LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 138: Chapter 138
Tang San stood in front of his teacher and said "Brother Jun, although you have helped me many times, if you disrespect my teacher again, don't blame me for being rude." As he spoke, the silent arrow hidden in his sleeve had already been discreetly released into the classroom.
"Tang San, if you want to fight—whether it's a spirit duel or a martial arts duel—I will accompany you to the end. But this matter concerns the future achievements of my clan's disciples. I will not yield."
Jun Tianlin stared at Tang San closely. If Tang San made any unusual movements, he would strike without hesitation. Whether it was a contest between the martial spirits of Douluo Continent or a battle between Shushan and Tang Sect, was there any reason for Jun Tianlin to fear him? He was confident he could crush Tang San with either.
"Enough, Xiaosan. Since the Sword Lord does not trust me, then forget it. My theories have never been widely accepted anyway, so let's leave it at that." Yu Xiaogang's voice was low, filled with deep unwillingness as though he was lamenting the world's failure to understand him.
It was as if everyone else was drunk while he alone remained sober.
With such acting skills, it was no wonder he had deceived two foolish women—Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong.
However, Jun Tianlin had no patience for his pretense. He spoke directly "If you want the world to recognize your theories, then first remove the common knowledge that everyone already understands from your core principles. Also, when you announce your theories, just state them clearly instead of shrouding them in vague mystery. How can you expect people to believe in them? If you don't want to disclose them, then treat them as secret techniques. But if you do want to share them, then be straightforward about it. There's no need for all this hypocrisy."
"Jun Tianlin!" Tang San could no longer hold back and called him by his full name "You did me a small favor in the past, but I also repaid you by giving you my Tang Sect hidden weapons. Our debts were settled long ago, and our cooperation ends here. As for the insult you gave my teacher today, one day, I will come to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan to seek justice from you."
Settle our debts? Jun Tianlin was speechless at Tang San's absurd reasoning. Before making such claims, he should check the gold soul coin card in Xiao Wu's pocket. Did he give it to her? Jun Tianlin was the one who paid for it.
"Do as you wish." Jun Tianlin smiled faintly and left with Rongrong and the others. He had been looking for an opportunity to sever ties with Tang San and Tang San's outrage was exactly what he needed.
Previously, before unlocking the Five Elemental arts, Jun Tianlin had been unable to create offensive spells, which forced him to rely on hidden weapons like the Buddha's Wrath Lotus. But now, with the Holy Spirit Pearl having acquired its first soul ring, the path to elemental techniques had opened.
Though, for now, he could only use Yang-attributed immortal techniques without offensive capabilities, this also confirmed that the Holy Spirit Pearl was the key to unlocking the full potential of immortal arts. Soon, the Five Elemental Spells would be completely unveiled. In the future, he would wield devastating techniques like *Raising Fire to Burn the Sky* and *Sinking the Stars to Shake the Earth*. Would he still need a mere Buddha's Wrath Lotus from Tang San?
At this point, Tang San held no further value to Jun Tianlin. If anything, his only use was as the heir of Haotian Douluo, attracting the enmity of the Spirit Hall.
After Jun Tianlin left, Yu Xiaogang dropped his act with his expression turning grim.
Indeed, Jun Tianlin was right. In Yu Xiaogang's heart, the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils only existed to support Tang San. Their spirit skills only needed to be effective enough to aid Tang San's growth because Tang San was his disciple—the living proof of his theories.
Only Tang San could achieve a perfect score as a soul master. For the rest, merely passing with a 60 was enough.
"Teacher, don't be angry. Your theories are absolutely correct, and I will prove them for you. Although I may not be a match for the Sword Lord now, I will surpass him sooner or later" Tang San said with firm resolve as he helped Yu Xiaogang to his seat.
"That's right, Xiaosan. Though the Sword Lord is powerful now, his potential is far inferior to yours. Don't forget, you have twin martial spirits, and your second martial spirit is the world's most powerful—the Clear Sky Hammer. When you mature, he will no longer be your opponent."
[TL:yu xiaogang the glazzing god]
Yu Xiaogang quickly composed himself. He had faced insults and ridicule his entire life—this was nothing new.
"Clear Sky Hammer? Teacher, is that the name of my second martial spirit?" Tang San asked in confusion. Since Tai Tan had been sent away by Jun Tianlin beforehand, Tang San still had no knowledge of his second martial spirit's origins.
Yu Xiaogang hesitated briefly but decided that if Tang San was going to challenge Jun Tianlin in the future, he needed to boost his confidence. So, he told Tang San everything about the Haotian Clan and Haotian Douluo.
Tang San was stunned for a long time after hearing the truth. He had never expected his background to be so prestigious—he was a descendant of the world's strongest clan, the son of Haotian Douluo, and the inheritor of the world's number one weapon spirit.
Then, his confidence soared. Wasn't the Sword Lord merely relying on his status as a member of the second strongest clan in the world and his position as the successor of Sword Douluo? Now, his own status was no less prestigious, and his potential far surpassed Jun Tianlin's.
One day, when he grew stronger than Jun Tianlin, he would use the funds given by Jun Tianlin to establish the Tang Sect and integrate the Haotian Clan. With the combined strength of both clans, he would reclaim the Tang Sect's hidden weapon blueprints from him. The Tang Sect's hidden weapons could not remain in the hands of outsiders. By then, if the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, which had seen the blueprints, was willing to submit as a subsidiary of the Tang Sect, so be it. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to...
Unaware of Tang San's delusions, Jun Tianlin led Rongrong and the others out of the teaching building. He turned to Ning Rongrong and said "Rongrong, I offended Yu Xiaogang today. Given his personality, he probably won't pass on the theory of martial fusion to you. Why don't you follow me to Heaven Dou? Hongjun, Oscar, and Yiran should come too."
"Boss, I won't go. Although I don't like Yu Xiaogang, my teacher is the true founder of Shrek, and Shrek is his lifelong effort. I want to help him make the academy famous" Ma Hongjun replied. Jun Tianlin nodded in approval—this was exactly what Ma Hongjun should do, so he didn't press further.
"I was raised by the dean and Teacher Shao Xin has been very kind to me, so I will wait until the competition is over before returning to the clan."
"I'll stay with Oscar" Meng Yiran added
Oscar, having deep ties to Shrek also chose to stay, and naturally Meng Yiran followed her beloved.
"Brother Jian, I'll stay too. As the successor to the clan leader, I can keep an eye on Hongjun and Oscar to make sure they don't slack off in training" Ning Rongrong said with a smile. She then took Meng Yiran's hand "Besides, I can't bear to leave Sister Yiran—we're best friends now."
"Alright, take care of yourselves. Anyway, with Grandpa Yang in Heaven Dou City, nothing should go wrong."
With that, Jun Tianlin waved goodbye and left Shrek Academy and making his way back to his own team.
