Chapter 273: Vigorous God, Grandpa Really Came (2)
"No way."
Xiao Wu and Oscar cried out in one voice.
Tang San and Tai Long's duel was after all only an internal conflict between two Academy students, even though Tai Long hadn't been lightly beaten, Tang San had still started off leniently, at least not causing him any permanent injury. After defeating Tai Nuo yesterday he had also immediately helped with detoxification. Even though Tai Nuo's loss wasn't small, it still wasn't a matter of deep hatred and great regret.
Tang San's heart twitched slightly, and he turned to Xiao Wu at his side:
"Xiao Wu, go find vice dean Zhao Wuji. Little Ao, let's go take a look."
Flender and Liu Erlong had both followed Grandmaster and Dai Mubai to hunt spirit beasts. With them gone, the Academy affairs would naturally fall on the vice dean from Shrek Academy, and also presently the strongest at the Academy, Motionless Bright King Zhao Wuji.
Even though a Spirit Master's strength wasn't necessarily proportional to their age, from Tai Long's family's inherited spirit Tang San guessed that Tai Long's grandfather very possibly was a power, possibly even surpassing the seventieth rank. He wouldn't stand any chance against a seventieth ranked opponent. This had to be settled by the teachers. At the same time Tang San also wanted to see just what Tai Long's family was up to. Could it really be that their actions were directed at him?
Xiao Wu left swiftly, while Tang San and Oscar left the dining hall in a crowd of students, quickly leaving together in the direction of the Academy gate. In the dining hall was a lot of students who still hadn't finished their breakfast but couldn't stand eating, thinking that watching the event was even more important.
Outside of the Shrek Academy gate, Tai Long and Tai Nuo stood to either side of an old man. This elder had grizzled hair and beard, the short hair standing out like steel needles at the top of his head. His stature appeared about the same as Vigorous King Tai Nuo, only his expression was even more abstruse. Standing there he gave people a kind of not angry but forceful impression. From the reverence in Tai Long and Tai Nuo's eyes as they looked at him, could be seen just what kind of position this old man had in their family.
"Grandpa, I beg of you, go back. If it goes on like this I really won't be able to show myself at the Academy."
Tai Long entreated his grandfather with a bitter smile.
That old man standing there between him and Tai Nuo was indeed his grandfather, Tai Tan. He was also the clan head.
Tai Tan held his hands behind his back, shooting a cold glance at his grandson,
"Shut up."
With just these two words he had completely forced down Tai Long.
Let alone Tai Long, even Tai Nuo didn't understand why this grandfather absolutely insisted on following them to Shrek Academy today. After returning yesterday Tai Nuo hadn't dared conceal anything and explained the whole matter. The result he had obtained was a slap to the face from grandfather Tai Tan and loss of face.
At first light this morning, Tai Long and Tai Nuo had both prepared to sleep a while since their injuries hadn't fully recovered, but had been dragged up by grandfather and directly brought to the Academy. Grandfather hadn't told them what he was up to, but even Tai Nuo could only keep quiet in front of his overbearing manner.
Tai Nuo understood very clearly that this father of his wasn't someone with a good temper, that nature of shielding one's mistakes was even more difficult to deal with than his own. It was very possible he would do something impulsive. Originally, if it weren't for this, then his clan wouldn't have... Thinking of this, Tai Nuo couldn't help secretly sighing, in his heart praying that father wouldn't be too rash. After all, that Tang San was only a teenaged child. Father wouldn't be too serious with him.
Right then was when Tang San and Oscar walked out from the Academy in a crowd of other students.
The moment Tang San first saw grandfather Tai Tan, he couldn't keep his heart from contracting. Purple Demon Eye upgrading to the mustard seed level allowed him to see not only what was on the surface, in one glance he could see that this grandfather was perhaps even more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. Even though he was alone, standing there he resembled a towering mountain, immovable.
"Who is Tang San?"
Tai Tan asked indifferently. Even though his voice was somewhat aged, it still gave people a kind of sonorous feeling. That wording brimming with force seemed to make even the air in the surroundings vibrate.
"I am."
Tang San unhurriedly stepped forward, at the same time pushing the spirit power within his body to its peak condition, prepared to adapt to any situation.
"Yesterday it was you who injured my son and grandson?"
Tai Tan asked indifferently.
Tang San nodded once,
"Yes."
He didn't want to explain more. From his point of view, when such a formidable Spirit Master as this came to look for him over such a matter, his explanations wouldn't hold any significance.
"Good."
A light suddenly flashed in Tai Tan's eyes, and an incomparably forceful feeling abruptly erupted from his body. Tai Nuo and Tai Long standing at his side couldn't endure and were both simultaneously pushed back four or five steps before they could stand steady. Including Tang San and Oscar, all the Shrek Academy students collectively recoiled a step. The atmosphere became thick like liquid in this instant.
"You injuring my son and grandson is all because of their lack of skill. But my One Strength Clan isn't so incompetent. As the big I wouldn't take advantage of the small, so how about we make a bet?"
Tai Tan said calmly.
Tang San looked straight at the counterpart,
"What bet?"
Tai Tan casually waved his hand, and a stick of incense flew out from his sleeve, flying ten meters straight like an arrow to nail into the not distant Academy gate, the stick of incense simultaneously igniting.
Seeing this scene, the Shrek students couldn't help simultaneously cry out in alarm, even Oscar couldn't keep from cursing inwardly, 'Fuck me.'
The Academy gate was actually cast from pure iron, how much more frail was a stick of incense? Relying only on strength throwing a stick of incense more than ten meters to pierce the gate, without any damage to the stick of incense, what kind of strength was this?
Tang San saw even more than others. The reason that stick of incense ignited wasn't because it had been lit in advance, but because it had travelled too fast and ignited from the friction with the air, but only his Purple Demon Eye was keen enough to catch this minute detail.
"I won't attack, I also won't release my spirit. As long as you can endure the pressure I release until this stick of incense has burnt out, it will be your win. I'll have Tai Nuo and Tai Long kowtow to you in apology. If not, I want you to become a member of our One Strength Clan."
"This isn't fair."
Before Tang San could speak up, Oscar hurried to talk. He knew Tang San's character was even more resolute than Dai Mubai, if by any chance he agreed, he would be unable to take it back. Glaring at Tai Tan he said:
"If you lose, your son and grandson only have to kowtow in apology. Even though they'll lose a bit of face, it's still no great loss to them. But if little San loses he will have to join your clan, bound for a lifetime. How is this fair?"
Oscar deliberately lowered the pace of his speech so that the stick of incense on the gate could burn a bit more. In petty cleverness, even Tang San couldn't compare to him.
Tai Tan calmly said:
"Then how do you think it should be done?"
His words weren't directed at Oscar, but rather directly asked Tang San.
Oscar hastily interfered:
"Very simple. If you lose, you'll have them join Tang San's clan."
"Oh? You also have a clan?"
Tai Tan looked at Tang San, his eyes revealing a trace of doubt.
This time, Tang San spoke up himself,
"I do, my clan is called Tang Sect."
Tang Sect? Tai Tan searched his brain for a moment, but didn't have any memory of such a school. let alone a formidable one. Immediately he believed that this was just a small unremarkable little school. He immediately nodded without hesitation, saying:
"Fine. It's agreed. If I lose my son and grandson will join your Tang Sect. If you are unable to endure, you need only withdraw beyond a twenty meter range from me or fall to the ground. I will withdraw my force."
Oscar's eyes displayed a cunning light, quietly placing a recovery sausage in Tang San's hand, then quickly withdrew. He was very clear about Tang San's resistance, originally at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy he had withstood a Spirit Douluo's pressure for a very long time, not just that of a stick of incense. This old fogey also couldn't be a Title Douluo. Even if he also was a Spirit Douluo, Tang San could absolutely stand it. Besides, he still had his recovery sausage."
"Work hard little San, getting two slaves isn't bad."
As the person involved, Tang San didn't have Oscar's light mood. Even though he had once at the thirty third rank endured the powerful pressure a spirit Douluo could produce, and furthermore at this opportunity broken open his Penetrating Meridian, he was certain that the pressure this old man would give him would only be even greater. Because, he was also a Spirit Douluo. At that time Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin of the Heaven Dou Imperial academy had been a control system Spirit Master, and hadn't had such potent spirit power. But Tai Tan's whole family was pure strength type Spirit Masters, the pressure he could produce couldn't be mentioned in the same breath.
Tai Tan didn't seem to care a whit about the stick of incense burning a bit during their previous discussion. After once again indicating that Tang San should be careful, the surroundings began to change.
The students standing around watching the fight could all see the air between Tang San and Tai Tan distort, rippling like a water surface, but nothing could be felt. But in that instant Tang San's expression suddenly changed, completely withdrawing a step. At the same time he immediately released his spirit.
If speaking of the pressure Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin gave him as an endless large river, then the pressure this Tai Tan gave him was more like raging waves and swelling seas. Violently surging berserk oppressive force filling every part of Tang San's body in an instant, Tang San could even hear his bones start to make slight noises under the pressure.
