Five days later.
Bang!!!
"What are you good for? Five days, five days! You still haven't found a single piece of information! What good are you to me?!" Second Master Yu Luo Mian slammed his hand heavily on the table, spittle flying onto the faces of the few people in front of him.
"Second Master Yu Luo Mian, this… this really can't be blamed on us. We investigated many people in Heaven Dou City. Some people saw the Dean and Yu Xiaogang leave Heaven Dou City, but then they weren't seen again.
And the Dean, the place where he died was indeed quite remote." One person was very aggrieved. During this period, he had been investigating outside, even eating outside, exhausted to death.
"What about Yu Xiaogang's matter? Did anyone see him near Heaven Dou City?"
"This… someone saw Flender carrying him into the city, but it's hard to say if he was found outside Heaven Dou City." This person shook his head.
Yu Luomian frowned: "It seems all the problems this time will fall on Yu Xiaogang. As long as Yu Xiaogang wakes up, we'll have a general idea."
"Second Master Yu Luo Mian, we should make our move," the First Elder said.
"Yes, Second Master Yu Luo Mian, today is already the fifth day. We can't wait any longer. In twenty days, it will be the Element Academy's competition. Yu Ze didn't even manage to form a team before he died, and we still need to handle this matter.
Although the Five Element Academy competition isn't very important, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reputation is still needed. At least the top two," the Second Elder immediately said.
Yu Luomian nodded: "Regardless of whether we can get answers from Yu Xiaogang today, the team must be formed. Select the candidates according to the competition, and this team will also be the team for the Soul Master Competition one year from now."
"What about the students Yu Xiaogang brought?" the First Elder asked.
"No matter what, they are already students of our academy. Let them compete together. Although they don't have Thunder-attribute Spirits. I only care about results now. Whether they are our direct descendants or not, they can go," Yu Luomian tapped on the table.
"Understood." The Second Elder nodded.
Many in Thunder Academy were from the Yu family of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but there were also other Thunder-attribute Spirit Masters, though fewer.
The Thunder attribute itself is a violent attribute, so Thunder-attribute Spirits are basically all power attack-type Spirits.
This led to Thunder Academy genuinely lacking other types of Spirit Masters.
For example, among support, Thunder Academy only had two control system Spirit Masters; all the rest were power attack Spirit Masters.
If someone were to exploit this weakness, it would truly be disastrous, lacking good coordination.
"Let's go, we'll go meet my nephew."
Inside Yu Xiaogang's room, the air was stagnant.
Yu Luomian stood with his hands behind his back, and behind him, two Elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stood tall. The pressure of a Spirit Douluo-level powerhouse made the temperature of the entire room seem to plummet.
Flender stood by the bed, his brows tightly furrowed, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Yu Xiaogang and Yu Luomian. Finally, under the latter's stern gaze, he could only grit his teeth and retreat.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Yu Xiaogang, his eyes filled with worry.
Yu Xiaogang couldn't die yet; his gold coins hadn't arrived.
The door closed.
Yu Luomian stared at Yu Xiaogang on the bed, the disgust in his eyes undisguised.
He slightly raised a fingertip, and a wisp of lightning, like a venomous snake, shot out, instantly Binding Yu Xiaogang's body.
"Ugh— Ah!!!"
Hearing the screams from the room, Flender quickly left. This had nothing to do with him; it was all Yu Xiaogang's own doing. As long as he didn't die, it would be fine. He was leaving.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly arched his body, a heart-wrenching scream squeezed from his throat. The lightning wasn't fatal, but it was like maggots clinging to his bones, making every inch of his flesh convulse in agony.
His consciousness was forcibly dragged back, the blurry ceiling in front of him gradually becoming clear, while the lightning on his body still roamed, stimulating his muscles to twitch uncontrollably.
"Yu Xiaogang!!!" Yu Luomian roared angrily.
Yu Xiaogang was startled, trembling as he turned his head. When he saw the three people standing by the bed, his pupils suddenly constricted, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.
"Se… Second Uncle… Elders…" Yu Xiaogang's voice was hoarse beyond recognition, his body instinctively shrinking back.
After all, Flender wasn't taking care of him; he just did things casually. The rest was handled by people Flender called over, otherwise, with Yu Xiaogang's cultivation, there would be feces and urine everywhere.
Yu Luomian sneered, then suddenly leaned down, grabbing his collar and lifting him up, "Yu Xiaogang, how dare you!!!"
Amidst the angry roar, thunder boomed, making the entire room hum.
"Se… Second Uncle, what… what are you saying?" Yu Xiaogang was confused; his mind hadn't caught up yet.
He seemed to remember seeing Yu Ze die, but why was he here now?
And why were Yu Luomian and the two Elders here?
"Yu Xiaogang, you're still pretending! Did you find someone to kill Yu Ze?!" Yu Luomian directly questioned him.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's heart sank.
No, how would he know?
Also no, if it were Yu Luomian and the Elders, if they knew the truth, they would have killed him long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.
Yu Xiaogang understood them too well.
It seemed they wanted to scare him.
The expression on his face slowly became panicked: "Second Uncle, it has nothing to do with me. Yu Ze and I went out to find treasures, but when we passed through a forest, we were ambushed. It's just that I'm useless, no one cared about me, so I came back."
"It really has nothing to do with me."
Yu Xiaogang's acting was truly good; Yu Luomian watched for a long time but found no problems.
Yu Luomian frowned: "Did you see who it was?"
Yu Xiaogang cursed Yu Luomian's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart. Sure enough, he was trying to scare him. He almost died. Flender and the others were really something, not waking him up sooner to talk about it.
"This… they all wore… uh, masks, and their Spirits… were varied, probably assassins." Yu Xiaogang stammered.
"Useless!" Yu Luomian threw Yu Xiaogang heavily onto the bed.
Yu Xiaogang felt a pain in his back. Just as he was about to turn over, he realized there was something wrong with his body.
His gaze slowly moved downwards, falling on his left arm, only to find it empty.
In an instant, his breathing stopped.
His left arm was gone!
"Ho… ho…" A few broken gasps escaped his throat, his pupils violently constricted, his face visibly paling at a rapid rate, and all the blood in his body congealed at that moment.
Yu Luomian looked at him with disgust: "Look at you, so useless that you can't even protect your own left arm. A person like you cannot enter our Yu family's genealogy. No one will agree."
"No… no… no!!!"
