Inside a side hall.
"Brother Lu, no one will disturb us here. You can state your conditions now," Qian Renxue said indifferently.
Lu Feng's eyes straightened, and he cupped his hands. "Your Highness, are you familiar with Spirit Hall's Saintess Hu Liena?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.
Her eyes rolled, eyes curved. "Brother Lu, could it be you have your eyes on that little fox and want to bring the beauty home? Hahaha, rest assured, leave this matter to me."
Lu Feng snorted coldly, unable to resist rolling his eyes.
Qian Renxue's tone carried a bit of teasing, but Lu Feng acutely sensed that if he agreed to her condition, she would definitely change her face.
Heh, women!
"Ahem, back then, Hu Liena passed the test of the Capital of Slaughter and killed a Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent. What I want is that serpent's inner alchemy," Lu Feng said righteously.
"What is an inner alchemy?" Qian Renxue asked doubtfully.
"The Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent is an ancient exotic beast. Killing it won't drop a soul ring, but an inner alchemy. This alchemy gathers most of the exotic beast's energy during its lifetime and is very helpful for cultivation."
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Qian Renxue's eyes lit up instantly.
Immediately, she nodded heavily and said, "Brother Lu, leave this matter to me, provided that this inner alchemy has not been used by Hu Liena."
"Okay, many thanks to Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Brother Lu, there is no need to be so polite between you and me. For today's battle, I still have to thank you for your help."
"Mhm. Okay, Xiao Xue."
Night.
Shrek Academy.
In the office, everyone gathered together, the air filled with a strong smell of medicinal soup.
No choice; everyone present, except Ma Hongjun, was injured.
"Teacher, what should we do next? Do we really have to leave Heaven Dou City?" Ma Hongjun said somewhat reluctantly.
Accustomed to the prosperity of Heaven Dou City, making him return to that small mountain village in Soto City, Ma Hongjun felt it was worse than killing him.
"Ai." Flender sighed deeply.
His face was haggard and withered, completely opposite to the high-spirited look a few days ago.
"One careless move, and the whole game is lost. I have dismissed several teachers. Hongjun, you have also grown up. If you want to venture out on your own, then go," Flender sighed.
Although Xue Qinghe hadn't liquidated Shrek Academy now, Flender had mingled in the Soul Master world for many years and naturally knew that the timing was just not right.
Once he ascended the throne, Shrek Academy would immediately face stormy retaliation.
For the old brothers who had followed him for many years, Flender gave them travel expenses after returning to the academy, and everyone went their separate ways.
He had been stingy for so many years; this was the first time he was so generous.
"Teacher, I can't swallow this."
Ma Hongjun clenched his fists and said indignantly, "I want to go out and train for a period of time to improve my strength. I must avenge Shrek Academy."
Although reluctant to leave the colorful world outside and unwilling to return to Soto City with Flender, Ma Hongjun still felt very reluctant to part with his teacher in his heart.
"Teacher, you rest well for a while. When I cultivate to Titled Douluo, I will come to pick you up." Ma Hongjun's round face flushed red as he said seriously.
"Good child." Flender looked at Ma Hongjun, tears welling up in his eyes instantly.
At this time, he looked at Yu Xiaogang beside him and asked with concern, "Xiaogang, what are your plans for the future? You and Erlong Sister..."
Yu Xiaogang's expression was somewhat tired. "Erlong and I plan to gather the disciples of the sect outside and then find a place to develop quietly."
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang sighed heavily. "Flender, I'm sorry. Back then, I insisted on dragging you into the throne struggle. I didn't expect Xue Beng to be so unbearable."
Flender patted his shoulder. "Xiaogang, don't say these words anymore. You and Erlong Sister must live well together in the future."
Saying this, a trace of sadness appeared in Flender's eyes.
Although he was calculating in business, emotionally, Flender felt he was a coward.
At this time, Yu Xiaogang looked at Ma Hongjun and said, "Hongjun, didn't you plan to go out and train? I thought of a place that might suit you."
Saying this, Yu Xiaogang's gaze turned to Tang San. Looking at the silent disciple, Yu Xiaogang's heart felt a stab of pain instantly.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I plan to let you go out with Little San. In the future, you two brothers can also look after each other."
Tang San raised his head and asked doubtfully, "Teacher, what place are you talking about?"
After being nourished by the soul power of two Titled Douluo, Tang San's injury had stabilized.
The two Titled Douluo had returned to the sect, attempting to search for some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to make up for the defects brought by Tang San's severed arm.
Yu Xiaogang continued, "There is an island. Spirit Hall calls it Demon Island, but I know its real name, Sea God Island."
"Sea God Island?"
Tang San repeated this name, his eyes rolling. "Sea God? Could it be that like Spirit Hall, a deity once appeared there?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded. "Correct. The Soul Masters there call themselves children of the sea. Legend has it that the Sea God conquered all oceans and possessed endless divine power."
He paused and continued, "Most Soul Masters there are water attribute, with endless wonderful uses. I suspect people there even have methods for limb regeneration."
Yu Xiaogang's first half sentence was naturally true, but the purpose of the latter half was only to comfort Tang San.
Limb regeneration; even the number one healing Martial Soul in the world, Nine Heart Begonia, couldn't do this.
"What!"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Ma Hongjun jumped up immediately.
Limb regeneration, wouldn't that mean his little brother could also be saved?
These days, Ma Hongjun's evil fire hadn't flared up again, and he clearly felt his cultivation speed had increased significantly.
But having lost his little brother, even if he cultivated to Titled Douluo, what was the point?
At this time, Ma Hongjun put his arm around Tang San's shoulder. "Grandmaster, rest assured, I will take good care of Third Brother in the future."
"Hiss!"
Tang San grimaced in pain as Ma Hongjun touched his wound.
"Aiya, Third Brother, sorry sorry." Ma Hongjun chuckled naively.
Yu Xiaogang nodded and said seriously, "Sea God Island is undoubtedly full of various crises. But it is also filled with various opportunities."
"If you can successfully return from Sea God Island, then your strength will improve significantly in all aspects."
Seven days later.
Emperor Xue Ye was critically ill, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe succeeded to the throne.
This news swept across the entire continent like a storm.
However, when She Long and Ci Xue, the two Titled Douluo, came to Shrek Academy intending to liquidate, they found all Shrek high-level personnel had disappeared.
On the main road.
Yu Tianheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to a small tavern in front, and said, "Uncle, let's rest ahead."
"Okay." Yu Xiaogang nodded.
Subsequently, more than thirty members walked quickly towards the tavern.
These people were all surviving direct disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Back then, due to their respective affairs, they didn't stay in the sect and instead escaped a calamity.
Apart from Liu Erlong, the highest soul power present was Soul King-level Yu Tianheng.
The dignified number one Beast Martial Soul in the world, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, reduced to this state today, truly made people sigh endlessly.
There weren't many customers in the tavern. The moment Yu Xiaogang stepped into the gate, his pupils contracted suddenly, and he said in horror, "Lu Feng, why are you here!"
