Douluo Continent V: Suppressing Tang San with the Might of the Super Beast God

A day later, Qiu Hougong and his group, who had been running all the way to the Star Dou Great Forest, arrived at a small town that was relatively close to the Star Dou Great Forest in the evening.

"Let's find a place to rest in this small town today."

Zhao Wuji looked at the sun, which was about to set, and said something before leading Qiu Hougong and the others into the town.

Upon arriving at a hotel, Qiu Hougong led the three women to one table, while Tang San and his group of four went to another table.

"These kids... never mind, they'll be fine after they go into the Star Dou and play a couple of rounds."

Seeing the group sitting down at two separate tables, Zhao Wuji, who thought they were just having a normal tiff between children, sighed and then turned to walk towards his private room.

After Zhao Wuji left, Qiu Hougong and Tang San's two tables of people chatted happily.

However, just as they were about to eat, eight Soul Masters dressed in moon-white robes walked in from outside.

"Oh, it's you Soul Masters. Please come in..."

The restaurant owner spoke very politely to the middle-aged man who was a few times more handsome than Tang San.

"Okay, find us a seat further inside."

The middle-aged man spoke calmly to the boss.

"Alright, gentlemen, please follow me..."

The restaurant owner smiled obsequiously, then led the middle-aged man and the others inside.

"Hey Boss Dai, look. That woman is pretty good-looking."

At Tang San's table, Ma Hongjun, who was sitting near the edge of the table, said something to Dai Mubai with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Dai Mubai glanced at the 'Canghui' badge on the middle-aged man's chest, then said with a disdainful expression, "It's just a mere Canghui Academy. Let him show off his arrogance."

After Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun finished speaking, the group from Canghui Academy, who had already taken their seats, all looked grim.

"Teacher, these kids are too arrogant. Shouldn't we..."

A young man sitting next to the middle-aged man said in a low voice.

"Yeah, let's teach them a lesson, but remember not to go too far."

Ye Zhiqi, the teacher leading the team and also the director of the Foreign Affairs Department of Canghui College, gave these instructions.

"Yes, teacher."

After agreeing, the young man turned around and walked towards Dai Mubai's table as if he were just passing by.

"Good thing you've come, I can use you guys to vent my anger."

Seeing that the people from Canghui Academy still dared to come over, Dai Mubai, who had been harboring anger, sneered, then stood up and shoved the person who approached him away.

"You dare mess with me? I'll make sure you get out of here on your backs today!"

Dai Mubai twisted his wrist, and without activating his martial soul, he raised his leg and charged towards the five male students who had stood up in anger because of his previous actions.

Seeing Dai Mubai make a move, Tang San and Ma Hongjun, who were also unhappy, slammed their fists on the table and rushed up with Dai Mubai.

"These guys are just looking for trouble."

Seeing Tang San and the others wrestling with their opponents, Ning Rongrong, who was sitting to Qiu Hougong's left, couldn't help but speak up.

"Exactly. Those people didn't bully the boss or shout. Just because they were wearing the same academy uniform, does that mean they're being arrogant? Why don't you say Shrek Academy is too poor to make uniforms for you?"

Xiao Wu also spoke up. Although she loved and was good at fighting, she couldn't bring herself to actively seek trouble.

"Brother Qiu, what do you mean?"

"I'm sitting across from Qiu Hou Gong," Zhu Zhuqing said softly. For her, the conflict between Tang San and his group and Canghui Academy wasn't important; what mattered was Qiu Hou Gong's thoughts and attitude towards the matter.

"Let's go help."

After taking a sip of water, Qiu Hougong stood up and addressed the three women.

"Huh? Brother Qiu, are you going to help those scraggly monsters?"

Ning Rongrong asked with some doubt.

"No, we're going to help Cang Hui."

Qiu Hougong's lips curled up slightly, and then he led Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing toward Dai Mubai and the others who had just finished their battle.

"You bunch of brats, you've really gone too far..."

Ye Zhi Qiu, seeing his students being knocked down, suddenly stood up. However, just as he was about to teach Dai Mu Bai and the others a lesson, three figures suddenly blocked his way.

"Qiu Hougong! What are you doing?!"

Seeing Qiu Hougong appear before him, Dai Mubai felt a surge of anger and involuntarily stepped back, knowing he was no match for Qiu Hougong.

"What do I need to do? It's very simple..."

Qiu Hougong stretched his shoulders, then looked at Dai Mubai's face, which was filled with three parts fear, three parts anger, and four parts bewilderment, and said, "It's to teach you a lesson on behalf of the Dean and Teacher Zhao!"

"What? You... ugh..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Hougong, who was also unarmed, punched Dai Mubai in the stomach. If Dai Mubai hadn't barely eaten, Qiu Hougong's punch would have definitely knocked the food out of his stomach.

"Boss Dai!"

Seeing Dai Mubai lose his balance, Ma Hongjun quickly stepped forward to support him, "Qiu Hou, Gong Wochao..."

Another whip kick landed, and Xiao Wu swallowed Ma Hongjun's words back. "How many times have I told you? You're not allowed to curse Brother Qiu! You're not allowed to curse Brother Qiu! Why don't you ever learn your lesson, you big fatso!"

Swish!

Seeing the miserable state of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, Tang San didn't say a word. He simply reached into the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon and took out two silver needles, then flew them towards Xiao Wu.

Ding!Ding!

Two metallic clangs rang out, and Tang San's flying silver needles were unsurprisingly blocked by Qiu Hougong's Cloud Bat Armor Form. However, this did not diminish Qiu Hougong's anger towards Tang San.

"not good……"

Seeing Qiu Hougong's speed, Tang San realized something was wrong and quickly reached out with both hands towards the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon, intending to take out two silver needles and send them towards Ning Rongrong, who was furthest away from him, to attack where the enemy was bound to come to the rescue.

Unfortunately, before Tang San's hand could reach the target, Qiu Hougong's figure had already arrived in front of him and grabbed his hand.

Clang! Clang!

"what!!!"

In an instant, Qiu Hougong dislocated Tang San's arm, and while kicking Tang San to the ground, he also ripped off his Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon.

"Xiao Ao, keep an eye on Tang San for me. I'll put his arm back on in a bit."

Seeing Tang San open the middle door, Qiu Hougong, who had been collected from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night event in the system's inventory, reached out to shield Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, who was already beside him, from seeing anything inappropriate. He then spoke to Oscar, who was still sitting at the table. He had originally wanted Zhu Zhuqing to participate in beating Tang San, but now it seemed best to postpone that idea.

"it is good."

Oscar nodded. Although Qiu Hougong had never laid a hand on him or said a harsh word, he was still quite afraid of him. After all, he had witnessed Tang San and the others' miserable state more than once, and having already given up on pursuing Ning Rongrong, he didn't want to provoke Qiu Hougong.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Just as Oscar was thinking about how to help Tang San, who was still howling, up, Zhao Wuji's voice suddenly came from upstairs.

"Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing. Stop."

Seeing Zhao Wuji walking towards them, Qiu Hougong first called out to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, then led them back to Ning Rongrong's side.

"Qiu Hougong, what exactly are you doing? Why are you leading Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to beat up Dai Mubai and the others?"

Seeing Tang San and the others' expressions, Zhao Wuji said with a grim face.

He didn't understand why Qiu Hougong didn't help Dai Mubai and the others when this was clearly an external incident, and instead even started fighting with them. Were they even students from the same academy?

"Teacher Zhao, I was just disciplining the students, I didn't mean to beat them up."

Qiu Hougong replied.

"Educating classmates? Is this how you educate classmates? Besides..."

Before Zhao Wuji could finish speaking, Ye Zhiqi's voice suddenly came from the side, "Brother, you're the teacher of these kids, right? Just now, your students not only insulted our Canghui Academy, but also beat up my students. Shouldn't you give us an explanation for this?"

"I'm telling you to get a spoonful of this paste!"

After hearing Ye Zhi Qiu's words, Zhao Wu Ji, who was in a state of rage, fired a shot at Ye Zhi Qiu's head, then another shot, and another shot.

After delivering three heavy punches, Zhao Wuji adjusted his fighting stance and raised his hand to deliver another Han De Hai! This sent Ye Zhi Qiu flying out of the hotel.

"Wow, Ye Zhi Qiu is really unlucky. When I read the book before, at least he knew the main characters' spirit rings and the name of the academy. Now he was knocked away without getting any information, and his injuries are not just ordinary."

Watching Ye Zhi Qiu being sent flying, Qiu Hou Gong couldn't help but mutter a curse in his heart.

As he finished complaining, Zhao Wuji, who had already ordered the Canghui Academy staff to take their teacher away, also vented his anger a little, asking, "Where was I?

“You previously said, ‘Is this how I educate my classmates?’”

Qiu Hougong reminded him.

"Yes, and who gave you permission..."

Zhao Wuji didn't finish his sentence, but this time he didn't have the arrogance he had shown towards Ye Zhi Qiu before, because he sensed a familiar aura.

"Teacher Zhao, what's wrong?"

Seeing Zhao Wuji freeze, Qiu Hougong asked with a very puzzled expression.

"It's okay, you did the right thing. But you went a little too far, you can't do that next time."

Zhao Wuji gave Qiu Hougong a somewhat erratic "criticism" before turning around and returning to his room.

"Brother Qiu, what's wrong with him?"

Xiao Wu looked at Zhao Wuji as he walked away and asked in confusion.

"It's alright, I think Teacher Zhao understands our good intentions."

Qiu Hougong smiled and touched Xiao Wu's jet-black hair. Then, he 'borrowed' more than ten gold soul coins from Dai Mubai and gave them to the hotel owner to compensate for the losses he had just caused to the hotel.

"Give me back my moonlit night on the Twenty-Four Bridges."

With his arm reattached by Qiu Hougong and the pain in his body greatly reduced, Tang San said to Qiu Hougong, who was turning to leave.

The Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night was filled with hidden weapons and poisons that Tang San had prepared over the years. Without them, Tang San's overall combat power would be greatly affected, so he had to get the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night back.

"Those things of yours are too dangerous, I'll confiscate them for now. I'll return them to you later."

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Qiu Hougong waved at him without turning his head, then led Xiao Wu and the others upstairs...

In the evening, after dinner, Qiu Hougong returned to his single room.

"Sister Lingyuan, are you there?"

Sitting on the bed, Qiu Hougong spoke to the air around him.

"I'm at Xiao Qiu's place, what's up?"

Ling Yuan suddenly appeared in the room and said.

"Sister Lingyuan, you've worked so hard protecting us these past two days. This is a gift I prepared for you..."

Qiu Hougong stood up, walked to Ling Yuan's side, took out the fruit he had bought from the system, and placed it in her hand. "This fruit is called the Crimson Flame Nine-Star Fruit. Eating it should allow your cultivation to advance further."

"No, Xiao Qiu..."

Sensing the immense energy contained within the fruit, and knowing it was no ordinary thing, Ling Yuan quickly shook her head and refused, saying, "This thing is too precious; I cannot accept it."

“Even the most precious things can only realize their value when given to the right person. Sister Lingyuan, please accept this…”

After several rounds of arguing, Ling Yuan, deeply moved, finally accepted the gift from Qiu Hou Gong.

clang!clang!clang!

"Brother Qiu, may I come in?"

A knock sounded at the door. Qiu Hougong hurriedly put down the walnuts he was playing with, then took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Xiaowu, come in."

creak.

The door opened, and Xiao Wu, wearing pink pajamas, walked in. "Brother Xiao Qiu... Oh? Sister Ling Yuan? When did you arrive?"

"I've been protecting you all in secret, Xiao Wu."

Ling Yuan said with a slight blush.

"I see. Then, Sister Lingyuan..."

Xiao Wu nodded, but before she could ask anything else, Qiu Hougong interrupted her, "Xiao Wu, why are you here so early today? It's not bedtime yet."

"I came here to tell you something, Brother Qiu."

Xiao Wu, whose attention had been drawn to Qiu Hou Gong, strode over to Qiu Hou Gong and sat down beside him.

"Oh? Something? What is it?"

Qiu Hougong inquired.

"Tomorrow we will enter the Star Dou Great Forest. Erming will sense my presence and come to pick me up."

Xiao Wu spoke up.

"Oh, so that's what it is."

Qiu Hougong suddenly realized that he already knew about Da Ming and Er Ming, as well as the cause of her parents' death, from Xiao Wu, which was why he didn't show any surprise now.

"Er Ming? Who's that?"

Ling Yuan asked in confusion, having never heard Xiao Wu mention it.

"Er Ming is one of Xiao Wu's two younger brothers, and he is a Titan Giant Ape with a lifespan of 100,000 years."

Qiu Hougong explained to Ling Yuan.

"Titan Giant Ape?! And a hundred thousand years old at that."

Hearing Qiu Hougong's words, Ling Yuan was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that Xiao Wu would be related to a Titan Ape that was 100,000 years old.

"Yes, Erming and I grew up together since we were little. Because he is younger than me, he became my younger brother."

Xiao Wu nodded in response. She knew how good the relationship was between Ling Yuan and Qiu Hou Gong, so it was fine to tell her this information.
