Reunion

The cool sea breeze dispelled the chill of the long night, and a red sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon.

After a night of sea breeze tormenting her, the tearing pain in Yu Xiaogang's anus finally began to subside.

He woke up in the morning sun, his chapped lips twitching slightly. Just as he was about to turn over and get up, a strange noise suddenly came from his stomach.

Glug glug...

The emptiness of hunger made Yu Xiaogang's vision go black. He activated his Soul Power and summoned Luo Sanpao back, who had been dissipated by the beating the night before.

After a night's rest, Luo Sanpao regained some strength. Although he still looked listless, under Yu Xiaogang's constant urging and orders, he reluctantly went into the jungle and found a few wild fruits to barely fill his stomach.

With a little food in her belly, Yu Xiaogang, despite her aching body, began to ponder the situation on the island.

Having learned his lesson from yesterday, he knew in his heart that he needed his companions—no, it was his companions who needed him.

The most urgent task is to find out if any of our companions are scattered across the island.

Yu Xiaogang first searched along the outer beach, but the island was quite vast, and her injuries had not yet healed. Before she had gone very far, she was panting heavily and her legs were trembling, so she had to give up in frustration.

Unable to proceed along the outer perimeter, he plunged into the dense jungle.

Ancient trees towered in the forest, and vines intertwined, yet not a trace of human habitation could be found.

Searching on foot was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Yu Xiaogang stopped and pondered for a long time, turning his short hair.

His gaze inadvertently fell on Luo Sanpao beside him, and a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

Although Luo Sanpao is currently quite weak and unable to engage in high-intensity combat, he is still more than capable of serving as a mount for the flying boar.

Searching from the air is many times faster than walking.

With this in mind, Yu Xiaogang instructed Luo Sanpao to keep watch on their surroundings, while she herself quickly sat cross-legged and entered meditation.

As her Soul Power surged and flowed within her body, Yu Xiaogang suddenly opened her eyes, her face filled with barely suppressed smugness.

He rolled over and straddled Luo Sanpao's back, asking:

"Friday Pao, are you ready?"

Ignoring Luo Sanpao's unwilling expression, Yu Xiaogang pulled up its pig ears, turned its head towards the sky, pointed its vent at the ground, and activated its internal Soul Power.

"His farts are like thunder, a continuous barrage of Luo Sanpao."

laugh--

As scorching air blasted from the exhaust vent, Luo Sanpao's bulky body immediately flew off the ground.

Using the recoil force of the Soul Skill's energy wave, the entire fat pig, like a hovercraft floating off the ground, carried Yu Xiaogang straight into the air.

Yu Xiaogang controlled Luo Sanpao to quickly patrol the outer perimeter of the island, but did not find a single person.

Due to the continuous output of his Soul Skill, his Soul Power of only level 29 was quickly depleted, forcing him to make an emergency landing on the beach. After meditating to recover his Soul Power, he was able to ride the pig and fly again.

Ascending to a high altitude and looking down, the jungle above was filled with dense, layered canopies, completely obscuring his view. Left with no other choice, he had to lower his altitude and risk venturing into the forest to fly at low altitude.

As it skimmed low into the dense forest, the exhaust pipes behind Luo Sanpao roared repeatedly, sending sparks and stench flying all the way, with gusts of air constantly churning up and down.

Using this inexhaustible propulsion, Yu Xiaogang gripped the pig's ears with both hands as a rudder, squeezed the pig's body between her knees, and weaved left and right among the branches and bushes. She even proudly played with the pig-flying technique of diving and circling.

After all that, his Soul Power was depleted again, and his companions were nowhere to be seen.

If he cannot find Bibi Dong and the others, being left alone on this nameless deserted island is tantamount to waiting for his death.

With his level 29 Soul Power, without a nautical chart and unable to distinguish east from west, it was impossible for him to cross the vast ocean and reach another land.

To escape alive, his only chance of survival is to rejoin the main force as soon as possible; otherwise, he will be trapped alone on the island, waiting for someone to come to his rescue.

Yu Xiaogang secretly prayed that she would run into her companions soon, but the image of Brother Jie popped into her mind, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The mere thought of the four muscular Tai Tan in her nightmare sent chills down her spine, and she wished her four close friends had been sunk into the deep sea to be eaten by sharks.

But this thought lasted only a few breaths before it was shattered.

If the four of them truly perished at sea, those Image Recording Stone documenting their research on Martial Soul Theory might very well be made public because of their prolonged absence.

And then there's his good brother Flender, who in this life is also studying theories with him—just thinking about it makes him grit his teeth.

What made Yu Xiaogang even more embarrassed was the embarrassing situation of dying while flying with the pig on Sea God Island.

He flew so joyfully, so dazzlingly; heaven knows how many Soul Master witnessed that scene.

Now that things have come to this, Yu Xiaogang could only offer herself a silent consolation: aside from Titled Douluo like Qian Xunji, ordinary people or low-level Soul Master might not be able to see it clearly.

As for Sea Soul Master, even if they were seen, it wouldn't be a big deal. When the rebellious disciple Tang San becomes the Sea God in the future, which Sea Soul Master would dare to disrespect his Teacher of Gods?

The priority right now is to find his teammates. They only have so many people, and every extra person adds to their strength. If they encounter Sea Soul Beast, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong alone won't be able to protect him.

Yu Xiaogang gritted her teeth and secretly made up her mind.

'As long as I can gather them all, it's better than waiting to die alone in this godforsaken place. Once I get back to the mainland, participate in the theory competition, and get the Grandwet, I'll immediately run away, secretly finding incriminating evidence against them to prevent them from turning on me later.'

Having made up her mind, Yu Xiaogang no longer hesitated. After meditating, she rode the flying pig again, increasing her Soul Power output to accelerate her cruise through the jungle.

The air was swirling through the dense forest, and Luo Sanpao, flying low, kicked wildly with his hooves.

Just as they passed through a large tree, a venomous snake hidden in the trunk was startled by the roaring sound. Its slender body shot out, its fangs bared, and it bit down on Yu Xiaogang's vital spot.

"Awoo--Oh oh oh oh!"

Unfortunately, the blow struck right between his legs. Yu Xiaogang clutched his groin and screamed in agony on the pig's back.

Looking down, he saw that what was hanging in his vital spot was a green snake with only a little over ten years of cultivation.

Yu Xiaogang was terrified. She threw it off and used her Soul Skill to kill the low-level Soul Beast in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, the snake venom took effect rapidly, causing the wound to swell and turn red at a visible speed. A numbing sensation shot straight to her brain, and Yu Xiaogang's eyes rolled back. With a thud, she fell off the pig's back, unconscious.

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of Bibi Dong and Brother Jie's group, who were searching. They had already successfully reunited on the beach, but could not find any trace of Yu Xiaogang.

During the search, they caught a familiar scent and followed the smell of farts until they heard the sounds of fighting coming from this direction.

When everyone saw Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground with her swollen wound, the scene became tense.
