Martial Soul Mutation Has a 1% Chance of Developing in a Bad Direction; Yu Xiaogang's Head Turns Green as He Makes an Orchid Finger (Continued)

...that developed in a bad direction.

And Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Martial Soul itself

was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul developing through a mutation in a good direction.

Lin Feng's calm expression paused for a moment.

He hurriedly opened the system

and checked the detailed description of the Mutated Clear Sky Martial Soul Pill.

He found that it said nothing about the direction of the mutation.

So he cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness and said:

"Liu Erlong, this Mutated Clear Sky Martial Soul Pill you received..."

"The mutated Martial Soul you'll obtain after taking it..."

"has a 99% chance of developing in a good direction."

"You can rest assured about that."

Liu Erlong let out a sigh of relief when she heard this.

She trusted that someone of his distinguished status would never deceive her.

Just then, a familiar voice came from the distance:

"Er Long, I've brought Xiao Gang over!"

"Congratulations on accepting the Star Official Challenge!"

"You've reached first place on the 'Spiritual' Challenge Gold Stele!"

Liu Erlong froze, then looked up.

To her surprise, it was Flender.

He was accompanied by several Shrek Academy students carrying a stretcher.

A man covered head to toe in bandages lay flat on it.

It was Yu Xiaogang.

Liu Erlong's face lit up with joy.

Now that she had obtained the Mutated Clear Sky Martial Soul Pill,

she could finally solve the problem with his Martial Soul.

She turned toward the Silver-Haired Man seated on the meditation cushion

and bowed deeply as she said:

"Senior, I've completed the Star Official Challenge!"

"Something urgent has come up. Until we meet again!"

Lin Feng glanced at Yu Xiaogang on the stretcher in the distance,

then nodded and closed his eyes to meditate.

Liu Erlong was about to step down from the platform

when she suddenly remembered something and turned back.

She took a food box from her Soul Tool and held it out.

"Senior, I specially prepared some pastries before leaving last night."

"If you don't mind, please have a taste."

As soon as she finished speaking, she hurried off the platform

and rushed toward Flender and Yu Xiaogang in the distance.

Lin Feng took the food box and opened it.

A tempting aroma wafted out.

He swallowed instinctively,

picked up a pastry, and put it in his mouth.

He chewed slowly, his eyes narrowing into slits.

He was utterly satisfied, savoring every bite.

Lin Feng couldn't resist good food.

As he ate the pastries, he watched Liu Erlong heading away.

He murmured:

"As expected, an older sister is more mature than a younger one—and better at cooking."

"Hu Liena's pastries can't compare to Liu Erlong's."

"These days, it's rare to find a woman who can cook and knows her way around her hands."

"A good woman like Liu Erlong..."

"it's such a shame she's stuck with Yu Xiaogang."

Lin Feng finished all the pastries and licked his fingers.

With a wicked grin, as if hoping the world would descend into chaos, he said:

"Mutated Clear Sky Martial Soul Pill, don't disappoint me."

Then he put the food box away in the System Space

and closed his eyes to meditate in silence.

"Boss Flender, why did you bring Xiao Gang here?"

"Don't you know his injuries haven't healed yet?"

"You're going to be the death of me!"

When Liu Erlong arrived, she planted her hands on her hips and glared at Flender.

Her eyes flashed with fury. The Mother Tyrannosaurus was on the verge of a rampage.

Flender took a frightened step back.

He was afraid of Liu Erlong, and hastily explained:

"Er Long, don't get worked up!"

"Actually, Xiao Gang asked me to bring him here to find you!"

"He said he was worried the Senior might bully you!"

"No matter what I said, he wouldn't listen!"

"He even threatened to kill himself if I didn't bring him. I had no choice!"

Liu Erlong shot Flender a glance.

The displeasure in her eyes faded, and she muttered:

"The Senior is such an upright, noble person."

"He opens the Star Official Challenge for others every day and hands out rewards."

"How could he possibly bully me?"

"Besides, what do I have that the Senior would want?"

She came to the stretcher,

looked excitedly at Yu Xiaogang lying on it,

and took his hand with delight.

"Xiao Gang, with the Senior's help..."

"I opened the 'Spiritual' Challenge."

"I received a C+ rating."

"And I got a Mutated Clear Sky Martial Soul Pill."

"Once you take it, you'll obtain a mutated Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul!"

Yu Xiaogang, lying on the stretcher, had been seething with rage.

He hated Lin Feng to the bone.

Yesterday, hadn't he merely asked to change the type of Star Official Challenge?

And Lin Feng had forcibly stripped the Martial Soul from his body.

Yu Xiaogang had heard with his own ears that Hu Liena had also asked to change the type of Star Official Challenge.

Yet she had only been scolded a few times.

He had held a grudge over it ever since.

He thought Lin Feng was nothing but a lecher.

Lin Feng had treated Hu Liena differently because he coveted her beauty.

So when he saw the note Liu Erlong had left behind,

he'd asked Flender to bring him to the inner reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest.

He was worried Lin Feng might have designs on Liu Erlong.

From far away, Yu Xiaogang had seen Liu Erlong imitate Hu Liena from the day before

and offer pastries to Lin Feng.

He was so furious that he nearly exploded.

Especially when he saw Lin Feng eating the pastries with a look of satisfaction—

he felt as if his head were covered in green.

He was seething with anger.

After Liu Erlong arrived, she kept calling Lin Feng "Senior,"

and spoke up for him again and again.

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth in fury.

His lungs were about to burst.

He was just about to scold Liu Erlong for being unfaithful

when he heard her say that she had received a Mutated Clear Sky Martial Soul Pill,

and that taking it would grant him a mutated Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

All the anger in his heart vanished.

Nothing mattered more to him than regaining a Martial Soul.

Especially when it was the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the continent's number-one tool-type Martial Soul.

Yu Xiaogang was already dreaming of earning the title "Clear Sky" in the future.

"Er Long, where's the Martial Soul Pill you mentioned?"

"Give it to me, quick!"

Yu Xiaogang was extremely excited.

His every thought was fixed on the Martial Soul Pill.

He hadn't noticed how exhausted and weak Liu Erlong was.
