Yu Xiaogang is Here!

"Do we have an understanding?"

"...Yes…" Liu Erlong slowly stood up on her feet. She never faced someone who could knock her out of her merged form!

Something like that was something she never heard before, that was until she faced this Prince in a 'fight'. He needed to smack her once and she was on her knees!

"Good. Now tell me, did this 'Grandmaster' try to train you in his master theories?" Xue Long asked with both of his hands behind his back. He snorted when he said 'Master Theories'.

"...Yes…"

"I see… Now, this makes sense, he noticed how hard it is for you to advance in later stages so he decided to leave and find a better disciple."

"...No. He left on our wedding day after my father interrupted it." 

"As far as I know both of you are cousins from Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I am pretty sure that your 'Grandmaster' knew that you were from the same clan. Not many Dragon Martial Spirits exist on their own and do not have some connections to your clan. Someone as crafty as Yu Xiaogang would know." He said with a thoughtful look. Now he wonders if Huo Wu's mother or father had some connection to this dragon clan. Since her brother has Fire Dragon Martial Spirit.

"...That's… there are dragon Martial Spirits outside that despicable clan! Like you! " She said that with a non-certain tone.

"You should look from your Yu Xiaogang point of view. Will he believe that such a dragon Martial Spirit exists? Or he just wanted to make another dragon, not Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon into Titled Douluo? Regardless, it's pointless to speculate without the man in question." Xue Long said that he looked at Zi Ji.

"Give us a lift. I haven't used your dragon form to travel yet."

'Dragon form? What is he talking about?' Liu Erlong, who was confused for a bit, looked at the purple-haired maid…

Sure enough, the maid rushed into the air with a pair of dragon wings on her back… her form high in the air rapidly grew! Transforming into an enormous black dragon! 

'T-That's! That Great Beast they talked about!' 

Moments later the dragon landed on the ground it was over 100 metres long so the bamboo forest was pretty much gone.

"I see the training is paying off, you no longer emit those corrosive acids randomly." Xue Long said with a proud smile.

"...Yes, now why don't you hop on and we fly! I haven't flown outside Star Dou forest in this form yet!" The Dragon spoke in a deep draconic tone. One would say it's hard to believe that this is that beautiful maid with purple hair. The only purple thing is her eyes. Though if one paid close attention to the dragon scales one could see that they are purple but it's an extremely dark shade of it making it look black.

"You heard my dragoness, we are going to the city where your Yu Xiaogang is." 

"...But why… What is the point of all of this?"

"It's simple, I will bring you to him and you will give your academy to me. Though I can't guarantee that he will be fine. Spirit Hall decided to get him into custody. So there is a chance that he will be put behind bars soon." Xue Long said that with a small snort. After Bibi Dong got what she 'wanted' she is now thinking of taking out all the trash. A spring cleaning one would say. One of those is Yu Xiaogang…

"!!!"

Without wasting much time she walked over to the huge dragon. 

"...Fine, you finally said what you wanted. You can have the Academy… after I speak with Xiaogang!" She said that with a serious frown. Though she is wondering how to get him out of the sticky situation with Spirit Hall…

If what he said is true and Spirit Hall wants him captured for all those theories which he used then it's not much she can do. Sure she could fight Spirit Hall for him… but that's just suicidal. Especially when she doesn't know the full truth? Maybe what the Prince is saying is true. Yu Xiaogang used her, or was this Prince just messing with her head?

Regardless! She needs to see the 'Grandmaster'.

Hearing how she agreed, Xue Long jumped on the back of the dragon, followed by Liu Erlong. Zi Ji quickly left the area with a casual beat of her wings. 

The people who saw the huge dragon mostly passed out from sheer fright. Others were running around like headless chickens. None of them saw such huge things outside the forest and inside the Capital City!

~~~

As the huge dragon landed on the outskirts of Nuoding City she attracted quite a bit of attention. Thankfully she didn't stay in that form for long as soon enough the trio entered the city.

They instantly went to the Academy, where the Crown Prince asked where the 'Grandmaster' was. 

All they got was a sneer when they heard the name 'Grandmaster' they were told that the old man left somewhere.

"It would seem he WAS here, but he left." Liu Erlong said with a mixed tone. 

"Yes, but I can guess where he went." Xue Long said that as they once were walking, this time towards the outside of the city.

"Oh? Where?"

"Where is your other friend?"

"Flander?"

"Yes. I met him before. He runs an Academy of his own. The Shrek." As he said that the Dragoness once again transformed and with a roar they were gone. 

~~~

With a roar, the huge dragon landed not far from the rundown academy. The roar from a dragon got the students and the teachers panicky. They all ran out of the buildings and looked at the huge blackish dragon just standing there and looking down on the Academy. As a 100-metre-long beast, it's quite safe to say that all those people and the building looked like ants to her.

"What is that thing!? Why would such a beast come here? Such size… no doubt it's at least 100 thousand years old!" Man with white hair said with disbelief.

A few moments later two people jumped down from the dragon's head and landed on the ground not far from the Shrek buildings.

Then the dragon simply shrunk and simply disappeared!

'That beast is a Great Beast! Only one person has such a being in the whole Continent!? Why would he come here!?' 

Same time the blue-haired teen looked with a frown. He knew who this was! Seeing how the dragon simply shrunk down. It means it transformed into a human. 

There is only one known Great Beast to the public and that is the 270-thousand-year-old Dragon. Which he just saw now!

The Crown Prince was here? Why?

Thankfully their questions were going to be answered soon, as they saw three people walking over towards their location. Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened as he saw Liu Erlong! 

'What is she doing here?' The 'Grandmaster' grimaced as he saw his cousin! This was bad! She was next to the thorn in his side!

The Crown Prince, the Prince's theories and training methods were constantly making him alter his! It doesn't help that Xue Long's are simply better! Making it harder to get his reputation back on track!

"...Xiaogang! Tell me is it true that you used Spirit Hall's knowledge for your gains!? Is it true that you knew who I was?" The woman asked with an almost pleading tone. She wants it all to be wrong so that he could be safe and Spirit Hall would stop their pursuit!

Though all those were love-hungry women's dreams…

"My teacher didn't do anything wrong! It's all the Prince's fault! He is the one who hurt my father! He is the one who took Xiao Wu from me!" Tang San shouted from the side as he couldn't take this anymore! Will Xue Long take his teacher now away from him too!?

"Kid, We are not talking about your delusion here." The Crown Prince said with a sigh. He is here to get that last annoying Academy under him not to listen to this delusional kid and his outbursts…

"Delusions!? You are the one who did all that!"

"Your father attacked me, twice I might add, and Xiao Wu is a Spirit Beast turned human. You can't protect her. Not as weakling as you are at this moment. I am simply protecting a rare being from greedy hands." 

"Lies! I can protect her—" 

Xue Long simply flicked his finger and the brat like a missile was sent flying away… into the forest.

"As I was saying… do answer her questions. I have a deal with her." The Prince said that while lowering his hand.

Yu Xiaogang had some sweat going down his forehead, same with the students and the teachers. They all had nervous looks after the display they saw.

"...This… I thought it was a sin that Spirit Hall was hoarding all the information for themselves. So I wanted to spread it, to do that I needed to prove that it works. It wasn't my fault that Liu Erlong fell in love with me while I was teaching her through our travels." 

"...And did you know that I was from Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?" 

"...I had an idea. It was a possibility, no regular people possess such talent." He sounded quite arrogant there.

Xue Long snorted after hearing that. Such hypocrisy… he doesn't like nobles, but he is looking for ones to use his 'theories' on to prove that he, Yu Xiaogang, is great!

"So why escape when her father appeared before you? Was it time to leave and look for another disciple or you couldn't take it that your clan has found you?" The Crown Prince asked curiously this was a golden opportunity to learn how waste in such a continent operates.

"...Several reasons… one is that she is my cousin… second as you said… I needed greater talent to prove my theories, third I could not face him without achieving anything…" hearing how he admitted all that made the black-haired woman tear up. While the biggest surprise was that Flander was the one who smacked him hard in the face.

"... It seems reputation is far more important to you than Erlong's feelings!" The man with glasses exclaimed with an angry tone. 

'Damn! Never thought that I would see Flander pissed like that.' Xue Long chuckled internally when he saw that! This was amusing in its unique way!

"...It appears our deal is done. The academy is mine now. You can keep him as long as you want. If you are lucky enough you might hide with him until the Supreme Pontiff gets bored of the search." Seeing that Yu Xiaogang revealed how he truly feels it was enough for Xue Long. He might as well tip some elders of Spirit Hall where this guy was. Just to make Bibi Dong happy that he is doing something about this.

"...No… I am coming with you. This is fine… he can do whatever he wants. Since I am a failure in his eyes.  Even though he is a failure himself. Let's go. I don't care anymore." The black-haired woman said with a disgusted look as she turned around and looked at him.

"Oh? Fine then… I know a place where you can release that pent-up aggression you have." As Xue Long said, he smirked. Yes, he can take her to the Slaughter city with him. There should be enough people to slaughter there.

"Hmm? That would be appreciated, my Prince. I do want to beat up someone." She said that while clenching her hand. The atmosphere around her rose by several degrees.

"You will like it, don't worry. It's a special place to train." As he said that he looked at Zi Ji.

"Let's go, my Dragoness. It's time for me to keep that promise." 

The purple-haired dragoness grinned from ear to ear when she heard that it was time!

"About time! This silly human nonsense was driving me bored! Let's go!!!" As she said that she flew up once more transformed into her dragon form.

"Hop on!"

The Dragoness roared as she landed on the ground… breaking a few trees, fences and a portion of a building… 

Flander that moment face palmed… he can't send the bill to the Crown Prince now can he?
