Soul Land: I Became the Pope from the Beginning

Chapter 125: Fiery Sausage, Abyss's Might

Creak—

The door was pushed open, and three figures tiptoed in. Yu Xiaogang was still diligently revising data for his top ten core competencies of martial souls.

He didn't notice the three people who had entered.

As soon as the three dark figures stepped inside, Yu Xiaogang suddenly heard the sound of the door locking. He was immediately puzzled, secretly thinking, 'Could it be that Liu Erlong wants to force herself on me today?'

'That won't do. The matter of my missing root absolutely cannot be spread.' He immediately turned his head and shouted in an unfriendly tone, "Why are you locking the door? Don't you know I..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang saw three men, their faces covered with black masks, dressed in black robes that completely enveloped their bodies, surrounding him.

They kept letting out strange cackling laughs, causing his pupils to constrict slightly. His heart immediately sank, and he thought, This isn't good.

Judging by their appearance, they probably weren't here with good intentions.

However, Yu Xiaogang's expression was flustered, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. He stood up and said in a flat but slightly trembling voice:

"Who are you? Do you know where this is? There are two Soul Saint powerhouses nearby. If you leave now, I can let bygones be bygones. If you take another step, don't blame me for being impolite."

The only thing Yu Xiaogang could do now was to use Liu Erlong's and Flender's names to scare them away. Otherwise, with his thin arms and legs, how could he fight these few people?

He could only hope that these people would retreat when they realized the difficulty, or just take the money and leave, so long as they didn't take his life.

After all, he had just seen hope for getting rid of his status as waste. If he died, he might carry the label of a waste for eternity.

He couldn't die yet. He still had goals to achieve. He still wanted to become a Grandmaster, renowned throughout the world.

However, Dai Mubai heard Yu Xiaogang's clownish remarks. First, he looked at him, then at his companions, and then burst into laughter, scolding, "You useless good-for-nothing who only knows how to borrow others' prestige. Two Soul Saints? What does having two Soul Saints have to do with a good-for-nothing like you?"

"I don't know how Liu Erlong was charmed by a good-for-nothing like you. Could it be that she just likes ugly people?"

"You!"

Yu Xiaogang's face turned red from the trio's words. He clenched his fists tightly, then slammed them hard on the table, making a dull thud.

Looking at their familiar figures, Yu Xiaogang finally realized that these three were none other than Dai Mubai and the others. After all, Ma Hongjun's build was too obvious. He immediately said with anger in his voice:

"Enough. You're Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, right? Do you think I wouldn't recognize you just because you're wearing masks and black clothes? Now get out immediately, or you'll face extra training tomorrow."

His usual arrogant demeanor when ordering the Shrek Academy members around made Yu Xiaogang somewhat unable to see the situation.

He still thought that Dai Mubai and the others would listen to him now. Without Liu Erlong's protectiveness and Flender's tolerance, what was Yu Xiaogang?

"You useless good-for-nothing, you really can't see the situation. It seems necessary to teach you a lesson. It's time to make you understand the current situation."

Ma Hongjun saw that this good-for-nothing was still so arrogant and became furious. He stepped forward and delivered a flying kick, sending Yu Xiaogang flying.

With a series of clattering sounds, Yu Xiaogang was sent flying in all directions by Ma Hongjun's three consecutive kicks, his body covered in bruises.

Still seemingly not satisfied, Ma Hongjun immediately grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the collar with great interest, sneered, and said mockingly, "Oh, isn't this Grandmaster Yu? Why are you so bruised and swollen? Who hit you?"

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's purple eyes were open, and his swollen mouth mumbled something unintelligible.

"Quick... let me go. Tomorrow... reduced training. I'll... I'll give you reduced training, alright?"

After being beaten, Yu Xiaogang finally became honest. He was no longer arrogant, nor did he try to borrow others' prestige. He reluctantly admitted defeat.

"You're cheap, aren't you? You don't learn unless you're beaten? I'll teach you a lesson."

Dai Mubai, with his hot temper, stepped forward and slapped Yu Xiaogang twice. Because he was held by Ma Hongjun, Yu Xiaogang couldn't dodge.

Slap, slap—

Two slaps, one on each side, made his face look much more symmetrical. Dai Mubai withdrew his hand, and Oscar, eager to join, also stepped forward.

He couldn't help but say, "Oscar, give him two slaps too."

Oscar had long wanted to slap Yu Xiaogang. For a moment, Yu Xiaogang was slapped until he was somewhat disoriented, his head spinning.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Ma Hongjun saw that it was time. He smiled wickedly, threw Yu Xiaogang onto the floor, and immediately delivered two more slaps.

After Yu Xiaogang had recovered somewhat, the three suddenly took out iron chains and tied Yu Xiaogang to a stool, as if judging a criminal.

This was to prevent Yu Xiaogang from being stimulated and rolling around wildly during what was about to happen, which would be troublesome.

Seeing their actions, Yu Xiaogang panicked. He no longer cared about his image and frantically thrashed around like a dog, trying to break free.

"Be honest with me."

Ma Hongjun kicked Yu Xiaogang, incapacitating him, and fiercely tied him to the side of the bed.

Just as they were about to uncover Yu Xiaogang's secret, Yu Xiaogang became anxious. He absolutely could not let the news of his missing root get out, or he would truly have no face to stay at Shrek.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Ignoring Yu Xiaogang's resistance, Ma Hongjun pulled down his pants.

After seeing the situation clearly, the three of them were stunned for a moment. Things had turned out beyond their expectations. They couldn't help but exclaim, "You're also..."

Now it was Yu Xiaogang's turn to be confused. Why did they use "also"?

After he reacted, Yu Xiaogang's clever mind started working again.

He immediately realized that Dai Mubai and the others in front of him were probably also in the same situation.

"Good! So it's already like that. Hurry up and let me go!"

As if he had grasped their weakness, Yu Xiaogang became tough again, speaking recklessly, completely unaware of his predicament.

"Are we giving you too much face, huh?"

Dai Mubai and the others first secretly blamed themselves for letting it slip, while Ma Hongjun slapped Yu Xiaogang's face.

This was to teach Yu Xiaogang a lesson, so he wouldn't be so arrogant every day. When you're out in the world, you always have to pay your dues.

"What exactly do you want to do! Let's keep each other's secrets and not interfere with each other. Can't you just give me reduced training tomorrow?"

Yu Xiaogang curled into a ball, continuously shrinking into the corner, his face filled with terror. It looked like disaster was about to strike.

"Xiaogang, weren't you quite arrogant a few days ago?"

Ma Hongjun first patted Yu Xiaogang's face with his fat pig's hand and said, "Now you know you were wrong? It's too late."

"Help!!!"

Yu Xiaogang immediately screamed in pain, rolling around, his eyeballs bulging, teeth gnashing and bleeding, yet he remained unaware.

"Stop! Someone will die!"

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to Yu Xiaogang's wailing. Dai Mubai and the others continued their little tricks of punching and kicking him.

When Yu Xiaogang was about to pass out, the three of them woke him up, completely ignoring his condition.

They finally made Yu Xiaogang, this beast, receive his punishment. For a moment, they felt much better.

"Next time you're arrogant, we'll punish you again."
