Chapter 8: The Execution Begins

[The traitor Cao Cao lives on, his spirit endures. (Sent: Level 10 Soul Power)]

Holy crap, bro, you're so stupid.

[Holy crap, bro, do you need any accessories? I'd be your dog.]

……

Li Wei shouted excitedly, "Thank you, Brother Cao, for sending me level 10 soul power!"

That's 100,000!

He came in without saying anything and immediately gave a reward of 100,000 Soul Power.

This person must be incredibly wealthy.

[The traitor Cao Cao lives on, his spirit endures: those who execute him well will be rewarded.]

"Alright, brother, I'll get started right away."

Li Wei didn't hesitate any longer and controlled the camera to simultaneously cover both him and Yu Xiaogang.

"Snapped!"

Li Wei raised his hand and slapped Yu Xiaogang across the face, causing it to swell up visibly.

"Hey, still not awake?"

"Snapped!"

Li Wei slapped him again with his backhand, making both sides of his face symmetrical now.

Yu Xiaogang finally woke up slowly, but his mind was still a bit fuzzy, and his consciousness was still stuck on the ever-growing fist and the ghostly face behind it.

Yu Xiaogang felt dizzy and wanted to rub his temples, but his hands felt like they were bound, and his body also had a strange feeling of weightlessness.

It looks like he's been hung up.

"You, you, you..."

As Yu Xiaogang gradually regained consciousness, he was terrified when he saw the ghostly face so close to him. He began to struggle frantically, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.

Look how scared the child is! Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd seen a ghost.

[You know what, the streamer wearing a ghost mask suddenly jumping out and punching him wasn't much different from seeing a ghost.]

[Holy crap, I think I missed something really exciting.]

……

"Yu Xiaogang, I heard you're a theoretical master. How about we play a game?" Li Wei's voice sounded a little hoarse due to the modifications made by the Bad Guy outfit.

"Who are you."

When Yu Xiaogang heard him speak, his fear lessened considerably.

Li Wei: "You have no right to ask questions."

"Do you know who I am? I am the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect Master. You'd better let me go right now, or you'll regret it."

Yu Xiaogang's face was contorted in a ferocious expression.

"Bang!"

"vomit……"

Li Wei punched him hard in the stomach, making Yu Xiaogang gag.

"Didn't you often say you were almost forgetting your own name, and everyone called you Master? How come you remember your surname when you're in danger?"

I strongly suspect that's how he got his reputation as a master.

[As expected of Gangzi, he's willing to forget his own surname just to be called a master. His vanity is unparalleled.]

"Cough cough..."

Yu Xiaogang coughed repeatedly after gagging, looking extremely pained.

"Luo..."

"Bang!"

"vomit……"

Just as Yu Xiao was about to release her martial spirit, Li Wei interrupted her with a punch:

"continue."

"out……"

"Bang!"

"vomit!"

Li Wei kept interrupting the spellcasting, then quietly watched him finish.

"You bastard, who are you?"

Yu Xiaogang glared at him through gritted teeth, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Li Wei flipped his right hand, and an ordinary longsword appeared in his grasp, pressed against Yu Xiaogang's neck: "Didn't I say you have no right to question me?"

"Coo coo..."

A flicker of fear flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.

【No, you're already chickening out?】

Dude, don't just stand there and talk like you know what's going on. You'd be a coward if you tried it yourself.

Those who understand the times are wise.

Li Wei continued, "I'll emphasize again, you have no right to ask questions. From now on, if you ask a question, I'll cut off one of your fingers."

And don't even think about releasing your farting pig, or don't blame me for crippling your martial spirit. Level 29 soul power is hard-earned, so cherish it, understand?

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, his heart burning with boundless rage, yet he dared not vent it.

He cannot die.

We finally waited so long for Tang San, and finally saw a glimmer of hope.

He absolutely cannot die.

"very good."

Li Wei laughed and said, "There's nothing serious about arresting you today. I just heard that you claim to be the number one theoretical master on the mainland, so I wanted to discuss academic matters with you."

Let's not talk about anything else, just your "Ten Core Competencies". If you can convince me, then you'll be fine. If not...

Li Wei paused slightly, looked him up and down, and finally fixed his gaze between his legs: "Leave your manhood here."

Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously squeezed his legs together.

"You, you, you..."

Yu Xiaogang had traveled across the mainland for many years and had never seen such a vicious person.

"What? No confidence?" Li Wei mocked.

Yu Xiaogang smiled dismissively: "I may not be good at talking about other things, but when it comes to theoretical knowledge, if I, the master, admit to being second, no one would dare to admit to being first."

"Snapped!"

Li Wei slapped him across the face: "I don't like the way you're acting now."

A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of Yu Xiaogang's mouth.

Wow, that slap and those words were so cool!

[The streamer is practically a born villain.]

[What's going on? The anchor's here! What do the main character and Dog Three have to do with this?]

……

Li Wei asked, "What was the first of your ten core competencies again?"

"Innate soul power is directly proportional to the quality of one's martial soul."

Yu Xiaogang's tone gradually calmed down, as if he had regained his former confidence and pride.

"Oh, right."

Li Wei nodded: "What makes you claim this is your research? Didn't anyone discover this before you, and is there no record of it?"

Yu Xiaogang: "???"

Shouldn't you be arguing whether my theory is right or wrong?

Why do you care if anyone discovered it before?

"Snapped!"

Li Wei slapped him again: "Speak up, did you leave your vocal cords at home?"

Yu Xiaogang hesitated, unable to speak.

"hehe!"

Li Wei sneered, "So you also know that this is a well-established fact in the Soul Master world, and you're nothing but a plagiarist seeking fame and fortune, right?"

"You're talking nonsense..."

"Snapped!"

Li Wei slapped him again: "Be civilized. Stop using such vulgar language. So you chose your soul skills purely out of personal preference?"

[Pfft... I can't laugh anymore.]

It seems Gangzi does know what's going on; otherwise, he would at least have offered some excuse.

That's precisely why it's disgusting, isn't it?

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath: "All my theories are conclusions drawn from years of study and research. What makes you think I'm a plagiarist?"

Li Wei said, "Tell me if this theory is something that everyone generally agrees on."

"you……"

Yu Xiaogang was furious. He never expected this guy to have such a tricky angle, not even discussing the right or wrong of the theory itself.

Li Wei scoffed, "You still say you're not a plagiarist? Taking accepted information as your own research results, where do you get the nerve?"

"You... huff huff huff..."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing became rapid and heavy involuntarily.
