Tang Hao released his Martial Soul, gripping the Haotian Hammer in his hand, and gnashed his teeth at Zhao Wuji.
"As the leading Teacher for the Soul Hunting operation, not only did you fail to find a suitable Soul Ring for Xiao San, but your negligence even caused him to absorb a ten-year Soul Ring. You deserve death."
Terrifying Soul Power filled the entire room, making the surrounding air feel thick, causing Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Yu Xiaogang to have difficulty breathing.
Looking at the massive Haotian Hammerhead, Zhao Wuji's face was filled with terror, not even having the courage to flee.
However, Tang Hao did not directly attack, but instead turned his gaze onto Flander, similarly saying with eyes wide in fury.
"As the Dean of Shrek Academy, you handed the task of helping students hunt for Soul Rings to Zhao Wuji and then completely ignored it. You are equally responsible in this matter and deserve to die just like him."
Flander was completely stunned.
He wanted to offer a few words of explanation, but didn't know how to begin.
Moreover, Flander knew very well that the more he said now, the more mistakes he would make; trying to defend himself would only make Tang Hao more furious.
Seeing that Tang Hao was about to deliver a killing blow to Flander and Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, who was beside him, quickly spoke up to dissuade him.
"Haotian Douluo, although they do bear some responsibility in this matter, Luo Ye is the real culprit. Their crime doesn't warrant death."
Hearing this, Tang Hao became so angry he laughed, looking coldly at Yu Xiaogang, saying word by word.
"I almost forgot about you, you piece of trash."
Feeling Tang Hao's gaze that seemed ready to devour someone, Yu Xiaogang felt as if his heart had instantly stopped beating, not even caring about the anger from Tang Hao calling him trash.
Tang Hao didn't give Yu Xiaogang any face at all, continuing to say viciously.
"Don't think I don't know, the reason Xiao San came to this garbage academy is because you recommended it to him."
"If you hadn't made him give up other advanced academies and come here instead, how could he have possibly absorbed four ten-year Soul Rings?"
"Yu Xiaogang, you piece of trash are the one who deserves to die the most!"
The more Tang Hao spoke, the angrier he got. By the end, his state was close to madness, no longer caring about anything else. He directly picked up the Haotian Hammer and smashed it towards Yu Xiaogang in front of him.
Seeing his action, Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted sharply. He felt that he was going to meet his end here today.
He was merely a Soul Grandmaster with twenty-nine levels of Soul Power. With the strength of Tang Hao, a Haotian Douluo, even a casual swing of his hammer could smash him to pieces.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Flander used the fastest speed of his life, pushed Yu Xiaogang away, and took Tang Hao's hammer blow in his place.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a muffled sound, the terrifying force wrapped around the Haotian Hammer directly smashed Flander, embedding him into the ground.
The surrounding ground cracked inch by inch, and dust and sand flew everywhere.
Flander's act of sacrificing himself to save Yu Xiaogang not only failed to move Tang Hao, but instead made him even more furious.
"Performing brotherhood in front of me, are you? I'll show you brotherhood!"
Tang Hao continuously swung the Haotian Hammer at Flander, making him sink deeper and deeper into the ground.
Even though excruciating pain was coming from all over his body, Flander still gritted his teeth and endured it, completely lacking the courage or thought to resist.
Seeing Flander's condition becoming increasingly dangerous, Zhao Wuji mustered his courage and directly pounced onto him.
"This is all my fault, it has nothing to do with Boss Flander. If you want to kill someone, kill me."
Originally, in Tang Hao's heart, Zhao Wuji's responsibility in this matter ranked second, and his killing intent towards him was only slightly lower than that towards Luo Ye.
It was one thing that he hadn't directly attacked him, but now he even dared to actively seek death. In that case, Tang Hao truly didn't mind satisfying him.
The enraged Tang Hao swung his hammer at Zhao Wuji without hesitation, but it resulted in two muffled groans sounding simultaneously.
Flander really wanted to curse.
He didn't know if Zhao Wuji was trying to protect him or drag him down to death.
One must know that Zhao Wuji was currently pressing down on Flander. Wouldn't Tang Hao hitting him be equivalent to hitting two people with one blow?
Yu Xiaogang, who was on the side, felt increasingly anxious after sensing Flander and Zhao Wuji's breathing gradually weaken.
To save their lives, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
"Stop!"
Tang Hao subconsciously stopped and turned to look at Yu Xiaogang.
His appearance, like that of a madman, made Yu Xiaogang not doubt for a moment that if he couldn't come up with a suitable excuse, he would definitely be killed along with Flander and Zhao Wuji.
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and told Tang Hao a colossal lie.
"I once saw a record in a book that mentioned a method to remove all Soul Rings and re-absorb more powerful ones."
After hearing this, Tang Hao's consciousness cleared up slightly.
However, even if he thought with his butt, he would know that Yu Xiaogang was definitely spouting nonsense. So, he directly picked up the Haotian Hammer, pointed it at Yu Xiaogang, and said coldly.
"It seems you want to die one step before them."
Saying this, he stepped towards Yu Xiaogang.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang pretended to be calm and spoke rapidly.
"This record is something I saw in the Spirit Hall's collection of books. That book contained many experiences of previous generations of strong individuals from the Spirit Hall."
"You also know what kind of foundation the Spirit Hall possesses, so this matter cannot be false."
Tang Hao stopped in his tracks, unsure for a moment whether he should believe Yu Xiaogang.
The Spirit Hall's heritage is far more ancient than any sect or family on the Douluo Continent. If Yu Xiaogang really saw this record in the Spirit Hall's collection of books, it might actually be true.
"You expect me to believe you just based on this one sentence?"
Yu Xiaogang knew that it would be impossible to convince Tang Hao without presenting some concrete evidence. So, after a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said.
"The Ten Core Competitiveness of Martial Souls that I proposed back then, I saw them in that book."
"But in order to change others' perception of me, I claimed the experiences summarized by the Spirit Hall's previous generations of strong individuals as my own and published them without authorization, which is how I gained the title of Grandmaster."
Yu Xiaogang took a deep look at Flander and Zhao Wuji, who were embedded in the ground, his heart filled with unwillingness.
To save the lives of these two guys, he didn't even hesitate to admit that he had plagiarized the experiences and conclusions summarized by the Spirit Hall's predecessors.
This was also telling Tang Hao that his so-called Grandmaster title was obtained through deceit and trickery.
For Yu Xiaogang, who valued face more than anything, this sacrifice was truly too great.
Now, Tang Hao was truly starting to believe him a little.
If Yu Xiaogang really saw this record in the Spirit Hall's collection of books, wouldn't that mean it was still possible for Tang San to change his Soul Rings?
