Raising his hand, Xiao Yan pinched Ning Rongrong's tender face and chuckled lightly. "Put it away. I've already paid for this Soul Guidance Device."
"I know." Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and returned the gold card into the Soul Guidance Device.
Watching the two of them so affectionate, Oscar, who had just recovered from the gust, turned ashen.
Rongrong… my Rongrong…
It seemed she had already become Xiao Yan's… shape.
Yu Xiaogang looked confused. "How come I don't know about this?"
He hadn't even received a single copper Soul Coin from Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan said, "Those two hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma you burned were quite valuable—at least tens of thousands of gold Soul Coins. Buying a Soul Guidance Device with that is more than enough."
The reminder jogged Yu Xiaogang's memory; indeed, he had burned two unusual plants.
But relying on external resources to boost oneself is chronic suicide. He had done it entirely to save Xiao Yan.
Flandre's voice trembled slightly. "Xiaogang, is everything Xiao Yan said true?"
Yu Xiaogang snorted disdainfully. "What nonsense Blood Ganoderma? Using external objects to advance, you'll probably be stuck at the Grand Soul Master level for life! So stubborn and obstinate, you don't deserve to be my disciple. Unless you kneel and beg me for seven days and nights!"
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji, who had just set down Ma Hongjun and Oscar, rubbed his arm. Are we really facing a Grand Soul Master?
Ever since Xiao Yan had injured him in the Star Dou Great Forest, his arm hadn't been as sharp or strong.
A 180-degree break… it must have been a fundamental injury.
Flandre's chest tightened in pain, and after pounding it several times, he said slowly, "Xiaogang, you're out of your mind! Blood Ganoderma is a precious medicine for healing and stopping bleeding. Ordinary Blood Ganoderma is worth thousands of gold Soul Coins; let alone the hundred-year-old ones!"
"It's just a few gold Soul Coins. With your attitude, do you even act like a Soul Saint?" Yu Xiaogang remained unmoved.
So self-righteous! Flandre rolled his eyes. Tens of thousands of gold Soul Coins could cover several years of expenses for Shrek Academy, the future number-one academy of the continent.
Xiao Yan almost forgot how mentally off Yu Xiaogang was after so many years.
"Let's begin the duel. If you want to survive, it will depend on the strength of your students."
With that, Xiao Yan decided not to bother with Yu Xiaogang.
His twisted logic was unbeatable. Even if Flandre explained that Shrek Academy had nearly killed several Soul Masters, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't understand why Shrek Academy deserved to die.
Yet, as if defying Xiao Yan's wishes, Yu Xiaogang jumped forward passionately:
"Xiao Yan, your talent may be decent, but guiding Soul Masters isn't that simple! Today, in this battle, I'll show you why my name, 'Master,' is well-earned!
By the end, you'll understand my power and will absolutely kneel at the gates of Shrek Academy, begging me to take you as a disciple."
"Big brother, where did you meet this eccentric?" Ning Rongrong blinked her watery eyes at Xiao Yan, curious.
This person was truly bizarre.
With her support-type Soul Master ability, she could clearly sense that he was barely a twenty-nine Grand Soul Master yet wanted to instruct Xiao Yan. Had he lost his mind?
"It's a long story." Xiao Yan sighed deeply.
Meeting Big Wet had been purely accidental, and his contact had two purposes.
One: to gather information on Soul Masters; two: to counterattack this old dog who seemed ready to possess him, while possibly picking up some equipment.
Unfortunately, reality had completely exceeded his expectations.
Big Wet was an idiot. Correctly analyzing Soul Master information required careful reasoning.
His strength was also a mess. That farting pig Martial Soul left a deep impression.
"Let's start the duel." Xiao Yan tapped Ning Rongrong's shoulder, glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, and stepped aside.
Flandre and Zhao Wuji still feared their bodies would explode from the Blue Silver Emperor vines inside them.
Too naive.
At that time, he hadn't yet fused the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger soul ring. The Blue Silver Emperor vines then did not have the ability to absorb energy or extend duration.
Three months was the maximum time the Blue Silver Emperor could exist.
Now, the energy in their Blue Silver Emperor had nearly depleted; by sunset, it would dissipate.
Of course, if they had tried brute force removal in the first few days, the fully energized Blue Silver Emperor would have made them experience the taste of Meng Po soup.
Dai Mubai and the other two quickly formed their formation.
Oscar stayed in the back making sausages, while Dai Mubai and the other two stood at the front for defense and main attack.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stood simply, side by side.
Although it was just a duel, both sides were at a life-or-death level; there were no formalities—directly activating their Martial Souls.
As three soul rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared under Zhu Zhuqing's feet, Flandre and Zhao Wuji were shocked.
"How is this possible? Three months ago, this little girl had only level twenty-seven Soul Power! In just three months, how could she become a three-ring Soul Lord?"
"How could she become a three-ring Soul Lord?" Yu Xiaogang sneered. "How else? She used drugs to boost. This kind of potential-consuming advancement means this Nether Spirit Cat Soul Master would be, at most, a level thirty-one Soul Lord in her lifetime."
Flandre and Zhao Wuji stared at Yu Xiaogang like he was an idiot.
"She's already a level thirty-five Soul Lord!" Flandre said gravely.
Yu Xiaogang's stiff face twisted into disbelief.
He pressed his hand on Flandre's shoulder, shaking it violently. "Flandre, you're not mistaken, right? Even with drugs, there's no way a level twenty-seven Grand Soul Master could advance to a level thirty-five Soul Lord!"
Flandre shoved him aside, his face cold as frost. "You're asking me? How should I know?"
Perhaps Xiao Yan went to the Star Dou Great Forest three months ago precisely to help Zhu Zhuqing obtain her soul rings.
Trapped!
With Xiao Yan's cunning, his confidence in arranging this duel must have been nearly one hundred percent.
Yu Xiaogang thought carefully and quickly came to a conclusion: "It must be some potent, fierce medicinal drug. That's why the effect is so extraordinary. This Soul Master, Zhu Zhuqing, will likely find it impossible to break through to Soul Founder in her lifetime!"
Zhao Wuji, arms crossed, now adjusted his opinion of Big Wet—truly, he was just a Yu Xiaogang.
If such a powerful drug existed, countless Soul Masters on Douluo Continent would fight to take it.
Much better than some trash who could never break through to Soul Lord.
Flandre comforted himself: "Not too bad. Xiao Peng is level thirty-seven, and we have numerical advantage. Our chances of winning are high."
