"Dean Erlong, Teacher, what happened to Third Brother?" Ma Hongjun saw Tang San being carried into the academy and hurried over to ask.

"Hey~ Hongjun, go get some rest first. We'll talk tomorrow if anything."

Remembering Tang San's instructions, Flanders couldn't let anyone know about the magical grass. Besides, they had alerted Dugu Bo this time, and he wouldn't be able to go there again.

Moreover, if Ma Hongjun didn't get the magical grass's effects, he would be devastated.

Just as Tang San was carried back to the hut, Xiao Wu rushed in. "Dean, I heard from my classmates that Third Brother and Master are injured. What happened?"

Seeing the state of Flender and the others, Xiao Wu asked in surprise, "Dean, how did you get injured too?"

"Xiao Wu, we're fine. Xiao Gang and Xiao San, just rest for a while and you'll be fine."

After a pause, Flender said, "Hong Jun, go get Teacher Shao Xin, and also get all the healing teachers from the academy."

Soon after, everyone from Shrek arrived at the hut upon hearing the news.

After being treated by the healing spirit masters, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were finally unharmed.

"Dean, what were you all doing? Why are you all injured?" Shao Xin asked, puzzled.

None of the four of them had reached the level to obtain spirit rings, yet they had rushed back from Sunset Forest exhausted. What had happened in between?

"Dean, who exactly hurt Third Brother and Master? When I get back, I'll have Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone settle the score with him," Ning Rongrong said angrily.

"Nothing, just an attack, but we've eliminated the enemy." With that, Flanders waved his hand, dismissing the group.

Tang San had been severely injured while under their protection. If Tang Hao learned of this, Flanders would be in dire straits. After all, the Haotian Sect was notorious for protecting its own people.

"Erlong, you should go back and rest too. I'm here for you."

"Okay, Boss F, keep me informed if anything happens."

...

Late at night.

Tang Hao had planned to return to Holy Spirit Village for a while, but as he was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that Tang San had been severely injured.

Furious, he rushed into the hut and grabbed Flanders.

"Flanders, is this how you take care of Xiao San?" Tang Hao shouted.

He had originally planned to settle the score with Yu Xiaogang. However, Yu Xiaogang was still unconscious, so he had no choice but to turn his attention to Flanders.

Looking at the spirit ring at Tang Hao's feet, Flanders quickly recognized his identity.

"Your Majesty, this incident happened for a reason. Let me explain."

Under normal circumstances, Tang Hao would have killed someone long ago, but Flanders was Tang San's teacher after all, so he decided to hear his side of the story first.

Flanders, as if granted amnesty, quickly recounted the entire incident.

"Hmph, Dugu Bo, a mere weakest Titled Douluo, yet you're seeking death!" Tang Hao's eyes blazed with vengeance.

Flanders quickly grabbed him, "Your Majesty, Xiao San misses you dearly. Why don't you stay and wait for Xiao San to wake up before leaving? Besides, Xiao San is the only one who knows about the immortal grass."

Tang Hao reconsidered and agreed.

In his eyes, Dugu Bo was a dead man, and the mountain he occupied naturally belonged to him, Tang Hao.

As for the immortal grass, it naturally belonged to the Tang family.

"Flanders, don't let too many people know of my existence," Tang Hao instructed.

Flanders, understanding Tang Hao's intention, immediately blocked the road to the cabin.

…

In the wee hours of the morning, Tang San slowly opened his eyes.

"Baba, is it really you?" Tang San rubbed his eyes, a little incredulous.

"It's me, Xiaosan. You've done very well these years," Tang Hao said softly.

Then, with his support, Tang San finally sat up straight.

"Don't worry, Xiaosan. That old bastard Dugu Bo dared to injure you. Baba will avenge you," Tang Hao said with domineering confidence.

Tang San frowned. He didn't know Tang Hao's strength.

If he wasn't good enough, wouldn't he be asking for death?

"Baba, I don't need you to avenge me. When I cultivate to the level of a Titled Douluo, I will do it myself," Tang San said seriously.

"Haha, Xiaosan, your Baba's strength is superior to Dugu Bo's, don't worry," Flender added with a smile.

Tang Hao smiled, "That's right, Xiaosan. Dugu Bo is no match for me."

"Baba, you're a Titled Douluo?" Tang San's eyes widened, momentarily struggling to accept it.

This situation is like an ordinary person who suddenly finds out one day that his father is a hidden billionaire.

Tang Hao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao San, Ba Ba didn't mean to hide it from you. This matter is a bit complicated. When you are strong enough, Ba Ba will tell you all about it."

"Xiao San, practice with peace of mind. What you need to do next is to get a good ranking in the Soul Master Competition."

Hearing this, Tang San said solemnly, "Ba Ba, I understand. I will definitely practice hard."

Tang Hao smiled heartily, "Okay, this is my Tang Hao's good son. By the way, Xiao San, I heard from Dean Flanders that you are looking for some magical grass. What exactly is it?"

"Ba Ba, the magical grass is similar in appearance to some high-level herbs, but the effect is completely different."

At the end, Tang San sighed, "It's a pity that Dugu Bo has occupied that place. I can't be sure if there is any magical grass in it."

"Xiao San, Ba Ba will go there in person later. Tell Ba Ba some details about the magical grass. If there is, Ba Ba will bring it back to you."

"No, Ba Ba. Some magical herbs are extremely poisonous. I want to go with you."

"Absolutely not! I won't be able to take care of you during the battle with Dugu Bo. Xiaosan, you absolutely cannot go."

Flender interrupted, "Xiaosan, Dugu Bo is treacherous and cunning. If you're there, you'll probably drag your father down."

Finally, after Flender's persuasion, Tang San gave up the idea of going in person.

Tang Hao suggested, "Since the immortal grass is so precious, let's do this. I'll first seek revenge on Dugu Bo, then enter the valley to investigate. If there's indeed an immortal grass, Xiaosan, I'll take you there."

The immortal grass contains healing herbs, which is what Tang Hao needs most. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken such great care.

"Your Majesty, do you need my help? Dugu Bo is treacherous and cunning, after all. I'm worried he'll set an ambush!" Flender volunteered.

Tang Hao looked down on him and said, "He's just a worthless Titled Douluo. There's no need to make such a fuss. Even if there's an ambush, so what?"

Domineering, domineering!

Tang San exclaimed excitedly.

Because his father was a blacksmith, he often couldn't hold his head up. Now that he knew his father's identity, Tang San felt more confident.

After all, the status of a Titled Douluo is equal to that of the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.
