At the end of his words, Dugu Bo sighed softly, his voice filled with regret and sorrow.
This was the most basic and clumsy trick to sow discord.
If it were truly a child with the mind of a 10-year-old, they might genuinely fall for it.
But Tang San? He was a true reincarnator; with memories from two lives combined, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had the mind of a middle-aged man.
Before, upon hearing such a scheme, he would have merely scoffed and dismissed it as idle chatter.
However, at present, just as Dugu Bo had said, after truly witnessing the various absurd actions of Yu Xiaogang on the heavenly curtain,
His heart was clearly shaken.
He began to seriously consider the feasibility of Dugu Bo's words.
Whether or not to acknowledge Dugu Bo as his teacher could be set aside for now.
But he genuinely wanted to completely sever his Mentoring relationship with Yu Xiaogang.
Just as Dugu Bo had just said,
As a transmigrator with a heaven-defying cultivation technique like the Xuan Tian Bao Jian, he was destined to become a Titled Douluo or even a higher-level existence in the future.
Under such circumstances, taking the hypocritical and double-standard Yu Xiaogang, known to everyone on the continent, as his teacher, wasn't that just setting himself up for ridicule?
Tang San's goal was to live a life without blemish!
How could he tolerate Yu Xiaogang becoming his stain?
The more he thought about it, the more Tang San firmed his resolve to break free from Yu Xiaogang. However, in front of everyone today, he couldn't directly voice his thoughts.
Instead, he looked up and righteously reprimanded Dugu Bo,
"One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father!"
"Dugu Bo, what kind of person do you take me, Tang San, for?"
"Do you think I would abandon Yu Xiaogang just because of these reasons? Stop wasting your breath with your sweet words.
Even if you kill Yu Xiaogang today, I will not agree to your demands!"
Tang San truly is the direct disciple I chose and favored.
How about him? Yu Xiaogang's first reaction was naturally one of immense relief, but then he thought about it again and felt something was off.
If you, young man, want to stick to your principles and absolutely refuse to take him as your teacher, what does that have to do with me, Yu Xiaogang?
Why are you clamoring for Dugu Bo to kill me?
Is this kid genuinely trying to refuse Dugu Bo??
Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang, who had just been relieved, couldn't help but feel a few more doubts and bewilderment.
And he was only feeling doubt.
After hearing Tang San's words, Dugu Bo's face couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.
Understanding that Tang San was trying to incite him to be the villain,
His reaction was very decisive at this moment.
"Playing reverse psychology with me, are you? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on your teacher!? Then today, in front of you, I'll kill Yu Xiaogang, and we'll see if your mouth can still be as hard as it is now!"
After saying this,
He immediately reached out and attacked in the direction of Yu Xiaogang!
"Farting like thunder, Luo San Pao, shattering the heavens and splitting the earth!"
Seeing Poison Douluo Dugu Bo rushing towards him, Yu Xiaogang naturally cursed up a storm in his heart.
However, he also knew that further verbal disputes were useless at this point.
So this time, he immediately utilized the Martial Soul Fusion Technique to unleash Luo San Pao's original Spirit Ability.
A golden mist sprayed from Luo San Pao's dragon tail, condensing into a golden shield in the air and blasting forward.
However, before it could even get close to Dugu Bo,
A pale white light flashed over his head.
Following that, a shocking event occurred.
The originally ethereal energy actually solidified, transforming into a giant rock that crashed down from mid-air.
"This is a top-tier Spirit Bone that only the Empress of Serpents, Medusa, can produce!?"
Yu Xiaogang was greatly alarmed.
Seeing his reaction, Dugu Bo's face finally showed a hint of approval.
"Not bad, it seems you haven't just been plagiarizing Spirit knowledge all these years; you do have some understanding of basic common sense.
This Spirit Bone of mine comes from a 30,000-year-old Medusa Spirit Beast. Back then, I expended countless efforts to hunt it. Today, for a useless person like you, less than level 30, to die by its hand can be considered your honor."
After saying this,
He directly summoned his Spirit, the Jade Phosphor Serpent, and fiercely attacked in Luo San Pao's direction.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was already immense, and now Yu Xiaogang's mind was in disarray due to Dugu Bo's psychological attack.
With one side gaining and the other losing,
It was no exaggeration to say they were routed.
After that, the two sides had not even exchanged 10 moves when the already unstable Golden Triangle was completely shattered by Dugu Bo.
Flender and Liu Erlong both coughed up blood and fell to the ground.
Dugu Bo, on the other hand, didn't even spare them a glance.
He stepped forward and, as if lifting a small chicken, grabbed Yu Xiaogang from the ground.
With one hand clutching his neck, he then feigned asking Tang San beside him,
"How about it, Tang San, I ask you one more time, are you willing to take me as your teacher?"
Dugu Bo originally thought that after capturing Yu Xiaogang this time,
Tang San would feign weakness and humble himself.
However, he didn't expect Tang San to be far more ruthless than he had imagined.
Upon hearing his words this time, not only did Tang San show no sign of softening, but he instead shook his head decisively and replied firmly,
"Unwilling!"
"I, Tang San, am unyielding. How could I possibly bow down because of such a matter today?"
"If you want to kill, then kill. Why bother with so much nonsense?"
After saying this, he held his head high.
Like a martyr about to bravely face execution.
As if life and death were of no concern.
While he could view life and death lightly, Yu Xiaogang couldn't remain as calm as him.
After all, it was he who was currently being choked and on the verge of death.
Not Tang San.
Thinking this, and feeling the cold, jade-green poison slowly seeping into his body through Dugu Bo's palm,
Yu Xiaogang no longer had any so-called 'Grandmaster's' pride or principles.
He immediately spoke up, his neck stiff, saying,
"Stop! Stop! Show mercy!"
"Tang San is unwilling, but I am willing. I am willing to voluntarily dissolve our Mentoring relationship."
Dugu Bo was waiting for these very words.
Hearing him say this, he was naturally overjoyed.
He immediately released his right hand, which had been gripping Yu Xiaogang's neck.
Then he spoke, asking with great interest,
"Oh? You are willing to voluntarily dissolve the Mentoring relationship, Yu Xiaogang, are you serious about this?"
"Of course, it's true!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded solemnly, then immediately turned to Tang San and added, his words absolutely resolute,
"Tang San, from today onwards, I am no longer your teacher."
After all, while Immortal Herbs were good, nothing was as important as one's life.
Besides, a Master and Apprentice relationship wasn't something that could be severed just by saying so openly.
Saying this now was merely a temporary measure.
Yu Xiaogang thought, still holding a glimmer of hope.
Little did he know that when Tang San heard him say this, his heart was truly blooming with joy.
However, he was far more hypocritical than Yu Xiaogang. Even at this critical juncture, he still didn't take the easy way out and accept the matter directly.
Instead, he still wanted to maintain his good reputation, feigning sorrow and asking again,
"How could this be? One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, Grandmaster, I..."
A lifetime as a father, my ass.
I think you want to 'kill your father' instead.
Seeing his appearance, Yu Xiaogang also felt a surge of anger in his heart.
But he couldn't openly say anything, and instead had to feign a pained expression and cooperate.
"No, you also saw the content broadcast on the heavenly curtain. It is I, this old man, who is unworthy of the position and unfit to be your teacher. It has nothing to do with you."
"Go, go and acknowledge Senior Dugu Bo as your teacher. Only he can impart the Spirit knowledge you truly need and help you grow better."
