A Lingering Regret?

Bai Yu got up and poured himself a glass of water. Soul Power surged from his hand, and frost instantly formed on the cup, tiny ice crystals appearing across the surface. After taking a sip, he continued writing.

[After Flender left, Gangzi and Liu Erlong quickly confirmed their relationship and prepared to marry. But as they say, life rarely goes the way one wishes.]

[The day before the wedding, Gangzi's second uncle and Liu Erlong's father came looking for them. Well... may all lovers in the world become siblings! Their wedding was broken up.]

The women watching in secret were stunned. What a drama! They also felt that Bai Yu's curse was far too vicious!

"Ah, Bai Yu, I'll kill you!" Liu Erlong slammed another fist into the ground and let out an enraged roar.

The teachers and students of Blue Tyrant Academy had experienced three earthquakes today. They had no idea why their Dean had suddenly gone mad.

[Gangzi ran away again without saying a word. Come to think of it, did he even know that Liu Erlong belonged to the same clan as him?]

[If he knew, then marrying her without asking clearly was obviously irresponsible. If he didn't know, then what had he learned from all those years of theoretical knowledge? He couldn't even recognize a mutated Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul?]

[Anyway, Gangzi was cowardly and all talk. His face mattered most, and running away was what he did best. He fled all the way to that backwater corner called Nuoding City and became a turtle hiding in its shell.]

[That foolish woman Liu Erlong didn't run. In the end, she was driven nearly insane. Tsk, this is what happens to honest people! The facts tell us that when trouble comes, you need to run immediately!]

Boom! Liu Erlong punched the ground again. The crater from her fists was nearly large enough to serve as an artificial lake. Fire blazed in her eyes as she muttered, "You're slandering Xiao Gang. Xiao Gang isn't some turtle hiding in its shell... he must have had his reasons! And you dare call me a foolish woman? I'm going to punch you hard in the mouth!"

Though she was still making threats, she failed to notice that her tone was no longer as firm as it had been at the start.

Although the story was tragic, the people watching could not help laughing. Who would have thought that Bai Yu, who seemed to be Reborn, had such a talent for telling funny stories?

[Gangzi used his family connections to join a local junior academy in Nuoding City, becoming a "master" who never taught classes. Gangzi might have been useless, but he never played in low-level matches!]

[He looked down on the teachers and students of the junior academy. Naturally, they looked down on him too. Gangzi muddled along like that for many years, until Tang San enrolled.]

[When he saw that Tang San's recommendation letter listed his Martial Soul as Blue Silver Grass and his Soul Power as Innate Full Soul Power, Gangzi became excited. What was this? This was hope—hope that he could prove himself!]

[Then he bragged to Tang San for a while and showed off some knowledge. Tang San, who had never studied Martial Soul theory, immediately dropped to his knees and called him Dad—cough, cough—acknowledged him as his master.]

[After that, he forced his bullshit theory onto Scum, making him add poison-attribute Spirit Rings, and Beast-type Spirit Rings at that. A dignified Blue Silver Emperor bloodline was nearly crippled into depression.]

Ah Yin's blades of grass perked up slightly upon seeing this. Amid her sorrow, she now felt utterly speechless as well.

Liu Erlong sat in the pit she had punched out, her lips trembling as she did not know what to say. After all, having been a Dean for so many years, she understood some basic knowledge.

Bai Yu had no idea that each of the secret viewers was putting on their own little show. He remained wholly focused on making things up, completely in the zone.

[Actually, if he had taken in an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Soul Master with Innate Soul Power at level one or two as a disciple, this plan would have been pretty good. At least it could have increased their attack power somewhat.]

[But who told him to set his sights on Tang San? That made Scum's first four Spirit Rings completely useless after he grew stronger. If not for the help of the Blue Silver Grass Spirit Beasts in Blue Silver Forest, even his bloodline would have degenerated.]

[If not for the fact that Gangzi used their old relationship to swindle the Twin Martial Souls Cultivation Method from my blind teacher, he probably would have been dealt with by Tang San long ago. After all, Scum's catchphrase is: you have already entered the Way of Seeking Death!]

Within the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong supported her cheek with one arm and leaned sideways against her seat with her eyes closed. The corner of her mouth twitched violently before she muttered softly, "You're still such trash..."

[What angers me most about Gangzi is that after Spirit Hall was destroyed, he gathered up the notes I had left behind on my newly created Cultivation Method, put his own name on them, and published them under the title Heaven and Earth Force Attraction Theory.]

[Did I ever say he had practiced it himself? Even if you gave that thing to a dog, the dog wouldn't cultivate it—it would be afraid of going lame.]

[That was fine. Although I wanted to kill him, I wasn't angry enough to do so. But I never expected him to be so cowardly and afraid of death.]

[By then, the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect was already gone. No one could stop him from being with Liu Erlong anymore. I wanted to kill him, but he was always following behind Tang San, while I was merely a Soul Douluo. I could only seize Liu Erlong and force him to show himself.]

[Unexpectedly, Liu Erlong was pregnant. Even more unexpectedly, when I told him to trade one life for the lives of Liu Erlong and her child, he actually didn't come! He even told Scum that I had killed Liu Erlong and sent Scum to avenge her!]

[When I fled, I spared Liu Erlong because she had a child. Yet I never expected that after making a fuss when she returned, she would still end up with Gangzi!]

[Fine, fine, fine. Back then, I was so furious that I laughed instead. I deeply regretted not killing that foolish woman and sending her to the Underworld to debate with my teacher about who was truly the Blind God King!]

Boom! Boom! A continuous barrage of impacts rang out beneath Liu Erlong's fists. The enormous pit had completely become an artificial lake.

She panted heavily, repeating over and over, "No, Xiao Gang wouldn't do that. Bai Yu, you're lying to me! I'm going to kill you! I want you dead!"

Liu Erlong's eyes were bloodshot. She rose and unleashed her Martial Soul Avatar, intending to fly to Shrek and kill Bai Yu. Yet when she reached the outskirts of Heaven Dou City, her body suddenly halted, and she descended into the forest.

She recalled how Yu Xiaogang had left her without a word back then, leaving her alone to face her father's reproach and everyone else's gossip.

She then dismissed her Martial Soul Avatar. Her expression stiffened, and her confidence was gone. In a daze, she walked toward Heaven Dou City.

Inside the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong opened her eyes. Flames appeared within her beautiful purple pupils.

She too laughed in extreme anger. "Hehe, my little Yu, when you return, Teacher will love you properly."

"Ah-choo!" Bai Yu's train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a sneeze.

He rubbed his nose, confusion in his eyes as he thought, What's going on? Did I drink too much ice water? That shouldn't be it. I was perfectly fine even in the Far North, wasn't I?

He then shook his head, paid it no mind, and continued thinking up material about Yu Xiaogang.

[After that, Gangzi became even more cautious, and I never had another chance to kill him. Until the moment I died, Gangzi lingered in my mind, becoming my final regret.]

[Tsk, that's enough about Gangzi. The regrets of my past life can be made up for when the chance comes in this life. Tang San and the others will soon be heading to the Great Soul Arena too. Time to go watch the show.]

The women secretly watching and reading along also felt a faint regret in their hearts. Why hadn't Gangzi died? That wasn't right!

As a dignified Reborn, how could you have failed to kill even a mere Gangzi in your past life?
