Tremble! Fear!
This was the power of me, Yu Xiaogang—the mighty Soul Grandmaster, possessor of earth-shattering wisdom, the Number One Theoretical Master of the Continent!
Yu Xiaogang desperately suppressed the smile threatening to curl up his lips.
His Soul Grandmaster cultivation was enough to leave the old man before him with an unforgettable impression!
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang exuded an aura of overwhelming dominance from head to toe!
Li Yusong picked at his ear. Ever since joining Shrek Academy, his temper had mellowed considerably. Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to resort to violence.
"Get lost before this old man changes his mind."
Li Yusong's calm warning left Yu Xiaogang stunned.
"Hiss, could this old man be some hidden master?"
Having suffered plenty of losses, Yu Xiaogang's vigilance was now almost at its peak. He looked Li Yusong over once more.
A hunched back, thick calluses on the web between his thumb and forefinger, a weathered face, and graying hair.
No matter how he looked at him, he did not seem like a powerful expert. Instead, he looked like an old man from an ordinary family who had toiled his entire life.
"Fine, fine, fine. Trying to bluff me? Heh. Luckily, this Grandmaster is exceptionally intelligent, or I really might have been fooled by him."
Yu Xiaogang curled his lip disdainfully.
With the earth-shattering wisdom inside his crew-cut head, he could tell after a little thought that the old man before him was bluffing!
His goal was to stop Yu Xiaogang from making trouble and get him to leave quickly!
"Old thing, if someone with low intelligence had come here, they might really have been fooled by your act. But unfortunately, this Grandmaster is known as the Number One Theoretical Master of the Continent. Your little tricks cannot fool me."
"This Grandmaster will give you one more chance. Call out your academy's dean, and this Grandmaster can still spare your life. Otherwise..."
Yu Xiaogang was brimming with confidence.
Amazing! This felt amazing! This was the bearing a theoretical master like him ought to have!
The muscles in Li Yusong's face twitched as he watched the supremely confident Yu Xiaogang.
What the hell!? Had time changed without taking him along?
Since when had Soul Grandmasters become so impressive?
"So, you want to fight me?"
A trace of danger surfaced around Li Yusong, but in Yu Xiaogang's eyes,
it was merely Li Yusong's final struggle.
"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, old man. Later, this Grandmaster will not go easy on you just because you're so old."
Bang!
The moment Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he suddenly felt his body fly into the air, while a dull pain from a blunt strike shot through his waist.
"Knock him down first! Then drive him back! Prevent him from running!"
Li Yusong swung the Dragon-Patterned Cudgel in his hand, striking Yu Xiaogang's legs with a single blow.
"Awooo!!"
A pig-slaughtering scream immediately burst from Yu Xiaogang's mouth.
"It's over! This Grandmaster has kicked an iron plate again!"
The instant Yu Xiaogang was sent flying, he understood that he had provoked the wrong person again.
"Damn it! Why are there so many powerful people in this world? And among all these powerful people, why can't one of them be me?!"
Yu Xiaogang glared resentfully at the sky.
Extra! Extra! The newly promoted Fart God challenged the entire God Realm all by himself!
Cough, cough!
Just as Yu Xiaogang was blaming the heavens, Li Yusong coughed and walked toward the collapsed Yu Xiaogang with the Dragon-Patterned Cudgel in hand.
Yu Xiaogang swallowed in terror and asked frantically, "Y-you... what are you going to do? Let me tell you, I know your academy's dean."
Faced with Yu Xiaogang's utterly harmless threat, Li Yusong maintained his composure.
"Heh heh, one last chance, was it?
Go easy on you, was it?
Little tricks, was it?"
With every sentence Li Yusong spoke, the Dragon-Patterned Cudgel in his hand struck Yu Xiaogang squarely.
"Ah! It hurts! It hurts, hurts, hurts! I was wrong! I was wrong! I shouldn't have been so arrogant! Please, be merciful and spare my life!"
Yu Xiaogang clutched his head tightly. He had originally wanted to protect his little brother, but then he remembered that his little brother was already gone, so he simply covered his head instead.
Grandmaster Yu's handsome face could not suffer the slightest damage!
Otherwise, it would be a tremendous loss for the Douluo Continent!
After beating him for quite a while, Li Yusong finally stopped, because he was genuinely afraid of beating Yu Xiaogang to death.
"Sigh, I really haven't exercised in too long. A mere Soul Grandmaster actually endured ten strikes from me."
For an ordinary Soul Grandmaster, let alone ten strikes, after five blows, anyone still breathing would be one in ten thousand.
Yet this one could not only breathe, but even beg for mercy.
How strange. Were Soul Grandmasters these durable nowadays?
Li Yusong returned to the wooden chair before the table, took a sip of the tea on it, and said,
"Get lost already! Otherwise, this old man will let you taste the old Dragon-Patterned Cudgel again."
Hearing the latter half of that sentence, Yu Xiaogang could not help but shudder all over.
"I'll go! I'm going!"
Yu Xiaogang shakily crawled to his feet and stumbled into the small forest nearby.
It hurt! It really hurt!
Grandmaster Yu truly did not want to go through it a second time!
Yu Xiaogang entered the small forest and, after making sure he could not be seen from outside while he could still see outside from where he was, found a spot and sat down with his arms wrapped around his knees.
"Flender, Second Dragon, where are you two?!"
Yu Xiaogang felt utterly wronged right now. Was it easy for him to come seek refuge with a good brother?
First, he ran into that black-hearted brute Ma Fu, then he encountered this overbearing, unreasonable gatekeeper.
Had he known this would happen, he would have stayed properly at Notting Academy and waited for Liu Erlong to return!
After all, that would have been far better than this!
Who knew how much time passed before night had already fallen, and Yu Xiaogang finally heard a cheerful voice reach his ears.
Yu Xiaogang followed the source of the voice with his gaze. Upon seeing its owner, two lines of tears immediately slid down his cheeks.
Flender! I've waited for you for so long!
Flender had been especially lucky today, because he had heard from a child that his good brother—the Number One Theoretical Master who possessed earth-shattering wisdom—had arrived at Shrek Academy!
As for how he had confirmed it, naturally, he had recognized the item at the child's waist as belonging to his good brother: a Storage Soul Guidance Device!
After questioning him further, the child had also told him information about his good brother, and that child was even his good brother's only disciple!
That child was naturally Tang San.
With his good brother's outstanding theoretical knowledge joining Shrek Academy, the strength of Shrek Academy's students would surely rise to a new level!
By then, after receiving the guidance of his good brother, the students of Shrek Academy would certainly reach a terrifying level of strength!
That way, he would have even more theories to hoodwink people with—no! To earn enrollment fees with!
At the thought of all those inexhaustible Gold Soul Coins in the future, a thread of drool involuntarily trickled from the corner of Flender's mouth.
"Flender!"
Just as Flender was lost in his fantasy, a drake-like voice suddenly rang out from the small forest nearby.
The next moment, Flender saw only a black shadow flash past him, and then felt something tightly hug both of his thighs.
"Flender! Your brother has suffered! Your brother feels wronged!"
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he began to wail loudly.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Why are you hugging this dean's thighs?"
"Holy shit! Don't wipe your snot on this dean's pants!"
"These are pants this dean specifically bought at great expense to meet my good brother!"
