to become Titled Douluo in the future. They could completely tie them to the Clear Sky Sect through marriage in the future. Flender glanced at him.
"I'm tired. I want to find a place to rest well. If possible, I'll entrust these three children to you. Their talent shouldn't be buried like this."
Yu Xiaogang's 'death' dealt a significant blow to Flender, instantly draining his spirit.
He no longer wanted to bother with any more academies; he just wanted to find a place to spend his twilight years peacefully. Zhao Wuji and the others didn't matter, but Ma Hongjun and the other two were different.
They were still young and talented, so they naturally couldn't just waste away with them.
"Teacher/Dean Flender—"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar spoke in unison, but the words caught in their throats.
Flender forced a strained smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just want to rest for a while. You must cultivate diligently. I will come to watch the Spirit Master Tournament."
After speaking, he looked at Tang Lu again.
Tang Lu said: "I'm very sorry about Grandmaster's matter. You should understand Dugu Bo. For the Sect, I had no choice but to do this, otherwise, I couldn't bear the consequences."
"You can rest assured and entrust these three children to me. I will definitely take good care of them."
"In terms of overall level, Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not considered top-tier. I will definitely help them find a top-tier academy, at least one where the cultivation environment won't be worse than Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Flender nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you."
And so, the group separated outside Heaven Dou City. Flender and his companions headed towards an unknown direction, while Tang Lu and the others entered Heaven Dou City after they had gone far.
