Chapter 49: Yu Xiaogang Falls Into the Trap, Punishment Privileges, Yu Xiaogang's Miserable Fate!
What?!
Yu Xiaogang, who was full of confidence waiting to receive the reward for this Q&A, was suddenly struck like a thunderbolt when he heard that he had answered incorrectly. He was stunned.
Is this a joke? How could he have gotten it wrong?
Impossible!
But the reality was right in front of him.
As for Yu Xiaogang's wrong answer, Lin Yu, who was in a hotel in Kiel City, had already expected it and couldn't help but coldly smirk in ridicule.
Yu Xiaogang prided himself on being a master of martial soul theory and was indeed very knowledgeable about soul masters and soul beasts.
But all that knowledge had come from the Spirit Hall decades ago.
However, the knowledge from Spirit Hall wasn't necessarily entirely correct; there were definitely mistakes in it.
Over the past few decades, Spirit Hall's knowledge had likely been updated.
But Yu Xiaogang, hiding in Notting Academy, wouldn't know that.
Lin Yu clearly remembered that in the original novel, Tang San's external soul bone, the Eight Spider Spears, was nearly fatal because he misjudged the cultivation of the man-faced demon spider, and only after absorbing its soul ring did he almost die.
And Tang San's knowledge came from Yu Xiaogang.
So, regarding the man-faced demon spider, Yu Xiaogang's knowledge was certainly wrong!
Yu Xiaogang! Yu Xiaogang! You've finally fallen for it!
As the live stream showed that Yu Xiaogang had answered incorrectly, Lin Yu couldn't help but lick his lips.
And just as the live stream indicated that Yu Xiaogang had made an error, Lin Yu decisively activated one of the privileges granted to him by the live stream Q&A system.
—Reward enhancement, or punishment escalation!
This privilege could only be used once every three months and could only target one person.
If the person was a reward winner, their reward quality could be enhanced.
And if the person had answered incorrectly, Lin Yu could escalate their punishment!
For Yu Xiaogang, Lin Yu directly escalated the punishment to the maximum!
You see, regarding this man-faced demon spider's cultivation age issue, although Yu Xiaogang had answered incorrectly, based on previous experience, since his answer wasn't ridiculously wrong, the live stream would likely just strip him of his soul ring.
But that wouldn't have much of an impact on Yu Xiaogang!
However, even though the punishments in the live stream became heavier for wrong answers, they were still random!
So Lin Yu escalated the punishment to its maximum, which should strip Yu Xiaogang of his martial soul, right?
The Luo San Pao martial soul, Lin Yu had heard in his past life, was the result of Yu Xiaogang being too much of a failure, leading to the Golden Sacred Dragon, which was supposed to be the original martial soul, degrading into the Luo San Pao.
But Lin Yu had the Dragon Yuan.
If he could get the Luo San Pao martial soul, perhaps he could evolve it into the Golden Sacred Dragon.
Having the Luo San Pao follow him would be better than having it follow that useless Yu Xiaogang, right?
But even so, Lin Yu still didn't want the Luo San Pao martial soul.
After all, this martial soul seemed to have a consciousness, and it had followed Yu Xiaogang, which felt a little disturbing.
If he could get the source of the Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul, then he could use the Dragon Yuan to evolve into the Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul himself.
But Yu Xiaogang would definitely become even more useless now!
This time, Lin Yu would truly turn him into a useless person. If he had no martial soul, then how could he continue pretending to be impressive!
After escalating Yu Xiaogang's punishment to the maximum, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile playfully and waited to watch Yu Xiaogang's performance.
[Prompt: Yu Xiaogang's answer: The cultivation age of the man-faced demon spider in the previous live stream is 2,300 years. Answer incorrect!]
[Punishment: Strip the Golden Sacred Dragon source from the Luo San Pao martial soul!]
As a line of blood-red characters appeared before everyone, a cold voice echoed in their ears.
"What? Strip the Golden Sacred Dragon source from the Three Cannons? No! No!!!"
Upon hearing the punishment, Master, who was in Notting Academy, immediately turned pale and screamed in shock.
Yu Xiaogang didn't know that the Luo San Pao martial soul contained the Golden Sacred Dragon source.
But when thinking back to the Soul Fusion Technique that he had used with Flender and Liu Erlong, where the Golden Sacred Dragon was born from fusing with Luo San Pao as the main soul, it was possible that his martial soul, Luo San Pao, indeed had the Golden Sacred Dragon source inside.
If that were the case...
If the Golden Sacred Dragon source from Luo San Pao was stripped away...
How could he possibly continue using the fusion technique with Flender and Liu Erlong to form the Golden Sacred Dragon?
Since he was a failure, the fact that he could even perform the soul fusion technique and form the Golden Sacred Dragon with them had been one of his few prides.
If even that small pride was taken away, he would be utterly useless, right?
And if the Golden Sacred Dragon source was taken away, what would happen to the Luo San Pao martial soul?
Could it really turn into the lowest-level soul beast, the pig-like beast?
Amidst Yu Xiaogang's shock and cries, his body suddenly felt a sharp pain, and his Luo San Pao martial soul, which looked like a small pig covered in purple fur with long ears and still somewhat cute, appeared behind him.
At the same time, two yellow soul rings rose from Yu Xiaogang's feet and surrounded his body.
But as soon as the Luo San Pao was forcibly summoned out...
The stripping of the Golden Sacred Dragon source from within its body began!
For a moment, there was a blood-curdling scream.
Then, bright golden lights were continuously stripped from the Luo San Pao's body, gathering in the air and quickly forming a golden spherical light.
"Three Cannons!!"
Seeing the Luo San Pao being trapped in the air, continuously screaming in pain, Master was desperate but couldn't move.
As the Golden Sacred Dragon source was stripped away, Luo San Pao's body immediately began to change.
The purple fur on its body gradually faded, and its long ears shrunk back. The once somewhat cute head grew rounder and uglier.
Finally, when the Golden Sacred Dragon source was completely stripped away and gathered into a golden light ball that shot into the air, the Luo San Pao had completely turned into a fat, ugly pig-like beast and fell to the ground.
"Three Cannons!!"
As the Golden Sacred Dragon source was stripped away, the live stream's restraint on Yu Xiaogang vanished, and looking at the fat, ugly pig-like beast, Yu Xiaogang mumbled bitterly, falling to the ground in despair.
Heaven! What am I supposed to do now?
Though I was a failure before, my martial soul, the Luo San Pao, could still be seen by others. But now?
Since the Golden Sacred Dragon source was stripped away, the Luo San Pao had completely turned into a pig-like beast.
How could I even summon it now? Isn't that humiliating!
After the live stream announced Yu Xiaogang's wrong answer, it then moved on to Sword Douluo Chen Xin's answer.
[Prompt: Sword Douluo Chen Xin's answer: The cultivation age of the man-faced demon spider in the previous live stream is 5,300+ years. Answer correct!]
[Reward: Soul Evolution opportunity x1, reward granted!]
At this moment, in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...
After the live stream announced that Sword Douluo Chen Xin's answer was correct and the reward was granted, just like Ning Fengzhi did earlier, Sword Douluo Chen Xin also chose to share the live stream.
He planned to broadcast the evolution of his martial soul to all of Douluo Continent.
The reason for doing this was simple: to advertise the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
Ning Fengzhi had done the same before, and it had brought significant benefits to the school.
Many people, fascinated by the live stream, had come to the school, wanting to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Although many of them didn't meet the requirements, a significant number did and successfully joined, becoming future members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
