The temperature in the room began to drop.
Yu Xiaogang's face grew increasingly pale, and even the breath he exhaled seemed capable of freezing the air into ice shards.
He gripped the table with both hands, only then managing to steady his trembling body somewhat.
"Nothing... nothing."
"Since you're doing this for the academy, then go to the training grounds!"
Meeting Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's concerned gazes, Yu Xiaogang feared hearing any more words he did not want to hear from the two women.
With a sallow face, he spoke with great difficulty.
He did not want to touch those nightmare memories ever again.
"Master, are you really alright?" Xiao Wu asked worriedly.
Yu Xiaogang forcibly composed his expression, and his twitching body eased somewhat. "I'm fine. Let's go!"
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong exchanged glances, the slyness in their eyes tinged with disappointment.
But before long, sweet smiles curled across the two women's lips as they silently agreed on their next little trick.
A quarter of an hour later.
Shrek Academy's simulated training grounds.
Though nightmares still haunted him, Yu Xiaogang was doing his utmost to maintain the bearing of a great master.
One hand rested behind his back, while the other was clenched into a fist before him.
If his body had not twitched every so often, he would have looked perfectly convincing.
"Xiao Wu, Rongrong, you may begin," Yu Xiaogang said unnaturally.
Ning Rongrong nodded. "Then, Master, I'll assist Xiao Wu using Heart Separation Control and demonstrate my soul skills before you!"
"I'm already a level 42 Soul Ancestor. Although my Heart Separation Control has only reached Three-Aperture Heart Control, even so, enhancing three soul skills at once is still rather difficult."
"I hope you can give me some guidance after seeing it. I want to know where I'm going wrong."
As soon as she finished speaking,
Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance with Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu moved to one side, looking as though she were about to make a move in the Soul Master Competition.
Ning Rongrong stood a short distance away from Xiao Wu, precisely in the position she should have occupied during a match.
"Seven Treasures Exuding Glazed Tile, Nine-Layered Nine-Colored Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
The upgraded Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in Ning Rongrong's palm.
At the same time, Ning Rongrong's Soul Power began to surge forth.
"Nine Treasures have names, first is strength!"
"Nine Treasures have names, second is speed!"
Very quickly, both support effects were applied to Xiao Wu at the same time.
Xiao Wu perked up and charged toward a wooden post some distance beside Yu Xiaogang, shouting softly, "First soul skill, Waist Bow!"
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong hurriedly said, "Master, watch closely. It's when I use the third enhancement that it feels somewhat unnatural."
"Xiao Wu and I tested it. That unnatural feeling affects Xiao Wu's attacks even after she receives the enhancement."
The two women continued coordinating with each other.
Just as Xiao Wu was about to attack, Ning Rongrong immediately began casting her third soul skill after finishing her words.
"Nine Treasures have names, third is... soul!"
The enhancement from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda descended.
As Xiao Wu activated her first soul skill, she gave another soft shout. "Third soul skill, Teleportation!"
To cooperate with the awkwardness Ning Rongrong had described, Xiao Wu deliberately shortened the distance toward Yu Xiaogang considerably as she teleported.
She had originally intended to attack the wooden post some distance from Yu Xiaogang, but now she nearly crashed into him instead.
Sensing Xiao Wu hurtling toward him, though she was clearly still some distance away,
the instant her shadow fell over him, Yu Xiaogang's hard-won composure turned pale again.
The feeling was like being forced forward at spearpoint by Heaven Dou soldiers in his dreams.
Both the hand behind his back and the fist before him involuntarily moved to shield his crotch.
At the same time, his body bent over like a shrimp, pain written across his face.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Xiao Wu crashed into the wooden post nearby. Seeing Yu Xiaogang suddenly curl up like a shrimp, she hurriedly ran over.
Ning Rongrong also jogged over at once, looking extremely concerned.
"Nothing... nothing."
"I'm just feeling a little unwell."
Yu Xiaogang answered with great difficulty.
He panted heavily, cold sweat dripping from his forehead bead by bead.
"Headmaster Flender, what happened to Master?"
At that moment, Wei Feng happened to appear there.
At his side, Flender, the headmaster of Shrek Academy, was showing him the way.
Flender wore an odd expression. Seeing Yu Xiaogang in such an unnatural state, he was somewhat baffled.
Xiaogang hadn't been like this yesterday! "Perhaps Master is feeling unwell. Xiao Wu and Rongrong should take good care of him."
"Your Highness the Saint Son, regarding your investment in our academy, let's go to the headmaster's office and discuss it in detail first!"
Flender said eagerly.
Though he was worried about Yu Xiaogang's condition, he could not bear to let go of Wei Feng's offer to invest in the academy.
Thinking that Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong would look after Yu Xiaogang, he decisively intended to lead Wei Feng away.
"There's no rush."
"Master is, after all, an Honorary Elder of our Spirit Hall. Since he's unwell, I ought to visit and offer my concern."
Wei Feng replied warmly, then walked toward Yu Xiaogang.
Hehe, I didn't expect to actually see Yu Xiaogang's aftereffects. These aftereffects are seriously powerful!
I originally came here under the pretext of investing in Shrek Academy and thought I would have to put in some effort before I could see Yu Xiaogang. Who would have thought I'd run into Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong asking Yu Xiaogang for training guidance?
Tsk, even the heavens are helping me. I get to see Yu Xiaogang curled up like a shrimp at just the right moment. I give this psychological trauma full marks. (Yu Xiaogang curled up like a shrimp.jpg)
But Xiao Wu, my wife, and Rongrong, my wife, really are something. Why did they have to ask Yu Xiaogang for training guidance today? Aren't they making things difficult for our Master Yu Xiaogang?
Mm, I am, after all, the current Saint Son of Spirit Hall, while Yu Xiaogang is an Honorary Elder of Spirit Hall. I absolutely cannot allow such "terrible" things to continue!
Caring for elders starts with me!
The Women reading the Diary Instance saw the contents update.
Seeing that Wei Feng had truly gone to Shrek Academy, every one of them could not help but feel speechless.
Wei Feng, it really could only be you! You said you were going to see Yu Xiaogang's aftereffects, and you actually went!
Why else would Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong do this if not because of what you exposed in the Diary Instance?
Even as they complained inwardly, they saw that Wei Feng was unusually saying in the Diary Instance that he intended to stop Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's "terrible" behavior.
Knowing exactly what kind of person Wei Feng was, their expressions turned strange when they read this. Not one of them believed him.
If someone else said they would stop it, they might truly mean it.
But when you, Wei Feng, say it...
We simply can't believe you!
Caring for elders starts with you, Wei Feng?
You're definitely up to no good again!
