Chapter 198 Ordinary Yu Xiaogang (2 in 1)

After an unknown amount of time, at the Spirit City's street side.

"No, don't!"

Yu Xiaogang, who was leaning his back against a bench, suddenly woke up with a start and rubbed his body to rise straight up, his face was pale, and his chest was heaving as if he just had a nightmare. In the next moment, almost subconsciously, he catalysed his spirit power and summoned his martial soul, but there was no response.

"My martial soul, it's really been crippled." He murmured with slight bitterness and disbelief.

Gritting his teeth, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the Supreme Pontiff Palace that towered into the clouds, his eyes glowing red, "Bibi Dong, you're so heartless."

Slowly standing up, he looked around his surroundings, it should be a small street garden for passersby to rest. At this time he was sitting on a bench on the side of the stone-paved path in the centre of the lawn, the sun was setting, the night was about to fall, and there were not many people around.

As if thinking of something, he hurriedly raised his feet and walked towards the street.

'Bibi Dong already knows Xiao San's identity and has begun to have murderous intentions. If I let Xiao San continue to participate in the tournament, I'm afraid that his life will be in danger. The Martial Spirit Hall might not directly send people to attack and kill him during the tournament, but the Martial Spirit Hall battle team can create accidents in the arena. Even if Xiao San leads the team to win and Bibi Dong's plan falls through, when the Spirit Master Tournament is over, they may send people to intercept and kill them on the way back.'

'If I let Bibi Dong's plans come to fruition, it would really be all over by then!'

'Moreover, this is, after all, the territory of the Martial Spirit Hall.'

Thinking of this, his face flushed with anxiety, 'No! I have to hurry and stop Xiao San from competing. With Xiao San's talent, as long as he doesn't die, when he grows up in the future, he will still be able to become famous on the continent and fulfil my long-cherished wish.'

Thinking like this, his footsteps steeply accelerated.

Before he could walk for a while, "Cough..." The complexion of his face became even paler, and he gasped for breath.

Ghost Douluo's spirit power attribute was gloomy and cold, and at the same time that it abolished his martial soul, it also caused some damage to his body. Although the physical body had been supported by two hundred years spirit rings, due to the usual negligence of exercise, and close to half a hundred years old age, his body function has long declined a lot, previously he relied on the spirit power in the body to maintain health, and now there is no spirit power, all the drawbacks were revealed all at once.

His body was now very weak!

After resting for a while, Yu Xiaogang continued to walk forward.

Not long after, "Grumble." A soft sound came from his abdomen, he was hungry.

Several hours had passed since he was thrown onto a bench on the street by the temple guards.

Raising his head, he glanced at the already somewhat dark sky, 'Let's first find a hotel to rest for the night. It will take at least a few more days for the large troops to arrive now, so it's not too late to leave in the morning.' Between his thoughts, he turned around and walked in the other direction.

Without taking a few steps, his feet suddenly stumbled again, and he hurriedly touched his waist, sighing quietly in relief while his face turned bitter.

His spirit tool hadn't been taken away by the escorting guards, so the gold soul coins placed in the spirit tool shouldn't have been lost.

However, he now had no spirit power as his martial soul was crippled.

Without spirit power, he couldn't open the spirit tool, and couldn't take the money inside.

And without money, he couldn't stay in a hotel or eat, which was problematic!

After pondering in place, he continued on his way, turning a street, the lights suddenly brightened up ahead, and as far as the eye could see, there was a public board with a new announcement posted right in the centre. At this time the night had already fallen, and it was mealtime, so there was no one stopping to look at it.

Yu Xiaogang instantly recalled Bibi Dong's previous sentence, his pupils shrank, and his body trembled a bit.

After looking left and right, he hurriedly walked forward to take a look.

"Mu Xiaogang, formerly known as Yu Xiaogang" His lips were trembling as he finished reading, and his face was already ashen in colour, Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt a blockage in his heart, followed by a twinge of pain in his chest, and a mouthful of reverse blood suddenly surged upwards, "Pfft!" He spat it out violently from his mouth, colouring a large portion of the notice red.

What kind of place is the Spirit City, the holy land of almost all the spirit masters in the continent, it is also the largest gathering place of the spirit masters belonging to the Martial Spirit Hall. Moreover, this is the period when the continent-wide Spirit Master Tournament is being held, and in a few days, the Spirit Master Academy teams of the two major empires will arrive at the Spirit City, and they will all see this notice, and they will all know that he took the Pope's Order of Unknown Origin and entered the Supreme Pontiff Palace for an audience with the Pope and that he had contradicted the Pope with his rhetoric. After the Spirit Master Tournament was over, this matter would spread throughout the entire Spirit Master world as the teams from the major academies returned.

To contradict the Pope, this alone was enough to make the Martial Soul Hall's affiliated spirit masters view him as an enemy.

Not to mention the other follow-up implications that could arise, such as other forces turning their backs on him, such as his reputation

"Bibi Dong, you're completely destroying me." Yu Xiaogang murmured in pain.

Then, with his hand covering his chest, he quickly turned around, 'Although this matter has spread, very few people in Spirit City know me, or else it would have been impossible for me to slumber on the bench for so long before peacefully. However, just in case, I still need to leave as early as possible to meet up with Xiao San and the others. The most important thing I need to do now is to take out the money within the spirit tool and purchase some food for the journey.'

Not long after, he came to a fountain, washed his face and tidied up his clothes.

Then, he quickly rushed to a location near the city gates, where there was a reception that the Martial Spirit Hall had specially built for this Spirit Master Tournament. No civilians would be allowed to watch the finals, so the spectators who came were all spirit masters from all over the world, and of course, most of them were spirit masters affiliated with the Martial Spirit Hall.

To allow these spirit masters to watch the tournament in an orderly manner, the Martial Spirit Hall had specially constructed a reception centre near the city gates.

In addition to doing a better job of guiding and providing some assistance, the main thing was to issue free tickets labelled with seat numbers, to prevent overcrowding and seat-grabbing incidents from occurring. Of course, the reason for the free tickets was also to befriend and draw in casual spirit masters.

As for the spirit masters who came from the two empires to participate in the tournament, there would be a dedicated person to greet them on the day of their arrival.

When he walked into the reception, perhaps because it was night, there weren't too many people.

Yu Xiaogang made a gesture of covering his chest with his hand and came to sit down on the side, waiting for fewer people before walking to an unoccupied counter.

The one who sat behind the counter was a very sweet-looking young female spirit master, seeing someone approaching, or a middle-aged man with a somewhat pale and haggard face, who seemed to have been injured, she immediately showed a trace of worry on her face, and inquired in an extremely gentle tone.

"Sir, may I ask how I can help you?"

Yu Xiaogang took down the purse-shaped spirit tool from his waist and handed it forward, lowering his voice, "I'm a senior spirit master academy team leader who came to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament, and because of personal matters, I rushed to Spirit City ahead of schedule, and I was injured in the middle of the journey by a spirit beast, so I can't use my spirit power right now. This is my spirit tool, containing... I think this is enough to prove that this spirit tool is my personal belonging."

"Please help me take out the clothes and money inside."

"Sir, please wait a little longer." The female spirit master took the spirit tool and urged her spirit power to probe, it was indeed as described by Yu Xiaogang, most of the items inside were books, and there were also some miscellaneous items, including the uniform of the Spirit Master Academy, as well as some gold soul coins.

However, why would there be adult diapers inside?

Without much thought, the female spirit master immediately took out the gold soul coins and clothes as per Yu Xiaogang's request, then used the bag inside to pack the things along with the spirit tool, and handed it over to Yu Xiaogang with a smile, saying crisply, "Sir, here, take it."

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and took the parcel, directly turning around and walking away.

"." The female spirit master froze instantly, eyeing Yu Xiaogang's departing figure, pouting her cheeks, "This person's temper is really weird."

Early in the morning of the next day, when the sky was still cloudy, Yu Xiaogang hired a carriage to drive out of the city gates.

Looking back towards Spirit City, he gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering, 'Bibi Dong, since you are so ruthless, then don't blame me. So what if you abolish my martial soul? When Xiao San grows up and steps on the peak of the Spirit Master World, the world will only remember my success.'

'Remember that I taught a genius capable of destroying your Martial Spirit Hall.'

The carriage moved forward slowly, the time was gradually approaching night, and the night road was difficult to travel, so the coachman parked the carriage on the meadow next to the official road. Unloading the carriage and tying the horse to a tree trunk with a rope, the two of them got into the carriage and ate some dry food before wrapping up and resting.

After an unknown amount of time, "Ow." A wolf howl suddenly echoed through the air.

"Neigh." Followed by the panicked neighing of a horse.

The two were instantly awakened.

"Lord Spirit Master, the next thing can only be relied on you to take over." The coachman looked towards Yu Xiaogang with a cautious face, he was just an ordinary person, or else he wouldn't be working as a coachman in the Spirit City. In Spirit City, some of the dirty jobs that could bring convenience still needed to be performed by ordinary people like them. Fortunately, those who hired carriages in Spirit City were generally all Spirit Masters, so safety was guaranteed along the way.

"Occasionally, there will be some wild boars, wolves and other wild beasts stray around this official road, but they are not considered spirit beasts, so I think Lord Spirit Master will be able to handle them easily." The coachman timely flattered him, lifted the blanket and got up to make room.

Yu Xiaogang put away the panic in his eyes, and without moving, he picked up the bag on the side, the coachman is an ordinary person, so he could not see his movements in the night. "Wait here, I'll be right back." While saying that, he bent down and walked out of the carriage.

"Yes, Lord Spirit Master." The coachman responded respectfully and then poked his head out of one of the side windows.

Preparing to take advantage of the faint moonlight to glimpse Yu Xiaogang's heroic performance.

Immediately, he saw a black shadow running to the bottom of a tree not far away at a very fast speed, tying off the rope wrapped around the tree trunk, rushing to the side of the panicked horse and flipping onto the horse, his body clinging to the horse's neck, and his hands tugging on the unstrapped reins.

The whole action was done in a single breath, and with a high neighing sound, the horse ran.

"Damn, I'm going to fuck you up!" The coachman immediately burst out in foul language, rushing out of the carriage as fast as he could.

With a glimpse of the few wolf shadows that surrounded him, he scrambled up the tree.

After all, it wasn't a spirit beast, and it didn't know how to climb trees, and based on his experience, as long as he lasted through the night in a tree, he would be basically fine.

***

Fortunately, when he was travelling before, he accompanied Erlong to learn horse riding. Yu Xiaogang who was on the other side celebrated secretly.

The next moment, "Ow." A wolf howl suddenly came from behind him, followed by a succession of howls, the horse was immediately frightened and ran even more recklessly and wildly.

Without a saddle, when the horse ran so wildly, Yu Xiaogang's body was instantly a little unsteady, and the entire lower half of his body was upside down and left the horse's back. Immediately after, "Hiss!" His lower part smashed on the support of the horse, and he grimaced in pain. The bag tied behind his back was also overburdened, bobbing up and down.

After a few swings, "Plop!" The dried food, gold soul coins and other hard objects in the bundle broke free and burst out.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt a sense of relaxation behind his back and then panicked, the baggage contained his money, dry food, and spirit tool. When he subconsciously tried to turn his head, "Plop!" With a sound, he hit the stepping part on the horse.

"Ah!" With a grunt of pain, his hands instantly loosened.

His entire body was thrown out.

"Ah ah ah ah," A miserable scream was heard as the body hit the gravel-filled ground and rolled continuously.

With difficulty, he crawled up, only to feel a burning pain in his back, buttocks, side of his face, as well as the side of his limbs, and the left arm that first landed on the ground was even worse as if it had lost consciousness, and he couldn't exert any strength at all, 'Broken bones!' This thought flashed through Yu Xiaogang's mind all of a sudden.

The danger of having no spirit power and being injured, and the location being a wild area in the middle of the night, he knew it very well.

'I, Yu Xiaogang, must not die in such a place.' Gritting his teeth, he took a difficult step towards the back.

Step by step, through the moonlight, he retrieved the things that had been dislodged along the way and repacked them.

'I must find a water source to clean my wounds and then bandage them, or else they will absolutely become inflamed.' Having once accompanied Flender, and Liu Erlong duo to wander through the continent. He naturally knew quite a lot of wild survival knowledge, the survival laws in the spirit beast forest that his own disciple Tang San knew were all still taught by him. Taking a step, Yu Xiaogang followed the official road and continued to walk forward, with good luck, he found a not-so-small puddle by the side of the road.

In June, it was the rainy season, and this kind of puddle was all stagnant water after the rain.

"It's quite clean." Yu Xiaogang instantly sighed in relief, took out a piece of clothing from his baggage and shaped it into a ball, one side was dipped into the puddle, then he picked it up and used the other side to align with the wound, squeezed hard, and after a simple filtration, the clean water instantly flowed down.

"Hiss!" The intense pain immediately caused Yu Xiaogang to suck in a cool breath.

However, he still endured the intense pain and cleaned the debris from the wound piece by piece.

Finally, it was the right arm's turn, the left arm was already fractured and could not aid in the process, so he could only endure the pain and rub himself on the wet clothing.

After doing all this, he walked along the meadow on the side of the official road, picking herbs that could be used for external compresses along the way. After spending nearly an hour, the wound on the body was finally treated with chewed herbs, and tied with torn clothes relying on vines and cloths.

After changing into a new set of clothes, covering his left arm and enduring the fiery pain all over his body, he buried himself into the laid-out pile of grass.

'Bibi Dong, all this, I'll count it all on you!' At this moment, towards Bibi Dong, towards the Martial Spirit Hall, he was only filled with hatred.

The next day, a thick coolness hit his body, and Yu Xiaogang woke up suddenly.

Tick Tick Tick, the sound of the rain falling low.

He hastily removed the pile of grass covering his body, enduring the severe pain, he got up and ran towards the big tree on the side. "Clattering" The rain quickly fell heavily, pouncing on Yu Xiaogang who was close to the big tree, soaking the upper half of his body quickly, the rainwater trickled down his pale cheeks.

Clutching his bag, Yu Xiaogang shivered as he ate the dry food in the rain.

Gazing at everything in front of him, his eyes were dull and blank. In the past, when he was at the Nuoding City Spirit Master Academy, he wouldn't look at those civilian spirit masters and didn't bother to teach them. But now, it seemed as if being able to possess spirit power was already an extremely happy thing. If he possessed spirit power, he wouldn't have had to run at all when facing those few wolves that weren't even spirit beasts before, and he would have been able to chase them away by casually releasing a spirit skill.

When he encountered such a rainy day, he wouldn't have felt so cold!

"It's all because of Bibi Dong, how dare she be so ungrateful and let someone abolish my martial soul!" Clenching his teeth, his eyes gradually turned red.

Time passed little by little, it was only near noon that the sky suddenly cleared up, the sky in June was like that, it would change at the drop of a hat.

However, the coldness on Yu Xiaogang's body did not change because of this, he was already freezing with a bloodless face and purple lips.

When he walked out of the big tree and bathed in the mild sunlight, it seemed as if he had ushered in a new life, but in his heart, he felt a chill, brimming with resentment, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Bibi Dong, I won't die, I will watch as Xiao San destroys everything you have, and overthrows the Martial Spirit Hall!"

Taking firm steps, he walked onto the official road, staggering forward.

On the third day, on the wide official road, the rolling sound of large wheels resounded, and the ground trembled a little.

And in the distance directly in front of the troop, was a figure swaying forward, his right hand covering his left arm, walking in a strange posture, just like a walking corpse.

"Eh? There is a person in front." The sergeant walking in front to open the way quickly discovered the person coming ahead.

"You, go and take a look." The officer next to him immediately spoke out.

"Yes!" The sergeant received the order and hurriedly pulled the reins, riding the white horse to accelerate closer.

"Bibi Dong, I won't die... I have to watch Xiao San set foot on the peak of the Spirit Master World... I will prove that I am not a waste to the continent..." Yu Xiaogang wriggled his lips, stating words without sound. His face was as pale as paper, his lips were purple, and the clothes seeped with thick liquid on his back, thighs, and other locations. His eyes were blurred, but his feet were still moving forward, step after step.

"Ta Ta Ta" The sergeant quickly approached, and when he saw the face of the person, he was startled.

He knew this person, he was also present during the advancement round.

Hastily turning back, he shouted, "Reporting to the chief, this person is Shrek Academy's team leader, Mu Xiaogang!"

"What!?" The knight who was addressed as the chief was instantly taken aback.

Perhaps hearing someone shouting his name, Yu...No. Mu Xiaogang's body shook and tilted steeply.

Not long after, a mournful scream rang out from afar, "Xiaogang!"

"Oooooooo, Xiaogang, how did you become like this?"

"Xiaogang's spirit power has been abolished by someone."

"What! Who, who did it!"
