Yu Xiaogang's Beating

"Ha ha ha! What did you say? Her Ladyship, the Saintess brought you in? Who the hell do you think you are? You think you're qualified to know Her Ladyship, the Saintess? And that she brought you to the Fourth floor of our Spirit City Central Library?"

"Do you take us for idiots?!"

On the Fourth floor of Spirit City Central Library, when the Guard before Yu Xiaogang heard him claim that Saintess Bibi Dong had brought him in, he immediately burst into laughter, his face full of mockery.

"Kid, I can tell that you're only a Soul Master."

"Looking at your age, you must be over twenty. Over twenty and still only a Soul Master—you're trash among trash! You think someone like you deserves to know Her Ladyship, the Saintess? Pah!"

As he finished, the Guard spat on the floor, his gaze at Yu Xiaogang filled with contempt and disdain.

Humiliated so thoroughly by the Guard, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, rage boiling in his heart.

Once the Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang had been held in great esteem within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. But on the day of the Soul Awakening Ceremony, he had failed to awaken the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul, awakening instead the utterly degenerated Luo Sanpao Soul.

This had subjected Yu Xiaogang to endless humiliation within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

What Yu Xiaogang hated most was being called trash.

Humiliated by a mere Spirit Hall Guard, Yu Xiaogang practically wanted to tear the Guard before him to pieces. For a moment, he even came to resent Bibi Dong and Su Mo.

Damn it! Damn Bibi Dong!

If Bibi Dong hadn't insisted on leaving with that little bastard Su Mo to visit Spirit City, how would I have ended up in this humiliating situation!

Yu Xiaogang had never been a broad-minded person. On the contrary, he could be called someone intensely insecure and self-centered.

In the original story, Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang's relationship had been anything but poor, and Bibi Dong had given Yu Xiaogang no small amount.

Yet after Bibi Dong was violated by Qian Xunji, in order to protect Yu Xiaogang, she merely sought him out and pretended to coldly call him trash before breaking up with him.

Yu Xiaogang actually flew into a helpless rage at Bibi Dong before fleeing.

That showed just how deeply insecure and self-centered he was.

He had never considered whether Bibi Dong might have had some unspeakable reason.

After all, if Bibi Dong had truly looked down on him, she would never have helped him in so many ways before, much less wanted to elope with him.

But Yu Xiaogang had never thought about any of that, nor did he want to.

Still, though he was furious inside, faced with a Guard far stronger than himself, Yu Xiaogang could only swallow his humiliation and force a smile.

"Big Brother, I really wasn't lying to you. I came with Her Ladyship, the Saintess. If you don't believe me, you can ask the two Guards here!"

"Oh?"

The Guard merely sneered at Yu Xiaogang's explanation.

"Fine! I'll take you to ask them right now. If what you say is true, then naturally I won't pursue your responsibility any further. But if you're lying, don't blame me for being rude!"

Gulp!

Hearing the Guard's words, Yu Xiaogang swallowed with great difficulty, cold sweat pouring from his body.

But by now, he had nowhere left to retreat.

After the Guard dragged him to the entrance of the Fourth floor, the Guard looked at the two Guards stationed there and asked directly.

"Hey, brothers, this guy says Her Ladyship, the Saintess brought him here. Do you know whether he's telling the truth or not?"

"Uh... we really didn't notice."

The two Guards shook their heads.

Quite a few people entered the Fourth floor every day. They wore heavy armor and helmets, so their vision was poor to begin with. How could they possibly keep track of everyone who came to the Fourth floor?

However, Her Ladyship, the Saintess had indeed come to the Fourth floor today.

But unfortunately, she had come with Su Mo, who had awakened an Innate Full Soul Power Soul at the Soul Awakening Ceremony. As for whether the man before them had been with them, they had no impression at all.

It's over!

Hearing the two Guards' words, Yu Xiaogang's vision went black, and he nearly fainted on the spot.

He knew he was in deep trouble!

"You... think again! There's no way you don't remember! I was clearly right behind Bibi Dong at the time!!"

Realizing that he would likely be seized and subjected to brutal interrogation, Yu Xiaogang became almost hysterical in his extreme panic. He stepped forward, grabbed the two Guards' arms, and shook them frantically.

"Impudence! How dare you insult Her Ladyship, the Saintess!!"

Already having a poor impression of Yu Xiaogang, when the Guard who had brought him over heard him directly call Bibi Dong by name, he flew into a rage and slapped Yu Xiaogang across the face.

With a sharp slap!, Yu Xiaogang spun around in place before crashing to the floor, his mind buzzing from the blow.

"He dares call Her Ladyship, the Saintess by name. Looks like this man really is a spy. Take him away!"

Nearby, the Guard Captain and the other Guards who had just finished searching the Fourth floor had somehow returned to the entrance. Seeing Yu Xiaogang disrespect Bibi Dong, the Guard Captain sneered and waved for his men to drag Yu Xiaogang away.

"Let me go! Let me go! I'm not a spy! Her Ladyship, the Saintess brought me here! If you don't believe me, go ask Her Ladyship, the Saintess! Ask Her Ladyship, the Saintess!"

After several Guards roughly seized him, Yu Xiaogang, having recovered his senses, still refused to give up. He struggled furiously, trying to make the Guards go ask Bibi Dong.

But how could the Guards believe Yu Xiaogang?

After each of the Guards holding Yu Xiaogang gave him a slap, swelling both sides of his face until it looked like a pig's head, Yu Xiaogang finally quieted down.

The Guards sneered as they dragged Yu Xiaogang, whose face had swollen into a pig's head and whose eyes were vacant, out of Spirit City Central Library like a prisoner and took him to the Hall of Punishment, which specifically handled spies.

At this moment, inside the Hall of Punishment, in a dim prison cell.

Several flaming torches were fixed to the surrounding walls. Yu Xiaogang was bound to a wooden post with iron chains. Before him was a brazier of blazing red coals, while numerous instruments of torture lay arranged around him.

"Heh! This guy is called Yu Xiaogang. He's actually from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but why isn't his Martial Soul the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul? What's this Luo Sanpao Soul?"

After bringing Yu Xiaogang to the Hall of Punishment, a Guard removed Yu Xiaogang's Storage Soul Tool and found his Martial Soul Certificate inside. Looking at the information on it, he could not help feeling confused.

"Give it back! Give it back to me now!"

Hearing the Guard mention his Martial Soul, Yu Xiaogang's swollen pig-like face flushed red, and he roared angrily at the Guard.

His Martial Soul was not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul but the Luo Sanpao Soul. This was the eternal pain of his life, yet these people were talking about it here—it was like rubbing salt into his wounds.

"What the hell are you shouting for! You're from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, yet you dared sneak into the Central Library of our Spirit Hall and peek at our Secret Library. I haven't even properly taught you a lesson yet!"

Roared at by trash like Yu Xiaogang, the Guards standing before him—especially the one holding Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul Certificate—were furious. One of them immediately grabbed a leather whip from nearby and lashed it viciously across Yu Xiaogang's body.

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

For a moment, amid the dull thuds of the whip striking flesh, shrill screams like those of a slaughtered pig rang out from the prison cell.

"Heh heh, weren't you pretty capable, kid? You can't take a few lashes? Let me tell you, we're only getting started. Keep enjoying it slowly! Ha ha!"
