CH 44: Yu Xiaogang's Hypocrisy

"Why the hell am I supposed to drag this dead weight?" Ah Li groaned, flying in the sky thanks to Oscar's 3rd Soul Skill while holding Tang San. Not with his hands though, god forbid that. Well, goddess did. He was hanging him by his tails as he flew.

Zhao Wuji :"Just deal with it. Tang San still hasn't woken up, I'm afraid the shock was too much. You're the one with the lowest risk of letting him fall and the one who can do it the easiest considering your extra limbs, so just deal with it."

Ah Li :"Ugh, fine. I'm gonna need to clean my tails extra hard after this."

Dai Mubai, scoffing :"What, does it take too much effort for you, weakling?"

Ah Li :"Wanna find out how much effort it will take dragging you too? Believe me, I don't need two tails to drag someone."

Dai Mubai :"What did you say?!"

Ah Li :"I said I'll knock you the fuck out. Should I simplify it even more? I would've expected you to learn to not get your ass beat after the first two times, but no-"

Zhao Wuji :"Enough already! We're all tired, so let's just go back as fast as we can before anything else happens."

Scoffing, Ah Li stopped paying attention to the white pussy. He was in a good mood knowing Tang San had suffered so much, and was going to suffer even more after waking up and remembering what had happened. There was no reason to ruin his good mood because of an overgrown pussy.

"Do you know what's going to be even better?" Bibi Dong suddenly asked, earning his curiosity as she smirked evilly :"Yu Xiaogang finding out about this." Making his eyes go wide. He had completely forgotten about Trashgang! "(Hahaha yeah, no doubt he's gonna piss himself silly! I wouldn't be surprised if he passed out too! Hahahaha!)"

After they finally arrived at Shrek school, unlike what everybody had expected when leaving, none of them were happy or excited. Sure, Oscar got his 3rd Soul Ring, but they nearly died because of the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu got kidnapped and returned which was nothing short of a miracle, and Tang San's Martial Soul was ruined... even further.

It wasn't a surprise none of them were excited. The most excitement they showed was in finally being back and ending the bullshit short adventure. Well, Ah Li was excited. Excited as all hell. More excited than he had been in a long time. After all, he was looking forward to how the master disciple duo were gonna react. But he couldn't show that now, so he just put on a nonchalant facade.

"Alright, everyone, good work." Zhao Wuji sighed, looking serious :"You all go and rest. Oscar, bring Tang San to your shared room. Take a good rest, I'll go and report everything that happened to the dean." And so, he walked away without looking back. No doubt he was the one suffering the most headache at the moment.

At least more than the awake ones of the group. That definitely wouldn't apply if Tang San was awake. Everyone made their way to their rooms to take a good rest, relieve themselves of whatever tiredness they had gotten. Except Ma Hongjun, who went to eat them away instead. And probably fuck them away in a brothel.

"Goddamn, today was awesome!" And also everyone except Ah Li, who was happy as hell as he slumped down on his bed, laying down as he stared at the old ceiling :"Honestly couldn't get any better."

"Agreed." His milf goddess smiled beside him, back in her original size as she sat on the edge of the bed :"But the best is yet to come. I sensed Yu Xiaogang in the school when we got here. No doubt he's going to hear about the news from Zhao Wuji."

"Oh, now that's going to be awesome!" He laughed, making sure to use his Spiritual Power so it wouldn't leave the room. Moving to lay on his side, he smirked, eyes trailing down her gorgeous curves sneakily, staying longer on her amazing breasts and to-die-for ass :"Too bad I'm not gonna be able to see it."

"Where do you think you're looking, brat?" She smirked, one eyebrow raised as she punched his nose, making him groan :"Haven't I taught you any manners when it comes to women?"

"Not the "necessary and important" things." He snickered mischievously, rubbing his nose as she flicked his forehead :"You little pervert. Want me to teach you a lesson?" She glared, but her smirk shower she wasn't mad.

"Hehehe what kind of lesson?" He grinned lightly, laying down his head on his bicep as he looked through his eyelashes, looking seductive and like a snack. One that Bibi Dong had a hard time stopping herself from devouring.

Rolling her eyes, she got up, and Ah Li's eyes immediately moved to her huge ass shaking with her every move :"Enough of your pervertedness. You may not be able to see Yu Xiaogang's ugly face when he finds out about Tang San, but I sure can. I'll be sure to tell you about it though, so don't worry."

"Aww, not fair." He pouted, causing her to chuckle at his cuteness. Pinching his soft lips, she winked :"Deal with it." Before disappearing from the room and going to where she sensed Yu Xiaogang currently was.She didn't want to miss the good show, so she didn't move slowly.

"What?! W-what happened to Tang San?!" And thankfully, she seemed to get there just in time :"Xiaogang, calm down for a moment. Zhao Wuji, explain completely." She heard Flender's serious voice. Flying to the balcony they were in, she started to watch the show.

"Sigh, as I said, Tang San was unlucky enough to absorb a World Deceiving Shapeshifting Slime's Soul Ring." Sighing, Zhao Wuji began to explain the whole situation regretfully. Although he didn't like Tang San, he was still tasked by his dad, Tang Hao, to protect him. He was worried that arrogant bastard would find him at fault and do something.

"No... n-no, this can't be..." Yu Xiaogang uttered, voice filled with disbelief and horror, much to Bibi Dong's pleasure. It was a nightmare. This had to be a nightmare. Taking one World Deceiving Shapeshifting Slime's Soul Ring was already regarded as one of the most unfortunate things that could happen, but two?!

Flender, serious :"Zhao Wuji, are you sure? Did you check if that's really the case with Tang San's Martial Soul and Soul Ring?"

Zhao Wuji :"Hm, his 3rd Soul Ring was definitely a 100-year one when he revealed it, but we didn't see his Martial Soul since he fainted right after seeing his Soul Ring and the corpse melting."

Yu Xiaogang :"T-this can't be... h-how could this have happened..."

Flender :"To think so many unfortunate things could have happened in so little time."

Zhao Wuji :"Sigh, yeah, when it rains, it pours..."

Flender :"Xiaogang, is there no way of helping Xiao San? M-maybe a way to fix his Martial Soul?"

Yu Xiaogang :"No, it's not... nothing can be changed after absorbing a World Deceiving Shapeshifting Slime's Soul Ring, since it's just like any other Soul Ring..."

Flender :"Sigh, I see... that's very unfortunate... then... what about your plan of them forming a team?"

Zhao Wuji :"Huh? What plan?"

Flender :"Master here wanted the Shrek students to form a team. And since every team needs a Control System Soul Master, the plan was for Tang San to be the core of the team. But now..."

Zhao Wuji :"Oh. No offense, master... but I don't think the children would agree to this at this point even if you told them to... even if they're friends, they've only known each other for a few days. I don't think they'd agree to..."

Flender, glaring :"Quiet, you."

Yu Xiaogang :"No, there's still a way."

Flender, surprised :"To help Xiao San?!"

Yu Xiaogang, grimly :"No, not that, unfortunately. I'm talking about the team. I was thinking of keeping this a secret for now, but... sigh, actually, Tang San had Twin Martial Souls."

Flender/Zhao Wuji :"Twin Martial Souls?!"

Yu Xiaogang :"Yes, it's the reason why he works so hard. Even if his Blue Silver Grass is ruined, if his Soul Power Level increases to a certain point, he can still become extremely strong by attaching 10,000-year Soul Rings to his second Martial Soul."

Flender, excited :"I see, so that's why! Hahahaha Xiaogang, you should've told us this sooner! Do you know how worried I was?!"

Zhao Wuji, excited :"Flender is right, we were very worried for Xiao San's future! I didn't even know how to tell Flender the bad news on the way."

Flender :"If it's this way, the children wouldn't disagree with having Tang San, a Twin Martial Souls Soul Master, as their leader! After all, even if his Blue Silver Grass doesn't work, his second Martial Soul will be extremely powerful if we do what you said!"

Yu Xiaogang :"Sigh, true, but it's still very unfortunate. Xiao San's Twin Martial Souls would have made him an extremely powerful person. Even stronger than his father. But luck wouldn't have it."

Flender :"Sigh, it's unfortunate, but we can't change anything about it. Some things are just not meant to happen. Hey, at least his second Martial Soul makes all of our worries disappear!"

Bibi Dong, smiling sinisterly :'Not if me and Li'er have anything to say about it. By the time that hypocritical bastard starts to attach Soul Rings to his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, I will definitely find a way to ruin that too.'

Yu Xiaogang :"Yeah, you're right."

Flender :"Now let's forget about the gloomy stuff! So who are you planning to include in the team? A team consists of seven people, but there are eight monsters in our Shrek school. One of them is bound to be either left out, or sit outside until being switched with another member."

Yu Xiaogang :"I was thinking Ah Li."

Bibi Dong :"Idiot."

Flender, surprised :"Ah Li? But Xiaogang, haven't you already read his files? Ah Li, that brat, is not only talented, but he also has two 10,000-year Soul Rings despite being only Lv 20!"

Zhao Wuji :"Lv 28, to be specific. He said he broke through while recovering in the forest."

Flender :"There. And he's also strong enough to beat Dai Mubai easily, despite him being 10 Levels higher than him. The poison of his Martial Soul seems to be extremely deadly as well, enough to cripple someone of even a Rank higher for some time. Why would you make him the bench teammate?"

His reasons were simple, but he couldn't reveal them. He didn't like Ah Li. More specifically, he didn't like how strong he had gotten. At first, it was him who rejected the idea of Ah Li being his student right in front of him when Tang San mentioned it. Thinking that his Innate Soul Power Level of 2 was too low to be his, the great Yu Xiaogang's, student.

Yet now, he had grown to be so powerful and actually acquire two 10,000-year Soul Rings, making the impossible possible and slapping his theories in the face. If people knew that he rejected this kind of a genius being his disciple, wouldn't everybody laugh at his stupidity?

There was no way he could let him shine and bring out his stupid decision back then to light. The spotlight had to belong to his student for the world to know his greatness. And for that, he needed Tang San to be the center of the team.

But of course, he couldn't let anybody know his decision was out of envy for Ah Li's achievements despite having an Innate Soul Power Level of only 2. And of course, the fact that he rejected him had to be buried. And to do that, he knew exactly how to make the noiret lose his worth in everybody's eyes.

Yu Xiaogang :"Two reasons. One, Ah Li's limit. You may not know this since he probably hid it, but Ah Li's Innate Soul Power Level is only 2."
