Chapter 481 Tang San's Confidence Collapses
"Since you're unwilling to accept this, why not take a gamble and boldly pursue it?"
With a thought stirring in his heart, Yu Xiaogang glanced at Yu Tianheng and suddenly spoke up to encourage him.
"what?"
This sudden encouragement left Yu Tianheng completely stunned.
Yu Xiaogang smiled slightly, seemingly genuinely considering his nephew's marriage prospects, and said in a somewhat encouraging tone:
"Didn't you say you liked that Dugu Yan? Then why don't you continue pursuing her?"
Yu Tianheng gave a bitter smile:
"Uncle, I've tried, but she doesn't like me. There's no point in continuing to pursue her."
"Besides, I can't force her, otherwise her strange and ruthless grandfather, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, won't let me off the hook."
Seeing Yu Tianheng's visibly low spirits and dejected expression, Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt a pang of disappointment:
"Xiao Heng, as the young sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, how can you be so disheartened and timid?"
"What are the beliefs upheld by our True Dragon Clan? They are domineering, overwhelming, and never backing down in the face of difficulties."
"She's just a mere Dugu Yan. You, the young sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, are you afraid you can't handle her?"
Faced with his uncle's accusations, Yu Tianheng knew he was a disappointment and lowered his head in shame.
Seeing Yu Tianheng with his head down, Yu Xiaogang raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder:
"Xiao Heng, don't feel ashamed. There is no woman in this world that a direct descendant of our True Dragon Clan cannot win over. If there is, it's just that we don't find her attractive."
"You must remember that you are the young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Whether it is your identity or status, your talent or potential, or your background or family power, you are far stronger and more profound than most people."
With so many superior conditions bestowed upon him, how could he not win over a mere Dugu Yan?
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng slightly raised his head:
"Is this even possible?"
Yu Xiaogang did not answer him, but instead patiently guided him:
"You know, women admire strength, especially women in Douluo Continent. After all, this continent belongs to the world of Soul Masters, where the law of the jungle prevails, and women often have no choice but to rely on the strong to survive."
"Although Dugu Yan has a Poison Douluo backing her up, she is just a lone wolf. Your identity, status, and powerful influence and background are exactly what they lack."
"So, it's not impossible for you to win over Dugu Yan."
Do you understand what I mean?
Yu Tianheng's eyes lit up:
"real?"
"certainly."
Yu Xiaogang nodded affirmatively, and then said:
"However, there are ways to pursue a woman. You can't just pester her relentlessly, or you'll only annoy her."
Yu Tianheng recalled his pursuit of Dugu Yan and realized that although his behavior was not exactly relentless, it was indeed somewhat annoying. No wonder Dugu Yan always seemed impatient with him.
Upon realizing this, Yu Tianheng immediately humbly sought guidance:
"Uncle, what should I do?"
That depends on your communication skills; whether you can turn Dugu Yan into a naive and innocent girl who only has you in her heart.
Back in the day, your uncle, with his silver tongue, tricked... *cough cough*, Yu Xiaogang coughed twice, and said matter-of-factly:
"As I just told you, women are attracted to strong men, so of course you should show her your strength."
Yu Tianheng subconsciously said:
"But I am no match for Dugu Yan."
Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, then turned his gaze and said:
"The so-called strength does not necessarily refer to physical power; it can also refer to wisdom, other special abilities, or certain unique qualities, charm, and so on."
"After all, while women admire strength, it cannot be ruled out that some women are different from ordinary people, have unique tastes, and do not like people with high strength. Instead, they are particularly fond of men with other powerful abilities."
At this point, Yu Xiaogang seemed slightly dazed, thinking of the two foolish women, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong.
They were captivated by their own unparalleled wisdom, and thus fell deeply in love with him.
After thinking for a while, Yu Xiaogang came to his senses, shook his head, and continued:
"In short, show her what she desires, and you'll easily conquer her and win her heart."
"At that time, whatever you ask of her, she will willingly and obediently bring it to you."
"Women are almost all fools, vain and stupid, yet incredibly sentimental. They always yearn for that ethereal and false love, and once they fall in love, they can't extricate themselves—purely love-struck."
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but show a proud expression on his face, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
Yu Tianheng, who was standing next to him, felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. His lips twitched a few times as he thought to himself, "Uncle, how could you say such things?"
If the women of Douluo Continent heard this, they'd probably punch you to death.
However, what my uncle said does seem to make some sense.
Dugu Yan, a woman with such a proud personality, is certainly not an ordinary person, but it's certain that she admires strong men, so her requirements for a partner are naturally not low. After all the calculations, it seems that only I can meet those requirements.
Perhaps I should try harder to pursue Dugu Yan.
After all, the bold get rich while the timid starve; it's not a loss anyway, so getting something is a gain.
If I could win Dugu Yan's favor and capture her heart, I would not only gain a stunningly beautiful woman with exceptional talent, but also complete the task my grandfather entrusted to me. Incidentally, I could also get the method for my uncle to absorb the ultimate soul ring.
It's a win-win situation, so why not do it?
As they spoke, Yu Xiaogang had already reached his room door, taken out his key, opened the door, and turned to look at Yu Tianheng:
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Figure out the rest yourself."
"However, judging from your expression, it seems you've already made up your mind."
Yu Tianheng nodded:
"Yes, I will listen to you, Uncle, and I will never let you down."
Yu Xiaogang gave him a deep look.
Yu Tianheng also glanced back at him.
When their eyes met, the uncle and nephew seemed to exchange something with each other.
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
Yu Xiaogang forced a smile onto his stiff face.
He immediately waved his hand:
"I need to rest now, you should go back and rest too."
"Yes, goodbye, Uncle."
…………
Silent all night.
Early the next morning, Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Zhao Wuji led the Shrek Six Monsters to check out of the hotel and return to Shrek Academy outside the south gate of the city.
After a night of rest, Tang San and his companions have all woken up.
Ning Rongrong and Oscar were the first to wake up.
The two had the mildest symptoms of poisoning and were not injured. The deadly poison in their bodies had been completely removed by Dugu Yan. They woke up shortly after returning to the hotel.
As for Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and Xiao Wu...
Because they all carried the residual poison of Dugu Yan and had suffered severe injuries, although their physical wounds had healed after treatment by a healing-type soul master, they were inevitably depleted of qi and blood and mentally exhausted.
Following Ning Rongrong and Oscar, Dai Mubai, who had the highest soul power level, and Ma Hongjun, who had the least serious injuries, also awoke.
When the two woke up in the middle of the night, they found that their skin was purple and determined that there was still residual poison in their bodies. They quickly found Oscar and asked him for some antidote sausages to eat.
However, the effect was minimal, as the remaining toxins in the body could not be removed immediately and required time to gradually clear them away.
It is worth mentioning that, due to the presence of residual poison, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were surprised to find that their abilities in certain areas suddenly became ineffective.
As a result, for a long period of time, the Time Tiger could not manage time no matter what he did, and the Brothel Phoenix could no longer visit the brothel. The evil fire of desire could not be released, and he was tormented to the point of ecstasy.
Tang San also had Dugu Yan's deadly poison in his body, but he had a certain resistance to the poison. After Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun woke up, he struggled to run to Xiao Wu's room.
Throughout the entire process, Tang San didn't say a word, just waited numbly for Xiao Wu to wake up.
Even when Xiao Wu finally woke up, the expression on his face was full of frustration, annoyance, regret, and self-doubt, as if he had lost all his energy and spirit, and was no longer the confident, proud, and in control person he used to be.
It was obvious that Tang San's confidence had collapsed.
After returning to Shrek Academy, he locked himself in his dormitory, refusing to eat or drink. Holding the Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, he stared blankly at the wall, lost in thought.
…………
"This is the Shrek Academy that Teacher Qin Ming asked us to visit? It's far too dilapidated!"
Looking at the dilapidated wooden buildings around him, Oslo was filled with disbelief.
"This can be called an academy? It's rubbish."
Standing next to him, Yu Feng's brows were deeply furrowed. She loved cleanliness and loathed the muddy path. While wiping the mud and grime off her shoes on the grass, she commented on Shrek Academy.
However, his tone was very impolite.
Yu Tianheng looked around at the environment and was also dumbfounded, clearly shocked by the extremely poor school environment of Shrek Academy.
However, considering that this was where his uncle Yu Xiaogang worked, he still mustered up the courage to say a good word for Shrek Academy:
"I heard that Shrek Academy is having some financial problems, so it's normal that the school environment is a little worse. Please understand."
Hearing Yu Tianheng speak up for Shrek Academy, Oslo and Yu Feng secretly curled their lips, but said nothing more.
"Lingling, let's go back."
At this moment, Dugu Yan, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly made a suggestion to Ye Lingling, who was holding her hand.
"Um."
Ye Lingling, her face covered by a black veil, nodded slightly in response.
By this time, they had already toured Shrek Academy and visited the entire academy, so there was no point in staying any longer.
Besides, Shrek Academy isn't anything special to look at.
Looking around, all you could see was a dilapidated and decaying scene; it was nothing more than a run-of-the-mill college.
If it weren't for His Highness mentioning it before, which piqued their curiosity and made them want to see for themselves, they wouldn't have agreed to let Qin Ming come here to feed the mosquitoes.
Instead of wasting this time, we might as well go back to Soto and have a good stroll around the city.
After they finished speaking, the two turned and walked towards the direction of the village entrance.
"Yanyan, Lingling, where are you going?"
Yu Tianheng led Oslo, Yu Feng, and the Shi brothers to catch up.
Dugu Yan didn't want to pay him any attention at all, but Ye Lingling, who was usually taciturn, gave him a concise answer:
"Return to Soto."
Yu Tianheng was slightly taken aback:
"But Teacher Qin said that we should meet with the students from Shrek Academy later, get to know each other, and resolve the conflict between the two sides."
Ye Lingling raised her beautiful blue eyes, glanced at him, and said in a melodious but extremely calm voice:
"Then please tell Teacher Qin Ming that we are not interested in this matter."
Yu Tianheng: "This..."
"Alright, let's do as Lingling says."
At this moment, Dugu Yan, who was standing next to him, impatiently interrupted him, then glanced at Yu Feng and the other three:
"If you want to stay, then stay. Lingling and I have something to do, so we'll head back now."
After saying that, he pulled Ye Lingling away.
Yu Feng and Oslo, Graphite and Stone Mill, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although she wanted to go with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, she couldn't disobey Qin Ming's orders, so she could only sigh and stay behind.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling can disobey, but they can't, since they can't beat Qin Ming and don't want to get beaten up.
Watching Dugu Yan walk further and further away, Yu Tianheng looked helpless. He had wanted to follow his uncle's advice and find an opportunity to spend time alone with her to improve their relationship, but Dugu Yan never gave him the chance.
Yu Tianheng shook his head slightly, sighing helplessly:
"Never mind, let's talk about it next time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
…………
After bringing the Royal Fighting Team members to Shrek Academy, Qin Ming left alone to visit some of the teachers at Shrek Academy.
They were chatting idly in Flanders' dean's office at that moment.
Not long after, Yu Xiaogang led the Shrek Six Monsters into the office.
Tang San seemed to still be reeling from the blows dealt by Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, his expression somewhat blank.
Not only Tang San, but the other members of the Shrek Six Monsters also looked rather unhappy. Losing to the Royal Fighting Team left everyone with a sense of frustration on their faces.
Xiao Wu, the mischievous rabbit, was even more listless, her pale, purplish face revealing a hint of fear, as if she was still shaken.
In order to restore Tang San and the others' confidence, Yu Xiaogang and Qin Ming discussed it and decided to have the Shrek Six Monsters and the Royal Fighting Team have a few more one-on-one Soul Fighting matches without any rules.
In other words, Tang San and others are allowed to use hidden weapons without restraint.
Of course, since this is an exchange and discussion between two colleges, things that cause injury or disability are not allowed.
After discussing the matter, the group found Yu Tianheng and his companions, who were still wandering around Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang was surprised and regretful that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling left early. Of course, he regretted that he could not find an opportunity to get the super-limit absorption method of the soul ring that he had been longing for from the two of them.
However, the absence of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling did not prevent the two teams from having another fierce battle.
As expected, Tang San, who could use hidden weapons without restraint, defeated all the members of the Royal Fighting Team single-handedly.
As for whether his confidence has been restored, only he knows for sure, but the rest of the Shrek academy students are quite happy.
…………
While the one-on-one spirit battles at Shrek Academy were in full swing...
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were having a great time strolling through the bustling streets of Soto City.
During that time, he also took the opportunity to visit the Soto Spirit Hall.
Using the Spirit Hall's special communication channels, she reported the events that had occurred in Soto City to Ye Qifeng in detail, and also conveyed her longing to him through a letter.
Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away, Ye Qifeng was planning to leave Wuhun City and head to the depths of the mountains in the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire.
