Douluo: I’m Totally a Support Type… Probably

Chapter 39: Coward



"Impossible... Impossible..."

Wu Lan was laughing inside while trying to stay calm on the outside.

During their stay in the Star Dou Forest, Xiao Wu had broken through level 40 and condensed her fourth ring, which turned out to be black. He wasn't surprised by this, after all, she had been training with him, though not as intensely. Still, the results were showing now.

This black ring increased her attributes by 100%. Combined with her other rings, her total enhancement reached 250%, allowing her to defeat most soul masters below the Soul Emperor level.

Xiao Wu felt genuinely happy that her strength was gradually getting closer to Wu Lan's.

Zhuqing, who was initially angry hearing someone insult Wu Lan, was stunned when she saw Xiao Wu's black soul ring. Clenching her fists, she thought to herself, If I had this strength, I could easily defeat my sister.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu slowly walked toward Yu Xiaogang.

The pressure released by her black ring continued to increase on Yu Xiaogang. Finally, he snapped out of his daze from the overwhelming pain. Blood trickled from his nose and mouth as he began screaming under the pressure.

Hearing his scream, everyone snapped out of their shock and looked at Yu Xiaogang strangely.

Why is this guy so weak? Even Rongrong was still standing, albeit under pressure.

But this man, on his knees, bleeding, and screaming?

Seeing him act like an expert earlier, many had assumed he was a powerful figure.

But this… this was just pathetic.

Hearing his friend scream, Flender came out of his daze and rushed over to help him withstand the pressure.

Seeing Flender coming to his aid, Wu Lan said calmly,"Rabbit, come back."

"Okay, Brother."Hearing Wu Lan's words, Xiao Wu instantly stopped and returned to him, though still wearing an angry expression.

Flender checked Yu Xiaogang's condition and, finding only minor bleeding, asked Shao Xin, the food-system soul master, for a recovery candy.

After taking it, Yu Xiaogang recovered.

Flender then turned to Xiao Wu and scolded her angrily,"Xiao Wu, why are you attacking your teachers?"

Already angry, Xiao Wu exploded.

"How dare that trash insult my brother?! And who said he's my teacher?"

Hearing those words, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened. His fingers clenched tightly.

Flender also remembered what Yu Xiaogang had said earlier that had angered Xiao Wu.

If he blamed them now, Wu Lan and Xiao Wu would definitely leave the academy, and that would be a huge loss. So he quickly changed the topic and gathered everyone.

He began introducing all the teachers one by one, including their professions and levels.

But when it came to Yu Xiaogang, Flender simply introduced him as Tang San's master, the strongest theoretical master on the continent, and the author of the Ten Core Competence Theories. He deliberately avoided mentioning his level.

Hearing such praise, Yu Xiaogang forgot his earlier humiliation and once again put on the expert act.

Tang San, of course, looked on proudly as his teacher was being praised.

Others glanced at Flender strangely, while Wu Lan and Xiao Wu stared with obvious disdain.

Feeling their gazes, Flender didn't want to linger.

"From now on, he will be responsible for your cultivation," he said.

He handed the spotlight to Yu Xiaogang and stepped back, trying to avoid further embarrassment.

Yu Xiaogang, regaining his confidence, said arrogantly,"I've read all your details. From now on, I will guide your cultivation. If you have any questions regarding your cultivation, ask me."

Spotting Xiao Wu's black ring, Yu Xiaogang first thought it was fake. But after experiencing the pressure earlier, he now believed it was real. He wanted to know the method, but when he asked Xiao Wu directly, she will refuse to tell him. So, to obtain the information, he decided to show off his theoretical knowledge, hoping to impress everyone. After that he believed that if he told her he wanted to study and improve the method, she will share it.

His real goal was to secretly see if the method could be applied to Tang San. After all, if he, the teacher, discovered a new way to enhance Tang San, it would boost both their reputations.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at him with doubt.

Dai Mubai, wanting to know more about the "master's" actual strength, especially after seeing his earlier embarrassment, asked bluntly,"Master, what's your level?"

Wu Lan wanted to praise Mubai for that assist.

This was one of the biggest face-slapping questions Yu Xiaogang could receive.

As expected, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened, and he glared at Mubai. Tang San also looked at Mubai with killing intent, thinking Mubai was insulting his teacher.

Seeing this, Wu Lan was speechless.

I healed you, healed your father… and recently saved you from death in Star Dou Forest. Yet you don't get angry when someone insults me, but you get angry when someone questions the man who poisoned your martial spirit and nearly killed you during your first soul ring hunt?

There's definitely something wrong with Tang San's brain.

Flender, sensing the growing tension, tried to help.

"Mubai, Master's martial spirit mutated in the wrong direction. Despite having a defective martial spirit, with hard work, he still managed to cultivate almost to the Soul Elder level..."

While Flender was speaking and glancing at Yu Xiaogang's expression, trying to shift all the blame to his martial spirit, he suddenly noticed something strange about Yu Xiaogang's soul power.

He stopped mid-sentence, his expression filled with disbelief, and instantly rushed over, grabbing Yu Xiaogang's wrist to check.

"Xiaogang, what happened to your soul power?" Flender asked, genuinely concerned.

But to Yu Xiaogang, those words felt like a public slap in the face. His expression darkened even further. He didn't say anything.

Tang San rushed over, alarmed."Dean, what happened to Teacher?"

"Xiaogang's soul power should be 29… but it's only 8."

"What?!" Tang San was stunned.

Everyone else was speechless.

Level 8?

And he wanted to teach them about cultivation?

Wu Lan was laughing internally. He wanted to pat himself on the back, Finally, my masterpiece has been exposed.

This was why he wanted to praise Mubai earlier.

During his six years at Nuoding Academy, Yu Xiaogang's beatings had been a regular event, at least five times a week. Wu Lan had extracted nearly everything from him: knowledge about soul beasts, attributes, soul ring ages, and soul power theories.

Yu Xiaogang had gone insane as he felt his knowledge and soul power slowly slip away. He had no idea why it was happening. After exhausting every method he knew, he finally gave up, and focused all his efforts on making Tang San the strongest soul master to restore his own name.

"Flender!" Yu Xiaogang shouted angrily and fled to his room, unable to face the shame.

Coward.

Wu Lan was disgusted watching him run instead of facing the situation like a man.
