Chapter 147 Yu Xiaogang's miserable situation, Tang San's poison solution
The demonic energy in the spring continued to flow into Zhu Zhuqing's body, quickly assimilating the normal soul power in her body. The form of her martial soul, the Netherworld Spirit Cat, was also constantly changing. "Dai Mubai, you are a waste, a complete villain! You deserve to be kicked out of the palace. I, Zhu Zhuqing, have been unlucky for eight lifetimes by following you."
"Thanks to the salvation of the Holy Church, I was able to see the true colors of you! Great Master! I really don't know how to express my admiration and gratitude to you."
"From now on, I, Zhu Zhuqing, have only one identity, that is: a believer of the Eastern Divine Religion! From now on, I will have no ties with anyone or anything in the Xingluo Empire. The Xingluo Dai family, the Zhu family, you all are not good people!"
“The way you select successors is complete bullshit! You don’t consider talent, contribution and loyalty, and in order to prevent yourself from being overthrown by the younger generation, you force your descendants to live in hatred and fighting each other. My current tragic experience is all due to you. I, Zhu Zhuqing, swear that I will kill everyone in the Xingluo Empire in this lifetime!” Zhu Zhuqing’s face was covered with dark magic patterns, his teeth were squeaking, and he shouted excitedly.
The rest of the people also showed the same symptoms. Even Flanders, who was originally quite rational and had some brains, appeared like this. This shows how powerful the brainwashing of the Holy Spring is.
It is really hard to imagine what would happen if Tang San, who was born with demonic energy, entered the Holy Spring. He would surely be even more unscrupulous.
The Holy Spring uses the resentment of the creatures killed by evil soul masters as its core energy supply. The higher the soul power of the killed creatures, the greater the resentment generated; the more the creatures are tortured and the more serious the slander they suffer, the stronger the resentment generated.
Fortunately, with the containment of various major forces, the Eastern Divine Cult does not dare and does not have the ability to massacre middle and high-level soul masters on a large scale. The number of normal soul masters that can be transformed by the Holy Church Spring every day is not large. Otherwise, it is hard to believe what kind of catastrophe and turmoil this will be for all living beings on Douluo Continent!
Dongfang Aoto looked at the performance of Flanders and others in the spring with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, you are all good candidates to become followers of the Holy Church! In such a short time, you have been able to form abundant demonic energy in your bodies. As far as I know, except for the people of our Dongfang family, you are the foreign soul masters who took the shortest time. How do you feel now? Tell me about your insights and gains!"
Flanders' face was filled with admiration, and he said happily, "Your Highness, Elder Otto, I feel refreshed and relaxed after my soul power was transformed into magic power. My soul power has also increased a lot, saving me many years of hard training. It will probably take only a few months to break through the bottleneck that has stuck me for seven or eight years and enter level 79."
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhang Hongruo also looked excited.
Zhao Wuji was the only exception. At this moment, he was like a wise man who had attained enlightenment in Longchang. "I feel that my greatest achievement is the sublimation of my spiritual realm. To use the words of my hometown, that is: enlightenment! My mind has never been so clear as it is now. I now understand the trajectory of the Douluo Continent and the essence of the soul master world!"
"Except for our Holy Religion, which is a pure and flawless place composed of people with noble character and great righteousness, all other places in Douluo Continent are a world of cannibalism! If I don't kill others, others will kill me. Therefore, in order to survive, all living beings in the outside world are dirty and evil. Only by opening up a new world, a paradise on earth led by the Eastern Divine Religion, can justice and light cover Douluo Continent and people can live and work in peace."
Zhao Wuji seemed to recall something painful. The scene changed and he began to recount his own experiences. "Take me for example. I, Zhao Wuji, was born into an ordinary civilian soul master hunter family. I have walked on thin ice all my life. I have lived diligently and honestly, worked hard to improve my soul power, and never let anyone down."
"I usually sell the soul beast meat I get from hunting to exchange for cultivation resources and to support my family. As my soul power continues to increase, I can hunt more and more soul beasts, sell more and more soul beast meat, and the age of the soul beasts is getting higher and higher."
"But I never expected that I would affect the interests of the local branch of the Spirit Hall because of this. It turned out that the high-level soul beast meat resources in my hometown were monopolized by the branch of the Spirit Hall. They accused me of stealing their business!" Zhao Wuji's eyes were blazing with anger and he spoke angrily on his face.
"Of course I won't agree. Why? I went through life and death just to earn some money to support my family, but I can't even do that. Why can't they let me sell soul beast meat?"
"Even though the Spirit Hall branch sent people to exclude, assassinate, and slander me many times, I was not afraid. But I never expected that they would actually attack my wife and children. My son, who was less than 3 months old, was strangled to death by them. His body was hung at the city gate, and I was not allowed to collect the body."
"Faced with this kind of thing, any man with a bit of blood in his veins couldn't stand it, so I attacked and killed the murderers of the Spirit Hall in a rage. As a result, I was wanted by the Spirit Hall and was hunted down. I had to flee day and night. Otherwise, I would never have been able to hide in a remote place like Shrek!"
"Now that I have joined the Eastern Divine Religion, I have a big tree to lean on. I am no longer afraid of the Spirit Hall! Thank you to the Holy Religion for giving me a new life. From now on, I, Zhao Wuji, will give my life to the Holy Religion!"
Dongfang Aoto was very happy to hear this, and stepped forward to pat Zhao Wuji on the shoulder, "Very good, it seems that you have really come to your senses. I didn't expect that you would have such enlightenment and wisdom without receiving any education from the Holy Religion system."
"You are right. Except for us, the Holy Church, all other creatures are evil. Only by killing them all, can peace come to Douluo Continent! Wuji, I am very optimistic about you!"
Zhao Wuji wanted to make progress so much, and when he saw that Dongfang Aoto was optimistic about him, he immediately bowed down and pleaded with great emotion.
"Thank you for the compliment, Director Tuo. It is because of your good teaching that I am where I am today! Wuji has been wandering for half his life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to be your foster father! I will serve you at your side, and I will go through life and death for you without hesitation!"
It is said that there is gold under a man's knees, but that is because he has never touched the gold. Now that the gold is right in front of him, Zhao Wuji naturally does not want to let it go.
"Wuji, please pay attention to your image in public. We will discuss this matter later. Don't worry, as long as you serve the Lord faithfully, the Holy Church will not treat you unfairly. The same goes for you, Flanders."
Dongfang Aoto was indeed very optimistic about Zhao Wuji, who was very "conscious", talented, and had decent combat power. He did not agree at this moment, not only because he wanted to continue the investigation, but also because he knew that the young leader Dongfang Rengui did not like Shrek Academy, but it was not against Zhao Wuji. If Zhao Wuji could make some achievements in the future, he would not suggest asking the young leader to let Zhao Wuji go.
"Thank you, Lord Steward. Although I am not good enough yet, I will definitely work harder to serve the Holy Church and be loyal to you, Lord Steward. In my heart, you are my reborn parent!" Zhao Wuji continued to lick madly, not caring about the astonished looks of Flanders and others.
As for Yu Xiaogang, he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Holy Spring. As soon as he woke up, he was dragged to clean the toilet. His legs had long lost sensation, so he had to crawl on his hands, cleaning with a broom hanging from his teeth.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough," Yu Xiaogang couldn't stand the stench that was so bad that he started coughing loudly. The more he inhaled, the more stench he felt, and the more uncomfortable he felt.
"Snap, snap!" Several harsh sounds rang out. The whip soaked in gold juice hit Yu Xiaogang's back one after another. His already dirty and tattered clothes could not withstand the attack and broke into several pieces. His entire back was bloody and covered in gold juice, which almost marinated Yu Xiaogang.
"Ahhh, help, help!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly screamed, his body curled up and twitched. "What are you doing? If you scare the believers who are going to the toilet, can you bear the responsibility? What are you looking at? Why are you standing there? Get up and work! The Holy Church takes care of your food and drink, but it doesn't allow you to cheat!" It turned out that the night incense worker in charge of the toilet in the menial area was punishing Yu Xiaogang for being lazy.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang's embarrassed appearance, the night incense workers laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha! Look at this Yu Xiaogang, doesn't he look like a dog?"
"It's still a useless old hook!"
"I heard that he was a level 29 spirit master before, but now he is cleaning toilets like us."
"Hey, that's not right. Although we are cleaning the toilet, we are formal night-time perfume workers. No matter how many people from the outside world want to come in, they can't!"
"Yes, yes. Yu Xiaogang is just a non-staff member. He can be fired at any time. If the Holy Church doesn't take him in, he will starve to death within three days. He will be worse off than us."
“I heard from Yu Xiaogang that he has a disciple who is a Soul Venerable and a sworn brother who is a Soul Saint. Both of them are masters of the Yellow level area. They will be promoted to the Mysterious level area or even the Earth level area in the future. We are ordinary servants without soul power. Will we be retaliated against?” One of the night incense workers was a little worried.
"What are you afraid of? Dragons have never lived with snakes since ancient times. He is just like us, a beast without soul power. How could he possibly know such a great man? Don't you think about it? If he really did, would he have fallen to this point today?"
"I see, I see. This kid actually dared to lie to me. I'm going to teach him a lesson!"
These night incense workers had long been ordered to take good care of Yu Xiaogang, and to beat him to death as long as they could. The night incense workers were already at the bottom of the Holy Church, and were bullied every day. They had no place to vent their grievances. Now that someone who could be bullied by them had finally come, they took out all the grievances they had suffered on a daily basis on Yu Xiaogang.
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, sir, please spare me, spare me! I'll do it right away, right away." Yu Xiaogang no longer dreamed of becoming the think tank of the Eastern Divine Religion. He was completely convinced and crawled towards the night incense workers, begging for forgiveness.
"Woof woof woof woof! I, Yu Xiaogang, am a dog, an old dog! Woof woof woof!" Yu Xiaogang quickly imitated the dog's barking, just to ask for less beating. This kind of person is a bully, and he is a coward in his bones. Just beat him into submission.
Yu Xiaogang regretted his decision to death at this moment. If he had known what the outcome would be today, he would never have come to the Eastern Divine Religion. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy life in Shrek? As for Tang San's strange disease being incurable, he would die if he died. How could his life be as precious as Yu Xiaogang's?
He originally thought that he could bargain with the Eastern Ninja Ghost and discuss the treatment, but he didn't expect that the other party would not pay any attention to him at all. The people sent to arrange work also treated him as air. He was beaten without saying a word. Now he was sent to sweep the toilet and was bullied every day. However, everything is too late now. The Eastern Divine Religion is not a place where you can come and go as you please.
"Flanders, you are such a heartless guy. We are sworn brothers! Now that I'm being treated like this, you don't even come to help me, you ****! And that Zhu Zhuqing, Zhang Hongruo..., after all, I am your teacher, and you actually watched me suffer and turned a deaf ear to it! I wish all of you will be like me, with your soul power destroyed and your lifespan shortened!" Yu Xiaogang cursed viciously in a low voice.
What Yu Xiaogang didn't know was that after being immersed in the Holy Spring, Flanders and the others had already become half evil soul masters, their personalities had changed drastically, and they didn't take action to kill Yu Xiaogang out of consideration for their brotherhood.
……
Five days later, the poisons in Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were collected by the Eastern Divine Religion. They were infected by the Holy Religion Pool and officially joined the Eastern Divine Religion.
Tang San was even more thorough. Other soul masters could only transform normal soul power into demonic energy after soaking in the Holy Teaching Pool.
For someone like Tang San who had a natural demon seed, it only took one soaking for the demon seed that was previously injected by Dongfang Aoxie to mature, and completed the perfect fusion of the demon seed and demonic energy, officially becoming an evil soul master and a Xuan-level believer of the Eastern Divine Religion.
"In the first few days after becoming an evil soul master, my speed of absorbing soul power increased greatly, and it has reached the level of the five-year-old soul power that had not been abolished. But since this morning, for some reason, I can't absorb soul power in the air. I have tried all kinds of simulated training grounds in the Holy Church, but there is no effect. Even the Little Sunflower Treasure Book and Xuantian Gong have no effect. What should I do? Could it be the sequelae of the strange disease?"
Tang San was extremely anxious, "I still have too many grudges to take, and I haven't established the Tang Sect yet. I can't do this!" Tang San checked his body again and again, but did not find anything abnormal.
"Impossible, how could we be like this? The Tang Sect's poison is invincible, why can't we find anything abnormal?"
"There's no way the strange disease I have is not strange. Even if I have syphilis, it can't be so serious that it requires a Soul Douluo-level healing system to solve it. What's more, the symptoms don't match!" After Tang San calmed down, he gradually realized that he was not sick normally.
"Someone must be trying to frame me, but who can come up with a toxin that even the Tang Sect's poison technique can't break, and can't even find any abnormalities?"
"Could it be the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? Ning Rongrong and I don't have a good relationship, so they poisoned me?"
"Or is it the person who attacked my second brother when he was 5 years old, or is it the soul beast Xiao Wu?"
"Could it be the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan? But I don't have any conflict of interest with them. Apart from their branch of the Mission Pavilion in Soto City, I have never seen anyone with the surname Zhuang. It shouldn't be the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan. Perhaps I can post a mission and ask the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan to help me check, but the Holy Church may not agree to it, after all, they have to save face. Although the young leader promised to help me check, there is no news for such a long time."
Tang Sanbai was puzzled.
