Capítulo 638: Chapter 636: Yu Xiaogang's Wisdom, Turning the Tables - Part 1

When Brock and Bi Bidong came to look for Xu Ran together, Xu Ran was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something as he looked at Brock's remorseful expression.

Brock could not have been unaware of what those elixirs meant, yet he acted as if nothing had happened.

It seemed Brock had learned to be shrewd.

"How did you come here?" Xu Ran pretended not to know, and asked curiously.

"Xu Ran, I'm sorry, your elixirs were damaged—my bad." Bi Bidong said apologetically, feeling Xu Ran's gaze, she embarrassingly lowered her head. She was extremely remorseful, feeling that she had let Xu Ran down.

"Xu Ran, actually it's all my fault, I was the one at fault. I didn't understand your good intentions before, but after hearing Dong'er's explanation, I realized that everything you did was for my sake. I thank you for that." Brock said. A flash of gloom in his eyes disappeared swiftly.

But soon he eased his mind; he had now learned to be shrewd.

Xu Ran, the bastard, was always trying to set him up, just to make him lose his temper and thus worsen his image in Bi Bidong's heart.

As long as he maintained a calm mind at all times, he would be immovable like a mountain.

And now that he had seen through Xu Ran's tracks, it would be impossible for Xu Ran to use these tricks against him again. He had now learned to think on his feet, no longer afraid of Xu Ran.

"Hm?" Xu Ran sized Brock up, shrugging his shoulders. Did Brock really think that was all he had up his sleeve?

Seeing that Xu Ran had yet to make a statement, Bi Bidong thought he was unwilling to forgive Brock and immediately pleaded on his behalf.

"Xu Ran, Brock was naive before, which is why he offended you. I hope you can forgive him for my sake." Bi Bidong's imploring eyes turned toward Xu Ran.

"Fine, I can let bygones be bygones regarding the past matters," Xu Ran said magnanimously. Since Brock was prepared to retreat in order to advance, he would not be polite either.

"Young Master Xu Ran is truly a handsome and noble gentleman, with a character that makes us feel ashamed." Brock paid his respects to Xu Ran with all due ceremony, and while Bi Bidong wasn't paying attention, he gave Xu Ran a meaningful look.

That look was brimming with self-satisfaction.

He wasn't like his foolish disciple Tang San, who would lose his bearings with a single provocation from Xu Ran.

Brock considered himself a sage.

He would adapt to the situation. What did it matter if he acknowledged Xu Ran as his benefactor now or apologized to Xu Ran? As long as he could win Bi Bidong's heart, then he would be the victor.

The battle between him and Xu Ran was over Bi Bidong, the Beautiful Pope. Winning Bi Bidong meant he was the victor; losing her meant he was the loser.

And as long as he held onto this concept and continued to maintain a humble attitude in front of Xu Ran, Xu Ran could not harm him.

With his and Bi Bidong's relationship, as long as he kept his conduct in check, Bi Bidong would not abandon him.

This was the wisdom of Brock.

Brock considered himself to be the foremost sage on the Soul Land Continent. Though he might lack strength, when it came to cunning and strategy, he was second to none.

"Brock, it's good that you can recognize this. Xu Ran is a nice person, and he will find a way to help you cultivate again. It would be wonderful if you could foster a good relationship with him," Bi Bidong didn't see Yu Xiaogang's subtle movements and thought he was genuinely touched, feeling somewhat relieved. Although Yu Xiaogang had done many disappointing things, he had ultimately grown up.

"Dong'er, the elixirs I gave you…" Xu Ran revealed a sinister smile.

"Xu Ran, those elixirs have been shattered. I am sorry," Bi Bidong said, her head bowed in shame, her pretty face turning bright red with embarrassment. She looked at her beautiful legs and appeared somewhat constrained, feeling genuinely sorry for someone for the first time in her life.

And that person was Xu Ran.

"Since the elixirs are gone, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to return Brock's martial soul to him, given his body can't handle such powerful energy. That martial soul has already evolved into the Holy Radiant Dragon in my hands, and he won't be able to handle it," Xu Ran said with a smile, standing with his hands behind his back.

"What?"

"The Holy Radiant Dragon's martial soul?" Yu Xiaogang was shocked, but his eyes quickly filled with surprise and delight. He had heard from Xu Ran that his Luo San Pao martial soul was actually the Holy Radiant Dragon, but he had not fully awakened it when he first accessed his martial soul, ending up with the worthless Luo San Pao instead.

Xu Ran had said that if Luo San Pao evolved, it would become the Holy Radiant Dragon.

The Holy Radiant Dragon was a pure Dragon Clan martial soul, and it was an extremely powerful presence among the Dragon Clan.

Even the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan paled in comparison to the Holy Radiant Dragon.

If he possessed such a powerful martial soul, wouldn't he become incredibly awesome? Then, Yu Xiaogang could rise on his own to become a formidable figure, step on Bi Bidong and Xu Ran under his feet.

In an instant, Yu Xiaogang was ecstatic.

He laughed wildly in his heart, finally understanding that this was the chance meant for him, Yu Xiaogang. Could it be that after a life of bitterness, he was finally about to reach the pinnacle of his life?

On his own, he might never be able to turn his Luo San Pao martial soul into the Holy Radiant Dragon. But Xu Ran could easily do it. Xu Ran had humiliated him, done so many bad things to him, and now it was only fair to compensate him with the Holy Radiant Dragon.

"Xu Ran, I can handle it, I, Yu Xiaogang, can handle it," Yu Xiaogang said excitedly, stepping forward and grabbing Xu Ran's hand. That damn Xu Ran was just pretending not to want to return his martial soul to him.

The Holy Radiant Dragon, such a powerful martial soul—he, Yu Xiaogang, must possess it.

Now, as long as Xu Ran returned the martial soul to him, he could fulfill his dream. His dream was to become a top-tier fighter on the Continent, reach the peak of his life, marry Bi Bidong, and take Liu Erlong, who betrayed him, as his servant.

And once he had the Holy Radiant Dragon's martial soul, everything would be greatly attainable.

"Yu Xiaogang, it's not that I'm unwilling. Your body is very weak right now, weaker than even an ordinary person's; how could you possibly absorb the current Holy Radiant Dragon's martial soul? Even with my help, it's impossible," Xu Ran said with a smile.

"Xu Ran, then what should I do? You are my benefactor, my great benefactor, and you must help me. Haven't you noticed the potential in me? You will help me, right?"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered as he spoke. Xu Ran had said that all the previous humiliations were for his own good. If Xu Ran wanted to be this great benefactor, then Yu Xiaogang would play along with his scheme and see how Xu Ran would deal with him.

Since Xu Ran was so kind, he would surely find a way to return his martial soul to him.

"There is a way, but to achieve it, I'm afraid you might not be able to endure the hardship," Xu Ran shook his head.

"I can endure it, I can definitely endure it," Yu Xiaogang assured him quickly. He believed that with Bi Bidong by his side, Xu Ran wouldn't dare to treat him too harshly.
