Chapter 56: Master's Apprentice Niu Dagang Devoured Oscar's Sausage, While the Rogue Rabbit Xiao Wu Ran Off
With Tang Hao's Titled Douluo spiritual power, he naturally heard what Tang San had just said to the old man who was registering.
This caused Tang Hao to harbor a trace of doubt. He felt that based on his understanding of Tang San over the years, this child wouldn't be so obedient unless he had a teacher whom Tang San deeply respected.
But after much thought, Tang Hao still couldn't guess who Tang San had chosen as his master. In any case, he couldn't believe it was his arch-enemy, the Pope Bibi Dong, because he simply didn't think in that direction.
"Could it be the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's leader? Ning Fengzhi…"
After a moment's reflection, Tang Hao felt that this person seemed the most likely. Since Tang San's Blue Silver Grass in this life was developing towards the support element, it was very likely that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's leader would have taken a fancy to him.
"Supportive spirits are extremely difficult to cultivate. Ning Fengzhi, the seventy-ninth-level leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, is the most powerful support spirit master on the continent. This explains Xiao San's reverence for his teacher…"
This was exactly what Tang Hao was thinking, but it was clear that he had been completely mistaken.
Seeing that Tang San and Xiao Wu had already arrived at the second stage of the assessment, Tang Hao disappeared behind the tree, reappearing in another secluded area where he could see Tang San and Xiao Wu.
At the entrance of Shrek Academy Village, after the last applicant had been assessed, the lean old man was about to put away his desk when he heard a loud roar from nearby.
"Wait… I'm here! I'm Niu Dagang…"
The old man looked up and saw a 1.7-meter-tall, chubby man with a flat head, weighing a full 180 kilograms, running towards them at a rapid speed. He ran like a fat pig, the fat on his face trembling.
By the time he reached the old man's desk, the chubby man was panting and incoherent.
"Teacher… I… I want to register. I want to enroll at Shrek Academy."
"You're over thirteen, you don't meet the requirements…"
The old man took one look at the chubby face of the crew-cut man and coldly rejected him.
The crew-cut man straightened his back and said,
"I'm not over thirteen. I, Niu Dagang, am exactly twelve this year."
"You… are twelve?"
His old eyes stared at the crew-cut man, who weighed over 180 pounds, in shock. Even the old Soul Emperor was starting to doubt his life.
Then the old Soul Emperor reached out and pinched the crew-cut man's hand, his face suddenly filled with astonishment.
"You're really not over thirteen… What's your martial spirit? Let me see…"
"Yes, teacher…"
The crew-cut man nodded, and then two yellow spirit rings appeared on his body, and a ball of yellow blue silver grass appeared in his hand.
Indeed, blue silver grass imbued with different spirit rings naturally takes on different forms. The blue silver grass in the crew-cut man's hand was a vibrant yellow, like a yellow snake coiling in his hand.
Of course, it didn't just resemble a snake, it also looked a bit like a fang.
In short, this color of blue silver grass naturally suited the temperament of this plump, crew-cut man.
"Your martial spirit is also blue silver grass…"
The old Soul Emperor asked, slightly surprised.
"What's your soul power level?"
The plump, crew-cut man replied bluntly.
"My soul power is currently level 24, teacher…"
"Level 24…"
The old Soul Emperor thought for a moment, then waved his hand.
"Alright, then, you've passed the first stage… Mubai, come out and meet them."
The first stage didn't require soul power to be above level 25; it primarily depended on age and optimal spirit ring configuration.
Dai Mubai, shamelessly following Zhu Zhuqing around, explaining the events of the previous day, heard the old Soul Emperor's voice and hurriedly left, approaching the door and ushering the plump, crew-cut man in.
Dai Mubai had initially been reluctant to acknowledge the plump, crew-cut man, but unexpectedly, he slapped him on the shoulder and spoke confidently.
"My name is Niu Dagang, and my teacher is Yu Xiaogang. Please take care of me, senior…"
Dai Mubai almost stumbled, wondering who the hell Yu Xiaogang was.
He was a person who judged people by appearances, and seeing that this guy was a bit dull, he didn't bother to talk to him. But now that Niu Dagang had taken the initiative, he had no choice but to respond politely.
"Of course, my name is Dai Mubai, nicknamed the Evil-Eyed White Tiger. From now on, if you have any problems in this academy, you can come to me…"
Tang San and Xiao Wu had already reached the registration area for the second round, and just happened to see a young man with a scruffy beard pushing a sausage cart, selling his sausages to the boys and girls taking the second round of the exam nearby.
"Juniors, come over here quickly, Oscar brand sausages, honest to everyone… Take a bite, and you're guaranteed to pass the exam."
Who was this person? It was Oscar, of course. To Tang San, the unshaved Oscar looked a bit too old. He should have had a full beard, his thick black mustache nearly covering half his face.
Seeing some of the students already gathered around, Xiao Wu raised her hand and said,
"Brother San, are you hungry? How about we each have a sausage? I'll go buy you one…"
As Xiao Wu prepared to buy the sausage for Tang San, Tang San quickly grabbed her hand. Just as he was about to speak, a fat, crew-cut man came running over, shouting,
"I want sausages, Senior! I, Niu Dagang, want the biggest sausage."
The appearance of the fat, crew-cut man caught the attention of Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and many others nearby.
"Holy crap! What's wrong with this guy…"
Tang San was startled by Niu Dagang's round crew cut and mugger-like face.
This guy with the flat head and the green-eyed face was an exact replica of the loser Yu Xiaogang.
He was a completely smaller, fatter version of the loser Yu Xiaogang.
And his name was Niu Dagang—what a unique name.
Not only Tang San, but also Xiao Wu, standing nearby, recognized him. Her mouth dropped open as she trembled.
"Third Brother, why does this guy look so much like Yu Xiaogang, that disgusting old man we beat up back at Notting Academy? Could he be his son?"
"Possibly. You heard what he said just now. His name is Niu Dagang…"
Watching the fat guy with the flat head buying sausages, Tang San couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, a big Gang, a small Gang, but how can such an idiot get into this academy? It seems this academy isn't that great after all!"
Xiao Wu laughed along, clapping her hands happily.

Tang San nodded and whispered.
"Of course, this academy isn't great. So, Xiao Wu, remember, you must cooperate with me here when necessary. My teacher will come personally to help us deal with those pretentious individuals in the academy, like that disgusting Dai Mubai, and the others."
"Well… don't worry, Third Brother. No matter where I am, I will always obey you."
Xiao Wu obediently took Tang San's arm. She naturally guessed that Tang San had a purpose for enrolling in this academy, but she didn't care, because she wanted to help him.
But then, Xiao Wu seemed to remember something. She glanced at Tang San's face and asked.
"By the way, Third Brother, when did you become his disciple? How come Xiao Wu didn't know? Your teacher is very powerful…"
"Four years ago, when I was practicing blacksmithing in Tiandou City…"
Tang San didn't hide this fact, and then he continued mysteriously.
"Actually, as for who our teacher is, I'm not sure… but she must be very powerful…"
Xiao Wu nodded happily without giving it much thought.
"…Then she must have taken a fancy to your unique auxiliary talent, Third Brother. If your spirit skills can be consistently utilized in the future, they will surely be extremely powerful. Well, when we meet your teacher in the future, Xiao Wu will definitely thank her."
"Uh, well, let's talk about this later."
Tang San panicked for a moment and quickly dealt with it casually, thinking that this rogue rabbit really was not afraid of death.
"Okay, junior, this is the biggest sausage I've ever made, Oscar. No charge, I'm giving it to you."
Seeing how much the flat-headed fat man liked his sausage, Oscar was also very generous and gave the largest sausage to Niu Dagang.
Niu Dagang took it and bit off half of it in one fierce bite, then put it in his mouth and began to chew it noisily.
Dai Mubai, who was behind him, wanted to warn the flat-headed fat man, but seeing his dull expression, he thought better of it. He was already in a bad mood recently and didn't bother to care about such things.
So, the flat-headed fat man Niu Dagang finished the sausage in less than ten seconds, and then his face suddenly flushed red.
Seeing Niu Dagang's frustrated face, Tang San suddenly realized something and quickly dragged Xiao Wu away.
Oscar, the sausage vendor, also ran off with his sausage cart like a thief, leaving Dai Mubai alone, preoccupied with his affairs with Zhu Zhuqing. Before he could react, he heard a loud bang.
Niu Dagang, the fat guy with a flat head, actually let out a fart as loud and smelly as Luo Sanpao's, which exploded right where he was standing.
...
The noxious cloud spread quickly, causing the nearby students to scatter in panic, covering their noses and coughing. Zhu Zhuqing's cold expression faltered for a moment as she instinctively stepped back, her eyes narrowing in disgust. Even Dai Mubai, who was still trying to maintain his composure, couldn't help but gag, his face turning green as he stumbled away from the epicenter.
"What the hell…!" Dai Mubai muttered, his voice muffled by his hand covering his mouth. "This guy's worse than a spirit beast!"
Niu Dagang, oblivious to the chaos he'd caused, stood there scratching his head, his face still flushed from the sausage's effects. "Uh… Senior, was that supposed to happen?" he called after Oscar, who was already halfway across the clearing, pushing his cart at top speed.
Tang San, pulling Xiao Wu to a safer distance, couldn't suppress a chuckle. "This guy… he's definitely Yu Xiaogang's apprentice. Only someone under that loser's guidance would make such a spectacle."
Xiao Wu, still giggling, fanned the air in front of her face. "Third Brother, did you see Dai Mubai's face? He looked like he was going to puke! This is too good!"
Tang San's eyes gleamed with mischief. "Let's keep moving. The second stage is about to start, and I want to see how this plays out. With Niu Dagang here, things are bound to get even more chaotic."
As they moved toward the second stage of the exam, Tang San's thoughts drifted back to his father, Tang Hao, lurking nearby. He knew Tang Hao was watching, likely trying to piece together the puzzle of Tang San's mysterious teacher. The thought of his father mistakenly assuming Ning Fengzhi was his mentor amused Tang San, but it also reminded him to stay cautious. Tang Hao's presence meant he had to be careful not to reveal too much about his connection to Bibi Dong or his true plans.
At the same time, Hu Liena was now dangerously close to the village. Her fox-like senses picked up the commotion caused by Niu Dagang's… explosive display. She wrinkled her nose, pausing briefly to assess the situation.
"What in the world was that?" she muttered, her golden robe fluttering as she crouched behind a tree. Her sharp eyes scanned the area, locking onto Tang San's figure in the distance. "Little brother, you're surrounded by some interesting characters. This place is a mess."
Hu Liena's gaze then shifted to the faint but oppressive aura of Tang Hao, still lingering in the woods. She knew she had to tread carefully. Confronting a Titled Douluo like Tang Hao was out of the question, but she was confident in her ability to outmaneuver him if needed. Her mission was clear: convince Tang San to return to Spirit Hall, and she wasn't about to let anyone—not even a Clear Sky Douluo—stand in her way.
Back at the second stage, the remaining applicants were gathering for the next test. Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong stood among them, each with their own thoughts. Zhu Zhuqing's icy demeanor hid her inner turmoil, while Ning Rongrong's haughty expression masked her curiosity about the academy. Xiao Wu, meanwhile, was practically bouncing with excitement, eager to see what trouble they could stir up next.
Tang San, standing slightly apart, kept his senses sharp. He could feel the weight of multiple powerful presences converging—his father, Hu Liena, and the potential arrival of Yu Xiaogang or his influence through Niu Dagang. The second stage of the exam was about to begin, and Tang San knew it would be a perfect opportunity to observe his rivals and allies alike.
As the examiner for the second stage, a stern-looking woman with sharp features, called out for the candidates to prepare, Tang San whispered to Xiao Wu, "Stay close and keep an eye on Dai Mubai. He's still plotting something, and we need to be ready."
Xiao Wu nodded, her bunny ears twitching with determination. "Don't worry, Third Brother. If that yellow-haired dog tries anything, I'll give him another kick he won't forget!"
Tang San smirked, his mind already racing with strategies. With Hu Liena's arrival imminent, Tang Hao watching from the shadows, and the chaotic presence of Niu Dagang, Shrek Academy was about to become a battlefield of wits and power. And Tang San was ready to play his part.
