Of course, Liu Yuan was not a man prone to impulsivity.
Although he was already filled with resentment toward Yu Xiaogang, his recent actions only served to solidify his resolve to slay him.
However, he also knew that the one he had sent this time was merely a clone.
If it were his true body, he would currently possess strength comparable to a Title Douluo.
If his true body had come, he would not need to be so timid and cautious as he was now.
He could simply unleash his martial soul and charge in recklessly; whether it was Flender or Yu Xiaogang, all of them would be slaughtered right here by his hand.
But after all, the one he sent this time was only a clone.
The strength that a clone could exert was extremely limited.
Liu Yuan had previously conducted a rough test, and under the condition of unleashing all the power of this clone, it could erupt with strength roughly at the level of a four-ring Soul Ancestor.
Although the clone was unable to use soul skills due to its limitations, it still possessed the necessary basic abilities.
Yu Xiaogang's current strength was roughly around level thirty-four or thirty-five.
Originally, because his innate soul power level was too low, he had been unable to break through level thirty his entire life, remaining stuck at level twenty-nine.
However, a few years ago, thanks to the help of Tang San and the medicinal herbs obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had successfully broken through. Now that his soul power limit was gone and he was no longer stuck at level twenty-nine as before, Liu Yuan estimated that Yu Xiaogang's current soul power level should be around thirty-four or thirty-five.
Even if he couldn't use soul skills, Liu Yuan still had the ability to slay a Yu Xiaogang of this strength.
But it would be a different story if Flender were added to the mix.
When he saw Flender many years ago, he was already a seven-ring Soul Saint.
Given his talent, it was impossible for him to have remained stagnant for so many years.
Therefore, even if he hadn't become a Soul Douluo by now, he was likely not far off.
Liu Yuan's clone could not possibly be a match for a Flender of that caliber.
Thus, Liu Yuan did not rush to strike.
He calmed his heart and waited patiently.
He was waiting for an opportunity when no one else was around Yu Xiaogang.
Only then would he have the possibility of slaying Yu Xiaogang on the spot.
He waited for a long time.
To wait for this opportunity, he crouched nearby and watched Yu Xiaogang and Flender for so long that it made Liu Yuan extremely annoyed.
Of course, this was not to say that he lacked patience or could not endure hardship.
In reality, Liu Yuan's patience was excellent.
As for suffering, had he not endured enough pain while accepting the inheritance of the Death God? How could he complain about such a small matter?
The reason he was so annoyed was mainly because, while lurking here, he had seen no shortage of Yu Xiaogang's evil deeds.
Clearly, many of the children had potential; even if they didn't have great prospects, with a little polishing, they could still make a living on the Douluo Dalu in the future.
Yet, in order to maintain the "prestige" of Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang and Flender would heartlessly weed out all these students.
Those with innate soul power of only two or three, or three or four levels, found it basically impossible to enter Shrek Academy.
Before they could even get in, they would be subjected to a round of harsh humiliation by Yu Xiaogang.
And what was most infuriating was that after being humiliated, they still had to obediently pay ten gold soul coins.
It was essentially paying to be scolded.
Liu Yuan actually felt a deep sense of empathy for these situations.
After all, such things had once happened to him as well.
Therefore, he felt extremely furious about this right now.
However, no matter how angry he was, he had to wait for a suitable opportunity to strike.
Thus, Liu Yuan could only wait patiently for the time being.
He waited for an entire afternoon.
Finally, Yu Xiaogang and Flender were about to part ways.
"Let's go! Let's go have dinner. We made quite a bit today, let's go have a big meal!"
Yu Xiaogang was planning to call it a day; he was very satisfied with today's earnings, so he intended to drag Flender to a large hotel in Suotuo City to spend some money.
"You go ahead. There are still some chores to do at the academy. I'll go spend money after I finish, and I'll find a place to stay later. I just discovered a new spot a few days ago, the girls there are quite fine."
Flender shook his head at Yu Xiaogang, a lewd smile appearing on his face as he spoke the latter part.
A look of "I understand" also appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.
"You really know how to play."
"But I also found a place last time, it was heavenly."
"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've been there. I'm going to sneak off tonight to have some fun."
He laughed heartily at Flender, then quickly patted him on the shoulder and said.
"In that case, you go ahead and get busy."
"I'm going to go eat now."
Flender nodded at Yu Xiaogang with a smile.
The two parted ways there.
After seeing this scene, Liu Yuan's eyes suddenly burst with intense light, and as he continued to watch Yu Xiaogang before him, the flames of revenge burned incessantly in his heart.
"The opportunity has arrived."
He snorted coldly and followed him the entire way.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was now quite far from Shrek Academy and there was no one else around, he sneered and prepared to make his move.
He summoned his martial soul directly, his body surging with killing intent as he stepped forward.
But unexpectedly, just at that moment, two men and two women—four youths—suddenly walked up to Yu Xiaogang's side.
Those four were none other than Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong, who had returned early to keep their appointment!
After they arrived at this location, Liu Yuan's expression quickly stiffened.
He had originally intended to seize this opportunity to strike at Yu Xiaogang.
He hadn't expected that Dai Mubai and the others would have already arrived.
This caused Liu Yuan's plan to fall through once again.
He had no choice but to retract his martial soul on the spot and wait for another opportunity.
However.
The arrival of Dai Mubai and the others served as a wake-up call for Liu Yuan.
This matter could not be dragged out.
After all, he was aware of the original story.
In the original story, although Dai Mubai and the others arrived a while before Tang San.
It was only a short while.
A few days later, Tang San would return to Shrek Academy after obtaining Xiao Wu's spirit ring and spirit bone.
By that time, Liu Yuan would truly have no chance left.
Therefore, time had become extremely tight for Liu Yuan.
He had to seize the opportunity to kill Yu Xiaogang before Tang San returned!
Otherwise, if even Tang San were to return.
Then things would become very difficult to handle.
