Time flew, and before one knew it, the next day arrived.
It was Sunday.
And it was the last day of the bet.
Counting the team battle yesterday, Tang San had secured fifty-eight consecutive victories, far surpassing the Bloodthirsty Demon's fifty-one consecutive victories, and even effortlessly crushed Bloodthirsty Demon No. 3's fifty-four consecutive victories.
Meanwhile, Xiaowu and Dai Mubai had both obtained their Silver Fighting Soul Badges.
But Master was still somewhat uneasy.
And he found something particularly strange.
Every day from 8 a.m., the Dou Huang Battle Team practiced until 6 p.m., with only a one-hour break for eating and the rest devoted to training.
Moreover, their training content included combat skills, two-person bouts, and team formations, among other things!
The intensity was not the least bit inferior to Shrek's.
But how on earth did they manage to rest for only one hour and, with their energy sustained, continue to participate in individual, team bets, and team battles at 7 p.m.?
Everyone from Shrek Academy started training at five in the morning and only regained their strength after taking a medicated bath until five-thirty in the afternoon.
Extremely peculiar.
He had secretly observed for three days, and each time it was the same!
Could there be some secret?
Master made a firm decision in his heart, tonight he had to stay longer.
It was the final day, and nothing could go wrong!
At six in the evening, as the sunset fell.
The Dou Huang Battle Team members also stopped practicing, and just when he was about to give up, he suddenly discovered that each of them was holding a black pill in their hand.
They then took them one after another!
"I knew it!"
Yu Xiaogang, hidden in the shadows, narrowed his eyes!
He knew there had to be something sustaining them, which was why the Dou Huang Battle Team was able to persevere for so long!
"Uncle, why have you come?"
A shadow appeared in the back courtyard.
It was none other than Yu Xiaogang.
"I was just passing by and did not expect you to be training here."
Master stood with his hands behind his back.
His bearing was that of an elder.
Anyway, his posture outdid even a Titled Douluo in Douluo-ness.
"Tian Heng, is this your uncle?"
Dugu Yan asked Yu Tianheng.
"Mhm, he's the leader of the Shrek squad we defeated last time," Yu Tianheng introduced.
"Tian Heng, you should give a full introduction. Besides being the leader of the Shrek squad, I am also the master of Thousand Hands Asura, who has obtained the Silver Fighting Soul Badge, and even the Bloodthirsty Demon is my prospective disciple."
Listening to this, Master's lips twitched slightly at the corner, what does mean 'defeated the leader of Shrek'!
Who would deliberately belittle their own dear uncle like this?!
"The Bloodthirsty Demon is really your disciple??" Ye Lingling asked incredulously.
As a support-class Soul Master, she had never participated in individual bouts.
All these days, she had only taken part in team battles.
She'd spent several hours at the Soul Arena, mostly watching others fight.
Apart from the members of the Dou Huang squad, her attention was wholly focused on the Bloodthirsty Demon.
She always felt that person was very familiar, almost like an instructor.
At first glance, this man didn't seem capable of cultivating such a decisively lethal being.
Her intuition told her.
This man was like a dog in tiger's clothing.
Seeming full of bluster and grandeur, but in reality brittle on the inside; it was all a facade!
"Hmph! Little girl, why would I lie to you?!"
Master locked his gaze on Ye Lingling!
"Uncle, you actually have only level 29 Soul Power. Saying you're the level 33 Thousand Hands Asura and level 35 Bloodthirsty Demon's teacher is indeed a bit exaggerated, and it's normal for everyone not to believe it," Yu Tianheng said when he heard his uncle's words, harboring doubts in his heart as well.
Unless both Thousand Hands Asura and Bloodthirsty Demon personally acknowledge this, that would be a different story.
"Well, that may be true. How about I have the two of them say hello to you guys after tonight's final team battle?"
After tonight's last battle, points would be tallied and badges and prize money awarded.
At this moment, Master outwardly appeared understanding.
But inside, he loathed the very thought of strangling his grinning nephew.
How dare he expose his level 29 shortcoming!
Unforgivable!!
What use is your level 39 strength, when you are still miserably thrashed by his disciple?!
Of course, his visit today was to investigate what those black pills were.
Once he had them in hand and won tonight, he would settle all the old scores when he returned to the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan!
Mock him, Yu Xiaogang.
You all will pay the price!!
"Yes, yes, we all want to meet the Bloodthirsty Demon! He's just so mysterious, and terribly powerful!!"
Yu Tianheng nodded frantically when he heard this!
"The Bloodthirsty Demon is really not that mysterious at all. Oh, by the way, I just saw you taking some kind of black pill, what is that? Tian Heng, as a member of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, you can't just mess with drugs. It will affect your foundation if your father and grandfather find out—it'll be serious!"
Master had a serious look on his face, a posture of rebuke.
He knew that if he asked normally, there was no way they would hand over the pills.
So he changed his strategy.
Dealing with his nephew, Yu Xiaogang had plenty of tricks up his sleeve!
"Uncle, this drug isn't for boosting strength; it's a stamina pill that our instructor gave us, which can instantly restore our energy," Yu Tianheng hurriedly explained.
The Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan strictly prohibited its disciples from using drugs to enhance their abilities, with penalties ranging from confinement for a few months to even family law enforcement for severe cases!!
He was afraid that his uncle would misunderstand and report it back to his grandfather and father—that would be troublesome.
"Stamina pills? There's no such thing as stamina pills in this world, show me!"
Master held out a hand.
Indeed, it turns out the Dou Huang Battle Team was hiding such treasures!
He had to deceive them first and then give them to Xiaosan to use!
Then, a sure victory was certain.
"Tian Heng."
Dugu Yan tugged at Yu Tianheng.
She always felt that Tian Heng's uncle seemed sneaky.
As if he was brewing something.
"Yen'er, this is my uncle, it's fine for him to look," Tian Heng offered two stamina pills.
The uncle was an elder, and in the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, all the elders were highly respected and trustworthy.
Moreover, this was his own uncle, who would certainly not harm him!
He guessed the other party just wanted to study the stamina pill.
After all, the other party recently said he had been researching all kinds of theories.
"I can't tell anything from this thing. I need to take it back and study it. Do you have any extras?"
Having obtained the stamina pills, Master was ecstatic inside, his nephew was just too gullible!!
However, he was very good at pretending on the outside, first sniffing it, then frowning with a very disgusted expression.
"I have three left, but uncle, what do you need so many for?!"
The instructor had given each of them five pills for the first time, and again five yesterday.
So there were five left.
"Are you doubting your uncle now? Truly no good deed goes unpunished. I just want to study whether these stamina pills contain any other harmful components. If they affect your cultivation foundation, it's a lifelong matter!!"
Master was very serious!
And that was how he tricked Yu Tianheng and the other members of the Dou Huang Battle Team out of seven Stamina Pills.
The moment he left the Rose Hotel, he was ecstatic to the point of levitation!!
With these seven elixirs in hand, Shrek was certain to win tonight! Tang San was certain to win!!
Indeed, these kids were just too easy to deceive!
However, he didn't know that all of this had already been seen by a pair of eyes.
"Are you very happy? Think you're sure to win tonight??"
Watching Master's retreating back, Ye Feng's mouth curled slightly.
He had noticed Yu Xiaogang sneaking around the Rose Hotel two days ago, so he deliberately set a trap with inferior elixirs!
That was to give him the hope of a certain victory, only to have him defeated utterly in the end.
This roller coaster-like thrill of a fall matched Master perfectly.
Of course, there was another purpose beyond that.
That was to let Yu Tianheng see the true hypocritical nature of this sanctimonious uncle, Yu Xiaogang.
From estrangement among relatives to fraternal discord, to a family split, steps unfolded one by one!!
Now, Flander, because of Master's guile, had bet all his assets. After losing this battle, their relationship would definitely become very exciting, perhaps even completely estranged.
And after Yu Tianheng saw the true hypocritical face of his uncle, Yu Xiaogang, that would be the beginning of a family split!
This drama.
Will premiere tonight at twelve sharp.
And his identity as Ye Feng would no longer be hidden.
He really wanted to see what expression Master would have once he knows that the person he is now begging to take as his disciple is the same boy whom he drove out of the attic and personally fed to the Datura snake to die!
The drama in the wee hours, truly something to look forward to!
