Returning to Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang walked into the small courtyard with a face full of sorrow.
He kicked a stool away and said resentfully, "Damn that Dai Tian, to actually pin all the failures on the front lines on my head."
"It's clearly because the Star Luo Empire can't find high-level Titled Douluo combat power."
"Otherwise, the front lines wouldn't be in such a pathetic state."
"Yu Xiaogang, what are you getting angry about for no reason?"
"You're disturbing the child."
Liu Erlong walked out of the house carrying a child.
This time.
Their child didn't die prematurely like the last one.
However, what Yu Xiaogang found strange was.
This second child didn't look like him at all.
And when the child was born.
His good brother Flender had appeared even more excited than he was.
And he would often come to visit.
This always made him feel like something wasn't quite right.
But he couldn't put his finger on it.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Flender walked over with a smile, carrying two boxes of pastries.
Tang San was also with him.
Just as they entered.
Tang San noticed Yu Xiaogang's expression was off.
He asked, "Teacher, didn't you go to the Imperial Palace? What happened? Why is your expression so bad?"
Yu Xiaogang recounted what happened just now in the Imperial Court.
How Dai Tian had criticized him in front of all the court officials.
Upon hearing this.
Since it was about court matters, Liu Erlong immediately lost interest in listening further.
She turned and went back into the house.
Flender followed her in under the pretext of seeing the child.
Only Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were left in the courtyard.
"Dai Tian criticized me in front of so many people; how will I, as the Imperial Advisor, command respect in the future?" Yu Xiaogang said with indignation.
After listening to what his teacher Yu Xiaogang said.
Tang San said without hesitation, "The Emperor is far too heartless. Teacher, you've worked so hard for the Empire, yet he treats you like this. It's truly too much!"
"Besides, how can the reason for the failure at the front be entirely your fault?"
"Losing a battle even with my Tang Sect's Hidden Weapon, it's clearly the Star Luo Empire's soldiers who are incompetent."
Regarding the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapon.
Tang San remained as confident as ever.
However, after Yu Xiaogang calmed down for a moment.
He changed the subject.
"No!"
"It's not that the Star Luo Empire's soldiers are incompetent, nor is it the fault of the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapon."
"The root cause is that we have too few high-level Soul Master combatants."
Yu Xiaogang narrowed his eyes and began to analyze.
"The Spirit Hall was originally the faction with the largest number of Soul Masters on the continent, and now they have support from the Tiandou Empire's army. Only then can they barely contend with the Star Luo Empire."
"As for the Star Luo Empire, it only has some small factions and families under it, with very few Soul Masters, let alone Titled Douluo Soul Masters. So if we want to defeat the Spirit Hall, we must also have a large number of Soul Master teams and high-level Titled Douluo under our command!"
"Unfortunately, the Soul Masters on the continent have all submitted to the tyranny of the Spirit Hall."
"The Upper Three Sects, which could once contend with the Spirit Hall, have also been destroyed."
"Sigh~"
Yu Xiaogang sighed deeply.
Unexpectedly.
Tang San's gaze deepened.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly thought of something.
He quickly said, "Teacher, I know where to recruit a large number of Soul Master teams."
Hearing this.
Yu Xiaogang instantly perked up.
"Speak quickly!"
Tang San gave a mysterious smile: "Teacher, do you still remember what I said before about my training in the Slaughter City?"
"Of course I remember, but what does that have to do with recruiting Soul Master teams?" Yu Xiaogang was somewhat puzzled.
"Of course it's related!" An excited light flashed in Tang San's eyes: "The number of Soul Masters in the Slaughter City is very large, and their Spirit levels are also quite impressive."
"With their help, we'll have a better chance of defeating the Spirit Hall!"
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a while and suddenly said, "But I remember that those imprisoned in the Slaughter City are all Evil Soul Masters. If we join forces with Evil Soul Masters, if word of this gets out, will it..."
"It won't!"
"Don't worry, Teacher, no one will know about this."
"Moreover, what's 'evil' or 'righteous' for a Soul Master? Isn't that all defined by the Spirit Hall?"
"If we eliminate the Spirit Hall, we'll be the ones to decide how to define Evil Soul Masters."
Tang San spoke almost frantically.
To rid himself of his identity as an Evil Soul Master.
He had already become like a demon.
After a long time.
Yu Xiaogang nodded.
Clearly, he had been persuaded by Tang San.
Whether a Soul Master was evil or not was all defined by the wicked Spirit Hall.
As long as the Spirit Hall was destroyed.
And the Star Luo Empire was helped to defeat the Tiandou Empire.
Then Yu Xiaogang's name would be renowned throughout the entire continent.
At that time, wealth and honor would follow one after another.
Whoever saw him would have to respectfully call him Grandmaster.
As for whether releasing these Evil Soul Masters would harm ordinary civilians.
What did that have to do with him?
For supreme honor and status.
The common people would just have to suffer a little.
But then he frowned again: "But I've heard that one can only enter the Slaughter City and not leave. How should we release them? And even if we do, how would we recruit them?"
Tang San patted his chest.
"Teacher."
"Don't worry about that."
"Don't forget that I came out from there."
"And I, your disciple, also have quite a reputation in the Slaughter City."
"When the time comes, with a wave of my hand, they will surely follow my orders."
Hearing his disciple's assurance.
An evil smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.
"Good!"
"Xiao San, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Spirit Hall!"
"I, Yu Xiaogang, will definitely destroy you!"
Soon.
Tang San secretly left Shrek and headed for the Slaughter City.
But this time.
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were also traveling with him.
Due to some special circumstances.
Over time, Dai Mubai had also finally become an Evil Soul Master.
When they heard that Tang San was going to the Slaughter City, the paradise of Evil Soul Masters.
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai immediately followed.
...
Wuhun City, Holy Sons Hall.
Jin Mian had already returned from a trip to the Border Mountain Range.
Suddenly.
The Scepter of Destruction mark on his forehead lit up.
The God of Destruction manifested as a phantom.
"Yo, isn't this the missing god, the God of Destruction?"
"Long time no see."
"Have you forgotten about my Divine Trial?"
Hearing this.
The God of Destruction felt a bit awkward and tried to explain, "Look at what you're saying, we've only been apart for half a day."
"Half a day?"
"Your half a day is half a year here."
"What kind of decent person would delay for half a year after the Divine Trial was completed?"
Jin Mian said quite speechlessly.
The God of Destruction smiled again and said, "Uh... wasn't I testing the effects of that pill you gave me?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Jin Mian instantly forgot about the Divine Trial.
"Wait, half a day in the God Realm is half a year in the lower realm."
"Wow!"
"Your body is quite something."
The God of Destruction's old face turned red.
He quickly changed the subject: "Alright, let's not talk about this. I've come this time to bestow the Ninth Trial of Destruction upon you."
He condensed his Divine Power and injected it into the mark on Jin Mian's forehead.
Soon, the content of the Nine Trials of Destruction appeared before Jin Mian's eyes.
