Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 96 Gangzi: I will destroy the Spirit Hall at all costs.
"A fire-attribute soul master absorbing an ice-attribute soul ring?"

After hearing Yu Xiaogang's explanation, Bibi Dong was stunned and remained speechless for a long time.

Does this guy not even know the most basic common sense?
No, Xiao Gang is always very knowledgeable and must know these common sense things. He must have had to take an unconventional approach for the sake of his disciple.

After some internal conjecture, Bibi Dong parted her red lips slightly and said calmly, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be an attribute conflict that has damaged the origin of the martial soul. Using special herbs to treat it might be able to make up for it."

"Special herbs?"

"Good, fire attribute is best."

"Fire-attribute herbs".

Yu Xiaogang looked troubled. With his abilities, it was almost impossible for him to find such a treasure, and even if he happened to find it, he simply couldn't afford it.

If it were a lightning-attribute herb, he might be able to ask his father for help, but he had absolutely no clue about fire-attribute herbs.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong offered, "I can help you with the herbs, but I have one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Yu Xiaogang asked hurriedly.

"If you're willing to join the Spirit Hall, I can help you solve this problem."

Bibi Dong's eyes gleamed. As long as she could keep Xiao Gang by her side, she would give anything, not just a single herb, but even a hundred.

Upon hearing this request, Yu Xiaogang's pupils dilated, and his face showed unprecedented resistance. He resolutely said, "I swore that I would never join the Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes, and she threatened, "If you are unwilling to join, I will send someone to kill your disciple."

"what?"

Yu Xiaogang's body trembled violently. He stared at Bibi Dong in disbelief, his eyes blazing with fury. He said with a ferocious expression, "Bibi Dong, you better listen to me clearly."

"If anything happens to my disciple, I will destroy the Spirit Hall at all costs!"

Faced with these almost roaring words, Bibi Dong was stunned. If he had been so determined back then, how could he have become the way he is now?

Perhaps in his heart, his disciples were the most important.

After a long silence, Bibi Dong calmed down a bit and said indifferently, "Yu Xiaogang, I've given you the opportunity. The choice is yours."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang also calmed down his anger.

He valued Ma Hongjun so much for two reasons: first, Ma Hongjun was crucial to proving his theory of martial spirits; second, Ma Hongjun had already paid a heavy price, and he absolutely could not give up halfway.

Upon closer reflection, I realized that I was willing to break my vow in order to prove that I wasn't a failure.

If Ma Hongjun joins the Spirit Hall team, it will be much easier to defeat Tang San's Royal Fighting team.

Thinking of this, he was no longer as resolute as before, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes. He said, "I need to think about it some more. You should prepare the fire-attribute herbs first."

"Okay." Bibi Dong suppressed her emotions and said calmly.

Next, after Yu Xiaogang left, Bibi Dong let Chrysanthemum Douluo from outside the hall in.

"Your Holiness the Pope," Chrysanthemum Douluo said respectfully.

Bibi Dong glanced at him briefly before getting straight to the point: "Yue Guan, I've heard you like to grow flowers and plants. Do you have any herbs that are useful for fire-attribute soul masters?"

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo was stunned.

He was just outside the hall, so he naturally heard their conversation.

These fire-attribute herbs were exactly what Yu Xiaogang needed. In order to win over such a good-for-nothing, they actually dared to covet his precious herbs.

In this light, His Holiness the Pope was stingy with them, but so generous to Yu Xiaogang, even giving him his precious medicinal herbs.

It's absolutely chilling.

However, faced with the authority of His Holiness the Pope, he dared not evade or refuse, and could only reply, "Your Holiness, I do indeed possess a fire-attribute herb, but I am unsure if it is suitable..."

"Whether it's suitable or not, you must hand it over to me first," Bibi Dong said firmly. Although Ju Douluo felt bitter inside, he could only nod in agreement.

On the other side, Ning Fengzhi received a message from Ning Rongrong's bodyguard and immediately took Sword Douluo to Shrek Academy.

At this moment, Dai Mubai and Oscar were walking side by side on campus.

After returning from the far north, the two began to subtly distance themselves from Ma Hongjun, as the mere thought of that scene made them feel physically uncomfortable.

However, Dean Flander specifically instructed them not to talk about it to outsiders.

"Little Ao, do you think there's any hope for Fatty?"

Dai Mubai felt a belated sense of guilt towards Ma Hongjun, after all, he was the one who had dragged Fatty down in the last Great Soul Arena, and he was the one who caused most of Fatty's injuries.

The fat guy is in a really bad situation now. Not only did he suffer such a disgusting thing, but his martial soul was also mostly destroyed, turning from a power attack type to an agility attack type.

Moreover, he is a pure agility-based Soul Master, since he currently has almost no offensive capabilities.

"I don't know either, but ever since the Grandmaster came to Shrek Academy, we haven't had any good luck," Oscar said with a hint of resentment.

It was common knowledge that he was pursuing Ning Rongrong, yet Yu Xiaogang actually wanted Ning Rongrong to relieve the fat man's lust.

If he were a power-attack type Soul Master, he would definitely beat Yu Xiaogang up. But Yu Xiaogang is a food-type Soul Master, with almost no offensive power.

Looking back now, he missed an opportunity to win people's favor.

"What kind of bullshit master is he? If it weren't for Dean Flander backing him up, I would have crippled him long ago."

A sinister glint flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes as he wanted to vent all the pent-up resentment in his heart on Yu Xiaogang.

Oscar sighed. Ever since Zhu Zhuqing left, Boss Dai had become increasingly irritable, spending his days either flirting with girls or throwing tantrums.

If things continue like this, let alone participating in the Soul Master Competition, even forming a team will be a problem.

Just then, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo flew over from a distance on their swords and landed on an open space not far away.

Before long, Flander, Liu Erlong, and others came out to greet them.

"Sect Master Ning, Your Excellency Sword Douluo, what brings you two here?" Flander bowed slightly and asked.

Ning Fengzhi abandoned his usual gentle demeanor and quickly scanned Flander and the others with his gaze.

Seeing this, Flander felt uneasy. Could it be that they came here to cause trouble?

Ning Fengzhi showed no interest in formalities and directly asked, "Dean Flander, where is Yu Xiaogang now?"

"Sect Leader Ning, Xiao Gang has already gone to the Papal Palace and may not return until tomorrow."

Flander felt a surge of relief. Luckily, Yu Xiaogang had gone to the Papal Palace; otherwise, he would have been caught red-handed by Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

Upon hearing this answer, Sword Douluo's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "If Yu Xiaogang isn't here, then where is Ma Hongjun?"

According to the letter, Yu Xiaogang asked Ning Rongrong to relieve Ma Hongjun's anger. Although it didn't actually happen, it still infuriated Sword Douluo.

Ning Rongrong was the apple of their eye, and they were afraid of hurting her. Yet Yu Xiaogang dared to treat her like a prostitute.

Faced with the intimidation of Sword Douluo, Flander felt his heart pounding.

If it were anyone else, he might have handed it over directly, but as Ma Hongjun was his former disciple, he really didn't want to give it up.

Just as he was struggling with this dilemma, Ma Hongjun stepped forward.

"Sword Douluo, I am Ma Hongjun."

Ma Hongjun was completely unaware of the incident involving the leaked fire, and Flander and the others dared not utter a single word about it, for fear of exposing that embarrassing incident.

Once exposed, it would not only damage Shrek Academy's reputation, but also leave Ma Hongjun with a psychological trauma he would never forget.
