144: Chapter 144 Tang San Returns to Shrek Academy

Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.

A figure walked towards the academy's main gate.

The person was dressed in a black robe, with the brim of his hood pulled very low, obscuring most of his face.

His pace was not fast, and a cold, bone-chilling aura faintly lingered around him.

Nearby students hurriedly dodged in panic, their eyes filled with apprehension. Many subconsciously shrank their necks, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"So... such a terrifying aura..."

A student couldn't help but mutter in a trembling voice.

The robed figure paid no attention to the reactions around him and walked straight towards the gate.

"Stop!" The guard at the gate braced himself and blocked the path.

"It's me." The robed figure raised a hand and removed his hood.

"You are... Tang San?!" The guard couldn't help but exclaim after seeing his face clearly.

Tang San was a prominent figure in Shrek Academy, and the veteran guard recognized him at a glance.

However, at this moment, Tang San's aura was dozens of times more terrifying than it had been three years ago. His face had matured, and the chill radiating from him made the guard's heart tremble.

"Yes, I need to go in and find the Dean."

Tang San frowned slightly, seemingly struggling to suppress something.

"O-okay."

The guard quickly stepped aside, forcing a stiff smile onto his face.

Tang San nodded slightly, forcefully suppressing the violent emotions within him, and walked into the academy.

Having lost Tang Hao's guidance, he had no idea how to suppress the terrifying Killing Intent within his body. With nowhere else to go, he could only return to Shrek Academy for the time being.

Along the way, many students recognized Tang San, but they were all frightened by the biting Killing Intent surrounding him and stopped in their tracks, only daring to watch from afar. No one dared to approach him.

Tang San ignored this and walked straight towards the Dean's office.

...

Knock, knock, knock—the door to the Dean's office was knocked upon.

"Come in." Flender's voice came from inside.

Tang San took a deep breath and pushed open the door: "Dean."

"You are... Tang San?!"

Flender's pupils constricted, and he stood up abruptly from his seat.

"It's me." Tang San nodded.

"That's great! You brat, you've finally returned!"

A smile instantly bloomed on Flender's face as he walked around the desk, striding towards Tang San.

"Dean, don't come any closer!"

Tang San spoke abruptly, and the Killing Intent around him surged uncontrollably.

Flender's forward steps halted instantly. He felt a bone-chilling cold instantly envelop him, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He was already a Spirit Douluo, yet he could still be suppressed by this aura; he couldn't help but feel extremely shocked.

"Tang San, is your Killing Intent still not under control?"

Flender steadied himself, furrowed his brows tightly, and asked with concern.

"Dean, how did you know?"

Tang San's tone became a bit more urgent upon hearing this.

After he left Slaughter City, the Killing Intent around him was completely out of control. He hadn't dared to return until recently, when he had finally managed to gain some slight control.

Flender said slowly: "It's like this. After you went to Slaughter City, I wrote a letter to Xiaogang. In his reply, he mentioned some information about Slaughter City. You must have come out after achieving one hundred victories there, right?"

"Yes, Dean." Tang San nodded slightly.

"As expected of Xiaogang, I didn't expect everything he said to be completely accurate."

Flender couldn't help but exclaim, a look of admiration appearing on his face. The knowledge Xiaogang possessed was truly far beyond that of ordinary people.

It was just that he didn't know everything about Slaughter City had been told to Yu Xiaogang by Bibi Dong.

"Then, did Teacher say how to control the Killing Intent?"

Tang San stared into Flender's eyes; this was his only hope right now.

"He didn't mention that." Flender shook his head, then added, "However, your aunt might have a way."

"Aunt?" Tang San's brows furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

He had never heard his father, Tang Hao, mention that he had an aunt.

Flender said: "It's like this. At the time, you used the Clear Sky Hammer during the Soul Master Tournament, and this information reached the Clear Sky Sect. Your uncle, the current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao, once came to Shrek Academy in secret to confirm your identity with me. Unfortunately, you had already gone to Slaughter City by then. I also told him that His Excellency Haotian had been killed by people from Spirit Hall, but it's a pity..."

Flender sighed and continued: "Your uncle told me that the Clear Sky Sect was suppressed quite severely by Spirit Hall back then, and afterwards, they remained in seclusion. They had an agreement with Spirit Hall that as long as the Clear Sky Sect did not emerge, Spirit Hall would not take action against them. As the Sect Master, he has to consider the Sect first, so your uncle currently has no way to help your father take revenge, and he hopes you can understand. However, before Sect Master Tang Xiao left, he specifically instructed me that after you emerged from Slaughter City, you would most likely be unable to suppress the Killing Intent within you. If you returned, he told you to go to Moon Pavilion to find your aunt; she has a way to help you."

"What... I really still have family?" Tang San stood there, stunned.

Ever since Xiao Wu and his father were killed by people from Spirit Hall, he had thought he was already all alone, with no more attachments in this world.

Tang San suddenly snapped back to reality: "Dean, I want to go find my aunt."

"How about this, I will go with you."

Flender looked at Tang San's current state and really couldn't set his mind at ease.

"Okay." Tang San nodded slightly.

The two walked out of the Dean's office one after another, but they always kept some distance between them.

"Dean, where are Boss Dai and the others?" Tang San asked while walking.

Flender replied: "They should be in the academy Cultivating right now. You know, Mubai and Zhuqing don't dare to return to the Star Luo Empire, so they have been staying in the academy. The Star Luo royal family once came to demand them, but after all, this is the Heaven Dou Empire, and with old guys like me and Zhao Wuji here, they didn't dare to make a big scene. Oscar has now found his other half; it's the substitute member of your former team, Jiang Zhu. The two of them have a very good relationship now. Hongjun has also become much more steady and is no longer as rash as he used to be. It's just that his 'that place' is gone, and he has completely slimmed down now, although his behavior is a bit..."

Flender gave a dry laugh and continued: "As for Rongrong, ever since the Soul Master Tournament ended, she hasn't returned to the academy once, and there has been no contact since. I don't know how she is doing now."

Flender stopped and turned to look at Tang San: "Tang San, do you want to go see Mubai and the others first?"

"No." Tang San shook his head, saying bitterly, "My Killing Intent is very unstable right now. I'm afraid of hurting them."

"That's true." Flender nodded in understanding and said no more.

The two chatted along the way, slowly walking out of the academy gate and heading in the direction of Moon Pavilion...
