91: Chapter 91 Many more people also didn't want to be happy about their doting on Big Scrap Steel.

His mere 29th-rank Soul Power was no match for three Spirit Master experts at the 40th or 50th rank.

Before he could even take out the spirit tool from his pocket, E Kao snatched it away, threw it on the ground, and trampled it to pieces.

"Don't touch me! Do you know who I am?! I am a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"

Yu Xiaogang screamed hysterically, trying to use the Sect's reputation to scare them: "If you dare to touch me, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will not let you off!"

"Still the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"

Bu Le sneered, stepped forward, and snatched the manuscript of Spirit theory that he was clutching tightly to his chest: "A piece of trash kicked out of the Sect, and you still dare to bring up the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect? Not to mention that last time you claimed to be the Supreme Pontiff's ex-boyfriend. I think you haven't had enough of the brothers' love yet."

He flipped through the manuscript, glanced at it twice, then suddenly gave a strange laugh. He cleared his throat and, in front of Yu Xiaogang, began to read the content of the manuscript aloud in a mocking tone: " 'The Ten Core Competencies of Spirits', Chapter One, The Basic Logic of Spirit Mutation—oh my, is this what our theoretical Great Master relies on to swindle people?"

"Stop reading! Give my manuscript back!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes turned red instantly. He lunged forward like a madman to grab it, but was kicked in the stomach by Tian Ya and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

This manuscript was his life's work, his only remaining dignity. Having it read out in public by these three bastards and mocked so wantonly made him feel even more broken than being beaten.

But Bu Le ignored him completely. He read with increasing enthusiasm, occasionally changing a few words with E Kao and Tian Ya, mocking the content of the manuscript wildly, laughing until they were bent double.

Passersby gradually gathered at the entrance of the alley to watch the commotion. Hearing what Bu Le was reading and seeing the disheveled Yu Xiaogang on the ground, they instantly recognized him as the biggest laughingstock in Soto City these past few days. They pointed and gestured, and roars of laughter rose one after another.

There were quite a few Transmigrators mixed into the crowd.

Watching Yu Xiaogang being pressed to the ground and humiliated, and his manuscript being read out and mocked in public, these Transmigrators felt no sympathy at all. Instead, they all looked gleeful, and some even took out a few gold coins on the spot and threw them to Bu Le: "Brothers, well read! Give him something even harsher! Take this money and buy some wine!"

"Exactly! Tear up his lousy theory! Stop him from swindling people every day!"

"Keep going! We're still waiting to hear the rest!"

The three of Bu Le's eyes lit up when they saw the gold coins thrown over. They hadn't expected such an unexpected harvest before they even started. They read even more enthusiastically, and even tore off two pages of the manuscript and threw them onto Yu Xiaogang's face.

Yu Xiaogang lay on the ground, listening to the surrounding laughter and watching the scraps of the manuscript flying everywhere. He felt the world spinning, his vision went black, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, passing out completely.

"Huh? Why did he pass out?"

E Kao kicked him and curled his lip: "He really can't take it, we haven't even started showing him love yet."

"Alright, that's enough."

Bu Le picked up the gold coins from the ground, stuffed them into his pocket, and spat at Yu Xiaogang on the ground: "Let's retreat, we'll continue playing next time we meet."

The three of them, pockets full of gold coins, hummed a little tune and swaggered out of the alley, leaving behind the unconscious Yu Xiaogang and the scattered, messy manuscript fragments.

The crowd of onlookers laughed for a while, then gradually dispersed, leaving only a few kind-hearted passersby who hurriedly and clumsily lifted Yu Xiaogang up and sent him in the direction of Shrek Academy.

And all of this soon reached the ears of Gui Mengguan and the other two.

In the inn by the river, after listening to the message brought back by his subordinate, Qiangu Jue laughed so hard he slapped the table: "These three guys really stumbled into it. Not only did they block him, but they also read his lousy manuscript in public, making him vomit blood and pass out? Brilliant!"

"What's even more interesting is that other Transmigrators threw money on the spot to add to the stakes." Oupai also couldn't help but curl his lips, "It seems there are more than just the three of us in Soto City who find Yu Xiaogang an eyesore."

Gui Mengguan held his teacup, his fingertips gently rubbing the rim, a flash of realization in his eyes: "Expected. Anyone who has seriously read the original work doesn't think much of Yu Xiaogang's half-baked theories, or his hypocritical 'I'm misunderstood' posturing. Now that someone has started it, others will naturally join in the fun."

He paused, put down the teacup, and his tone deepened: "However, this also shows that there are more Loose Cultivator Transmigrators in Soto City than we anticipated. This incident has also made us realize that the vast majority of Transmigrators are against the original work and against Yu Xiaogang, which is a good thing for us. But at the same time, we must be more careful. With so many people, eyes are everywhere. Once our identities are exposed, there will only be more trouble."

Qiangu Jue and Oupai both restrained their smiles and nodded.

They knew very well that while it seemed like a group of Transmigrators were messing with Yu Xiaogang together, when it came to key plot points and core Opportunities, these so-called "like-minded" fellow countrymen would only turn into the fiercest competitors.

On the other side, Bu Le and the other two had just arrived at the casino and hadn't even had time to warm the gold coins they earned today when someone came knocking again.

This time, two Loose Cultivator Transmigrators came together. Their offer was even more generous than Lin Feng's, throwing out two hundred gold coins directly, with only one request—continue showing love to Yu Xiaogang.

The three of Bu Le looked at the heavy pile of gold coins on the table, and they were stunned.

"Big Brother, this... this is already the third wave. Will there be more later?" Tian Ya swallowed, looking bewildered, "What kind of sin did this Yu Xiaogang commit? Why does everyone in Soto City want us to show him love?"

"Who cares what sin he committed!"

Bu Le scooped the gold coins into his arms, grinning from ear to ear: "Only an idiot wouldn't make money when it's there! Once is showing love, ten times is also showing love. If there hadn't been so many people earlier, we would have already shown him love. Now, this Yu Xiaogang is our trio's long-term meal ticket! As long as he dares to step out, we dare to show him love!"

E Kao also nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of golden light: "Exactly! From now on, we don't have to do anything else, just keep an eye on Yu Xiaogang! Showing love once earns three shares of money, plus tips from passersby. This business is absolutely a sure win!"

The three looked at each other and couldn't help but roar with laughter. They poured wine on the spot, already starting to ponder what new tricks to use to show love to Yu Xiaogang next time so that the employers would be more satisfied and they could earn more money.

Meanwhile, in Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang finally slowly woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Flender sitting by the bed with a worried face.

He moved his fingers and felt pain all over his body, but compared to the physical pain, the humiliation and breakdown in his heart almost swallowed him completely.

The manuscript was gone, his dignity was gone, and he had now completely become the laughingstock of all of Soto City.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, bleeding without even realizing it, his eyes churning with monstrous resentment and madness.

He hated Bu Le and the other two, hated those who watched and mocked him, hated those who spent money to tip, hated them to the bone.

But he had no ability to take revenge, and he was almost losing the courage to even go out.

Hating to the extreme, only one last thought remained in his mind.

He had to get the secret of Luo Ke's externalized spirit, had to perfect his theory, and had to climb to the pinnacle of the Spirit Master's world.

Only in this way could he trample everyone who had humiliated him under his feet!

He suddenly threw off the quilt, ignored Flender's obstruction, pushed him out like a madman, locked the door behind him, stumbled back to his bed, and no matter how Flender called, he refused to open the door.

In the room, Yu Xiaogang poked his head out, looking at the half-wall of remaining manuscript on the wall, his eyes becoming increasingly paranoid and insane.

He would not just give up like this.

Absolutely not.

And the hustle and bustle of Soto City continued.
