Soul Land: I Became the Pope from the Beginning

Chapter 114: A Soul Skill That Can Only Be Used Twice In A Lifetime

In the blink of an eye, another week passed.

Under Flender's persistent, dog-like coaxing, Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang forgave Flender's actions.

Although Flender didn't know what he had done wrong, as long as Liu Erlong forgave him, it was fine.

Moreover, all members of the Shrek Seven Devils, except for Ning Rongrong, who didn't get an Immortal Herb, were Soul Ancestors, and Dai Mubai even successfully broke through to level 50 and became a Soul King within a week.

Now, the Shrek team was incredibly strong, with two Soul Kings, four Soul Ancestors, and one isolated level 35 Soul Elder.

The most joyous news for Yu Xiaogang was that his body had recovered today, and he would become a level 30 Soul Elder as soon as he absorbed another soul ring.

Not long after, Flender, in his Four-Eyed Owl form, flew back, carrying a Thunderclap Beast that had just broken through to a thousand-year level, with its limbs broken and jaw torn open.

"Xiaogang, this is a Thunderclap Beast that just broke through to a thousand-year level. It can summon lightning attacks, and its age is just right. Go ahead and absorb it, Xiaogang."

To restore his image in Liu Erlong's eyes, Flender had put in a great effort to catch this Thunderclap Beast.

This type of Soul Beast only appears near areas rich in lightning elements, and such places are rare, let alone the Thunderclap Beast itself.

"Mm, put it on the ground."

Liu Erlong calmly glanced at it, nodded casually, signaling that Flender could leave and that she wouldn't dwell on the events of the past few days.

"Alright, I'll go train the little monsters first."

Seeing that he wasn't welcome there, Flender didn't say much and could only silently wish Liu Erlong happiness.

After Flender left, Liu Erlong eagerly threw the Thunderclap Beast onto the ground, a joyful smile on her face, and looked at Yu Xiaogang, saying, "Xiaogang, quickly kill this Soul Beast and absorb its soul ring."

"Okay."

Yu Xiaogang thought of finally breaking through to Soul Elder, so excited that his knife trembled as he plunged it into the Thunderclap Beast's heart.

As a purple thousand-year soul ring ascended, Yu Xiaogang hastily adjusted his mindset, but the joy of his impending breakthrough made it impossible for him to stabilize his emotions.

The suppression of being a Soul Grandmaster for decades and being called a good-for-nothing for decades was something others could not comprehend.

Drawing the thousand-year-old soul ring to his body, Yu Xiaogang began to absorb it.

With Liu Erlong guarding him, Yu Xiaogang wasn't afraid of any accidents.

He became a bit careless, after all, how difficult could a thousand-year soul ring be? It was still several hundred years short of his self-imposed limit of 1760 years.

Just at the critical moment, Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, letting out a scream, and blue electric arcs lit up on his body.

"Zzzzzah!"

As Yu Xiaogang's soul-stirring cries echoed, in just a few seconds, before Liu Erlong could even react, he had already started rolling his eyes from the electric shock.

Below him, a foul-smelling liquid and a yellowish-brown viscous substance flowed out; he had lost control of his bladder and bowels from the shock.

"Xiaogang!"

Watching Yu Xiaogang still twitching, Liu Erlong, deeply concerned for him, reached out but was immediately shocked, abruptly pulling her hand back.

Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Liu Erlong could only secretly pray that Yu Xiaogang would endure.

"Xiaogang, hold on."

Yu Xiaogang was twitching and spraying uncontrollably at this moment. Fortunately, Flender and the Shrek Seven Devils weren't here; otherwise, Yu Xiaogang would truly have no face to stay in this place.

"Hold on... Ahhhhh!"

Before he could finish his words of encouragement, Yu Xiaogang began frothing at the mouth from the electric shock. Before losing consciousness, Yu Xiaogang used all his strength to say to Liu Erlong, "Quickly grab me, help me share the burden, I can't take it anymore."

After speaking, regardless of whether Liu Erlong had heard him clearly, he directly grabbed Liu Erlong's arm to save his life.

"Mmm-ah!"

Liu Erlong was a Soul Saint after all, so a thousand-year-old Soul Beast could only make her feel a tingling sensation.

But who would want to be struck by lightning for no reason? Was he a masochist?

However, seeing Yu Xiaogang painfully lose consciousness, Liu Erlong gripped Yu Xiaogang's arm tightly, helping him share the pressure.

After a while, nine-tenths of the lightning power contained within the soul ring was shared by Liu Erlong, and only then did Yu Xiaogang barely succeed in absorbing it.

Yu Xiaogang, in a daze, was awakened by Liu Erlong. He then felt his Soul Power break through and hurriedly summoned Luo Sanpao to confirm.

When a purple soul ring appeared, Yu Xiaogang finally felt truly relieved.

He had become a level 30 Soul Elder!

Because a significant amount of the soul ring's Soul Power was consumed midway, Yu Xiaogang only became a level 30 Soul Elder, gaining no level increase from absorbing the soul ring.

"Xiaogang, you're finally awake."

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was fine and had successfully broken through, Liu Erlong shed tears of excitement; Xiaogang had finally broken free.

"Xiaogang, what's your third Soul Skill?"

At this moment, although Yu Xiaogang was covered in a foul odor, he didn't care at all, standing with his hands behind his back.

His voice suppressed with excitement, his third soul ring lit up, and a chant suddenly appeared in his mind, making Yu Xiaogang unable to help but shout it out.

"Heaven-Shaking Earth-Shattering Luo Sanpao, Heaven-Collapsing Earth-Sinking Thunderclap Fart!"

As Yu Xiaogang recited the chant, his face immediately darkened. What was this?

Didn't he already have a farting Soul Skills? Why was this still a farting one? Where was the lightning element from his soul ring?

Before Yu Xiaogang could put on a mask, he saw Luo Sanpao's body suddenly double in size, but only his belly.

"Oh no!"

Yu Xiaogang immediately felt a bad premonition. He was about to escape, but it was too late.

Boom! Rumble!~

A powerful airwave spread outwards from the small forest as its center, so loud that the entire Shrek Academy heard it.

"What's going on? Did it thunder on a clear day?"

Everyone at Shrek Academy looked up at the sky, which was bright and sunny, with no sign of thunder.

They then left, bored.

Liu Erlong, at the center of the explosion, was in a terrible state, completely permeated by the blast. Yu Xiaogang's smaller body couldn't withstand it and was blown away.

The entire small forest was uninhabitable, the pervasive stench scaring away all the birds and beasts.

"Xiaogang, where are you?"

Both of them had been directly hit and were too dazed to open their eyes, so they could only grope around based on sounds. Finally, Liu Erlong seemed to trip over something.

Immediately, she heard an "ouch."

On the ground was Yu Xiaogang, who had been blown away.

"Xiaogang, is that you?"

Hearing the movement, Liu Erlong immediately fumbled on the ground.

"Ouch, you stepped on my foot."

Yu Xiaogang let out a cry of pain and slowly crawled up from the ground, grimacing. As soon as he opened his eyes, the stench made tears stream down his face.

"Let's get out of here quickly."

This place was unbearable. Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong groped for each other, stumbling and tripping, finally leaving the small forest.

After a good while, they finally opened their tear-blurred eyes.

"Cough cough, this Soul Skill injures enemies a thousand times but harms oneself ten thousand times. What use is it to me?"

Yu Xiaogang knelt on the ground, muttering to himself. Moreover, he had just discovered that Luo Sanpao's stinky and loud fart could only be released once every fifty years.

Only twice in a lifetime, and he had just used it. The next time would require another fifty years of accumulation, by which time he would already be in his grave.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but roar at the sky.

"No!!!"
