Two years later; the Soul Master Tournament was about to begin
In Small Town in the north.
Filled with hatred, Tang San walked into a tavern in the Small Town.
His arrival immediately drew the attention of the guests.
"How dare some brat come to a place like this? Do you even know what kind of place this is?"
Someone asked with a sneer.
Tang San could tell he was just a level 20 Soul Grandmaster, so he didn't bother arguing. He took out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and said coldly, "Die!"
Sixteen crossbow bolts were fired in quick succession, and the man was riddled with holes on the spot.
His body jerked backward and he fell to the ground, crimson blood instantly spreading out.
An uproar erupted inside the tavern; no one had expected the wooden box to possess such power.
Tang San ignored the wary looks they gave him and said calmly, "Give me a Bloody Mary."
The so-called Bloody Mary is actually a special blood wine brewed from the blood of people in the Capital of Slaughter mixed with toxins.
When consumed by people from the Capital of Slaughter, it can calm the boiling murderous intent within their bodies, maintain their composure, and prevent them from losing their minds and going mad.
"Okay," the waiter replied, and poured him a glass of wine.
Tang San downed his drink in one gulp and said coldly, "I'm going to enter the Capital of Slaughter!"
After failing to capture Tang San, Yu Tianheng and Yu Xiaogang prepared to leave Shrek Academy.
Before bidding farewell to Flender, Dai Mubai mentioned to Yu Xiaogang that he wanted to become his disciple.
He knew that Yu Xiaogang was the younger brother of a deity.
Given the current situation, Tang San's chances of turning the tide are slim, so Dai Mubai plans to seek refuge with Yu Xiaogang and use his status as Yu's disciple to find a way out.
Even if I can't become a god, it wouldn't be bad to return to the Star Luo Empire and become an emperor.
If he were to reveal to Yu Xiaogang the secret that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is the Sea God's Heart, he might even win a reward from the Eternal God.
No matter how you look at it, joining Yu Xiaogang's side is far more promising than continuing to follow Tang San.
From the moment he ignored Tang San's plea for help, the friendship between the two had long since vanished, Dai Mubai saw this clearly.
"I have no intention of taking on any more disciples." Yu Xiaogang glanced at Dai Mubai and calmly refused his request to become his disciple.
He had already been heartbroken by Tang San, and Dai Mubai was clearly no good either. To expect him to uphold the proper conduct of respecting his teacher was wishful thinking.
Dai Mubai was somewhat disappointed, but dared not complain to Yu Xiaogang, "Excuse me, Grandmaster, let me see you out."
"Don't call me 'Grandmaster,' or I'll think you're mocking me. I'm just an ordinary person," Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice.
Dai Mubai looked helpless. "Uh, alright, Your Excellency, I'll see you out."
Yu Xiaogang did not refuse, and Dai Mubai escorted him all the way to the village entrance before he politely declined further offer to see him off and told him to go back.
Two years later.
Yu Mingxiao sat in the main seat of the Thunder Academy conference room.
Seated to the left and right of the upper left were the dean of the Thunder Academy and the Pope of the Spirit Hall, respectively. Below them were the academy's senior officials and the deans of the two Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
It is worth mentioning that the deans of the two Heaven Dou Imperial Academy are both princes of their respective empires.
Yu Mingxiao calmly stated, "The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament will begin in a month. Since we have taken over the Spirit Hall's influence, this tournament will be hosted by our Church. I have decided to award the tournament champion three Spirit Bone."
"Spirit Bone?" Prince Xue Xing's eyes lit up. "May I ask Your Majesty Eternal God, if you could elaborate?"
Yu Mingxiao said, "These are three power-type Spirit Bone. I don't know their specific names, but they are all over 50,000 years old. They are relics of Tang Hao, a former outcast of the Clear Sky Sect."
"Tang Hao's belongings... Could it be that Tang Hao is dead?"
The crowd began to whisper among themselves.
Yu Mingxiao said, "That's all I wanted to say. You can go back now and prepare the competition venue in preparation for the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall bowed deeply, their posture extremely respectful, and replied in unison in a deep voice, "Your decree is hereby granted."
Yu Mingxiao pulled Bibi Dong up, turned around, and disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, they had already returned to their palace.
Bibi Dong couldn't help but ask, "Why did you give Tang Hao's lost Spirit Bone as a prize for the competition?"
Yu Mingxiao smiled slightly, "It's just about inspiring young people's ambition. If the rewards aren't generous enough, this competition won't seem grand enough."
"I feel like you're not telling the truth," Bibi Dong said.
Yu Mingxiao smiled without saying a word.
In fact, according to his plan, Tang San should have left the Capital of Slaughter in the next couple of days.
He lured Tang San into becoming Evil Soul Master, constantly devouring and growing stronger in the City of Capital of Slaughter, causing a huge change in his cultivation level.
After leaving the Capital of Slaughter, Tang San learned that the final reward of the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy was his father's Spirit Bone, which must have made him furious.
At that time, he will either choose to turn a blind eye and seize the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud of the Heaven Dou Empire, or act recklessly, hide his identity and participate in the competition to reclaim his father's Spirit Bone.
Of course, things might take other turns, and Yu Mingxiao did not intend to interfere with the Power of Fate.
Rather than actively intervening, he preferred to observe and watch Tang San walk towards destruction through his own choices.
Either way, it's what he hopes to see.
"How's your God-level Trial going?" Yu Mingxiao asked, changing the subject.
Thanks to his connections, Bibi Dong was able to inherit the Godhood of the First-Level God, the God of Darkness, and has been participating in the God-level Trial for a year or two. It is unknown how far she has progressed.
Bibi Dong said, "We're on the Sixth Trial already, and I feel like I'll pass in the next two months."
"That's good." Yu Mingxiao turned to leave.
Suddenly, her clothes were tugged, Bibi Dong said reproachfully, "Since you dragged me here, didn't you have anything else in mind?"
Yu Mingxiao: "..."
Bibi Dong pushed him down.
Before long, the elegant "Symphony of Love" filled the entire palace.
"Oh... so sweet..."
"To become the God of Farts, I traveled across the continent, enduring countless tribulations."
"When I was six years old, I started farting, and every time I farted, I became one with the fart."
"At fifty, my disciple Tang San betrayed me and stole my Luo Sanpao, rendering me a cripple."
"In the same year, thanks to my elder brother's favor, I awakened the God of Farts Eye, inherited the Godhood the God of Farts, and finally found an opportunity for revenge."
Yu Xiaogang sat in the study of the Meng Family, which originally belonged to Meng Shu, and whispered his feelings.
Since he received his elder brother's favor, the Meng Family family's attitude towards him changed drastically. Their previous coldness and sarcasm turned into respect and flattery.
As a result, the status and position of his two children also improved.
That's human nature.
Yu Xiaogang had already experienced the full spectrum of human emotions, and his heart remained largely unmoved.
Yu Xiaogang recalled the message he received yesterday and muttered to himself, "My elder brother ordered me to go to the Godwind Academy. Judging by the time, it's about time I set off. I wonder if the people there will deliberately make things difficult for me."
