Soul Land: I Became the Pope from the Beginning

Chapter 111: Xiaogang's Screams Echo Through the Night

"Ahhh!"

Before long, Yu Xiaogang also let out a bloodcurdling scream, his thin body lying on the ground, covered in red lines of blood.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he was radiating heat as if he had been roasted, but a suffocating stench assailed them.

"Ugh!"

Even Liu Erlong, wanting to help Yu Xiaogang, had to stop and watch from a distance.

It was too smelly! It was simply too smelly!

Tang San also hurriedly picked up Xiao Fei, instantly leaping thirty meters away from Yu Xiaogang, and had Flender conjure a wind to push the stench back.

Liu Erlong also gazed deeply at Yu Xiaogang, who was writhing on the ground, covered in a foul odor and the black mud that had already secreted from his body.

Yu Xiaogang was rolling in the black mud, somewhat like a real pig, and then a purple light flashed beside him.

Luo Sanpao was also feeling hot all over; Yu Xiaogang couldn't bear it alone, so he could only let Luo Sanpao share the burden with him.

"Roar, roar, roar."

Luo Sanpao painfully rolled over to Yu Xiaogang's side, rolling together in the black mud, continuously splashing the black, foul-smelling mud.

Tang San and Liu Erlong had dodged it, but Dai Mubai and the others, who were still lying down, suffered terribly, covered in the foul mud, emitting a pungent stench.

"Pfft! What is this stuff!"

Dai Mubai was the first to wake up, his head spinning. Ignoring the swelling and soreness all over his body, he felt something smeared on his face, sticky and gooey. He touched it with his hand.

He grabbed a handful of black mud and sniffed it at his nose.

"Ugh~"

The overwhelming stench went straight to Dai Mubai's brain, even smellier than the feet of those big men in the Heaven Dou special prison.

It was enough to make him vomit up the first milk he had ever drunk when he was born.

"What exactly is this stuff?"

Ma Hongjun was also abruptly awakened by Dai Mubai's action, ignoring the soreness in his body, he hurriedly crawled outwards.

It was too smelly, so much so that it stung his eyes shut.

The other Shrek members were also roused by this pervasive stench, and one by one, disregarding the soreness and swelling in their bodies, they crawled out.

"Xiao San, what exactly is going on?"

Looking at Yu Xiaogang rolling in the mud pit, Liu Erlong could no longer hold back, her eyes filled with anger as she questioned Tang San.

"The teacher probably fed Luo Sanpao too many carrots in the past, and some of the accumulated impurities in his body transferred to the Teacher. This Immortal Herb is cleansing his essence and marrow, helping Teacher expel impurities from his body."

Tang San confidently spoke the pre-prepared explanation, then pointed at Yu Xiaogang, who was still in excruciating pain and said, "Look, Teacher's aura is still growing. If this continues, he will soon break through to level thirty and become a Soul Elder."

"So that's how it is."

Liu Erlong, hearing what Tang San said, looked at the painfully writhing Yu Xiaogang, a flicker of unbearable emotion in her eyes. However, for Xiaogang to shed his reputation as a good-for-nothing, Liu Erlong could only turn her head away, unwilling to watch the struggling Yu Xiaogang.

She was afraid that if she kept watching, she would be unable to resist interrupting Yu Xiaogang's only chance to become stronger.

If Yu Xiaogang failed, he might be severely disheartened and eventually run away again, leaving her.

"Can you make Xiaogang suffer a little less?"

Even though Liu Erlong turned her head away, hearing Yu Xiaogang's bloodcurdling screams, she couldn't bear it and looked at Tang San, disregarding her image, asking somewhat pleadingly.

"No, this can only be done by the Teacher himself. I believe the Teacher has a strong will and is persistent in his actions; he will get through this."

Tang San's tone was firm and unquestionable. Of course, there was a way, but he didn't want to help.

Because to get close to Yu Xiaogang, he would have to endure that foul stench, which would make him collapse. Unless it was for Xiao Fei, he wouldn't make a move.

"Sigh."

Liu Erlong sighed helplessly, sitting quietly to the side, trying to calm her mind and patiently waiting for Yu Xiaogang to finish absorbing.

But Yu Xiaogang's wails and howls made it impossible for anyone to calm down. She could only helplessly watch Yu Xiaogang roll and scream.

Watching Liu Erlong's deep affection, Flender couldn't help but feel a little sad. If Liu Erlong could care for him like that, it would be wonderful.

But he still sighed helplessly in his heart.

Alas, Liu Erlong's heart ultimately belonged to Yu Xiaogang; he would never obtain it in this lifetime.

However, he would still protect Liu Erlong; being friends was already very good.

At this moment, Dai Mubai and the others, supporting each other, also limped to Tang San's side, their bodies cleansed of the foul mud by their Soul Power.

"Tang San, I feel sore all over right now, like I'm about to die. Is your Immortal Herb guaranteed?"

Yu Tianheng winced in pain with every movement, clearly the Immortal Herb's medicinal power had pushed their bodies to their limits, and their internal meridians had suddenly expanded several times, becoming dead meridians.

Dai Mubai was also somewhat confused. Why was the absorption of this Immortal Herb different from his previous life? In his previous life, he absorbed it easily, but in this life, it almost killed them.

They looked incredibly swollen all over as if they had been injected with water, especially Ma Hongjun, who already looked like a pig.

Now he looked more like a pig than a pig, his facial features distorted, no longer resembling a human.

"This is because the medicinal power hasn't dissipated yet. Come over, and I will help you remove the last remaining violent medicinal power."

Seeing the four pig-headed figures in front of him, Tang San gently placed Xiao Fei, whose medicinal power he had already dispersed, onto the ground.

He had the others lie down in the same way and began to disperse their Soul Power.

This continued until night, listening to Yu Xiaogang's occasional weak screams, Tang San, enduring his impatience, finally healed all four of them.

"Haha, I've broken through to level forty!"

Ma Hongjun, who had just recovered, felt his own Soul Power and immediately became so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He, Ma Hongjun, was at level forty!

"I'm level forty-nine; I'll be able to break through to Soul King soon."

Dai Mubai also casually stretched his sore arms, speaking with a touch of arrogance and unrestraint.

The Immortal Herb was still that Immortal Herb, it was just that absorbing it caused pain.

Oscar also stood up, his eyes shining brightly. Now, he is many times stronger than he was yesterday.

"I'm level forty, just like Fatty."

"I'm also level fifty, and the speed of absorbing Soul Power has also increased significantly."

Yu Tianheng immediately began meditating on the spot, discovering that the speed of absorbing Soul Power had also increased significantly, at least twice the original speed.

"This Immortal Herb has improved your aptitude. Now, our cultivation speed might even be slightly faster than those with innate full Soul Power."

Tang San didn't understand why their cultivation speed had increased so much, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only attribute it to the Immortal Herb also being strengthened in this life.

At this moment, the six Shrek members were immersed in joy, none of them paying attention to Yu Xiaogang, who was still emitting faint screams. They also didn't know why Yu Xiaogang insisted on staying awake; wouldn't it be better to just pass out?

Yu Xiaogang also wanted to pass out, but the medicinal power had excited Luo Sanpao. When Luo Sanpao was excited, he would also feel excited, so he couldn't pass out at all.

Even if he passed out, Luo Sanpao would suddenly wake him up, so he could only helplessly endure the pain he shouldn't have to endure.
