Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 449, Section 468: Level Dropping

"Leakage?" Upon hearing Gu Rong's words, Yu Xiaogang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly sat down cross-legged and circulated his soul power to check his body.

After a long while, Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes, a constipated expression on his short-haired face.

Yes, his soul power was gradually draining away, but the rate of loss was so minute that only a powerful Title Douluo like Gu Rong could notice it.

Although Yu Xiaogang can maintain his level as one of the top 28 strong for several more years at the current rate of loss, a large lake will eventually be lost, even if it is just a drop of water flowing away.

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly circulated his meridians to cultivate his soul power. However, he was unable to advance in his cultivation because level 28 was the level that his previous martial soul, Luo Sanpao, had brought him to. As Gu Rong had said before, the domestic pig martial soul was a useless martial soul. No matter how many levels Yu Xiaogang dropped, his current level was the upper limit that he could not break through.

He can only maintain his current level and slow down the rate of decline, but he cannot return to the level 29 he has already lost.

Yu Xiaogang murmured in despair:
"My soul power, my level, don't leave me, don't leave me."

Gu Rong suppressed a laugh and comforted him, "Alliance Leader Xiao Gang, judging from the speed at which your soul power is leaking, it will take you at least 10 years to fall back to level 27, so you don't really need to worry about it too much."

In Gu Rong's view, even a Soul Master of Yu Xiaogang's level doesn't have a long lifespan. They'll remain a Great Soul Master until they die, so there's not much difference.

“How can we not care?” Yu Xiaogang retorted.

Fate was playing a cruel joke on him. He awakened a useless martial spirit, refused to give up on himself, and spent two hundred times more effort than ordinary people every day. He finally cultivated to the level 29 realm, but then he fell back down. Yu Xiaogang's sensitive heart could hardly accept it.

suddenly--

Yu Xiaogang felt a sudden bulge in his abdomen, and a constipated expression appeared on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Rong asked curiously.

Yu Xiaogang didn't answer, but instead let out a foul-smelling fart, revealing a blissful expression on his short, flat-topped hair.

It feels so good after farting.

Gu Rong quickly covered his nose; there was no way around it, Yu Xiaogang's fart was just too disgusting.

But when Gu Rong looked at Yu Xiaogang again, his expression changed.

"Alliance Leader Xiao Gang, you..."

"What's wrong with me?" Yu Xiaogang asked, coming back to his senses.

"No, what's your level?"

"My level?" Yu Xiaogang quickly sensed his body, and his expression immediately turned ugly.

Previously, he was at the peak of level 28, but after uttering that fart, his level dropped to the late level 28.

If it were true that it would have taken 10 years for Yu Xiaogang's cultivation level to drop from 28 to 27 at the previous rate of decline, this fart reduced that time to 9 years.

Gangzi lived in Bengbu:

"This is...no, this is my level! Come back, come back to me—"

In his desperation, he used all three orifices—nose and mouth—to continuously inhale air, trying to reclaim the soul power he had just released. Gu Rong quickly stepped aside, unable to bear watching.

Suddenly he noticed the soul-guided syringe that Yu Xiaogang had thrown on the ground, so Gu Rong walked over, picked it up, and looked at it.

Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, nearly inhaled the air until it was completely odorless, then checked his physical condition and almost collapsed.

The lost realm of soul power did not return because of his performance art; what is lost is lost.

"No, my level." Poor Gangzi completely broke down.

Gu Rong, standing to the side, held the soul-guided syringe in his hand, looked at Yu Xiaogang, and shook his head regretfully.

After waiting for Yu Xiaogang to calm down, Gu Rong approached him and asked, "Alliance Leader Xiaogang, did you use this yesterday?"

Yu Xiaogang's desperate eyes flickered. When he saw the soul-guiding injection in Gu Rong's hand, Yu Xiaogang collapsed. His despair seemed to find an outlet, and he said frantically, "Yes, that's right, I used this yesterday! It must be this that caused my soul power level to drop! Damn Xinghuo Academy, you set up such a vicious trap for me! You bastard, Xinghuo Academy, I, Yu Xiaogang, swear I will never forgive you!"

At this point, Yu Xiaogang's expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Rong asked, puzzled.

"It, it, it's here again," Yu Xiaogang stammered, his face contorted with constipation as he slicked back his short hair.

Gu Rong realized something, looked down, and saw that Yu Xiaogang's belly had swelled up again. His expression changed, and he quickly kicked back and picked up a handkerchief to cover his nose.

"No, no, don't talk nonsense, I don't want to lose a level," Yu Xiaogang said in despair.

However, the more he held it in, the more uncomfortable he felt; the gas inside him was determined to break free of its shackles and rush towards the world of freedom.

In the end, Yu Xiaogang couldn't hold back any longer, and with a bang, a foul stench was released.

Xiao Gang's skill level: Late stage of level 28 - Mid stage of level 28

"No, no, my level, don't leave me!" Yu Xiaogang desperately reached out, grabbing frantically, as if trying to hold onto the soul power that was drifting away from him.

Yu Xiaogang knelt down in despair until the stench in the air dissipated.

Eternal Temple
"What did you put in that Soul Guiding Factor injection? It's so loud!" Tianmeng asked suspiciously.

Huo Yuhao said, "Nothing was added. We just made a hole in Yu Xiaogang's container. This is a side effect of the Martial Soul Factor Injection on a specific person."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao conjured up a measuring cup and said, "When a Soul Master cultivates Soul Power, their body is like a container. The higher the level, the larger the container's volume. No matter how much Soul Power a Soul Master consumes, it won't affect the volume of their Soul Power. However, if they remove their Soul Bones or their Soul Rings are completely shattered, they will drop in level because the volume is damaged."

The measuring cup in Huo Yuhao's hand grew larger or smaller, representing the condition of different levels of Soul Masters.

Huo Yuhao said, "So, this is Yu Xiaogang's current situation."

A tiny crack appeared in the measuring cup, and water slowly leaked out. The more water leaked out, the smaller the measuring cup became.

"Every time he drops a realm, that lost realm becomes an insurmountable chasm he can never return to. The more he drops in level, the more he will lose a spirit ring when he falls below the Great Soul Master realm. When he falls below the Soul Master realm, he will no longer be a Soul Master. When he completely loses his last bit of soul power, his martial soul will also leave him, making him a complete and utter piece of trash!"
