Xiaogang's Jealousy

Yu Xiaogang and the others left with thoughtful expressions, while Ling Yi waved his hand, stuffing the various organs, muscles, bones, fascia... laid out on the operating table back into the dissected and dismembered body of the Three-Ring Soul Elder. ♔✌ 💢🍮

Then, without even summoning his Martial Soul, Ling Yi waved his hand again, and a pale green light emanated from his palm, landing on the 'volunteer' and healing his wounds.

As a healing-type Soul Emperor has been researching Healing System -type Soul Skill and the power of life for more than 20 years, it is reasonable and logical for him to be able to cast skills without rings, right?

Ling Yi ignored the half-step cadaver teacher, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown and still had a ghostly expression. He waved his hand and put him into the "Coffin of Life" behind the operating table. With another wave, he pushed him to the corner of the wall and placed him next to the other three "Coffin of Life".

Speaking of which, Ling Yi first heard the term "silent mentor" from a young woman in the general surgery department in his previous life. It is a respectful term used in the medical community to refer to body donors.

The thought of the young lady undergoing surgical training without batting an eye made Ling Yi feel uneasy. During that time, Ling Yi couldn't sleep soundly unless he bound her with Japanese rope bondage.

Who would have thought that in this life, Ling Yi himself would be able to perform various surgeries so calmly?

With a sigh in his heart, Ling Yi first washed his hands, then used his "Thunder Power" to disinfect his entire body before stepping out of the specially set-up practical classroom.

As Ling Yi approached the entrance of the Martial Soul Research Institute, he saw Yu Xiaogang about to leave and quickened his pace to catch up with him.

"Xiaogang,"

He patted the other man's shoulder, waking him from his slumped state, head bowed and lost in his own world, his entire demeanor somewhat gloomy. Ling Yi's face broke into a warm, spring-like smile, "It's lunchtime already, why haven't you gone to the cafeteria?"

"..."

Yu Xiaogang was somewhat dazed by Ling Yi's smile. After a few moments of confusion, he replied in a low voice, "I can go later. I want to go to the library to read for a while now..."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang made a few hesitant sounds, but then fell silent.

Seeing this, Ling Yi didn't mind, and shook his head with a smile, saying, "Then it will just be leftovers. You know, freshly cooked food is the most delicious... It's good to love learning, but you also need to balance work and rest. You can't skip meals every day. If you don't eat enough, how will you have the energy to support your physical activities? Not to mention cultivation, even reading and studying requires a good body."

"A strong and healthy body can nourish the spirit, making the mind more active, and allowing one to maintain the best state for learning..."

Faced with Ling Yi's lecture, Yu Xiaogang remained silent, listening attentively without objecting or saying he would obey.

The two walked to the Lingyun Library, a few hundred meters away from the Martial Soul Research Institute. Ling Yi glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who remained silent, and took out an oil paper package from his storage bracelet, handing it to him. "Here you go~"

Looking at the two palm-sized, thick, oily yellow paper packets in front of him, Yu Xiaogang's dejected and stiff expression turned somewhat surprised.

"This is dried meat I made, usually used as provisions when traveling," Ling Yi explained calmly. "Now that we're in the city, we don't need it anymore."

"Take this; you can have something to eat while you read."

Without waiting for Yu Xiaogang's response, Ling Yi placed the oil paper package in Yu Xiaogang's hand and turned to continue walking forward.

The road back to the City Lord’s Mansion is still a distance before reaching the elevator for climbing the mountain.

Watching Ling Yi's dashing departure, Yu Xiaogang was stunned. His mind was racing, but he didn't even know what he was thinking. When he came to his senses and tried to recall, he found his mind blank.

Deep down, Yu Xiaogang was jealous of Ling Yi, extremely jealous!

On what grounds?!

How could Ling Yi, a mere villager from a small duchy, whose ancestors had never produced Soul Master in generations, who only possessed half a level of Innate Soul Power by chance when his Martial Soul Awakening, barely able to cultivate, and whose Martial Soul was the universally recognized Martial Soul "Blue Silver Grass," now reach the Soul Emperor realm before the age of thirty?!

Furthermore, he single-handedly created the Green Wood Merchant Association, whose influence spanned the Douluo Continent, and established the Lingyun City beneath his feet!

As for Yu Xiaogang, the son of the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects the Douluo Continent, he clearly possessed the most outstanding Martial Soul bloodline. However, as if playing a joke on the heavens, his True Dragon bloodline Martial Soul underwent a malignant mutation, turning into a useless martial Martial Soul like that of a pig. His innate Innate Soul Power was only half a level, and he had been stuck at level twenty-nine for several years without making any progress!

Therefore, the more Yu Xiaogang understood Ling Yi's excellence, the more unbalanced and jealous he felt deep down!

Yu Xiaogang desperately hoped that he could become a shining genius on the Douluo Continent, just like Tang Hao, the young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, and a source of pride for his sect and clan!

Indeed, compared to Ling Yi, who climbed from the bottom to become one of the upper echelons of the Douluo Continent, Yu Xiaogang actually admires Tang Hao, who has a background that is extremely similar to his.

That's the kind of person Yu Xiaogang dreams of becoming!

Similarly, Yu Xiaogang dislikes Ling Yi Ling Yi he dislikes Ling Yi 'Ling Yi excellence, his gentle and refined nature, his humility and politeness, Ling Yi extraordinary wisdom, his superior strength, and his young age when he has achieved a reputation and accomplishments no less than Ling Yi Ling Yi 'Tang Hao!

but...

Yu Xiaogang glanced down at the oil paper package in his hand, and could already smell the faint aroma of meat in his nose. A bitter smile appeared on his lips.

See? Even though I hate Ling Yi so much, I can't bring myself to hate him anymore when faced with this man who seems like the Sun and can dispel all darkness.

Ling Yi's excellence made Yu Xiaogang feel as if he were facing the blazing sun in the sky, and even his jealousy seemed ridiculous, which he himself found laughable.

You can climb and traverse mountains, but how can you chase the Sun?

With extremely complicated feelings Yu Xiaogang carried the oil paper package and walked into the library in a daze. The fragrance of books, paper, ink, and sandalwood bookshelves mixed together to make him a little more awake. After taking a deep breath, Yu Xiaogang tried to suppress his chaotic thoughts and began to walk towards the rows of bookshelves.

He doesn't seek to catch up with or surpass Ling Yi, but he also wants to prove that even if he, Yu Xiaogang, is down on his luck, he is not someone that beggars and lowly villagers like Liu Hao and Ni Xing can easily compare to!
