Movements on All Sides
On the island, the blazing sun hangs high in the sky.
A thick rope, woven from rattan and as thick as a wrist, was tied firmly at one end to the bow of the boat, while the other end was tied around Luo Sanpao's waist.
Bibi Dong, Brother Jie, and six others stood on the wooden boat.
Luo Sanpao struggled to turn his pig head around, glanced at the heavy wooden boat behind him, and then at the calm-faced people on the boat. Two lines of tears of despair streamed down his round pig eyes, and he made a weak, mournful murmur.
Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare to be used so recklessly, let alone a pig.
Ignoring his own Martial Soul's aggrieved protest, Yu Xiaogang flipped over and straddled the pig's back, gripping the two pig ears with both hands as a steering wheel.
As the First Soul Ring lit up, a muffled boom resounded.
The scorching heatwave lifted Yu Xiaogang, along with the pig, off the ground, pulling the wooden boat behind them into the air.
After flying at high altitude for only a short while, due to the excessive load, Yu Xiaogang had to increase his Soul Power output. His Soul Power was rapidly depleted, and the air wave emitted by Luo Sanpao visibly weakened. The whole pig shook violently in mid-air and fell.
"No, the Sanpao is about to shut down; the plane is going to crash."
Yu Xiaogang inwardly groaned; the weight of eight living people plus a heavy wooden boat was astonishing.
Barely managing to fly off the sea surface was already his limit. To avoid the Sea Soul Beast in the ocean, he had to increase his power to fly even higher, causing his Soul Power consumption to increase exponentially.
Don't panic, a wise friend is here to help you.
Brother Jie on the wooden boat roared and climbed up the rope with both hands, flipping onto Luo Sanpao's pig back.
"Sit tight, Xiao Gang. The doors of this 'theory train' are welded shut; no one is getting off halfway today."
Amidst the howling winds high in the sky, Brother Jie pulled out his treasured handwritten copy and, with the air of an unparalleled theoretical Grandwet, began to whisper rapidly at an astonishing frequency:
"Keep a calm mindset. Next, I will use the fastest pace, the most heartfelt voice, and the most immersive delivery to tell you what the true theoretical path is."
"Oh ho ho... Oh ho ho--"
Yu Xiaogang felt the Soul Power rising within her body and let out a joyful shout.
After Brother Jie poured out all his knowledge, Brother Wei took over climbing up, followed by Brother Jiao and Brother Billy. Even Flender had to grit his teeth and contribute his meager strength so that everyone could escape and return to the mainland as soon as possible.
Only when everyone's Soul Power was completely exhausted did Luo Sanpao finally collapse onto the sea. The group closed their eyes and meditated on the wooden boat to recover their Soul Power.
On the wooden boat, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong looked at the several panting men, both hesitant to speak.
If Yu Xiaogang were to rely solely on herself, her Soul Power would be exhausted in just a few minutes of flying, which would be no different from rowing a boat.
"He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to serve it," and in order to return to the mainland, they ultimately had no choice but to turn their heads away and sigh helplessly.
On the other side of the vast ocean, the Douluo Continent is also not at peace.
The devastating news of the failed expedition to Sea God Island, along with the return of the defeated allied forces, spread like wildfire.
Such a devastating loss could not possibly be concealed from public opinion.
In order to save face and reassure the public, the major powers issued a unified statement claiming that their fleets had unfortunately been attacked by several ferocious and bloodthirsty Hundred-Thousand-Year Sea Soul Beast at sea, which led to their crushing defeat.
However, just as Yu Xiaogang had previously thought, during the battle on Sea God Island, many Soul Master witnessed the flying of the Imperial Pig.
A human figure sat on the pig's back, with a long string of people hanging below, creating a shocking and bizarre sight that shattered their worldview.
Low-level Soul Master have limited eyesight and may not be able to clearly see who is in the person high in the sky.
However, high-level Soul Master have excellent eyesight. As long as Yu Xiaogang dares to show himself and release Luo Sanpao, he can recognize his identity at a glance.
Ge Long reported the battle situation to Xue Ye, explaining the conflicting accounts of Qian Xunji and Yu Yuanzhen, and placing all the blame on the culprit.
Upon learning of the defeat, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Emperor, like Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Emperor, was extremely furious.
If it weren't for Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong's actions on Sea God Island, the taxi drivers of the two great empires wouldn't have suffered such a complete loss.
At this point, both emperors secretly issued orders.
Bibi Dong for now, she is, after all, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and the Empire cannot easily provoke her.
But Yu Xiaogang was nothing more than a disgrace to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who had been expelled from his sect. Both empires secretly issued orders that if this person dared to show his face, they would make him know what a mastermind was.
Inside the Clear Sky Sect, after returning to the sect, Tang Chen hastily explained some sect affairs, then left the sect with only the question, "Where did Dad go?" before turning away.
Bo Saixi's strength was undeniable, and he dared not attempt to force his way into Sea God Island again; the lack of strength was like a thorn deeply embedded in his heart.
The proud and aloof Tang Chen would never allow himself to be outdone by the goddess of his dreams.
Since the opportunity on Sea God Island is not meant for him, he will traverse every inch of the continent to find his own path to Tang Chen at level 100.
Just imagining himself becoming a god and ruling over the Sea God Island in the future, Tang Chen grinned foolishly, drool dripping down his stubble.
"Xi Xi... hehe, my Xi Xi, hehehe..."
"She might slap me on the surface, but it's to keep me from getting arrogant. A beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love; in other words, she secretly loves me. The God of Pure Love never gives up, wait for my return as a level 100 god..."
Inside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the brothers Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian spent countless hours trying to appease the anger of the clan elders.
After all, the family disciples suffered heavy casualties on this expedition, especially during the retreat, when they were repeatedly intercepted and pursued by Sea Soul Beast.
Furthermore, even if Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong caused the final nuclear explosion to save people, the fact that it ultimately killed countless people cannot be denied.
The enormous disaster they caused needs to be quelled. Even though one of them has long been expelled from the family and the other has never rejoined the clan, the blood of the Yu family still flows in their veins.
The two brothers had no choice but to secretly send men out to sea to search for the two menacing men and see if they were still alive, lest they suddenly fall asleep while walking at night, even if they did return alive.
As for Qian Xunji, he had already clearly captured the approximate location where the group was blown away when he was fishing high in the sky during the nuclear explosion on Sea God Island.
He was also very curious as to why these people couldn't be killed by the explosions. Could it be that the Asura God was already plotting something?
But no matter what moves the Asura God of the Divine Realm makes, having been given a second chance at life, he will never allow himself to be manipulated.
Qian Xunji sneered.
"This is the first Continental Theory Competition that I've been preparing for a long time. Without Yu Xiaogang, how can this carefully arranged show continue?"
With this thought in mind, Qian Xunji immediately gave an order. He provided the approximate location and commanded his men to search in that direction, making sure to bring Yu Xiaogang and the others back before the competition began.
Time flies, like a fleeting moment.
Despite numerous searches by the two great empires, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Spirit Hall's search team, they were unable to find even a trace of Yu Xiaogang and his group.
The reason is simple--
Yu Xiaogang and her group completely lost their way in the vast ocean.
With no guide and no nautical chart, Yu Xiaogang relied entirely on herself to control the pigs and fly.
The group drifted aimlessly, making brief stops on the deserted islands to replenish their resources before taking off again.
Fortunately, over such a long period of time, the restrictions on the Soul Power within everyone's bodies were gradually worn away, giving them the ability to fight even against Sea Soul Beast with low cultivation levels.
Until a ship came into Yu Xiaogang, this was the first time they had seen living people on the sea, instead of deadly Sea Soul Beast.
"Someone's there!"
Yu Xiaogang shouted excitedly and steered Luo Sanpao toward the ship.
