Tang San then tried challenging the second, third, fourth, and fifth copies.
As expected, he was defeated in seconds each time.
The ways he died might have differed, but the results were all equally miserable.
A Soul Ancestor against a Soul Elder, a top-tier Martial Soul against low-level ones, a complete set of soul skills against a bunch of useless abilities; there was no possibility of resistance.
That night, Tang San's world was dark, and his future looked bleak.
After each battle, he would burst into tears. He barely slept during the second half of the night.
Because whenever he closed his eyes, the strength of the first copy would appear in his mind.
That phrase, "You have chosen the path of death," was like a curse, making him feel as though he were being pierced by a thousand arrows every moment.
Nangong Lingyun was still a bit cunning.
If Tang San didn't even know how strong his Martial Soul originally was, or what potential it possessed, then the pain, regret, and anger caused by being tricked would be far less than expected.
Only by making him understand how precious what he had lost was could the pain reach its peak.
"Xiao San, what's wrong?"
The next morning, when the Shrek Seven Devils met in the cafeteria, Yu Xiao Gang was shocked the moment he saw Tang San. He immediately let out a scream.
He dropped the breakfast he had just gotten and rushed over to hug his disciple's head, showering him with concern.
Dai Mubai and the others hurried over to ask what was wrong, their faces showing obvious surprise or worry.
Oscar quickly made a Super Recovery Sausage and shoved it into Tang San's mouth without a word.
Even Tang Hao, who usually remained calm and collected in the shadows, looked extremely tense.
The sight of Tang San was simply too frightening.
His face was gaunt and pale, his eyes bloodshot and vacant, completely devoid of any vitality.
His eyelids were swollen, clearly from crying.
The confidence and composure he usually exuded had vanished, as if he had suffered a severe blow, leaving him listless.
Bing Qing Yujie instinctively started to brush them off, saying she was fine,
Seeing Yu Xiao Gang, Tang San's spirits lifted. He suddenly asked anxiously, "Teacher, if the soul ring doesn't match the Martial Soul's ability, will it slow down subsequent cultivation?"
Yu Xiao Gang was stunned. After pondering for a moment, he put his hands behind his back and raised his head, speaking eloquently, "Of course. Cultivation efficiency is closely related to the quality and strength of the Martial Soul, and the choice of soul rings greatly affects the Martial Soul's quality.
Generally speaking, only by attaching soul rings that match the main abilities and core development direction of the Martial Soul will normal development and evolution be achieved.
If the attributes are not suitable, the quality cannot be improved and may even decline.
Take the third soul ring as an example. After attaching the soul ring, the cultivation speed will instantly increase from the Soul Grand Master level to the corresponding Soul Elder level because of the Martial Soul's evolution.
However, if the degree of development is not as expected, although the Soul Master realm has been upgraded, the efficiency of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth is still that of a Soul Grand Master because the Martial Soul remains stagnant.
Xiao San, you are truly smart.
It seems, my Martial Soul's ten core competencies can be renamed eleven core competencies."
Yu Xiao Gang finished speaking and lowered his head slightly, looking at Tang San with a benevolent expression.
Two weeks prior, for reasons unknown, the relationship with his students had suddenly become distant again. Therefore, he was now eager to show off his knowledge, attempting to re-establish his authority in front of his students.
But what he hadn't expected was that,
As soon as he spoke, Bing Qing Yujie not only failed to react as she usually did, with excitement or admiration due to his profound knowledge, extensive experience, and sharp thinking.
Instead, she seemed to have been stimulated, and her already bloodshot eyes instantly turned crimson.
She clenched her teeth tightly, and her expression became incredibly ferocious.
That appearance was as if she was facing a mortal enemy who had killed her father, insulted her mother, stolen her wife, and cut off her financial prospects.
The intensity of her anger, hatred, and murderous intent was truly shocking.
"Ah~~"
Following that, a roar erupted, and a fist the size of a sandbag slammed heavily into Gang's chin.
"Ah, you old bastard! I swear, I will not rest until I've devoured you whole, sliced you into a thousand pieces, ground your body to dust, and then scattered your ashes!"
Tang San desperately wanted to maintain his image of respecting his teacher in front of others,
but he truly couldn't hold back any longer, not even for a single second.
He roared, but his hands didn't stop either.
Mimicking the powerful strength that Nangong Lingyun had cultivated for over six years,
with just one blow, he sent Yu Xiao Gang flying, slamming him sideways into the wall. A large mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth.
And one punch wasn't enough. Before the other party could even land, he activated Ghost Shadow Maze under his feet, pursuing him like a shadow.
Bang, bang, bang, a rain of fists slammed into every part of Yu Xiao Gang's body. With almost every punch, the poor forty-year-old man's bones would break, his muscles would be destroyed, his skin would rupture, and a huge, apple-sized swelling would appear.
In just two short seconds, his head was beyond repair.
Bruised and purple, blood gushed from the tattered wounds, completely soaking his clothes.
"Tang San, what are you doing?"
Flender and Zhao Wuji, along with the other teachers, rushed forward to stop him.
One stood in front of Yu Xiao Gang, while another grabbed Tang San's waist, pulling him far away.
Even from a distance of over ten meters, Tang San struggled in Zhao Wuji's arms, constantly throwing punches and kicks, even releasing his Martial Soul to attack.
He shouted, "Let me go! I won't be a man if I don't kill him today."
"I'm ruined! My Martial Soul is completely ruined."
"I considered you my teacher. Once a teacher, always a father. Yet, you've harmed me so badly. Do you know what I've missed out on?"
Roaring out these words, tears welled up in his eyes again.
The earth-shattering cries echoed throughout the entire cafeteria, reverberating off the ceiling and causing everyone nearby to freeze in place, unsure of what to do.
Even the onlookers, who were eager for gossip, took a good three or four seconds to process what they had heard before starting to murmur.
"He's crying so miserably. What on earth happened?"
"I know, I know. They're from that Shrek Academy that was all over the place two months ago. Tsk tsk tsk, to have a teacher like that… must be karma for some terrible deeds in a past life."
"From what I heard, his Martial Soul seems to have been ruined."
"Why doesn't anyone do something about this scam of an academy?"
"Three soul rings, and he looks only about ten. To have such talent, and yet his Martial Soul is wasted. No wonder he's crying so hard; it's such a pity."
... At the same time, Nangong Lingyun looked at the system interface, seeing that he had gained sixty-five million points. Excited, he cracked a whip on Hu Liena's butt. "Hurry up and run, or I'll beat your butt until it blooms if you try to slack off."
"If it blooms, can I rest for a day to recover?"
"You're always dreaming, even if your legs were broken, Lingling could fix them for you."
