The people on the arena, including Flander, were just small fry.
If Tang Hao hadn't been protecting them, the people from Blue Silver Academy would have simply taken them down upon meeting them.
There would have been no need for any exchange matches.
Holding exchange matches with them here was merely a way to stall them, an excuse to keep them there.
They might not have known the situation, but that didn't mean Tang Hao, who had been tracking and protecting them all along, hadn't noticed something was amiss.
After entering Blue Silver City, he had felt a presence constantly observing him, especially after arriving at Blue Silver Academy.
It was just that he hadn't detected the presence of any powerful Titled Douluo; otherwise, he would have acted long ago.
The closest one in his perception seemed to be from the guesthouse in the distance.
The aura belonged to someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and Dugu Bo.
The remaining Titled Douluo was the Demonic Bear Douluo sent by the Spirit Hall, who was just an ordinary Titled Douluo.
Other than that, there were no others.
As for Soul Douluo, whether from Blue Silver City or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he didn't care much.
Perhaps some exceptionally talented individuals could truly fight above their rank, but they couldn't surpass his, Tang Hao's, rank.
It had always been him, Tang Hao, who defeated others above his rank; there would never be anyone else successfully challenging him above their rank.
People whose soul power level was below his could only look up to him; they simply weren't qualified to earn his attention.
'Have these people discovered that 100,000-year soul beast? Is their target him?'
'Or is it me?'
"Or is it Xiao San?"
Tang Hao had already been speculating when he discovered that the situation in Blue Silver City was unusual.
If the investigative ability was strong and everyone was investigated, it might simply be that Blue Silver City had some secret ability.
It was also possible that someone at Blue Silver Academy had discovered the situation of that 100,000-year Soft Bone Rabbit, and thus harbored malicious intentions.
It was also possible that people from the Spirit Hall had discovered his existence and wanted to capture him.
Or was it because they saw Tang San's innate full soul power?
'If that's the case, a mere Blue Silver Academy, how ridiculous. I will make you compensate us handsomely.
'And, you even hurt Xiao San.'
No matter the reason, Tang Hao would not stand idly by.
Moreover, Tang Hao's character was undoubtedly overbearing.
When he wanted something, contention was a compulsory course.
Currently, he was just uncertain about the situation, which was why he let Yu Xiaogang speak first to probe.
If the other party's target wasn't that Soft Bone Rabbit, they would definitely let them leave.
As long as he confirmed that the few Titled Douluo there weren't paying attention to this matter, then it would be time for him to 'communicate' with the people from Blue Silver Academy.
The Blue Silver Grass soul masters in this academy were indeed quite strong and very suitable for his Xiao San's martial soul, and with his innate full soul power, these things wouldn't go to waste.
As for the Soul Sages and Soul Douluo in the academy, they might be very troublesome for others.
But for him, mere Soul Douluo were just ants!
He observed the arena area, and Lan Ke quickly rejected Yu Xiaogang and Flander's idea of leaving.
"For the sake of the students, both of you should stay at Blue Silver Academy for a while."
"If Teacher Flander wishes to exchange pointers with a teacher, I can also take responsibility for battling you."
His words even carried a hint of using force to keep them there.
"Teacher Lan, this isn't right."
This made Flander's face stiffen and look even worse.
He was already very displeased that the students were injured.
And now, they weren't even allowed to leave?
He looked at Yu Xiaogang, wondering if the other party had discovered something?
As for fighting?
He currently had no such intention.
Not to mention he might not be able to defeat the opponent, even if he did, what then?
There was also Vice Dean Zhao watching not far away.
That Soul Douluo had been watching intently.
Even without making a move, he exerted immense pressure on Flander.
"Are you Blue Silver Academy trying to forcibly keep us here?"
"What is your purpose?"
"I am Yu Xiaogang, the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall."
"Every student here is extraordinary: the Star Luo Prince, the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's sect master. You should think carefully."
Initially, Yu Xiaogang wanted to stay, but this abnormal situation made him deeply regret it.
He even directly announced his name.
Although he had left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and appeared to have withdrawn from the sect, at certain times, Yu Xiaogang would still reveal his identity.
He also invoked the backing of the various students' forces.
"Oh, the Three Upper Sects, Spirit Hall, Star Luo Empire."
"They all have people in Blue Silver City, rest assured, Blue Silver Academy will give an explanation."
Lan Ke was expressionless.
Since it was the dean's instruction, matters after that would naturally be discussed later.
The Three Upper Sects, Spirit Hall, although powerful, a mere name wouldn't make them dare to do nothing.
This obvious attitude of forcibly detaining them made Yu Xiaogang's face turn pale.
But he, unaware of Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul beast identity,
could only wildly speculate that Tang Hao had been discovered, or that Tang San's identity had been discovered.
After all, the latter was the real big trouble.
And it was worth others making a big fuss over.
"Are you because..."
If the Spirit Hall really had some arrangements here, or knew Tang San's identity and wanted to capture him to threaten Clear Sky Douluo,
then it would be terrible.
His disciple might really be gone.
Although the Spirit Hall seemed very good to commoners, it was ruthless towards other soul master forces, especially those with whom they had grudges.
They had always been known to eliminate them completely.
Even a Three Upper Sect like the Clear Sky Sect was forced to seal its mountain.
If not for other concerns, it would have been finished too.
"Hmph."
"A mere Blue Silver City, a few insignificant cats and dogs, do you really think you can covet anything?"
"A force with only an old poison Titled Douluo, yet daring to be so arrogant."
Yu Xiaogang's words couldn't continue. A thunderous roar echoed in the sky, carrying a heavy reverberation. The next moment, the roof of the Blue Silver Academy's arena viewing platform was directly torn open.
The sturdy roof shattered like foam, and a figure in a black cloak, looking somewhat disheveled with a full beard, stepped into the air.
As he spoke and moved, nine soul rings rapidly shone forth.
The most striking was the ninth blood-red 100,000-year soul ring.
Tang Hao, who thought he had determined the locations of the various powerhouses in Blue Silver City, no longer concealed himself.
It was enough that he confirmed they had intentions of keeping the Shrek Academy people.
No matter what for, he would soon find out, and they would pay the price regardless.
"Clear Sky Douluo..."
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang Hao's appearance with an expression of adoration.
The other party was the one who killed the previous Pope who forced him out of the Spirit Hall.
He didn't even put the Spirit Hall in his eyes, let alone this so-called Blue Silver City.
Tang Hao's appearance made the remaining people in the Spirit Arena feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Especially Zhao Wuji. He was originally here to be responsible for the safety of the students who hadn't left yet.
Although many people had been evacuated, not everyone had left, and this academy was clearly not necessarily safe either.
