When a Slap in the Face Came Without Warning

Of course, even if the verification succeeded, Yu Xiaogang had no intention of stealing someone else's idea and passing it off as his own.

If he published it, he would state that the idea had come from Su Xing. He would merely refine the theory and verify it!

"Really? Could this help you break through, Teacher?"

Tang San looked delighted when he heard that.

"Yes! It still needs to be verified, but it is worth trying for me!" Yu Xiaogang nodded, his tone resolute.

Even if it were only to verify this hypothesis, he would give it a try. Besides, it might help him break through the bottleneck that had constrained him for so long.

"Little San, don't give this method too much thought. It is only useful for Spirit Masters with ordinary talent like us. You possess top-tier talent, and using this method would harm you instead!" Yu Xiaogang then solemnly warned Tang San.

"Detonating Spirit Rings is only a desperate choice. That Su Xing should be a genius at creating Spirit Skills, which is why he could still retain such great strength after detonating his Spirit Rings. If an ordinary person detonated all their Spirit Rings, they would completely lose their Spirit Skills."

"If someone used this method to increase their Soul Power, detonated all their Spirit Rings, and still failed to break through their rank bottleneck, they would be crippled!"

Yu Xiaogang very seriously explained the drawbacks of using Ring Detonation to increase Soul Power.

The consequences could be said to be extremely severe!

If he published this, he would definitely need to emphasize that point.

"I understand, Teacher!"

Tang San nodded seriously, understanding Yu Xiaogang's meaning.

"Good. As long as you understand. If my guess is correct, then although Su Xing is leveling up quickly now, based on his talent, at most he will reach the Soul Saint level. And that is only if his Self-Created Soul Skills can keep up. Otherwise..." Yu Xiaogang shook his head and did not finish his sentence. In any case, he did not think highly of Su Xing's future.

However, when he recalled how he had once concluded that Su Xing could never even reach the Soul Saint level, only for Su Xing to now make it somewhat possible through his own ideas, he felt rather slapped in the face.

"Ahem... In short, Little San, you only need to know that your talent is far greater than his. I cannot even see where your limits lie. Just proceed step by step and work hard!"

After catching up with Tang San and learning the information he wanted, Yu Xiaogang officially became Shrek Academy's instructor under Flender's arrangement.

"Now that you are my students, there is one thing you must remember first."

"There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Spirit Masters!"

"I would not dare claim much in other areas, but when it comes to research on Martial Souls, there are very few who surpass me!"

"So long as you are willing to work hard, and with my guidance, you will certainly become outstanding Spirit Masters!"

After becoming Shrek Academy's instructor, Yu Xiaogang first gave an introduction and a speech to motivate them.

Other than Dai Mubai, who was still recovering from his injuries, all the students were listening.

Tang San and Xiao Wu already knew Yu Xiaogang, so they had no objections. On the contrary, they were quite happy.

Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar knew that the monstrous Tang San had been taught by Yu Xiaogang, so they were also excited. This teacher seemed rather dependable!

It had already been quite late when Zhao Wuji tested Tang San and the others that day, and Ma Hongjun had returned as well, so they had all witnessed Tang San display his power and make Zhao Wuji suffer.

Su Xing defeating Dai Mubai had surprised them, but Tang San passing Zhao Wuji's test alone and even slapping Zhao Wuji's face swollen had shocked them even more.

After all, Dai Mubai was only a level 37 Soul Elder, while Zhao Wuji was a level 76 Soul Saint.

Moreover, Su Xing was only level 27, while Tang San was already level 29. Naturally, they thought Tang San was extremely powerful!

Only Zhu Zhuqing wore an unreadable expression when she heard Yu Xiaogang's words.

"Zhu Zhuqing, do you have any thoughts?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's expression, Yu Xiaogang called on her directly.

"Grandmaster, I don't entirely agree with what you said earlier!"

"Grandmaster, you were able to teach a disciple like Tang San, so I believe you definitely are not useless. But because of your Martial Soul, you have been unable to break through for many years. So I think some Martial Souls are destined to be unable to succeed!"

Zhu Zhuqing had not really wanted to speak, but since Yu Xiaogang had called on her, she stood and voiced her thoughts.

Su Xing had told her these things during those few days.

At the time, Zhu Zhuqing had not paid much attention. She had simply treated it as a story to pass the time!

At that time, Su Xing had mentioned that he had once wanted to take a teacher but had been rejected, then complained about that teacher at length.

And that teacher seemed to be the Grandmaster standing before her!

As for Su Xing, Zhu Zhuqing was still angry with him even now. She often thought of him over the past few days, especially the kiss he had stolen in that sneak attack. Every time she thought of it, she became furious!

"That's right! Grandmaster, Zhu Zhuqing has a point!"

"We don't think you are useless, Grandmaster, so why is that?"

Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong had not thought much of it at first. But after hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, they immediately realized that she was not without reason!

"..."

Yu Xiaogang, standing on the platform, was slightly stunned. He had not expected Zhu Zhuqing to retort so directly.

The key was that he could not refute her.

Because Yu Xiaogang actually knew that Zhu Zhuqing was right. This was a world that depended on talent.

All of his theories also required Spirit Masters with a certain degree of talent in order to put them into practice!

That was why he had rejected Su Xing's request to become his disciple.

Yu Xiaogang needed to teach an outstanding disciple in order to prove himself, and Su Xing did not meet his standards.

Yu Xiaogang had said those things just now purely to motivate them.

He said those words whenever the principal of Notting Academy invited him to give a speech at Nuoding Academy.

Each time, they had inspired the students very effectively, and no one had ever questioned them to his face.

This time, however, he had been refuted in person and could not even explain himself, because he himself was an obvious example.

Yu Xiaogang could not help feeling immensely awkward. Sometimes, a slap in the face always came without warning.

"Ahem..."

"Very good. Well said!"

Yu Xiaogang coughed twice, then continued, "Those words I said earlier are what I use when giving speeches at certain academies, with the goal of motivating their students!"

"That was originally what I intended to say to all of you as well, but I did not expect Student Zhu Zhuqing to see things so clearly."

"That's right, Zhu Zhuqing is correct. Spirit Master cultivation ultimately depends on talent."

"And my ability lies in helping you find the most suitable cultivation methods, perfectly helping you bring out your potential!"

Whew...

Yu Xiaogang secretly let out a breath. He had finally managed to smooth it over!

"Yes, the Grandmaster is right!"

"Xiaogang, I'll leave the students to you. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be going first!"

Flender hurriedly came to Yu Xiaogang's aid from the side.

However, after saying that, Flender used having business to attend to as an excuse and left!

"HAHAHAHA~~~~"

BANG! BANG! BANG!!!

After returning to his office, Flender could no longer hold it in. One hand clutching his stomach and the other slapping the desk, he burst into loud laughter.

He truly had not expected Yu Xiaogang to have a day when he would be left speechless by a retort!
