Greed

Greed

The audience was focused on the situation onstage.

Ratio was unlike anyone they knew. Faced with the fervor they had just shown, he had not even offered a single response, instead blatantly ignoring them.

No one who wanted to make a name for themselves in the Soul Master Realm would do such a thing.

He was far too arrogant; it was inevitable that few would understand him.

Having been ignored, the fire in their hearts had nowhere to go, and they were all holding it in now!

After all, the temptation of the Three Elements Fusion Skill was simply too great!

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly and looked at Sword Douluo. "Uncle Sword, if Master Ratio releases the template for the Three Elements Fusion Skill, will we be able to reproduce it?"

Sword Douluo shook his head slightly, a complicated look flashing through his eyes.

"I don't know either. Every soul master has a different martial soul and Soul Power attribute. Even Xie Yue could only operate it under Master Ratio's guidance. Who knows what would happen if others cultivated it?"

"Unless he can develop a Three Elements Fusion Skill suited to all soul masters. But clearly, Master Ratio has no such intention."

Sword Douluo sighed. Even now, he could not understand why Master Ratio stubbornly clung to his theories.

As long as he was willing to share them, the current Soul Master Realm would absolutely raise him onto a pedestal.

Yet Ratio had made a choice that baffled everyone.

Even Titled Douluo could not understand it.

"Do we even need to think about it? He obviously only wants to give it to Spirit Hall! Sovereign Ning, we absolutely cannot compromise this time. We must force Spirit Hall to release this theory!"

Beside him, a soul master sneered.

Ning Fengzhi looked over, his expression turning slightly cold. "Friend, watch your attitude toward Master Ratio. At the very least, you should hold him in awe."

The soul master looked embarrassed and said nothing more.

Qian Renxue glanced at the man and recognized him, committing his information to memory.

Once she had time, she would definitely teach that ill-intentioned bastard a harsh lesson!

She would not spare anyone who tried to bully Brother Ratio!

On the raised platform, Xie Yue looked ashamed. With his head lowered before Ratio, he resembled a child who had made a mistake and was waiting for an elder's reprimand.

Although Ratio had lectured him again and again, Xie Yue's admiration for Dr. Ratio only grew deeper.

"Dr. Ratio, I'm sorry, I..."

Xie Yue stammered as his Soul Power churned.

Spirit Kite Douluo could not bear to watch any longer and said, "Xie Yue is a good kid. Men should be decisive. If you've made up your mind, then do it!"

"If you insist on waiting until the time is right, it'll be too late."

"Besides, Xie Yue was only acting out of filial devotion. He truly cares about you!"

Spirit Kite Douluo greatly approved of Xie Yue's actions. If it had been her, she would have acted just as directly and impulsively.

Ratio said coldly, "Foolish! You care only for immediate gains without weighing anything else. Casting aside your own wisdom will only lead you to make the wrong choice and bring about irreparable consequences."

Ratio showed no mercy. He did not care whether she was a woman; if she deserved a reprimand, then she would get one.

If it had been the former Bibi Dong, he might have shown some restraint for the sake of his bargain mother-in-law. But no other woman could expect special treatment from him.

Spirit Kite Douluo was so furious that her chest heaved. She pointed at Ratio, her beautiful eyes practically spitting fire.

When had she ever endured such a lecture?

If the occasion had not been inappropriate, she would definitely have challenged Ratio to a duel.

Ratio had no intention of paying her any further attention. Offering a single piece of advice to a mediocre person was already the utmost kindness. Constantly correcting them would be nothing but a waste of time.

After all, mediocre people would not awaken just because they were repeatedly advised. They would only repeat the same mistakes again and again.

They might even resent others' advice and shift the blame onto someone else.

Ratio walked before Xie Yue, opened his palm, and pressed it against Xie Yue's chest.

In an instant, gentle energy entered Xie Yue's body.

That energy flowed through Xie Yue's limbs and bones, entering his meridians and regulating the chaotic Soul Power within him.

A soul master's Soul Power was not like the spiritual energy of an immortal cultivation world, which was mostly gathered in the dantian and Purple Mansion. Because Soul Power cultivation was crude, it spread throughout the body, with some of it necessary and some useless.

That useless Soul Power could not help a soul master advance in cultivation.

Now, Ratio moved all the useless Soul Power in Xie Yue's body to places where it was needed.

Joy quickly appeared on Xie Yue's face. His Soul Power was increasing!

He had already possessed Soul Power above level forty, but after Dr. Ratio regulated it, his Soul Power had actually advanced!

"Dr. Ratio... I..." Xie Yue stammered, grinning foolishly.

In less than a minute, Ratio withdrew his hand, and the rampaging Soul Power within Xie Yue's body returned to calm.

His Soul Power flowed more steadily now, all of it going where it was needed.

His Soul Power had successfully reached level fifty!

Most of the audience could not sense this change; they were too far away.

But it could not escape the sharp senses of the Titled Douluo.

In an instant, many gazes fell upon Xie Yue, though he himself had yet to notice.

Yu Luomian and Spirit Kite Douluo, who were closest, could both keenly sense the change in Xie Yue.

A Spirit King? This brat really struck it rich!

They both had the same thought.

They looked at Xie Yue, then shifted their gazes to Ratio.

With a casual move, he had allowed Xie Yue to break through to the Spirit King level. What kind of divine method was that?

Not only Yu Luomian—even Spirit Kite Douluo was filled with anticipation.

Their expressions practically screamed, "I want that."

Spirit Kite Douluo even thought, If I could raise my Soul Power by a few levels, then having him press on my chest like he did with Xie Yue would be no big deal, right?

"Such divine skill! What exactly did Master Ratio do to make Xie Yue rise several levels in a row and reach the Spirit King realm?" Yu Luomian deliberately spoke loudly, making sure all the audience heard.

For a moment, the audience had yet to react.

They had seen Xie Yue looking refreshed and thought he had merely recovered from his injuries.

But now Yu Luomian suddenly said that Xie Yue had advanced to Spirit King?

Damn it, wasn't that even more tempting than the Three Elements Fusion Skill?

One press to the chest, and he leveled up directly?

"Master Ratio, please see this good deed through and reveal that technique from just now as well!"

"Yes, Master Ratio! You are my god! You are the god of soul masters! Please release the theory behind that technique as well!"

"Please, Master Ratio! I want to improve so badly!"

"..."

The audience erupted with even greater fervor.

Their eyes had turned red, greed displayed itself most vividly upon them.

They wanted the Three Elements Fusion Skill.

They also wanted the unknown theory that could increase Soul Power!

"That's enough. There isn't the slightest possibility of that." Ratio calmly refused.
