Yu Xiaogang Gets Beaten Up

But he was unwilling to accept it! He desperately needed to prove himself, prove that his theories were not worthless, prove that Yu Xiaogang was not completely useless!

At that moment, a girl named Xiao Wu entered his sight. She also possessed Innate Full Soul Power, and her Martial Soul was a Soft Bone Rabbit.

"Innate Full Soul Power, Soft Bone Rabbit?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned tightly as he studied the documents in his hand.

How could a Martial Soul of the Soft Bone Rabbit's level possibly produce Innate Full Soul Power?

Subconsciously avoiding Fu Shiyan's discussion of the conditions required for Twin Martial Souls, he stubbornly believed:

"This absolutely cannot be an ordinary Soft Bone Rabbit!

It must have undergone a beneficial mutation!

Perhaps... could she also have Twin Martial Souls?"

This bold speculation revitalized him, as though he had grasped another lifeline.

At Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu had just finished her morning classes. Humming an off-key tune, she skipped toward the dormitory to find Tang San, her long scorpion braid swishing happily behind her.

Just then, a somewhat gloomy figure blocked her path.

Yu Xiaogang stood in the middle of the path, looking even more haggard than usual.

"Student Xiao Wu, please wait."

Yu Xiaogang's voice carried a deliberately cultivated steadiness befitting a scholar.

Xiao Wu stopped, the hem of her pink dress spinning into a lively arc.

She blinked her large, sparkling eyes, her face openly filled with confusion.

"Hm? Were you calling me? Who are you? Do you need something?"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, displayed the documents in his hand, and said in a low voice:

"I am one of the academy's instructors, Yu Xiaogang.

I carefully studied your enrollment records. Innate Full Soul Power, Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul..."

He paused, his gaze fixed tightly on Xiao Wu as he spoke with certainty:

"A Martial Soul like the Soft Bone Rabbit could never produce Innate Full Soul Power!

Your Martial Soul must have undergone an extraordinarily beneficial mutation, perhaps even...

I suspect that you may very well be the one-in-ten-thousand possessor of Twin Martial Souls!"

When he mentioned Twin Martial Souls, his voice rose slightly with excitement, and light flashed in his eyes.

He automatically ignored Fu Shiyan's discussion of the conditions for Twin Martial Souls, stubbornly convinced that only his own judgment was the truth.

This girl before him was his second hope for restoring his dignity and proving his theories!

Hearing this, Xiao Wu's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her rosy lips curled in displeasure.

She had never been interested in human soul masters' theories in the first place, much less the ramblings of this strange-looking uncle whose gaze made her uncomfortable.

She waved her fair little hand, her tone carrying a hint of impatience.

"Oh, mutation or not, Twin Martial Souls or not, my Martial Soul is a Soft Bone Rabbit!

Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving. Xiao San is still waiting for me!"

Seeing her turn to leave, Yu Xiaogang grew anxious. He subconsciously stepped forward and reached for Xiao Wu's arm, his tone becoming urgent and forceful.

"Child! You still do not understand what your talent means!

Blind cultivation will only waste your potential!

Only by accepting the most correct theoretical guidance can your future path as a soul master be smooth and unobstructed!

I have studied Martial Soul theory for decades. I can certainly..."

Faced with Yu Xiaogang's incessant lecturing and his intention to take her as a disciple, Xiao Wu's fiery temper was nothing like Tang San's ability to endure. Her brows shot up as she rejected him without the slightest courtesy.

"Hey, Uncle! Are you done being annoying?

I've already said it several times!

I can cultivate on my own. I don't need you to teach me!"

As her sharp cry rang out, Xiao Wu's figure flickered like a ghost. Yu Xiaogang saw only a flash of pink before an utterly irresistible force seized his wrist!

"Eh?!"

He cried out as he instantly lost his balance!

The next moment, the world spun around him!

Xiao Wu's seemingly slender, delicate body erupted with astonishing power and speed!

She grabbed Yu Xiaogang's wrist and twisted her waist.

"First Throw!"

Yu Xiaogang felt an immense force surge through his wrist. His body was flung through the air beyond his control, and his back smashed heavily against the hard bluestone ground. Agonizing pain shot through his entire body, and stars burst before his eyes.

"Second Throw!"

Before he could catch his breath, another force struck him. Like a ragged sack, he was hoisted up again and viciously slammed onto the other side!

"Third Throw! Fourth Throw!..."

Xiao Wu's movements flowed like clouds and water, filled with a strange rhythm, yet incomparably violent!

Yu Xiaogang had no ability to resist at all. Like a toy, he was thrown repeatedly against the ground.

"Eighth Throw!!"

On the final throw, Xiao Wu gave a sharp shout and swung Yu Xiaogang high into the air with all her strength before violently smashing him into the ground!

"Bang—!"

Yu Xiaogang collapsed onto the ground like a heap of mud. Every bone in his body seemed to have fallen apart. The intense pain curled him into a ball, leaving him without even the strength to groan.

His hair was disheveled, his robe covered in dust and grass clippings, and he looked utterly miserable.

Xiao Wu landed lightly, clapped her little hands, and looked down at the twitching Yu Xiaogang with an angry huff.

"Hmph! I hate it most when people try to put their hands on me!

I already said I don't need you to teach me!

If you dare bother me again, I'll throw you every time I see you! Remember that, Uncle!"

With that, she could not even be bothered to spare Yu Xiaogang another glance. Tossing her signature scorpion braid, she skipped away toward the dormitory.

Several students drawn over by the commotion watched from afar, pointing and whispering among themselves. Their hushed voices were mixed with stifled snickers.

Yu Xiaogang lay sprawled on the cold ground. The pain in his body was far less than the humiliation and despair in his heart.

The sunlight was still bright, yet he felt as though he had fallen into an icy abyss.

He had suffered setbacks before two "geniuses" in succession, especially in such a completely undignified manner. The last shred of his pride had been utterly crushed.

Having lost all face, Yu Xiaogang could only struggle to his feet in the end and limp back to his residence, filthy and bedraggled.

After being thoroughly battered by Tang San and Xiao Wu in succession, Yu Xiaogang had practically become a laughingstock at Nuoding Academy.

He felt too ashamed to remain any longer.

Just as he was disheartened and preparing to leave Nuoding Academy, this place of sorrow, he received a letter from his friend Flender in distant Suotuo City.

The letter mentioned that although Shrek Academy still adhered to its principle of admitting only monsters and had difficulty recruiting students, it had recently been fortunate enough to accept another promising little monster.

This new student was only twelve years old, yet his Soul Power had already reached level twenty-six. He was a Soul Grandmaster.

His Martial Soul was the Moro Vine, a plant-type Martial Soul renowned for both offensive power and toughness even among high-tier Martial Souls. Its quality was exceptionally high.

His first two Spirit Rings came from a Ghost Vine more than a hundred years old and a Blood-Devouring Tyrant Flower over five hundred years old, respectively. The combination was fairly conventional.

Moreover, his Innate Soul Power was level eight. Given the quality of his Martial Soul and his current level, he was already considered a genius.

Upon reading this letter, a faint glimmer of light reignited in Yu Xiaogang's dim eyes.

"Moro Vine... high-tier Martial Soul... twelve years old, level twenty-six..."

He murmured to himself, his fingers trembling slightly with excitement.

This student's innate conditions appeared even more dazzling to many people than Tang San's Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power!
