Tang Hao was one of the combat power ceilings in the sewers of the fantasy world.
All you could say was, he had something going for him.
But not much.
He was now enduring excruciating pain below the waist, his backside sticking out as he flew up and down through the night sky.
Soon, relying on his powerful mental strength, he locked onto the aura of the healing-type Soul Master inside the city lord's manor.
At that moment, the healer was lying in bed, having a sweet dream. He clutched his blanket tightly, his belly occasionally thrusting forward, his face full of contentment.
The scene happened to fall into the eyes of Tang Hao, who had just teleported in.
His eyes narrowed. What was this beast doing?!
Didn't he know that this motion was especially damaging to someone who had just become a eunuch?
The next second, Tang Hao lifted the healer up like a chick.
"Your mother! Who dares disturb this lord's sleep!"
Interrupted at a crucial moment, the healer woke and immediately began cursing!
Tang Hao flew into a rage!
Why was every insignificant ant daring to yell at him today?
In an instant,
a bone-chilling killing intent, almost tangible, engulfed the healer. He swallowed his curses at once, as if he could see his deceased great-grandmother beckoning him.
He hurriedly begged for mercy. "M-My lord, I was just foul-mouthed. I offended you."
"You've come visiting in the middle of the night. Is there something you need?"
Tang Hao said nothing. He only pointed at his crotch and forced two words through gritted teeth.
"Heal me!"
"Understood! I understand!"
The healer froze for a moment. Catching sight of that mangled area from the corner of his eye, he sucked in a sharp breath, the corners of his mouth twitching wildly.
He wanted to laugh, but could only hold it in with all his might, his whole face turning the color of pig liver.
He was certain that if he laughed, he'd lose his life right there.
You damn mouth, hold it in!!!
He immediately summoned his Martial Soul, and two Hundred-Year Soul Rings appeared. "My lord, please sit. I'll get to work right away!"
Tang Hao didn't sit. He stood right where he was.
A cold breeze blew beneath his crotch, and it burned with pain. How could he sit?
"Hurry up."
He urged him.
The healer's two Soul Rings shimmered, and a dark green halo enveloped Tang Hao.
He closed his eyes, focusing every ounce of awareness on his lower body.
This was a matter of the utmost importance: whether he could become a man again!
However, when it came to treating a Titled Douluo's injuries, the efforts of a mere Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster could be summed up in four words.
Utterly useless.
Before long, the healer had run out of Soul Power, like a succubus had drained him dry. His whole body went limp, as weak as a newborn kitten.
"M-My lord, I-I can't go on."
The healer collapsed to the floor, his Soul Power exhausted. Even speaking left him gasping for breath.
"I... I really don't have a single drop of Soul Power left."
Tang Hao carefully sensed his condition.
His lower body was a bloody mess, with only a thin scab forming over it!
What was this supposed to be?
Patching up shattered eggs with a hole in every side?!
His eyes bulged with fury!
"Useless!"
The next second, the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand. Before the healer could beg for mercy, he was smashed into a puddle of flesh.
Tang Hao took a deep breath, and some of the pent-up rage in his heart finally dissipated.
He glanced at the unlucky bastard who had become a puddle of flesh.
Now that the man knew his secret, he naturally couldn't let him live.
He knew perfectly well that a healer in a tiny place like Nuoding City couldn't possibly fix such a devastating injury.
But cities with high-level healers were too far away.
He had come here only because it was nearby, hoping against hope that the healer might somehow help.
Too bad. All that effort had been for nothing.
As for Tang San, Grandmaster was looking after him now, so there shouldn't be any problems.
After careful consideration, Tang Hao continued flying in one direction, backside sticking out.
The next morning.
Day broke.
Notting Academy welcomed the liveliest day in its history.
The Memory Crystal Su Chen had played on the field yesterday was as powerful as a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill.
The image of Tang San striking with his blade as Yu Xiaogang clutched his crotch and screamed was incredibly shocking.
It had been burned deep into the minds of everyone who had been there.
In just half a night, this explosive gossip had sprouted wings and flown to every corner of the academy.
"Did you see it? Tang San's strike was so precise, and there wasn't a hint of hesitation. He's definitely trained for this!"
"Of course! He even dared to cut his own master. That's what you call betraying your teacher!"
"Terrifying!"
The girls' dormitory, meanwhile, was abuzz with talk about Yu Xiaogang's future.
"The Grandmaster can't even be a man anymore. How pitiful."
"What's pitiful about it? He always walks around with a deadpan face, putting on airs. Now he can go straight to work in the palace. It's the perfect job for him."
The rumors grew more and more outrageous.
A rumor could be spread with just one mouth!
But clearing it up took running until your legs gave out.
In the dean's office, the dean of Notting Academy was frantic with worry.
Yu Xiaogang might be useless, but his surname was Yu! Even an outcast of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was still a dragon.
The dean had let Yu Xiaogang freeload at Notting Academy for all these years!
Wasn't it all because Yu Xiaogang's surname was Yu?
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan found out that one of their people had been physically castrated at Notting Academy and had become the laughingstock of the whole school, the dean's career would be over.
No!
His life would be over.
But the culprit was the mysterious Su Chen, and the dean couldn't afford to offend him either.
He had two headaches, one big and one small.
After thinking it over and over, he could only try to bury the matter.
"Pass down the order! No one is to talk about it. Anyone who mentions the Grandmaster becoming a eunuch again will be expelled!"
The dean gave the head of discipline a strict order.
Under the hardline policy, open discussion did indeed die down.
But the people's creativity was boundless.
Since they couldn't say "eunuch," everyone came up with code names.
"Have you heard? The Grandmaster's become the Rootless One."
"Tang San's move is called the 'Extinction Blade Technique.'"
"Have you 'cut' anyone today?"
The whole academy was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
At that moment!
Su Chen had only just gotten up. Teaching Haozi a lesson the night before had worn him out.
Xiao Wu was also the type to sleep in.
As usual, he kicked the rabbit who had crossed the line and slept beside him awake. This rabbit was getting bolder by the day.
Looked like he'd have to teach her a lesson she wouldn't forget.
He'd go order two spicy rabbit heads later.
Xiao Wu yawned, looking aggrieved as she rubbed her messy scorpion braid. She was angry but didn't dare say anything.
"Take this!"
Su Chen tossed her a Memory Crystal.
"What is this?"
"Infuse it with Soul Power and see for yourself."
Xiao Wu obediently infused it with Soul Power. The Memory Crystal's images appeared, and she saw the scene from the back mountain the night before.
The moment Tang Hao's nine Soul Rings appeared, Xiao Wu was struck as if by lightning.
A Titled Douluo?
That brat really hadn't lied to her. There really was a Titled Douluo nearby.
Then the following scene left her utterly stunned.
That Titled Douluo had actually been ruined by this little brat in the most brutal and humiliating way imaginable.
Xiao Wu's little face turned red.
She remembered the little brat saying that a mere Titled Douluo was easy for him to handle.
So he hadn't been boasting. It was a cruel reality!
She couldn't afford to provoke him. She really couldn't!
"Boss, get up! Xiao Wu will make your bed for you." Xiao Wu instantly put on an extremely ingratiating smile.
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Keep up the good work, and the organization won't let you down."
Xiao Wu didn't understand what "the organization" meant. She only knew that she needed to keep this powerful ally close, and then she'd live carefree in the human world.
"I'll reward you with two spicy rabbit heads later."
Xiao Wu froze. You bastard!
You're really something else.
Spicy rabbit heads were delicious, sure, but she was a rabbit too.
She could only summon her courage and say the boldest words in the most timid voice.
"No... I want three."
