NOVEL NEXT Chapter 178: Tang Hao Purpose
"Am I a commoner?"
Tang San's expression remained unchanged as he calmly asked the question.
He was the son of Tang Hao, the sole heir of the Clear Sky Douluo!
Titled Douluo existence worshiped by the Strength Clan!
Without Yu Xiaogang, his life would have been far better than it was now, certainly not worse!
As for Yu Xiaogang's teachings—he didn't believe that Tang Hao, as the Clear Sky Douluo, would lack such knowledge.
Nor did he believe that the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect, would be devoid of such resources.
What had Yu Xiaogang truly given him?
Blue Silver Grass Entanglement?
Hearing this, the audience was bewildered. What nonsense was Tang San spouting now?
He wasn't a commoner, so could he be claiming to be a noble?
What kind of noble acted so recklessly during matches, not knowing restraint?
The audience didn't understand, but Yu Xiaogang froze as if he had just realized something. His eyes widened in shock!
What a question: "Am I a commoner?"*
In an instant, Yu Xiaogang finally remembered—Tang San's surname was Tang, and his father was the Clear Sky Douluo!
Even without his own theories, would Tang San's achievements truly be any less than they were now?
Realizing this, Yu Xiaogang laughed—a laugh born of fury. "Hahaha…"
"What a Tang San, what a Clear Sky Douluo!"
"To think that in the end, I, Yu Xiaogang, was the clown all along!"
After laughing, Yu Xiaogang paused, then continued, "You all knew my circumstances and wanted to use the knowledge and connections I possessed to build even greater strength!"
"And… the secret of Bibi Dong's twin martial souls!"
"Before this happened, in the entire world, only I, Yu Xiaogang, could obtain the secret of how to add spirit rings to the second martial soul from Bibi Dong!"
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang finally understood why Tang Hao had approached him back then to teach Tang San.
Only he, Yu Xiaogang, had access to such resources!
Even the Clear Sky Sect or the Clear Sky Douluo didn't possess such knowledge!
They wanted to cultivate an invincible Titled Douluo, and the key obstacle was precisely this: How could the second martial soul absorb high-level spirit rings without the body exploding?
Without this secret, it was almost impossible for Tang San to become an invincible Titled Douluo!
As these words fell, the entire audience was in an uproar!
Tang San… Clear Sky Douluo?
A surname Tang, a twin martial soul?
Both those who knew about Tang San and those who didn't fell silent.
And the secret of the twin martial souls!
It turned out that in Pope Bibi Dong's possession lay the key to adding spirit rings to the second martial soul.
At this moment, Tang San was dumbfounded. He had genuinely not anticipated this!
All he had wanted was to sever ties with Yu Xiaogang. How could he have imagined that Yu Xiaogang would reveal such a bombshell?
"Could it be… Father really thought this way?"
Tang San's expression grew increasingly unpleasant, his face alternating between shades of green and white.
If he had known that Yu Xiaogang was useful in this way, he might have endured serving him for a time, just to see if there was any benefit to be gained.
Even if everything was exposed—even if Bibi Dong had treated Yu Xiaogang like this—what if Yu Xiaogang had succeeded?
Seeing Tang San's shifting expressions, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's lips curled into a faint smile. He had lost everything, left with nothing at all.
Now, he even lacked the ability to care for himself—his life was worse than death.
The Martial God Douluo, Pope Bibi Dong, Clear Sky Douluo?
Heh…
Now, Yu Xiaogang feared nothing and sought only death!
With this thought, Yu Xiaogang directly laid everything bare, saying: "Now that everything is exposed, you see that I'm of no use anymore, and you start to discredit me, right?!"
"Hahaha!"
He laughed again, a laugh filled with bitterness. Yu Xiaogang continued: "All the nobles, those of the Spirit Hall, those of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—they can curse me, beat me!"
He had betrayed the interests of the nobles, the Spirit Hall, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so it was only natural for them to scorn him.
"But as for commoner spirit masters, if you have even the slightest bit of conscience, you cannot curse me or speak a single ill word about me!"
Although Yu Xiaogang was indeed guilty of "stealing fame and reputation," the knowledge he appropriated was almost entirely published and made accessible. It allowed the "destitute" and "rootless" commoners to learn theories and concepts they should never have had access to.
In this regard, the ordinary commoners were indeed beneficiaries. What Yu Xiaogang said was not wrong at all.
"I, Yu Xiaogang, am indeed not a good person. I use any means necessary to achieve my goals!"
"But you have enjoyed the results!"
"If not for me, how many among you would have exploded and died while absorbing spirit rings?"
"If not for me, where would you have learned about the age limits and weaknesses of rare spirit beasts?"
Upon hearing this, many commoners began to ponder, especially those who had studied Yu Xiaogang's theories.
To the nobles, these theories might have been common knowledge. But for the commoners who had nothing, they were treasures.
As if spurred by a thought, Yu Xiaogang continued: "Even if the entire world curses me and blames me—"
"Tang San, you have no right to vilify me!"
"I gave you everything I had. I used every resource I could to pave the way for you!"
"And now, you want to leave me!"
"You cannot slander me, nor do you have the right to do so!"
Indeed, the whole world could curse Yu Xiaogang for his shamelessness, but Tang San could not!
"Tang San, people call Qin Ming and the Shrek Academy traitors. But in truth, you are the biggest traitor of all!"
"Shut up!"
Tang San roared angrily. He would never admit to being a traitor!
His composure was shattered; Tang San had lost his cool!
It seemed that Tang San being a "traitor" was now confirmed.
Qin Ming: "…"
At some point, Qin Ming had become the poster child for being a "traitor."
But he, Qin Ming, had never forgotten his roots!
Only Tang San had forgotten.
In the VIP seats, Zhongli, who had been ready to leave, sat back down.
He had thought he could leave the scene, but who could have expected yet another shocking revelation?
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had fallen out!
What a scene: "Yu Xiaogang, you're already at rank 30, yet you're still unsatisfied!"
This All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament's opening ceremony was turning out to be a dramatic spectacle.
Not far from Zhongli, "Xue Qinghe" was also dumbfounded.
In her memories, this scene had never occurred!
Could it be that ever since she invited Zhongli to serve as the Crown Prince's advisor, the entire "plot" had shifted?
If so, what use was her "foresight"?
At this moment, "Xue Qinghe" fell into deep contemplation.
Yu Xiaogang's downfall, the disciple turning against the teacher—none of this seemed to involve Zhong Li directly.
So why had these changes occurred?
"Xue Qinghe" was perplexed. After a moment of thought, she gave up trying to understand.
The more chaos, the better. For her, this was a good thing.
If Shrek Academy could collapse on its own without her intervention, so much the better.
"Yu Xiaogang, your words are mere delusions!"
"I, Tang San, am pure and untainted. How could I associate with someone as petty and thieving as you!"
