Night.
In a slum district of Tiandou City.
Yu Xiaogang was jolted awake by pain from his sleep.
Ever since he had "braked with his face" last time, even with Yu Xiaogang's thick skin, he had still suffered quite a lot of injuries.
Although later Flender had invited Jiangzhu to help treat Yu Xiaogang, and with a soul master's abilities his face had indeed been healed…
…the psychological trauma Yu Xiaogang suffered was something he would never forget in his lifetime.
It was like stabbing a knife straight into his fragile heart — and then twisting it.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was woken by that special phantom pain. His sensitive inferiority complex flared up, and he dreamed again of that night, only to be awakened by the illusory pain.
The moment he thought of the humiliation he had suffered, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but grind his teeth.
He wanted revenge. He had to have revenge.
Yu Tianheng, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect — and Xiao Lin and Tang San as well.
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, thinking viciously.
But with his own level, how could he possibly achieve revenge?
So Yu Xiaogang thought of external forces.
Since he couldn't take revenge himself, he would borrow the power of others.
Yu Tianheng and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect — you'll be the first ones I carve up.
Soon Yu Xiaogang began recalling some of the old books of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Right — hadn't Lin Dong published a paper before about medicinal baths enhancing physical fitness?
Then I'll secretly modify the effects of that medicinal bath.
The direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect use a special medicinal bath to strengthen a soul master's innate soul power.
Although the effect of this medicinal bath would be tampered with by Yu Xiaogang, part of it was actually real.
Based on what he had once heard from Yu Yuanzhen and his own study of Lin Dong's paper, Yu Xiaogang had already confirmed one thing:
That the stronger a soul master's physical body is, the stronger the martial soul will be upon awakening.
And even if it's fake — who can prove in reverse that I'm wrong?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang immediately revealed a sinister smile.
The plan to "praise-kill" the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was decided.
He would write an article and publish it in the Martial Soul News.
The title would be:
"Shocking! The Relationship Between a Soul Master's Physical Fitness and Innate Soul Power."
Yu Xiaogang acted immediately, taking out paper and pen and starting to write.
For the sake of revenge, he even used the sensationalist "shocking-style" writing he used to disdain.
As everyone knows, Lin Dong once said that a soul master's physical strength affects the maximum age limit of soul rings — and today I will publish a new viewpoint…
…
As he wrote, Yu Xiaogang realized he couldn't actually prove his arguments.
So he began fabricating data.
Whether it was true or false didn't matter — as long as people believed it was true, then it was true.
But Yu Xiaogang's ability was limited. Soon he couldn't continue writing.
He looked at the draft — only about 800 words.
That made him extremely uncomfortable. Without enough evidence, even faking data was hard.
No, this won't do.
Soon, out of hatred, he thought of Xiao Lin and the others — and his eyes lit up.
Aren't Xiao Lin and the others innately full soul power?
How could a tiny Holy Soul Village produce two people with innate full soul power?
And that girl named Xiao Wu — a trash martial soul, Soft Bone Rabbit, yet she also has such strength.
She must also be innately full soul power.
Maybe I can include them as examples too.
Then everyone will think Lin Dong has a way to give people innate full soul power.
After all, who would believe that a place like Notting City could produce three innately full soul power talents?
No — four.
That Golden Dragon martial soul girl is also innately full soul power. She must be.
Yu Xiaogang once again revealed a sinister smile.
After adding those four examples, everyone would be forced to suspect that Lin Dong had a method to make people innately full soul power.
This was an open conspiracy — a阳谋.
Yu Xiaogang grew excited and wrote furiously again.
After another 300 words, he ran out of usable vocabulary and couldn't continue.
Also, even though he wrote that Lin Dong had such a method, no one even knew where Lin Dong was.
That was a problem.
He wanted to conveniently eliminate Lin Dong too — the one who had stolen his "Master" title.
Since Lin Dong was already included, it was already a situation of no retreat.
So Yu Xiaogang added fuel to the fire.
He wrote that Lin Dong was a degenerate who constantly conducted human experiments, which was why he knew so much about soul masters.
Otherwise, how could someone who knew so much have absolutely no traceable background?
After all, there were only a few places on the continent with such large collections of books.
While Yu Xiaogang was writing his dark revenge article…
Elsewhere, deep in the Star Dou Great Forest.
In a place without other soul beasts, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor martial soul awakened successfully.
This awakening took him a full day.
Because he absorbed a life-energy-rich soul ring from the start, Tang San's talent far surpassed his original self in the original timeline.
So the awakening took longer.
Slowly, Tang San opened his eyes.
After awakening the Blue Silver Emperor, his body contained even more vitality. His long blue-silver hair fluttered behind him, and he looked even more handsome.
"Xiao San, you're awake?"
Tang Hao, who had guarded him the entire day, spoke with bloodshot eyes.
"Dad, I feel incredibly good now. I've never felt so wonderful before."
Tang San smiled, then hurriedly said,
"Dad, you rest. I'll heal you right away."
"No need for now. Tell me about your progress first."
Tang Hao shook his head, his eyes fixed on Tang San.
He only wanted to hear news that could revive A Yin.
"Okay, Dad. My soul power level has reached level 52 — I'm already a Soul King."
"And my martial soul has successfully awakened into the Blue Silver Emperor. I absorbed massive life energy and condensed a soul ring of nearly fifty thousand years."
This awakening boosted his level rapidly, but after breaking through he only formed a single 50,000-year ring, and only gained two more levels afterward.
But Tang San already knew from the Blue Silver King that this ring would continue to grow in age as his strength increased.
So he was satisfied.
"This soul ring's ability is called 'Spring Breeze Brings Life Again.' It can instantly fill people with vitality… I can't really describe it."
"The stronger my life force is, the stronger this skill becomes."
Tang San couldn't fully describe it. He had simply followed Xiao Lin's advice and continued choosing life-based abilities.
But because his goal was to save his mother, this ability had clearly developed in the direction of revival.
In a sense, it could be called a resurrection-type ability.
As long as someone wasn't instantly dead, he could preserve their life and then find a way to revive them.
As Xiao Lin put it: as long as the brain isn't dead, it can be healed.
For plants, it was true resurrection.
He could even test Xiao Lin's idea of faking death to trick out a soul bone.
By fusing a soul bone to strengthen Spring Breeze Brings Life Again, he would definitely be able to save his mother.
