Those Delusion Finally Caught Up

It didn't take long for a combined task force of Heavenly Dou soldiers and Spirit Hall Spirit Masters to advance towards Shrek Academy.

This was one of the first of this kind of operation when two powerhouses worked together to deal with something.

Dressed in white and gold uniforms these were the 'Secret Police' or 'Special Forces' specifically created to find and capture/kill/deal with specific people. 

Xue Long quite easily got Bibi Dong's permission to get his 'cleaners'. It was not hard with what kind of relationship they have now.

This was adding his quantity of soldiers with Spirit Hall's quality.

What he had was a group of regular soldiers accompanied by powerful Spirit Masters.

A perfect task force to sweep in and deal with specific tasks.

Over thirty people arrived at the Shrek, dressed in white and gold uniforms on their right shoulder was the Heavenly Dou Imperial Crest while on the left one was the Spirit Hall symbol.

This group was led by one of the Spirit Hall's Elders a Titled Douluo to make sure this was a success. 

Seconds into arriving at this place they surrounded the main building where the teachers were staying.

"I can sense that he did not leave. This is strange… the Prince said that he gave him a head start, he wanted to see how we will perform…" Pink Haired woman said with a frown. This made no sense to her. He didn't think that they would arrive so soon or that they would not arrive here at all!?

"YU XIAOGANG! COME OUT! You are under arrest for stealing Spirit Hall secrets and using them to further your gains and reputation." The Spirit Hall elder said with a frown as she waited for them to act.

"My teacher didn't do any of that! It's Spirit Hall's fault for not sharing such crucial information!" A young voice said from behind. 

The pink-haired Spirit Hall Elder turned around and looked at the source of the voice.

"Kid you have been brainwashed by a waste of a con man. Do you share your secrets with everyone?" 

"This is different!" Tang San got defensive! Tang Sect secrets are only for Tang Sect!

"It's the same, clans don't share their secrets, neither does Spirit Hall." She said with a frown as she looked at the doors which opened up and very much nervous Yu Xiaogang walked out. 

He looked quite pale and ashen. 

"...This must be a misunderstanding…" The man said with a shaky tone. Will his plan to prove to everyone that he was not a waste going to shatter? But Bibi Dong didn't care before! Why now do they care!? 

"...This was a decision done by The Crown Prince and Supreme Pontiff. Now come with us. We might find honest and proper work for you." Pink-haired woman said with a smirk. This sounds interesting. Maybe help recycle waste? To show how waste can change into something useful?

"This…This… it has to be Prince's fault! He doesn't want competition! I am sure of it!" The man was sure that Bibi Dong would never send people after him! She never did in all those years! So why now!? It has to be Xue Long! Only he could make this happen!

Hearing how even his Teacher said that it was Prince's fault made Tang San frown angrily even more. It made so much sense! 

Just like he thought Xue Long returned, and this time he will take his Teacher just like last time he took Xiao Wu from him!

He is afraid of his, Tang San potential! However… he won't allow him to take his teacher away from him! Not today!

"Guys! You must help me with this! They can't take the Teacher away!" Tang San said that while taking a fighting stance. This has confused the hell out of everyone. Even the Spirit Hall Elder looked confused. This kid… he is picking a fight with her? She is representing Spirit Hall and Heavenly Dou Empire! Does this Kid want to fight the whole of the Continent?

Though his friends looked at him with nervous looks, is he nuts? This woman is an Elder from Spirit Hall! Aren't they people with high Spirit ranks?

"..Third Brother… she is an Elder of Spirit Hall…"

"So what! She is evil!"

"Evil? Kid your teacher used someone else's knowledge to further his gains. Stop with your delusions and return to your room." She said with a snort. What kind of things does this academy teach here?

"Listen to the elder Tang San. Yu Xiaogang deserves this after playing with people's emotions. Just like how he did with yours." Flander the Dean of Shrek said with an angry frown of his own. He has underestimated his ex-friend's desire for reputation.

"Dean… did Xue Long's influence affect you too!?" Tang San asked with a fearful look. Did he get bribed!? He loves money after all!

Hearing how his delusions are getting out of control the pink-haired woman stopped caring and motioned for Spirit Masters to apprehend the con man.

The moment he grabbed him panic settled in. He started to struggle. He needs to see Bibi Dong! This should be a misunderstanding!

"Xiao San! You must get revenge for me! You are my only hope!"

"Silence him, we can allow his stupidity to influence other people." The woman motioned with her hand to silence him. This was getting ridiculous to an enormous level… how can a Grandmaster rank person make a kid this delusional?

"Nooo!!!" Tang San was about to use his hammer but Flander caught him and knocked him out with his superior cultivation.

Hearing a scream the group of people turned around and saw the Dean holding the knocked out kid.

"Take care of him. This con man got his claws deep in him. He might cause problems for the Empire in the future." The pink-haired woman sides with a frown before motioning for her task force to move out. 

By that point Yu Xiaogang stopped struggling and it looked like life had ended for him. Though there was a spark of hope in his eyes when he saw that Tang San was not captured!

He might get a chance to escape and return to his 'Grandmaster' ways!

~~~~~~Later~~~~~~

When Tang San opened his eyes he saw that he was in his bed. For a second he wondered how he ended up here.

Then his eyes widened as he remembered white and gold robbed people taking his teacher away and the Dean allowed it! He even said that he deserves it! 

How dare he! They were old friends, but Flander betrayed his teacher!

"I won't forgive you! No, this place is no longer for me! I need to leave! Everyone here is a coward who doesn't stand up for justice!" The blue-haired boy said that as he stood up. He left a trail of blistering neon-green particles. His gaze went to the forest.

He summoned his Martial Spirit. The grass was green and yellow. It showed its toxicity. 

Now he only saw one way he could keep up with Xue Long. Whatever cheats he used he has those too! His second ring ability is the poison drain and poison storage, he could repurpose it!

That's right… he is just going to drain the cultivation from spirit beasts! Who cares about them? 

Without second thought he left and didn't even look back.

~~~

As he was walking through the forest Tang San saw his first prey. He saw a purple-furred rabbit. He snorted for a bit. These things are everywhere and their cultivation is trash.

Still, though, cultivation is cultivation, he can't say no to even a few drops of it!

He used his first-ring ability and conscripted the rabbit before activating the second-ring ability. The poison drain… though nothing has happened but Tang San ruthlessly pushed this ability to very limited before the grass started to drain blood.

Blood and cultivation…

Moments later the corpse of Soft Boned Rabbit dropped on the ground. It looked like a husk… seconds later the corpse dissipated and there was nothing left behind.

That moment Tang San grinned as he felt an increase in cultivation. He just drained the rabbit of its cultivation!

"That's it! Now… with this… I, Tang San, will have my revenge!" The boy almost laughed from sheer happiness! Who cares about all that nonsense of working hard? That Prince sure does not! If he worked hard then their cultivation realms would be similar!

But no! He was doing something similar to this! Pretty sure all those maids he has are doing the same thing as well!

That's right! He found it! The means to even out the despair in their cultivation differences! When he is done with it he will challenge that fool and get his teacher back then he will burn Spirit Hall to the ground and make his Tang Sect the only true power in this continent! No more evil people running things however they pleased!

Without wasting his time he continued to advance deeper into the forest and drain whatever he found. His cultivation started to increase rapidly while at same time his Martial Spirit, the mutated Blue Silver Grass continued to evolve and become A  Dark Martial Spirit, Blood-Draining, Man-Consuming Grass!

~~~~~~With Xue Long~~~~~~

"The place where we enter is a special place which is created to select a successor to a God's position. It's special because once inside our cultivation is going to be sealed. This means we will need to use our Martial Arts and our Body constitutions." The Crown Prince said as he did alongside two girls was camping not far from the village which is the entrance to the Slaughter City.

"...This… I see… so such places exist…" While Liu Erlong was slightly spooked by this, the Dragoness was excited!

"I see… this is good! This means others could not use their powers as well!" Zi Ji nodded with a satisfied nod! She is a Spirit Beast so it's slightly different for her! She doesn't have Spirit Rings! It was always brute strength for her! Now with Xue Long training in martial arts, she can harness her pure strength even better!

"Yes, however, this is where we can go all out and kill as much as we can. This place is infested with criminals and I want them to die before taking over and turning this into my penal colony." The Crown Prince said with crossed arms. He said the true goal of him arriving here.

"Penal colony… I see… It makes sense. They will kill each other here, you won't need much management either." The black-haired dragoness nodded at him. 

"Yes, but for now we need to clean the house. Liu Erlong you need some basic training done before we proceed." As Xue Long said that he clapped his hands and started to create a Lotus Flower which will give her a crash course for Dragon Martial arts style.

"Hmm? I do know how to fight…" However, she didn't finish explaining as she saw the golden flower.

The Crown Prince handed over the flower. The moment she touched the flower shattered and turned into particles and entered into her body that moment she got a crash course of the fighting style.

"...Impressive… I see…" The woman said with glazed eyes before returning to normal. She quickly got up on her feet and tried it out.

"...It even feels natural… it's like I've been doing this for several years!" She exclaimed happily before smirking at him.

"With this style and my natural constitution I could lay waste to those people!" 

One thing for sure is that she doesn't like guts and bravado. She was similar to Huo Wu in that regard. The trait of Fire Martial Spirit…

"Good to hear we will go there after resting here. Let's get some food and water first." As he said that Xue Long was too giddy to do some camping! He hasn't done anything like this for years!

"I doubt it will be easy… I might be scared of some beasts. And those humans might as well hunt down spirit beasts around this area.
