Since Xiaogang wasn't taking the initiative, then she would take it herself.
She had had enough of living like this!
Liu Erlong had always wanted to find Yu Xiaogang, but she had been held back by a woman's modesty and pride, as well as a lingering resentment over Yu Xiaogang abandoning her back then.
But now, under the influence of some mysterious force, Liu Erlong suddenly figured it out...
"I don't know where he is, but Flender definitely does. I need to find Flender first."
With her thoughts cleared, Liu Erlong could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. She was even somewhat impatient.
She might not have known where Yu Xiaogang was, but she knew that Flender was at Shrek Academy.
The moment Liu Erlong thought of this, she hurried back to her room, quickly packed her daily necessities, and directly left Blue Tyrant Academy and Heaven Dou City.
She was going to pursue her love!
At the same time.
Soul Hunting Forest.
Yu Xiaogang sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes tightly shut.
Before him, a purple Soul Ring was gradually dissipating.
Beside him, Flender stared fixedly at Yu Xiaogang with a tense expression, cold sweat even beading on his forehead.
Just a few days ago, Yu Xiaogang had suddenly told him that he had broken through to level 30!
Flender had been utterly shocked at the time!
After all, due to the flaw in Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, his cultivation had been permanently stuck at level 29.
Back when the Golden Iron Triangle had traveled the continent, one reason had been to gain experience, while the other had been to find a way for Yu Xiaogang to break through.
But the three of them had searched nearly the entire continent without finding any clues. Later, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong broke up, and only then did the three go their separate ways.
Yu Xiaogang gradually became dispirited, making a breakthrough even more impossible.
Yet Flender had never expected that after Yu Xiaogang came to Shrek Academy and taught for a little over a month, he would suddenly break through.
That was rather absurd.
Still, shocked as he was, as Yu Xiaogang's good brother, he was happy about Yu Xiaogang's breakthrough.
So he personally brought Yu Xiaogang to the Soul Hunting Forest and selected a Thousand-Year Soul Ring for him.
Yu Xiaogang was already advanced in years, and his physique was too weak. The thousand-year soul beasts in Star Dou Forest were too powerful; he might not have been able to absorb one.
That was why Flender had brought Yu Xiaogang to this Soul Hunting Forest.
They were both thousand-year soul beasts, but the ones raised in Soul Hunting Forest were far gentler, and their Soul Rings were easier to absorb.
"Buzz—"
At that moment, Flender suddenly felt a strange fluctuation.
He turned his head and saw that the Thousand-Year Soul Ring before Yu Xiaogang had been completely absorbed.
Yellow, yellow, purple—three Soul Rings slowly rose beneath Yu Xiaogang.
The golden, fat pig Three-Eyed Golden Lion also appeared before Yu Xiaogang.
However, although Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still fat, its body had become slightly more robust, its fur glossy and gleaming, giving it an inexplicably imposing air!
"Hahaha! Xiaogang! Congratulations on advancing to Soul Elder!"
Flender grabbed Yu Xiaogang in an embrace, overwhelmed with joy to the point of tears!
"Flender, I finally broke through! Thank you!" Yu Xiaogang tightly embraced Flender as well, tears streaming down his face.
He had waited more than twenty years for this day!
He had thought he would remain stuck at level 29 for the rest of his life.
But heaven never barred all paths. He, Yu Xiaogang, was also a man of great fortune. By chance, he had obtained the heaven-defying technique, the Sunflower Manual, allowing him to defy fate, change his destiny, and break through his limit!
Moreover, he felt that the Sunflower Manual's limits went far beyond this.
If he could continue cultivating, perhaps he might even have a chance to advance into the Soul Ancestor realm someday!
"Xiaogang, how exactly did you do it?"
Though Flender was delighted, he ultimately could not help asking.
"It's a long story... I happened upon a fortunate encounter, and that was the only reason I managed to break through by luck."
Yu Xiaogang gave a bitter smile.
It was not that he did not want to tell Flender, but Flender probably would not believe him even if he did.
After all, only he himself could cultivate the technique in his mind, and he could not pass on even the slightest part of it.
"Good, good, good. As long as you didn't use some forbidden method." Flender laughed heartily, immediately relieved.
They had previously found some forbidden methods that could forcibly enable a breakthrough, but the side effects were immense. At best, they would cost someone more than ten years of their lifespan; at worst, they would cause all cultivation to be lost, or even result in sudden death on the spot.
That was why Yu Xiaogang had never used those methods.
Now that Flender saw Yu Xiaogang full of vigor, he assumed that he had truly gained some excellent opportunity and broken through because of it.
"Alright, Flender. Let's head back first." Yu Xiaogang waved his hand. Seemingly recalling something, his mood inexplicably became a little gloomy.
As his cultivation progressed, he had vaguely guessed the Sunflower Manual's side effect, but he had never dared believe it...
"Haha, let's go, let's go! We'll head back and celebrate properly!" Flender did not notice Yu Xiaogang's abnormality and pulled him out of Soul Hunting Forest.
Shrek Academy.
Late at night.
After celebrating with Flender, Yu Xiaogang had drunk quite a bit and staggered back to his room.
After taking off his clothes, Yu Xiaogang entered the bathroom and used the cold shower water to sober himself up a little...
Yet Yu Xiaogang's face only grew paler.
All kinds of lewd images flashed rapidly through his mind, forcibly stirring the flames of desire within him.
"Is it... really not getting up anymore...??"
"How could this happen... How could this happen..."
Yu Xiaogang's mentality completely collapsed, and he dropped onto the floor.
The icy water struck his body, leaving his heart cold.
Before, in order to break through and cast off the label of "trash," he had cultivated desperately and subconsciously ignored this minor issue.
But now, although he had successfully broken through, he had completely lost a man's ability...
"Something unimportant... Hehehe... something unimportant..." Yu Xiaogang tilted his head back, a self-mocking bitter smile on his face.
At last, he understood the Sunflower Manual's side effect...
Unfortunately, he had already begun cultivating it, and this side effect could not be reversed...
Fortunately, he was already over fifty.
Bibi Dong even had a child...
Liu Erlong had probably gotten married too...
He had long since let go of everything and seen through everything.
In any case, no one would find out...
"Wuwuwu..."
Though Yu Xiaogang comforted himself like this in his heart, he ultimately could not hold it in. He burst into tears, weeping like rain, with an inexplicable pain in his balls.
Seeing Through Qian Renxue
Half a month later.
Heaven Dou City, Moonlight Pavilion.
As the imperial etiquette academy of the Heaven Dou Empire, Moonlight Pavilion only admitted one hundred students each year. For those hundred spots, nobles from across the Heaven Dou Empire nearly fought their way in.
If Moonlight Pavilion were placed in Blue Star from Ye Feng's previous life, it would be equivalent to a top foreign university. As long as one graduated successfully, it was like being gilded in gold.
Moonlight Pavilion's annual graduation ceremony invited the most prominent nobles and officials in all of Heaven Dou City to attend.
As the youngest Heaven Dou-level teacher at Heaven Dou Academy, Ye Feng's reputation had spread through Heaven Dou City during the past half month, attracting considerable attention. Moreover, word of Ye Feng's relationship with Dugu Bo had gotten out, allowing Ye Feng to enter the upper circles of Heaven Dou City.
This time, Ye Feng had unexpectedly received an invitation to attend the ceremony.
As the graduation ceremony began.
A stunningly beautiful mature woman dressed in silver court robes slowly stepped onto the stage with a smile on her face. She was none other than Moonlight Pavilion's mistress—Tang Yuehua.
Although Tang Yuehua could never break through level 10 in her lifetime, her talent in music was unmatched. Since establishing Moonlight Pavilion, Tang Yuehua's status had steadily risen.
It was said that in her younger days, even the current emperor had once been romantically involved with Tang Yuehua.
Of course, it had only been Xue Ye's unrequited love.
Tang Yuehua was obsessed with her brother. Her heart had long been taken by Tang Hao, so naturally there was no room for anyone else.
In the end, Xue Ye naturally failed. Tang Yuehua gave Xue Ye face and naturally did not make the matter public.
As a result, rumors still spread outside that Tang Yuehua and Xue Ye had an affair...
As Tang Yuehua appeared, young men and women dressed in silver began entering one after another.
Every one of them wore an elegant, confident smile. Every gesture exuded noble grace, making the guests repeatedly turn to look.
Ye Feng was among the guests, but he did not look at these little brats, nor did he look at the charming Tang Yuehua. Instead, his gaze drifted among the guests.
Very soon, he spotted a man in a moon-white robe sitting in the very center.
The man looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He was tall and upright, and though he could not be called handsome, he gave off a refreshing feeling. A faint smile rested on his lips at all times, making him appear exceptionally gentle.
Ye Feng had investigated beforehand and recognized him at a glance. He was the crown prince of the Heaven Dou imperial family—Xue Qinghe.
Of course, more accurately, he was Qian Renxue.
Under normal observation, her disguise was practically flawless. Even though Ye Feng knew she was disguised as "Qian Renxue," he could not find the slightest flaw.
"I wonder whether my Star Eye can see through it..." Ye Feng suddenly thought of something and immediately activated Star Eye.
The next instant, Ye Feng's pupils turned a faint silvery white, stars swirling within them as the world before his eyes underwent a subtle change.
He looked at Xue Qinghe again and discovered that Xue Qinghe's "body" had vanished, replaced by a thin layer of mist.
Clearly, this mist was her disguise.
Ye Feng intensified his vision, instantly piercing through the mist and revealing the scene within...
It was a stunningly beautiful blonde woman with delicate, fair skin and exquisite, flawless features. Her dark golden eyes carried a sacred, inviolable air.
His gaze moved downward.
Mm, quite impressive in scale.
His gaze moved downward again...
"Mm, I really didn't do it on purpose..."
Ye Feng rubbed his nose, fortunate that he had not gotten a nosebleed.
This was his first time using Star Eye. He had not expected to see so clearly.
Even a small mole on her left breast, along with her tiny pores, was clearly visible.
It was as if he were holding a magnifying glass right in front of her and examining her closely.
The feeling immediately gave Ye Feng a headache.
