Yu Xiaogang and his "waste recycling station" team stood there blankly at the entrance of Su Xin's courtyard.
Each of them seemed frozen in place, their faces blank and filled with disbelief.
What were they originally here for?
Oh, right, I'm here to show off.
After a month of intense competition, Ma Hongjun and Auska finally broke through to level 30.
Yu Xiaogang felt that her "theoretical teaching" had achieved a great victory in this phase.
So he couldn't wait to bring them to Su Xin's place for a "friendly" exchange, and incidentally to regain some of the face he had lost before.
He even thought of his lines.
What about "a promising young man"? What about "practice is the sole criterion for testing truth"? What about "the cultivation of a Soul Master ultimately requires being down-to-earth and taking one step at a time"?
He planned to use the real improvement in his students' levels to give Su Xin, that pretty boy who only knew how to play around with girls, a good slap in the face.
He looked at the two stunningly beautiful girls in the courtyard, both exuding the aura of a level 30 Soul Master.
Then look at the silver-haired man beside them, who has a calm and collected expression, as if everything is within his expectations.
Yu Xiaogang felt like a clown who had meticulously prepared for a long time, wanting to go on stage and perform.
As soon as the curtain was drawn back, they discovered that what was being performed on the stage opposite was an epic drama personally directed by the gods.
My ridiculous tricks are a complete joke in front of others!
Ma Hongjun swallowed hard.
He looked at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, whose faces, made even more beautiful and radiant by their breakthroughs.
Then look at our side, because of a month of high-intensity training, we are all covered in dust and dirt, looking like brothers who have crawled out of a coal mine.
A huge sense of frustration and powerlessness welled up in his heart.
"This...this is fucking ridiculous, what the hell are we even doing?!"
The fat man let out a desperate wail in his heart.
They worked themselves to the bone, torturing themselves for a month, before barely breaking through one level and reaching level 30.
What about over there?
He eats and drinks delicious food every day, plays the piano, paints, and travels.
As a result, they broke through!
Moreover, judging from the intensity of the soul power fluctuations and the solidity of the aura, it was clearly much stronger than his and Oska's!
What does this mean?
This shows that their foundation is much more solid than theirs!
How is this still playing?
They're not even on the same level!
"Let's go... let's go!"
Yu Xiaogang's face changed unpredictably, alternating between green and white.
Finally, he practically squeezed out those three words through clenched teeth.
He felt that if he stayed there for even a second longer, his already fragile self-esteem would be crushed to pieces.
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back, his back view filled with embarrassment and panic.
Dai Mubai and the others, dejected as ever, followed along like defeated roosters.
In the courtyard, Ning Rongrong watched their disheveled departing figures and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Teacher Su, look at them, they're so funny."
The little girl clung to Su Xin's arm, laughing so hard she was shaking.
"I was hoping to see what they were doing there, but they ran off without saying a word."
"What else could they be here for?"
Zhu Zhuyun, standing beside her, gave her a charmingly disdainful look and said coolly.
"They must be looking over there. Someone broke through, and they want to come here to show off."
"Unexpectedly, we gave them a 'double surprise,' which scared them away."
Chapter 48, Third Mission - Target: Star Dou Great Forest
Just then, the mechanical system notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed Task Two: The Sweat of Hard Work!]
[Mission Rewards: Grandmaster-level Poisoning Skill, Grandmaster-level Healing Skill, already issued!]
Su Xin felt a sudden surge of joy.
After waiting for so long, it's finally here!
He suppressed his excitement and maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface.
His consciousness had already sunk into his mind, and he began to check the rewards that the system had just issued.
Two massive torrents of information instantly flooded his mind.
One of them is about "poison".
Starting from the most basic level, it involves the identification and medicinal analysis of various poisonous plants, insects, and substances.
At the intermediate level, there are methods for preparing various mixed poisons and hundreds of bizarre methods of poisoning.
Then there are the most profound poisons, those that only exist in legends, colorless and odorless, capable of killing upon contact with blood, and even able to directly erode the soul!
For example, there are things like "Smiling Half-Step Stun", "Three Corpse Brain God Pill", and "One-Day Death Powder"...
All sorts of vicious things that could only be seen in martial arts novels from my previous life are available!
It even contains detailed records of the formulas and... antidotes for the unique poisons that the Tang Clan is so proud of!
"Hey hey hey..."
When Su Xin saw this, he almost burst out laughing on the spot.
"Tang San, Tang San, your greatest reliance, besides your twin martial souls, isn't it just that Tang Sect poison technique you brought from your previous life?"
"These little tricks of yours are nothing but child's play to me!"
"From now on, let's see how you dare to play those underhanded tricks in front of me!"
Su Xin felt a surge of relief. He then looked at another piece of information related to "medicine".
If "poisoning" is the art of destruction.
Therefore, "medical skills" are the miracles created.
This information is equally all-encompassing.
Starting from the most basic methods: observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation; acupuncture and massage.
At a higher level, they can set bones, restore blood vessels, and bring the dead back to life.
It even includes an illustrated guide to all known and unknown medicinal herbs on the continent, along with their most perfect methods of consumption!
For example, how should one take "Qiluo Yujinxiang" to maximize the quality of their martial soul?
How should the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fierce Apricot Blossom be combined to achieve the miraculous effect of tempering the body with ice and fire immunity?
Besides enhancing mental strength, what other unknown uses does the "Forgotten Autumn Dew" have...?
In the original novel, Tang San regarded this knowledge as his greatest secret and opportunity.
Now, in Su Xin's mind, it's like an encyclopedia that he can consult at any time!
Su Xin let out a fierce shout in his heart.
This reward is so timely and awesome!
With these master-level poison and medical skills...
In the future, if he dislikes someone, he'll poison them with some strange and unusual poison, making them wish they were dead.
If someone catches your eye, just casually bestow upon them a magical herb, allowing them to undergo a complete transformation and ascend to heaven in one step.
The feeling of being able to control other people's lives and destinies at will is simply wonderful!
Especially when he saw that the medical section also included methods for treating various difficult and complicated diseases.
For example, meridian disorders, backlash from martial spirit, and... erectile dysfunction...
A devilish smile curled at the corners of Su Xin's mouth.
"Tang San, there is hope for your 'illness'."
"However, whether to save her, when to save her, and how to save her depends on my mood."
Su Xin had already begun to plan how to use this to properly "torture" him.
Just as he was immersed in immense joy, the mechanical system notification sounded again.
[Ding! Task 3: Footprints of Growth, has been released!]
[Task Description: Obtain your first Soul Ring.]
[Mission Reward: All Soul Rings' Age Increased by 1000 Years!]
Su Xin was once again amused by his own silly yet adorable system.
When Su Xin saw the mission rewards, his eyes lit up instantly.
All spirit rings' lifespan increased by 1000 years?!
This reward is pretty awesome!
Su Xin's heart started pounding uncontrollably.
His first martial soul, the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, is now equipped with nine soul rings.
