Shao Xin did not spit, but he kicked the spot that was already bleeding profusely twice more.
As a dignified Food System Soul Sage, he would be an honored guest in any faction he joined. Yet this trash actually looked down on him. Was there no justice? No law?
"Alright, brothers. Change your clothes."
Their clothes had gotten bloodstained while beating Yu Xiaogang. If they did not change, would that not expose them?
The three swiftly changed their clothes and shoes. Fortunately, the clothes they usually wore were the same as what they had worn today.
"Shao Xin, go find Zhong Li. This guy can't die yet. When there's nothing to do, we can come back again... Hehehe. Have Zhong Li treat him."
After changing his clothes, Li Yusong spoke to Shao Xin, who was still changing his shoes nearby.
Shao Xin did not object. His candy beans truly had no healing abilities; most of their effects were buffs.
The fact that Zhong Li could heal injuries had already been exposed on the night he treated Tang San.
"Alright, if this guy had even a tenth of Zhong Li's—"
At this point, Shao Xin seemed to remember something. Under Li Yusong and Lu Qibin's shocked gazes, he slapped himself.
With a loud smack, Shao Xin had put real force into it.
"Fuck. How is this guy worthy of being compared to Zhong Li? Enough talk, I'm going to find Zhong Li."
With that, his chubby figure ran toward the teachers' dormitory. It was still early, so Zhong Li should not have gotten up yet. He should be in the dormitory.
Lu Qibin said nothing and silently headed toward the cafeteria. He was Shao Xin's assistant there!
Li Yusong timed things carefully, making himself look rather flustered.
"Grandmaster! What happened to you?"
His voice was so loud that it echoed into the sky. He no longer sounded like he was on his last breath...
Zhong Family F3: They were all stunned, alright? These Shrek Academy teachers were more ruthless than the last... This, this was an insult to civility...
Shao Xin had just returned to the teachers' dormitory when he saw Zhong Li opening his door, seemingly preparing to eat breakfast.
The moment Zhong Li opened the door, he saw Shao Xin walking over and asked in confusion, "Good morning, Teacher. What is it?"
At this time, should Shao Xin not be in the cafeteria?
"Ah, Zhong Li, it's nothing..."
Before Shao Xin could make up a story, Li Yusong's voice rang out from the other side.
"Grandmaster... What happened to you?"
"That's Li Yusong's voice. Zhong Li, shall we go take a look?"
Shao Xin asked tentatively.
"..."
Zhong Li nodded without thinking much of it. He had just heard Li Yusong call out for Grandmaster, so Yu Xiaogang had probably arrived.
"Alright, Teacher. Let's go."
It was not only Zhong Li and Shao Xin who went over.
The other students were also alarmed by the shout.
Tang San especially. He had just climbed onto the roof, preparing to wait for the first ray of sunlight and cultivate his Purple Demon Eye, when he heard Li Yusong shouting for Grandmaster...
His teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was called Grandmaster!
He abandoned his Purple Demon Eye cultivation and hurried toward the source of the voice.
"Who is it? Come out! Who dares cause trouble at my Shrek Academy? Get the hell out here!"
Li Yusong's furious roar came again, filled with rage, as though someone had...
Zhong Family F3: ...
After hearing that shout, everyone ran even faster toward the scene. What exactly had happened for Li Yusong to be so furious?
In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, every teacher and student still at Shrek Academy had arrived at the scene.
"Yusong, what happened?"
Lu Qibin asked with a blank look on his face.
"Teacher?"
Even though Grandmaster had been beaten into a pig's head, Tang San recognized Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground, dead or alive unknown, at a glance.
He trembled as he walked toward Yu Xiaogang.
"This is Grandmaster?"
Xiao Wu and Zhao Yun knew Yu Xiaogang, but Grandmaster now looked...
Miserable. Too miserable, truly too miserable!
He looked about the same as Tang San had at the Soul Fighting Arena that day.
The three had shown restraint. They had beaten Yu Xiaogang until he had only one breath left, but had not killed him outright.
How could Yu Xiaogang speak now? He had completely passed out.
"I went to get breakfast for Grandmaster just now. When I came back, I saw Grandmaster beaten into this state!"
Li Yusong said angrily. Together with the congee and buns scattered nearby, his words won the students' belief.
"Who ate a bear's heart and a leopard's guts, daring to come to my Shrek Academy—"
Lu Qibin also possessed the air of a master actor. He instantly summoned his Martial Soul and shouted sternly at the surroundings.
At this moment, Shao Xin, who had just walked to the side, spoke while rubbing his round face.
"Huh, so I wasn't the only one attacked? Earlier, I ran into several men in black. I was just about to stop them when one of them slapped me and told me not to meddle..."
Li Yusong, Lu Qibin: It had to be you, fatty! You must be black to the core when cut open!
Only then did the students notice that Food System Soul Sage Shao Xin really did have a red palm print on his face. Whoever had done it had used quite some force.
Zhong Li always felt there was something off about the three of them, but he could not put his finger on it.
When Yu Xiaogang first came to Shrek Academy, he had treated Zhao Wuji like that. Why had Zhao Wuji not flared up?
He was the Immovable Ming King! Was it not because Flender was there? He had given Flender some face.
Now that Flender was gone, Yu Xiaogang...
"Zhong Li, I beg you. Save my teacher! Please! You're the only one here who can save him."
Tang San instantly arrived beside Zhong Li and knelt before him.
His bond with Yu Xiaogang was extremely deep.
Ever since his Martial Soul Awakening, Tang Hao had disappeared.
For the past six years, he had treated Yu Xiaogang like a father.
"Get up first. Let me take a look."
Zhong Li did not feel much about Tang San kneeling before him. If kneeling could solve problems, then life would be quite good...
"Alright, alright. You must save my teacher!"
Zhong Li walked over to Yu Xiaogang and examined his injuries. The more he looked, the more he felt there was something wrong with those three.
Yu Xiaogang's injuries did indeed look severe. But aside from that spot, had whoever attacked him been rather restrained everywhere else?
To be continued
This Was Definitely Spirit Hall's Doing
Zhong Li examined Yu Xiaogang's injuries and shook his head.
"By universal rationality, I can treat these injuries. But for the same place where Tang San was injured, there is nothing I can do."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked and instinctively looked at Tang San.
As expected of master and disciple...
The corners of Li Yusong and the other two's mouths twitched as well. They truly had not known Tang San was Yu Xiaogang's disciple before this.
They had thought rather highly of Tang San. Even though his Martial Soul was the trash Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, he had reached Soul Elder rank at such a young age.
But now...
It was quite nice for master and disciple to be so neatly matched.
"Please save my teacher. If he becomes like me, then so be it. Being a girl isn't so bad either..."
Tang San sighed, his expression grim.
Why? Why had master and disciple suffered so horribly... Killing someone was one thing, but why torture them like this?
"Third Spirit Skill, Revival Wind."
Zhong Li said nothing more. He directly summoned the Wind Element God's Eye Martial Soul and used his Third Spirit Skill on Yu Xiaogang.
Those around him who were uninjured all felt refreshed and invigorated.
In less than ten seconds, Yu Xiaogang's injuries had almost completely recovered. Except...
Such powerful recovery ability. Next time we beat Grandmaster, we can hit him harder...
Li Yusong and the other two considered whether they could beat Yu Xiaogang even more severely next time. With Zhong Li around, he could be saved anyway. As his injuries recovered, Yu Xiaogang slowly opened his eyes.
He was still muttering, "Don't hit me... Save me, I'll never flirt around again... Please..."
"..."
Everyone looked at Yu Xiaogang speechlessly. Could he show even a little of a Spirit Master's backbone? Xiao Wu and Zhao Yun felt utterly embarrassed; they had just said they knew Grandmaster.
Tang San quickly stepped forward and hugged his teacher.
"Teacher, it's alright now. It's alright..."
Seeing Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang calm down, Li Yusong hurried forward and asked him, "Grandmaster, what happened here just now? Did you see who attacked you?"
Li Yusong's anxious appearance moved Tang San deeply.
"That's right. Teacher Shao Xin was attacked earlier as well, but it seemed that the other party was not targeting him."
Lu Qibin had already withdrawn his Martial Soul when Zhong Li used his Spirit Skill.
"I, I don't know. I had just opened this door when I was knocked unconscious from behind. They put my head into a black sack, then kept beating me..."
Grandmaster told them everything he knew. He had not suspected Li Yusong and the other two. Could these country bumpkins under Flender possibly dare lay hands on him?
"Hm?"
As he spoke, Grandmaster finally realized the severity of the situation. Even if it had only been an inch or two, he could still feel it!
He reached down and touched it. It really was gone!
Still somewhat dazed just moments ago, he instantly sobered up.
When he was beaten, the pain of it shattering had awakened him. Later, he fainted again. It had simply been too painful.
He had not paid attention to how the injuries on the rest of his body had healed.
Tang San then told Yu Xiaogang about what Shao Xin had "encountered."
"I understand now. Spirit Hall must have done this. Bibi Dong, you ruthless woman. You actually sent people to cripple me."
Yu Xiaogang had also "figured it out." No wonder they had not killed him outright. They wanted him to become like her!
"Bibi Dong?"
Some people knew that name, while others did not.
Upon hearing the name, Xiao Wu was filled with rage. Her mother had been hunted down by Bibi Dong.
