The punishment had finally arrived!
A great many people had been watching for Yu Xiaogang's punishment.
Most of them were gloating.
They wished for the punishment to be especially severe.
After all, he had deceived the world and stolen fame for so many years. It was time for him to pay the price he deserved.
Naturally, people like Flender did not want the punishment to be too severe.
The Shrek Seven Devils still needed Yu Xiaogang's guidance.
If something truly happened to him, the Seven Devils' training would likely become a major problem.
Within the Sky Screen Scroll, Yu Xiaogang had now completely panicked.
Only then did he remember that there was still a punishment!
He had previously been carried away by the reward.
Now, he had to accept his punishment.
But on second thought, even though he had answered incorrectly, there would still be a reward for the correct answer.
Then wouldn't the results cancel each other out?
Thinking of this made him feel somewhat better.
It was just that his affairs had been exposed.
He no longer knew how he could interact with his friends in the future.
He did not know how he could face anyone else.
His title as Grandmaster had thoroughly become a joke.
[Punishment as follows: Considering the respondent's low strength, Soul Power will be reduced to level 0.5. The first and second Soul Rings will be stripped away. The Martial Soul will no longer have any possibility of evolution. Lifespan will be reduced by thirty years. The reward for the correct answer is void!]
This punishment seemed much lighter compared to those received by others?
Yu Xiaogang froze for a moment.
Then he suddenly noticed the final part.
The reward for the correct answer was void?
He looked more closely at the Sky Screen's words, and his face turned green with rage.
Considering the respondent's low strength?
This was blatantly mocking him!
Before he could think further, his Soul Power began draining away at an incredible speed.
His Soul Power Level was plummeting madly!
At the same time, two yellow Soul Rings rose from within his body.
After circling above his head, they shattered with a crack.
It happened so quickly that he could hardly believe it.
And it was not over yet!
When his Soul Power dropped to level 0.5, he could clearly feel his vitality declining.
His life force was rapidly draining away.
His skin, muscles, and bones were rapidly aging.
In the span of a single minute.
He had already turned into an old man with graying hair, a hunched back, a face full of wrinkles, and age spots.
His lifespan had been shortened by thirty years!
That was this punishment!
Yu Xiaogang's pupils abruptly contracted, and even his eyes turned cloudy.
The Sky Screen's punishment was terrifying indeed!
His Soul Power had now fallen back to the state it had been at when his Martial Soul awakened.
Only level 0.5 Soul Power remained!
And Luo Sanpao no longer had any possibility of evolution.
In other words, his Martial Soul mutation could never be changed.
"Sky Screen... how cruel you are!"
Yu Xiaogang cried out sorrowfully before fainting on the spot.
Then, enveloped by a beam of light from the Sky Screen, his body rapidly descended into Blue Tyrant Academy.
The people within the academy watched him fall, remaining silent.
Everyone knew that Yu Xiaogang was truly, completely ruined.
The Sky Screen was fair.
When others received punishment, their losses were extremely severe.
Yu Xiaogang himself did not possess much cultivation, so it seemed reasonable that he had received such punishment.
[This round of Q&A has ended. The next round of Q&A will begin in seven days. Everyone, please make your preparations!]
The Sky Screen's voice rang out once more, followed by a flash of brilliant light.
The dazzling scroll had vanished from the sky, as though it had never appeared at all.
"Xiaogang, Xiaogang!"
Liu Erlong held Yu Xiaogang's falling body.
Tears dripped down her face in her panic.
The man she loved had suffered an enormous blow.
She was terrified.
Afraid of losing him again!
Once he woke up, he might very well leave for good.
He was someone who cared deeply about his reputation.
Yet now, within the Sky Screen Scroll, every shred of his dignity had been ripped apart.
His dignity had been trampled upon, and the truth had been exposed.
To him, this was an incomparably devastating blow.
"Er Long, take Xiaogang back to rest first. Help him recover properly."
"Everyone, immediately gather every book you can find and prepare for the Q&A seven days from now!"
Flender was ultimately the backbone of the group and quickly made the arrangements.
The Sky Screen Q&A would begin again in seven days.
During this time, they had to make preparations.
They needed to expand their knowledge!
Only then would they have a chance to achieve excellent results in the next Q&A.
"Dean, I'm going to check on Tang San."
Xiao Wu was very worried about Tang San's condition.
She was now gradually beginning to understand her own heart.
Sibling affection?
Perhaps it had been at first.
But sibling affection could change, too.
They were not blood-related, so what was wrong with it changing?
She only cared about her own feelings and did not want to betray her heart.
Inside Pope Palace.
When Bibi Dong saw Yu Xiaogang's appearance, her heart clenched painfully.
But in the end, she said nothing. Instead, she stood up and solemnly declared, "Seal off all materials in the library."
"Order all Soul Masters under our command, as well as the teachers and scholars of Spirit Hall Academy, to come to Pope Palace and prepare!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Ghost Douluo answered.
He knew that the Pope was preparing for the next Sky Screen Q&A.
The rewards from the Sky Screen Q&A were immensely tempting.
As long as one answered correctly, one would undoubtedly become one of the most outstanding talents on Douluo Continent.
Just like Qian Renxue.
After answering correctly, she had directly advanced to Title Douluo.
She possessed three Soul Rings over a hundred thousand years old.
Her Martial Soul had evolved into the Twelve-Winged Holy Angel, and she had even obtained a God King Level Godhood Inheritance!
With rewards so generous, who could possibly remain unmoved?
Unfortunately, the Sky Screen's benefits had not fallen into his hands.
Otherwise, his Martial Soul might have had a chance to evolve as well!
Nearly every major faction was already preparing for the upcoming Q&A.
But some were making other preparations.
For example, Immortal Herbs!
They appeared to be extremely precious medicinal herbs capable of producing unimaginable effects.
They might even rival Soul Bones, or even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
Since that was the case, they would begin searching to see where such treasures could be found.
As for Poison Douluo, he now hated Tang San to the bone.
He had realized that those Immortal Herbs were his!
Tang San had not told him what treasures they were before.
Then he had dug them all up in one sweep!
That little bastard!
If he did not demand an explanation from him, he would never be able to swallow this anger!
Spirit Hall had also dispatched a team to Blue Tyrant Academy.
For whom?
Naturally, Tang San!
He was Tang Hao's son!
And he was also a transmigrator. How could they possibly let him live?
Once he grew stronger, he would inevitably become a grave threat to Spirit Hall.
People from the Star Luo Empire were also heading to Blue Tyrant Academy.
The eldest prince, Dai Weisi.
He had searched for his younger brother Dai Mubai for so many years.
Now that he finally knew where he was, shouldn't he give him a proper "welcome"?
Others were already on their way to Heaven Dou City.
For Xue Ke!
She had also answered correctly and received extremely generous rewards.
If they could obtain the Divine Tool Heart of Universe from her, that would be wonderful.
Inside a private room at Moonlight Pavilion, Ye Mu stretched when he saw that the Sky Screen Scroll had disappeared.
"The show is over. Douluo Continent should become very lively next."
"Girl, you might run into some trouble next. So, are you planning to return to the Imperial Palace or stay here?"
"Can I stay with Master Ye?"
Xue Ke looked at Ye Mu pitifully.
"No. I'm not going to take care of anyone."
"Then where is Master Ye going? Home?"
"Home? It's quite comfortable here. Why would I go back? There'll be another round of Q&A in seven days, so I can't be bothered to move."
"Alright, then I'll stay here too."
Xue Ke's eyes lit up.
Staying by Master Ye's side was the safest option!
