The Grandmaster Gets Slapped in the Face

After listening to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Qi Lin's expression as he looked at Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang grew even stranger.

So Blue Silver Grass really couldn't take the poison route!

Come to think of it, that did seem right!

Martial Souls on the Douluo Continent followed the path of evolution.

Even if one started with an ordinary Martial Soul, as their Soul Power Level increased and they absorbed Soul Rings one after another, they could evolve their Martial Soul to a certain extent.

But as one of the lowest-grade plant Martial Souls, if ordinary Blue Silver Grass truly followed the poison route, it would probably be completely ruined before it could evolve.

The main reason Tang San had been fine in the original work was because his Martial Soul had never been ordinary Blue Silver Grass in the first place—it was the Blue Silver Emperor.

Though the Blue Silver Emperor was not as good as the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, it was definitely no weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer.

No...

It should be even stronger!

Because the Blue Silver Emperor was unique!

Although Tang San's Martial Soul had not undergone its second awakening in the early stages, it had definitely reached the level of the Blue Silver King and could be considered a first-rate Martial Soul.

Yet in Tang San's hands, such a Martial Soul had displayed practically nothing particularly powerful.

The reason Tang San could repeatedly fight opponents above his level had mostly to do with his Tang Sect Secret Skills and hidden weapons.

So adding poison to Blue Silver Grass—wasn't that just a complete trap?

A perfect case of playing to one's weaknesses and avoiding one's strengths!

Otherwise, with the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul's powerful vitality and Tang San's protagonist halo, Qi Lin felt that he might not have been unable to inherit the Divine Position of the God of Life.

Of course, that was merely Qi Lin's speculation.

After clearing his throat, Qi Lin said with a smile, "Grandmaster, you already have such an outstanding disciple as Tang San, so forget about me."

"Besides, I really don't have Twin Martial Souls."

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's brows furrowed imperceptibly at that.

Why was this child so impossible to persuade?

Still, unwilling to let Qi Lin, the third possessor of Twin Martial Souls in a hundred years, go to waste, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang continued:

"Do not believe every rumor you hear. Though many outsiders misunderstand me, you may rest assured."

"I, Yu Xiaogang, may only be at Soul Power Level twenty-nine, but I am by no means an incompetent teacher."

"I am confident I can teach you well!"

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang believed Qi Lin was unwilling to take him as his teacher because he had heard what others said about him.

After all, no one knew better than Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang what his own reputation was like.

However, Qi Lin shook his head and made a Little Bear Hand Spreading gesture.

"Grandmaster, I have no desire to judge, nor can I be bothered to judge, what others think of you."

"I only have one question. If one day my Soul Power breaks through level thirty, what would you teach me then?"

"I'm already level fifteen now!"

Qi Lin's words were like a steel blade stabbing viciously into the Grandmaster's chest.

Damn it, so what if he was level twenty-nine?

He might not possess overwhelming strength, but he possessed world-shaking wisdom!

Did this brat even understand the weight carried by the word "Grandmaster"?

In the end, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang turned around with an air of profundity, leaving Qi Lin only with a bleak back.

"Very well. One day, you will change your mind!"

"Because only I am worthy of being your teacher!"

With that, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back and left.

Qi Lin froze for a moment.

"Hey, Grandmaster!"

"Aren't you going to keep watching Tang San and Xiao Wu's duel?"

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang stopped, then said blandly with his back to Qi Lin, "I know the result without watching. Xiao San will definitely win."

"Because at the same level, Control Spirit Masters are nearly invincible."

"Unless the gap between their Martial Souls is simply too great. But I know Xiao Wu's Martial Soul—it is merely a Soft Bone Rabbit. She is certain to lose!"

With that, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang walked farther away without looking back.

Qi Lin raised an eyebrow. Was that really so?

He looked toward the battlefield, where Tang San appeared rather bedraggled as he tried to widen the distance between himself and Xiao Wu. If he had not been using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track beneath his feet, he would likely have been caught long ago.

While pulling away, he used Blue Silver Grass to restrict Xiao Wu's movements and waited for chances to attack, occasionally launching sneak attacks with pebbles.

If this had been the original work, Xiao Wu would most likely have already lost.

But things were different now. After Qi Lin had stacked buffs on her with his Spirit Ability for more than two months, her physical attributes far surpassed Tang San's.

What Blue Silver Grass?

She could rip it apart with a tug!

In the end, seeming unwilling to keep playing, she directly unleashed her First Spirit Ability.

Waist Bow!

Waist strength increased by one hundred percent, flexibility increased by fifty percent!

The next second, Xiao Wu's speed soared sharply as she suddenly shot forward like an arrow.

Tang San's Purple Demon Eye was practically smoking, yet he could only barely make out Xiao Wu's movements.

And seeing it with his eyes was one thing; whether his reactions could keep up was another.

"You lost again!"

Xiao Wu appeared behind Tang San and kicked out!

Bang!

Tang San immediately lost his footing and tumbled forward several meters, landing face-first in the dirt.

Seeing that Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had not gone far, Qi Lin immediately cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted.

"Grandmaster, look! Xiao Wu won!"

Upon hearing that, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, who had not gone far, suddenly staggered. The corner of his mouth twitched, and his face filled with confusion.

"Xiao San actually lost?"

"How is that possible?"

"It seems the upper limit of Blue Silver Grass is still too low. If the poison attached to Blue Silver Grass could be further strengthened, perhaps this situation could be changed."

Shaking his head, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang quickened his pace as he departed.

He had just made such a bold declaration, only to be slapped in the face right afterward. Who wouldn't be embarrassed by that?

Watching Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang gradually disappear from sight, Qi Lin shrugged.

Within his sea of consciousness, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm laughed so hard that he curled into a ball.

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

"That ugly freak's expression just now must have been wonderful. Too bad I didn't see it."

Meanwhile, Tang San climbed up from the ground, covered in dust but fortunately unharmed.

Losing to Xiao Wu once again, and after using Tang Sect Secret Skills at that, dealt Tang San a severe blow.

Still, looking at Xiao Wu, Tang San forced out a smile.

"Xiao Wu, you won!"

"I didn't expect that even after absorbing a Soul Ring, I still wouldn't be your match."

Xiao Wu proudly raised her fair chin and gave a soft snort.

"Of course. I'm the boss of all Nuoding Academy—how could I possibly lose to you?"

"Still, your strength isn't bad either."

Xiao Wu's candid words made Tang San's eyes light up, and his heartbeat quickened slightly.

But then he saw Xiao Wu's face break into a brilliant smile as she skipped over to Qi Lin, looking like she was seeking praise.

"Brother Qi Lin, wasn't I amazing?"

"Amazing!"

Qi Lin gave her a thumbs-up.

Tang San watched that scene from afar, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

But soon, his gaze grew resolute, and he shook his head slightly toward Qi Lin.

Though deep down, he was somewhat envious of Xiao Wu's attitude toward Qi Lin, on second thought...

Qi Lin was indulging in tenderness at such a young age, unaware that he was wasting his natural talent.

And what about himself?

Not only did he possess Twin Martial Souls, but he cultivated so diligently and had a famous teacher like the Grandmaster guiding him.

With all three combined, given enough time, he would surely leave Qi Lin far behind.

In the end, they would only be people from two different worlds.

By then, Xiao Wu would surely look at him in a different light!
