Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is a Simulator

Chapter 170 Yu Xiaogang in Despair

hum-

The soul power churning on the corpse of the human-faced demon spider quickly converged on Yu Xiaogang, who had killed it.

"ah--"

Yu Xiaogang, who had been subjected to the soul power, immediately screamed in agony.

"Xiaogang, what's wrong?"

Upon seeing this, Flander immediately became worried.

"No...it's nothing..."

"It's an external soul bone! I've obtained an external soul bone..."

Despite the pain in his back, Yu Xiaogang spoke with great excitement.

Upon noticing the commotion behind him, he knew it was an external soul bone, and he was incredibly excited.

After more than three years, he finally managed to get a piece of external soul bone.

"real?"

Flanders was also extremely excited upon hearing this.

However, at this moment, Yu Xiaogang was already fully resisting the pain brought by the external soul bone and did not respond to Flander.

Flanders could only watch from the sidelines.

Pfft~ Pfft~

When Flander saw the spider spears extending from Yu Xiaogang's back, he knew that Yu Xiaogang had indeed obtained an external soul bone.

"It's the spider spear of the Human-Faced Demon Spider!"

Upon seeing the external soul bone on Yu Xiaogang's back, Flander knew what kind of external soul bone Yu Xiaogang had obtained.

"After all this time, we finally succeeded!"

"Now, let's see if it can verify Xiaogang's conjecture!"

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang had successfully obtained the external soul bone, Flander was also happy for Yu Xiaogang.

After so long, constantly torturing and killing soul beasts, he was starting to lose his patience.

Constantly torturing and killing soul beasts is also a form of torture for a soul master's mental state; he even felt that his own mind was slowly becoming a bit abnormal.

It was the constant discovery of soul bones that made him a fortune, which gave him the interest and perseverance to keep going.

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, simply persevered because of his obsession with breaking through his own talent.

Flander now only hopes that Yu Xiaogang's conjecture will be successful, otherwise he cannot imagine how much of a blow this would be to Yu Xiaogang.

"Once Xiaogang succeeds, I should go back and reopen Shrek Academy!"

As Flander watched Yu Xiaogang continue absorbing his external soul bone, his thoughts turned to his Shrek Academy.

He had no choice but to disband Shrek Academy in the first place.

Because he was poor and had few resources.

But things are different now. By working with Yu Xiaogang, he has acquired a large number of soul bones, and by selling them, he can obtain a lot of resources.

Therefore, Flander is now very confident that he can reopen Shrek Academy.

His dream has always been to establish an academy that will make him famous throughout the world!

Click~ Click~

While Flander was thinking about reopening Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang also completed the absorption of the external soul bone.

The eight spider spears behind Yu Xiaogang surged and pulsated, eventually coalescing into a complete eight-spider spear behind him.

"Xiaogang, how's it going?"

Upon seeing that Yu Xiaogang had completed the absorption of the external soul bone, Flander immediately asked Yu Xiaogang a question.

The question, of course, was whether Yu Xiaogang could break through the limitations of his own talent by using an external soul bone.

"..."

When faced with Flander's question, Yu Xiaogang's eyes were glazed over, and his expression was extremely dejected.

"this……"

Flander understood immediately upon seeing Yu Xiaogang's expression.

"impossible……"

"Impossible, my guess couldn't be wrong..."

"Something must be wrong, something must be wrong..."

"..."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was deeply in despair and doubt, muttering to himself as if trying to find the problem and unwilling to accept reality.

He truly couldn't accept that the hope he had pursued for so long had turned into despair.

Even after absorbing the external soul bone, the evolutionary attributes that the external soul bone itself brought could not help him break through the limitations of his own talent.

His soul power level was still stuck at level 29, completely unmoved!

"Xiao Gang!"

Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang's appearance, Flander immediately shouted, trying to wake Yu Xiaogang up.

"impossible……"

"Impossible..."

"..."

However, Yu Xiaogang did not listen to Flander's words at all and fell into self-doubt.

Flander could tell at a glance that things were not going well; if things continued like this, Yu Xiaogang might go crazy.

Snapped--

Without any hesitation, Flander immediately slapped Yu Xiaogang hard across the face.

"Xiaogang, wake up!"

Flander slapped Yu Xiaogang while trying to wake him up.

Even after being slapped hard by Flander, Yu Xiaogang didn't seem to wake up.

Snapped--

Seeing that this wasn't working, Flander immediately slapped him again.

"Xiaogang, wake up!"

Snapped--

"Xiaogang, wake up!"

Snapped--

"Xiaogang, wake up!"

Snapped--

……

"Stop...stop hitting me..."

After Flander slapped Yu Xiaogang more than a dozen times, Yu Xiaogang was finally woken up by Flander.

Touching his swollen cheeks, Yu Xiaogang felt like crying.

Looking at Flander, he couldn't blame him.

I felt so wronged!

"Great, Xiaogang, you're finally awake!"

When Flander saw that Yu Xiaogang had regained consciousness, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Um...I...thank you for waking me up..." Yu Xiaogang said gratefully to Flander with a helpless expression.

He also knew that if Flander hadn't snapped him out of it, he might have really gone mad.

The blow from reality was too great for him. He never expected that the hope he had been waiting for for so long would turn into despair.

If he could, he would rather he really go crazy.

Otherwise, what's the point of his life?

He's already been woken up, but he can't bring himself to commit suicide.

Reason told him that was foolish!

He absolutely refused to admit that he was a stupid person!

"It's what I should do!"

Flander waved his hand, then looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked, "Xiaogang, did your guess really fail?"

"..." Faced with Flander's question, Yu Xiaogang, though reluctant to answer, nodded bitterly: "That's right, we failed!"

"So what are your plans for the future?" Seeing that Yu Xiaogang had confirmed it, Flander didn't ask any more questions and quickly changed the subject.

"What...what other plans could I possibly have?"

"Now, I don't even know what purpose I have left in living!"

Faced with Flander's words, Yu Xiaogang gave a bitter, self-deprecating smile. He really hadn't thought about what to do after experiencing this.

He always believed that his conjecture this time could be successful.

"How could it be useless? Xiao Gang, your wisdom is something I can only dream of!"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's self-deprecating words, Flander immediately became displeased and quickly said something.

"Well then, since Xiaogang, you have no other ideas, come and help me!"

"I'm going to reopen my Shrek Academy!"

"We've acquired so many soul bones these past few days. After selling them, we can buy a large amount of resources, and my Shrek Academy will no longer fear competition!"

"Xiaogang, your intelligence shouldn't be wasted. Come and help me!"

Immediately afterwards, Flander extended a sincere invitation to Yu Xiaogang.

Upon hearing Flander's invitation, Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, then finally nodded slightly: "Alright, since you still think highly of me, I'll help you rebuild Shrek Academy!"

Faced with Flanders' invitation, Yu Xiaogang really couldn't find a reason to refuse this time.

To help him, Flander disbanded Shrek Academy and helped him for more than three years.

Now that all hope has been shattered, he doesn't know what to do. Perhaps helping Flander rebuild Shrek Academy is a good option.

"Haha, great!"

"With your help, Xiaogang, I'm even more confident this time!"

Upon hearing that Yu Xiaogang had agreed, Flander burst into laughter.

He really values ​​Yu Xiaogang.

"Um!"

Feeling Flander's high regard for him, Yu Xiaogang was deeply moved. Even when he himself doubted himself, there was still someone who trusted him so much.

"Before rebuilding Shrek Academy, let's go back and see Erlong first!"

"She's been concerned about you all these years, and now that the results are in, you should tell her no matter what!"

Flander excitedly patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder and then said.

"……good!"

Although he was a little reluctant to let Liu Erlong know that he had failed, Flander's words did make sense, so Yu Xiaogang nodded in agreement.

"Haha, let's hurry back then!"

"It's been so long since I've seen Guo'er. I wonder how she's doing now!"

Upon hearing this, Flanders laughed heartily and began to miss Guo'er.

"Guo'er..."

Upon hearing "Guo'er," Yu Xiaogang also revealed a slight smile. They all liked Liu Erlong's daughter very much.

……

A few days later, Yu Xiaogang and Flander arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy.

"Uncle, Uncle Flanders!"

Guo'er recognized Yu Xiaogang and Flander immediately after seeing them.

The "Golden Trio" are just partners; they don't have any sworn brother or sister relationship. That's why Liu Erlong had Guo'er call Flander "Uncle."

"Haha, Guo'er, long time no see!"

"Have you missed me?"

When Flander saw that Guor recognized him, he was overjoyed.

Yu Xiaogang simply smiled and called out "Guo'er".

"Cousin, Flander, what brings you here?"

Liu Erlong smiled when he saw the two of them.

After thinking about it, it seems like it's been a long time since I've seen the two of them!

"How's it going? Have you hunted down any external spirit bones?"

Liu Erlong was a straightforward woman; if she wanted to know something, she would ask Yu Xiaogang directly.

Upon hearing Liu Erlong's words, Yu Xiaogang, who had been smiling, froze instantly!

"Not yet? Then let's take our time!"

Seeing this, Liu Erlong misunderstood, thinking that Yu Xiaogang had not yet obtained the external soul bone, and comforted him.

"No, I've already obtained an external soul bone; it's just that my guess failed!"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head bitterly and confessed to Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong had helped him a lot with his external soul bone, so no matter what, he needed to tell Liu Erlong about it.

"What? It failed?"

Only then did Liu Erlong realize that Yu Xiaogang had already hunted down an external soul bone, but his guess had failed.

In this way, Yu Xiaogang would be unable to break through the limitations of his own talent?

"That……"

Thinking of this, Liu Erlong was at a loss for words to comfort Yu Xiaogang!

"call--"

"Erlong, don't worry, I'm fine. After this failure, it's time for me to let go completely!"

"Afterwards, I will work with Flander to help him rebuild Shrek Academy!"

Seeing Liu Erlong's expression, Yu Xiaogang comforted her, telling her not to worry too much.

At the same time, he also mentioned his future plans.

"Well, that's fine then, Flander. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know!"

Liu Erlong nodded, then looked at Flander and said.

"certainly!"

Flander readily agreed, then asked Liu Erlong, "Where's Guo'er's father? Hasn't he come back yet?"

He remembered that the last time he saw Muge was four years ago.

"not yet!"

Upon hearing Li Bai's name, Liu Erlong's face instantly turned cold.

"Not yet? Given Brother Li Bai's strength, even the Killing Spree shouldn't be able to trap him!"

Hearing that Muge had not yet returned, Flander was somewhat surprised and could only offer words of comfort.

"Dad has always been on Poseidon Island!"

At this moment, someone who was standing nearby heard Flander talking about his father and immediately spoke up.

"Poseidon Island?"

"Guo'er, how did you know your father was on Poseidon Island?"

Has your father come back yet?

When Flander suddenly heard Guo'er talking about her father, and that she seemed to have met him, he was immediately surprised and looked at Liu Erlong again.

"That's right, Guo'er did see her father, but not in person. She saw him in her dream..."

"This isn't the place to talk, let's go inside!"

Upon seeing Flander looking over, Liu Erlong first gave a brief explanation, and then led Flander and Yu Xiaogang into the Dean's courtyard before beginning to talk about Mu Ge.

Through her daughter, she also learned about Muge's current situation.

They're no longer in the Killing City; they've moved to Poseidon Island.

At the same time, she also revealed that Muge could bring Guo'er into her dream through the power of bloodline.

"That bastard, he had other women on the side!"

"I'm so angry! He better never come back, or I'll make him pay!"

Liu Erlong did not hide the fact that Mu Ge had other women and daughters, and told him everything.

Ever since learning the truth, Liu Erlong had been filled with intense anger and resentment, which she had been unable to express to anyone. Now, in front of Yu Xiaogang and Flander, she vented it all out.

"That bastard Li Bai! I treated him like a brother, and he actually did something like this!"

"Don't worry, Erlong, when he gets back, I'll definitely help you teach him a lesson!"

After receiving this information from Liu Erlong, Flander immediately declared that he was on Liu Erlong's side.

He was genuinely angry. He considered Liu Erlong his goddess, but she ended up being treated as a mistress by someone else.

How could he not be angry?

So much so that he didn't pay much attention to what Liu Erlong said about Mu Ge obtaining the Sea God's inheritance assessment.

"He actually passed the Sea God's inheritance test!"

Unlike Flanders, Yu Xiaogang was more deeply moved by the pastoral adventures.
