Slapping the Grandmaster, Before Hunting Soul Rings
When Dean Flander uttered these words, it wasn't just Yu Xiaogang who was shocked.
Apart from Zhao Wuji and Flender themselves, who had seen Su He's Soul Ring Configuration before, all the other Teacher and students of the Shrek Academy were gaping in disbelief. They had originally thought that Su He's strength was at most at the Soul King level, but they never expected that the latter was already Six-Ring Soul Emperor.
Teacher like Li Yusong, who were at the Soul Emperor level, suddenly felt that they had wasted their lives and that the younger generation was truly formidable.
Li Yusong realized that he was already over sixty years old, yet he had only just passed the Soul Emperor. He even released his Soul Ring to try and intimidate Su He when Su He first arrived at the Shrek Academy, which was utterly ridiculous.
The Little Scumbag was equally shocked. Although he had always pretended to be humble, Little Scumbag was actually very proud inside.
He possesses Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, talents that are enough to make him stand out on the continent. However, today he has encountered an existence whose talent far surpasses his own, which makes the Little Scumbag feel even more threatened.
The Little Scumbag asked himself honestly, he couldn't possibly achieve the same success as Su He by the age of eighteen. He didn't know if Su He harbored any grudge against him, but in the Little Scumbag's mind, Su He had already chosen a path to his death, Su He had been added to his list of enemies.
Yu Xiaogang was surprised because Su He was the most talented Soul Master he had ever seen, without exception. He couldn't wait to know Su He's cultivation method.
"Su He, have you really reached the Soul Emperor realm?"
Yu Xiaogang's face lit up, but he still asked with some uncertainty. Such behavior was understandable, after all, such a level was indeed quite frightening for an eighteen-year-old boy.
Su He:...
Do you think I'm going to pay attention to you?
At this moment, Su He felt a sense of déjà vu with General Duanmu: I don't want to talk to you, you're not worthy to listen!
"Su He, could you release your Martial Soul so I can observe it? Your talent is unparalleled in my life; to reach such a high level at the age of eighteen. Could you share your cultivation methods?"
Yu Xiaogang saw that Su He was ignoring him, but she continued to chatter on and on, completely oblivious to his embarrassment. In Yu Xiaogang's heart, he was extremely curious about Su He. If she possessed any powerful secret cultivation methods, he was determined to find out and pass them on to his disciple Tang San!
Everyone could see that Su He didn't really want to talk to the Grandmaster, but the Grandmaster kept rambling on and on, didn't he see that Su He was already annoyed!
"Alright, Xiao Gang, we can talk about these things later. Let me show you around the academy's facilities first..."
Poor Dean Flander had to step in again to smooth things over, trying to quickly pull Yu Xiaogang away to prevent the conflict from escalating further.
"Dean, is there anything else?" Su He completely ignored Yu Xiaogang's question and instead spoke to Flender.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to cultivate. I still need to break through the level 70 barrier as soon as possible."
"Wait a minute, Su He, you..."
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang wanted to press for more information, but Flender pushed him away, nodding to Su He to signal him to go back quickly. Su He understood and left the training ground.
"Flender, why are you stopping me!" Yu Xiaogang said angrily.
"Su He's ability to possess such strength at such a young age must mean he has excellent training methods. Why not have him share them with the students? After all, he's Teacher at the academy!"
Even now, Yu Xiaogang is still arguing vehemently, believing that Flender ruined Tang San's path to becoming stronger, his tone full of reproach.
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions, especially the scions of powerful factions. Generally, once a faction reaches a certain size, it will possess some unique secret techniques. These techniques are called secret techniques precisely because they are secrets that are not passed on to others.
Now, you, Yu Xiaogang, are making it seem like someone is revealing their most treasured secrets with just a few words. What kind of logic is that?
The Star Luo Imperial Family possesses advanced meditation techniques, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart Separation Control Technique. Are you, Yu Xiaogang, also going to have these two powerful forces share these techniques with everyone?
Yu Xiaogang was unaware that he had already offended most of the people in the academy on his very first day there, and was still blaming Flender. Flender remained silent, simply pulling his so-called "friend" aside to appease him. The rest of the people gradually dispersed.
"Pah, what a piece of trash..." As he left, Immovable Wisdom King Zhao Wuji spat at Yu Xiaogang's retreating figure, expressing his dissatisfaction. Although his level was two levels lower than Flender's, in a real fight, the latter would be no match for his Great Vajra Bear. After all, it was natural for Assault Type to counter Agility Attack System. Not counting Su He, Zhao Wuji was the strongest in the academy. Yu Xiaogang's inexplicable sense of superiority from the moment he arrived really annoyed him.
A corner within the college.
"What? You're saying Su He has such a powerful background?" Yu Xiaogang had already learned about Su He from Flender. However, Flender did not reveal that Tang Hao died at Su He's hands.
The fact that Su He single-handedly killed Tang Hao is known to Heaven and Earth, Su He, Flender, and Zhao Wuji. No one else will know the truth unless Su He tells it herself.
"Indeed, Su He has a very powerful background." Flender nodded.
"After all, providing a million yuan for restructuring on the very first day of the academy is something not everyone can do."
"Xiao Gang, wake up! It's already a blessing for our academy that Su He can stay. Don't make any other unreasonable demands."
"What unreasonable demands? Flender, don't forget you begged me to come to the academy as Teacher. Besides, Little San have only just begun their cultivation journey. What's wrong with me wanting to secure some benefits for them!"
Yu Xiaogang was still arguing indignantly, which made sense given his audacity in asking Bibi Dong for advice on how to resolve the issue of Twin Martial Souls. Then, when Bibi Dong didn't tell him, Yu Xiaogang hilariously remarked, "Bibi Dong, you'll definitely regret this!"
Weak, stupid, and with negative emotional intelligence, the fact that Yu Xiaogang's head is still intact on his shoulder can only be attributed to his role as Tang San's Teacher in the Original Work. If that role were removed, someone with Yu Xiaogang's personality would have lost his head in no time.
"Xiao Gang, how can I explain this to you..." Flender was speechless. He couldn't understand why Liu Erlong would choose such a fool.
"Whether Su He has something or not is his freedom. If he's willing to provide it, that's Shrek's blessing; if he's unwilling, we have no right to criticize him..."
Although Flender was speechless, he patiently offered his advice, remembering the many years of friendship he had built with Yu Xiaogang after forming the Golden Iron Triangle.
"Flender, if you're unwilling to help me, then I'll find a way myself."
Yu Xiaogang said stiffly, then left with a flourish, leaving the pitiful Dean Flander standing there bewildered, his face full of helplessness.
The next morning, still unwilling to give up, Yu Xiaogang knocked on the wooden door of Su He's residence again. When he came out this time, he had a bright red handprint on his face. People passing by him suppressed their laughter and quickly left, his ashen face adding to the dramatic effect.
Humiliated, Yu Xiaogang returned to his residence and locked the door tightly. Even when Flender invited him to dinner, he refused to go. He wouldn't go out to see anyone until the Yu Xiaogang disappeared! He even turned away his disciple Tang San Yu Xiaogang he came to see him.
Although the students dared not discuss the matter in public out of respect for the dean, those who had seen the slap mark on Yu Xiaogang's face still laughed heartily in private, and Dai Mubai and the Little Scumbag even got into another fight.
Dai Mubai, this lecherous tiger, is inherently arrogant; to put it bluntly, he's a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Clearly, Yu Xiaogang is weak in his eyes. So much so that this Little Scumbag fought with him to protect his Teacher's dignity—it was a dog-eat-dog situation.
Su He's time at the Shrek Academy was generally harmonious. Usually, she didn't have much to do, so she would quietly settle down in her residence to comprehend the Power of Time and cultivate her Soul Power.
Of the several attributes left behind by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the one that still gives Su He a headache is the mysterious and unpredictable Power of Time. This power is too abstract. It can be said to be simple, as it exists in any corner of the Douluo Continent; yet it can also be said to be complex, as it is impossible to find.
All Soul Skill or Soul Bone Skill related to time are, without exception, extremely high-quality and powerful skills that can provide tremendous assistance to Soul Master in battle. Su He's Soul Power cultivation has not lagged behind either. He can feel that he has already touched the bottleneck of level 67. At this rate of cultivation, Su He can definitely reach the Soul Sage Elite Spirit Master Tournament, or even reach around level 74.
With such strength, he doesn't need any other teammates; they're just going through the motions. The Spirit Hall Academy only needs him to win.
After the first few days, Shrek Academy naturally followed the training model in the Original Work in its cultivation of students, sending them to the Suo Tuo Great Spirit Arena for Soul Fighting.
With the slap mark gone, Yu Xiaogang also joined the teaching team wholeheartedly. He seemed to care about the Shrek Academy students quite a bit, but he only really cared about Tang San. The other six were at best just "accompanying the Crown Prince in his studies."
The ridiculous weighted running laps were still done, and Su He really had the urge to pry open Yu Xiaogang and see if it was full of mush.
About half a month later, Flender convened the academy meeting again. This time, the topic was very simple: Oscar had broken through level 30 and needed to acquire Soul Ring.
Su He had been waiting for this opportunity. Oscar was definitely a promising talent, and even without the Immortal Herb, he still had the potential to Becoming a God.
No one in the Douluo Continent could cultivate Food System Martial Soul to the level of Oscar, which is why Su He values him so much.
"Little Ao is already level 30. We'll set off tomorrow to hunt for Soul Ring for him. Old Zhao, Su He, why don't you two lead the little monsters on a trip?"
Flender spoke to Zhao Wuji and Su He. He had his reasons for making this arrangement. Zhao Wuji was an elder of the academy, while Su He was a new Teacher. Originally, only Zhao Wuji was needed for this Soul Ring hunt, but he still arranged for Su He to come along, hoping that Su He and the Seven Monsters could take this opportunity to get to know each other.
"I want to go too!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said firmly.
"Neither of them has professional Spirit Beast Knowledge, so I need to go with them to choose the best Soul Ring for Oscar!"
Upon hearing this, Su He could no longer contain her anger. It seemed that the slap she had given Yu Xiaogang with her Soul Power last time hadn't managed to get Yu Xiaogang's cerebellum working properly. This time, she would have to use her hand to slap him.
"I don't want to waste my breath on you, Grandmaster."
Su He sneered, and behind her, a mighty Golden Lion slowly opened its terrifying claws.
"Aren't you very confident in your theory? Then explain my Soul Ring Configuration!"
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red!
Such a Soul Ring Configuration shocked everyone. Yu Xiaogang rubbed her eyes repeatedly to make sure she wasn't seeing things, and her expression changed from surprise to anger.
"Su He, I know you are powerful, but using tricks to gain a temporary verbal advantage against me is meaningless..."
Yu Xiaogang once again made a shocking statement, which indeed proved that his confidence in his theory was outrageously high. He preferred to believe that Su He had used a smokescreen rather than believe that his theory had any problems.
"There's a saying in my hometown: 'You can't talk about ice with a summer insect...' Grandmaster, do you know what this saying means?"
Su He asked, his tone mocking and cold. These past few days, Yu Xiaogang had already pushed him to his limit, and he had long wanted to find an opportunity to teach the latter a lesson.
That is, don't argue with a frog in a well who only has a walnut-like brain, because he simply cannot understand you.
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean no one can do it. Instead of doubting others, look for problems within yourself first.
"Smack!" A very loud sound, this time on the right cheek. Yu Xiaogang immediately felt a burning pain on the right side of her face, and looked at Su He in disbelief.
"You've provoked me time and time again; this slap is to teach you a lesson."
Seeing his Teacher being attacked, Tang San instinctively took out his Godly Zhuge Crossbow, aimed it at Su He, and pulled the trigger. The crossbow bolt flew quickly towards Su He, striking the shield of her Indestructible Golden Body and producing a clear metallic clang.
"Roar!!"
The Abyssal Golden Lion was not known for its good temper. When provoked by Yu Xiaogang and the Little Scumbag, it immediately let out a roar that shook the heavens and nearly shattered their eardrums.
