Chapter 79: Yu Xiaogang

The venue fell silent.

Wei Zhangfeng's words landed.

Throughout the entire venue, everyone was deathly silent.

Especially Yu Xiaogang, who was being trampled into a crater by Flender like a shrimp.

Beside his ears, all he could hear was Wei Zhangfeng endorsing Flender; he nearly passed out from the shock in one breath.

He had hoped with all his heart to latch onto the great ship of the Tianwu Empire.

But the result...

In the end.

Wei Zhangfeng hadn't even intended to look at him properly!

"Tianwu Great Emperor, every word I just said is true; I can definitely bring unimaginable benefits to your noble country!"

"As long as you give me sufficient conditions, I can definitely make your noble country reach a higher level in martial soul research; I believe in my skills!"

"I cannot die yet; I have not yet realized my great ambitions!"

Yu Xiaogang shouted loudly.

Flender already hated him to the bone.

As for the others, he didn't think anyone would help him at this moment.

Even if there were someone truly willing to help him, it would probably only be Bibi Dong.

But Wei Zhangfeng was here providing an endorsement.

Even if Bibi Dong wanted to intervene, she could not bypass a mountain like Wei Zhangfeng.

As long as Wei Zhangfeng did not permit it.

He could still be certain that no one could take action at this time.

Ultimately...

The only possible outcome was for Flender to torture him to death.

Being tortured to death was not the end of the road for him, Yu Xiaogang.

He wanted to achieve success and fame, he wanted to grow to the point of being above others.

These were all the aspirations he had kept suppressed in his heart.

If he could not realize these aspirations and just died so easily, that would truly be an absolutely unforgivable thing!

Wei Zhangfeng had no change in expression.

It was as if he hadn't heard Yu Xiaogang's wailing.

His words were followed by actions.

As the noble Tianwu Great Emperor.

He had already agreed to endorse Flender.

Then the next step was certainly to let Flender act with peace of mind.

If he were to change his mind now because of a few words from Yu Xiaogang, that would be quite laughable.

Furthermore.

A mere Yu Xiaogang did not have the qualifications to make him change his mind.

Perhaps such people existed in the world.

But clearly.

Yu Xiaogang was not worthy!

Yu Xiaogang's face was sallow.

Seeing that Wei Zhangfeng had no intention of paying him any mind.

His lips trembled, and he looked at Wei Zhangfeng, shivering, with a breath stuck in his throat that he couldn't swallow or spit out.

"Your hope is shattered!"

"Yu Xiaogang, you think you are very capable!"

"But your true ability is just that of a dog!"

"Now that death is at your doorstep, you dog still want to struggle to save your dog life!"

"Today I tell you, you are indulging in wishful thinking! If you can still live today, I'll twist off my head and let you use it as a chamber pot!"

Flender was so angry his lungs felt like they were exploding.

Extremely vulgar words spilled from his mouth.

He didn't care in the slightest about Yu Xiaogang's current despair.

At this moment, the only thing he truly wanted to do was to kill Yu Xiaogang.

Although he knew that Yu Xiaogang had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family backing him, no matter how powerful the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was.

Now...

Having learned of the might of the Tianwu Empire, he could still be certain that no one could stir up trouble under Wei Zhangfeng's nose.

Even if the old patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was very powerful.

That Yu Yuanzhen was indeed one of the peak figures in the Spirit Master World.

But before Wei Zhangfeng, this Tianwu Great Emperor.

Yu Yuanzhen was, at most, just a larger ant.

To deal with such an ant.

He didn't believe Wei Zhangfeng couldn't handle it.

One thing could be confirmed.

If Yu Yuanzhen truly wanted to do something, he would still need to burn incense and pray to Buddha in advance.

At the very least...

He would have to wait until Wei Zhangfeng was taking a nap; perhaps then there would be a tiny sliver of hope for success.

Although such hope was also slim to the point of being negligible.

After all, at Wei Zhangfeng's side, there were still the existences of Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei.

Such a pair, capable of pinning a Clear Sky Douluo like Tang Hao to the ground and rubbing his face in the dirt, would certainly have no trouble doing the same to a Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Xiaogang jolted awake.

Flender's words had stung him.

He now had only one belief left.

He wanted to live; he did not want to die just like this.

Looking at Flender like a dog, he hoped to be able to move Flender's heart.

However...

Flender did not even spare him a single glance.

No matter how pitiful a look Yu Xiaogang put on at this moment.

His, Flender's, heart of iron and stone could no longer be changed.

Boom—

Another loud noise rang out.

Flender once again stepped on Yu Xiaogang's chest.

With blood foam mixed with many unknown things, under this single kick, Yu Xiaogang vomited out many things.

His internal organs were completely shattered by this kick.

Many fragments were spat out along with this mouthful of old blood.

"Flender, we have known each other for so many years; do you not cherish any of our past friendship at all? Back then, when we galloped through the Spirit Master World together, how exhilarating that was!"

"Back then, you and Er Long both said that you would support my career, that you would wait for me to reach the very peak; now, this is my chance!"

"The Tianwu Great Emperor must only want to endorse you. As long as you do not pursue the previous matters, if I can still survive, I will still have a chance to gain the appreciation of the Tianwu Great Emperor!"

"Perhaps this is my test, a test from the Tianwu Great Emperor for me, and whether this test can be passed depends entirely on your whim!"

"Believe me, as long as I can succeed, I will definitely let you possess multiple martial souls; in the future, you might even become a powerhouse at the Title Douluo level!"

"I, Yu Xiaogang, never make promises to anyone, but this time I can absolutely guarantee it. I believe that as long as I obtain the opportunity, I will definitely be able to help you soar to the nine heavens!"

Yu Xiaogang had somewhat lost his mind.

He understood that Wei Zhangfeng would not help him at this time.

All the remaining hope he had, he placed on Flender.

Even...

At this point, he still believed that he had a chance to gain the appreciation of the Tianwu Empire.

Wei Zhangfeng might still be willing to give him a chance!

And with the power of the Tianwu Empire.

As long as he could grasp such an opportunity.

His future status and position would surely rise with the tide.

Given the tyranny of the Tianwu Empire.

Looking at the world he was in, who could compete with the Tianwu Empire?

Even if he could not become a person above others in the Tianwu Empire.

But by relying on the resources provided by the Tianwu Empire.

In the end...

In the world he was in, he believed that he would definitely still be able to become a person above others.

At the very least, those who looked down on him in the past would surely beat their chests and stamp their feet in regret for their previous contempt.

To put it in one phrase—

The me of the past, you disdained.

The me of the present, you cannot climb high enough to reach!

Yu Xiaogang's thinking was just that simple and crude.

What he was thinking of, and what he wanted, had always been like this.

He wanted to prove to the world.

Even if his martial soul had evolved maliciously, he, Yu Xiaogang, was still an existence at an absolute peak that others could not reach!

Flender sneered.

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was still trying to struggle at this time.

The curve of his mouth was filled with nothing but contempt for Yu Xiaogang.

Back when he was still good friends with Yu Xiaogang.

Wearing a filter, he had always believed that Yu Xiaogang was a perfect person.

Except for the innate deficiency brought by his martial soul, in every other aspect, Yu Xiaogang appeared to be a contrarian who refused to submit to the arrangements of fate.

But now...

After truly seeing through Yu Xiaogang's ugly face.

He discovered.

Yu Xiaogang really was a dead fish in a sewer.

Aside from being good at packaging himself in every way, he is pure trash in every other aspect.

To deal with such trash.

There is simply no need to show any mercy.

The so-called filter can also completely vanish at this moment.

Using a filter on Yu Xiaogang is truly a gift to such scum!

"Stop!"

Just as Flender wanted to continue raising his foot to land another hit on Yu Xiaogang.

Suddenly.

A dragon's roar rang out.

An absolutely overbearing voice resounded across the heavens and earth.

Following that, a figure stood tall above the firmament, his entire body wreathed in terrifying thunder.

The incomparably tyrannical aura of a Title Douluo was displayed without doubt at this moment, and the terrifying pressure stunned everyone present.

Of course, Wei Zhangfeng and his group were not among them.

The person who arrived was none other than one of Yu Xiaogang's true major backers.

Yu Yuanzhen!

The patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

Someone who should have been safely developing within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

At this moment, he had appeared here very abnormally.

Seeing such a scene.

Wei Zhangfeng connected many things he knew together.

In his memory.

Yu Yuanzhen should have been in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, peacefully developing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

Although the Spirit Master Tournament is important.

But when it comes down to it, the Spirit Master Tournament is merely a competition for these upper-tier families to screen people.

An old patriarch like him did not need to personally descend into such a competition.

After all...

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family already possessed the number one beast martial soul in the Spirit Master World—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit.

In every aspect, it was still quite a bit stronger than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Although they were inferior to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the number of Title Douluo, the Title Douluo possessed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were merely recruited from the outside.

Simply!

Not people native to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Therefore...

In past Spirit Master Tournaments, people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family actually did not come in large numbers, because they respected their own family's martial soul more.

They had a near-perverted pursuit of their own family's martial soul.

But now.

Yu Yuanzhen had suddenly appeared at such a competition venue.

It was obvious that Yu Yuanzhen knew Yu Xiaogang had come to Wuhun City and was afraid that some accident would happen to Yu Xiaogang.

Therefore...

He had been watching from the shadows all along.

Just like how Tang Dachui liked to follow behind Tang San.

That old geezer Yu Yuanzhen was also imitating Tang Dachui's methods, terrified that Yu Xiaogang might encounter some accident.

And the current situation.

Clearly reached an uncontrollable point.

The furious Flender did not want to give Yu Xiaogang any way out at all.

Unable to hold back, Yu Yuanzhen appeared.

Wei Zhangfeng wore a smile at the corners of his mouth.

Having analyzed these matters thoroughly.

He continued to maintain a calm and composed appearance.

Peacefully, he just watched from the spectator stands.

However, no matter how tyrannical Yu Yuanzhen's terrifying soul power was.

At this moment...

It had no effect on him at all.

If he were to be affected by a so-called Title Douluo like Yu Yuanzhen.

Then, all things considered, their Tianwu Empire would truly be too pathetic.

But was the Tianwu Empire really such a pathetic empire?

An empire that could complete the unification of another world.

The Tianwu Empire had long since become a behemoth that Title Douluo dared not touch.

A mere Yu Yuanzhen could be suppressed and killed with a wave of the hand.

Yu Yuanzhen stood above the firmament.

The thunder shrouding his entire body was constantly declaring his overbearing nature.

The next second, he appeared in front of Flender.

With a single slap, Flender flew backward like a broken kite.

After all, he was only at the Soul Saint level of cultivation and was no match for Yu Yuanzhen at all.

Just like that, quite simply, he was knocked back directly by a single slap from Yu Yuanzhen.

He retreated a great distance.

Flender clutched his chest.

Looking at Yu Yuanzhen's furious appearance, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

The scene from just a moment ago where Liu Erlong was crushed to death on the spot by Wei Zhangfeng, and now the scene where he wanted to avenge Liu Erlong only to be knocked back by Yu Yuanzhen.

Between the two, there was inexplicably a tiny connection.

"Xiaogang is, after all, a member of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family."

"To want to judge Xiaogang, you, a Flender, do not have the qualifications, yet you actually dare to go to such lengths against a member of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family!"

"Flender, I see that you are looking for death!"

Yu Yuanzhen let out a cold snort.

With a sweep of one hand, his soul power dragged Yu Xiaogang up from the pit.

His eyes, glaring with rage, stared coldly at Flender, not wanting to give Flender any explanation at all.

Even...

Even though he had been here for a long time.

He had been lurking in the shadows, watching everything that had just happened.

In his heart, none of the previous events were Yu Xiaogang's fault; the ones who were truly wrong were others.

Yu Xiaogang was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was one of the renowned Three Great Sects in the Spirit Master World.

Someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth since childhood, how could he be comparable to someone like Flender who came from an unorthodox background.

Flender wanted to lay a hand on Yu Xiaogang.

Such behavior was a slap in the face to him, Yu Yuanzhen, and a slap in the face to their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

Against such a person.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had always followed only one principle.

To crush all those who provoke them into powder.

Flender already possessed all the prerequisites to be crushed into powder.

Flender stared back at Yu Yuanzhen without the slightest sign of yielding.

Even though he had been knocked back, and even though his internal organs were currently churning.

Yet he did not show the slightest hint of stage fright.

He was merely seeking revenge.

Moreover...

He had Wei Zhangfeng to back him up.

He did not believe that a mere Yu Yuanzhen could stir up any trouble at this moment.

A Title Douluo, is that it?

Today, he, Flender, would truly go head-to-head!

At worst, it was just one life.

At most, he would just die in battle right here.

In any case, it was absolutely impossible to give in so easily!!
