Ning Rongrong was a lawless little witch by nature.

Watching the Sky Screen, she couldn't help but sneer sarcastically:

"Oh my, that poor Three-Eyed Demon is just pitiful."

"A martial soul with divine beast potential, force-fed radishes for decades by someone, reduced to nothing but farting."

"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't this just wasting talent?"

These words struck like a sharp blade, stabbing deep into Yu Xiaogang's heart.

"Shut up! What do you know!"

Yu Xiaogang's face was deathly pale, his whole body trembling.

His mentality had completely shattered.

The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul he prided himself on.

The dignity of his self-proclaimed invincible theories.

In this moment, they were ruthlessly trampled by the Sky Screen.

Yu Xiaogang went berserk.

He spun around and grabbed Flender's arm:

"Flender! Help me! Help me now!"

"If it's true... I want to try too! I can get stronger too!"

How many years had he been stuck at the 29th Rank!

Even if the Sky Screen slapped him in the face, he had to attempt it!

Even if this was something Yu Xiaotian knew at six years old!

"Xiaogang, calm down..."

Flender looked at his friend's manic state, his heart aching.

"I can't calm down! You saw it too—if that Yu Xiaotian can do it, why can't I?"

"Quick! Find me a soul beast with dragon bloodline! Even a lizard will do!"

Yu Xiaogang roared.

Flender sighed.

To soothe his friend, he blurred into motion, vanishing in an afterimage.

With his Soul Saint strength, finding a century-old sub-dragon soul beast wasn't hard.

Soon, Flender returned, carrying an unconscious Earth Dragon Lizard.

It was only a low-level soul beast, but it did possess a thin dragon bloodline.

"Here! Here it is!"

Yu Xiaogang's hands trembled as he summoned his Three-Eyed Demon.

"Three-Eyed Demon!"

"Duoluoluo..."

The Three-Eyed Demon emerged, habitually rubbing against its master's pant leg.

Its eyes looked up at Yu Xiaogang's hand expectantly.

As if waiting for that familiar white radish.

But this time, Yu Xiaogang didn't give it a radish.

Instead, he threw the skinned, bloody Earth Dragon Lizard in front of it.

"Eat! Eat it!"

Yu Xiaogang commanded, his eyes bloodshot.

The Three-Eyed Demon sniffed the rank, bloody meat, then immediately recoiled a few steps, shaking its head frantically.

It had eaten vegetarian for decades.

Its digestive system was long adapted to radishes, and it had an instinctive aversion to raw meat.

"You useless thing! Even you dare defy me?"

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang's rage boiled over, and he lunged forward.

He pinned the Three-Eyed Demon's head down, forced its mouth open, and shoved the lizard meat inside.

"Eat! Eat and you'll get stronger! Eat and I'll become a Titled Douluo! EAT!!"

This scene made everyone present's hearts race.

Was this still that gentle and refined Master?

He was nothing short of a sadist.

Three-Eyed Demon let out a pained whimper, forced by its master to swallow that piece of meat.

Yu Xiaogang immediately let go, staring at Three-Eyed Demon with full expectation.

Waiting for the golden light to appear, waiting for the soul power feedback.

One second... two seconds... a minute passed.

Three-Eyed Demon only dry-heaved a few times from nausea.

No golden light appeared on its body, and its aura didn't strengthen in the slightest.

Instead, due to indigestion, its stomach let out a strange gurgling sound.

Pfft--!

A thunderous fart erupted, more foul than any before.

It nearly made Dai Mubai and the others vomit on the spot.

"It failed..."

Yu Xiaogang watched this scene, the light in his eyes extinguishing in an instant.

He slumped to the ground, his whole body seeming to age ten years.

"Why... why did it deceive me... the Sky Screen is fake... all of it is fake..."

He muttered to himself, then angrily overturned the nearby tables and chairs:

"It's completely useless!!"

Just then.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

She simply couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Standing in the shadows, her clear, cold voice rang out:

"Master, is there a possibility that it's not the method that's wrong, but the timing?"

Everyone was startled, turning to look at her.

Zhu Zhuqing pointed at the Sky Screen and said:

"The Yu Xiaotian in the Sky Screen began nurturing his martial soul immediately after awakening it at age six."

"That's when a martial soul's plasticity is strongest, like a sapling that can be pruned and guided at will."

She paused, then continued:

"Your Three-Eyed Demon has been eating radishes for decades."

"Its physique, habits, even its very essence, have long since been set."

"This is like making an elderly man practice child's kung fu—do you think it's possible?"

Her words struck like a thunderbolt, waking everyone from their daze.

Dai Mubai nodded in full agreement:

"Zhuqing is right! It's been completely ruined."

A wave of fear suddenly surged in his heart:

"If Master can ruin his own martial soul like this, can we really entrust our futures to him?"

"Will we end up like this Three-Eyed Demon, destroyed by flawed theories?"

Tang San stood to the side, watching his dejected teacher and the suffering Three-Eyed Demon.

The rebellious thought in his heart surged up again, uncontrollable.

"There are no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters..."

"Could it be that Teacher's famous saying was really about himself?"

"Three-Eyed Demon could have had a chance to evolve, but because of Teacher's ignorance and stubbornness, it became a pig that farts..."

Tang San closed his eyes.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing these thoughts.

But a seed of doubt had already taken root in the hearts of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Meanwhile, on the Sky Screen, the scene continued.

[With Yu Xiaotian confirming the evolution direction for Three-Eyed Demon]

[Yu Yuanzhen, as the clan leader, acted with swift decisiveness]

[He began mobilizing the clan's power]

[Secretly gathering high-quality Sub-dragon species soul beast flesh and blood from across the continent]

[To avoid arousing suspicion from other sects]

[They conducted these acquisitions under the guise of improving the clan's meals and refining special secret medicines]

White World.

Many older Soul Masters suddenly understood.

An old hunter slapped his thigh:

"I remember now! It must have been about twenty years ago?"

"Back then, the price of sub-dragon meat on the market suddenly skyrocketed!"

"An entire Ironclad Lizard used to cost a few dozen Gold Soul Coins, but later it shot up to hundreds and still couldn't meet demand!"

"Right, right, right! I recall that too!"

Another Soul Master chimed in:

"Our team was almost disbanding back then, but we happened to hunt a Cave Demon Spider Dragon and made a fortune overnight!"

"So the hidden backer was actually the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Old Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen really spared no expense to pave the way for his son."

"But looking at it now, that investment paid off handsomely! He raised someone like Lord Yu Xiaotian!"

The Sky Screen continued playing.

[As large quantities of rare sub-dragon flesh and blood were sent into Lord Yu Xiaotian's room]

[Three-Eyed Demon began its gluttonous feast]

[The originally frail little pig]

[After devouring a massive amount of meat infused with dragon bloodline, its body underwent visible changes]

[Its skin grew tougher, faintly revealing a layer of pale golden luster]

[Its once listless aura became full of vitality]

[At the same time, as the host, Lord Yu Xiaotian received tremendous feedback]

[His body grew sturdier, muscle lines gradually becoming defined]

[Soul Power Level: Level 8]

[Through mere dietary supplements and martial soul feedback, Lord Yu Xiaotian had broken through two levels]

[But this was not enough]
