Chapter 143: Titan
Three days later, Dugu Yan left the Ghost Gate in a disheveled state, walking unsteadily and limping away.
As she left, she was still thinking that she never wanted to come to this damn place again; it was simply too deadly.
After Dugu Yan left, Ling Mo also left!
Enrollment was still ongoing at the moment, Dugu Bo had already gone to negotiate with Heaven Dou Academy, and Ling Mo was too lazy to stay on the mountain any longer.
It had been quite a while since he had seen Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong; to be honest, he actually missed them a bit.
The Soul Master Competition was still a few months away, and that time was enough for Ling Mo to make all preparations.
“It’s about time to go down the mountain!” With that, Ling Mo prepared to descend the mountain…
This day… Shrek Academy was extremely lively, with a crowd gathered around the playground.
Two people stood in the arena; one was Tang San!
The other one was Titan!
Zhao Wuji and a group of teachers arrived here led by Xiao Wu.
Looking at the two in the arena, they fell into deep thought.
“Why is it him?”
Zhao Wuji frowned tightly, looking at Titan standing in the arena, feeling endless fear in his heart.
This guy didn’t come sooner or later, but why at this exact time?
At this moment, Flander and Liu Erlong were not at the academy; Zhao Wuji was the highest in authority and strength in the entire academy.
Now that the opponent had come knocking, the only one who could save Tang San was Zhao Wuji.
“Teacher Zhao, hurry and stop them!” Xiao Wu said somewhat anxiously.
“The bet has been made; nothing can be done until their bet is over.
Bets between Soul Masters are sacred; stopping them now would mean Xiao San could no longer survive in the Soul Master World.
As the saying goes, without trust, one cannot stand tall. But why is his opponent this old fellow! This time, it’s probably going to be trouble.”
Zhao Wuji said helplessly; he wanted to save Tang San too, but it was already too late.
“Do you know him? Isn’t that Tailong’s grandfather?”
Zhao Wuji said seriously: “Of course I know this old fellow. Back then, I accidentally injured his clansman and was chased everywhere by him, which is why Flander and I started Shrek Academy together.”
“Old Zhao, how about sending someone to the Ghost Gate to call Xiao Mo back? That old ghost Flander won’t be back anytime soon.
Right now, only the Ghost Gate can save Xiao San; if even the Ghost Gate can’t, then…”
Lu Qibin said nervously from the side.
“Right, go find Xiao Mo…”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu seemed to have found a lifesaver.
They all knew that Ling Mo’s Ghost Gate was on the outskirts of Heaven Dou City, and they knew the location; as long as they wanted to find Ling Mo, they could go up the mountain anytime.
“Zhu Qing, can you ask him to help save Xiao San…”
Xiao Wu said anxiously, her gaze on Number Five, but… Number Five hadn’t looked over once from beginning to end.
Zhu Zhuqing tried calling him, but he completely ignored her!
He had one condition for taking action: Zhu Zhuqing had to be under attack; otherwise, he wouldn’t act.
Xiao Wu was almost in tears, looking at Zhu Zhuqing beside her, extremely anxious.
However, no matter how hard Zhu Zhuqing tried, Number Five wouldn’t budge at all.
“Zhu Qing, how about you go call Xiao Mo back for me? If he doesn’t come back soon, Xiao San is really going to be in trouble…”
Number Five remained unmoved.
Ning Rongrong had already returned to the sect, Flander and Liu Erlong were away, and Master was nowhere to be found!
Now, it seemed that besides Ling Mo, no one could save Tang San.
“Okay…”
Zhu Zhuqing didn’t refuse; she directly activated Phoenix Cloud Colorful Clothes, her wings instantly spreading as she soared into the air toward the Ghost Gate.
Number Five followed closely behind; the two flew away from the scene one after the other.
She had never been to the Ghost Gate, so she only knew the general direction; actually finding Ling Mo wouldn’t be easy.
In the arena, Titan’s pressure continued to intensify; Tang San’s body trembled, nearly collapsing several times.
Behind him, the Eight Spider Lances stabbed deeply into the ground, supporting his entire body; without them, he would have already fallen.
How could the pressure of a Soul Douluo be something a mere Soul Venerable like him could withstand?
Currently, though he had reached level 40, he hadn’t absorbed his fourth soul ring yet, making it very hard to endure this pressure any longer.
“Am I really going to lose?”
His mind clouded, Tang San had asked himself this question countless times.
Now, all his trump cards were used up; except for the Clear Sky Hammer, he had no more.
However, both Master and his father had told him not to reveal the Clear Sky Hammer in public, or his life would be in danger.
But he was about to collapse.
If he failed, he would have to join Titan’s family; he didn’t want to work for anyone…
“Bro, just admit defeat if you can’t hold on…”
Xiao Wu’s sobbing voice came through; she was so anxious she was running around everywhere.
Zhu Zhuqing had gone to call Ling Mo, but no one knew when they would return.
Despite Xiao Wu’s heart-wrenching cries, Tang San at this point couldn’t hear them at all.
His consciousness blurred, even his vision becoming hazy.
“Do you still want to keep holding on? You know, doing so will likely cause irreparable damage to your body.”
Titan said in a deep voice.
He didn’t want to ruin a genius; what he needed was the genius’s allegiance, and how could he not see Tang San’s physical condition clearly?
Zhao Wuji’s anxious voice also came at this moment: “Xiao San, admit defeat; don’t ruin your future. Everything else can be negotiated.”
“No.” Tang San uttered this simple word. Blood flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth again. “Please continue.”
He didn’t say much, but at this moment! All the teachers and students of the academy watching the fight couldn’t help but be moved.
What kind of persistence and pride it took to make him say such words.
Even Titan showed shock on his face; this young man was truly outstanding!
And precisely because of this, he absolutely couldn’t let him go; if he couldn’t get him to join, then he would have to destroy him.
At this moment, Tang San’s heart was filled with mixed emotions, utterly bitter.
They come for the young one, then the old one shows up; why is it always him getting bullied?
Just because he didn’t have a powerful backer? Or because he didn’t have an awesome dad?
Perhaps he hadn’t realized that his dad was watching him, wanting several times to swing his hammer and smash Titan.
No one could understand the inferiority complex in Tang San’s heart.
All these years, he had been extremely cautious, afraid of provoking any existence he couldn’t afford to offend and implicating others.
But now… no matter how much he yielded, these troubles still came knocking.
“Since yielding no matter what is useless, might as well… play it out fully today!”
In a hysterical low roar.
Tang San slowly raised his left hand, fingers spread open.
Thick black light surged from his palm, gradually condensing into form.
A small black hammer silently appeared in Tang San’s palm; the hammer wasn’t large, its patterns deep and dim.
But the moment it appeared, Tang San seemed to regain some strength! A heavy aura appeared around his body.
Titan’s body suddenly trembled violently. The pressure originally surging toward Tang San instantly weakened; Tang San’s body swayed.
Holding the hammer to his chest, he forcibly withstood the weakened pressure, his resolute eyes shining with unyielding light.
“This is…” Not only was Titan shocked, but Taino beside him also widened his eyes in exclamation.
At this moment, seven dazzling streams of light descended from the sky, sweeping toward Tang San’s body like a seven-colored rainbow.
In an instant, Tang San’s entire body trembled violently, his skin regaining its lost luster.
At the same time, a thick and vigorous voice resounded from all directions.
“Old ape! Bullying a kid—what kind of skill is that? Let’s have a go!”
As the seven-colored holy light faded, three people suddenly appeared in the arena.
“I wondered who it was; turns out it’s Bone Douluo and Sect Master Ning gracing us. This old man has manners.”
The three who came were Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
At this time, a greatsword suddenly descended from the sky, smashing ruthlessly onto Titan.
With a booming crash.
That sword was held up by Titan with effort, but… no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free from its suppression.
“Who?”
In an instant, the arena changed dramatically; upon seeing that sword, Zhao Wuji showed joy.
