Beiming Lieyang Beat Dugu Bo Senseless, Who Broke Through to Rank 93. Tang San: What the Hell Was Gangzi Holding In?

After several consecutive fights, Beiming Lieyang finally felt completely satisfied.

Shui Yueer, Shui Bing'er, Ling Luochen, the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, Wu Changkong, Meng Hongchen, the Ice Emperor, the Ice Venerable...

The techniques of all those ice-type characters gave him a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

After that chaotic string of battles, his control over ice-type abilities improved by several degrees.

Only Dugu Bo had it rough.

He took a beating, recovered, took another beating, then recovered again.

Like a billet of iron hammered over and over, he was repeatedly tempered.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling stood at the edge of the field, watching Dugu Bo get back on his feet from the Mysterious Ice Illusion once more. Their lips twitched slightly.

"Grandpa..."

Dugu Yan's tone was complicated. "Why do I feel like he's actually enjoying this?"

Ye Lingling said nothing, but her clear eyes plainly said, "I noticed it too."

What they did not know was that every time Dugu Bo was hammered to the ground, the energy of the Void Mysterious Ice flowed into his body.

After dozens of rounds, his physical strength had been forcibly raised by fifty percent.

His Soul Power was also repeatedly compressed and refined, its impurities purged again and again.

He had noticed it long ago.

Getting beaten hurt, but after the pain came an exhilarating sense of comfort throughout his entire body, far more effective than years of secluded cultivation.

Finally, after the Void Mysterious Ice completely healed his injuries in one round, the Soul Power that had accumulated in his body for so long abruptly shattered through its bottleneck.

Dugu Bo's aura suddenly surged.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were stunned as well.

"...He broke through?" Dugu Yan's voice was a little dry.

She had personally watched her grandfather get pummeled for an entire day, and then he broke through.

Getting beaten could lead to a breakthrough?

What kind of cultivation method was that?

Dugu Bo climbed up from the ground and stretched his limbs. Feeling the smooth, abundant power within him, he could not help bursting into hearty laughter.

He cupped his hands toward Beiming Lieyang and bowed, his voice ringing out loudly.

"Thank you for your blessing, Lord! This subordinate has finally broken through to Rank 93."

"That's enough. You endured it yourself." Beiming Lieyang waved a hand, then lowered his head to glance at his Storage Soul Tool.

"But speaking of which, after all these rounds, my stock of Void Mysterious Ice is nearly depleted."

Inside the Storage Soul Tool, only a little of the Void Mysterious Ice he had accumulated over this period remained.

Training, healing, and enhancement—using all three at once consumed far more than he had expected.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's gazes fell on Beiming Lieyang in unspoken agreement.

Only then did they realize that every healing, every enhancement, and every time he stood back up had consumed Void Mysterious Ice.

They understood the terror of this substance better than anyone.

"Ah?" Dugu Bo froze for a moment. "Lord, then..."

"Don't worry about it. I can just condense more." With a casual lift of his hand, Beiming Lieyang condensed another house-sized chunk of Void Mysterious Ice and tossed it over as a reward for Dugu Bo's sparring.

After so many rounds, Dugu Bo had been beaten half to death by him, nearly developing a psychological shadow.

As someone in a position of power, he had to be clear about rewards and punishments.

Could he possibly learn from Bibi Dong? The two Title Douluo, Yue and Gui, worked diligently and gave their all, yet did not even receive a single Spirit Bone.

But come to think of it, Mother Xue and Auntie Bing had plenty of Spirit Bones.

Uh.

No, that was Mother Xue and Auntie Bing's private stash.

How could he take their things to reward someone else?

Then again, there were quite a lot of Soul Beasts in the sea.

And the sea Soul Beasts believed in the Sea God.

Besides, sea Soul Beasts were the native Soul Beasts of Douluo Continent.

They did not acknowledge the Silver Dragon King as the ruler of Soul Beasts at all.

Beiming Lieyang pondered whether he should go into the sea and get some.

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up as he carefully caught the chunk of ice and solemnly stored it in his Storage Soul Tool.

The deeply satisfied expression on his face could not be concealed.

Dugu Yan watched with envy, already planning to ask her grandfather for a small piece later to try for herself.

Standing nearby, Ye Lingling's gaze lingered on the Void Mysterious Ice for a rare moment longer.

She was the inheritor of the Nine Heart Begonia and had been immersed in the word "healing" since childhood.

She understood better than anyone.

What a piece of Void Mysterious Ice that could rapidly heal a Title Douluo's injuries and increase all attributes threefold meant.

If even one piece of this thing spread out, the entire Soul Master world would be plunged into bloody turmoil.

Of course, if they knew that anyone who seized this thing and consumed it would most likely not seek out Beiming Lieyang to plunder more Void Mysterious Ice...

But would instead be successfully controlled by him and become a puppet, they would not think so.

Meanwhile, in the dormitory corridor of Notting Academy.

Tang San sat by the windowsill, his eyes repeatedly sweeping across the academy. He had searched every corner he remembered visiting with Xiao Wu.

Everything here was exactly the same as in his memories, except one person was missing.

The girl who should have appeared in the dormitory.

One day, two days...

It remained the same, leaving his heart increasingly empty.

Some deviations after being reborn were normal, but the problem was that in his previous life, Xiao Wu had not delayed for even a moment when coming to Notting Academy.

What exactly was going on?

He always felt as though a piece of his heart had been hollowed out, and he grew more agitated by the day.

But as he watched the days pass, he could only suppress that hollow feeling and prepare some hidden weapons for self-defense. Then he heard a resentful muttering from next door.

"Damn it... those bastards... one day..."

Tang San looked puzzled. What was Gangzi muttering about so bitterly this time?

He had also noticed that Gangzi had been exceedingly strange lately.

From time to time, Gangzi would look gloomy and mutter to himself. Tang San had even seen him several times clutching his butt, with bloodstains on the back of his pants. This made Tang San even more suspicious.

After returning from rebirth, this world seemed to have deviated in certain ways.

Why had Gangzi become so strange lately?

And Tang San often smelled an overwhelmingly foul odor. That feeling...

Tang San considered it for a moment. It was like when someone got old and could no longer hold in their excrement.

No, there was also an extremely fishy stench.

That feeling, more precisely, was somewhat like...

Tonight...

At the thought, Tang San immediately revealed a disgusted expression.

What exactly had happened to Gangzi?

Why was he acting so strangely?

Tang San hurried closer and saw Yu Xiaogang holding a letter, his eyes bloodshot and his breathing heavy. Looking crazed, he muttered:

"Damn Rose Boy Band... One day, I'll destroy you all!"

The letter in Yu Xiaogang's hand had been sent by Scarface of the Rose Boy Band. Clearly, they were summoning him again.

Especially the last line of the letter:

"Rose, you wouldn't want anyone else to know about our business, would you?"

A rose seal was stamped in the corner of the letter, and a rose had been sent with it.

At the sight of that rose, Yu Xiaogang felt sick to his stomach. He constantly felt as if the scent of those people had stained his body and could never be washed away.

But that final sentence left him no choice but to crumple the letter into a ball and burn it to ashes in humiliation.

No one could ever see this thing. Otherwise, he, Yu Xiaogang...

The number one invincible theorist of the Soul Master world—how could he ever face anyone again?

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened as he clenched his fists.

Tang San had not yet been cultivated, so he could only endure for now.

Only those who endured what others could not endure could rise above others!

Seeing Yu Xiaogang about to push open the door and leave, Tang San hurriedly hid to one side. He watched Yu Xiaogang nervously look around, confirm that no one was watching him, and then cautiously head outside.

Only after a moment did Tang San emerge from the dark corner and follow after him uncertainly.

He was determined to see what the hell Gangzi was holding in!
