Chapter 34: Yu Xiaogang's Heart-Wrenching Cry
This was getting interesting.
Everyone stood there for a moment, stunned, until a teacher suddenly shouted,
"Healing Soul Master, go after him!"
As a few teachers ran out, Yu Xiaogang's face went pale, and he immediately gave chase.
"No! Damn it. Flying so high… could it be that Tang San is in danger?"
"Please, not him!"
"If Tang San dies… forget about my reputation, I would be beaten to death by Tang Hao for sure."
"Tang San! Tang San, you absolutely cannot be harmed!"
Yu Xiaogang ran, tears streaming, panic-stricken.
He was crying out of sheer heartbreak.
Yes, he worried for Tang San's safety—but more than that, he truly wanted to cry loudly at this moment!
Su Yan had completely crushed him.
From now on…
He could no longer survive at Nuoding Academy. Su Yan would become the benchmark student everyone aspired to emulate, while Yu Xiaogang would be the standard for measuring uselessness.
No.
Not just at Nuoding Academy—soon, this would spread across the entire continent. Everyone would know of a young man named Su Yan, a rare genius who had overcome the limitations of his innate soul power, while Yu Xiaogang became the ultimate symbol of failure.
Su Yan worked hard and surpassed the restrictions of his martial soul, becoming a prodigy who shattered the limits of low innate soul power.
And Yu Xiaogang… he was just the object of comparison, the epitome of mediocrity.
People would even pin his infamous line on him: "There are no waste martial souls, only waste soul masters."
Doesn't that perfectly align with his situation?
The more Yu Xiaogang thought, the deeper his despair grew. He cried in sorrow, in hopelessness, tears streaking his face like rain, his heart feeling torn apart.
He cried so hard that even Xiao Wu couldn't resist. Secretly, she took out a small jade mirror and snapped a photo of him from afar.
"Perfect."
"Sharing it with the group feels… oddly satisfying."

[Everyone: ???]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Did this bearded uncle's wife run off with someone?]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: No, but did he have to lose a few wives to cry this badly?]
[The Moon of My Childhood: Carrot Lover, did you hit him until he cried?]
[Group Member 9: He's crying so miserably… but why do I feel like laughing?]
[Cat in the Shadows: Same here. I think there's something wrong with my morals.]
[Hu Liena: Hahaha! Isn't Yu Xiaogang a useless guy? Wait… this isn't right. I remember Yu Xiaogang wasn't this kind of person. Why is he crying like a girl now?]
[Everyone: ???]
[I Am an Orphan: I really want to know… what exactly did it take to make Yu Xiaogang cry like this, Carrot Lover? Tell us!]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Oh my… is that really Yu Xiaogang?]
[Group Member 9: Hahaha, now I can laugh.]
[Cat in the Shadows: Haha, me too! My conscience won't judge me—Yu Xiaogang is crying so ugly.]
At the Pope's Hall, Bibi Dong was momentarily stunned.
She looked at the photo Xiao Wu had sent, and her heart ached.
"Xiaogang… It was really him, the Xiaogang I think of day and night. But why was he crying so terribly?"
"Damn it! Which bastard bullied Xiaogang?"
[Bibi Dong: Tell me… where are you? Why is Xiaogang crying so badly? Who did this to him?]
Meanwhile, at Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong hadn't yet recovered from her own heartbreak—and now she felt even worse.
"Xiaogang… It's really Xiaogang!"
Yu Xiaogang was crying so heartbreakingly… who on earth was the bastard that bullied him so mercilessly?
[My Surname is Not Yu: Why… Why bully Xiaogang? Why would you do this to him?]
[Carrot Lover: Are you crazy? How should I know who Xiaogang is? I was just passing through Nuoding City on my way to Heaven Dou City today. There was a Soul Master competition at Nuoding Academy, so I stopped to watch for a bit and saw this guy.]
[Carrot Lover: Bibi Dong, do you want to know what happened? Send me a red envelope, and I'll go ask around and find out.]
Xiao Wu couldn't help but laugh at this point.
Heeheehee.
Anyway, today was the last day at Nuoding Academy. By tomorrow morning, she'd be gone, already back in Suo Tuo City.
Besides, she was just here to watch the spectacle—there was nothing to fear from her.
And, of course, a chance to pocket a couple of red envelopes. More money for her! Once Su Yan was broke, he'd surely come to Suo Tuo City looking for her.
What a clever little fox she was.
[Bibi Dong sent a red envelope to Carrot Lover.]
[My Surname is Not Yu sent a red envelope to Carrot Lover.]
Xiao Wu's heart leapt with joy. She quickly tapped to claim both envelopes.
Bibi Dong had sent 20,000 Gold Soul Coins.
And My Surname is Not Yu… only 2,000?
[Carrot Lover: Wait, what? My Surname is Not Yu. Why are you so stingy? Bibi Dong gave me twenty thousand, and you only gave two thousand?]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: My Surname is Not Yu, your strength isn't impressive either! My sister went to get information for you, and you only gave 2,000 Gold Soul Coins? Who do you think you're looking down on?]
[Hu Liena: That's really not generous.]
[I Am an Orphan: Go find out and report back what happened.]
Qian Renxue was too lazy to argue. She sent a red envelope of 20,000 Gold Soul Coins directly.
Xiao Wu was over the moon.
"Heaven. This chat group is just amazing."
[Carrot Lover: Sisters, wait for me—I'll go ask someone and find out what's going on.]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: This is fun, really fun.]
Su Yan frowned deeply, almost knitting his eyebrows into one.
"Damn it!
This stupid little rabbit… had even learned how to use a chat group to squeeze money?"
"It was infuriating!"
[Su Yan: What happened?]
[Su Yan: @Carrot Lover, where did you take that picture of Yu Xiaogang? How did he end up in such a pitiful state?]
[Su Yan: Crying this miserably… It makes it hard for me to keep mocking him. Alright, five minutes—let him calm down first. Once he stops crying, I'll explain.]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: You're so thoughtful!]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Su Yan, do you have any conscience? Xiaogang is crying so badly, and you only give him five minutes?]
[Su Yan: Fine, fifteen minutes—let him get his emotions together quickly. We can't keep our Chat Group Members waiting.]
[Bibi Dong: ???]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Hahaha! Su Yan, are you trying to make us die laughing?]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: I think the ones who need to calm down aren't Yu Xiaogang—it's Bibi Dong and My Surname is Not Yu.]
[Cat in the Shadows: Wrong. They're waiting for Carrot Lover to get the info.]
At this point, Xiao Wu wasn't pretending—she really ran over… just to watch the chaos.
Yu Xiaogang was crying uncontrollably, as if his father had just died.
"Tang San, Tang San, are you alright?"
Tang San lay on the ground, utterly despondent, his eyes devoid of any light.
"No. Tang San wasn't seriously injured. Physically, he was mostly fine—Su Yan hadn't really struck him. The damage had been to his mind."
"He had been blown away by the one person he despised the most—Su Yan."
"One strike."
"He had no idea what was happening and was sent flying so far… What kind of soul skill was this? Not even from the same dimension!"
