Chapter 108 Yu Xiaogang's Determination_2

As expected.

Just a blusterer.

"No, it's not like that..."

"I just think it's somewhat..."

Yu Xiaogang hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Qin Xiao.

"If you're worried, then forget it."

"Without even this much courage, how can you ever become great?"

As he spoke, he stood up, ready to walk out of the room.

"Your Highness, please wait, Xiaogang is just uninformed..."

Taking courage, Liu Erlong blocked Qin Xiao's path, his eyes filled with a plea.

"Xiaogang, what are you doing!"

Flander also looked anxious. "You might not know, but previously all of Shrek's students were zapped by His Majesty the Thunder Emperor, and now they are all jumping around lively."

"Even one student has increased over ten levels in cultivation since enrolling."

Hiss...

Yu Xiaogang took in a breath of cold air, had they really improved that much?

Then what was there to hesitate about?

Let's do it!

"Your Highness, please wait..."

Yu Xiaogang, with a face full of grievous injustice, forced a smile, "Your Highness, it was my mistake just now, please don't forgive me, just give me one chance."

"No matter how painful it is, I can definitely endure it."

After saying this, he also gave Liu Erlong a look for help, who immediately understood, "Your Highness, Xiaogang has realized his mistake, please give him one chance."

Qin Xiao remained unmoved.

Thump.

Yu Xiaogang, even more resolute, knelt directly in front of Qin Xiao and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I'm begging you!"

Qin Xiao was still unmoved.

Yu Xiaogang was stunned, thinking, could it be that my prostration was required?

"Thud!"

With resolve turning into action, Yu Xiaogang did not hesitate anymore and gave Qin Xiao a kowtow with a loud thump.

"Ah, why bother doing this?"

Qin Xiao sighed, "When I didn't say anything just now, it meant I had already agreed."

What!

Yu Xiaogang looked up in shock.

Then why didn't you say it sooner?

He felt conned.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiao had retaken his seat, looking at Yu Xiaogang and saying, "Since you're prepared, then let's start."

"Okay."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and was just about to stand up when Qin Xiao stopped him.

"Stay kneeling, because in a little while you might not be able to stay on your feet."

"This..."

Yu Xiaogang's face showed a hint of astonishment, but he chose to keep silent.

"Your Highness, could you start a little lighter? I'm worried Xiaogang can't handle it."

Hm?

What surprised Qin Xiao was that these words of concern were not spoken by Liu Erlong, but by Flander.

"Alright."

Qin Xiao nodded, then snapped his fingers, and a slender arc of electricity landed on Yu Xiaogang.

Electroshock therapy had begun.

So sudden? Yu Xiaogang only felt a blur before him, and then a tingling and numb sensation spread throughout his whole body.

Thump...

The next moment, Yu Xiaogang could no longer control himself, and he collapsed to the ground, starting to convulse.

Even...

He began to foam at the mouth...

"Your Highness, Xiaogang, he won't have anything wrong, will he?"

Panic and anxiety crossed Liu Erlong's face.

"Er Long, you needn't be too nervous, there's nothing to it," Flander quickly said. "His Majesty the Thunder Emperor has already been merciful according to Xiaogang's physique. You may not know, but originally Ning Rongrong endured even more of the Thunderclap Refinement Force than Xiaogang."

"Is that so?"

Feeling reassured by Flander's words, Liu Erlong relaxed quite a bit.

Ning Rongrong, an Assistant Soul Master over level 20, could withstand it, so Xiaogang, a Battle Soul Master of level 29, should be fine, right?

However.

To Liu Erlong's surprise, Yu Xiaogang, who was continuing to convulse, stopped shaking and tilted his head to the side, fainting.

Ah, what...

Liu Erlong stared with wide eyes, standing still, somewhat at a loss, "Wasn't it said to be alright, how come it has become like this?"

"Your Highness, this..."

Flander also froze; he obviously hadn't anticipated such an unexpected event.

"Ah, in the end, I misjudged him..."

At this moment, Qin Xiao finally spoke up.

Truth be told, he was really surprised; Yu Xiaogang's talent was not just poor but had reached the extreme.

This body had no potential left at all.

If he didn't take Immortal Herbs, there truly was no possibility of a breakthrough.

"Your Highness, Xiaogang—he?"

Liu Erlong looked towards Qin Xiao and asked anxiously.

"It's hopeless, in this lifetime he shouldn't even dream of breaking through to level 30."

Qin Xiao shook his head.

"What, really not possible?"

Liu Erlong was struck as if by a thunderclap, disbelief written all over her face.

"Your Highness, could you try again? Might there be different results? Maybe, he just might break through?"

After calming down, Liu Erlong said somewhat unwillingly.

"Try again?"

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, "I don't have a problem with trying, but he might not be able to handle it, you know. If there's no potential left in the body, Electroshock Therapy won't only be without benefits, but it will also drain his life span!"

"Just that one time earlier, Yu Xiaogang has lost two to three years of his life."

As Qin Xiao's voice fell, the room instantly quieted down.

Liu Erlong and Flander both showed a stunned expression on their faces.

They hadn't suspected that Yu Xiaogang would pay such a price!

"Now, do you still want me to use Electroshock Therapy on him one more time?"

Qin Xiao looked at the two and asked.

Should they try once more?

Liu Erlong hesitated. Yu Xiaogang's cultivation level was already low, and his constitution wasn't strong; normally, he didn't have many years left to live. But if life was overdrawn, could it hasten his downfall?

If they failed again, wouldn't it be a waste of life for nothing?

She subconsciously looked towards Flander, hoping he could help make a decision.

"Ah, I think we should just forget about this matter," said Flander with a sigh, "With Xiaogang's condition, it's best to live one more day as it comes."

"No, I don't want that!"

"His Majesty the Thunder Emperor..."

"I, believe, I'm still okay, I want to try again!"

Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang's voice resounded intermittently among the crowd.

Everyone looked over to see that Yu Xiaogang had already opened his eyes.

In his eyes, there was actually a glint of determination.

And he even managed to stand up, though unsteadily.

"Xiaogang, are you alright?"

Liu Erlong couldn't help but advise, "His Majesty has already said, if you keep insisting, there will be no benefits for you..."

"No, Er Long, I heard everything His Majesty said. I want to tell you clearly now, I have to persist."

Yu Xiaogang's tone was more determined than ever.

"Have you gone mad?"

"You need to understand, you're burning away your lifespan now. If you keep on like this, there's a real chance you might die."

Flander became anxious as well, not expecting Yu Xiaogang to be so stubborn, "Cultivation and strength, those are ephemeral; only living truly matters."

"No, Flander, you don't understand!"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, "To me, the most important thing is to break through to above level 30 in terms of cultivation level."

"Also, you don't know, but despite the price I paid just now, my cultivation level has increased a tiny bit. It might seem small, but it's an improvement I haven't seen in decades."

"I have a premonition, as long as I keep holding on, I'm sure to break through the barrier of level 29 and reach level 30!"

What!

Hearing this, both Liu Erlong and Flander fell silent.

When Qin Xiao heard these words, only two came to mind: he wanted to laugh.

He had long seen that even if Yu Xiaogang used up all his life span, it would still be difficult for him to break through to level 30, and even if he reached level 30, how long could he live?

It had to be said that Yu Xiaogang had become obsessed with improving his strength and shedding the label of a failure.

Finally.

After exchanging a glance, Liu Erlong and Flander made a decision.

"We support your decision."

"Rest assured, I definitely won't disappoint you. When the time comes, I will prove to everyone on the continent that I, Yu Xiaogang, am not a failure. My theories are the truth!"

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly and then turned to Qin Xiao with a solemn voice, "Your Highness, please help me again."

To this, Qin Xiao didn't refuse, simply nodding his head.

He was quite curious to see what kind of feelings Yu Xiaogang would have when he realized his failure.

Crack.

A flash of electricity fell upon Yu Xiaogang.

In contrast, Yu Xiaogang clenched his teeth, yelling resolutely, "Not enough, again!"

"Hit me hard, don't show me any mercy!"
