Chapter 98: Gang Zi's Mental State Is Unstable?
When Bai Yu emerged from Liu Erlong’s place, he lightly rubbed his waist, muttering to himself that his physical fitness needed improvement.
He then walked towards his small villa, preparing to leave with Ah Yin.
...
"What did you say? You want to take me back to Spirit City? Why?"
Ah Yin looked at Bai Yu in shock. She hadn't expected Bai Yu to return so early in the morning only to bring her such news.
Bai Yu nodded at Ah Yin while eating his breakfast.
"Ah, that's right, I'm taking you back with me."
"Tang San has already discovered your identity, and Tang Hao might return at any time. It's dangerous for you to stay here alone."
Ah Yin's expression was complex. She really wanted to question Tang Hao and ask him if he knew that Tang San's identity was problematic.
But what Bai Yu said was also true. If Tang Hao really made a move against her, without Bai Yu by her side, she would have to be reborn again.
"Then... alright, I'll go back with you, but after you go back, will you come out again?"
Bai Yu waved his hand, stating with certainty:
"Of course I'll come out! What's the point of staying in Spirit Hall all the time? Don't worry, I know what you're thinking. I'll definitely find an opportunity for you to see Tang Hao in the future."
"Let's go. Since you've agreed, we'll go say goodbye to Zhuqing and the others, and then we can depart."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu quickly stuffed the bun in his hand into his mouth, stood up, and walked outside.
Ah Yin followed behind him, shaking her head with a hint of amusement, thinking to herself, "This guy really acts on impulse. Is he really that anxious?"
At the academy training ground, Yu Xiaogang was leading the original Shrek group, along with some top students from Blue Tyrant Academy, forming teams for combat training.
When Bai Yu and Ah Yin arrived, before they even got close, they heard Gang Zi's unique hoarse voice shouting and yelling!
"Oh, Grandmaster looks good today. It seems he's recovered quite well, even having the energy to watch students spar."
Without even seeing him, Yu Xiaogang's face instantly darkened upon hearing that voice.
"Bai Yu, what are you doing here? Don't disturb the students' training. They've been playing outside these past few days, and their combat experience has gone to waste!"
Bai Yu blinked, thinking, "What does that have to do with me? I didn't take them out."
"Alright, alright, then Grandmaster, you teach slowly. I'm just here to say a few words to Zhuqing and Rongrong, and then I'll leave."
"By the way, how's that cultivation technique I gave you coming along? Do you feel like your cultivation speed is especially fast?"
Bai Yu's question made Yu Xiaogang's face flush, and the students sparring nearby also lowered their pace, perking up their ears, ready for some juicy gossip!
"Wh-what cultivation technique? I haven't cultivated your technique at all! Bai Yu, don't talk nonsense here!"
Bai Yu clicked his tongue and shook his head, saying:
"Grandmaster, that's no fun. Although I haven't practiced it, I've seen others practice it, and your aura tells me you've definitely cultivated it!"
"Hah, hah!"
Yu Xiaogang gasped twice, his teeth grinding audibly, thinking, "This damn dog, why isn't he dead yet?"
Then, he slowly squeezed out words through clenched teeth, saying to Bai Yu:
"Yes, you're right, it's very fast, the cultivation speed is extremely fast! What? Do you regret giving me this cultivation technique? Heh heh, too bad I've already cultivated it. You want it back? Too late!"
For some unknown reason, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed from initial gritting of teeth to triumphant smugness.
This scene left Bai Yu dumbfounded, thinking, "What's wrong with Yu Xiaogang? Has his condition worsened?"
Thinking of this, Bai Yu suddenly shivered and quickly waved at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, telling them to come over.
Yu Xiaogang's current mental state, he felt, was a bit hard to grasp. He needed to adapt first!
After Bai Yu took Zhu Zhuqing and the others away, Ma Hongjun secretly leaned over to Tang San and asked in a low voice:
"Tang San, is your teacher's cultivation technique really that fast?"
"You've been taking care of your teacher these past few days, so you must know his cultivation speed. Tell me about it!"
Dai Mubai and Oscar, who were nearby, also heard Fatty's question and subtly started to move closer.
As for Tang San, the one being questioned, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he glared at Ma Hongjun in annoyance.
"What? Fatty, you want to practice this too? If you want to practice it, go ask Bai Yu for it. Didn't he say he'd give it to you?"
Ma Hongjun's face stiffened, and then he shook his head like a rattle-drum, his face full of rejection.
"No, no, no, I'm not practicing that. I still want to keep that thing to enjoy properly. If it's gone, what's the fun in life?"
"Besides, I'm just curious. Bai Ge said that cultivation technique is very fast. How fast is it? It can make even a freak like him say it's fast!"
Tang San's expression changed. Remembering his cheap teacher's cultivation speed, a hint of envy actually appeared in his eyes.
"It's indeed very fast. Bai Yu didn't exaggerate the technique's effect. In terms of cultivation level increase, it's almost twice as fast as mine!"
"It's just that the spirit power is a bit chaotic and somewhat unstable, so the combat power at the same level is a bit weaker."
At this moment, Dai Mubai, who had moved closer, couldn't help but speak up.
"That's still awesome! With this technique, who would fight at the same level? Just cultivate to a high level and crush lower levels, isn't that still very satisfying?"
He knew Tang San's cultivation speed, and Bai Yu's self-mutilation technique could make someone almost twice as fast as Tang San, which was a bit terrifying!
To be honest, it was just that the timing was a bit late now. In another four years, when he turned 20, his older brother Dai Weisi would be able to kill him.
Four years, no matter how fast he cultivated, it would be hard to catch up to Dai Weisi. A gap of more than ten levels was really quite large.
If it had been a few years earlier, he would have even considered castrating himself to switch to this cultivation technique. Then, when his spirit power surpassed Dai Weisi, the Star Luo throne would be his!
As for being rootless..., he could worry about that after becoming emperor. An emperor without roots is still an emperor, isn't he?
"What are you few muttering about over there? Don't be influenced by that guy Bai Yu. Hurry up, form pairs, and continue training!"
Seeing Dai Mubai and his four disciples huddled together whispering, Yu Xiaogang, with his hoarse voice, directly interrupted them.
Gang Zi's shouting made Dai Mubai and the four others pout, but they didn't retort. Instead, they followed instructions and dispersed.
After all, even if they didn't give Yu Xiaogang face, they had to give face to the title of team leader.
As for why Bai Yu had this special privilege, it was entirely because of one word: strength! Compared to his student title, Bai Yu was more like an unreliable teacher.
Speaking of Bai Yu, after he took Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong away, he began to tell them about his plans.
"What? Bai Ge, are you going home? Then when will you be back? If you're not coming back, you have to take me and Zhuqing with you!"
