Most Powerful and Most Influential, All Offended!
"Boss Flender, as expected of students you taught. When it comes to stirring up trouble, I, Liu Erlong, am impressed!"
Liu Erlong slapped her forehead and spoke helplessly.
She was a straightforward woman who sided with her own rather than reason, yet even she could not help but sigh at this moment.
The moment they arrived in Heaven Dou City, they had offended the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, and beaten him soundly.
The Fourth Prince was nothing much. So what if they had beaten him?
But because of that, they had offended that poisonous snake, Dugu Bo...
After entering the city, they had offended a Crown Prince's Mansion Guest Official, indirectly offending the Crown Prince as well.
Unlike the Fourth Prince, this one held real power. If nothing unexpected happened, he would become the future Heaven Dou Emperor!
That aside, the key point was that this guest official was a terrifying existence with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
And he was even a Twin Martial Souls wielder...
Wonderful. Simply wonderful!
They had offended the most powerful and influential people, every last one of them!
If someone had not quietly apologized behind the scenes and paid an unknown amount of "compensation," the Shrek group probably would not have made it to her academy.
Upon hearing this, Flender and Yu Xiaogang could not help but blush. Liu Erlong was truly frustrated that they had failed to live up to expectations.
They were also to blame for not stepping in to stop it at the time. They had believed that, with their strength, they would be able to move freely even in Heaven Dou City.
Shrek Academy's lineup was no weak one: several Soul Sages and several Soul Emperors.
Under normal circumstances, such a lineup was enough to swagger about with impunity.
Who could have expected them to offend the two people they absolutely could not afford to offend?
"Erlong, we are to blame for this as well. We were too busy watching the show back then."
Flender spoke honestly. After so many years of friendship, they would not part ways over something like this.
Liu Erlong's words were mostly teasing. Even if she knew Flender and Yu Xiaogang were wrong, she would not take the side of reason.
That was what it meant to side with her own rather than reason.
"Your Excellency's Second Martial Soul is, like mine, a Body Separation Beast Martial Soul. I truly want to see just how powerful she will become once she obtains nine Soul Rings, each at least fifty thousand years old!"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed. This was the first time he had encountered someone in the same situation as himself.
However, her innate conditions were far, far superior to his!
There was one thing Yu Xiaogang did not dare say. He feared it would shake their resolve!
From the moment Zhongli used Martial Soul Possession and prepared to attack them, he had been observing.
He discovered that Paimon had not disappeared.
At the time, Yu Xiaogang had been utterly shocked!
Yu Xiaogang had encountered two Twin Martial Souls wielders before. One was the current Pope, Bibi Dong, while the other was his current disciple, Tang San.
There was one thing Yu Xiaogang could confirm: whether it was Bibi Dong's Twin Beast Martial Souls or Tang San's Twin Tool System Martial Souls, they shared one common trait!
They could not appear at the same time!
In other words, while they could switch frequently during battle, using them to fight, they could not use both Martial Souls simultaneously to attack!
Tang San had Twin Tool System Martial Souls, so when he was not fighting, he could still reveal both Martial Souls. However, Bibi Dong could not, because she possessed Twin Beast Martial Souls.
Yet Zhongli had completely defied this rule. He also had Twin Beast Martial Souls, one separated from the body and the other "possessing" the body, yet they could actually appear at the same time!
Once the Martial Soul named Paimon obtained Soul Rings, any battle would no longer be one-on-one. It would be two against one, and two opponents whose minds were perfectly in sync.
Even if Tang San followed Yu Xiaogang's plan and successfully added nine Soul Rings over fifty thousand years old to his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul—
When facing Zhongli, Tang San would still hold no advantage at all!
Instead, he would be at a complete disadvantage.
Yu Xiaogang had never dared to say this aloud, fearing it would affect Tang Hao and Tang San.
The person who had delivered compensation at the city gates that day might have been unknown to the others, but Yu Xiaogang knew it had to be Tang Hao.
"To cultivate to such a realm, he must have spent no small amount of time. If Little San wants to defeat Your Excellency head-on, he can only wait it out."
"Only when Your Excellency's end draws near will Little San have his chance to rise."
"Alas, such are the times, such is fate."
Yu Xiaogang sighed inwardly and stopped dwelling on the matter.
"Father, if this Mutated Martial Soul of mine could possess innate full... no, even just rank five soul power, I would surely become renowned throughout the world!"
"If I also had Twin Martial Souls, then in this vast world, no one could stand beside me!"
Zhongli was proof enough that Body Separation Beast Martial Souls were not inherently weak. They simply required certain prerequisites.
It was merely that he, Yu Xiaogang, did not meet those innate requirements.
After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Liu Erlong and Flender exchanged a glance and sighed silently.
Yu Xiaogang remained just as obsessed as ever. Now that he had seen a "divine countenance," he had become even more fervent.
If Yu Xiaogang's strength were higher, the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the three of them would be even more powerful. Unfortunately, with two carrying one, they could barely manage.
"Xiaogang, do not overthink it. Once Your Excellency obtains Soul Rings for the Second Martial Soul, we can visit and ask."
Liu Erlong patted Yu Xiaogang's shoulder and comforted him.
Flender's eye twitched. As expected of Erlong—she could actually say something like that.
Ask?
Could a soul master's secrets simply be asked about?
Of course, as Liu Erlong's devoted admirer, Flender could not possibly refute his goddess. He hurriedly nodded and said, "That's right, Xiaogang. If we are sincere enough when the time comes, perhaps we can move Your Excellency."
Like father, like son.
Inside the Shrek Academy student dormitories.
Tang San was sitting cross-legged when an incomparably cold aura suddenly locked onto him.
He abruptly opened his eyes, already drenched in sweat.
"Which senior is joking with Tang San? Please come out so we may speak!"
Tang San did not dare let down his guard. Though his words were respectful, his right hand had moved to the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night at his waist, ready to use his hidden weapons at any moment.
To enter the student dormitories without anyone noticing and lock onto him, this person's strength was definitely not low.
At the very least, Zhao Wuji and the others were no match for him.
That was why Tang San was so tense.
Just then, a somewhat familiar figure appeared before Tang San, making his heart and soul tremble.
His clothes were already soaked through with sweat.
"Dugu Bo!"
Tang San's eyes widened. He did not understand why Dugu Bo had sought him out in private!
He had encountered this Titled Douluo twice before, but he did not remember ever offending him.
Even when Dugu Bo had driven him away from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Tang San had not shown any hatred. There was no reason for the man to seek him out!
"Greetings, Pondousus Excellency!"
Tang San cupped his hands toward Dugu Bo and spoke respectfully.
Dugu Bo paid this no mind. Instead, he swept his gaze around the room and casually found a place to sit.
Tang San's dormitory was exceedingly simple. Perhaps this had something to do with the environment he had grown up in. Even though he had now become a Soul Elder-level powerhouse, he had never changed.
