Chapter 68: Yu Xiaogang Burns Himself with a Fart

Chapter 68: Yu Xiaogang Burns Himself with a Fart

"Ridiculous! Such disrespect towards an elder, is this how your teacher educates you?" Yu Xiaogang scolded the golden-haired boy and his chubby companion.

He then summoned Luo Sanpao, his twenty-ninth level Great Soul Master spirit, releasing a powerful aura from himself and Luo Sanpao.

"Call Flender here now, or don't blame me for being rude!" Yu Xiaogang tried to look serious and intimidating, hoping to subdue these two disrespectful kids.

"Pfft!"

"Ha ha ha, what kind of trash spirit is this!"

"Did you see that, Da Hai? Ha ha ha~~~"

The chubby boy couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of Luo Sanpao's silly appearance. Yu Xiaogang was infuriated, his forehead throbbing with veins, and he clenched his teeth in anger. He couldn't believe this chubby boy dared to insult him this way. He resolved to complain to Flender about these undisciplined kids as soon as he saw him.

"What a mess!"

"Hmph! You're obviously a liar, claiming to be a friend of our dean with such a trash spirit." Dai Mubai sneered. Recognizing the quality of Yu Xiaogang's spirit, Dai Mubai, born into royalty, instantly looked down upon it with disdain. "Don't think we won't dare to fight you just because you have twenty-ninth level soul power. Here at Shrek Academy, it's considered incompetent not to dare to cause trouble."

"If it weren't for the fact that you are disabled, I would have already taken action against you."

"Now, while I'm still not inclined to act, leave your money and scram."

Dai Mubai exuded an air of royalty, his gaze sharp and domineering, completely disregarding Yu Xiaogang as a disabled man.

"Scoundrels!"

Seeing Dai Mubai's audacity, Yu Xiaogang shouted furiously, "If teachers are negligent, it's their fault! It seems Flender has not disciplined you properly!"

"Today, I'll teach you a lesson in respect for your elders!"

Yu Xiaogang fed Luo Sanpao two carrots, ordering it to release its skill.

"Thunderous Fart, Luo Sanpao!"

Luo Sanpao turned around, its body ballooning in mid-air as if storing immense energy. Then, a thunderous boom resounded as a powerful blast accompanied by an unbearable stench shot towards Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

"Crap!" Dai Mubai tried to act but was hit by the stench. He turned his head and shouted, "Fatty, this guy's spirit skill is farting!"

Refusing to fight amidst the foul smell, Dai Mubai retreated rapidly.

"Farting?"

"Humph, dare to fart in front of me? Watch how I deal with you!"

Ma Hongjun burst into laughter, his body emitting a fiery glow as a phoenix emerged from behind him.

"Phoenix Spirit?!!" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in shock.

"First Spirit Skill, Phoenix Fire Wire!"

Ma Hongjun released a stream of fire that shot forward like a snake, piercing through Luo Sanpao's thunderous fart. Under the enhancement of the fart, the fire snake turned into a sea of flames, engulfing both Yu Xiaogang and Luo Sanpao.

"No!!!"

Yu Xiaogang, already pale with fear, forgot about his broken legs and tried to flee but fell over with his wheelchair.

"Quick, save me!"

"Quick, save me!"

Yu Xiaogang, already disabled, now attacked by flames, lost all his former dignity, his face filled with terror.

However, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun turned a deaf ear to his screams.

Dai Mubai, accustomed to life and death in the royal family, was unfazed by the prospect of someone dying.

Ma Hongjun simply didn't want to save Yu Xiaogang. He had no sympathy for someone who caused trouble without any real strength.

Cowards who dare to cause trouble are worse than trash.

"Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, what are you doing?!" Suddenly, a stern voice rang out from above.

It was none other than the dean of Shrek Academy, Flender.

"Why aren't you helping someone calling for help!"

Flender's wings flapped powerfully, extinguishing the flames on Yu Xiaogang. Although Flender didn't mind killing, he didn't want anyone dying at his academy's doorstep. It was bad luck and could affect future enrollment.

Upon landing, Dai Mubai immediately said, "Dean, this man is a fraud."

"Yes, yes."

Ma Hongjun, catching Dai Mubai's hint, nodded vigorously, "Teacher, he even claimed to be your friend. His spirit is so rubbish; how could he possibly be your friend?"

Friend?

Flender frowned, remembering that Yu Xiaogang had mentioned coming to see him. He was inclined to refuse Yu Xiaogang's visit. First, they hadn't met in a long time, and secondly, Yu Xiaogang's involvement in the past events with Liu Erlong still bothered him. And thirdly, there was the declaration from the Spirit Hall. Flender realized Yu Xiaogang was just a plagiarist who had stolen from the Spirit Hall, and he blamed Yu Xiaogang for his lost love. That bastard dared to call himself his friend? Disgusted, Flender then turned to the charred figure of Yu Xiaogang, suddenly smelling a foul odor.

"Who farted? Was it that burnt cripple?" Flender shouted angrily.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun immediately denied it.

"No, it was him, Teacher," Ma Hongjun quickly agreed. "His spirit is like a dog, and his skill is farting, ha ha ha~~~"

Flender realized that the injured man was indeed Yu Xiaogang.

"You two, go call the other teachers to help!" Despite his dislike for Yu Xiaogang, Flender didn't intend to kill him.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, realizing that the disabled soul master was actually Flender's friend, hurried into the academy to call for help.

Several days later, at Shrek Academy...

Yu Xiaogang suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ouch!"

Attempting to sit up, Yu Xiaogang immediately felt a deep, burning pain all over his body – the aftermath of being scorched by fire.

"Where am I?"

He muttered to himself, looking around the unfamiliar surroundings, "Is this Shrek Academy?"

"Yes."

"This is Shrek Academy."

Suddenly, a voice captured Yu Xiaogang's attention. He turned towards the door and saw a familiar middle-aged man standing there with a complex gaze fixed on him.

"Flender."

Yu Xiaogang hastily tried to get up.

"Sit down," Flender walked over to the bedside and pressed Yu Xiaogang back down, saying irritably, "I know what happened. You, a grown man, got into a quarrel with two kids. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have been burnt to death by Ma Hongjun's spirit skill."

"Fortunately, our academy's healers treated you. You've been unconscious for nearly a week. If you had died

 here, I couldn't bear the responsibility."

Ma Hongjun? The chubby kid?

Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly, "What kind of students are you recruiting? They don't even have the basic respect for teachers."

"They are quite extraordinary," Flender shook his head and smiled, "Ma Hongjun possesses the variant Evil Fire Phoenix spirit, while the other boy has the White Tiger spirit. Both of their innate soul powers are at level nine, far beyond ordinary people."

Oh? Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up, followed by a smirk. He didn't expect Flender's students to be such promising seeds. However, compared to his own direct disciple, Tang San, they still fell short.

Sensing the meaning behind Yu Xiaogang's smirk, Flender narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are you smiling about?"

"Just thinking," Yu Xiaogang shifted the topic, "I heard your students often go out for twins, what's that about?"

Flender sighed helplessly, "Dai Mubai loves flirting and womanizing. As his teacher, I want to discipline him, but since he does well in his studies, I can't find a reason to."

"Young people are always full of energy and curiosity."

Thinking of Dai Mubai's heterochromia, Yu Xiaogang felt a sense of malice. Since he's here, he must discipline this student properly.

"And what about Ma Hongjun?" Yu Xiaogang inquired, "He's only seven years old, right?"

Flender shook his head again, "You don't understand. As I said earlier, his spirit is the variant Evil Fire Phoenix. It's a Phoenix but born with evil fire. He must engage with women to release it, otherwise, he'll burn himself."

Yu Xiaogang's face changed, shocked by the existence of such a variant spirit. Relying on women... he envied Ma Hongjun. Thinking of his own spirit, which relied on farting for attacks, Yu Xiaogang felt a pang of jealousy.

Flender, noticing Yu Xiaogang's forlorn look, asked, "What about you? What do you plan to do here?"

"I've heard about your exploits recently," referring to Yu Xiaogang losing his master title and being accused by the Spirit Hall of plagiarizing their data. Yu Xiaogang, seemingly oblivious to Flender's implications, replied, "I can't stay in Nuoding City anymore, so I came to ask for a job."

"At my place..."

Flender's lips twitched. A man whose knowledge was almost entirely plagiarized from the Spirit Hall, what could he possibly teach? In all these years in Nuoding City, he hadn't heard of any notable soul masters emerging from under Yu Xiaogang.

However, Flender didn't outright refuse him, "Alright."

"But currently, we only have Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun as students. If you think you can teach them, I have no objections."

Yu Xiaogang frowned, "You've only recruited two students in all these years?"

"Not many students, mostly useless, why bother? Their spirits are either weak or their innate soul power is trash. They're not worthy to be my students," Flender said disdainfully, glancing at Yu Xiaogang.

"Such trash don't deserve to stay among my students."

Flender thought back to the time when he, along with Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang, had formed the Golden Iron Triangle. Without Yu Xiaogang, he and Liu Erlong could have still made a name for themselves – maybe even as the "Dragon Cat Duo."

"Pity, dragged down by a waste," Flender sighed internally.

Flender's final words were clear: he didn't welcome waste soul masters. He hoped Yu Xiaogang would leave once he recovered, to avoid awkwardness.

But Yu Xiaogang misunderstood. His eyes hardened with determination, "Great! You're truly my old friend. If we teach, we teach geniuses. Shrek Academy must only recruit geniuses!"

"You can count on me. With me here, I can solve any problems your two students have, and even make them stronger!"

Flender: ...
