"Genuine congratulations? Do you think I would believe that? I've seen your ugly faces long ago; it's just a pity that I, Yu Xiaogang, have trained a good disciple, while yours only knows how to vent his frustrations in the brothel, spending his days in nothing but debauchery!"
Master coldly huffed.
Ma Hongjun: "?????"
Why the hell is he bringing this up out of nowhere?
Did Ma Hongjun eat Yu Xiaogang's family's rice?
"Brock, Dean Flender is sincerely congratulating you, and you shouldn't be so sensitive. Just accept his goodwill."
At this time, Second Dragon spoke to Dean Flender.
After all, the three were once the renowned Golden Iron Triangle in the world of Soul Masters.
She didn't want today's big brother and today's lover to be at odds again.
"Second Dragon, are you confused? Flender is not as good as you think he is. This man is a filthy, contemptible profiteer, who stops at nothing for gain! He even went so far as to grab his own brother by the collar and hurl unpleasant words at him!"
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, grinding his teeth as he spoke.
Being mocked as a worthless person with only level 29 soul power was something he would remember all his life.
"Sigh~"
Liu Erlong sighed.
The man she loved was good in every way.
It was just that, in some matters, he was slightly too extreme, possibly due to years of feeling inferior and arrogant.
She knew that Brock had always harbored a dream of being respected by others!
A dream of someday slapping the face of everyone who looked down on him!
"Fine, whatever you think is right."
Dean Flender shrugged his shoulders.
He made compromises in consideration of their past brotherhood.
But this did not mean he, Dean Flender, would always lower himself,
"I, Yu Xiaogang, am no longer who I was before. Xiaosan, Teacher, thank you for helping me break through to level 30."
Yu Xiaogang said some words as if addressing everyone present, then looked at Tang San with a satisfied face.
"Don't mention it. I believe that with Teacher surpassing the level 30 hurdle, the future will only get better."
At this moment, Tang San said with a smile.
Back then, when he was too poor to afford a blanket, it was his Teacher who gave him a double-sized quilt, which also led him to meet Xiaowu.
He shared the bed with Xiaowu for six full years.
In his heart, the kindness of his teacher was great.
This bit of help was the least he should offer.
And he also didn't like others calling his teacher a worthless person!
A level 29 worthless person!
Master was undoubtedly a signal; the Shrek companions began harvesting the immortal grass.
The most frantic among them was Ma Hongjun!
Every time Yu Xiaogang argued with Dean Flender, he'd bring him up just to criticize him.
How he couldn't compare to Tang San, how he only knew how to visit brothels.
It was infuriating!!
He vowed to raise his state of power and strength.
"Xiaosan, do you have any more of these herbs?"
While the Shrek companions were consuming Immortal Grass Elixir to recuperate and improve their soul power rank,
that very moment, Master was not idle.
He knew his disciple Tang San had the ability to recognize these Immortal Grass Elixirs.
The herbs he was just given were of the finest quality.
He wanted a few more plants.
To boost himself a little further.
According to his theory, although he hadn't gained a soul ring, soul power could accumulate.
Once he improved, everything would rise together.
"There's none left, Teacher. Those were the two best five thousand year immortal grasses here," said Tang San at the time.
His teacher was indeed a person he respected and loved, almost like a father.
But in his heart, there was an order.
He came first, Xiaowu second, his birth father third, then came Master.
So naturally, he wouldn't give the Ten Thousand Year Immortal Grass Elixir to Master.
"Alright then."
Master felt a bit disappointed.
But upon further thought,
indeed, how could there be so many of such things?
Having access to two plants was already very good.
And so, Master and Liu Erlong went out to search for the third soul ring.
Tang San went to soak in the Yin-Yang Spring Eye.
Dean Flender and Zhao Wuji kept watch outside.
And the other Shrek companions were crazily consuming the immortal grass.
Especially Xiaowu, who, in order not to hold anyone back—and perhaps because it was just in a rabbit's nature—ate in huge amounts.
Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Yu Xiaogang had already returned.
He had successfully advanced to Level Thirty-One.
Now, under Tang San's guidance, he was ingesting some immortal grass that was over three hundred years old.
In two days' time, he had risen another level.
On the other side of the Aquipeia Forest.
Ye Feng and everyone from the Tian Dou Royal Academy had obtained their soul rings.
That included Ye Feng himself.
After all, it was largely thanks to the three committee members.
If it weren't for them, killing a seventy-thousand-year-old soul beast would have indeed been quite difficult.
With this batch, he had successfully advanced to the rank of Soul Emperor!
Now at Level Sixty-Three!!!
They were currently on their way out.
It was time to return to Tiandou City.
After all, they had been out for such a long time.
In a small town outside of the Star Dou Forest.
Du Gubo had been quite happy these past few days.
Good wine and tea accompanied him in the town; after all, this was the first time he had ever thoroughly defeated Old Chrysanthemum
The other party was so scared that they didn't even dare to let out a fart, fleeing in complete disarray!
Only leaving behind a line about how next time they met, they wouldn't let him off so easily or something like that!
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Du Gubo sensed a familiar aura.
Old Peel and Yen'er? Weren't they supposed to be in the Sunset Forest? What were they doing here?
"Let's eat here today, what do you guys think?"
The coach of the Tian Dou Royal Academy slowly came to a stop.
Zhi Lin was the one speaking at this moment.
Sigh, ever since he became a committee member, he seldom had the chance to accompany the kids to hunt soul beasts.
This time spending over a week in the Aquipeia Forest, the food situation had been somewhat difficult to describe.
They were still a long way from Tiandou City, so they might as well have a good meal before heading back.
"Instructor Ye, what do you think?"
However, after Zhi Lin spoke, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and even Yufeng all turned to ask Ye Feng.
It seemed they were all waiting for Ye Feng to speak.
If he was willing, they would stay; if not, they would go.
"Let's just eat here," said Ye Feng with a bitter smile.
He wondered if he had revealed too much of his charming appeal.
Otherwise, why would things be like this!!
"Ah, this…"
Zhi Lin, the deputy head of the Tian Dou Royal Academy, was completely flustered at this moment.
So basically, his role as a committee member was now redundant??
"Then let's eat at this place!" said Dugu Yan.
"Right, the place looks quite new; it should be clean," commented Shi Mo and others as they nodded.
"Then let's go in!" Zhi Lin was hungry too.
After all, a Soul Douluo is human too! They need to eat and drink just like anyone else.
At most, they're just a bit more resistant to hunger than the average person.
"This establishment?" Ye Feng looked at the restaurant before him with some hesitation in his eyes.
"Do you not like this place, Instructor? Then let's find another one!" Seeing the hesitant look on Ye Feng's face, Dugu Yan asked at this moment.
Ye Lingling expressed agreement.
Yufeng expressed agreement.
Osslor hadn't entered.
Shi Mo, with one foot already in the door, now stood frozen in place.
Zhi Lin had gone inside and was just about to sit down.
