Trying to Show Off, Only to Be...

"Which of you is Ye Qinghe?" Flender's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he swept over the members of the Imperial Team, causing Yu Feng, Osler, and the others to tremble involuntarily.

"It's me." Ye Qinghe stepped forward without fear.

"So you're the one who hit my student?" Flender stared coldly at Ye Qinghe, his surprise growing as he looked at the boy. This kid looked to be about the same age as Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong.

He was able to completely overpower Dai Mubai's lower body; unsurprisingly, he was also the Black Tiger Soul Master who defeated Dai Mubai yesterday.

Such talent should have belonged to Shrek, making him the Seventh Shrek Seven Monsters.

But he shouldn't have, absolutely shouldn't have, destroyed Dai Mubai's bell.

This is no different from depriving Dai Mubai of his future, because the Star Luo Imperial Family would never choose a eunuch as the crown prince.

Yu Xiaogang spoke up at this moment, glancing contemptuously at Ye Qinghe before saying indifferently, "It shouldn't be him. His Innate Soul Power is only level three, and his Martial Soul is just the most ordinary Beast Martial Soul, the War Tiger, not the mutated Black Tiger martial Martial Soul. Moreover, even if he forcibly increased it using drugs with side effects, he still couldn't defeat Mu Bai."

Upon hearing this, Flender immediately showed a look of disappointment and disdain. So, he's just a sickly person after all.

The other Shrek members suddenly realized that if the increase was forcibly achieved through drugs, then it made sense.

Otherwise, it would be utterly absurd for someone to Soul Power higher than Dai Mubai at the age of twelve or thirteen.

As for the members of the Imperial Fighting Team, their gazes towards Yu Xiaogang grew increasingly disdainful. It was clearly Ye Qinghe who defeated Dai Mubai, yet here it was no longer the case. And what about the claim of him forcibly boosting his stats with drugs containing side effects? If that were true, could they possibly fool the three Soul Douluo instructors of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

Even if the three education committee members didn't notice, could someone whose strength was boosted by drugs really defeat the former captain Yu Tianheng, as soon as they joined the Imperial Fighting Team?

"Heh, who do we have here? It's that infamous Grandmaster from the Nuoding Academy. No wonder he taught Tang San, who Innate Full Soul Power, to become Grandmaster Blue Silver Boy. What, you couldn't stay at the Nuoding Academy anymore, so you've come to Suotuo City to cause trouble again? And judging by your hip distance, it seems you did give birth to that child. Amazing, truly amazing. I knew you were pregnant as soon as I saw your big belly. But then again, for a grown man like you to be able to get pregnant is truly a miracle in human history."

Ye Qinghe, true to form, dropped a bombshell, revealing Yu Xiaogang's dark past.

"Pregnant?" Everyone, including Flender, instinctively looked at Yu Xiaogang's lower body. Indeed, the distance between her hips was frighteningly wide. A fist the size of a sandbag could fit in the middle.

Ma Hongjun looked at Yu Xiaogang with a strange expression. "Grandmaster, could it be that Da Yu'er and Xiao Yu'er are you..."

According to Tang San, Da Yu'er and Xiao Yu'er were born to Yu Xiaogang and one of his confidantes, who died after their birth. However, it now appears that this is not the case.

"Shut up." Yu Xiaogang instantly turned red.

"Hongjun, stop talking nonsense." Although Flender also had some doubts, he still chose to protect his old friend's reputation.

Yu Xiaogang glared at Ye Qinghe and said, "We're talking about how you used drugs with side effects to enhance your strength, don't change the subject."

[Yu Xiaogang's resentment +1288888]

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's exasperated appearance, the members of Imperial Team and the onlookers immediately revealed a mocking expression. It seems that what Ye Qinghe said was true; this so-called Grandmaster really had given birth.

"Calling you a liar is an understatement. You have absolutely no basis to claim that I used drugs with side effects to enhance my strength, and the worst part is that you actually believed it. To be able to fool yourself, you're quite the genius. But speaking of side effects, shouldn't we first mention your disciple Tang San? He's several months older than me, but he's only 1.3 meters tall. He's shorter than most Soul Master his age, not even comparable to a twelve or thirteen-year-old."

Ye Qinghe pointed at Tang San.

"Ye Qinghe, you bastard, stop talking nonsense! I know perfectly well whether I've been poisoned or not. Don't try to shift the blame for your mistakes onto my teacher!" Tang San, his eyes bloodshot and panting heavily, said, his sore spot touched.

[Tang San's resentment +888888]

"That's probably what that pig-like liar told you again. No wonder, given how adept he is at shifting blame. Besides, I didn't say you were poisoned. After all, you don't have Beast Martial Soul, so you wouldn't get poisoned without frequent Martial Soul possession. But those three poison-attribute Soul Ring have already been integrated into your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Every time you use it, your body is unintentionally affected by the toxins. That's why you haven't grown up," Ye Qing said.

Dugu Yan added, "Exactly! Back then, because my Martial Soul was poisonous, I absorbed three poisonous Soul Ring, which almost cost me my life. And you, listening to this liar, let your plant Martial Soul absorb poisonous Soul Ring. It would be a miracle if it didn't harm your body."

Upon learning that Dugu Yan had also been poisoned by Soul Ring with an added poison attribute, Tang San, despite his blind faith in Yu Xiaogang, couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. He turned his gaze to Yu Xiaogang, as if seeking confirmation.

Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong are all the same.

Xiao Wu, in particular, had already harbored suspicions since her last encounter with Ye Qinghe and Dugu Yan in Nuoding City.

This immediately caused Yu Xiaogang to panic.

Qin Ming kindly reminded him from the side, "That Grandmaster, Qinghe really didn't take any drugs with side effects. You must be mistaken. Qinghe's Soul Power is the most abundant I've ever seen among all the Soul Elder, and his foundation is extremely solid. Moreover, his Martial Soul is no longer the War Tiger; it has already evolved into the Evil Tiger. Also, Yanzi did indeed experience discomfort after absorbing a poison-attribute Soul Ring, which caused her hair and pupils to turn green..."

Qin Ming's words made Yu Xiaogang's eyes light up suddenly. Martial Soul Evolution? If the War Tiger could do it, then wouldn't his Luo Sanpao also be able to...?

But what he said next made him look troubled.

If absorbing three poison-attribute Soul Ring really does affect Soul Master's body, then wouldn't his disciple truly be...

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang dared not think any further!

If Tang San's inability to grow up was truly because of him, then not only would his hard-earned "Grandmaster persona" collapse, but the Clear Sky Douluo would also never let him go.

He didn't want to die.

He hadn't yet made a name for himself in the Soul Master World, hadn't yet proven himself to his family, and hadn't yet avenged those eight years of suffering in the Tube Building building with that damned Pope the Spirit Hall.
