Douluo protects our spirit hall

Chapter 772: Weaker Than Them

"I'm sorry, I-I didn't expect it to fall and they discovered my identity."

Listening to the conversation between Tang Hao and Tang San, Xiao Wu, who was clutching the blue and silver hairpin tightly, was filled with shame. Perhaps it was because of the uneasiness in her heart, or perhaps she was too frightened, and she was about to cry.

Seeing the mist in Xiao Wu's pink eyes, Tang San's heart softened immediately, and he hurried forward to hug her and comfort her:
"It's okay, Xiao Wu, this is not your fault, don't blame yourself."

"It's just that your soul beast identity has been exposed. It's no big deal. With your father here, he will definitely protect you."

"Do not worry."

Tang San finally calmed Xiao Wu down after much persuasion, making the rogue rabbit feel a little relieved.

Being tightly hugged by Tang San, Xiao Wu leaned on his arms and cried softly for a while. Then she raised her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded gently towards Tang San, and said "hmm".

This scene made Tang Hao, who was standing next to him, feel a pang of pain in his liver. It seemed that Tang San was being completely taken advantage of by Xiao Wu.

However, Tang Hao did not say much about it. Instead, he seemed to let it go. There was just a gleam in his eyes, and his expression seemed weird and inexplicable.

When talking about her identity, Xiao Wu sniffed and admitted that she had an irreconcilable feud with Bibi Dong, Ju Douluo, and Ghost Douluo.

He also recounted in detail to Tang Hao and Tang San, father and son, how the three men had hunted down himself and his mother Arou.

"So Xiao Wu's life story is so rough?"

After listening to Xiao Wu's narration, Tang San was shocked, as if he felt the same way, and gnashed his teeth fiercely:

"Damn Bibi Dong, damn Spirit Hall, and those two Title Douluo, how dare they be so rebellious that they not only hunted Xiao Wu, but also brutally murdered Xiao Wu's mother?"

"Sure enough, the Spirit Hall is an evil force and should not exist in this world."

"Come to think of it, my mother, Yin, was also harmed by the Spirit Hall."

"Haha, Spirit Hall. Very good. I'll remember this. I'll settle these two accounts with you sooner or later!"

Then, he looked at Xiao Wu and solemnly assured:

"Xiao Wu, don't worry."

"Your enemies are my enemies. I will face them with you. I will seek justice for my aunt in the future and will not let them go!"

Listening to Tang San's words, Xiao Wu suddenly felt warmed to the core, her eyes full of emotion, and even her gaze towards Tang San became blurred:

"Third brother, thank you, it's great to have you"

Warm breath hit his face. Tang San looked into Xiao Wu's pink eyes, feeling the softness of her body in his arms. He couldn't help but feel hot in his heart:

"Xiao Wu."

At this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded. It was Tang Hao who interrupted them:
"Okay, you two are almost done. Now is not the time to be affectionate. You should think about how to get through this crisis."

Upon hearing this, Tang San and Xiao Wu's faces turned red at the same time, and they quickly broke away from each other's arms and distanced themselves.

Xiao Wu suppressed her embarrassment, mustered up her courage, and pleaded with Tang Hao:
"Uncle, can you take me and my third brother away? I don't want to stay here anymore. Wuhun City is so dangerous. Those people will definitely not let me go."

Tang San also looked up at his father.

It was just that because of the tattered black robe brim blocking his view, he could not see Tang Hao's expression clearly, let alone what the latter was thinking.

According to Tang San’s inner thoughts, they are actually the same as Xiao Wu’s.

With Xiao Wu's identity as a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast being exposed, Wuhun City at this moment is undoubtedly a dangerous place for them, and crisis may come at any time.

It’s better to leave here early.

Anyway, the Shrek Seven Devils have already lost the game, and their journey to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition has ended here. Even if they leave secretly, it will not affect anything.

Leaving here early will only bring benefits and no harm.

Soon, Tang San and Xiao Wu got Tang Hao's answer, but this answer was not a good one.

Tang Hao shook his head slowly, and directly rejected Xiao Wu's request:

"No, you can't leave now."

When Xiao Wu heard this, the expectation on her face froze for a moment, and then turned into disappointment.

Tang San was also stunned, but quickly came to his senses, looked at his father, and asked with a bit of confusion in his tone:
"Father, why is this?"

Looking at the disappointment and confusion on the two people's faces, Tang Hao sighed and explained slowly:

"Wuhun City is a city of soul masters and the headquarters of the Wuhun Hall. It is already heavily guarded. Now that Xiao Wu has happened, the security will probably be even stricter. It will not be easy to leave the city."

"If it's just me, I can come and go freely if I try my best to cover it up, but if I want to bring you two with me, it won't be that easy."

“The risk of exposure will increase significantly”

Having said this, Tang Hao paused for a moment, glanced at the two people who were looking shocked, and then continued:
"Don't underestimate the Spirit Hall."

"The strength it has shown is not as simple as you think. There is no telling how many combat powers there are above the Title Douluo level. It is definitely not what you see. There are only three of them: Bibi Dong, Ju Douluo, and Ghost Douluo."

"Also, don't underestimate the Titled Douluo."

"Those who are at the Title Douluo level above level 90 can already use their mental power to achieve the state of being instantly perceived. Their perception is extremely sharp, and low-level spirit masters have almost no place to hide from them."

"Just like you two, even with my help to cover up your figures and aura, it is still difficult to hide from their eyes."

"If a Titled Douluo's spiritual power sweeps over you during your escape, you will definitely be exposed."

"This..." After hearing Tang Hao's words, Xiao Wu felt a chill in her heart and was filled with fear. Tang San also frowned, but he was still relatively calm and asked again:
"Father, is there no other way?"

Tang Hao did not answer immediately. He stood there without saying anything, as if he was considering something.

After a moment, he broke the silence and suddenly smiled:
"Of course there is a way, but it will be more dangerous."

Tang San and Xiao Wu's eyes lit up and they asked in unison:

"any solution?"

"You will know tomorrow. I came here just to give you a reminder."

Tang Hao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, but he did not clearly state what the solution was. He turned to look at the two of them and instructed:

"Okay, you guys should get some rest tonight. Don't do anything unnecessary, or you won't have the energy to escape later."

Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other, both confused. However, Tang Hao was unwilling to speak out, and the two of them could not continue to ask, so they could only nod in agreement:
"Yes, Father/(Uncle)!"

Not long after, Tang Hao's figure jumped out of the window of Tang San's room and disappeared into the night.

However, he didn't know that everything he did, even his every move, was actually under the surveillance of a pair of eyes in the dark.

A few breaths after Tang Hao left, a shadow somewhere in the hotel where the Shrek Seven Devils were staying suddenly began to move slowly, and a tall figure covered in a wide black robe appeared.

This tall figure seemed a little unreal, and the whole person was floating in the shadows like a ghost, emitting a deep and cold aura that made people shudder.

This person is Ghost Douluo Guimei.

In terms of concealment and tracking abilities, almost no one in the entire Spirit Hall or even the entire Douluo Continent can compare with him, of course, except for a certain Saint Son who is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

With the ghost monitoring Shrek and his group, it was naturally difficult for Tang Hao to detect his presence.

…………

Silent all night.

The next morning, Shrek and his group gathered together.

The three team leaders were Flanders, Qin Ming, and Yu Xiaogang, the seven regular team members were Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong, and even the four substitute spirit masters were there to make up the numbers.

He just seemed out of place with the others, standing aside in a separate group.

After treatment, the injuries of the Shrek Seven Devils have almost recovered, except for Tang San who was the most seriously injured.

Ning Rongrong was taken back by Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo for a careful examination. After making sure that there was no root cause of the disease, she was soon sent back.

Although the competition of the Shrek Seven Devils has ended, everyone in this team is talented. Ning Fengzhi is still very greedy and wants to take the opportunity to lure them to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong was not taken away directly. Instead, she was allowed to return to the Shrek Seven Devils to deepen her relationship with the other Shrek Seven Devils so as to better persuade and win them over after the game.

Flanders' expression today was surprisingly serious.

Ever since the Shrek Seven Devils made him a lot of money in this competition, he has always been smiling, but now there was no smile on his face at all.

There is no other reason, he is just influenced by the people in front of him.

At this moment, the mood of the Shrek Seven Devils was obviously not very high. They all looked extremely depressed. They didn't say a word, and even their expressions were the same, looking listless.

Among them, Yu Xiaogang looked the most depressed.

Even though I gave him some earnest words of comfort and enlightenment, he still looked like a dead fish, with a stiff face.

Of course, Flanders knew the reason.

The loss of yesterday's match was such a huge blow to the Shrek Seven Devils teachers and students that they haven't recovered yet.

Flanders walked up to the Shrek Seven Devils, looked around at them, and then said to them:
"Little monsters, a temporary failure does not mean permanent failure. Yesterday's game was just a small part of your life journey. If you lose, you lose. It's no big deal."

"Although I said before that you won't be allowed to graduate if you don't win the championship, it was just a joke. You don't have to take it seriously."

At this point, Flanders's bearded face suddenly revealed a smile, trying to arouse the emotions of the Shrek Seven Devils.

But this smiling face looked so funny no matter how you looked at it. The Shrek Seven Devils were not moved at all and remained as depressed as ever.

Fortunately, Flanders was thick-skinned and didn't take it seriously at all. After laughing awkwardly for a while, he continued to talk to himself:

"What I want to tell you now is that the championship is not important. What is important is you. No matter what your results are, you are my pride and my students."

"To be honest, I feel very honored and proud to have trained geniuses like you. As the dean, I am already very satisfied that Shrek has made it to the top three in the finals."

"All good things must come to an end. Shrek Academy cannot always help you grow. You still have to walk the path ahead on your own."

“So, don’t dwell on past failures, pick yourself up!”

These earnest words seemed to have finally aroused the emotions of the Shrek Seven Devils, and some light gradually returned to everyone's eyes.

Flanders smiled with satisfaction, and continued, striking while the iron was hot:

"Little monsters, you may not know what it means to be in the top three of the finals, but I can tell you that you are definitely one of the best teams."

"You know, in the previous All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, any team that made it to the top three in the finals had members who were the best and most talented young soul masters in the entire soul master world and even the entire Douluo Continent."

"You are only fourteen or fifteen years old now, much younger than most of the participating students, but you were able to defeat them in the fierce competition and enter the top three of the finals. This is already quite enviable."

"What do you have to be disappointed about? It's those teams that should be disappointed."

Seeing the eyes of the Shrek Seven Devils becoming brighter and brighter, and seeing the flames of their confidence rekindled, Flanders felt relieved that all the words he had spoken were worth it.

With a turn of his eyes, he decided to add fuel to the fire:

"In the case of the same age, in this Soul Master Elite Competition, only the Second Team of the Spirit Hall can be compared with you, and is slightly better than you."

"Even the Spirit Hall's first team that also made it to the finals cannot compare to you. After all, they are all over twenty years old."

"Let me ask you, if you grow up to be the same age as them, will you be weaker than them? Will you be afraid of them?"

"You may not be their opponent at the moment, but you can work hard to practice and constantly surpass yourself and break through yourself."

"One day, you will grow to the same height as them. When that time comes, you can compete with each other. Who can tell who will win or lose?"

Flanders heartfelt encouragement finally helped the demoralized Shrek Seven Devils to recover from the heavy blow brought by the Spirit Hall's Second Team.

As a disciple brought back by Flanders at a bargain price, Oscar naturally knew about it. He was the first to step forward and nodded heavily:

"Dean Flanders is right. We can't easily deny ourselves just because we failed in one game. If we can't do well in this round, we can always fight in the next one. Anyway, we are still young."

Ma Hongjun also jumped out with a big round belly, twisting his wrist and laughing:
"That's right. Even though we lost to Spirit Hall's Second Team, we were still one of the top three in the finals. Why should we feel ashamed of ourselves?"

"We lost this time because we were not strong enough, but next time, it won't be the same."

"Let me train hard and improve my strength. Next time, I will let those girls from the second team of the Spirit Hall have a taste of how powerful I am."

Oscar and Ma Hongjun's jokes brightened the mood of the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils, and they all nodded in agreement.
