You're a Real Bald-Headed Genius, Grandmaster

Tang San stood beside Yu Xiaogang.

His gaze was sharp, his eyes tinged with purple.

His Purple Demon Eye took in every anomaly within.

He stared fixedly at the forest behind them, his hand already resting quietly on his Soul Tool.

It was as though something lurked inside.

A breath passed.

Tang San said gravely, "You two, if you mean us no harm, why not come out and meet us?"

As he spoke, five Iron Needles had already appeared in his hand.

If those two showed any hostility toward him, he would kill them immediately!

What?

Someone was there?!

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang also turned a solemn gaze toward the depths of the forest.

A rustling sound came from the bushes among the trees.

Under Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's watchful eyes, two figures walked straight out of the undergrowth.

Ye Fan had never expected to fool Tang San's practically cheating eyes.

He greeted Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

"Hey, Tang San. What a coincidence."

Tang San froze when he saw Ye Fan.

Then his gaze involuntarily shifted to the pink-clad figure beside Ye Fan.

"Xiao Wu! What are you doing here? Ye Fan, how could you bring Xiao Wu somewhere so dangerous?!"

Tang San couldn't hold back his startled cry.

Wasn't Xiao Wu supposed to be attending classes at the academy right now?!

At that thought, he looked at Ye Fan with resentment filling his eyes.

If Xiao Wu got hurt...

Hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately furrowed her brows and folded her arms, stepping in front of Ye Fan.

"Tang San, why do you have so much crap to say?

"If it weren't for us, you'd both be getting processed in the Gale Demon Wolves' stomachs by now. Hurry up and thank us!"

Once Xiao Wu spoke up, that little trace of suspicion in Tang San's heart vanished like smoke. He scratched his head awkwardly.

So Xiao Wu had saved them...

Then everything was fine.

"Wait... you said you saved us. So you were behind that arrow?!"

Yu Xiaogang caught the key point in Xiao Wu's words and looked at the two of them with a frown.

He had never seen this little girl before.

Of course, he wasn't particularly interested in her either.

But he knew these two were the culprits who had sent Luo Sanpao soaring to heaven!

At this, Ye Fan sneered.

"Grandmaster, what exactly are you trying to say?

"We saw you surrounded and kindly helped you out, yet you're turning around and blaming us?

"Careful you don't sprain your tongue."

Yu Xiaogang naturally dismissed Ye Fan's accusations.

They hadn't needed these two children sticking their noses into their business in the first place.

This was his dignity as the Grandmaster!

He was just about to retort when his tongue inexplicably began to sting.

It felt as though someone had punched it!

Yu Xiaogang grunted and covered his mouth in pain.

That damned brat... did he have a crow's mouth?!

No wonder he'd awakened a tongue!

"Teacher, Ye Fan and Xiao Wu meant well. There's no point arguing over who's right or wrong here. Danger lurks everywhere in this forest, so let's stop fighting."

Seeing things take a bad turn, Tang San hurried forward to play peacemaker.

"Hmph..."

Yu Xiaogang snorted and turned his back.

His bare scalp was exposed, gleaming brightly.

He wasn't conceding defeat. There was something wrong with his tongue.

Only then did Tang San breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Wu wanted to keep scolding him, but Ye Fan held her back.

Just then, she heard Ye Fan's inner voice again.

[I can't let them scold Yu Xiaogang into running away... how am I supposed to give them terrible advice if he leaves?]

Remembering that Ye Fan's belly was full of wicked schemes, Xiao Wu quieted down and waited patiently for him to work his magic.

The atmosphere had only just eased.

Tang San moved over to Ye Fan and Xiao Wu.

"Ye Fan, what are you two doing here?"

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.

What kind of stupid question was that?

"Obviously, everyone who comes here has only one purpose. Same as you."

"No, I mean..."

Tang San hurriedly waved his hands and lowered his voice.

Then his eyes shifted toward Xiao Wu.

Ye Fan immediately understood what Tang San meant.

So this kid didn't know anything.

The corners of his mouth curled upward.

"Xiao Wu also has innate full Soul Power and needs a Soul Ring. Didn't you know?"

Tang San shook his head blankly.

Seeing this, Ye Fan silently twisted the knife in his thoughts.

[Oh dear... looks like Tang San still hasn't managed to get close to Xiao Wu. He doesn't even know something as basic as her Soul Power. Tsk, tsk.]

Tang San: "..."

Tang San was rather speechless. He really wanted to say one thing.

He didn't choose his friends based on how much Soul Power they had!

While the two spoke, Yu Xiaogang pricked up his ears nearby.

He keenly caught one crucial phrase.

Innate full Soul Power!

How was that possible?!

There were actually three people with innate full Soul Power in a tiny place like Nuoding Academy?!

Damn it, why hadn't anyone told him this?

To him, the more test subjects with innate full Soul Power, the better.

With that thought, he prepared to summon Luo Sanpao back and show off his skills in front of this little girl.

"Aaargh!!!"

When Yu Xiaogang ended the possession, all of Luo Sanpao's injuries and conditions transferred to his own body.

A burning sensation instantly washed over him.

His scream immediately drew the attention of the other three.

Yu Xiaogang was already trembling as he sank down onto all fours.

"Teacher... are-are you okay?"

Watching Yu Xiaogang's inexplicable behavior, Tang San regretted taking this man as his teacher even more.

What was he doing now?

No Soul Beast was attacking, so why was he screaming like some Bakugan kid?

Yu Xiaogang's body burned with pain, his lips were pale, and he couldn't utter a word.

Luo Sanpao had simply had far too much fuel.

After his mortal flesh had burned for so long, Yu Xiaogang felt as though he had lost all contact with his daisy.

Luo Sanpao's backside had been cooked through. Yu Xiaogang's hadn't, but he had inherited the burns all the same.

"X-Xiaosan... I think... I've lost something..."

Huh?

Confusion appeared on Tang San's face. His mind raced as he recalled what had happened.

"Teacher, did something happen to Luo Sanpao?"

Yu Xiaogang trembled and nodded, then shook his head.

That only left Tang San more bewildered.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's condition, Ye Fan burst out laughing.

No... he hadn't lost it. It was cooked!

"Grandmaster, behind you..."

Ye Fan pointed at the back of Yu Xiaogang's robe, struggling to keep his lips from curling into a grin.

If losing blood counted as losing something...

Then Yu Xiaogang's judgment really wasn't wrong.

A real bald-headed genius, Grandmaster!

Tang San looked behind Yu Xiaogang in confusion, then sucked in a sharp breath.

He was hemorrhaging!!!

"Teacher, you've blown out your backside!!"

Yu Xiaogang reached behind himself and was badly frightened too.

"Xiaosan, hurry and save me!!"

After a bout of chickens-flying-and-dogs-jumping chaos, Tang San followed Yu Xiaogang's instructions and found Golden Wound Medicine and gauze in one compartment of the Soul Tool.

Somewhat disgusted by Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu stayed far away.

Ye Fan watched from the side with great interest.

He hadn't expected Gangzi to be so flexible.
