Gangzi, Aren't You Satisfied at Level Thirty?

The onlookers who had been following along felt somewhat unsatisfied, but they were not as miserable as yesterday. At least they now knew almost everything about Tang Hao. Yet today's content still left them tossing and turning.

At the Lake of Life in the very center of the continent, the Silver Dragon King's massive body lay sprawled atop Spirit Gold, radiating a strange kind of beauty. She narrowed her eyes and murmured to herself:

"The Will of Douluo Star? A Child of Destiny joining the two races to break the God Realm's blockade? Interesting, but what a pity~"

She then turned to look at the sword scar on her hind leg. A cold gleam flashed in her eyes as she gritted her teeth and hissed, "Asura!"

The next morning, Bai Yu got up early, bought some breakfast in Suotuo City, and entered the academy's so-called dining hall.

The moment he entered, he sensed that the atmosphere in the dining hall was off. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were whispering with their heads together, while Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu complained that breakfast was terrible.

Zhu Zhuqing sat alone to one side with a cold expression. Tang San sat beside Xiao Wu, his head lowered as though lost in thought.

With a smile on his face, Bai Yu walked over to the group and said, "What are you all talking about? I bought plenty of tasty food in Suotuo City. Push the tables together and come eat. Where's Oscar? Why isn't he here?"

"Bai Ge! You came at just the right time. Hurry and bring out the food so I can satisfy my cravings. That lazy Oscar still hasn't gotten up, so forget about him!"

The moment Ma Hongjun saw Bai Yu, he tossed aside the bun in his hand, stood up, and let out a mournful cry.

Bai Yu took out the food and set it on the table. "All right, quit fooling around. Come help tidy up, and we'll eat together."

"By the way, Fatty, what were you and Little Bai whispering about just now? Why did you look so sleazy?"

Ma Hongjun fiddled with the food without even raising his head. "Women. Boss Dai has his eye on that new junior with the huge chest. He was threatening me over there. Bai Ge, you have to stand up for me."

"Outside, he runs three shows a day. Now he wants to start picking them up in the academy too. He isn't leaving anyone else a chance to live!"

"Fatty, what nonsense are you spouting?!" Dai Mubai roared at Ma Hongjun, his face full of embarrassment.

Upon hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned icy. She glanced at Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, then stopped eating and turned to leave.

At that moment, Ning Rongrong also came over with Xiao Wu in tow. Looking at Ma Hongjun, she said disdainfully, "How old are you? Why are you always going on about women, women, women?"

Ma Hongjun snorted. "I've had plenty of girlfriends too, all right? Too bad I don't have the face of a bitch, so the quality wasn't that high."

Bai Yu glanced at Tang San, who dawdled for a while before finally coming over, and said, "All right, Fatty, stop rambling and eat. The Dean will probably call you all to gather soon. I'll bring some food over to Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing."

Dai Mubai watched him leave with a complicated look in his eyes. His lips moved, but no sound came out.

After waking Oscar and leaving him some breakfast, Bai Yu came to Zhu Zhuqing's door and knocked.

When there was no response from inside, he knocked again and said, "It's me."

As the door opened, Zhu Zhuqing appeared before him with dim eyes. "Come in."

"Tell me, do I still have hope?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly turned around and looked at him after he entered the room.

Bai Yu took out the food and arranged it on the table, saying casually, "Why think so much? Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink."

"If you can't make it, once your sister becomes Crown Princess, she'll probably find a way to save you. No matter what, you won't die."

His tone paused briefly before he continued, "If you want to decide your own fate, you can choose to learn from me and become stronger."

"But there is a faction behind me. If you learn my things, it means joining my faction. You won't be able to return to the Star Luo Zhu Family. Think it through carefully."

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head without speaking and picked up the food on the table to eat.

Bai Yu glanced at her, shook his head, and said, "Eat first. If you hear the bell, remember to gather at the main training field."

Then he turned and walked out of the room. Looking back once, he thought to himself, Children of great clans truly don't find it so easy to betray their families, even if their own lives are far from satisfactory.

After wandering around the village for a while, Bai Yu grew bored and thought it would be more interesting to return to his dormitory and write his diary.

[Today was a boring day. Flender will be showing off his same old three tricks again: collecting money, resting, then heading to the Great Soul Arena at night. When it comes to teaching students, one word stands out: wild!]

[But Flender has quite a strong desire for control, and that little girl Ning Rongrong is clearly the unruly sort. She'll probably get a thorough talking-to. I wonder whether that little brat can hold out.]

Xiao Wu watched Ning Rongrong as she ate, only for Ning Rongrong's brows to suddenly shoot up. Xiao Wu could not help letting out a snicker, earning an angry glare from Ning Rongrong.

[But it doesn't mean much to me. Better keep writing about Little Scoundrel.]

[After Tang Hao acknowledged Little Scoundrel, Rat began teaching him blacksmithing and methods of using strength to temper the body. Scum's days of hammering iron began as well.]

[It continued until Soul Master Academy started. When Scum enrolled, he encountered two people who would affect his entire life: Gangzi and Xiao Wu!]

[Let's set Xiao Wu aside for now and talk about Gangzi first. His real name is Yu Xiaogang, the Soul Master world's Master of Theory, a famous piece of trash, and someone who thoroughly screwed Scum over.]

[Before Scum was preparing to lead people to ascend to the God Realm, he directly excluded his teacher Gangzi. In Scum's own words: Gangzi, aren't you satisfied at level thirty?]

At Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City, flames burst from Liu Erlong's body and set the wooden house where she lived ablaze. She growled, "Xiao Gang, I've found you. And that Bai Yu from Spirit Hall too, daring to slander Xiao Gang—you're courting death!"

Within Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong's expression was also somewhat complicated. She clenched her fist, then a cold light surfaced in her eyes as she regained her composure.

[Why say that? We have to start with Gangzi's origins. As the son of the Sect Master of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Xiaogang had been greatly favored since childhood.]

[But things took a turn on the day his Martial Soul awakened. He did not awaken the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, but something that looked like both a pig and a dog. His Innate Soul Power was not even level one. Gangzi's world came crashing down!]

[Even with a Title-ranked father supplying him with resources, his cultivation speed was incredibly slow. Unwilling to fade into obscurity, he turned to researching theory in hopes of solving his own problems.]

[Yet not only did he research a Four-Unlike, when he finally reached level twenty, he attached a poisonous second ring to his Martial Soul and completely ruined himself.]

[What he didn't know was that his Martial Soul should have been the Golden Sacred Dragon. It was only because his talent was insufficient to support the Sacred Dragon Origin that his Martial Soul had degenerated.]

[Originally, as long as he absorbed dragon-type, light-element Spirit Rings, he would have had a chance to awaken the Sacred Dragon Origin again. But one self-righteous second Spirit Ring completely cut off that possibility.]

At Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong went mad once more. "Impossible! Anyone who dares slander Xiao Gang, I'll definitely kill them!"

But then her expression froze. She remembered that their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was the Golden Sacred Dragon, and Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul had even been its core.
