Grandmaster Arrives, Introduction Trouble
Upon hearing Flender's words, Tang San quickly walked to the newly built training ground, having no time to retaliate against Su He any further.
The Little Scumbag still held Yu Xiaogang in high esteem. His dead father had always neglected him, and during his time in Nuoding City, Yu Xiaogang had provided him with many cultivation resources. Otherwise, the money he earned from blacksmithing and the Soul Master subsidies from the Spirit Hall would have been far from enough to allow him to reach level thirty-three at the age of twelve.
While the Little Scumbag's talent for cultivation certainly plays a part, it's undeniable that cultivation resources are extremely important in the cultivation process. This is why there's such a huge gap between clan geniuses and those from humble backgrounds. Sometimes it's not because of the difference in their Innate Soul Power, but rather the influence of the cultivation resources they acquire.
As the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, Yu Xiaogang 'Innate Soul Power was only half a level. However, only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan knew how many rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he consumed during his cultivation to level twenty-nine. Although Yu Xiaogang had been expelled from the sect, as long as his blood relationship with Yu Yuanzhen remained, he could still obtain resources that ordinary people could not reach.
This is the hierarchical system of the Douluo Continent. Commoners have almost no hope of rising to power, and only the Spirit Hall has become a beacon of light in the hearts of commoner Soul Master.
In the Little Scumbag's mind, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had long been second only to his father. He quickly walked up behind the short-haired man in black standing with his hands behind his back, and respectfully bowed to him.
"Teacher, you've arrived."
Yu Xiaogang nodded, turned to look at the Little Scumbag, and his eyes showed more affection. Although it was undeniable that he had initially used his disciple Tang San as a tool to prove his theories, that was in the past. After six years of getting along, the master-disciple relationship between Yu Xiaogang and the Little Scumbag had become quite deep.
The first three Soul Ring Tang San attached to the Clear Sky Hammer —two yellow and one purple—were strictly controlled by Yu Xiaogang. Both the age and the type of Soul Beast were carefully selected. This shows how much the Little Scumbag believed in the latter's "theory."
Mo Xiaoyu, who was standing next to Tang San, was clearly very familiar with Yu Xiaogang as well, and she also stepped forward and greeted him as "Grandmaster".
Compared to Xiao Wu, Mo Xiaoyu's personality is much more normal. Although she is still somewhat willful, it is within the normal range. She can only be described as a bit shrewish, and she doesn't always listen to Little Scumbag's opinions, acting like a mere accessory.
Unlike that foolish old rabbit, who loves to cause trouble and then relies on Little Scumbag to clean up her messes using the protagonist's halo, and even stupidly goes to Spirit City, a place teeming with Titled Douluo, to participate in the finals of the Spirit Master Tournament, this rabbit is truly a case of a tinea cerebellum.
Yu Xiaogang turned around, looked at the Little Scumbag and Mo Xiaoyu, nodded, and forced a stiff smile onto her expressionless face.
Although Su He was still a hundred meters away from the training ground, with the help of her Golden Eyes of Disillusionment, she could still clearly see what was happening there.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang looked the same as before, thin and frail, wearing a black overcoat, his face stiff and expressionless. His appearance was extremely ordinary, and he was by no means handsome.
Su He couldn't help but wonder how this guy had managed to win the hearts of two beauties Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong... It was definitely not a reasonable thing.
Although Su He might not be the most handsome man on the Douluo Continent, he was certainly good-looking. There were quite a few young women in the Heaven Dou Empire who secretly admired him. Although Su He himself never cared about these women, since he already had someone he loved in his heart, he still couldn't figure out how Grandmaster had attracted Bibi Dong and Su He Liu Erlong.
With meager abilities and ordinary appearance, to say he's intelligent... he's just a copycat of theories. I really don't know what merits Yu Xiaogang possesses.
Moreover, this person has an incredibly strong sense of pride; just seeing him makes you want to punch him unconscious.
The remaining trainees reacted quite differently to Yu Xiaogang compared to Little Scumbag and Mo Xiaoyu.
The moment Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong saw Yu Xiaogang, a hint of disdain flashed across their faces, but they quickly concealed it without a trace.
The two men were backed by top-tier forces on the continent, and they were naturally aware of Yu Xiaogang's reputation. Clearly, whether it was Dai Tianfeng or Ning Fengzhi, the so-called Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was nothing but a clown. This perception subtly influenced them. If it weren't for the need to give Dean Flander face, Dai Mubai would have simply packed up and left.
Oscar's Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, wore a curious expression. After all, the Little Scumbag was already so outstanding, and they were also very curious about the Grandmaster who could "cultivate" such a Little Scumbag. But after meeting him today, the two of them really couldn't find anything special about this Grandmaster.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, she remained indifferent, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang had already shown himself, Flender introduced him to the many Teacher and students of Shrek, but he didn't mention their levels or strengths at all, because he was afraid that mentioning their levels would hurt his old friend's pride.
"Huh... isn't Teacher Su here?" After Flender finished his introduction, he looked around but couldn't find Su He, so he couldn't help but ask.
"I saw him at the breakfast restaurant this morning..." Ning Rongrong said from the side.
"Su He? Who is he?" Yu Xiaogang's twisted pride was already flaring up when he heard that no one had come to greet him. This was the result of extreme inferiority complex. As long as anyone seemed to look down on him, Yu Xiaogang's heart would be in turmoil.
Hearing Dean Flander address Su He by her full name, Yu Xiaogang initially thought the latter was a student.
What kind of student dares to be so arrogant as not to come and greet me? I must train him to the bone in the future! I'll teach this Su He a lesson about the price of acting like a big shot. How dare he embarrass me, Yu Xiaogang! He's unforgivable.
"Who is this Su He?" Yu Xiaogang asked Flender again, but the latter did not answer him. Instead, he instructed Ning Rongrong to invite Su He over. Ning Fengzhi's letter mentioned creating more space for the two of them to spend time together, and the shrewd Flender naturally understood his meaning.
