Chapter 113 – His Only Pride is Gone, Yu Xiaogang is About to Cry
"System, what the hell is this 'Reality and Wisdom Power'?"
Star Dou Great Forest, core area, beside the Lake of Life.
When Lin Yu saw that the system's punishment for Yu Xiaogang was stripping his martial soul of its Reality and Wisdom Power, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
[Ding! The host should know that Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, Luo San Pao, compared to ordinary martial souls, has a physical form and also possesses a certain degree of intelligence.]
[By stripping away its Reality and Wisdom Power, the Luo San Pao martial soul can no longer manifest as a physical entity. From now on, Yu Xiaogang must use Martial Soul Possession in order to activate soul skills!]
In his mind, the system's cold mechanical voice immediately responded.
"What? Yu Xiaogang has to use Martial Soul Possession from now on just to launch fart attacks?"
Hearing the system's reply, Lin Yu nearly burst out laughing, barely holding it in.
If not for the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python being nearby, along with the Silver Dragon King who could monitor the outside world, he would have tilted his head back and laughed three times at the sky.
Damn, this was too good!
Yu Xiaogang clearly knew nothing, with little real knowledge, yet always loved to put on the airs of a so-called 'Grandmaster.'
His martial soul's skill was nothing more than a ridiculous fart attack, and his only shred of dignity came from the fact that Luo San Pao could materialize, allowing him to launch those fart attacks externally.
But now, after this punishment, with the loss of Reality and Wisdom Power, Luo San Pao had reverted to an ordinary martial soul.
From now on, he would have to enter Martial Soul Possession just to unleash fart-based soul skills.
Lin Yu could barely imagine it.
When facing enemies, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, after summoning Luo San Pao, would have no choice but to possess his martial soul, stuff himself with white radishes, and then aim his rear at the enemy to attack with farts.
Someone as obsessed with saving face as Yu Xiaogang—he'd surely go insane!
Hahaha!
"Wait! Reality and Wisdom Power… System, this Wisdom Power, you didn't strip Luo San Pao's consciousness as well, did you? I was planning to merge this power into my Golden Holy Dragon martial soul!"
As he laughed, Lin Yu suddenly thought of something, and panic flickered through him.
He didn't want his Golden Holy Dragon martial soul to suddenly have the consciousness of Luo San Pao—a being that only farted.
[Ding! The host may rest assured. While this system stripped away the Reality and Wisdom Power from Yu Xiaogang's Luo San Pao martial soul, the Wisdom Power removed was its source of intelligence, not its consciousness. The consciousness of Luo San Pao still remains in its body, but its intelligence will never again improve.]
[And if the host integrates the Reality and Wisdom Power into the Golden Holy Dragon martial soul, then although it will be able to react according to your commands, it won't possess self-awareness, only mechanical intelligence—similar to the computers from your previous life.]
The system's cold voice echoed in his mind.
"That's good!"
Hearing this, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He truly wanted this Reality and Wisdom Power.
After all, Yu Xiaogang's Luo San Pao martial soul could combine with Liu Erlong and Flender's martial souls to perform the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill – Golden Holy Dragon, which happened to be a separated-form fusion skill.
If he fused this Reality and Wisdom Power, perhaps it could help him solve the problem of his martial soul wavering between separated-form and possession-type.
But if the cost was letting his Golden Holy Dragon gain Luo San Pao's farting consciousness, that would be utterly revolting!
Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but gloat again, curious how Yu Xiaogang was feeling now.
"System, the face-slapping is done. Display my answer in the livestream!"
…
At the same time, at the border of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, within a forest that was part of the Star Dou Great Forest's outlying ranges—
After countless golden light specks were stripped away from Luo San Pao's martial soul…
Seeing his Luo San Pao become translucent and illusory, deprived of its Reality and Wisdom Power, Yu Xiaogang collapsed weakly to the ground, clutching himself in anguish and crying out miserably:
"No! San Pao!!!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang kneeling, snot and tears streaming as he pounded the ground in grief, Tang San beside him could only feel speechless.
So what if his martial soul became an ordinary one?
Wasn't every beast martial soul the same? Was that worth acting like his parents had died?
If you don't know the answer, don't force it!
You clearly didn't know, but acted so confident earlier—ridiculous!
Tang San realized that his dislike for this so-called teacher was growing stronger and stronger.
This so-called 'Grandmaster of Martial Soul Theory' had taught him for months, and all he had learned was how to recognize spirit beasts' types and ages. Beyond that, completely useless!
But considering that this was still technically his teacher, Tang San forced himself to act concerned, hurrying over to help Yu Xiaogang up.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
"I… I'm fine…"
Helped to his feet, seeing his one disciple who could still validate his identity, Yu Xiaogang forced out a smile uglier than crying, though his heart was already sobbing.
Because he realized—his martial soul, Luo San Pao, had completely become an ordinary martial soul.
Although it still had consciousness, his one and only pride was gone.
And since it had become ordinary, didn't that mean he'd now have to, like other spirit masters, perform Martial Soul Possession and personally unleash fart attacks?
Just picturing the scene made Yu Xiaogang want to die of shame.
But seeing that his disciple Tang San and his idol Tang Hao hadn't thought that far, of course he wouldn't say it out loud.
After all, a martial soul skill based on farting had always been his deepest humiliation!
[Prompt: Lin Yu's Answer—Martial souls are divided into Beast Souls, Tool Souls, and Body Souls. Answer correct!]
[Reward: Random Martial Soul ×1, already delivered!]
As Tang San helped Yu Xiaogang up, blood-red characters floated in the air before everyone, while a cold voice echoed in their ears.
"Other than Beast and Tool Martial Souls, there's also Body Martial Souls? What kind of martial soul is that?"
In the livestream, when they saw Lin Yu's answer was actually correct, both the human nobles and spirit masters, as well as the hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts, were all utterly shocked.
Even Yu Xiaogang himself was in disbelief.
Body Martial Soul? What kind of martial soul was that? Why had he never even heard of it?
[Lin Yu (mocking): @Yu Xiaogang, you can't even answer such a simple question? And you call yourself a Grandmaster? Please. You're just a thief stealing others' knowledge. The only title you deserve is 'Grandmess!']
As soon as the livestream confirmed Lin Yu's correct answer, his mocking words once again cut deep into Yu Xiaogang, nearly making him vomit blood.
Seeing Lin Yu's words, Liu Erlong was instantly furious.
But before she could snap back at Lin Yu to defend Yu Xiaogang—
The illusory screen was instantly flooded with countless complaints from civilians, blowing up the livestream once again!
