Upon learning that Lin Xiao was preparing to go out for a period of training, Dugu Bo readily agreed. However, as usual, he took out some bottles and jars from his Storage Soul Tool, all containing potent poisons.
These were to be used as poison bombs during fights.
Shui Bing'er felt reluctant to part but did not try to dissuade him. Instead, she prepared to return to Heaven Water City with Shui Yue'er for a visit.
Both young girls missed their parents.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling came together and didn't say anything overly sentimental either.
Dugu Yan crossed her arms and said coolly,
"Lin Xiao, be careful outside."
Ye Lingling, however, let out a light snort.
"Don't go attracting any more young girls! You have enough already!"
Lin Xiao turned back with a smile.
"Sister Ling Ling, are you still socially anxious now?"
Ye Lingling's face instantly flushed red. She glared fiercely at Lin Xiao with her clear black and white eyes.
This was the downside of growing up together since childhood!
All the embarrassing moments were vividly clear!
...
Shrek Academy.
After the Soul Master Competition, the spirits of the Shrek Academy members were low.
The once arrogant Yu Tianheng, Dai Mubai, and others were like stray dogs, completely lifeless.
Yu Tianheng had taken to heavy drinking, spending his days in a drunken stupor.
Dai Mubai had returned to his dissolute ways, and his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing had plummeted to freezing point, even reaching the point where they treated each other like enemies upon meeting.
As for Yu Xiaogang...
Ever since meeting Bibi Dong, he claimed he wanted to sever ties with her, but his relationship with Liu Erlong was no longer as intimate as before, and he had quietly distanced himself.
It seemed he was still waiting for a better offer.
Hoping that Bibi Dong would come crawling back to him.
...
Dean's Office.
Yu Xiaogang spoke to Flender with conviction:
"Flender, I've already asked the Pope of the Spirit Hall."
"Xiao San and Clear Sky Douluo are fine! I knew it! Clear Sky Douluo is invincible in this era. Even the former Pope Qian Xunji wasn't his match back then, so how could he have fallen?"
"The reason there's been no news is likely just because the situation is too tense right now, so he's temporarily keeping a low profile."
Flender sighed, "Xiaogang, you're being too optimistic."
Yu Xiaogang hesitated for two seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Flender, I'm only telling you this! You absolutely must not tell anyone else."
"Back then, Clear Sky Douluo mentioned to me that he would take Xiao San to a place to train in the future, and that training place... is the same place Clear Sky Douluo took Hongjun!"
Hongjun?!
When Flender heard those two words, he shivered.
How long had it been since he'd heard any news about Ma Hongjun?
Ma Hongjun was his only disciple, after all. No matter how angry Flender was at his lack of ambition, he had always been worried about him. He had thought he would never hear from Hongjun again, but he hadn't expected...
Flender said excitedly, "Xiaogang, tell me, will I ever see Hongjun again in this lifetime?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened, and he said vaguely, "There's still a long future ahead, there will always be a chance."
He skipped over the topic and said to Flender, "Flender, just wait."
"This Soul Master Competition, our Shrek Academy became a laughingstock. But everyone underestimated Xiao San. His Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul hasn't even been given a Soul Ring yet. The Shrek Team lost, but that doesn't mean Xiao San lost!"
"One day, he will strike later and gain the upper hand!"
Flender was a little unhappy hearing this.
What did he mean, Shrek lost ≠ Tang San lost?
He had really mastered that inequality.
He said indifferently, "That Lin Xiao left a very deep impression on me. Now that he has shed his Evil Fire and become a true Phoenix, it's hard to find an opponent among his peers."
"Xiaogang, you're a little too confident in Xiao San."
Yu Xiaogang said hatefully, "That's because Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul isn't good enough, so Lin Xiao had the advantage! Sigh, forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Flender didn't want to talk anymore.
"Xiaogang, the students are about to graduate."
"I see the students are in low spirits, we should go and talk to them properly..."
When Yu Xiaogang and Flender arrived at the training ground, ready to gather the students for a meeting.
They saw someone unexpected.
"Lin Xiao?!"
In the distance, Lin Xiao seemed to be having a conflict with Dai Mubai.
The two quickly stepped forward.
...
Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting like a bull, staring fiercely at Zhu Zhuqing in front of him. He pointed at Lin Xiao beside him and cursed angrily:
"You bitch, I knew you were having an affair with this pretty boy!"
"No wonder, no wonder you refused to practice the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with me no matter what!"
"You slut who doesn't abide by women's virtues!"
"Speak! Have you already been ruined by Lin Xiao?!"
Hearing such vulgar words, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned bright red, but her fists were clenched tightly, and her eyes revealed endless disgust and hatred.
"Dai Mubai, don't think everyone is like you!"
"Aren't you disgusting?"
Dai Mubai trembled with anger.
"I'm disgusting? I've played with so many bitches, and now it seems you're not even as good as those bitches!"
"Even those bitches know to side with me!"
"Did Lin Xiao make you feel good? You're siding with him so much!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was both extremely angry and ashamed as she looked at Lin Xiao.
Her eyes were full of apology.
Today, she had taken the initiative to invite Lin Xiao to meet, saying that she had thought things through and indeed shouldn't be responsible for someone else's life. So, she shamelessly wanted Lin Xiao to give her good advice or arrange a clear path for her.
She would repay him for the rest of her life.
But...
She didn't expect Dai Mubai to be so emotional upon seeing Lin Xiao, biting at him like a mad dog. What would Lin Xiao think of this?
Would he dislike her because of it?
As soon as this thought arose in Zhu Zhuqing's mind, it became uncontrollable. She knew she had to take action now!
She bent slightly, about to start fighting with Dai Mubai.
However, Lin Xiao's figure flashed, and he quickly appeared in front of Dai Mubai. He swung both his left and right hands, delivering two smooth, powerful slaps that left Dai Mubai stunned.
The force was so great it knocked the kid silly.
"Are you a little more sober now?"
Lin Xiao stared into Dai Mubai's eyes and sneered:
"If you keep spouting vulgarities, it won't be as simple as two slaps."
Dai Mubai instantly fell silent!
His eyes widened, staring at Lin Xiao as if he had seen some kind of monster!
It was only because six soul rings lit up behind Lin Xiao!
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!
How old was this guy? Was this really a human?
Lin Xiao turned his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Helping you was just a small matter. After all, regardless of whether you are helpful to me or not, your attitude is very good. Just go directly to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and apply to join."
"From now on, completely cut ties with this guy."
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai actually temporarily suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted at Zhu Zhuqing:
"No! Zhu Zhuqing, think clearly!"
"Without me, what will you use to compete with your sister?"
Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head, confused, and said:
"Dai Mubai, did you misunderstand something?"
"It should be that without me, what will you use to compete with Dai Weisi!"
"You should work harder yourself."
Sister, I'm not serving you anymore!
