Yu Xiaogang's Theoretical Paradox, Targeting Xiao Lin

Yes, if it really followed my theory.

To meet the requirements for Innate Full Soul Power, Blue Silver Grass and the other martial soul had to be martial souls of equal quality, and both had to be Top-level Spirits.

Martial souls only inherited the stronger-quality martial soul of one's parents.

Was Blue Silver Grass a Top-level Spirit?

If it was not, then it would be suppressed by the other top-level martial soul and become a single martial soul from then on.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized that the Spirit Ten Core Competitiveness Theory he had written actually contradicted itself.

In other words, this child called Tang San was only a Blue Silver King, which was why...

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang thought it over and over. On one hand, admitting that he was wrong was humiliating.

On the other hand, he began to hesitate over whether he should take Tang San as his disciple.

Judging by the quality of Blue Silver Grass, even if it truly was the so-called king of Blue Silver Grass, it was only the king among trash.

After all, Blue Silver Grass itself had no offensive power.

No matter how formidable it was, it would be difficult for it to effectively attack or restrain a top-level Fire Attribute martial soul.

It might even be inferior to a Soul Master with a Fire Attribute martial soul and five or six levels of Innate Soul Power.

Other than having a little talent for cultivation, he was practically useless.

In an instant, thoughts raced through Yu Xiaogang's mind. In the end, he decided to give up on using Tang San to prove his theory.

It seemed he should take Xiao Lin as his disciple later instead.

At the very least, the issue of Spirit News on how Staff Weapon Soul Masters should choose their soul rings had already sold extremely well.

As long as Xiao Lin had half a brain, he would surely submit to my wisdom.

That was right. Xiao Lin, with his top-level Weapon Soul, the Imprisoning Dragon Staff, was the best choice.

Before long, Yu Xiaogang rose from the ground, his gaze toward Tang San carrying a trace of regret.

This change left Tang San, who stood nearby, somewhat dumbfounded.

What was with that look?

Yu Xiaogang no longer wanted to take me as his disciple?

As a successor of the Tang Sect, Tang San was best at reading people's expressions and acting accordingly.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang looking at him with regret and pity, Tang San suddenly felt an indescribably strange sensation.

Was the Blue Silver King that bad?

However, Tang San had always been quiet and reserved. Precisely because of that, he was also highly capable of taking action.

Since Yu Xiaogang was not stopping him, he would just go buy bedding himself.

As Tang San took a step forward, Yu Xiaogang could not help shaking his head.

What a pity. Even I could not find the best soul ring configuration for the Blue Silver King.

Because according to Yu Xiaogang's original theory, he had never intended for Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul to cultivate beyond level seventy.

Nor did he believe Blue Silver Grass could cultivate beyond level seventy. His original plan had been for Tang San to rely entirely on his second martial soul to break through afterward.

Even for Blue Silver Grass's Soul Skills, he had simply found some whip-type Weapon Soul Masters, taken their materials, and adapted them for Tang San.

After all, no matter how powerful Twin Martial Souls were, only one martial soul could be summoned for battle at a time, so his thinking had been very simple.

Although he had gathered those materials casually, he had still studied them carefully afterward, doing his best to ensure Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would not be too weak in the early stages.

Yu Xiaogang not only felt some pity for Tang San, but also regretted wasting so much time.

What a waste of Innate Full Soul Power. If my martial soul had Innate Full Soul Power, then even if it were Luo Sanpao, I would still be confident in becoming one of the strongest Soul Masters.

Even now, Yu Xiaogang still believed his theory was so brilliant and so correct...

"Little San, wait for me. I'm buying bedding too."

Just as Tang San was about to step out of the academy gates, Xiao Lin's voice rang out.

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San both could not help turning around.

Xiao Lin?

Xiao Lin!

While Tang San was wondering why Xiao Lin also needed to buy bedding, Yu Xiaogang had already darted over excitedly, blocking Xiao Lin's path and introducing himself.

"Xiao Lin, I am Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang."

"Oh, not interested."

Xiao Lin shoved Yu Xiaogang aside, then jogged straight over to Tang San's side and raised his eyebrows.

Tang San immediately understood. So he was here to collect the royalties for the Thesis.

Only then did Xiao Lin belatedly realize that quite a few things seemed to have happened between Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Xiao Lin glanced around and noticed several fallen strands of hair on the ground.

He looked at the middle-aged Yu Xiaogang with growing amusement.

"Come on, Little San. I took in a few underlings in Dorm Seven."

"When we get back, I'll have them call you Third Brother."

Xiao Lin burst out laughing and teased him loudly.

"Just call me Third Brother."

Tang San had no idea why Xiao Lin was laughing so loudly. Was he really making fun of him?

"Wait, Xiao Lin. How can you disregard your elders and show no respect for a senior?"

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang stuck himself to them again like an annoying piece of gum.

Yu Xiaogang looked righteous and indignant, as though he was deeply dissatisfied with Xiao Lin's behavior.

"Are you a teacher here?" Xiao Lin asked in return.

"I may not be a teacher, but I should still count as your elder, shouldn't I?"

"Sorry, I don't have a habit of treating strangers as elders."

Xiao Lin replied casually and was about to leave with Tang San.

"Xiao Lin, if you want to achieve something great, you must rely on my theories."

"You haven't obtained a soul ring yet, have you? If you acknowledge me as your teacher, I'll pass all my knowledge on to you."

Seeing that Xiao Lin was not someone who respected his elders, Yu Xiaogang could not help feeling somewhat disappointed.

But after working so hard for so many years, he had finally found a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and a top-tier Weapon Soul. How could he possibly give up?

After all, Yu Xiaogang's idol was Tang Hao, who also possessed a top-tier Weapon Soul.

The more he read about Tang Hao, the more excited he became.

He desperately wanted one of his disciples to emerge as someone capable of competing with Tang Hao.

And Xiao Lin was the person he believed had the greatest potential.

Seeing how irritating Yu Xiaogang was being, Xiao Lin began to get angry as well.

Originally, he had only intended to make Tang San stay away from Yu Xiaogang. He had not expected the man to latch onto him now.

It seemed that if he did not teach Yu Xiaogang a proper lesson today, the man would keep pestering him in the future.

With that thought, Xiao Lin turned around and faced Yu Xiaogang.

"You're so scruffy. What bullshit theories could you possibly have?"

Xiao Lin felt that he had already started cursing. No matter what, Yu Xiaogang should know he was not someone to be trifled with now.

"Heh heh!"

Yu Xiaogang immediately shook his head and chuckled. He was not angered by Xiao Lin looking down on his appearance.

That was what a true Grandmaster was like.

"You've come to the right person. I've studied fifty-eight Soul Masters with staff-type martial souls. Not long ago, I even published a new thesis in Spirit News. Xiao Lin, you can't go wrong listening to me."

After putting on the airs of a Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang began publicly explaining his theories.

"Of those fifty-eight Soul Masters, forty-one possessed wooden staffs, so they hold no reference value for you. But several of the others had iron staffs or better, making them the most suitable reference subjects for you."

"One particularly representative example is the current Soul Emperor Li Yusong. His martial soul is the Dragon Pattern Staff, and his First Soul Skill increases attack power by 200%."

"Besides that, there are also two Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, both of whom possess staff-type martial souls—the Coiling Dragon Staff. Their First Soul Skill is Thousand Jun Strength, which increases attack power by 250% and also has an evil-purging effect against Evil Attributes."

"As long as you listen to me, I can definitely help you obtain a First Soul Skill no weaker than theirs. I can also provide valuable references for your later soul rings..."

"Oh, that's it..."

Xiao Lin looked utterly disdainful. He had thought it would be something impressive.
