Tang San's Dao Heart Collapses! Life System Crushes Control System! Yu Xiaogang is Terribly Wrong!

After a brief moment of astonishment, a disdainful sneer appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.

"Life System? What is that? I've never even heard of it!"

He waved a hand confidently, as though passing judgment on Lu Ming's future.

"Then he's crippled!"

"Tang San, remember this: the path of Soul Master cultivation was explored by countless predecessors at the cost of their blood, sweat, and lives!

Anyone who tries to be unconventional and forge some so-called new path will ultimately meet only one end!"

"They will fade into obscurity, or even suffer qi deviation and bring about their own destruction!"

"According to my theory, the only path forward for a Blue Silver Grass martial soul—the bright and proper road—is the Control System! This is an indisputable truth!"

Yu Xiaogang's voice was forceful and resolute, brimming with absolute confidence in his own theory.

But this time, Tang San's heart was violently shaken.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes reddening as his emotions began to spiral out of control.

"But, Teacher!"

"That endless life force of his... that feeling that no matter what methods I used, I simply couldn't crush him completely... it made me feel like he was utterly undefeatable!"

Tang San's body trembled slightly. Recalling the helplessness he had felt during the battle, his voice began to shake as well.

"Even now... I'm still terrified when I think about it!"

"I even suspect... I even suspect that the Blue Silver Grass martial soul was supposed to follow the Life System from the start! Were we... wrong from the very beginning?"

At that moment, cracks appeared in his Dao Heart.

The Tang Sect arts he had always been so proud of had seemed like child's play before his opponent.

The Blue Silver Grass control he had always been so proud of had been utterly useless before his opponent.

Everything he believed in, everything his Teacher had taught him, seemed to have been shattered before that young man with devastating force.

The Life System had crushed Master's Control System theory!

Once that thought took root, it grew like wild grass, impossible to suppress any longer.

Seeing his disciple on the verge of collapse, Yu Xiaogang's heart sank sharply, yet his face remained calm and imposing.

He knew that he absolutely could not lose his composure now.

"Tang San!"

Yu Xiaogang's voice suddenly rose, carrying a trace of severity.

"Pull yourself together! Don't become timid, doubt yourself, or even doubt my theory just because of one victory or defeat!"

"Your advantage lies in the later stages! Your Twin Martial Souls, your Clear Sky Hammer—those are your true Trump Cards!"

He walked over to Tang San and pressed a hand heavily onto his shoulder.

"Listen to me. Teacher would never deceive you! The best path for Blue Silver Grass is the Control System!

This is the result of half a lifetime of research and effort. It cannot be wrong!"

"As for that Lu Ming, his so-called 'Life System' is nothing more than an unorthodox path!

It may have some unusual qualities in the early stages, but the further he goes, the narrower his road will become. He is destined to fade into obscurity!"

Yu Xiaogang's words were like a shot in the arm, injected into Tang San's chaotic heart.

Tang San raised his head and looked into his Teacher's confident eyes. His turbulent thoughts gradually settled somewhat.

That was right. Teacher was the foremost authority on theory. His words couldn't be wrong.

He still had the Clear Sky Hammer...

He nodded with difficulty, forcing out a single word through clenched teeth.

"Yes."

Just then.

Knock, knock, knock.

A knock sounded at the door.

"Xiaogang, Tang San, are you in there?"

Ning Rongrong's clear voice came from outside.

Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief. "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and several beautiful figures entered.

At the front were Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. Behind them were Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.

When they saw Tang San's miserable state inside the room, everyone froze.

"Third Brother?!"

Ning Rongrong cried out the loudest. Her beautiful Big Eyes widened round, and her small mouth fell open.

She hurried over to Tang San, her face filled with concern and shock as she looked at his badly swollen cheek and the blood at the corner of his mouth.

"How did you get hurt like this? Who did it?"

Zhu Zhuqing walked over as well. Though she said nothing, those cool, aloof eyes of hers were likewise filled with shock.

Today, she wore a tight Black Combat Suit that vividly outlined her breathtaking curves.

Especially her pair of straight, slender Beautiful Legs—wrapped in tight leather pants, they radiated astonishing allure.

Even someone as calm as her could not remain composed at this moment.

"Third Brother actually lost?!"

Oscar and Dai Mubai were equally dumbfounded.

In their hearts, Tang San was synonymous with invincibility, the undisputed soul of the Shrek Seven Devils.

They simply could not imagine who among their peers could have beaten Tang San into such a state.

Tang San remained silent.

Yu Xiaogang answered for him, his voice somewhat low. "Lu Ming."

"Lu Ming?!"

The moment that name was spoken, the room instantly fell into Dead Silence.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing opened their mouths even wider, their beautiful faces filled with disbelief.

That guy who, in their eyes, had an ordinary Martial Soul and mediocre strength, relying on nothing but his connection to Liu Erlong?

That "ordinary person" whom they—and all of Shrek—looked down upon?

He had actually defeated Tang San?

And judging from Tang San's state, it was not a narrow victory, but a crushing defeat!

How was that possible?!

Time passed.

Inside another dormitory at Blue Tyrant Academy.

Lu Ming lay leisurely on his bed, his consciousness immersed in the Chat Group Light Screen within his Sea of Consciousness.

The group was bustling with activity.

[The Pontiff: Today, I went bathing with my disciple Hu Liena. I don't know why she's become so much more reserved. Does she seem to be hiding something from me?]

Along with the message, a photo was uploaded to the group.

The photo's background was a lavish hot spring shrouded in mist. The water was crystal clear, and steam curled through the air.

Bibi Dong reclined against the edge of the pool, her long purple hair casually pinned up, revealing her fair, slender neck and delicate collarbones.

She wore a black bikini that perfectly displayed her mature, voluptuous figure.

Her stunning long legs appeared and disappeared beneath the water, her skin gleaming enticingly through the rising steam.

At her side, Hu Liena leaned against her somewhat shyly, her long wet hair clinging to her body.

Her equally Hot Figure brimmed with youthful vitality, forming a sharp contrast with Bibi Dong's mature charm.

The moment this photo appeared, the group exploded.

[Bunny is the Cutest: Bibi Dong, you're so ugly, stop posting pictures already. They're hurting my eyes!]

[My Cat is White and Big: The Group Leader belongs to me alone.]

As soon as she said that, Zhu Zhuqing uploaded a photo as well.

In the photo, she lay on her side on her bed, holding a completely snow-white Kitty in her arms.

She seemed to have just finished bathing, wearing only a loose silk nightgown.

Beneath the hem, a pair of flawless Jade Feet curled up playfully, Crystal Clear and translucent like the finest mutton-fat jade.
