Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 69 Yu Xiaogang's Mysterious Confidence
The next morning, Qin Ming led everyone into the Great Soul Arena.

Zhao Wuji suddenly stopped and looked at Flander beside him, asking in a low voice, "Boss, are you really sure? Are you sure you want to give up the academy?"

"Old Zhao, I have to think about the little monsters, don't I?"

Flander gave a bitter smile, sighed helplessly, and then said with a smile, "I have already inquired with Qin Ming. The teachers at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy have very good benefits. At least enough to allow you to enjoy your retirement."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji and the others fell silent.

After all, they are all getting old and can no longer live a life of hardship like they did when they were young. Having a place to retire is indeed a good option.

Undeniably, with their cultivation levels above Soul Emperor, they could easily join any faction and be treated as honored guests, and even obtaining a noble title wouldn't be difficult.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Whether you join a faction or obtain a title, you will be subject to various constraints.

Simply put, once a noble title is accepted, there is an obligation to be loyal to the empire. In the event of war, these nobles must obey the empire's orders and go to the battlefield.

It's just a disguised form of working and risking one's life; joining a faction is pretty much the same.

This is also why there are so many commoner Soul Masters.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang walked over and hurriedly asked, "Qin Ming, where is your team leader?"

“We did arrange to meet at a certain place yesterday, but I didn’t return last night, and now I’m not sure exactly where they are.”

At this point, Qin Ming smiled slightly awkwardly and guessed, "Maybe they're already preparing for team battles."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. They couldn't possibly search slowly in this great arena.

Just as they were at their wits' end, a somewhat arrogant female voice came from behind them.

"Teacher Qin, what are you doing here?"

Everyone turned around and saw a woman with short, dark purple hair and a hot figure standing not far away; it was Dugu Yan.

Upon seeing this familiar figure, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's pupils suddenly contracted, and they subconsciously took two steps back.

Could it be such a coincidence that this woman is actually a member of the Royal Fighting Team?

Upon seeing Dugu Yan appear, Qin Ming immediately strode forward and asked, "Yanzi, where are the others?"

"Everyone is in the rest room adjusting their mindset and preparing for the team's fighting spirit."

As soon as she finished speaking, Dugu Yan's gaze swept over the group of people behind Qin Ming with a hint of scrutiny. She frowned slightly and asked, "Teacher Qin, who are these people?"

"They are all my teachers and junior students, and they are planning to join our Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Teacher Qin, don't these people look a bit too shabby?"

Dugu Yan crossed her arms and said without any politeness.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's smile froze instantly, and Flander and the others' expressions turned ugly.

They made a special trip to visit, only to be humiliated to their face by a junior. They were quite embarrassed.

Zhao Wuji, who always had a fiery temper, suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Little girl, didn't anyone teach you how to speak to your elders?"

"Elders? Do you deserve that title?" Dugu Yan sneered, retorting sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji was instantly enraged. He had been holding back a lot of anger, and now it was ignited.

"You have some nerve. Today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders."

Seeing Zhao Wuji preparing to make a move, Qin Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly stepped in to stop him.

You should know that Dugu Yan's elder was the Poison Douluo!

Although Poison Douluo was Lin Mu's defeated opponent, he was still an existence that they absolutely could not provoke.

"Qin Ming, why are you stopping me!"

"Teacher Zhao, we have important business to attend to right now. You are a magnanimous person, so please don't take it to heart."

Qin Ming quickly calmed Zhao Wuji down, and before he could react, he instructed Dugu Yan, "Yanzi, take us to the rest room first." Hearing this, Dugu Yan gave a light snort and reluctantly led the way.

Before long, she led these people into a spacious lounge.

There were only five people inside the room; Lin Mu, Ye Lingling, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were not there.

Since Qin Ming did not return all night, Lin Mu needed to go there in person to discuss the team's fighting spirit, and Ye Lingling volunteered to go with him.

During this time, Tang San was dragged by Xiao Wu to fight in a two-person Soul Battle.

Upon seeing Dugu Yan bring in a group of strangers, Yu Tianheng and the others were taken aback and looked at Dugu Yan with great curiosity.

"Yanzi, who are these people?" Yu Tianheng asked.

"these people"

Before Dugu Yan could explain, a voice tinged with a sense of vicissitude interrupted her.

"Tianheng."

Yu Xiaogang stepped out from behind the crowd, his hands behind his back, maintaining the demeanor of a master.

Only when facing Yu Tianheng did he manage to force a stiff smile.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man walking towards him, Yu Tianheng was first taken aback, then excitedly went to greet him.

"Uncle! What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Dugu Yan, was shocked. They never expected that the two had this kind of relationship.

Yu Xiaogang patted Yu Tianheng on the shoulder, his gaze sweeping over the members of the Royal Fighting Team present, and asked, "Tianheng, with your talent and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, you should be the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, right?"

“That’s right,” Yu Tianheng nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. Since Yu Tianheng was the captain, he was even more confident.

"Uncle, where have you been all these years?"

Looking at his uncle whom he hadn't seen for many years, Yu Tianheng's eyes reddened slightly, and his voice choked with emotion as he said, "Grandpa and Dad miss you very much. Please come back to the family with me!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang firmly shook his head, a complex and resolute glint in his eyes, and said calmly:

“I have long been expelled from the family and have no connection with it whatsoever now.”

In his view, rather than going back to be ridiculed, it would be better to prove his abilities before returning with his head held high.

Let those snobbish bastards see that Yu Xiaogang is no good.

He then suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked, "Tianheng, what level is your soul power now?"

"Level 42".

Upon hearing this, Flander and the others were secretly taken aback.

Yu Tianheng looks not much older than Dai Mubai, yet he is already a Soul Sect expert. No wonder he is the captain of the Royal Fighting Team.

Yu Xiaogang nodded, a smile creeping onto his face. The stronger Yu Tianheng was, the more it would help him control the Royal Fighting Team.

He quickly suppressed his excitement and said in a calm tone, "Level 42 is not bad, Tianheng. If I were to personally teach you, your strength would definitely be stronger than it is now."

Yu Tianheng was taken aback, completely unprepared for his uncle's words.

In his opinion, no one could compare to Teacher Lin Mu; Tang San and Xiao Wu were the best proof of that.

If he can cultivate even Blue Silver Grass to this level, he would definitely be even stronger.

Unfortunately, Teacher Lin Mu has no plans to take on any more students.
