Chapter 33: Martial Soul Growth Attribute
Under such pressure, Yu Xiaogang did not want to provoke Mo Bai.
The point of conflict between him and Mo Bai had always been about Martial Soul theory, and now that the matter had been clarified and explained, it could be considered a resolution of their grievances.
Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang spoke up:
"If you want to use this to humiliate me, there is no need. According to my recent investigation, even if your Martial Soul is an ontological martial soul, the kind that can evolve, in thousands of years, fewer than 10 people have naturally evolved successfully. This kind of evolution is generally recorded as a secondary Awakening.
Compared to before, you have clearly already experienced a secondary Awakening. I admit that I underestimated your potential in this regard, but in the future, you will at most only be able to maintain the posture of Innate full soul power."
"Now count it as you winning, okay?"
"You admit that I am Innate full soul power?"
Mo Bai wore a playful smile.
"Admitted it, so what?" Yu Xiaogang said with a calm expression.
"Then you also believe my Martial Soul can evolve."
"So what?" Yu Xiaogang did not argue.
If it were only Innate full soul power, it would be far inferior to Little San's Twin Martial Souls. Yu Xiaogang thought with some pride in his heart, but he dared not say these words out loud.
However, the System's voice echoed in Mo Bai's mind:
[Ding! Yu Xiaogang believes your lie—that the ontological martial soul can evolve—to be true. Trust level 100%, manifestation level 20%. Successfully manifested the Martial Soul Growth Attribute!]
Today, Yu Xiaogang was unusually cooperative, or should one say, compromising? He was playing it safe, wanting to leave quickly.
He had no choice but to compromise; all three of his guards were there.
Not to mention any one of them individually, Mo Bai was now confident he could defeat Yu Xiaogang alone.
It was a smart person's approach. Perhaps in the future, Yu Xiaogang would think about coming back for revenge, but that would be in the future.
Now that the first objective was complete, he would begin the second: showcasing Ah Yin's strength to refresh Yu Xiaogang's perception.
Even if Yu Xiaogang's manifestation level was not high, Little San, being influenced by him, would certainly come into contact with this understanding.
The whole thing started because of this Yu Xiaogang, which was how Little San learned about his "Family". Now, it was the same principle.
"Ah Yin."
Mo Bai called out softly.
Ah Yin unfolded her Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul behind Mo Bai and condensed her Soul Power. A drop of crystalline blue liquid shot out from the Blue Silver Emperor leaf and landed precisely on Yu Xiaogang's face, visibly merging into his skin.
Yu Xiaogang originally wanted to raise his hand to stop it, but he was stunned in place by the six Soul Rings rising beside Ah Yin.
Level 60 Soul Emperor! And a support system Soul Master?
How could a guard of this caliber be possible?!
At this moment, the blue liquid that touched his skin began to take effect. Yu Xiaogang felt warm all over, with a sensation of having become 10 years younger.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Yu Xiaogang asked, frowning.
He didn't think the other party was helping him treat his injuries; there was clearly another purpose.
"While recovering, you'll be getting beaten; outsiders won't be able to tell anything is amiss. It's best you watch your mouth in the future."
Mo Bai left these words and turned to leave.
However, one person remained in the room.
Shadow One, with cold eyes.
Recalling Mo Bai's words, Yu Xiaogang's expression became even uglier.
...
Back in the dormitory, Mo Bai vaguely felt his eyes itching and swelling. Clearly, the Growth Attribute had already begun to take effect.
As for what level it would grow to, that was another matter that would take time to grind out.
Xiao Wu was still in her "studying rabbit" form, working hard to complete the resurrection prayer ritual.
Until the evening, when Shadow One returned, and Little San also came to Yu Xiaogang's room to continue studying the day's content.
However, he did not see Yu Xiaogang, who usually waited for him. Instead, he unexpectedly saw the Spirit Hall dossier that Yu Xiaogang had not yet had time to put away.
It clearly recorded the special nature of the ontological martial soul, so the matter of Awakening was naturally clear at a glance.
Little San immediately understood, his eyes lighting up.
So that's how it was with Brother Mo Bai's Martial Soul. No wonder the light in his eyes sometimes changed. And did this mean Brother Mo Bai's Martial Soul might be even more powerful than he imagined?
If it was calculated from the initial Innate full soul power, after the secondary Awakening, it must surely exceed the Cultivation speed of Innate full soul power. One could only say, as expected of a Young Lord from a big Family!
In this way, it was on par with his Twin Martial Souls, though his own combat power was still superior.
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening came.
Little San turned his head and looked with surprise at Yu Xiaogang, who walked into the room with an ugly expression.
Seeing Little San flipping through the dossier, Yu Xiaogang's expression froze slightly, then he forced a smile: "Little San, you're here."
"Teacher." Little San quickly bowed.
Looking at such sensible Little San, Yu Xiaogang found that he could not hide the anger in his heart today, and couldn't help asking: "Little San, do you know where Mo Bai went today?"
"I do." Little San nodded, "Brother Mo Bai has always kept the same routine: class in the morning, and training at the academy in the afternoon. People in the academy can all testify to this."
"Is that so?" Yu Xiaogang's smile froze, and his fist, hidden in his robe, couldn't help but clench, then relax.
Most people in the academy had already been bought by Mo Bai; even if he said it out loud, there was no evidence. That woman's actions were crisp and clean, and she had also left no traces behind.
Saying it out loud like this: first, he couldn't guarantee whether Little San would tell Mo Bai, and second, perhaps someone was still monitoring him.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang swallowed all his words against Mo Bai. He touched the head of the naive Little San in front of him and offered a bitter smile: "Let's continue studying, Little San."
"I'm relying on you for the future."
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Since that day Mo Bai taught Yu Xiaogang a lesson, Yu Xiaogang had clearly restrained his thoughts of slandering him, and everything returned to normal, but not saying anything didn't mean he wasn't doing anything.
Yu Xiaogang had the idea of fleeing Notting City.
However, he had only hinted at it to Little San a few times, without saying it directly. And when he mentioned it to Little San, Little San expressed that he didn't want to leave.
On one hand, he felt he hadn't learned enough knowledge; on the other hand, there were like-minded people like Mo Bai and Xiao Wu. The teacher had told him that on the continent, partners were also an important resource, and Mo Bai and Xiao Wu were the partners he recognized.
Hearing Little San's words, Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened, and he was silent for a long time. Considering that things had not been peaceful since Notting Academy, once an idea formed, it would slowly fester in his heart.
But he was just a teacher and couldn't make any subjective decisions. Even if he wanted to take Little San away, he had to seek Tang Hao's opinion.
But in the last few times he had deliberately shown anxiety in front of Little San, Tang Hao had not appeared.
It made him doubt life.
Could it be that Tang Hao was just letting him get beaten like this? Did he really accept Mo Bai and Xiao Wu as Little San's partners?
After reaching this conclusion, Yu Xiaogang looked up at the night sky and sighed long. While praying for the goddess's mercy, he obediently kept a low profile within the academy.
"Hmph..." Mo Bai, who had witnessed all of this, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and stopped paying attention to the waste that was Yu Xiaogang.
"Young Lord, something has happened."
