Over the past few days, under the loss of control of his Martial Soul, Yang Feng's Soul Power had risen from level 46 to level 49.
"Damn it, why am I stuck at level 49 Soul Power? Why can't I keep improving?!"
Seeing that his Soul Power had stopped at level 49, Yang Feng felt a pang of heartache.
"Could Yu Xiaogang really have set me up?"
"There really might be something to it! Could Xiaogangzi have resented my exceptional talent and deliberately attached a thousand-year Soul Ring to my first Soul Ring, planting hidden dangers for my future cultivation?!"
After pondering for a long while, Yang Feng felt that his Martial Soul did not quite seem to be out of control.
"Why does this feel a little like poisoning?"
Yang Feng thought of someone—Dugu Bo!
In Sunset Forest, he was known as the Poison Douluo, skilled in both using poisons and curing them.
"Looks like I'll have to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to find Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot. I'll fight poison with poison, force the toxins out of my body, and stabilize my Martial Soul."
Seeing that his Martial Soul was in a chaotic, poisoned state, Yang Feng knew it would sooner or later cause even greater destruction within the academy.
While he could still suppress and control his Martial Soul, he planned to head to Sunset Forest and seek Dugu Bo's help.
Within Shrek Academy.
News of Yang Feng heading alone to Sunset Forest quickly caused a stir throughout the academy.
Before long, the matter reached Headmaster Flender's ears.
Thus, Headmaster Flender once again gathered the others in the academy to analyze the situation together.
Soon, everyone in the academy had assembled in the academy square, including Tang San.
The crowd's gazes, intentionally or otherwise, turned toward Tang San, as though hinting at something.
Tang San wore an innocent expression. "?"
"Why are you all looking at me? I'm an honest man who keeps to himself!"
"You can't just put the blame for being a bad guy on an honest man like me for no reason!"
Even under everyone's watchful eyes, Tang San continued pretending to be an honest man, acting as though he knew nothing about Yang Feng's Martial Soul losing control.
"You're all being unreasonable!"
Hearing Tang San's explanation, Flender could not find any fault with it, though his words did sound rather strange.
There was no other evidence to prove that Tang San had done it.
Seeing that no one in the academy could do anything to him, Tang San began admiring his handiwork.
At that moment, several students also began discussing Yang Feng's Martial Soul losing control.
"What? Didn't you hear? Yang Feng's Martial Soul has gone out of control recently! His mental state seems a little off too!"
"It's just like Li Huowang—he can't tell what's real from what's fake anymore!"
"Your background is a little complicated! Wait, who did you say? Li what?"
The uproar in the academy reached Headmaster Flender. Although Flender suspected Tang San's involvement, he had no way to verify it, giving him a terrible headache.
"Could Yang Feng's Martial Soul losing control be a flaw of his unusual Mutated Martial Soul?"
When Xiao Wu heard that Yang Feng's Martial Soul had lost control, she could not help but worry.
"Yang Feng should be all right, shouldn't he?" Her face was filled with concern.
"How could a Martial Soul lose control?"
Seeing Xiao Wu's worried expression, Ning Rongrong comforted her.
"It's all right. Yang Feng helps handle many matters in the academy now."
"This time, he probably left on his own because he didn't want his Martial Soul losing control to cause any losses or threats to the academy."
Zhu Zhuqing also spoke up, a rare occurrence.
"That's right! He'll definitely be fine, Xiao Wu. Don't worry too much."
"Brother Yang will definitely get through this crisis."
As he spoke, Ma Hongjun looked at Tang San standing beside him, wondering whether this blue-haired brat was behind Yang Feng's Martial Soul losing control.
Ma Hongjun issued a test of the soul. "Tang San, look me in the eyes and tell me—was Yang Feng's Martial Soul losing control your doing?"
Tang San declared his innocence. "Don't go around slandering me. Without evidence, you're spreading rumors about me!"
"Every day, I work honestly on increasing my own Soul Power. How could I possibly have the ability to make Yang Feng's Martial Soul lose control?"
After Tang San guided them like that, everyone abandoned their suspicions.
At that moment, Tang San was secretly overjoyed, but he did not show it on his face. He was an experienced player, after all.
While everyone in the academy was discussing whether they should send someone to support Yang Feng, who had gone alone to Sunset Forest after his Martial Soul lost control,
Tang San slipped out of the crowd and sent the news of Yang Feng's Martial Soul losing control to the Pope of Spirit Hall.
After all, he still had a Spirit Hall elder's token in his possession, while Shrek Academy had never given him anything useful.
At the very least, Tang San continued proving that he still had value.
"Ah! Even if I've become someone else's pawn, all I can do is let them order me around!"
"I still need to obtain enough cultivation resources as soon as possible. Only by becoming a god quickly can I truly establish myself on Douluo Continent and found my own sect!"
After leaving Shrek Academy, Yang Feng's arm continued to send out tearing pain. Forcefully suppressing his out-of-control Martial Soul had further increased the burden on his body.
Within Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong sat upon the throne of Spirit Hall, her slender fingers lightly resting on the top of her scepter.
She was waiting for Tang San to provide useful information about Shrek Academy.
"Oh! My pawn has sent back news."
Bibi Dong read the secret letter. It said that Tang San had poisoned Yang Feng and that Yang Feng was heading to Sunset Forest.
Her fingertips tapped faintly against the scepter as she summoned Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who stood nearby.
"I have a task for you. Go to Sunset Forest and help me deal with that poisoned man named Yang Feng."
"Since he refuses to be of use to me, then we will destroy him completely!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan immediately set out for Sunset Forest to find Yang Feng.
Deep within Sunset Forest.
"This place in Sunset Forest should be near where Dugu Bo is, right?" Yang Feng continued forcibly suppressing the chaotic state of his Martial Soul.
Having expended a massive amount of Soul Power, Yang Feng finally arrived before Dugu Bo, but he was already nearly out of strength.
"Lord Poison Douluo, I have a way to cure the poison in your granddaughter's body..."
"And I can also cure the poison in your body..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Feng collapsed before Dugu Bo.
In Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo was enduring pain throughout his body as though it had been pierced by countless steel needles, and his emotions were extremely unstable.
"You said you can cure my granddaughter's poison. Is that true?"
Yang Feng used his last bit of strength to nod before falling completely unconscious.
Looking at the unconscious Yang Feng, Dugu Bo became curious about the method of detoxification he had mentioned.
