"Brother Little Nine, my Evil Fire is no ordinary thing. You should have heard that my original Martial Soul was just a low-level chicken, and it was only through this Evil Fire that I Martial Soul Evolution into Phoenix..."
In a dormitory of the junior class at the Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun was earnestly trying to sell his Evil Fire to a boy, but the blue-haired boy remained unmoved, his expression unchanged from beginning to end.
"You can go out now; I need to talk to him about something."
Before Ma Hongjun could finish speaking, the blue-haired boy Little Nine waved for him to leave first, while his gaze remained fixed on Tang San, who was leaning against the door.
"Well..."
Ma Hongjun also sensed that something was wrong. He glanced at Little Nine, then at Tang San leaning against the door, and finally silently walked out.
This is a matter between brothers; it's not appropriate for an outsider like him to get involved.
Now all we can do is pray that the third brother can persuade his younger brother!
Is it because of Sister Xiao Wu?
After a long silence, Little Nine suddenly spoke.
He knew perfectly well that although the fat man spoke eloquently, he only mentioned the benefits of that Evil Fire, downplaying its drawbacks.
They really think they can fool him like that!
"It has nothing to do with Xiao Wu!"
Already feeling a little guilty, Tang San immediately replied, but realized he had overreacted as soon as the words left his mouth. He took a deep breath and gently comforted Tang San, "Don't overthink it. This is all for your own good. After all, we're brothers."
As your older brother, I can't just stand by and watch you be ridiculed for the rest of your life.
While the fat man's " Evil Fire " might have some side effects, there's no denying it's an opportunity for you; it might just solve your physical problems.
"Brother?"
Little Nine seemed to have heard a huge joke and said mockingly, "Do you even believe that yourself?"
Before Tang San could speak, Little Nine continued, "I can agree to cooperate with that fat man to transfer his source of Evil Fire, but I have one condition."
"You say!"
Ignoring Little Nine's mockery, Tang San indifferently gestured for Little Nine to speak.
"Get me an admission notice for a School of Mind in the Plant Academy. I imagine you don't want Xiao Wu to know about this. As for Uncle Hao, you'll have to figure out how to explain it to him yourself."
Little Nine knew he couldn't stay here any longer; otherwise, even if Tang San hadn't made a move, his mother, Tang Yuehua, wouldn't have let him stay any longer.
He knew all too well the tricks of that so-called aunt.
"I will send you your admission letter from the Plant Academy in three days, and also arrange a flying Soul Beast for you."
After leaving a message, Tang San pushed open the door and walked out.
As the young master of the Clear Sky Sect, this little matter is nothing more than a matter of a word.
Once Little Nine is sent away, no one will be able to interfere with his relationship with Xiao Wu.
" Sister Xiao Wu, how can I protect you!"
Alone in her dormitory, Little Nine suddenly muttered something to herself, her expression full of pain.
He has possessed the ability to sense the malice of others since childhood, and he naturally sensed the malice that his so-called aunt Tang Yuehua had shown towards Xiao Wu over the years.
Despite the other party's deep concealment, they were still exposed by his ability to perceive good and evil.
Although it's unclear what exactly that aunt is planning, it's definitely going to be detrimental to Sister Xiao Wu.
He truly loved the young lady who always took care of him, brought him delicious food, and cultivated with him. Unfortunately, his Martial Soul was useless, and his physique was also strange.
Even with relentless cultivation, one can only achieve a physical strength comparable to Soul Elder, and such combat power is worth tens of millions in the Clear Sky Sect.
This power is clearly insufficient to protect Sister Xiao Wu; perhaps...
"That fat man's Evil Fire might really be an opportunity, Sister Xiao Wu, wait for me!"
His sky-blue eyes were filled with madness and determination. Little Nine had made up his mind that even if it cost him his life, he would protect his Sister Xiao Wu.
" Flender, I need all the secret techniques the Grandmaster passed down to those children."
Having recovered from his facial injuries, Yu Xiaogang spoke grimly to his best friend, turning his attention to Jiang Zhu and her three companions.
"Are you crazy! They're students from our college! If outsiders find out, our college's reputation will be ruined!"
Flender, who had just come from Oscar's hospital room, stared wide-eyed at his best friend in front of him in disbelief.
How could the other party have such a thought?
You think I wanted this?!
Yu Xiaogang glared at Flender with annoyance, sighed, and said, "You saw Hu Liena's combat power too. With the cultivation of a level 21 Soul Grandmaster, she completely overwhelmed our Shrek Team, which we have carefully trained for many years."
If we can't uncover the secrets of the Spirit Hall as soon as possible, the upcoming Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament simply won't be able to continue. Do you really want to see these children, who have trained so hard for so many years, graduate with regrets?
Yu Xiaogang was forced into this situation. He originally thought that the Shrek Team he had carefully cultivated was the top team, with all members having the cultivation of Soul King and having consumed immortal-grade treasures comparable to Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone. They were absolutely Invincible among their peers.
Unfortunately, Hu Liena, a member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, gave them a harsh wake-up call. If they didn't figure out the opponent's secrets soon, there was really no point in participating in the upcoming Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament.
For the children, for the honor of the Shrek Academy, to prove the worth of his years of hard work, and most importantly, to make that woman regret her actions, he had no other choice but to do this.
"Okay, I'll get on it as soon as possible!"
After much hesitation, Flender finally gritted his teeth and decided to do it.
Although this went against his principles, he accepted it for the sake of Shrek and the Little Monster.
"Be discreet, don't let anyone associate it with our college. Also, remember to try your best not to harm those four children."
Yu Xiaogang gave his final words of advice. Although he had been forced into doing something against his principles, he still had a strong moral compass.
But that's all. Saving the lives of those four children was the only thing he could do. As for any harm that might be caused in the process, all he could say was sorry.
In any case, apart from Zhao Zilong, the other three children, including Jiang Zhu, were all orphans. They had been studying at the Shrek Academy for many years and often took on the task of cleaning the academy to support themselves.
This is how they repay the academy for its kindness over the years!
Ultimately, he came from a sect, so he naturally possessed a ruthless and decisive nature.
At the same time, Wang Hao, who had returned to the Spirit Hall using the Ghost Douluo Space Soul Skill, was immediately summoned by Bibi Dong.
"I've only been gone for five days, how did you become like this?"
Looking at Bibi Dong, who had messy hair, no makeup, and wore simple pajamas, Wang Hao was speechless.
This woman has really been spoiled rotten by him. She can't even dress herself properly when she's away from him. He's really treating her like a pig!
"He can't live without you!"
With a leap, she clung to her lover like a koala, displaying a charmingly innocent and girlish demeanor, completely devoid of the noble and aloof goddess aura she projected to outsiders.
I just can't do anything with you!
Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Hao carried the humanoid koala in his arms and walked towards the spacious bathroom on the side of Bibi Dong's boudoir.
Although it's called a bathroom, the space is actually incredibly large. In the center is a natural hot spring pool, which is hundreds of feet in size and could be considered a small lake.
He carried Bibi Dong into the hot spring and carefully washed her hair and rubbed her back.
Don't get me wrong, this is just a perfectly innocent shampoo and back scrub, not something purely evil.
This also reflects the progress in his relationship with Bibi Dong over the years. It can be said that, aside from that kind of thing, he understands Bibi Dong's body better than she does herself.
He treated it like he was scalding and cleaning piglets waiting to be slaughtered.
After a thorough cleaning, he carried Bibi Dong back to her room, first giving her a full-on foot massage, and then finishing by applying lipstick and eyebrow dye.
" Xiao Ganggang, I heard you know Tang Hao's wife?"
While Wang Hao was drawing his eyebrows, Bibi Dong casually asked a question.
"I do know that spendthrift woman, so what?"
Wang Hao casually replied, not hiding the fact that he knew Ah Yin, that spendthrift woman, through his pseudonym.
He had specifically investigated and found that Yu Xiaogang had indeed met Tang Hao, Ah Yin, and others who were venturing into the Soul Master World back then, so it wasn't wrong for him to say this under the guise of Yu Xiaogang.
"Nothing, just asking casually."
Upon hearing her beloved husband's assessment of her as a spendthrift woman, Bibi Dong's initial jealousy vanished instantly; she had clearly overthought things.
"You hit yourself too hard when you left. Even if it was for show, there was no need to be so cruel! I feel so sorry for you!"
Gently stroking her lover's cheek, she felt a pang of heartache even though it was just a special Soul Tool puppet remotely controlled by him.
She had heard Ghost Douluo's report that half of her lover's teeth had been knocked out, and his face was swollen like a steamed bun.
Although she understood that her lover was doing this to distance himself from the Grandmaster's identity as much as possible and avoid being suspected.
But this is going too far!
"I couldn't help myself and hit him a little too hard! And I'll say it again, I'm not Yu Xiaogang."
He shrugged indifferently. If Yu Xiaogang weren't still of any use to him, given his temperament, he would have slapped this scumbag to death long ago.
I don't know what's so great about that guy that makes Bibi Dong so obsessed with him.
"Okay!"
Bibi Dong didn't pay attention to the second half of her lover's sentence. In her view, this refusal to acknowledge his identity clearly showed that her lover still couldn't let go of what happened back then.
"By the way, I've been teaching a few juniors at the Shrek Academy. They might be targeted by some people because of me. Could you arrange for someone to keep an eye on them? Just make sure they stay alive; it'll be a good experience for them."
Thinking of those young people from Jiang Zhu, Wang Hao was well aware of his own influence and the ruthless and despicable nature of aristocratic families, sects, and imperial nobles.
Furthermore, Jiang Zhu and her companions have no powerful backgrounds, which makes them seem like they are guilty of possessing a valuable treasure. If Bibi Dong doesn't send someone to keep an eye on them, something bad is bound to happen.
However, this can also be considered a kind of experience. Once they get through this, Jiang Zhu and the others will definitely make great progress, both mentally and physically.
"I've already instructed Cardinal Zhao Tiancheng, who's stationed there, to send men to keep an eye on things. They won't make a move unless their lives are in danger."
Over the years, Bibi Dong has grown considerably, possessing exceptional intelligence and skill. Upon receiving Ghost Douluo's report, she immediately issued orders to Cardinal Zhao Tiancheng, the Cardinal of the Spirit Hall, through the Spirit Hall's internal communication network.
It just so happens that Zhao Tiancheng's only daughter was also assigned to Jiang Zhu's group, which seems much more reasonable.
Unfortunately Bibi Dong and Wang Hao did not expect Yu Xiaogang to be so ruthless and decisive. Before Zhao Tiancheng could make any arrangements, he attacked Jiang Zhu and the other three.
