"Brother, has Sword Grandpa arrived yet?" Ning Rongrong, now fully dressed, opened the door and stepped out of the room. She had already overheard most of the conversation inside.
"They're here," Li Xun nodded.
As soon as Ning Rongrong asked, two streaks of light had already reached the sky above them, revealing two figures. It was none other than Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo.
"What's going on?" Sword Douluo frowned, scanning the factory's surroundings.
Li Xun briefly explained the situation to them: "As expected, it's the Shrek Academy group."
Using his spiritual power to once again probe the direction in which Tang San and the others had left, he pointed towards the outskirts of the village.
"Let's go," Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo immediately took to the air, speeding off in the direction Li Xun had indicated.
Seeing Li Xun take off, Ning Rongrong quickly reached out her hand: "Brother, take me with you."
Seeing Li Xun hesitate, Ning Rongrong added, "Brother, don't forget, besides my support abilities, we also have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Hearing about the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Li Xun's heart stirred.
He and Ning Rongrong had discovered their Martial Soul Fusion Skill when Ning Rongrong had consumed the Immortal Herb. However, it had been so long since then that they had never had the opportunity or occasion to use it, and even he had nearly forgotten about it.
Ning Rongrong tilted her head, swaying slightly. As the only strong control skill she could use aside from her support abilities, how could she forget?
"Alright, let's test the effectiveness of this skill this time," Li Xun laughed, landing and scooping up Ning Rongrong in his arms, then chasing after the direction Sword Douluo and the others had gone.
Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Tang San return: "Xiao San, you're finally back."
Xiao Wu, excited, rushed into Tang San's embrace.
Tang San hugged Xiao Wu, gently patting her back: "Has Dean Flender returned yet?"
"You brat, if it weren't for covering you, I would have been back long ago," a sudden whooshing sound was heard as Flender's figure instantly appeared before them.
"Thank you, Dean," Tang San nodded with a smile at Flender.
He had been wondering why there were no Soul Masters among the many people at the factory; it turned out Flender had lured them all away.
"Let's go, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will probably react soon," seeing everyone gathered, Yu Xiaogang's grave expression slightly eased.
But just as they had not gone far, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly came from the distant sky.
Looking up, they saw two bright spots in the sky.
"Two Title Douluos!" Flender's face turned pale with fear at just a glance, his expression becoming extremely grim.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's faces kept changing colors.
They hadn't expected the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to react so quickly, having just passed through the village and entered a woodland when they were discovered.
Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment, as if making a firm decision, gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao San, you go ahead. Elder Flander, Erlong, and I will hold them off."
Liu Erlong, hearing this, narrowed her eyes and quickly stood by Yu Xiaogang's side.
Flender, with a grim face, glanced at the two rapidly approaching streaks of light in the sky, then looked back at Tang San and Xiao Wu behind him, sighed inwardly, and quickly moved to stand by Yu Xiaogang's side.
"Teacher!!" Tang San and Xiao Wu exclaimed in shock at the sight.
Yu Xiaogang thought of something and took out a token, throwing it to Tang San: "Quick, take this token to the Spirit Hall. When you see the Pope, tell her you are Yu Xiaogang's disciple."
Tang San caught the token and was about to say something when a figure suddenly appeared beside him: "Yu Xiaogang, are you just going to let Xiao San mess around like this?"
"Your Excellency Haotian." Yu Xiaogang was startled at first, but then a wave of joy surged in his heart. Flender and Liu Erlong exchanged glances and also lowered their guard.
"No need to say more. You handle the rest yourselves." Tang Hao, with a cold expression, grabbed Tang San and Xiao Wu: "Consider this a lesson for you. When you lack strength, you must think before you act."
"Father..." Tang San felt a warm surge in his heart upon seeing Tang Hao.
But before he could say anything, Tang Hao took him and Xiao Wu and vanished in an instant.
"..." Yu Xiaogang stared at the spot where Tang Hao had disappeared, his expression of joy freezing in an instant.
Flender and Liu Erlong's expressions also shifted rapidly, from joy to shock, and then to anger.
They knew Tang Hao had always been Yu Xiaogang's idol, but now, seeing Tang Hao abandon them so easily, the impact on Yu Xiaogang...
"Xiaogang, let's go." Flender's daze lasted only a moment. Seeing Yu Xiaogang still in a stupor, he quickly grabbed him along with Liu Erlong and fled toward the forest.
But before they could get far, a voice rang out from the sky.
"Do you think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a place you can come and go as you please?"
"Your Excellencies, the three of us were merely passing by. May I ask why you have stopped us?"
Yu Xiaogang had already regained his composure. Although he still felt uneasy, he had seen many big scenes before and quickly reacted.
"No need to play dumb with us. Come with us." Dugu Bo sneered.
"Your Excellency, I am an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall. If you detain us without cause, aren't you afraid the Spirit Hall will demand an explanation later?"
Yu Xiaogang reached into his pocket but found it empty, suddenly remembering he had already given the token to Tang San.
"The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!"
"An honorary elder of the Spirit Hall?" Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo exchanged glances.
"I don't care if you're an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall." Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, and nine Spirit Rings appeared beneath his feet, while a powerful pressure enveloped Yu Xiaogang and the other two.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School dares to attack an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall without reason? The Spirit Hall will not let this go."
"Elder Flander, Erlong." Yu Xiaogang shouted, and two yellow Spirit Rings appeared beneath his feet. A golden light burst from his body: "Sun and Moon Radiance Golden Shift."
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, the same golden light also appeared from Liu Erlong and Flender.
The golden light quickly enveloped the three of them, forming a golden triangle. In the center of the triangle, a ring of light flickered with intricate patterns.
"Overestimating yourselves. I'll handle these three."
Dugu Bo chuckled. Although he didn't know what Soul Skill the three were using, relying on a Soul Grand Master and two level 70 Soul Saints to stop them seemed to underestimate the power of Titled Douluos.
"Poison Enshrined, be careful. They are likely using a skill called the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which can merge the Soul Power of three individuals, unleashing a force far beyond their current level."
Sword Douluo nodded and immediately chased after Tang Hao in the direction he had fled.
It had been a long time since the incident in Suotuo City, but Tang Hao's series of actions still lingered in his mind.
Although Xiao Xun's plan this time was primarily targeting Bibidong and Qian Renxue, Sword Douluo felt uneasy if Tang Hao wasn't taught a lesson.
Yu Xiaogang's heart tightened when he saw Sword Douluo pass them to pursue Tang Hao, but recalling Tang Hao's decisive abandonment of them, he set aside his worries and began to channel his Soul Power with full force.
In an instant, a dazzling golden light erupted, and a triangular pillar of light shot into the sky: "Luo Sanpao!"
The pig-like Luo Sanpao instantly appeared within the triangular circle, with Yu Xiaogang's two Spirit Rings and Flender and Liu Erlong's seven Spirit Rings each encircling Luo Sanpao.
Amplified by the sixteen Spirit Rings, Luo Sanpao let out a painful cry as its body rapidly grew. Muscles bulged, scales embedded themselves, and within a few breaths, it had grown to over twenty meters in length.
A pair of massive wings spread out, and four claws emerged from its abdomen. Luo Sanpao had evolved from a pig-like creature into a golden dragon.
Although the skill fused by the three opponents couldn't harm him, Dugu Bo's expression turned serious.
Because behind him, there was still a village.
"It seems we're not too late!"
Just as the two sides were about to clash, Li Xun's voice rang out, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Dugu Bo.
