The Excited Grandmaster

"Indeed, your disciple is truly outstanding!" Flender admitted.

"But..." Thinking of Su Xing, who had seriously injured Dai Mubai, Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang strangely.

"But what?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Flender in confusion, not knowing why Flender was looking at him like that.

"Among the students who came for the entrance exam that day, there was also a child named Su Xing. He was no ordinary talent either!" Flender said.

"Su Xing? That name sounds somewhat familiar!"

Hearing Flender's words, Yu Xiaogang frowned.

"Of course it does. That boy seemed to have wanted to take you as his teacher back then, but you rejected him!"

"Xiaogang, even you have times when you misjudge someone. That boy is no worse than your disciple, Xiao San!"

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang had not remembered, Flender immediately teased him.

"You mean that boy from back then..." Upon hearing Flender's words, Yu Xiaogang immediately remembered.

"That boy only had level-three Innate Soul Power. Who knows whether he has even broken through level twenty by now? How could he possibly compare to Xiao San?" Yu Xiaogang said in surprise.

"What? That boy's Innate Soul Power was really only level three?" Flender was shocked as well. When Tang San had told him a few days earlier, he had not believed it.

"Xiaogang, could you have remembered wrong? That boy has not only broken through level twenty, but he is already a level-twenty-seven Soul Grandmaster!"

Flender seriously suspected that Yu Xiaogang had made a mistake back then.

"Level twenty-seven?" Yu Xiaogang was stunned. No wonder Flender had said Su Xing was no worse than Tang San.

"Impossible. He had only just awakened his Martial Soul back then. I tested him myself; his Innate Soul Power was only level three!" Yu Xiaogang shook his head, indicating that he had not misjudged him.

"Then how did his level rise so quickly? And he even blew up all his Spirit Rings! Do you think his rapid cultivation has something to do with that?" Flender had always been curious about Su Xing's situation.

"What? He blew up his Spirit Rings? Why would he blow up his own Spirit Rings?" Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded. He had never heard of anyone blowing up their own Spirit Rings!

"Where is Su Xing? Where is he now?"

Yu Xiaogang was immediately filled with curiosity about Su Xing and hurriedly asked where he was.

"It is rather unfortunate. For certain reasons, he did not join Shrek Academy and has already left!"

Flender sighed regretfully.

"He has already left?" Yu Xiaogang was disappointed as well. Regretfully, he said, "If I had come earlier, then six years ago, when he wanted to take me as his teacher, if he had known I would come guide Shrek Academy's students, he would not have left!"

Yu Xiaogang still thought Su Xing was the same Su Xing who had wanted to take him as his teacher back then!

"Tell me his situation in detail. His level rose so quickly; it may truly be related to him blowing up his Spirit Rings!" Since he could not ask Su Xing personally, he could only ask Flender.

For a moment, Yu Xiaogang's interest was piqued. It felt as though he had encountered an exceptionally rare research subject, and he was eager to figure it out.

He had a feeling that if he understood it, the bottleneck that had kept him from breaking through level twenty-nine might no longer be a problem.

Naturally, Flender did not refuse, but he had only heard about it himself. "I was not there that day either. If you want to know more clearly, ask Zhao Wuji or your disciple Tang San!"

By then, Tang San and the others had already returned from Star Dou Forest. Although Dai Mubai was missing, the outcome had not changed much.

Oscar still obtained the Flying Mushroom, Xiao Wu was still taken away by Er Ming, and Tang San encountered that Man Faced Demon Spider and gained the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances!

"What? Su Xing defeated a level-thirty-seven Soul Elder?"

"And it was a Soul Elder with the top-tier Martial Soul, the Evil Eye White Tiger?"

"A Self-Created Soul Skill..."

After Yu Xiaogang learned the details about Su Xing from his own disciple Tang San, he was shocked once again.

He had never expected that Su Xing, whom he had rejected back then, would become so powerful in just a few short years!

Even stronger than him.

Even stronger than Tang San, the disciple before him whom he was so proud of.

He knew how formidable Tang San was, yet he still did not believe Tang San could defeat level-thirty-seven Dai Mubai.

The disciple I personally taught is actually inferior to Su Xing, whom I looked down on?

"Teacher, can you tell how he cultivated so quickly?"

"Could it be related to him blowing up his Spirit Rings?"

Tang San understood his teacher Yu Xiaogang's surprise. He had been extremely shocked that day as well!

Tang San was no fool. He had also realized that Su Xing's rapid advancement despite his level-three Innate Soul Power might be related to blowing up his Spirit Rings.

"It is very good that you can realize this!" Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and nodded approvingly before saying:

"Very likely. We all know that Spirit Rings are condensed from Soul Power. Whenever a Spirit Master absorbs a Spirit Ring, their Soul Power rises considerably. I had always believed that the Spirit Master had absorbed all the Soul Power within the Spirit Ring at that time, but now it seems that may not be the case."

"Perhaps Spirit Rings still contain a considerable amount of Soul Power. When Su Xing blew up his Spirit Rings, he may have absorbed the Soul Power within them after destroying them, which is why his strength increased so quickly!"

"If that is truly the case, then it is truly a genius idea. Although it sacrifices the Spirit Rings and leaves one without Spirit Skills, if sacrificing a Spirit Ring and a Spirit Skill can bring an increase in Soul Power, then it will change the entire Douluo Continent!"

Facing the disciple he valued, Yu Xiaogang revealed his speculation without hiding anything.

"For example, a Spirit Master like your teacher, who is stuck at level twenty-nine and cannot advance. If blowing up a Spirit Ring could help your teacher break through to level thirty, then your teacher could use that to enter the Soul Elder rank!"

Seeing that Tang San still seemed not to understand, Yu Xiaogang suppressed his excitement and spoke in a low voice.

If Su Xing were here at that moment, then no matter how much he looked down on Yu Xiaogang, he would still have to admire Yu Xiaogang's mind.

Su Xing could say with certainty that this was correct.

Su Xing had already verified all this. He simply did not know whether absorbing another Spirit Ring and blowing it up again would weaken his control over his Soul Power, which was why he had not absorbed and blown up another Spirit Ring after reaching level twenty.

Yu Xiaogang had misunderstood, believing that Su Xing had raised his level by blowing up two Spirit Rings.

In truth, he did not know that Su Xing relied on Lightning Body Tempering, then used his powerful physical constitution to increase the speed of his Soul Power cultivation.

As long as Su Xing continuously strengthened his body, he could continuously break through.

Yu Xiaogang's method could only raise one's level by one or two ranks, leaving no path forward afterward.

It was only useful for Spirit Masters who happened to be stuck at a rank threshold.

Even so, that was already astonishing!

Yu Xiaogang could foresee that if he proved this conjecture and announced it, it would certainly cause a sensation throughout the entire Douluo Continent!
