"The vertical eye between my brows is a Mental System External Soul Bone called the Magic Spider Compound Eye. It's through this that I can guide my spiritual power outwards in advance."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Flender and Liu Erlong's expressions became even more shocked.
Ordinary Soul Masters would fight tooth and nail for a regular Soul Bone, yet here was an extremely rare External Soul Bone appearing before them, and it was a Mental System External Soul Bone at that. This was equivalent to directly fast-tracking a Soul Master to the Soul Douluo realm.
But as the Golden Iron Triangle, the bond between the three had long been tested. Regarding Yu Xiaogang obtaining an External Soul Bone, the two could only offer their blessings in their hearts.
One was happy for his brother, and the other, as his lover, naturally felt the same.
"Xiao Gang, you'll need to dedicate some of your energy to cultivation from now on. With this Soul Bone and Xiao San's Immortal Medicine, there's definitely a possibility of breaking through to higher realms," Flender said seriously.
"I understand. After I send off this batch of students, including Xiao San, I'll focus my energy on cultivation."
Yu Xiaogang patted Flender and Liu Erlong on the shoulders, then said, "Our auras are currently masked by spiritual power. Under the amplification of the Golden Triangle Formation, even a Soul Douluo can't easily detect us. Shi Nian, even as a Soul Saint with a Mental System Martial Soul, won't be able to track our whereabouts."
"Let's hurry and catch up, lest Xiao San be in any danger."
After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, the three immediately chased after Tang San's figure ahead.
Because of the spiritual power masking, the figures of Yu Xiaogang and the other two had now completely disappeared from everyone's sight. Even the light passed through them as if they had vanished from this world.
This was the aura masking after spiritual power was projected outwards. Only by being detected by spiritual power of the same level could they be found.
Following the footsteps of the two ahead, Yu Xiaogang and the other two passed through the streets of the inner city and arrived at the commercial district of the outer city.
After circling the commercial district several times, they finally walked out of the city gates.
"This old fellow is quite cautious. Unfortunately, he's just being clever and digging his own grave," Yu Xiaogang grumbled silently in his heart. The three continued to follow them out of the city.
After another series of twists and turns, both parties finally stopped in a small grove within a valley outside the city.
In the grove, Shi Nian released the restraint of his martial soul, freeing Tang San from the Illusion Realm.
Seeing that he had been lured into a small grove, Tang San immediately condemned the human trafficker Shi Nian and tried to probe Shi Nian's intentions.
Shi Nian then revealed his signature villainous smile, "You thought being near Heaven Dou City would make me hesitate? You youngsters think too much. If I kill you here, no one will ever know."
"Is that so?"
Accompanying a hoarse voice, Yu Xiaogang and the other two suddenly descended from the sky, landing in three corners around Tang San, shielding him within.
Shi Nian's face showed surprise, and he stared wide-eyed at the three opposite him.
"You three again, ruining my good deeds. Damn it," Shi Nian said through gritted teeth.
"What? Not only do you not kneel to greet your teacher, but you also try to take your teacher's life? Truly rebellious."
Yu Xiaogang stood at the very front, speaking to distract Shi Nian while channeling his mental power and soul power towards the Magic Spider Compound Eye in his glabella.
"Teacher? Yu Xiaogang, you truly deserve the title of 'Master'. Even the elders of the Martial Soul Hall couldn't solve my martial soul problem back then, and I never expected you, in your twenties, to propose a complete solution."
Shi Nian's face showed a look of reminiscence, then he continued, "You can probably guess that I've set my sights on the participating students of Blue Sunshine Academy this time. But do you know what my greatest goal is?"
Shi Nian laughed a few times, his face filled with ferocity, and his seventh soul ring emitted a deep glow.
"My greatest goal is to personally kill you, the Golden Iron Triangle, to wash away the shame of my failure in the ruins back then."
"Jie jie jie..."
A familiar sinister laugh echoed from all directions. A fierce white light flashed, and Shi Nian's figure in front of him disappeared. In an instant, the scene changed.
Familiar buildings appeared before his eyes. Yu Xiaogang looked around and found himself back in the territory of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan, standing on the assembly plaza of Dragon Head Mountain.
"Yu Xiaogang, as the son of the Clan Leader, your talent is so poor, and you've consumed so many of the family's resources. Do you know your crime!"
"As the son of the Clan Leader, not only can you not bring fame to the family, but you also took it upon yourself to study theoretical knowledge. You truly bring shame to the family!"
"The family's cultivation system has been passed down for hundreds of years. Do you, an unworthy piece of trash, want to change it? You are truly betraying your ancestors and teachers!"
"You are not worthy of being a member of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
On the assembly plaza, several clan elders repeatedly accused Yu Xiaogang, who was standing below. The numerous clan members in the plaza also cast looks of disdain towards him.
Yu Xiaogang looked at himself and found that he was currently wearing the disciple's attire of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan. He then looked around the plaza.
Familiar scenery met his eyes. A hint of nostalgia flickered in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, followed by a hint of determination.
"I will return here soon."
Then, he turned his head to look towards the front of the plaza. "You old geezers can shut up for now."
After speaking, a purple vertical eye opened in his glabella, and the Spirit Shock, which had been building up for a long time, was unleashed.
Boom!
A powerful mental fluctuation instantly crushed the Illusion Realm before him. The figures and buildings on the scene shattered, followed by the heavens and earth collapsing with rumbling sounds.
Another intense white light flashed, and everyone returned to the forest.
Pfft!
Shi Nian, whose martial soul had been broken, spat out a mouthful of blood and said with unconcealed unwillingness, "How is this possible? Even if your Golden Iron Triangle can use Martial Soul Fusion Skills, that's just an increase in soul power. How could such powerful mental strength be born?"
He looked Yu Xiaogang up and down, then noticed the purple vertical eye in his glabella.
"A spirit-type soul bone?"
Shi Nian seemed to understand something, then burst into maniacal laughter.
"Don't think you've already won."
A powerful Spirit Power Fluctuation emanated from Shi Nian's body. After his Dao heart was shattered, this old geezer actually intended to self-destruct on the spot.
And just at this moment, a black streak of light cut a beautiful arc through the air, precisely piercing into Shi Nian's eye socket.
The expression on Shi Nian's face instantly froze. The Spirit Power Fluctuation on his body rapidly receded. His entire being instantly turned completely black, then dissolved into a pool of black liquid.
This King of Hell's Post is truly overbearing!
Witnessing a Soul Saint turn into a pool of black water after being hit by the King of Hell's Post, Yu Xiaogang still suffered a considerable visual shock.
Tang San slowly walked out from between the three. After explaining the effect of the Soul-Chasing Life-Taking King of Hell's Post, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Flender suggested they leave quickly, lest Shi Nian had left any backup plans, as this old geezer was too insidious.
Yu Xiaogang knew there was no need to worry and then spoke to his disciple:
"Xiao San, go and see if Shi Nian left anything behind."
