Yu Xiaogang was still somewhat useful, after all, if he hadn't provided the protagonist group with information about Sea God Island, Tang San and the others wouldn't have become Titled Douluo so quickly.
Other than that, it seems there was nothing else.
Not only did he provide no other help, but he also held them back quite a bit. After all, if it weren't for him, Tang San's strength might have been even greater.
Douluo fans are divided into two factions, those who oppose Tang San and those who support him, but neither faction likes this guy.
If only one faction disliked him, it might be due to factional bias, but since both factions dislike him, it can only mean he's genuinely useless as a person.
The Grandmaster remained arrogant and said indifferently, "I heard your innate soul power was only level three, yet you cultivated to level eleven within a year. I came to understand the situation."
Li Qing: "???"
Wait...
Where did this guy get the nerve to speak as if exploring someone else's secret was so natural and proper? Someone who didn't know better would think he was a superior come down to inspect work.
"Bang!"
Li Qing then closed the door and turned back into his room without looking back.
Yu Xiaogang: "???"
Wait...
Yu Xiaogang was stunned. What was wrong with this kid? How could he be so impolite?
"Thump thump thump!"
"Buzz off!"
Hearing this, a perverted smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face: "Li Qing, let's have a good talk. After all, you wouldn't want me to spread your secret, right?"
Damn, why does this old geezer sound so creepy when he talks?
Li Qing thought for a moment, reopened the door, and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Heh!"
Yu Xiaogang smiled confidently: "Your innate soul power is only level three. There's no way you could reach level eleven within a year, so you have a secret."
Li Qing asked, "And then?"
Yu Xiaogang said confidently: "As your extraordinary talent gradually becomes known, this secret will eventually be noticed by those with ulterior motives. At that time, the only outcome awaiting you will be death."
"And you'll first suffer countless tortures to be forced to reveal your secret before being killed."
"You have no background and can't protect this secret. As long as you are willing to take me as your master and tell me that secret, I guarantee your safety."
After speaking, Yu Xiaogang said no more, just stood there with an arrogant posture.
In his opinion, Li Qing was just a seven-year-old brat. With such a scare from him, wouldn't the kid be scared stiff, peeing his pants, and kneeling to beg him to be his master, willingly offering his secret?
"Idiot!"
"Bang!"
Li Qing lifted his leg and kicked, directly sending Yu Xiaogang flying like a cooked shrimp, crashing into the opposite wall, and landing on the ground in pain.
In that instant, Yu Xiaogang was bewildered, and also experienced the terrifying strength Li Qing possessed, as described by Tang San.
What kind of level eleven Soul Master was this? Even compared to a power-type Great Soul Master, he wasn't far off. An ordinary Soul Venerable probably wouldn't be this exaggerated.
The moment he landed, Li Qing had already stepped close.
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
The kick just now had almost made Yu Xiaogang choke, so he couldn't even scream. However, Li Qing's next kick helped him catch his breath.
"Spir..."
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
Yu Xiaogang, who couldn't even get up after being beaten, still wanted to release his martial soul, but Li Qing's physical leg-breaking move forcibly suppressed it, replaced by another scream.
"it...
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
...
Yu Xiaogang was an excellent straight man in a comedy duo; Li Qing kicked, and he screamed, kicked, and screamed. The rhythm was very strong, perhaps he had perfect pitch.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Qing was tired, and Yu Xiaogang couldn't take it anymore and fell into a coma.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang, who was covered in blood, bruised and swollen, lying on the ground like a dead pig, for a moment, Li Qing really wanted to just finish him off.
It wasn't because he was afraid of him spreading his secret.
Li Qing was just a seven-year-old orphan, with a mutated martial soul as cover. Even if he reported it, no one would believe him, and he would never be willing to hand over such a secret.
What kind of person was Yu Xiaogang?
A truly petty person who was self-centered and selfish. To gain fame and prove himself, he would definitely not let go of any possible opportunity.
He would definitely try everything possible to get Li Qing's secret into his own hands.
This was the reason Li Qing wanted to kill him, because it meant that for the next few years, this old geezer would definitely cling to him like sticky candy.
That was truly disgusting.
The reason this good-for-nothing came to find me must be because he learned about my situation from Tang San. I wonder if Tang San knew he was coming to find me.
If he knew, then I can't kill him.
Although Yu Xiaogang was useless, his connections were truly extensive. Flander, Liu Erlong, and even Bibi Dong, if they knew I killed this guy, they would definitely seek revenge for him.
I don't have the ability to protect myself yet, so it's better not to create potential threats.
"Tui..."
Li Qing couldn't help but spit at Yu Xiaogang, then turned and went home, with no intention of sending him for medical treatment. If he really died like this, he deserved it.
After an unknown amount of time, a middle-aged man walked into the alley. He was Li Qing's neighbor.
"What is this?"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang lying motionless on the ground, the middle-aged man was startled. He approached and saw it was a person, a person with a bloody face from being beaten.
Out of kindness, he sent Yu Xiaogang to the nearest medical clinic.
...
The next day.
After the first class in the morning, someone called out to Li Qing, saying someone was looking for him outside the classroom. Li Qing came out and saw that it was Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Li Qing asked, "Something wrong?"
Tang San said awkwardly, "Uh... Li Qing, my teacher, I mean the Grandmaster, he seemed to have gone to find you yesterday, but he hasn't come back yet. Have you seen him?"
Li Qing thought to himself, "Sure enough, it was you, you dog."
"I saw him. That old geezer seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and was beaten up by me. You can look for him in a nearby medical clinic, because I went out for dinner last night and didn't see a body, so he should have been rescued."
"Ah?"
Tang San was confused. Didn't he say he wasn't going to cause trouble? Why did he get beaten up?
As for Li Qing being able to beat the Grandmaster...
He had seen how useless the Grandmaster was, so it wasn't surprising. However, Li Qing's way of doing things made him slightly surprised, because this didn't seem like something a child would do.
Children naturally feared adults.
Xiao Wu subconsciously shrank behind Tang San after hearing Li Qing's words. This guy was too brutal, even saying things like 'didn't see a body'.
It was clear how badly the Grandmaster was beaten.
After learning the specific situation, Tang San wasn't angry and didn't immediately intend to go find the person. Instead, he said, "Li Qing, can I ask you a question?"
