Upon hearing this, all the Shrek Academy students turned their attention to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang already disliked Yu Chen intensely, and now that he had finally found an excuse, he immediately spoke with a cold smile.
“I originally thought he was at least somewhat intelligent.
I never expected him to do such a despicable thing as attacking people from behind and harming them in secret.”
“Such behavior is utterly shameless!
This kind of person is the scum of the Soul Master world!”
Upon hearing this, Tang San’s face darkened.
After all, his most proficient techniques, such as hidden weapons, all rely on sneak attacks, which is not much different from Yu Chen’s.
If Yu Xiaogang were to hurl insults at him, wouldn’t he be included in the insults as well?
“Tch, that sounds so high-sounding.”
Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and retorted without any politeness.
“It was clearly Yu Kun who bullied people first by taking advantage of his status and withholding Yu Chen’s gold soul coins.
If he hadn’t gone too far first, would Yu Chen have targeted him?”
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang’s face immediately darkened, and his tone became more serious.
“So what?
Yu Kun only took some resources, and Yu Chen is just an ordinary person who is not qualified to receive the sect’s resources at all.”
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong was too lazy to argue with him anymore.
She simply snorted and looked up at the sky again.
At first, she was also quite shocked by Yu Chen’s actions.
But after calming down, I felt a strange sense of appreciation.
Patience, composure, and decisive action.
This personality is so similar to her previous personality as the little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi, far away at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, looked at Yu Chen in the sky with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
In his view, Yu Chen’s most terrifying quality was never his ruthlessness, but rather the terrifying nature of his rationality.
At such a young age, he was able to summarize such amazing theories; when he was bullied, he could endure it without changing his expression, without rushing to retaliate, but secretly making arrangements, step by step finding the most suitable opportunity to strike back.
With this kind of mindset and composure, as long as he doesn’t perish prematurely, he is bound to achieve great things in the future.
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi felt even more regretful.
“I wish I could have a son like that.”
The images on the celestial screen shifted once more.
The next morning, Yu Chen got up, washed, and went out as usual, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Even though he was feeling a little excited about the upcoming next phase of the experiment, he forcibly suppressed all his emotions, just so no one would notice anything amiss.
It wasn’t until the afternoon that Yu Chen arrived at the wooden house alone and went into the basement.
[In the basement, Yu Kun was tightly bound to a chair, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging on his forehead.]
“You damned bastard!
How dare you treat me like this!”
“Do you know what the consequences are for harming your own kind?!”
“If you know what’s good for you, release me right now!
Otherwise, once I recover my soul power, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
[Faced with Yu Kun’s curses, Yu Chen’s face remained completely unmoved.]
[He calmly walked to a table, picked up a glass that had been prepared beforehand, then stepped closer to Yu Kun, knelt down, pried open his mouth, and forcefully poured the dark liquid from the glass into his mouth.]
[This is the Bone-Corroding Vine Juice that Yu Chen specially extracted for Yu Kun.
It can damage Yu Kun’s throat without endangering his life.]
[After the liquid entered his mouth, Yu Kun’s entire face contorted in pain.]
The feeling was like a ball of fire burning down his throat, the intense pain causing his whole body to convulse.
[Within just a few breaths, Yu Kun could no longer bear it and fainted from the pain.]
Yu Chen simply watched all of this quietly, her expression remaining unchanged from beginning to end.
Seeing Yu Kun faint, Yu Chen slowly got up, walked to the corner of the wall, and pushed the trolley over.
Then, he picked up a tiny, almost invisible knife from the cart.
[At this moment, the second phase of theoretical research officially begins.]
In the first few days, no one in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan noticed that Yu Kun was missing.
After all, it’s perfectly normal for Soul Masters to sometimes go out for training.
[A month later, with still no news from Yu Kun, some within the sect began to suspect something was amiss, and the sect’s stewards subsequently launched an investigation.]
Throughout this entire process, Yu Chen did not reveal the slightest flaw.
He still ate on time, went to the library on time, and returned to his lodgings to rest on time.
Even though he secretly longed to stay in the cabin every day to conduct experiments, he forcefully suppressed that urge.
[It wasn’t until a year later, when the matter of Yu Kun’s disappearance gradually subsided and no one pursued it further, that Yu Chen was able to fully unleash his potential and devote almost all his time to his research.]
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Yu Chen was unusually excited.
He got up at the crack of dawn, quickly washed up, and then hurried towards the cabin.
But halfway there, someone blocked his way.
That person was none other than Yu Xiaogang.
Since awakening his martial soul four years ago, Yu Chen has never seen Yu Xiaogang or Yu Yuanzhen again.
Yu Chen didn’t care about this.
Just as he was about to walk around him, Yu Xiaogang suddenly stepped forward, blocking his path once again.
“We’re brothers, after all.
Don’t rush off as soon as we meet.”
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, chin raised, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
In his view, he was, after all, a Soul Master with Soul Power.
[And Yu Chen was just an ordinary person without even soul power.]
If it weren’t for the fact that their family background couldn’t be changed, he would never want to admit that this good-for-nothing was his own brother.
“What is it?” Yu Chen asked calmly.
“It seems you’re quite out of touch; you haven’t even heard about my exploits.”
Yu Xiaogang raised his head, his words brimming with undisguised smugness.
“I have now successfully evolved my martial soul through my own wisdom!”
Yu Chen had heard about this, but he didn’t think it had anything to do with him.
He merely glanced at Yu Xiaogang, his tone remaining indifferent.
[“so what?”]
Upon hearing these three words, Yu Xiaogang’s smug expression froze.
He clearly hadn’t expected Yu Chen to react this way.
“Don’t be ungrateful.”
Yu Xiaogang frowned, and his tone became more condescending.
“I can give you a chance to become a Soul Master.”
“As long as you’re willing to cooperate with my experiment, I promise…”
Before Yu Xiaogang could finish speaking, Yu Chen had already lost interest in listening further.
He simply stepped aside and walked towards the wooden house ahead.
“Damn it!”
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang became furious and embarrassed.
He suddenly turned around, pointed at Yu Chen’s back, and began to curse.
“A piece of trash who isn’t even a Soul Master dares to talk back to me like that?!”
“If it weren’t for the fact that we’re twins and therefore of higher research value, do you think I’d even say a word to a piece of trash like you?”
“Since you’re so ungrateful, you might as well just be a good-for-nothing for the rest of your life!”
[But ahead, Yu Chen’s steps did not falter.]
He didn’t even bother to turn around and reply to Yu Xiaogang’s insults.
[But Yu Xiaogang’s mention of twin brothers and their research value caused Yu Chen to pause in surprise for a moment.]
