Chapter 186: The Master and Disciple Hit by Falling Filth from the Sky!
Tang San also shook his head helplessly, forcing a bitter smile. "I don't know either, Teacher."
"From the moment I opened my eyes this morning until now, it's like a jinxed star has possessed me. I've already gone through a whole series of incredibly unlucky things."
After that, with a face full of grievance, Tang San briefly recounted the string of misfortunes he had suffered since morning, being elbowed, having his eye stabbed, tripping on flat ground, and being splashed with dirty water.
After hearing Tang San's tragic experience, Yu Xiaogang was stunned and completely unable to find any scientific explanation.
He didn't know what was going on either and could only awkwardly comfort him:
"This… It's probably just that our luck today is really bad. Just a coincidence. Don't think too much about it."
During the next hour or so of teaching, the room remained unusually calm, and no more bizarre misfortunes occurred.
This made the nervous master and disciple let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.
It seemed that the nightmare-like bad luck had finally passed completely.
Just as the two of them fully let down their guard and thought everything was finally fine, the Misfortune Card had only just begun to reveal its malicious fangs.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was speaking with great enthusiasm.
With his hands clasped behind his back and his chin slightly raised, he struck what he believed to be an unfathomably profound master's pose.
"Xiao San, remember, there are no useless martial souls, only—"
Standing in the middle of the room, Yu Xiaogang was just about to deliver a passionate concluding statement.
Suddenly!
From the ceiling above their heads came an extremely strange creaking sound of wooden boards breaking.
It must be known that directly above Yu Xiaogang's office was an old, shared toilet in the academy staff dormitory area!
Due to years of disrepair, coupled with the causal disruption of the Misfortune Card today, that old floor could finally no longer bear the load.
"BOOM!!"
With an ear-splitting explosion, the ceiling above Yu Xiaogang suddenly collapsed over a large area!
What followed was not ordinary bricks or rubble.
But an entire mass of toilet waste water and excrement that had fermented heavily due to a clogged pipe.
This terrifying "biochemical weapon," like a mudslide, mixed with rotten wooden planks, poured down with overwhelming force.
"Splatter!"
"Crash!"
Yu Xiaogang, who had his mouth wide open and was about to begin his long speech, didn't even have time to scream.
He was directly hit square on the head by the falling filth!
The nauseating yellow-white substance streamed down his face and even poured straight into his mouth!
And Tang San, who was sitting not far away, naturally couldn't escape either!
This wide-ranging "filth waterfall" drenched Tang San completely. Even with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, there was nowhere to dodge. Several rotten vegetable leaves stuck right onto his nose!
The master and disciple were struck by this sudden baptism of filth and collapsed onto the ground, completely stunned.
In an instant, the entire office was filled with a horrifying stench capable of knocking someone dead on the spot!
"Ugh—"
Tang San was the first to react. His stomach churned violently, and he immediately bent over on the ground, vomiting crazily.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang's eyes rolled back.
He was directly knocked unconscious by the stench, falling stiffly into the pile of yellow-white filth, completely senseless.
The thunderous sound of the collapse quickly attracted the attention of the other teachers and students of Nuoding City.
A large number of teachers and students, hearing the commotion, curiously rushed toward Yu Xiaogang's office.
By the time they reached the corridor, before even opening the tightly shut door, just getting a few steps closer, everyone smelled an extremely pungent and nauseating stench.
Then, to their horror, they discovered that some yellow-white viscous substance was slowly seeping out from under the gap of the door!
At this moment, Tang San, trapped inside the office, could no longer endure the ultimate stench.
His stomach churned violently, and he couldn't hold it in any longer.
He suddenly yanked the door open, trying to gulp in fresh air.
However, as the door was suddenly flung open, the accumulated, fermented stench inside burst out like a storm into the corridor!
With the airflow, the smell became even more piercing and unbearable!
"Ugh—"
Many of the teachers and students watching outside immediately turned pale from the stench.
They clutched the walls and retched violently, and the scene instantly became extremely chaotic and unbearable to look at.
The academy dean, who had rushed over after hearing the news, pinched his nose and forced himself to take a look.
Looking up, he realized that the problem had come from the old toilet directly above Yu Xiaogang's office.
The load-bearing wooden boards of the toilet had broken, and the thick pipe carrying the waste below had also completely ruptured.
All kinds of filth poured down, leading to the current disgusting situation.
However, the dean was also confused.
Although the toilet upstairs was indeed an old structure, for safety reasons, he had always arranged for people to reinforce and inspect it regularly.
So how could it just so coincidentally break down completely at this exact moment without any warning?
This was simply too unreasonable, too unscientific!
But in the end, faced with this inexplicable and bizarre accident, the dean and the others could only shake their heads helplessly.
They attributed everything to the terrible luck of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, this unlucky pair of master and disciple.
Meanwhile, in the shadows at a distance, the Tang Hao, who had been silently observing everything, frowned deeply.
He had clearly seen all the unlucky events that had happened today, and he understood it best in his heart.
With his cultivation, he was certain that no one upstairs had secretly tampered with anything.
This was purely an accidental coincidence!
But the frequency of such absurd accidents happening today was simply too high, too eerie.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
With the help of Tang Xiao, Tang Yuehua finally successfully obtained a soul ring and returned from the sect to Moon Pavilion.
At this moment, her temperament had undergone a complete transformation, becoming even more elegant and noble.
She had not only successfully obtained her first soul ring, but her cultivation had also surged forward, breaking through from rank ten to become a rank fifteen Soul Master!
Of the five ranks of soul power she gained out of nowhere, two ranks came from the immense energy provided by absorbing a high-age first soul ring.
The other three ranks came from the energy of the Martial Soul Origin Completion Stone she had previously fused, a reward from the system.
