Chapter 48: Yu Xiaogang Loses Everything! Qian Renxue's Probe!
After the Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo left, Yu Xiaogang endured the pain in his body and barely used his soul power to control his bleeding.
At this moment, he had completely fallen into a state of madness.
He roared, unwilling and hysterical:
"Just you all wait!"
"I am the only theory grandmaster in the soul master world. I'm a genius wherever I go!"
"Tang San and his father! Bibi Dong! Just you all wait!"
"You're all jealous of my talent! You know I'm too much of a genius, so you target me!"
"I… I still have a trump card; I still have Erlong."
"As long as Erlong, Flender, and I are together, we are the strongest Golden Iron Triangle!"
"As long as I can help Erlong and Flender continue to break through, if they reach Titled Douluo level, then with our martial soul fusion skill, I won't need to fear Bibi Dong or Tang Hao anymore!"
"I still have my theories. If I can't cultivate Tang San, can't I cultivate Erlong and Flender?!"
What Yu Xiaogang said wasn't wrong. The stronger the participants in a martial soul fusion technique, the stronger the technique itself becomes.
If he could make Liu Erlong and Flender stronger, then by extension, he too could become part of that strength.
At that point, dealing with Tang Hao and the others might not be impossible.
However, Yu Xiaogang was thinking too simply. How could two Soul Saints break through so easily, let alone reach the Titled Douluo level? Did he think they grew like cabbages?
Not to mention, Yu Xiaogang still didn't know that Flender had already been casually killed by the Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
In this lifetime, Yu Xiaogang would never again have a martial soul fusion skill.
Even Liu Erlong, due to the influence of the Sharp Commentary, had already begun to give up on him gradually.
From this moment on, Yu Xiaogang had completely lost all support. Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would no longer acknowledge him…
Only, Yu Xiaogang himself didn't know any of this. Enduring the pain, he decided to first find Flender and return to Shrek Academy.
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful for certain people.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Xiao Wu cried the entire night, immersed in grief.
Yu Xiaogang dragged his frail body, step by step, trying to find others.
Tang Hao and Tang San continued traveling, preparing to find a stable place to stay first.
Dai Mubai and the others buried Flender and the other teachers, then left under the cover of darkness, heading toward Heaven Dou City's Blue Tyrant Academy.
Only the starting point of everything, Song Ye, after absorbing his rewards, peacefully fell asleep.
That sleep lasted until the next morning.
Because the system had rewarded him with a ten-thousand-year spiritual-type Head Soul Bone the day before, greatly increasing his spiritual power, Song Ye decided not to absorb the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
As for the final immortal herb slot, Song Ye decided to reserve it for the Origin Energy Immortal Grass, which could help him condense a soul core in advance.
Soul Masters with a soul core could completely crush those without one.
However, before Song Ye could leave to find Dugu Bo, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect invited Crown Prince Xue Qinghe as a guest. For safety reasons, no one was allowed to enter or leave the sect.
Of course, if it were someone like Ning Rongrong wanting to go out, there would definitely be no problem—after all, she was the sect master's daughter.
But although Song Ye claimed to be Ning Rongrong's friend, the other servants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect didn't know that. Moreover, Ning Rongrong had been taking care of Xiao Wu, while Ning Fengzhi and the two Titled Douluo had to accompany the Crown Prince.
So Song Ye found himself in an awkward situation, unable to leave.
"Wait, I can't even go out to buy something? I'm your young lady's friend."
Song Ye explained to the guards, only to find that the current guards of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect included many Soul Emperors and even Soul Saints. He couldn't force his way out even if he wanted to.
With no other choice, Song Ye shrugged it off. "Forget it…"
"Since I can't go out today, I'll go tomorrow."
"If I rush out recklessly, it might cause misunderstandings. It's not like I'm someone who lacks a single day."
After all, the Origin Energy Immortal Grass was a hidden immortal herb that even a Titled Douluo couldn't detect, so that it wouldn't be lost. He didn't mind waiting a day.
What Song Ye didn't understand was, "Xue Qinghe… isn't that actually Qian Renxue?"
"Although Ning Fengzhi is her nominal teacher, why did she specifically come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? With her identity, she's delaying my time."
What Song Ye didn't know was that Qian Renxue's visit this time was indeed related to him.
Qian Renxue had been watching the Sharp Commentaries on the light screen for the past few days and knew that Shrek Academy had to be destroyed; otherwise, it would be a massive obstacle for Spirit Hall.
Especially Tang San, Tang Hao, and that one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Xiao Wu.
On the surface, Qian Renxue's visit was to meet her teacher, but in reality, she wanted to obtain information about Ning Rongrong from Ning Fengzhi, preferably even about Shrek Academy.
Song Ye was unaware of all this. He simply returned to his room and began cultivating.
Waiting a day was fine. After completing another round of Sharp Commentary tonight to get rewards, the efficiency of absorbing the Origin Energy Immortal Grass might be even higher tomorrow.

Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong looked at Dai Mubai and the others, especially at the relics of Flender in Dai Mubai's hands, listening as they said Flender had already died.
Liu Erlong could no longer control her emotions and broke down crying on the spot:
"Boss Fu, why!"
"How did this happen… Boss Fu, I finally escaped from Xiaogang's emotional trap."
"The only person I could trust was you. How could it be that you're gone too…"
"Wuu wuu… Yu Xiaogang, it's related to him again! Why is it that anyone connected to him ends up so unfortunate…"
Especially when Dai Mubai and the others said that before being captured, Yu Xiaogang had even shouted about getting back together with Bibi Dong.
And then having Bibi Dong avenge him.
At that moment, Liu Erlong's heart completely died.
"So in his heart, I still can't compare to that woman?"
"Back then, he said he would be with me, yet at the critical moment, he ran away on his own."
"Heh, and now he wants to go back to that woman."
"I, Liu Erlong, from this moment on, have nothing more to do with Yu Xiaogang! You were heartless to me; don't blame me for being ruthless to you!"
Only now did Dai Mubai and the others realize that this Aunt Erlong was once Yu Xiaogang's old lover and Flender's beloved.
What a pity. Flender had already passed away. If he had seen Liu Erlong no longer loving Yu Xiaogang, how happy he would have been. It would have meant he had hope again.
But fate did not follow people's wishes. Everything was truly over.
In the end, Liu Erlong accepted Dai Mubai and the others into Blue Tyrant Academy, swearing to Flender's spirit that she would properly teach them and help them succeed.
On the other side, when Yu Xiaogang returned to Shrek Academy, all he saw were several graves.
He refused to believe it. He even dug up Flender's grave himself. Only after seeing Flender's corpse did he begin to vent.
To Yu Xiaogang, Flender was at fault: "Flender, why did you have to die now!"
"You're dead! My Golden Iron Triangle is gone! How am I supposed to take revenge now!"
"You bastard! Flender! Do you not even want me to have my revenge?! You don't deserve to be my brother at all!!"
