The searing pain left Yu Xiaogang completely dumbfounded.
This wasn't right!
The script wasn't supposed to go like this!
In Yu Xiaogang's mind, he had imagined himself righteously exposing Jiang Yu's true colors.
Jiang Yu should have immediately panicked, made a complete fool of himself, then knelt before him and begged bitterly for forgiveness.
But Yu Xiaogang had never expected that Jiang Yu would not only show no guilt or fear whatsoever, but would directly attack at the slightest disagreement and snap his arm!
"You... you actually dared to hit me!"
The agonizing pain twisted Yu Xiaogang's face, and his voice even carried a hint of a sob.
"Hit you?"
Jiang Yu looked at Yu Xiaogang with utter disdain.
"If you keep acting recklessly here, I won't just hit you—I'll dare to kill you!"
As soon as he spoke, Jiang Yu moved with a thought. Stalks of resilient Blue Silver Grass burst from his body and grew wildly around him.
At the same time, three soul rings emerged.
The first soul ring: purple!
The second soul ring: purple!
The third soul ring: black!
Two purple, one black!
The three soul rings floated silently around Jiang Yu, carrying an unparalleled sense of oppression.
Especially the third soul ring—the deep, ink-black color radiated a terrifying aura that made hearts tremble.
Yu Xiaogang, who had been rolling on the ground and howling just moments ago, froze completely when he saw Jiang Yu's soul rings.
"Th-This is impossible!"
"Your soul rings... your third soul ring... how could it possibly be... a ten-thousand-year soul ring!"
"This doesn't conform to my theories! It absolutely doesn't conform to my theories!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice rose into a shriek, filled with incomprehensible shock.
According to Yu Xiaogang's theories, the maximum age of a Soul Master's third soul ring could never exceed 1,760 years!
Yet Jiang Yu's third soul ring was actually ten thousand years old!
This completely overturned the theoretical system Yu Xiaogang had always taken pride in.
How could he not be shocked?
"I told you long ago."
"Your theories are all garbage!"
Jiang Yu looked at the stunned Yu Xiaogang and spoke with great disdain.
"No! Impossible! My theories can't be wrong!"
"You're the one who's wrong! You must have used some unspeakable evil method to change the color of your soul rings! Yes! That must be it!"
"Tell me, what evil method did you use!"
"I'll expose you!"
Yu Xiaogang roared furiously at Jiang Yu, his expression twisted.
Yu Xiaogang had spent half his life researching theories.
In Yu Xiaogang's eyes, his theories were everything to him—more important than his own life.
Now, Jiang Yu's existence had completely negated the work of his entire life.
How could Yu Xiaogang possibly accept that?
Thus, Yu Xiaogang had become somewhat crazed. He even forgot about his broken arm as he charged at Jiang Yu like a madman.
"You trash, you're practically begging to die!"
Jiang Yu's face was full of disdain as he watched Yu Xiaogang charge at him like a rabid dog.
"Blue Silver Binding!"
In an instant, all the Blue Silver Grass on the ground sprang up and shot toward Yu Xiaogang.
The Blue Silver Grass immediately bound Yu Xiaogang and hoisted him high into the air.
"Ah! Ah... ah... ah..."
At the same time, as the Blue Silver Grass continuously tightened and its barbs dug deeply into his flesh, Yu Xiaogang once again let out a series of heart-rending screams.
Yu Tianheng had originally been waiting to watch his uncle teach Jiang Yu a lesson and stand up for him.
Yet not only had his uncle failed to teach Jiang Yu a lesson, he had been taught one by Jiang Yu instead.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's miserable screams, Yu Tianheng knew he could not keep watching. He immediately rushed forward.
"Stop! Stop right now!"
"Do you know my uncle is from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?!"
"If you dare take my uncle's life today, you'll be making an enemy of the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"
Yu Tianheng immediately invoked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Yu Xiaogang, who was still screaming in agony, seemed to have grasped a lifeline as well. He used every ounce of strength he had to roar.
"I'm with Spirit Hall! My brother is a Soul Sage! I'm also an Honorary Elder of Spirit Hall!"
"If you dare kill me, they'll never let you go!"
Jiang Yu could not help but frown upon hearing this.
Yu Xiaogang might be useless, but there were quite a few people behind this piece of trash!
With Jiang Yu's current strength, killing Yu Xiaogang now would indeed be very troublesome.
"You're right! Killing you would indeed be troublesome!"
"In that case, I'll cripple one of your arms first!"
A cold gleam flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes. Countless Blue Silver Grass vines immediately wrapped around Yu Xiaogang's other intact arm.
"Ah!"
Amid Yu Xiaogang's heart-rending scream, his other intact arm was instantly crushed to pulp by the Blue Silver Grass.
"Alright, you trash. You can scram now!"
"Blue Silver Throw!"
With a thought from Jiang Yu, the Blue Silver Grass instantly hurled Yu Xiaogang away.
Accompanied by a long, drawn-out scream, Yu Xiaogang traced a perfect arc through the air, becoming a tiny black dot before disappearing beyond the horizon.
Seeing his uncle get thrown away, Yu Tianheng finally snapped back to his senses and immediately chased after the direction in which Yu Xiaogang had vanished.
"Uncle..."
Yu Tianheng chased like a madman for a full half-hour.
Only then did he find Yu Xiaogang in a foul-smelling mud pit.
Yu Xiaogang lay half-dead in the mud, his entire body covered in black sludge and giving off a nauseating stench.
"Uncle!"
Yu Tianheng cried out in alarm. Ignoring the overpowering odor, he rushed into the mud pit and dragged Yu Xiaogang out.
"Uncle! How are you?"
"Uncle! Are you alright?"
Yu Tianheng shook Yu Xiaogang violently as he shouted.
"Cough... cough cough..."
"Ah..."
Shaken so fiercely by Yu Tianheng, Yu Xiaogang woke from his coma.
The moment he awoke, Yu Xiaogang let out another heart-rending scream.
One of Yu Xiaogang's arms had been broken, while the other had been crushed. He had truly become a cripple.
Now, even the slightest movement brought Yu Xiaogang unbearable pain.
"Tianheng..."
"Quick... take me to... Shrek Academy!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice was hoarse, each word seeming to drain all the strength from his body.
Now that both his hands had been crippled, the only place he could go was Shrek Academy!
There, he had a brother who had been through life and death with him—Flender, the "Flying Horn" of the Golden Iron Triangle!
Only Flender would take him in at his lowest point!
Only Flender would help him regardless of the cost!
"Yes... yes, Uncle!"
Yu Tianheng did not think much of it. After briefly treating Yu Xiaogang's wounds, he took Yu Xiaogang and hurried toward Shrek Academy.
