Tang San had already learned the truth about Yu Xiaogang's teachings through various channels. First, there was Nangong Lingyun's "accidental" revelation, followed by the detection results from Flying Immortal City, and then his father's own confession.
Furthermore, as he followed the path Yu Xiaogang had laid out, his spirit abilities became weaker and weaker. His soul skills were also terribly lacking.
Forget about fighting Nangong Lingyun; he couldn't even beat Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun without using hidden weapons.
He had long realized that Yu Xiaogang was a complete fraud, albeit one who was good at putting on airs and deceiving others.
The so-called ten core competitive advantages, from the limit of soul rings to the direction of soul master development, and even his most vaunted spirit avatar theory, along with basic knowledge like spirit classification, all contained problems.
But he never expected that it was intentional.
Outwardly, he feigned concern, acting as if he cared for and cherished him.
Yet, when faced with a situation, he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice his disciples' futures.
Doing something with good intentions that resulted in a bad outcome was completely different from doing something knowingly malicious.
This filled Tang San with rage, making him want to rush to the dean's office immediately and chop him into eight pieces.
But he was no longer a three-year-old. He knew that even if he used all his methods, he couldn't defeat a powerful Soul Saint. Even though he was furious, he could only pretend not to know for the time being.
After Nangong Lingyun had instantly defeated several teachers working together,
Flender was worried that the academy's prestige would be damaged, especially in front of them, the students.
Therefore, he found an excuse to severely punish them.
Without using any skills, he easily crushed the four with just his martial soul and soul power, with no suspense.
That incredible speed still made him shudder.
Tang San gritted his teeth, swallowed the blood along with it, and forcibly controlled himself, staying put to continue eavesdropping on the conversation between the teacher and the dean.
Very quickly, Yu Xiaogang's curses towards Tang Hao entered his ears, every word of it.
That deep, almost palpable, venom and hatred was also vividly displayed before his eyes.
Cold and detached as Tang San was, he naturally ignored the fact that his father had been the one to chop off the other party's legs first.
He instantly connected his own experiences with the venomous look on Yu Xiaogang's face, believing that it was highly likely he was deliberately setting him up to get back at his father.
He was so enraged that his whole body was trembling.
He swore viciously in his heart:
"You dare to scheme against me like this, Yu Xiaogang, you are not fit to be a teacher. You have already brought death upon yourself."
"If I don't kill you, I'm not a man."
In the dean's office,
After Yu Xiaogang finished his rant, the conversation between the two quickly turned "normal."
Basically, Flender asked his old friend to help train the students, from their bodies to their minds, ensuring the four were completely devoted to Shrek Academy, obedient, and turned into puppets.
Only in this way could the academy develop and grow, and they could become famous throughout the world and gain immense benefits, and so on.
This instantly caused the anger that Tang San had just barely suppressed to surge again, almost exploding.
He was always the one taking advantage of others, never the other way around.
To actually treat the students as tools for making money…
This Flender, he also has a path to death.
Tang San was eavesdropping on the two's explosive conversation.
It had just ended when he suddenly felt a burning gaze fall upon him.
After Nangong Lingyun's special enhancement and slight modification, Tang Hao's gaze and mental focus had become incredibly clear, with a clear hint of greed. The sensation was like a needle to the back, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Being stared at with this kind of look,
in an instant, Tang San was greatly shocked.
"Dad?"
"Why is Dad secretly looking at me?"
"And his eyes are so covetous?"
"What's so interesting about forging iron?"
"Could it be..."
"No, impossible, absolutely impossible. He's my own father."
After a moment of shock and suspicion, Tang San's hands and feet turned cold, and the hairs on his back stood on end as he considered a certain possibility.
His teacher was trying to trick him, the academy was trying to control him...
If even his own father was coveting something from him, then who could he trust?
Especially since his father was a Title Douluo, a powerful Title Douluo rumored to be able to kill even the Spirit Hall Pope...
How could he possibly fight back?
The fear in his heart made Tang San instinctively reject that outrageous thought.
But it was also the extreme fear in his heart that...
He forced himself to suppress his expression, refraining from any unusual movements. He appeared as though he was simply lost in thought.
He no longer dared to reveal his true emotions, instinctively starting to guard against his own father.
After two seconds, Tang San took a deep breath, pretending nothing was wrong, and continued forging.
During the process, he frequently changed projects or paused for rest.
Through these deliberate tests, he soon discovered that Tang Hao was indeed secretly studying the hidden weapons.
Whenever he rested, Tang Hao's mental strength would significantly decline, and that covetous feeling would disappear, only maintaining a minimal level of attention.
However, when forging parts, and especially when assembling the finished product, the exact opposite was true. The intensity of his gaze was simply terrifying.
In order to prevent the most confidential parts of the Zhuge Godly Crossbow from being leaked,
Tang San deliberately made his hand slip, causing the finished product to fail assembly. Numerous springs suddenly exploded, scattering the parts everywhere.
After gathering everything back into his soul tool,
he feigned exhaustion and returned to his dormitory, lying down on the bed to rest.
Sensing the disappearance of the gaze of his so-called "father,"
Tang San felt a wave of sorrow wash over him.
He curled up in the blankets, his body trembling slightly. Tears streamed down his cheeks, and he bit down so hard on his lip that the muscles in his face strained.
What exactly had he done wrong? Why did his classmate (Nangong Lingyun) bully him, his teachers scheme against him, and the academy try to control him? Now, even his own biological father, the one who should have been his strong support and warm haven, was secretly eyeing him? Why? Why was all of this happening? Especially when he thought back to his childhood, before the age of three, he would be hungry one minute and full the next. At three, he was forced to cook for himself, and all he had was plain congee.
It made him grind his teeth in hatred.
Shouldn't parents give their children the most love and the best of everything unconditionally? How could Tang Hao be such a father? Five or six minutes passed before Tang San gradually calmed down. He reached out and touched the golden feather on his chest,
and secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, I still have the Flying Immortal Order, and a mysterious deity is supporting me.
Otherwise, facing a Title Douluo, I wouldn't even know how I died."
"As a father, it's fine if he doesn't fulfill his duty to love his child, but he's actually scheming to get my hidden weapons,
"Tang Hao, you also have a path to death."
