Gangzi Was Taking Xiao Wu Out? What Was Going On?

Yu Xiaogang turned around and glanced at the edge of the Training Ground.

"Ye Lin, come here."

Ye Lin was talking to Xiao Wu when he heard the shout and quickly went over, "Teacher."

"Get ready, you're coming with me."

"Okay. I'll tell Xiao Wu."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "It's not just about saying it. Take Xiao Wu with you."

Ye Lin was taken aback.

He looked at Yu Xiaogang's face, but couldn't discern any extra emotion. He nodded, didn't ask any further questions, and turned to walk towards the Training Ground.

He first approached Oscar and Ma Hongjun, and exchanged a few brief words with them.

She then turned to stand in front of Zhu Zhuqing, her voice a beat lower than before. "I need to go out for a while. With the teacher. I'll be back in a few days."

When are you coming back?

Ye Lin thought for a moment, "It's hard to say. It could be a few days at the fastest, or ten days to half a month at the slowest."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't ask any more questions, but simply crossed her arms over her chest and slightly raised her chin. "Be careful on the road."

Dai Mubai walked over from the side.

"Are you going out? I wanted to talk to you about something."

"In that case, let's wait until you get back to discuss it."

Be careful when you go out.

"Good!"

Ye Lin walked up to Xiao Wu and repeated what he had just said, "The Grandmaster wants to take the two of us out for a while."

Xiao Wu looked up at Ye Lin's face, and her eyes lit up!

"Very good!"

Tang San stood at the other end of the Training Ground and frowned when he saw this scene.

no.

Gangzi is taking Xiao Wu and Ye Lin out together?

What's going on?

He mentally searched through his memories; this part of the story was completely absent from his previous life.

He racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Yu Xiaogang, along with Ye Lin and Xiao Wu, followed Tai Tan out of the academy.

Tai Nuo and Tai Long walked at the very back. Tai Long's steps were much lighter than before, and Tai Nuo's complexion was much better than at noon.

The group arrived at the stronghold of the Strength Clan.

There are two stone orangutan statues standing at the door, and a plaque with the word "Power" written on the lintel.

The clanging of hammers echoed from the courtyard, and the glow of flames from several furnaces shone through the open roof.

Tai Tan pushed open the door to the main hall and stepped aside to let Yu Xiaogang in.

Several long tables were set up in the main room, and a row of ironware was neatly stacked on each table.

The Godly Zhuge Crossbow, the Sand-Containing Shadow Arrow, and the Flying God Claw were laid out one by one, each one polished to a gleaming shine.

Yu Xiaogang over, picked up a Godly Zhuge Crossbow, examined it, pulled the Mechanical Trigger, put it down, and then picked up the Sand-Containing Shadow and glanced at it.

He nodded and stored all the crafted Hidden Weapon in his Storage Soul Tool.

"Chief Tai, we will need your continued assistance in crafting more. The larger the quantity, the better."

Tai Tan nodded repeatedly. "Rest assured, I will spare no effort to do these things well."

He pulled his hands out of his sleeves, rubbed them together, and then shifted his gaze from Yu Xiaogang's face to Ye Lin's.

"Grandmaster, I would like to test this child. Is that alright?"

Yu Xiaogang raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look at Ye Lin.

Ye Lin took half a step forward. "Teacher, I can."

He turned to face Tai Tan, his tone calm. "Senior, how would you like to test me?"

Tai Tan picked up an incense stick from the table and held it up in his hand. "Endure my pressure for the duration of an incense stick."

Ye Lin nodded. "Okay."

Tai Tan smiled slightly. "Then you'd better be mentally prepared."

With a flick of his right hand, the incense stick was lit in mid-air and stuck into the ground.

A tiny red glow emanated from the incense stick, and wisps of smoke rose into the air.

Tai Tan raised a hand.

The rest of the people in the main room quickly retreated.

Tai Nuo and Tai Long retreated to the base of the wall, while Yu Xiaogang took two steps back to give them room to maneuver. Xiao Wu moved to Yu Xiaogang's side.

Tai Tan spread his feet apart, lowered his center of gravity, and a surge of Soul Power flowed from his body, pressing down on Ye Lin.

The air in the main room seemed to have been squeezed from the middle.

Ye Lin stood still, motionless.

30%.

Tai Tan silently recited a phrase in his mind and increased his Soul Power by a certain amount.

50%.

His son, Tai Nuo, couldn't even last 50%.

Ye Lin stood still, without moving.

Tai Tan's brow twitched, and he raised his Soul Power to 60%.

Ye Lin frowned, his feet sinking half an inch into the ground before regaining his balance.

70%.

80%.

Ye Lin's feet sank half an inch into the ground, and two fine cracks appeared in the bluestone bricks beneath his feet.

He pulled his hands to his sides, unable to hold back any longer.

Four Spirit Ring, one yellow, one purple, and one black, rose from beneath his feet.

The warehouse fell silent.

Tai Nuo opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again.

Tai Long's eyes widened.

Among the disciples of the Strength Clan who were watching the commotion at the door, some took a half step back, while others swallowed hard.

The fourth ring will last for ten thousand years.

Who can compare to that?

Tai Tan raised an eyebrow, glanced at the black Fourth Spirit Ring, and his lips twitched.

Although I already knew that Ye Lin's Fourth Spirit Ring was black, I was still surprised when I actually saw it.

He increased his Soul Power even further, to ninety percent.

Ye Lin's pressure increased once again.

The dark gold claws sprang out from between his knuckles, and the pressure on Ye Lin dropped sharply the moment the External Soul Bone appeared.

But in Tai Tan's eyes, this was the true summoning of his Martial Soul.

"Kid, I'm going to go all out now, watch out!"

"Please, senior!"

Seeing that Ye Lin still had the strength to speak, Tai Tan no longer hesitated and increased his pressure to its maximum.

That was the overwhelming pressure he exerted with all his might.

Ye Lin's shoulders slumped slightly.

Ye Lin's External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, wanted to appear and defend him, but he suppressed the impulse.

His skin split open from his shoulders to his waist, revealing bloody cracks that made a sizzling sound as the flesh ripped and popped. But before the cracks could fully open, they closed up again.

The body's self-healing ability instantly closed up the torn skin and flesh.

This scene was extremely chilling.

at the same time,

He could feel the medicinal effects of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot being absorbed more rapidly under that oppressive force.

The medicinal power circulated along the meridians, more than twice as fast as usual.

He stood there, his feet sinking half an inch into the ground, his teeth clenched so tightly they were grinding, but his back was ramrod straight.

Tai Tan's Soul Power continued to press upwards. Every second he felt that Ye Lin was about to collapse, but Ye Lin stood firmly.

Xiao Wu stood at the base of the wall, her hands gripping the hem of her skirt. Her gaze swept back and forth between the Ye Lin and the incense stick twice, then she stared at the incense stick, watching the red light at the tip of the incense gradually descend to the base.

She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Time's up! Time's up!"
