"Alright, alright, wait for me." Poor Zhao Wuji had just come in when he hurriedly ran out of the office to find someone.
"Oh, Uncle, I wonder what Teacher will think when he wakes up and finds out he has no tongue. This is too cruel for him." Tang San said to Tang Xiao, looking at Yu Xiaogang and Flander who were motionless on the sofa.
"This is the law of the jungle in the big boss world. Little San, don't challenge others lightly when you're unsure of their strength. Every strong person has their own pride. However, Yu Xiaogang challenged the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall this time because of your twin martial souls," Tang Xiao said helplessly.
"It might be for my sake, or it might be for his own reputation," Tang San thought to himself as he looked at Yu Xiaogang.
"Teacher Erlong, hang in there a little longer. Teacher Zhao has already gone to call a healing-type Soul Master." Tang San turned to look at Liu Erlong, who was sitting on the sofa leaning back, looking drowsy, and said with concern.
"I'm fine, but Xiao Gang and Boss Fu are the ones who are most seriously injured." Liu Erlong was somewhat weak, her face pale, and she felt a heavy weight in her eyes, because the three of them had suffered not only internal injuries but also mental ones, and their spirits were exhausted and they were dizzy.
The office fell silent. After about ten minutes, Zhao Wuji hurriedly pulled someone into the office, and Tang San quickly made way for him.
"Quickly, Teacher Ouyang," Tang San said hastily.
"Alright, I'll begin treating the three of them right away." The healer didn't delay and immediately released his martial soul, beginning to unleash his soul skill, which covered the three of them.
With the persistent treatment of the support-type Soul Master, Yu Xiaogang and the other two finally stabilized their breathing.
"Alright, the treatments have been completed. As for the other injuries, they'll wake up in a day when they're feeling better. They'll have to take care of their own wounds. I'm going back to recover." The support-type Soul Master said wearily.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Teacher Ouyang." Tang San expressed his gratitude.
Liu Erlong stood up and returned to her residence, for mental exhaustion is not so easy to treat.
After about a day, Liu Erlong felt that her mental state had almost recovered and remembered the image-recording soul tool left by Duan Yufan.
Then I turned on the recording function. At first, nothing seemed wrong, until...
"Master, I'm curious about your Iron Triangle. You and one of the Killing Horns had already held a wedding, so why did you abandon her on your wedding night?"
Duan Yufan's question made Liu Erlong's face darken, as if he had returned to that day and that night. Before long, Liu Erlong heard Yu Xiaogang's answer.
"Haha! It's all because I've had my fill of playing around. Actually, after seeing her martial spirit, I guessed that she might be a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. Not long after, I learned from her description who her father was. It turns out he was my second uncle."
"I never expected that just by casually revealing a little bit of theoretical knowledge, I could make her fall in love with me, just like another silly woman. Later, before the wedding, I felt that I should stop, and I had had enough fun. After all, I am a renowned master in the world of soul masters, so I went to my second uncle. On the wedding night, I pretended to be a family member and ran away, looking like I was in a state of collapse and unable to accept it."
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's reply, Liu Erlong collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, and began to cry silently.
"That's impossible, impossible, Xiaogang isn't that kind of person."
After a while, Liu Erlong spoke with some emotion, but when he recalled that day, a scene he would never forget, he felt a mixture of belief and doubt.
Why did her father, who had never cared about this illegitimate daughter, suddenly show up on the day of her wedding? And Yu Xiaogang did not inform the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family because he was ridiculed by his family.
There was no one notified except Flanders, who officiated at the wedding; there was no reason for him to know.
Liu Erlong quickly rallied and stood up, leaving her room and going to Yu Xiaogang's room, where Yu Xiaogang was still unconscious. Flander had also woken up and was in the room with Tang San.
"Erlong, you're awake. How are your injuries?" Flander asked with concern as he looked at Liu Erlong who had just entered the room.
Liu Erlong ignored Flander and walked with a stern face to the bedside where Yu Xiaogang was lying. Looking at the still unconscious Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong grabbed Yu Xiaogang's collar and squeezed him.
"Yu Xiaogang, wake up and explain yourself!" Liu Erlong shook Yu Xiaogang and shouted.
"Two dragons, two dragons."
"What's wrong? Xiao Gang hasn't woken up yet. Calm down." Seeing that Liu Erlong seemed to have gone into a frenzy, Flander immediately stepped forward and pulled her away. Tang San naturally helped to pull her away as well.
Liu Erlong shoved Flander and Tang San aside and continued shaking Yu Xiaogang without asking any questions.
Sure enough, Liu Erlong shook Yu Xiaogang awake from his unconscious state.
"Erlong, Xiaogang is awake, stop shaking him." Flander noticed Yu Xiaogang slowly opening his eyes and quickly reminded Liu Erlong.
"You're awake, that's perfect. Yu Xiaogang, tell me clearly, what you said to the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall a few years ago, was it true or not?" Liu Erlong hurriedly questioned Yu Xiaogang loudly.
Yu Xiaogang, still groggy from just waking up, was met with Liu Erlong's loud questioning. He didn't react for a moment and wanted to ask what was wrong, but he forgot he had no tongue. Liu Erlong forgot too.
"Oh, woo, chirp." Yu Xiaogang's voice changed when he tried to speak; he could only make whimpering sounds.
Then Yu Xiaogang felt something was missing, so he quickly opened his mouth and put his fingers in, only to find that his tongue was gone. Shocked, Yu Xiaogang fainted again in a fit of emotional distress.
Chapter 160 Yu Xiaogang's Collapse
Looking at Yu Xiaogang who had spoken, Liu Erlong suddenly remembered the scene of having his tongue cut out.
Seeing that he received no answer, Liu Erlong seemed to be possessed and quickly ran out of the room, leaving Tiandou City not long after.
"Erlong, Erlong..."
"Dean, Teacher Erlong probably has something on her mind. Let her calm down," Tang San said, quickly stopping Flander when he saw him trying to catch up with Liu Erlong.
"Oh dear! Why did Erlong suddenly change her personality like this? Even I was startled by her appearance." Flander sighed inexplicably.
"Dean, what is this?" Tang San saw the recording sound soul tool that Liu Erlong had left behind in his haste while he was covering Yu Xiaogang with a blanket.
"Let me see. This is a recording device. Oh, right, the Spirit Hall's Holy Son gave it to Erlong a day ago. Could there be something here that caused Liu Erlong's emotional change?" Flander took the recording device from Tang San and confirmed it before speaking.
"A recording device? Dean, what's that?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
"This is a recording device, a soul tool that can record scenes and sounds. Some uncommon soul tools are generally used in the Great Soul Arena, since this thing can only record once," Flander explained to Tang San when he asked.
"Then, Dean, let's open it and take a look at the contents. Why did Teacher Erlong become like this?" Tang San said to Flander after hearing this.
"Alright! Although something's not quite right, this is the only way, otherwise we don't know what might have happened."
Then Flander replayed the video content.
The recording device doesn't contain much information; it only covers the period from when Duan Yufan led Yu Xiaogang into the Papal Palace until Yu Xiaogang left.
However, when Duan Yufan mentioned Blue Silver Grass, it was as if he had misheard, and he listened to it again on repeat.
"Blue Silver Grass, Blue Silver King, does Blue Silver Grass even have an emperor? Then can my Blue Silver Grass also evolve into Blue Silver King, or does my Blue Silver Grass itself have the bloodline of Blue Silver King, but it's just not time to evolve yet?"
Tang San felt increasingly uneasy. He had cultivated for so many years and had seen others awaken the Blue Silver Grass, but no one had ever been able to cultivate soul power with it like him.
Tang San thought about it more and more and felt that this idea was quite likely.
The recording was still playing, and soon it was Duan Yufan asking about Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.
Flander looked at the unconscious Yu Xiaogang with some disappointment after reading it. He never expected Yu Xiaogang to say such a thing. No wonder Liu Erlong was so agitated.
"Xiao San, do you think what Xiao Gang said is true?" Flander asked Tang San with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
"Dean, don't be fooled by this content. I think the teacher said it to him on purpose, only thinking that he probably didn't expect him to write it down. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the teacher to tell his scandal to someone he had just met."
Upon hearing Flander's question, Tang San pondered for a moment and then analyzed the situation.
“That’s right. Xiao Gang has absolutely no reason to say these things to a complete stranger. There must be something fishy going on. We’ll ask him when he wakes up. I don’t believe Xiao Gang would be that kind of person,” Flander said.
Flander and Tang San took care of Yu Xiaogang in the room for about an hour before he slowly woke up again.
"Dean, the teacher has woken up," Tang San said to Flander, who was dozing off beside him.
Seeing this, Flander quickly picked up a glass of water that had been prepared on the table and handed it to Yu Xiaogang to drink.
"Xiao Gang, I'll show you something." After Yu Xiaogang finished drinking the water, he immediately released the contents of the recording device to show Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang felt increasingly uncomfortable as he read on, until he saw his deepest reply to Duan Yufan. He grabbed the recording device and smashed it against the wall. Still feeling unsatisfied, he jumped out of bed and stomped on the recording device on the floor.
"Xiao Gang, are all the things mentioned in these contents true?" Flander asked Yu Xiao Gang with a serious expression, looking at the very unusual Yu Xiao Gang.
"Ugh, ah..." Yu Xiaogang tried to explain, but all he could make were ugh sounds. He started gesturing wildly and became flustered.
Immediately remembering something, Yu Xiaogang rushed out of the room. Flander and Tang San saw Yu Xiaogang, who was in a very agitated state, run out of the room and immediately chased after him.
They tracked him all the way to the place where he fought Duan Yufan, and saw Yu Xiaogang kneeling on the ground, carefully searching for something.
"Xiao Gang!"
"teacher!"
When Flander and Tang San saw Yu Xiaogang's flustered appearance, they wondered what he was looking for.
Yu Xiaogang ignored the two and hurriedly searched through the grass. Soon he came to a large patch of grass where blood had dried and turned black on the blades, and began to search carefully.
Finally, he found what he was looking for in the field: a small, brownish-black object. This was Yu Xiaogang's tongue, but after being exposed to the sun for more than a day, all the moisture had dried out, and it was as hard as a stone.
"Ah...ah..." Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaogang collapsed and let out a long howl, his voice filled with despair and intense resentment.
Seeing this, Flander squatted down next to Yu Xiaogang and patted him on the shoulder without saying a word.
. . . . . .
A figure was moving rapidly along a road, catching up with the person he was chasing in a canyon that was a necessary passage to Wuhun City.
This is Liu Erlong, who is rapidly advancing from Shrek Academy in pursuit of Duan Yufan.
"Hmm! Why did Liu Erlong chase after us, and why is she alone?" Duan Yufan stopped after sensing Liu Erlong, puzzled.
"Stop! Tell me, tell me if what you showed me is real or not." Liu Erlong, her face flushed and panting, blocked Duan Yufan and Ghost Leopard Douluo's path.
"Whether it's true or not, don't you already have the answer in your heart?" Duan Yufan said calmly.
Liu Erlong was so tired that she bent over and supported her legs, not even noticing the cleavage that was showing on her chest.
"How can you prove that what he said is true? What if he said it to you on purpose?" Liu Erlong still questioned.
"You traveled all this way without stopping just to find out about this? Do you think it was necessary for Yu Xiaogang to say this to me when we first met?"
"And when I ask him questions, he can't hide his deepest evil thoughts in front of my Martial Soul." Duan Yufan calmly summoned the Savior Martial Soul, its black aura shimmering with a ghostly light.
Liu Erlong felt her negative emotions rising rapidly, threatening to erupt at any moment.
"I've already shown you mercy. If I used my second martial soul, you wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move." Duan Yufan gripped the Savior's Scythe, swung it forcefully, leaving a mark more than a meter deep on the cliff face of the canyon, and then put it away.
Duan Yufan then ignored the stunned Liu Erlong and continued his journey towards Wuhun City, which was another half-day's journey away.
Liu Erlong remained in a daze on the road for a long time, tears silently rolling down her face. She then stubbornly wiped away her tears and walked towards the direction of Wuhun City.
Chapter 161 The First Round of the Finals Ends
The canyon is very close to Wuhun City. After walking a few kilometers through the canyon and along a short distance, you will soon reach a relatively flat area where you can see the magnificent Wuhun City.
"Your Highness, that woman is following us. Should we try to stop her?" Ghost Leopard Douluo reminded him as they walked.
"Don't worry about her, as long as she doesn't bother us. Maybe she knows we're almost at Wuhun City and doesn't want to go back, so she plans to stay there and wait for the advanced soul master academy team to arrive for the competition," Duan Yufan said calmly, also noticing Liu Erlong following about fifty meters away.
"Okay." Upon hearing Duan Yufan's words, Ghost Leopard Douluo continued on his way without saying a word.
