Master

With a sharp crack, Liu Yi looked over and saw Zhao Wuji forcibly break Tang San's right arm.

How despicable.

"Brother Liu Yi, I hope you can keep this matter a secret. Tang San nearly got us killed. If I didn't do something, I'd feel like something was missing."

"Haha." Liu Yi burst into laughter. So Zhao Wuji was one of his kind too.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything. Since his right arm is already broken, then his left arm should also..."

Liu Yi gave Zhao Wuji a knowing look.

Zhao Wuji smiled faintly, turned toward Tang San, and reached beneath the blanket with his right hand once more.

Early the next morning.

Xiao Wu arrived at Tang San's room very early and looked at him with heartache.

The others had more or less finished preparing. Just as Ma Hongjun was about to carry Tang San onto his back, Tang San's eyelids twitched.

Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked around.

"I... what happened to me?"

"Brother! You're finally awake!" Xiao Wu burst into tears and hurriedly threw herself into Tang San's arms.

Tang San was about to reach out and stroke Xiao Wu's scorpion braid, but he suddenly realized that he could not feel either of his hands. Waves of agonizing pain faintly surged through them.

"My... my hands?"

Xiao Wu hurriedly lifted the blanket. When she saw the two twisted, deformed arms, she froze with a hand over her mouth. They had been fine yesterday. How had they become like this today?

"Teachers, what exactly happened?"

Xiao Wu looked toward Liu Yi and Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji had just been about to speak when Liu Yi said first, "Teacher Zhao and I were keeping watch outside last night. Only that black-clothed man was inside treating Little San's injuries. Perhaps..."

Dai Mubai and the others frowned slightly. Why would treating someone require breaking both of their arms?

They had never seen a healer like that.

"Teacher Zhao, please treat him."

Behind his back, Zhao Wuji gave Liu Yi a thumbs-up. Even at a time like this, he remained calm in the face of danger. Truly the bearing of an expert.

There were not many people like this left in the Soul Master world.

Zhao Wuji walked to Tang San's side and narrowed his eyes. "Little San, it may hurt a lot. Bear with it."

Tang San nodded. "Do it."

Zhao Wuji placed his right hand on Tang San's arm. With a burst of hidden force, there was a crack, and Tang San's dislocated arm was reset.

The intense pain made Tang San tremble uncontrollably as sweat streamed down his face.

At the side, Liu Yi picked up a fan from the table and gently waved it. Zhao Wuji could have reset the arm painlessly just now. It was clear how much he had hated Tang Hao last night.

He had vented all his anger on Tang San.

The same went for the left arm.

The terrible pain nearly made Tang San pass out.

"I have a Big Recovery Sausage~" Oscar hurriedly condensed a sausage with Soul Power. Just as he was about to feed it to Tang San, Zhao Wuji turned around and stopped Oscar with one hand.

"Little San can't eat yet. For the next two hours, he must not eat anything, not even something made by a Food System Soul Master."

Oscar was somewhat confused and turned to look at Liu Yi.

When Liu Yi nodded, he threw away the sausage in his hand.

Those two hours passed in the blink of an eye for everyone else, but for Tang San, they truly felt like years.

Finally, two hours later, Oscar came over carrying a Big Recovery Sausage. Without another word, Tang San devoured it in one bite.

"His recovery is mostly complete. Let's hurry back."

Zhao Wuji stood up and looked at everyone.

"Teacher Zhao, aren't we resting a little longer?"

"No. The Dean still doesn't know how we're doing. We should return as soon as possible."

Dai Mubai nodded. "Teacher Zhao is right. Fatty, Little Ao, help Tang San into the carriage. We're leaving."

"Got it~"

After helping Tang San into the carriage, Liu Yi and Zhao Wuji sat in the same carriage.

"Haha, Brother Liu Yi, you really understand me."

Liu Yi waved a hand. "It's nothing. Mainly, I can't stand Tang Hao's actions either. This is simply paying him back in his own coin."

Zhao Wuji's lips curled upward. "Exactly. That bastard Tang Hao is far too arrogant. If I were a Titled Douluo, I'd beat him until he was crawling around looking for his teeth."

Liu Yi smiled faintly. In this life, it would be difficult for Zhao Wuji to ever reach the level of a Titled Douluo.

Even if he did, it would only be decades later. By then, he would not have much time left to live.

Zhao Wuji glanced at Tang San through the carriage, then turned back and asked quietly, "Will Tang San's injuries be discovered?"

For all his talk, when it came down to it, he was still afraid of Tang Hao. After all, Tang Hao was someone who had even dared to attack the Pope.

The fear had already taken root in his heart, making him afraid that this matter would be exposed.

Liu Yi patted Zhao Wuji's shoulder. "Don't worry. Tang Hao won't come looking for Tang San yet. Even if he finds out, would you be afraid of him?"

Zhao Wuji forced himself to remain calm, but fear was already written all over his face.

Seeing how frightened Zhao Wuji was, Liu Yi felt helpless. This guy was incapable of accomplishing anything great.

Just like that, after a day of travel, they returned to Shrek Academy.

At this moment, outside Shrek Academy's gates.

Li Yusong said to Liu Yi and the other man, "The Dean informed me that once you return, you are to go to his room."

Zhao Wuji nodded. "Alright, got it. We'll go now."

Led by Zhao Wuji, the two arrived at Dean Flender's room.

At that moment, on the balcony, Flender was being exceptionally polite to a middle-aged man before him.

Liu Yi looked over. The middle-aged man appeared to be around forty. His looks were ordinary and unremarkable, and he was somewhat thin, clearly due to malnutrition.

"You're back!"

"Boss, we're back."

"Sit."

Liu Yi and Zhao Wuji sat down in their chairs.

Flender sighed. "Sigh, I was careless this time. From now on, whenever you hunt Soul Beasts, I will accompany you, along with several teachers from the Academy. If anything happens to the children, we will have failed them."

Zhao Wuji nodded. "Yes, it was far too dangerous. We never expected to encounter a top-tier Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape in the outer region of the forest, and we even ran into the Snake Woman of the Peerless Dragon Snake."

"When Xiao Wu was captured, she heard a bull's roar. That was what saved her."

Flender frowned slightly. "A bull's roar? What could that have been? Could there be a Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest capable of frightening off a top-tier Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape?"

The middle-aged man at the side said, "That bull's roar should have come from the Sky Azure Bull Python."

"Hm?" Zhao Wuji furrowed his brow and looked at the man in confusion.

Flender introduced him, "Let me introduce him. This is an old companion of mine, and also Tang San's teacher. You may call him Grandmaster."

Liu Yi smiled faintly. Sure enough, he was the renowned Grandmaster of the Soul Master world.

Though he had no strength, his wisdom was exceptional.
