Great Master Yu: My Cultivation Has Broken Through!

Chapter 20 Great Master Yu: I've Broken Through!

"What is that smell? Why is it so foul?"

"Damn, Boss Dai, it's choking me to death!"

"Ugh, I'm going to puke!"

Great Master Yu was soaking wet, clearly having just taken a bath and changed into a new set of clothes.

However, a foul, nauseating stench was radiating from his body. Even a rough character like Zhao Wuji felt his stomach churning, and he nearly vomited on the spot.

Shen He circulated his Soul Power to seal his nose and mouth, then moved to the windward side, immediately feeling much more comfortable.

Yet, he still felt a sense of doubt in his heart. Great Master Yu hadn't consumed any Immortal Herb; how could he have possibly reached level thirty?

One had to know, in the original story, the biggest disadvantage Tang San suffered was taking such a charlatan and fraud as his teacher.

This so-called teacher provided almost no guidance to Tang San regarding cultivation. Because cultivation techniques did not exist on the Douluo Continent, everyone relied on meditation to increase their Soul Power, with the sole exception of the Mysterious Heaven Skill that Tang San brought with him.

This resulted in Great Master Yu being unable to offer Tang San any help in terms of cultivation speed; he even had to sponge off Tang San's Immortal Herbs.

Even without this teacher, Tang San would have become a god all the same—it wouldn't have hindered him in the slightest.

Moreover, when this Number One Theoretical Master of the Soul Master World took his good disciple Tang San into the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his first Soul Ring, they were nearly poisoned to death by a Mandala Snake that suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the forest. Can you believe that?

Because he miscalculated the strength of the Soul Beast, and coupled with the fact that his own Martial Soul was just a pig that could fart, the future Sea God nearly died at the hands of a century-old Mandala Snake.

In the end, it was actually Tang San who relied on his own Hidden Weapon techniques to kill the Mandala Snake and, incidentally, detoxify Great Master Yu.

The only knowledge Great Master Yu passed down that Tang San could use until the very end was his precise understanding of the age of various Soul Beasts.

But to be honest, this kind of low-end knowledge could be obtained from any Soul Master faction, even a small sect.

A teacher's role is to impart knowledge, teach professional skills, and resolve doubts. The problem was that Great Master Yu didn't touch any of those three.

Tang San's worldly experience was taught to him by the Tang Sect in his previous life, and his personality as a cunning old fox and hypocrite was his own nature; it had nothing to do with Great Master Yu.

If one had to use a common analogy, Great Master Yu was like a "cloud gamer" who posted on game forums every day.

Because he had watched a few videos of high-level players, he felt as if he had a national-server ranking badge over his own head.

But to his surprise, not a single club wanted him; they wouldn't even let him participate in a trial.

Tang San, on the other hand, was a newbie who had just entered the game. At the start, he heard Great Master Yu bragging for his life about how awesome his mechanics were and how detailed his game sense was.

But after becoming his apprentice, Great Master Yu took Tang San into a beginner bot match, gave away first blood at the start, fed the enemy until he was super-fed in one minute, collapsed all three lanes in two minutes, and by three minutes, the opponents were all fully geared!

It even left the bots confused—how could there be someone this bad?

The most ridiculous part was that Great Master Yu couldn't even hit the wild monsters; he would even manage to miss his skills.

In the end, it was only thanks to Tang San's classic Tang Sect style of sneaking around and backstabbing that they managed to barely steal the crystal and win the match.

Seeing this, Great Master Yu's eyes lit up. Wasn't this like hitting the jackpot by sheer dumb luck?

Afterward, he would blather on about how there are no weak heroes, only weak summoners, before proceeding to lecture you with long-winded, pretentious theories.

However, after playing the game more, Tang San realized that all the nonsense Great Master Yu spouted every day was actually just common sense—like remembering to buy equipment at the start or equipping inscriptions—things that anyone with half a brain would already know.

The kicker was that he couldn't provide you with anything, yet he still expected you to buy skins for him.

As a result, the Shrek Seven Devils ascended together, while Yu Xiaogang was left to rot and die of old age on the Douluo Continent. In the end, even his Titled Douluo cultivation was only granted because that personage couldn't save face and put in a good word for him.

It's no wonder Tang San, Yu Xiaogang's "good disciple," didn't take him along to the God Realm. Given the nature of Tang San—the ancestor of Evil Soul Masters who held a grudge for the smallest slight—it was lucky he didn't chop Yu Xiaogang into pieces and feed him to the dogs.

What's wrong, Gangzi? Not satisfied with level thirty? You want to ascend to the God Realm? Are you dreaming?!

Go stand guard at the door for me. Isn't Erlong free right now? I'll help you ride her for a while.

Xiao Wu scratched her head, looking puzzled: "Master, I heard you say before that your cultivation was always shackled because of your Martial Soul. How did you suddenly break through?"

Hearing Xiao Wu say this, everyone's gaze shifted toward Great Master Yu, their eyes filled with questions.

Great Master Yu's expression shifted slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally explained: "It was because of a Mimetic Cultivation Environment that my cultivation broke through."

"A Mimetic Cultivation Environment?" The crowd became even more confused.

"I hadn't realized it before, but since my Martial Soul, Luoshanpao, uses farts as its primary means of attack, a restroom should be my optimal Mimetic Cultivation Environment."

"And just like that, my cultivation broke through."

Hearing Great Master Yu's words, Xiao Wu and the others couldn't help themselves; they doubled over, nearly vomiting.

Great Master Yu continued: "I didn't expect that by utilizing such filthy things, I would actually feel my Soul Power loosen, and subsequently, I successfully broke through to level thirty!"

Great Master Yu's words immediately left everyone around him in stunned silence.

Shen He hesitated for a moment before asking: "Great Master Yu, no offense intended, but I just want to ask—do you actually enjoy the smell?"

Great Master Yu fell silent, then nodded.

Hiss! Shen He was shocked internally: Holy crap, this is literally the Innate Lao Ba Sacred Body! So that stuff acts just like an Immortal Herb for Great Master Yu!

If Great Master Yu wants to increase his cultivation, couldn't he just live in a restroom every day?

From now on, his codename shall be: Yu Xiaogang, the Feces Collector!

Zhao Wuji's expression shifted for a long time before he finally managed to squeeze out: "Great Master Yu is truly... gifted!"

Shen He nodded and said, "It is definitely a good thing that Great Master Yu has broken through. I will take you along on this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"To ensure your safety during your training outside, today's lesson is that, with the exception of Oscar, each of you must eat at least one of each of the two types of sausages produced by Oscar."

The students of Shrek Academy let out a collective groan upon hearing this. Xiao Wu was the first to protest, asking, "Dean, what kind of lesson is this? Why do we have to eat such disgusting things?"

Shen He shrugged. "It's better than eating a fart, isn't it?"

Following that, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned toward Great Master Yu.

Great Master Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me. I'm not eating any; I'm already full from just now."

"Blech!"

Great Master Yu's words made the students unable to hold back, and they ran outside to find a place to retch their guts out.

Unexpectedly, however, today's lesson was quite a success. Dai Mubai and the other students vomited up all their breakfast, leaving them with no choice but to eat Oscar's sausages to satisfy their hunger.

Moreover, compared to Great Master Yu's previous ordeal, Oscar's sausages didn't seem quite as disgusting to them anymore. In fact, the aroma of the sausages even began to whet their appetites.

As it turns out, if you want to break through your own bottom line, you just need to find someone whose bottom line is even lower than yours.
