Tang San's Fury: You Xing Earns a Death Sentence, Xiaogang Is Exposed and Humiliated on the Spot

The furious Tang San saw a girl he secretly liked step forward to say he was in the wrong, and his emotions immediately became disjointed.

Had it been anyone else, Tang San would probably have frowned by now, murderous intent spilling forth.

But Xiao Wu was exactly the kind of girl that matched his tastes!

Even though Little San's pure and chaste views on love had not fully awakened yet, instinctively, he was unwilling to think ill of such a lovely girl!

This kind-hearted little girl must have been bewitched by that deep-minded brat!

Tang San immediately turned and glared at You Xing. This man has earned himself a death sentence!

You Xing could probably guess Tang San's thoughts. Well, only the first half, the part concerning Yu Xiaogang.

As for the latter half, where Xiao Wu stepping out somehow earned him a "death sentence," even with You Xing's intelligence, he found it difficult to see through for the moment.

Unaware that a "death declaration mark" had inexplicably been hung over his head, You Xing silently complained in his heart.

Come to think of it, Tang San really is hilarious.

He thinks Yu Xiaogang has genuine talent just because he used one document to determine that he has Twin Martial Souls?

Others might not know, but doesn't he himself know that his Innate Full Soul Power came from cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill?

What Yu Xiaogang said was clearly just a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, coincidentally matching the outward signs Tang San displayed.

Yet Tang San, who knows his own exact circumstances, only needs to think for a moment to realize that Yu Xiaogang's words are riddled with holes, doesn't he?

He had clearly asked Yu Xiaogang whether everything had exceptions, yet the very next second, he forgot what he himself had said? Can't he wake up a little?

At the very least, he shouldn't have bowed down and accepted him as master on the spot, right? He considers taking a master to be a life-changing matter no less significant than acknowledging one's parents, yet he decided so carelessly?

Yu Xiaogang, who had probably spent years running into walls, was likely shocked inside that he had managed to fool such a disciple so easily.

You Xing's thoughts moved quickly, and his mockery of Tang San's brain-dead actions ended in an instant.

He did not meet Tang San's gaze directly. Instead, he quietly turned to look at Yu Xiaogang, whose face was both livid and gratified.

Naturally, he was livid because You Xing had exposed his glorious deeds. As for the gratification, his newly accepted genius disciple was defending him so fiercely—how could he not be pleased?

But how could You Xing possibly stand to see this man happy?

The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he looked straight at Yu Xiaogang and said, "Classmate, whether I slandered him or not, why don't you ask him yourself?"

The moment those words came out, all joy vanished from Yu Xiaogang's face, leaving only livid humiliation behind.

"Teacher?"

Tang San froze slightly, then turned toward Yu Xiaogang with an inquisitive look.

Yu Xiaogang sighed softly and said bitterly, "At least, regarding the part he mentioned, it was not slander."

He knew he had no way to refute it, so he could only play the emotional card.

By emphasizing "the part he mentioned," he gave off the feeling of a long self-justifying post, making people think there was more to the story.

But... was there really more to it?

There was bullshit more to it!

This world was nothing like the original timeline.

If Yu Xiaogang in the original timeline had at least possessed some reputation and could fool a few people, then Yu Xiaogang in this timeline was truly like a rat crossing the street, utterly notorious.

Back then, You Xing had not merely pointed out that Yu Xiaogang had stolen Spirit Hall knowledge and refuted some of the impractical conjectures in his theories. He had also explained in detail the potential dangers hidden within those conjectures.

For example, Yu Xiaogang's claim that the optimal age for a first soul ring was 423 years was correct.

But if someone followed Yu Xiaogang's claim that "plant-type soul masters can absorb beast soul rings" and truly absorbed a beast soul ring without considering compatibility, while overlooking the fact that even the least compatible plant martial soul absorbing a plant soul ring would not have terribly low compatibility, then they might absorb a soul beast ring that had a certain degree of conflict with them...

The age of the soul ring a soul master could actually withstand would be greatly reduced, ultimately causing them to explode and die.

Yu Xiaogang had published correct knowledge from Spirit Hall mixed together with his own unverified conjectures. It was like a statement that was nine parts true and one part false, making it even easier for people to be deceived.

Quite a few people had nearly died because of this, while others had already watched acquaintances die sudden deaths from it.

Originally, without You Xing's endorsement, these poorly educated people did not know it was Yu Xiaogang's fault. But now, things were different.

Naturally, they began loudly condemning Yu Xiaogang.

And that was far from the only case.

How could Yu Xiaogang's reputation possibly be any good?

"Teacher..." Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang with some expectation, hoping his teacher would give a positive response and viciously slap You Xing in the face!

But slap his face? Yu Xiaogang only felt his face burn red.

After having his face slapped by You Xing decades ago, Yu Xiaogang once again experienced what it meant to die of embarrassment.

He did not dare look at Tang San's face. Instead, he stared straight at You Xing. "Who exactly are you!?"

He did not believe that an eight- or nine-year-old child could know so much, and in such detail.

Even if Yu Xiaogang's reputation truly stank to high heaven, it should not have been so bad that even a child this young knew everything about him by heart!

Yu Xiaogang knew... he still had quite the nerve.

Well, even if his reputation stank, it was nowhere near the level of Qin Hui or Zhao Gao. He was not so infamous that people used him as a cautionary tale when educating children.

He suspected You Xing had some other motive.

You Xing smiled faintly. That rare smile even made Xiao Wu beside him wonder whether he had been possessed by some ghost or monster.

Then she heard him say, "My master—You Chen!"

After hearing him say those words with such pride, Xiao Wu nodded in sudden understanding. So it was because he had mentioned You Chen. That was not strange, then.

Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned deathly pale. That name, practically synonymous with the "God of Theory," left him too intimidated to speak.

You Xing abruptly turned to Tang San and grinned. "The very person I just mentioned, who refuted Yu Xiaogang, that fame-seeking fraud, when he was twelve!"

Xiao Wu revealed a somewhat surprised expression. She had not expected that gentle-looking uncle to be such an impressive figure too.

Ignoring Tang San's ugly expression, You Xing continued, "You are young and ignorant, lacking experience and having read few theoretical works, so I am not surprised that Yu Xiaogang deceived you. But you have only just taken him as your master. Now that you know all this, it is not too late to turn back."

Young and ignorant, lacking experience... aside from You Xing and Tang San himself, no one knew what kind of devastating blow those words dealt Tang San.

But compared to the humiliation his teacher had suffered, what did this little injury to his heart amount to!?

That was what Tang San thought.

"A teacher for a day, a father for life!"

Tang San clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Say whatever you want! I have only one teacher!"

"Little San!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with tears in his eyes.

He had thought there was no way he could keep this disciple. At the thought of losing the research material he had finally found, the one that could clear his name, he had been so furious and frantic that he trembled on the verge of fainting. The duck he had already cooked had nearly flown away.

Who could have expected such a turn of events?

At that moment, he wished Tang San truly were his biological son, so he could offer him every good thing he possessed.

"I have said all I can. Take care of yourself. Xiao Wu, let's go."

Seeing this touching scene between master and disciple, You Xing seemed to shake his head helplessly before leaving.

Yet this outcome was exactly as he had expected.

Given Tang San's personality, how could he possibly take back his words about becoming a disciple after being provoked like that?

Tang San would not shed tears until he saw the coffin. He was likely immersed in the sense of superiority that came from "none of you know that Teacher saw through the fact that I possess Twin Martial Souls," still believing Yu Xiaogang truly had real ability and had merely gone unrecognized like himself.

There was no need for You Xing to rush.

He had not even seen Tang San's martial soul yet and, theoretically, had received no information whatsoever. It was hard to guarantee the credibility of anything he said.

Once Tang San absorbed a soul ring according to Yu Xiaogang's theory, then he could tell Tang San the truth—that he had gone down the wrong path and could have become stronger...

Ugh, no, hold it in. I can't laugh yet. I can't laugh yet!
