Zhou Qing's Concern

"Zhou Qing, why do you think Yu Xiaogang wants to take us as his disciples?" Xiao Wu was a little confused about the reason.

"Simple, they just want to be famous."

Zhou Qing answered without hesitation.

"Become famous?" x2

Tang San was also surprised.

"Although he didn't say which family he came from, his surname is Yu. In the entire Douluo Continent, there is only one major family with the surname Yu: the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Zhou Qing said, "His Martial Soul Mutation, preventing him from ever breaking through Level 30, but—"

"San'er, we discussed Soul Power cultivation techniques in Holy Soul Village. Now that our Martial Soul Awakening and we have obtained a Soul Ring, we have also learned that the circulation path of Soul Power in the human body's meridians is different from the circulation path within the Martial Soul itself. They complement each other."

"Um."

Tang San understood Zhou Qing's words. Given the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they must have summarized a method for cultivating Soul Power suitable for their Martial Soul: the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Yu Xiaogang, born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, naturally looked down on the so-called Basic Meditation Method published by the Spirit Hall. He might even cultivate according to the Soul Power cultivation method summarized by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after awakening his Martial Soul and having Innate Soul Power.

However, perhaps because his Martial Soul Mutation, the Soul Power cultivation method summarized by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was incompatible with the Soul Power operation method of his own Martial Soul.

The inability to break through Level 30 is probably due to the fact that the two are almost completely incompatible.

If that were all, it would be fine, but Yu Xiaogang has been depressed for so long, and he even said that he knows a lot about the cultivation methods of Soul Beast and Soul Master, but he can't even think of this simplest thing. I'm afraid he has never thought about communicating with his Martial Soul in any way.

What kind of Grandmaster is this?

At best, he's just a bookworm who's memorized a lot of knowledge about Martial Soul and Soul Beast.

"Therefore, the fundamental reason why Yu Xiaogang cannot break through Level 30 is not because his Martial Soul Mutation or his Innate Soul Power is low, but because he is too ambitious and never thought about being down-to-earth," Zhou Qing continued. "After all, he was born standing in the sky, looking down on us commoners, but his awakened Martial Soul was mutated, which dealt him a huge blow in his childhood. Perhaps at the moment his Martial Soul Awakening and his Innate Soul Power was tested, he had no intention of communicating with his own Martial Soul to any extent."

"The huge gap led him to choose another way to become famous—becoming Martial Soul Theory Grandmaster."

"But theory ultimately needs to be put into practice."

"Therefore, he needs one or more talented disciples to prove his theory, such as those of us with Innate Full Soul Power."

Xiao Wu asked in confusion, "So he was interested in our talent. But wouldn't it be more impressive if he found a child with low Innate Soul Power and trained him into a powerful Soul Master?"

"Because it is generally acknowledged by all the major forces in the Soul Master World that the higher the Innate Soul Power, the greater the future achievements," Zhou Qing replied. "Although Tang San and I believe this is only because the basic part of Soul Master cultivation is not yet perfect, from the perspective of the communication between Meditation Method and Martial Soul, Innate Soul Power is the best proof of potential."

"That's why he chose us." Tang San also understood that Yu Xiaogang was interested in the three of them because of their "Innate Full Soul Power".

In the most ideal environment, as long as the three of them do not give up cultivating their Soul Power and proceed step by step, they can all reach the level of Titled Douluo of Level 90 or above within their lifetimes.

Tang San himself was certain that even if he focused solely on cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill and neglected to consider the best Soul Ring choices like Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer, he could still become Titled Douluo before the age of fifty.

Why do you want to explain?

In his previous life, he secretly learned the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to its peak, yet he was only in his thirties—

If Tang San had been discovered the moment he stole the technique, he wouldn't have had a chance to escape. But in the original story, he needed the elders of the Tang Sect to chase him down before he had no choice but to jump Ghost Cries Cliff.

When Tang San arrived in this world and learned about the relationship between Martial Soul and Soul Ring, his first thought was that he needed a Soul Ring to break through his bottleneck in this world, while he didn't need one during his normal cultivation.

Therefore, Tang San also envisioned a plan, which was to use the Soul Ring as a tool to break through the bottleneck. He didn't even care about the age limit, since he could also reach the so-called Titled Douluo realm by cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill step by step.

However, considering the enhancements that Martial Soul, Soul Ring, and Soul Skill provide to Soul Master, Tang San seriously doubted that if he did that, he would become the weakest Titled Douluo in the world.

"In short, Yu Xiaogang just wants to reap the benefits without sowing, right?" Xiao Wu summarized, feeling even more contempt for Yu Xiaogang. She then asked Zhou Qing, "How can you still speak to someone like that so politely? Next time I see him, I'll definitely yell at him."

"Speak nicely? I think I've already gone too far." Zhou Qing shook his head. "No matter what, he only talked, and he's an old acquaintance of the dean of this academy... Although I suspect that Yu Xiaogang has been eating and drinking here for years without teaching a single class, which has caused the dean to have a lot of opinions about him in private, he is, after all, born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so we have to give him face."

Family, sect...

In his previous life, Tang San was an outer disciple of the Tang Sect.

Although he missed the Tang Sect very much, the oppression and contempt shown by inner disciples to outer disciples did indeed exist.

Therefore, he harbors a natural distrust towards the families and sects of this world.

That's right!

Tang San does indeed possess the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, but what exactly is the situation with his father? Why has the Clear Sky Sect closed its mountains again?

He knew nothing about it.

Having not enjoyed any benefits from the sect, why would they speak up for the sect's disciples?

It's just human nature.

"The more important reason is that Nuoding City may be in turmoil recently, and it is not advisable to cause any unnecessary trouble at this time," Zhou Qing changed the subject.

"Nuoding City is not peaceful? How is it not peaceful?" Xiao Wu asked, swinging her scorpion braid.

"Didn't the deputy city lord buy my Head Soul Bone from the Moo Spring Ox for 500,000 Gold Soul Coin? If Lord Dales of Falling Star City is determined to cause chaos in Nuoding City, it's not enough to just Soul Bone Auction."

Zhou Qing never expected that her gentle, fluttering movements would actually cause a storm!

But at this point, all they could do was try to figure out what to do if Nuoding City really descended into chaos.

Worst case scenario—

If a real conflict were to break out, and chaos ensued, urban clashes would erupt. Given their combined abilities, they would be far from being able to take on a hundred opponents single-handedly.

Not completely vilifying Yu Xiaogang was also a way to leave themselves and others a way out.

In this era when social civilization resembled Douluo I of medieval Europe, being a purely "nice guy" would only lead to being taken advantage of...
