Thirty Years East of the River, Thirty Years West-Never Scorn a Youth for Being Poor!

Blades of blue silver grass sprouted from the ground, binding Yu Xiaogang in an instant, along with Luo Sanpao, whom he had summoned.

"Die!"

First restrain, then kill!

There was no hesitation, just decisive action.

Invisible sword qi formed a blade and slew Luo Sanpao on the spot.

As a mutated beast martial soul with a physical body, Luo Sanpao only had the strength of a hundred-year soul beast, and lacked even a hundred-year soul beast's thick hide and tough flesh. Before Link's Invisible Sword Qi, Luo Sanpao's grunting cut off abruptly.

With his martial soul dead, Yu Xiaogang was implicated as well, suffering grievous injuries.

"Xiaogang-"

Liu Erlong came charging over.

Her voice arrived before she did.

Even as she ran, Liu Erlong activated her Martial Soul Avatar.

At over level seventy, Liu Erlong already ranked among the Douluo Continent's high-level combatants. Her martial soul was of particularly high quality, making her overall combat strength rather formidable.

Suffering from terminal love sickness, she went straight into berserk mode when she saw her beloved injured.

"This woman really has no brains!"

Seeing Liu Erlong unleash her ultimate move right away, Link followed suit. Without any preliminary probing, he went straight for his divine ability, the Six-Zhang Golden Body.

The golden light was so dazzling that no one dared look directly at it.

The next moment, the golden light dispersed, and everything fell still.

Liu Erlong, who had just activated her Martial Soul Avatar, lay sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, unconscious.

Meanwhile, Link strolled out of the nearby grove at his leisure, already wearing a change of clothes.

Until he found some exceptionally stretchy clothes, this was the best solution Link could think of for the aftermath of using the Six-Zhang Golden Body.

Defeat the enemy in one move, then disappear and get dressed.

He had no desire to let his bird hang out in broad daylight. That would be a lifelong disgrace.

"You, you..."

The Little Demoness, Ning Rongrong, looked at the scene before her, no longer knowing what to say.

Xiao Wu was equally stunned!

That pretty woman had clearly used her Martial Soul Avatar, a soul skill only soul masters at Soul Saint rank or above could use, yet Link had knocked her flat with a single blow.

How was that possible?

Had Link really been weak before, or had he been pretending?

How long had they even been apart?

Why had Link become so strong?

Was this what it meant to be the Group Leader?

Xiao Wu's eyes grew brighter and brighter!

If the Group Leader could become this strong, then surely a group member would not do too badly either.

She would definitely succeed!

"Just the basics. No need for applause!"

Link waved a hand casually.

Tang San was just as shocked.

He simply could not imagine how Link, who had once been utterly incapable of resisting him, had become so strong.

Could the Douluo Continent also have cases of peerless experts passing on cultivation?

Link did not attack Tang San again. Instead, he looked at him and sighed. "Little San, could you not be so hasty next time?"

"Which eye of yours saw me bullying Xiao Wu?"

"We haven't seen each other in ages. We were just saying hello and exchanging a few moves. Could you get your head on straight?"

"Now look at this. You've stirred up all this trouble. Tell me, how are we going to resolve it?"

Link pointed at Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, who lay unconscious on the ground, signaling for Tang San to offer a solution.

"You beat up my teacher and this senior, and you're asking me how to resolve it?"

Tang San looked as though he had heard something utterly unreasonable, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Link spread his hands. "Am I wrong?"

"If you hadn't accused me without cause, if you hadn't attacked me, would any of this have happened?"

"Are you a man or not?"

"You cause trouble, then turn around and try to wash your hands of all responsibility?"

Link's words struck straight at the heart of the matter.

Tang San fell silent. Only after a long while did he slowly raise his head and look at Link. "Right now, you're stronger than me. However you say we should resolve this, that's how we'll resolve it!"

"But, Link, I will never submit!"

"One day, I will defeat you!"

"Oh, I get it. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west-never scorn a youth for being poor!"

Link chuckled.

Those words should have belonged to his former self. They should have been his lines!

But now, if Tang San wanted to say them, then let him!

After all, never scorn a youth for being poor, never scorn a middle-aged man for being poor, never scorn an old man for being poor, and respect the dead!

"I'm sorry!"

"From now on, I'll ask what happened first!"

Tang San apologized to Link, feeling deeply wronged.

With that aggrieved look, anyone who did not know better might have thought he was about to cry!

"I accept your apology!"

"Well then, if there's nothing else, we'll be off!"

Link had come to find Xiao Wu to give her the immortal herb, the eight-petal immortal orchid.

He also wanted Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then bring her into the Chat Group!

Tang San merely snorted and said nothing more.

"Xiao Wu, come on. Let's go look at your present first!"

The present in question was, naturally, the eight-petal immortal orchid.

Tang San could only watch helplessly as Xiao Wu left with Link and Ning Rongrong. Only after the three had gone far away did he remember Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, who were still lying on the ground.

Before Tang San could approach them, however, both of them groaned and woke up.

The moment Liu Erlong woke, before even checking her own condition, she began calling for Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiaogang..."

"Little San, help me back!"

Yu Xiaogang ignored Liu Erlong, who was forcing herself to sit up, and instead called for Tang San to help him to his feet.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang felt utterly too ashamed to face Liu Erlong.

He had been defeated in a single blow by a former student of Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, and Liu Erlong had witnessed that humiliating scene in all its clarity.

Yu Xiaogang felt he had never been so humiliated.

Right now, all he wanted was to get away from Liu Erlong.

Unfortunately, Liu Erlong did not understand Yu Xiaogang at all, nor did she know what mattered most to him.

Once Tang San helped Yu Xiaogang away, Liu Erlong also struggled to her feet.

"Dean Liu Erlong!"

Tang Yuehua approached from nearby. No matter when it was, this woman always looked dignified and elegant, as though nothing could move her.

"Pavilion Mistress!"

Liu Erlong looked at Tang Yuehua, her gaze flickering.

"Dean Liu Erlong, what do you make of what just happened?"

Tang Yuehua had been there for a while.

Although she did not recognize the Six-Zhang Golden Body, it had reminded her of the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill uploaded to the Chat Group.

She had practiced that cultivation method too. It was remarkable.

She could not do what Link had done, but she knew they shared the same origin.

Hearing Tang Yuehua's question, Liu Erlong was somewhat bewildered. What did she make of it? What could she make of it? She had been knocked unconscious in one blow. She had not gotten to see anything!

"That child just now-didn't you find his methods familiar?"

"No!"

Although Liu Erlong had returned to the Chat Group as a Visitor, she had only used the Chat Group to find Yu Xiaogang. After that, she had paid no further attention to the conversations within it.

This woman was devoted to love to an abnormal degree!

Tang Yuehua was quite speechless.

She suddenly wondered whether she should tell Liu Erlong about the Group Leader. After all, Link's martial soul just now had been blue silver grass, and the Group Leader's name was Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass!
