Yu Xiaogang Runs Away

"..."

"So, in my view, your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul can absolutely take the control-type path.

For your Spirit Rings, you should focus on resilience and poison. As your Soul Power rises, your Martial Soul will only grow stronger.

Restricting your enemies and inflicting poison will be your path to victory!"

Yu Xiaogang was speaking eloquently, showing off his knowledge with increasing enthusiasm, completely failing to notice Tang San's unpleasant expression.

Listening to Yu Xiaogang's increasingly absurd claims, Tang San finally could not bear it any longer.

"Enough. What utter nonsense.

I really don't know how someone like you came to be revered as a 'master.' You're just spouting baseless nonsense."

Tang San directly interrupted Yu Xiaogang, refuting him without the slightest mercy.

Some time ago, under Su Ming's guidance,

Tang San had naturally learned quite a bit about Spirit Masters.

While teaching Tang San, Su Ming had also told him the most suitable developmental path for a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Blue Silver Grass gave the first impression of being common weeds found everywhere by the roadside.

Yet people had overlooked Blue Silver Grass's unique strengths.

Strong adaptability and powerful reproductive ability!

If these two qualities continued to develop, then put simply, they amounted to vitality!

After the Blue Silver King and Blue Silver Emperor were discovered on the Sun Moon Continent, they became widely known precisely because of their terrifying vitality.

Therefore, Tang San wanted his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to awaken in the future by absorbing plant-type Spirit Beasts with life attributes and immense vitality.

With the life-attribute enhancement brought by those Spirit Rings, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul would evolve into a Blue Silver King Martial Soul!

Though the Blue Silver King was one level below the Blue Silver Emperor, it was still a king among plants.

On the Sun Moon Continent, a Blue Silver King Martial Soul was comparable to a Top-tier Martial Soul.

On the Sun Moon Continent, Martial Soul quality had been classified in detail.

Waste Martial Souls, Ordinary Martial Souls, Intermediate Martial Souls, Advanced Martial Souls, Top-tier Martial Souls, and Super Martial Souls.

There were also special types such as Ultimate Martial Souls, God-tier Martial Souls, and Fallen Martial Souls.

When Su Ming had taught Tang San this knowledge, Tang San had also asked what grade his Qi Martial Soul was.

At the time, Su Ming had told Tang San that the quality of his Martial Soul had long surpassed that of a Super Martial Soul.

Once he obtained Spirit Rings in the future, Tang San would understand just how terrifying his Martial Soul truly was.

It was precisely because Su Ming had taught Tang San this knowledge

that Tang San was no longer the ignorant novice he had been in the original story.

When faced with Yu Xiaogang's theories and suggestions, he could recognize that many of them were wrong—mere fallacies.

The moment Tang San interrupted him, Yu Xiaogang was about to argue back.

But Tang San gave him no such opportunity.

Under Su Ming's training, even his eloquence had improved considerably.

"Right from the start, you assumed I had Twin Martial Souls. Then you began flaunting your knowledge, trying to make me believe your theories.

Wouldn't I know whether I have Twin Martial Souls or not? What is the point of your wild guesses? To satisfy your own fantasies?

And if a Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass truly followed this so-called path of poison, it would probably be completely ruined.

A master like you, who misleads students, should stop giving people advice so recklessly."

After saying that, Tang San slammed the door and left.

He had thought this master might possess some real knowledge. Who would have thought he was the kind of complete fraud scholar Brother Ming had described?

Aside from correctly guessing that he had Twin Martial Souls, everything else had been utter nonsense.

If he had truly believed that man and followed his path,

his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul would not merely fail to awaken and evolve into a Blue Silver King—it would probably be raised into uselessness instead.

"I'm furious!"

Only after Tang San left did the stunned Yu Xiaogang come back to his senses.

Realizing that he had been refuted and looked down upon by a child, his face flushed red as he slammed a fist onto the table.

"No, no! My theories must be correct! What could a mere child possibly know?!"

In that instant, Yu Xiaogang recalled the ridicule he had received from others.

He had completely failed with Tang San.

And since Su Ming came from the same village as him, he likely had no chance there either.

"Must I continue wasting away in this small city? Must the word 'waste' truly follow me for the rest of my life?"

Yu Xiaogang went limp and collapsed into his chair, voicing his unwilling question.

Fortunately, he had endured plenty of mockery over the years, and his mentality had long been tempered.

The reason he had lost control today was that the future disciple he had chosen to prove his own ability had struck directly at his weak point.

The truth was the sharpest blade!

It seems I can only seek out that old friend of mine.

After thinking for a while, Yu Xiaogang finally made his decision.

He could not remain in Nuoding City any longer.

If he continued waiting, who knew when he would encounter the student he wanted?

His only option now was to go to the academy founded by his old friend.

Originally, he had not planned to trouble his friend, but if he continued wasting time, he might not have any time left to prove himself.

He had heard that there were several promising seedlings there as well!

As long as he raised those promising talents, his humiliation would surely be washed away.

Even Tang San, who had rejected him today, would definitely regret it in the future!

At the same time, Su Ming, who was in his private room, discovered that a new batch of Willpower had appeared within him.

After briefly checking it, he found that Yu Xiaogang had not only failed to take Tang San as his disciple, but had become so enraged that he was preparing to flee to Shrek Academy, founded by his old friend Flender.

He would definitely go to Shrek Academy in the future.

After all, the original story's main cast was there. It was an excellent source for harvesting Willpower.

Besides, one of his Alter Egos had already joined Shrek Academy.

During the future Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, Su Ming's main body had no intention of joining any faction.

He planned to create his own faction and compete independently!

"Uncle Tang Hao, you're here."

Su Ming, who had been organizing documents, suddenly stopped what he was doing and spoke calmly.

"Your perception is truly terrifying! You could detect me even like this.

It's hard to imagine that you aren't even a one-ring Spirit Master yet."

Along with a deep, powerful voice, Tang Hao's figure appeared inside the small private room.

Tang Hao looked at Su Ming with a rather complicated expression.

"Not at all. It's just help from my Martial Soul."

Turning to face Tang Hao, Su Ming said, "You brought everything I need, right, Uncle Tang Hao?"

"Of course. Aside from the Spirit Beast you need, which was too troublesome to bring directly, everything else is here."

After saying that, Tang Hao did not beat around the bush and tossed a bundle to Su Ming.

A stream of white Qi emerged, easily lifting the bundle in midair and gently setting it on the table beside them.

"No time to waste. Take me to that Spirit Beast first. This first ring is extremely crucial."

"Alright."
