Douluo: I Achieve Supremacy with Life Blue Silver Grass

"Got it, Xiao San!"

Seeing just how weak and barely conscious Yu Xiaogang looked, Oscar quickly summoned his Martial Soul and chanted the incantation.

He activated his first Spirit Ability: Recovery Sausage.

In no time, several large, steaming sausages appeared in his hands, and he quickly passed them to Tang San.

"Teacher, eat this!"

Tang San immediately brought the sausage to Yu Xiaogang's lips, intending to feed it to him.

But before he could assist, Yu Xiaogang instinctively swallowed the sausage in one go—without even chewing.

Tang San froze in place.

Nearby, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar also stood stunned.

"Damn... Oscar's Recovery Sausage isn't exactly small..."

"And he just swallowed it whole?"

Ma Hongjun's eyes bulged. He muttered to himself, clearly shocked.

Dai Mubai felt a cold shiver run down his spine. Without saying a word, he quietly stepped a few paces away from Yu Xiaogang.

Then Ma Hongjun's gaze landed on a suspicious white stain on Yu Xiaogang's clothes.

His chubby face twitched. He too backed away.

Only Tang San remained oblivious.

Although he noticed his teacher wasn't chewing, he didn't think too much of it—until he saw that Yu Xiaogang's teeth were all missing.

Tang San's heart twisted in pain and fury.

He assumed his teacher had been brutally tortured after being kidnapped. No teeth meant he couldn't chew, after all.

"Teacher... eat slowly."

Filled with grief, Tang San fed Yu Xiaogang over ten Recovery Sausages in a row.

Only then did a hint of color return to the man's pale face.

This only confirmed Tang San's fears:

His teacher had clearly been starved to the brink of death, and must have endured cruel torment over the past month.

To dare treat his teacher like this...

Those three perverts were already on Tang San's death list!

The flames of hatred surged in his heart.

To help his teacher recover, Tang San carried Yu Xiaogang on his back, returning him to the house where he'd been staying.

He placed him gently on the bed and even began boiling medicinal porridge to nourish him—taking great care with every step.

Meanwhile, back at Shrek Academy—

After the group had found Yu Xiaogang at the village entrance and Tang San brought him back to rest, Dai Mubai took Ma Hongjun and Oscar to notify Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the other instructors.

The students had been up early for their weighted training, but the teachers weren't scheduled to head into Soto City until after breakfast.

So luckily, they were still at the academy.

When Flender heard that his old friend Yu Xiaogang had been found, he was ecstatic.

Shouting with excitement, he sprinted full speed toward Yu Xiaogang's residence.

"Xiaogang! Xiaogang!"

Kicking open the door, Flender rushed in.

Even though the stench coming off Yu Xiaogang nearly knocked him over, Flender was too relieved to care.

Seeing his old friend lying unconscious on the bed—still breathing—filled him with joy.

It had been nearly a month with no word. He had feared the worst.

If Yu Xiaogang had been killed...

Not only would Flender have grieved—Liu Erlong would be devastated beyond words.

He couldn't even imagine that outcome.

Now that Yu Xiaogang was safe... it was the best news he could ask for.

"Headmaster Flender!"

Tang San rose and, his voice laced with sorrow and rage, recounted what he'd discovered:

His teacher's teeth had all been knocked out, and he had nearly starved to death.

"Those three bastards dared to torture Teacher like this..."

"We must get revenge for him!"

Flender clenched his fists, his heart full of fury.

"Don't worry, Xiao San!"

"As soon as Xiaogang wakes up and tells us who those three kidnappers are—"

"Shrek Academy will make them pay!"

At that very moment, Yu Xiaogang stirred, likely awakened by the noise.

"Water... water..."

His voice was hoarse and filled with pain.

Tang San quickly brought him a glass and carefully helped him drink.

After a few sips, Yu Xiaogang finally opened his eyes.

When he saw his student Tang San and his old friend Flender standing there, his sunken, black-ringed eyes instantly turned red.

His lips trembled with emotion.

"Xiao San... Flender..."

"I... I finally get to see you again..."

Just thinking about the horrors he'd endured at the hands of the Pervert Trio—Bu Le, E Kao, and Tian Ya—Yu Xiaogang felt an overwhelming urge to cry.

He had always prided himself on being a stoic man. A true "Master" didn't cry easily.

But this past month had been like living through hell.

A hell that had broken not just his body—but his spirit.

"Xiaogang, do you know where those three who kidnapped you are now? Or what their names are?"

"For them to torture you like this—Shrek will definitely get justice!"

Flender's heart ached at the sight of his friend and grew even more furious. He couldn't help but press the question.

"That's right, Teacher!"

"I swear—I'll avenge you!" Tang San declared, eyes blazing with righteous fury.

But then—

Yu Xiaogang suddenly fell silent. His expression changed.

Though his heart seethed with hatred—he wanted nothing more than to dismember Bu Le, E Kao, and Tian Ya—

He hesitated.

Why?

Because this entire month had been the greatest humiliation of his life.

If he brought Tang San and Flender with him to exact revenge—and those three perverts publicly revealed what had happened...

Then his reputation as the Master of Martial Soul Theory would be utterly ruined.

He would be laughed at across the entire continent.

So, biting his lip and swallowing his rage, Yu Xiaogang forced himself to say:

"Let's... just drop the matter."

"I already promised them I wouldn't pursue this—so they'd let me go."

"This whole thing... was probably just a misunderstanding."

"Xiaogang?!"

"Teacher?!"

Flender and Tang San were both dumbfounded. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.

But Yu Xiaogang held firm.

He used the excuse that as a master of Spirit Theory, his word was worth a thousand gold.

And therefore—he could not go back on it.

Though he had bowed and scraped like a worm before Bu Le and the others...

Before Tang San and Flender, Yu Xiaogang forced himself to appear proud and unwavering.

What else could he do?

In the end, Flender and Tang San could only obey his decision, albeit unwillingly.

"Teacher, your body's still weak. I cooked some medicinal porridge for you."

As if just remembering, Tang San turned and walked into the kitchen, returning with a bowl of steaming congee infused with green herbs.

"I hope it helps you recover."

But the moment Yu Xiaogang laid eyes on that porridge—

His face changed dramatically.

"Take it away!! Take it away now!!"

His reaction was instant—panic and horror.

He screamed as if in trauma, his voice sharp and high-pitched, almost reflexive.
