Tang San also shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "I don't know either, Teacher."
"From the moment I opened my eyes this morning until now, it's as if I've been possessed by a Star of Calamity; I've already experienced so many unlucky things."
Then, Tang San, full of frustration, briefly recounted the series of misfortunes from this morning: being elbowed, having his eyes poked, tripping on flat ground, and having dirty water splashed on him.
After hearing Tang San's tragic encounters, Yu Xiaogang was also stunned, completely unable to find any scientific explanation.
Yu Xiaogang didn't know what had happened either and could only offer some dry comfort:
"This... it should just be that our luck today is really bad, a mere coincidence. Don't think too much about it."
During the next hour or so of the lecture...
The room remained very peaceful, and indeed, no more bizarre incidents of misfortune occurred.
This allowed the master and disciple, who had been on edge, to simultaneously breathe a long sigh of relief in their hearts.
It seemed that the nightmare-like bad luck had finally passed completely.
Just as the two completely lowered their guard, feeling that everything was safe...
The misfortune card had only just begun to reveal its mischievous fangs.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was right in the middle of his lecture.
With his hands behind his back and his chin slightly raised, he struck a pose of a Grandmaster that he considered extremely profound and mysterious.
"Little San, remember, there are no trash Spirits, only..."
Yu Xiaogang stood in the center of the room, preparing to deliver a stirring concluding statement.
Suddenly!
From the ceiling above their heads came a very strange "creak-creak" sound of wooden boards breaking.
One must know that directly above Yu Xiaogang's office was an old public latrine in the Nuoding Academy faculty dormitory area!
Due to years of neglect and the law of Karma destruction from the misfortune card today...
Those old floorboards finally became overburdened.
"Boom!!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a large section of the ceiling above Yu Xiaogang's head suddenly collapsed!
What followed was not ordinary bricks or stones.
But a large bucket's worth of highly concentrated fermented latrine sewage and excrement from a clogged pipe.
This terrifying "biochemical weapon," like a mudslide mixed with rotten wooden boards...
Poured straight down with overwhelming force.
"Splat!"
"Splash!"
Yu Xiaogang, who was wide-mouthed and about to deliver his long-winded speech, didn't even have time to let out a scream.
He was directly hit square on the head by the falling excrement and urine!
That nauseating yellow and white substance flowed down his face, and he even swallowed a large mouthful of it!
And Tang San, who was sitting not far from him, naturally could not escape!
This wide-reaching "sewage waterfall" drenched Tang San thoroughly; his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was completely unavoidable, and a few pieces of rotten cabbage leaves even stuck to his nose!
The master and disciple, baptized by this sudden onslaught of sewage, were knocked into a daze, sitting paralyzed on the ground.
The entire office was instantly filled with a terrifying, ultimate stench that could make someone die on the spot!
"Blegh—"
Tang San was the first to react; his stomach churned, and he lay on the ground vomiting uncontrollably.
Beside him, Yu Xiaogang's eyes rolled back.
He was directly knocked unconscious by the stench, falling straight back into the pile of yellow and white waste, senseless.
The loud boom of the collapse quickly caught the attention of other teachers and students at Nuoding Academy.
A large number of teachers and students heard the commotion and hurried toward Yu Xiaogang's office out of curiosity.
When they reached the corridor, before they could even open the closed door...
Just by approaching a few steps, everyone smelled an extremely pungent, nauseating odor.
Then, they were horrified to discover...
Some viscous yellow and white mixture was slowly flowing out from under the door crack!
At that moment, Tang San, trapped inside the office, finally couldn't stand the ultimate stench anymore.
His stomach was in turmoil, and he could no longer hold it in.
He suddenly yanked the door open, wanting to take a deep breath of air.
However, as the door swung open, the terrifying fermented smell that had accumulated inside instantly swept through the corridor like a storm!
With the air circulation, the smell became even more pungent and foul!
"Blegh—"
Many teachers and students watching in the corridor turned pale on the spot from the stench.
They leaned against the walls and dry-heaved violently; the scene became extremely chaotic and unsightly.
The Academy Principal, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, pinched his nose and endured the nausea to take a look.
He looked up and discovered that the problem originated from the old latrine directly above Yu Xiaogang's office.
The load-bearing wooden boards of the latrine had snapped, and the large pipe below that transported the waste had completely burst as well.
All sorts of filth had poured down, which is why there was such a disgusting situation now.
However, the Principal's heart was also filled with doubt and confusion.
Although the latrine upstairs was indeed an old building in disrepair...
For safety's sake, he had specifically sent people to reinforce and inspect it at regular intervals!
How could it be such a coincidence that it broke down completely and without warning at this time?
This was simply too illogical and unscientific!
But in the end, faced with this inexplicable and bizarre accident, the Principal and the others could only shake their heads helplessly.
They attributed all these ridiculous reasons to the bad luck of the unfortunate master and disciple duo, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
In the shadows far away...
Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who had been silently watching all of this, was also frowning deeply.
He had clearly seen all the unlucky things that happened today and understood the situation best.
With his cultivation, he was certain that no one was secretly tampering or sabotaging anything upstairs.
It was a pure accidental coincidence!
But wasn't the number of times these ridiculous accidents happened today a bit too many and too eerie?
...
On the other side, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
With Tang Xiao's help, Tang Yuehua finally successfully obtained her spirit ring and returned to the Moon Pavilion from the Sect.
Her temperament had undergone an earth-shaking change, appearing even more elegant and noble.
Not only did she successfully obtain her first spirit ring...
Her cultivation had even advanced irresistibly, breaking through from Level Ten to a Level Fifteen Spirit Grandmaster!
Among these five additional levels of spirit power, two levels were provided by the vast energy of absorbing a high-age first spirit ring.
The other three levels were provided by the energy of the Origin Divine Stone rewarded by the System previously.
