The instant Nangong Lingyun emerged, Yu Xiaogang glared, his neck stiff.
His fists were clenched tight, his eyes bloodshot, and he was breathing heavily. His entire body was trembling uncontrollably, as if he had reached the peak of his rage.
In the past, no matter what happened, Tang San would have been the first to rush forward, eager to show his support.
After all, once a teacher, always a father. The disciple should serve his master.
In a world governed by loyalty and filial piety, these were the highest moral standards and political correctness.
However, today, seeing his teacher lose his love and being thoroughly cuckolded in front of him by a young brat,
there wasn't a flicker of emotion in his eyes. In fact, he was secretly pleased, reveling in the retribution, thinking, serves you right for screwing me over, now you get cheated on.
As for Yu Xiaogang, Flender was right. He was just a Soul Grand Master. Even if he were furious, desperate, regretful, and pained, what could he do?
Charge up and fight?
Don't be ridiculous. If he had that courage, he wouldn't be Gangzi.
His heart felt as if it was being sliced by a thousand knives, yet he couldn't do anything to them. He could only endure silently, watching them flaunt their power in front of him.
Even in such a humiliating situation, he didn't dare to utter a harsh word, nor could he even turn and leave.
Tang San wanted to ask "Qin Feng" about cultivation problems. Yu Xiaogang was afraid that if he wasn't present, he would be slandered.
If that happened, the disciple he had finally managed to pacify would leave him again.
Sanzi was now his life.
Nan Gong Lingyun flicked his right index finger, and a row of wooden tables and chairs immediately appeared in front of them.
After unceremoniously plopping down in the main seat, he asked with a face full of smiles,
"Sit and chat. What do you want to ask? Since you've joined Sister Long's academy, you're also considered my students. I'll definitely tell you everything I know."
In the wooden building behind, Liu Erlong's face flushed again upon hearing this.
She thought to herself in annoyance, "Damn it, this guy is doing it on purpose. The more he explains, the worse it gets. What do you mean, joining my academy also makes you my student? It sounds so intimate. Do we even have a relationship?"
Her cheeks were already flushed red from the special sensations of the Martial Soul fusion earlier. Adding to that the shame of being overheard making those strange sounds, she was burning up.
Now, it was even worse, with a faint mist even rising from her head.
But Liu Erlong didn't back down because of this.
Just tidying up her clothes and appearance a bit,
she then walked out of the wooden house with a tray of fruit platters and drinks, placing them gently on the table. She sat gracefully at the edge, quietly observing their discussion.
Facing the strange expressions of the others, who were clearly taken aback by her lingering post-coital appearance, and her old friend's pained, resentful, and angry gaze,
she offered no explanation, nor did she show any sign of being flustered.
Unlike Yu Xiaogang, as a respected Academy Dean, a Soul Saint, and the daughter of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's second-in-command, she possessed abundant confidence and self-assurance, not caring about the opinions of others.
Moreover,
Liu Erlong hadn't slept much last night, spending the entire night pondering certain matters.
She replayed her memories of the past with Yu Xiaogang, particularly recalling her new impressions and feelings toward her two teammates after their reunion twenty years later.
She had already decided that, Pubfuture Ads from now on, she would no longer consider Flender and Yu Xiaogang as close friends or even lovers, and certainly not as enemies or strangers.
It was probably similar to old classmates, just two acquaintances who hadn't seen each other in a long time.
Neither close nor repulsed, that was all.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she could completely dispel their hopes.
The three of them hadn't made any real progress.
Back then, Yu Xiaogang played the gentleman so flawlessly, and she had always been pure and innocent. It was hilarious; there was no sunk cost at all.
Liu Erlong sat down. Tang San was polite for a moment, then couldn't wait to ask,
"I want to know, if all the subsequent soul rings, starting from the fourth, are equipped with life-related abilities, does the Blue Silver Emperor still have hope of recovery?"
Whether it was an illusion or not,
Just at the moment this question was asked, Liu Erlong suddenly felt a strange smile on Nangong Lingyun's face.
Even though the curve of his lips didn't change, she felt as if he was shocked, surprised, and unexpectedly excited.
Nan Gong Lingyun was truly stunned.
He never expected that Tang San could come up with such a brilliant idea, even a combination of the best minds couldn't have thought of it, to try and restore the Blue Silver Emperor.
It was known that life attribute and poison-type abilities were contradictory and couldn't coexist; they would cancel each other out when together.
And the first three poison-type Soul Rings, pure and undefiled, had completely destroyed the source of life.
From the next Soul Ring onwards, continuing to add and evolve poison-related abilities, going down that single path, would definitely yield far greater results than turning back to life.
The reason was simple: his Blue Silver Grass now carried three kinds of deadly poisons.
If he wanted to backtrack, he'd first have to destroy and neutralize the poisons he'd painstakingly acquired, just like he had with life.
Thus, the fourth and even the fifth rings might be ruined as well.
More water with the flour, then more flour with the water, Truly a wise one, this intelligence is simply invincible.
Just ask if there's anyone else? Is there anyone else? Nangong Lingyun gave a slight cough, forcibly suppressing the unusual emotions within, and spoke eloquently: "Of course there is. Although your Martial Soul's two main attributes, life and plant, have been destroyed, there are still the other two major characteristics, absorption and carrying, which haven't been affected at all.
The so-called absorption refers to the ability to quickly absorb and convert external energy, especially the power of other Soul Beasts and Soul Masters, for one's own use.
And carrying refers to the Martial Soul's extremely strong compatibility, which can coexist harmoniously with most attributes and make good use of them.
A Martial Soul with similar characteristics, even if it originally didn't have a certain attribute at all, can still gain a certain amount of related abilities after adding related Soul Rings.
For example, your current poison.
Moreover, life, as the name implies, is known for its survival ability and tenacious recovery ability. Furthermore, the Blue Silver Emperor's life attribute is already close to the ultimate level, it won't be so easily destroyed in its foundation and origin. Only three hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old Soul Rings, it's very likely that they are only suppressed and hidden."
The possibility of re-guiding and redeveloping it wasn't entirely nonexistent.
However, reaching the level it should have been at after normal development was now forever impossible.
In the Soul Master system, the Soul Rings' development and evolution of the Martial Soul were like multiplying nine numbers. If the attributes of your first three Soul Rings didn't match, it was equivalent to only multiplying six numbers.
Even if all of them were equipped with super-limit Soul Rings, such a huge gap would be difficult to completely make up for."
