Yu Xiaogang physically ravaged? Yu Xiaogang mentally shattered! Yu Xiaogang adapted ahead of time!

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang instantly burned with rage.

He really wanted to point at Tang San standing in the tree and curse him out.

You call this looking for an opening to break through?

Are you sure you aren't abandoning your teacher to save yourself?

What a treacherous disciple.

But angry as he was...

He naturally couldn't say any of those curses aloud.

Tang Hao had to be watching from the shadows. If he chose to curse Tang San, he would be the only one to suffer.

Of course, that wasn't what mattered.

What mattered was, if he openly fell out with Tang San, what if Tang San lost faith in him?

If things really reached that point...

The script he had painstakingly devised to turn Tang San and Tang Hao against each other would have to come to an end.

There was another important point.

He would find it even harder to shake off the title of useless Grandmaster afterward.

After all, once a rift formed between master and disciple, it simply couldn't be mended.

Unable to curse aloud, Yu Xiaogang could only silently beat a wooden prayer fish in his heart.

He prayed frantically for Tang Hao to appear soon.

If he still didn't appear...

These Soul Beasts would literally poke him full of holes like a hornet's nest today.

But reality was often all skin and bones.

If prayers worked...

What would anyone need strength for?

The Soul Beasts had already reached Yu Xiaogang. They pounced straight onto him, pinning him to the ground, and stuck out long, slimy tongues to lick his face frantically.

As for those Apes in Heat...

Heh.

Those who knew, knew.

The scene was so beautiful it practically seared the eyes.

In an instant...

An utterly absurd scene unfolded.

"No! You beasts, get off me! Not there! Get away!"

"Get away from me! Waaa... I'm no longer clean! I'm completely sullied!"

Yu Xiaogang struggled desperately, but against such an overwhelming advantage in weight and strength, all his struggles were useless.

He could only rage impotently.

Until, finally, Yu Xiaogang's mental defenses collapsed completely, and he began to weep bitterly.

Up in the tree.

Tang San took in the entire scene and instantly shuddered.

He really wanted to go down and help his teacher.

But there was nothing he could do. Going down now would only make this a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

So he could only watch helplessly as the Soul Beasts pinned his teacher to the ground and ground him down.

Teacher, rest in peace... no, just endure it for now. Your disciple will avenge you. I will repay today's humiliation a hundredfold.

A trace of guilt arose in Tang San's heart.

But that trace of guilt lasted only a fraction of a second before his powerful desire to survive overwhelmed it.

He could only comfort himself silently.

In the shadows.

As Yu Xiaogang was about to be cruelly ravaged by the Soul Beasts, Ah Yin very sensibly closed her eyes.

This was no longer merely an eyesore. It was practically magical-level mental contamination.

Never mind watching it-even hearing these sounds now would give her nightmares tonight.

But Lin Chuan was completely different.

He watched with relish. If only he had some sunflower seeds, he would have loved to sit down for a fully immersive viewing experience.

However...

When Lin Chuan's gaze swept over Tang San's figure in the tree, the relish on his face instantly vanished, replaced by anger that shot straight into the clouds.

"A mere Tang San, such an unfilial disciple!"

"The bond between master and disciple is the purest relationship in the world, the one that should never be desecrated. How could you watch your own esteemed teacher suffer down there? This is going too far! If this can be tolerated, what cannot?"

Lin Chuan grew deeply distressed, his voice filled with condemnation of this moral decline.

Immediately afterward...

Lin Chuan's eyes shifted, and he declared with a resolute gaze:

"In that case, I can only take action myself and carry out justice on Heaven's behalf."

Hearing this declaration, the corners of Ah Yin's mouth twitched slightly.

As expected of Lord Auspicious Beast. His words really gave the impression that he plainly wanted to torment Tang San, yet he still put on an air of righteous indignation.

Although she knew that declaration was somewhat shameless...

For some reason, she liked Lord Auspicious Beast more and more.

With that thought, Lin Chuan planned to let Tang San experience the same torment as Yu Xiaogang.

Of course, this couldn't be called torment.

It could only be called adapting ahead of time.

As for why it was called adapting ahead of time, the reason was actually quite simple.

There would still be the Goblins' ravaging later. If he couldn't even adapt to this, how would he withstand the Goblins afterward?

And so, Lin Chuan directly activated the Qilin Bloodline within his body.

The next second, the human-shaped Lin Chuan instantly vanished, replaced by Lin Chuan in Qilin form.

One point needed to be mentioned here.

In human form, Lin Chuan's strength came from his Soul Power Level.

But after transforming into a Qilin, he no longer relied on Soul Power, relying only on the cultivation a Soul Beast had cultivated.

At this moment, the Qilin Lin Chuan had transformed into possessed nearly a thousand years of cultivation.

And this nearly thousand-year cultivation was nothing short of a dimensional-reduction strike against Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

Moreover, for a high-ranking divine beast like a Qilin, fighting across realms was an instinct engraved in its very flesh and bones.

Even with only nearly a thousand years of cultivation, it wouldn't flinch at all against a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

After assuming his Qilin form...

Lin Chuan let out a tremendous roar.

This roar served as a signal.

And that signal was directed at the Soul Beasts working hard to torment Yu Xiaogang.

The signal's message was simple and clear. Translated, it amounted to only a few words.

That's it?

I'm very disappointed!

At that moment, the Soul Beasts that had been clearing Yu Xiaogang like a game stage all froze at once.

Terror appeared on every beast's face.

The Soul Beasts: Oh no! The old one's angry! He's not satisfied! Brothers, we can't let the boss underestimate our bonds!

And so, this pack of Soul Beasts unleashed unprecedented potential and worked even harder.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Yu Xiaogang suffered even more and couldn't help bursting into loud sobs.

I'd already adapted to that rhythm! Why are these bastards working even harder now? Damn it!

Tang San stood in the tree.

Hearing that roar, he instantly grew terrified.

He could sense that an even stronger Soul Beast seemed to be heading this way.

At that moment, Tang San gritted his teeth, wanting to abandon Yu Xiaogang outright and flee.

But when he remembered that Yu Xiaogang was his teacher, he began to hesitate.

Very soon, however, Tang San found himself a perfect excuse and comforted himself inwardly:

Teacher will be fine. Teacher said a powerful expert was protecting us from the shadows. Although I don't know why this expert still hasn't shown himself, he will sooner or later. I'm only leaving first to preserve my life so I can avenge Teacher later. That's right. That's all it is.
