At that moment, Yao Xiaogang's body lay limp on the ground.
His eyes were tightly shut, his face ashen, and he was barely clinging to life. He had no strength to resist whatsoever!
When his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, was devoured by Yao Xuan, Yao Xiaogang had suffered a devastating backlash.
Not only had the backlash left him gravely injured, but he had also lost all his Soul Power and become a complete ordinary man!
No, he was even worse off than an ordinary man!
After all, the common people of the Douluo Continent might not have Soul Power, but they still had Martial Souls.
Yao Xiaogang, however, had lost not only his Soul Power but even his most fundamental Martial Soul!
It could be said that Yao Xiaogang had become utterly useless, a total failure!
That grievous injury had already left him terribly weak.
And the wound on his right arm had only made his dire condition worse!
Although Yao Xiaogang had taken emergency measures to stop the poison from spreading as soon as he realized he had been poisoned,
the Mandala Snake's potent venom still drained his life force at a terrifying rate!
It brought the already weakened Yao Xiaogang even closer to death!
At that moment, if Yao Xuan had wanted to, he could have crushed Yao Xiaogang's head with a casual swipe of his claw.
He could have killed the cowardly, useless scoundrel who did nothing but deceive people!
But Yao Xuan didn't do that, nor did he plan to kill Yao Xiaogang so soon.
In Yao Xuan's eyes, killing trash like Yao Xiaogang would be far too merciful!
Only by making him suffer every day, both physically and emotionally, would Yao Xuan feel satisfied!
And only then could Yao Xiaogang begin to atone for the heinous crimes he and Tang San had committed together, wreaking havoc across the Douluo Continent!
Now, Yao Xiaogang had lost his Martial Soul and become a cripple.
For someone as arrogant as Yao Xiaogang, this was an enormous torment of the heart!
But it still wasn't enough! Not nearly enough!
After inflicting such emotional torment on Yao Xiaogang, how could Yao Xuan deny him a taste of physical suffering too?
He couldn't help it. He was simply such a warmhearted and kind person!
If he was going to torment Yao Xiaogang, he might as well go all the way!
With that thought, Yao Xuan walked right up to Yao Xiaogang and extended his right claw.
"Golden Dragon Claw!"
With a thought, Yao Xuan activated the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him, unleashing his first Bloodline Ability!
As he willed it, golden patterns appeared across his right claw and lit up in an instant!
A dazzling golden light flashed. Yao Xuan's right claw expanded, gleaming brilliantly as it transformed into a golden dragon claw!
Then Yao Xuan swung it without mercy at the space between Yao Xiaogang's legs!
Squish!
A muffled, deflating sound rang out.
Yao Xiaogang was utterly broken!
From that day on,
he was no longer a man, but a eunuch!
A eunuch with nothing left!
"Yao Xiaogang, I think you'll be very pleased with the gift I gave you today. You'll remember it for the rest of your life!"
"But don't worry. This is only a little appetizer. You and Tang San have plenty more surprises waiting for you in the future!"
Looking at Yao Xiaogang, now a eunuch, in the distance, Yao Xuan smiled faintly. He didn't strike again, instead withdrawing his Golden Dragon Claw with a thought.
There was still plenty of time ahead.
He had more than enough time to deal with Tang San and Yao Xiaogang and make them regret ever being born into this world.
Of course,
it wasn't just Tang San and Yao Xiaogang. Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar of the Shrek Seven Devils had all colluded with Tang San. They were no better.
Yao Xuan had plenty of "surprises" and "gifts" planned for them too. They would certainly have a hard time dealing with them.
As for Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Bai Chenxiang, Yao Xuan wasn't going to let them off either.
Of course, this wasn't because he wanted to punish them.
After all, Yao Xuan was a man who cherished beautiful women.
Rather, Yao Xuan planned to help them see Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun for the filthy people they really were, and save their virtue.
When that time came, all he wanted in return was for them to line the road and welcome him. He wouldn't make them serve him hand and foot—that alone would be more than enough.
"Now, time to go! It's time to head to the Star Dou Great Forest and hunt some more, so I can break through to the thousand-year level and then undergo Shape-Shifting!"
"As for Tang San, I'll wait until I've taken human form before coming to find you at Nuoding Academy! I'll personally make Xiao Wu put a green hat on you. That'll be a lot of fun!"
With a thought, Yao Xuan activated the system ability Stealth, completely concealing his presence as he quietly left the Soul Hunting Forest.
When Yao Xuan had fused with the Golden Bloodline, the faint aura he released had been sensed by Gu Yuena, far away at the Lake of Life.
But Gu Yuena had once been a God King.
Even gravely wounded, her strength and spiritual power were still far beyond those of a Peerless Douluo.
Combined with the connection between the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, that was how she had sensed Yao Xuan's presence.
Ordinary Soul Masters, naturally, could never discover Yao Xuan while he was using Stealth.
And so, he continued on without incident.
Several days later.
Yao Xuan arrived at the edge of a vast forest.
"So this is the legendary Star Dou Great Forest? No wonder it's known as a paradise for Soul Beasts! It's also a paradise for my Devour Evolution!"
After entering the Star Dou Great Forest and traveling about thirty kilometers in, Yao Xuan looked at the Hundred-Year Soul Beasts and thousand-year Soul Beasts he saw everywhere around him and nodded with satisfaction!
The Soul Beast Forest he'd been in before had also contained thousand-year Soul Beasts. They weren't quite as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, but there had been fewer than a hundred.
Now, in the time it had taken him to travel this far, he had already spotted more than a hundred thousand-year Soul Beasts.
And this was only the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest!
Of course, although he had seen plenty of thousand-year Soul Beasts, Yao Xuan hadn't attacked any ordinary ones.
His cultivation was already close to six hundred years. Hunting Soul Beasts with only one or two thousand years of cultivation would add just a few days to his cultivation.
It was simply too inefficient and a bit of a waste.
Only by hunting and devouring Soul Beasts with at least three thousand years of cultivation could Yao Xuan evolve quickly.
So Yao Xuan decided to venture deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest!
At last, after another ten minutes or so, he continued activating his Eye of Detection until he finally found a suitable prey!
[Target: Crystal Bear] [Cultivation: 3,300 years] [Description: A rare Soul Beast with a trace of Dreadclaw Bear bloodline. It can crystallize its body. If it injures you, your body will crystallize for a time, leaving you unable to move and making you extremely vulnerable to damage.] [Tip: The Crystal Bear's weakness is at the back of its neck. Aim for it; before dying, the Crystal Bear will unleash a burst of crystalline Soul Power. Be sure to dodge!] [Devour Reward: 5 years of cultivation]
As Yao Xuan willed it, a transparent Attribute Box appeared in front of him.
"A 3,000-year Crystal Bear will give me a full five years of cultivation when I devour it? Excellent. You'll be fuel for my evolution!"
Looking at the Crystal Bear in the distance, Yao Xuan's eyes flashed with intense battle spirit and excitement!
The next part is getting pushed soon!
