Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up from his chair, and in his surprise, he instinctively swept all the cups on the table to the ground.
He stared wide-eyed at Flender in front of him, his lips trembling slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Just now, he learned from Flender that Lin Mo's cultivation had broken through to the fifth ring and that his Martial Soul had undergone two consecutive Benign Mutation.
Both of these pieces of information were severely impacting his understanding.
A twelve-year-old Soul King, possessing a continuously mutated, External Beast Martial Soul.
How is that possible?
These two words kept echoing in Yu Xiaogang's mind, and he felt that he was having some difficulty breathing.
As a scholar who has studied Martial Soul Theory for decades, he understands better than anyone what these two achievements mean.
The fact that Lin Mo has reached the Soul King level means that his cultivation speed has broken all records in the history of the Douluo Continent.
And continuous mutation—especially benign continuous mutation—is unheard of!
"This is impossible—"
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but mutter to himself, his tone filled with disbelief.
Even so, he had already accepted this fact in his heart.
Not long ago, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family bestowed a very high honor upon the Nuoding Academy, because Nuoding Academy had cultivated an outstanding genius.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall also made an exception and issued a substantial reward to the Nuoding Academy.
These two events undoubtedly demonstrate that Lin Mo's talent has received great attention from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Spirit Hall.
If Lin Mo hadn't truly displayed talent that would have caught the attention of these two major powers, why would they have made such a grand display?
Yu Xiaogang's face suddenly turned somewhat pale.
Flender sighed inwardly as he looked at his old friend's distraught appearance.
He took two steps forward and patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder.
" Xiaogang, don't think about these things for now."
Flender's voice pulled Yu Xiaogang his daze.
Yu Xiaogang raised his head and looked at Flender, his eyes still filled with shock.
"Go check on Tang San," Flender said. "Something happened during this Soul Hunting."
Yu Xiaogang frowned.
What happened?
Flender was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "We were extremely unlucky on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, running into the Forest King, the Titan Giant Ape for some reason had rushed to the outer perimeter."
" Titan Giant Ape?" Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted.
As Grandmaster of Soul Master theory, he naturally understood what the Titan Giant Ape meant.
One of the kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, whose strength is comparable to that of a human Titled Douluo.
How could such a creature end up on the outskirts of the forest?
" Xiao Wu —she's been captured by the Titan Giant Ape." Flender's voice deepened. "We tried to Pursuit, but that thing is too fast; it disappeared in the blink of an eye."
" Xiao Wu and Tang San had an extremely close relationship, therefore, Xiao Wu's departure was a huge blow to Tang San."
Upon hearing Flender's words, Yu Xiaogang's expression turned even more grim.
Without further hesitation, he turned and walked towards Tang San's dormitory.
When Yu Xiaogang pushed open the door, the first thing he saw was Tang San's utterly dejected figure.
Tang San sat on the edge of the bed, his clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, and he exuded a lifeless aura.
What alarmed Yu Xiaogang the most was Tang San's eyes; those once bright and lively eyes were now dull and lifeless.
This was the first time Yu Xiaogang had ever seen Tang San in such a poor mental state.
He walked up to Tang San and said softly, " Xiao San."
Tang San slowly raised his head and looked at Yu Xiaogang, his eyes vacant.
"Teacher----"
His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.
Yu Xiaogang's heart tightened.
He sat down beside Tang San, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "I heard about Xiao Wu from Flender."
Tang San's body trembled slightly.
"I will find her," Tang San said, "No matter the cost."
But soon, Tang San shook his head as if he were denying his own decision.
"Teacher, you don't understand—" his voice was low, "That's Titan Giant Ape, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast —I'm too weak, I can't protect her—"
By the end, Tang San's voice was choked with emotion.
Looking at Tang San's appearance, Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt a surge of impulse.
He wanted to tell Tang San that his father was Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, one of the most powerful Titled Douluo in the world.
If Tang Hao were to intervene, it wouldn't be impossible to save Xiao Wu.
But when the words were about to come out, Yu Xiaogang hesitated.
When Tang Hao entrusted Tang San to him, he asked Yu Xiaogang not to tell Tang San about his background too early.
Is now the right time?
Yu Xiaogang fell silent.
At that moment, in the shadows outside the Shrek Academy, a figure stood silently.
Tang Hao frowned, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He naturally knew that Xiao Wu had been captured by the Titan Giant Ape.
In fact, he had been secretly following Tang San ever since Tang San entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
When the Titan Giant Ape appeared, he could have intervened, but ultimately he did not show himself.
The reason is simple: when the Titan Giant Ape captured Xiao Wu, although its movements were rough, it deliberately avoided vital points, clearly indicating that it had no intention of killing her.
Tang Hao was almost certain that there must be some kind of connection between Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape.
He is one of the few humans who knows Xiao Wu's true identity.
Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transformed and began its cultivation.
He kept this secret to himself and never told anyone.
Seeing Tang San so dejected because of Xiao Wu's departure, Tang Hao hesitated, wondering whether he should reveal Xiao Wu's true identity to Tang San in order to Tang San up.
If Tang San knew that Xiao Wu was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form and that she was not in Life danger, perhaps he could have regained his strength.
However, what has been preventing Tang Hao from making a decision is that although Tang San and Xiao Wu have a good relationship, they are currently only referring to each other as sworn siblings and have not yet broken through to the last layer of formality.
Tang Hao wasn't sure if his son could accept that Xiao Wu was Soul Beast.
If Tang San knew the truth, would he accept it calmly, or would he be unable to accept it, causing him to become even more despondent?
On the other side, in Spirit City, at the Pope Hall.
Bibi Dong was toying with two Soul Bone that emitted a faint glow.
These two Soul Bone are of quite good quality. Although they are only at the beginning of the ten-thousand-year age range, they were dropped by rare Subdragon Soul Beast.
If Yu Xiaogang could absorb these two Soul Bone, it would be of great benefit to his Luo Sanpao Martial Soul.
Perhaps this can solve the problem of Malignant Mutation of Martial Soul, allowing Luo Sanpao to complete a benign evolution.
Thinking of this, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on Bibi Dong's lips.
But soon, that curve disappeared again.
Not long ago, the people she sent to Nuoding City sent back news that Yu Xiaogang had already left Nuoding Academy.
This theoretical Grandmaster, who had served as a guest scholar at the Nuoding Academy for over a decade, suddenly resigned and disappeared without a trace.
Upon hearing this news, Bibi Dong was completely stunned.
She had prepared everything for Yu Xiaogang Yu Xiaogang: Soul Bone, information, and all sorts of resources that could potentially promote the Benign Mutation of his Martial Soul.
But now, the person who wants to collect these things can't be found.
Bibi Dong closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her agitated state.
Xiaogang ah----
Where did you go?
