Grandmaster: Why Did They Acknowledge Him but Not Me?

Under the Heavenly Screen, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's First Elder's words made everyone nod repeatedly, especially the leaders of the major powers.

Dark World, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"If someone from our clan discovered Whale Rubber, I could directly give him the treatment of a Titled Douluo."

Ning Fengzhi smiled as he spoke to Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo beside him.

In his eyes, such a major discovery could never be over-rewarded.

Not only did he intend to reward him, but he also wanted everyone to see what those who contributed to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could obtain.

Only then could the sect develop better.

Of course, although he had said it would be the treatment of a Titled Douluo, it would not be the same as what Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo received.

Those two were the guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if an ordinary Titled Douluo joined the sect, they could forget about comparing themselves to these two.

"For a discovery that can increase the sect's foundations, no reward would be excessive."

"Not every elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possesses foresight."

Bone Douluo cast a disdainful glance at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Third Elder on the Heavenly Screen.

"It's enough if the sect has more people with foresight. What's frightening is if there are more people like that. Then things will really go badly."

Sword Douluo shook his head.

"Come to think of it, a thousand-year Second Soul Ring and a ten-thousand-year Fourth Spirit Ring. By that logic, the Ninth Soul Ring must be able to withstand a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"Could it be that the reason Yu Xiaogang became Dragon God Douluo in the future was because he obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?"

Sword Douluo's sudden change of subject prompted Bone Douluo beside him to ponder with great interest.

"It's very possible. At this rate, his Ninth Soul Ring will definitely be able to withstand a hundred-thousand-year one."

"By then, considering how much that Old Dragon cares about his son, it wouldn't be surprising if he went all out to get his son a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"Ts, if that's the case, with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, there really aren't many people across the entire Douluo Continent who could defeat such a Titled Douluo!"

Bone Douluo sucked in a cold breath.

He now understood why the Yu Xiaogang on the Heavenly Screen could so arrogantly use the title "Dragon God" as his title and still keep it.

Shrek Academy.

"The treatment... the treatment of a Soul Douluo..."

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's face was pale as he watched the First Elder and Second Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan on the Heavenly Screen jointly decide that the Dragon God Douluo should receive the treatment of a Soul Douluo.

Thinking back to his past, whenever the First Elder saw him, he either wore a look of contempt or was filled with resentment.

In short, Grandmaster had never seen a positive expression on the other man's face.

The Second Elder, meanwhile, had been one of the people Grandmaster hated and resented most back then.

Because he had not sensed the slightest bit of human warmth from him.

The way the other man looked at him was as though he were looking at a worthless object.

This was the first time he had learned that the First Elder's eyes, always filled with contempt, could also become kind and amiable.

That Second Elder, who had always handled matters strictly according to procedure and never gave anyone grounds for criticism, could actually apologize to a child.

But why are the ones experiencing all this another version of me from another world?

Just how is he better than me?

Isn't the me from the Parallel World still just a good-for-nothing?

He merely researched a few things.

But I have also conducted a great deal of research and published many theories.

People even call me Grandmaster.

That brat's theories are completely insignificant compared with mine.

Why? Why did the elders acknowledge him but not me?

Could it be that the elders in the Parallel World are different, which is why their attitudes differ so greatly?

"Yes, it must be that way. The elders in the two worlds must be different too."

"The elders in my world are extremely strict, while the elders in the Parallel World are much more lenient."

"Only this can explain why, despite both of us achieving results in theoretical research—and even though my achievements are greater—I have never been acknowledged!"

"It must be this way!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot, and he kept gasping through his nose and mouth.

No matter what, he refused to accept that he was inferior to a six-year-old child.

Even if that child was himself from the Parallel World!

Flender watched Yu Xiaogang tremble all over in agitation and wanted to step forward to comfort him.

But when he thought of how he had failed to make money from Whale Rubber because of the Yu Xiaogang on the Heavenly Screen, he abandoned the idea.

He was truly afraid that he might lose control and punch his good brother to death.

After all, that had been his money!

[The video continued...]

[The First Elder and Second Elder's successive statements left the Third Elder speechless.]

[Yu Yuanzhen, who was standing nearby, stepped forward, looking refreshed.]

["Then it's decided. We'll give Xiao Gang treatment equal to that of a Soul Douluo. Hahaha."]

[By the end, Yu Yuanzhen himself could not stop from laughing.]

[He had originally intended to apply for the treatment of a genius for his son, yet had encountered layer upon layer of obstruction.]

[But his son had done him proud and secured the treatment of a Soul Douluo for himself.]

[How could he not be happy to have such a son?]

["However, there's one thing I need to make clear in advance."]

[At that moment, the Second Elder stepped forward again.]

["Regarding Xiao Gang receiving the treatment of a Soul Douluo, we cannot explain the reason to outsiders. Not even the clan members."]

[The moment the Second Elder spoke, Yu Yuanzhen frowned.]

[It wasn't that he failed to understand the reason for the Second Elder's decision. On the contrary, before the Second Elder had even finished speaking, he already knew what he was thinking.]

["Whale Rubber isn't exactly expensive, but it isn't cheap either."]

["Those who can afford Whale Rubber are generally nobles from various regions."]

["Next, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will definitely have to purchase large quantities of Whale Rubber throughout the Douluo Continent market."]

["This has to be done in secret. We can't let anyone drive up the price of Whale Rubber, much less let outsiders learn what it does."]

["So, Xiao Gang, we'll give you the treatment, but you can't tell anyone how you obtained it. Do you understand?"]

[The Second Elder's words were rather stern, but Yu Xiaogang understood his feelings.]

[If he were in the other man's position, he would probably do something similar.]

["I understand. I won't tell anyone."]

["But if that's the case, how will Xiao Gang establish himself within the clan?"]

[Yu Yuanzhen stared straight at the Second Elder. He did not believe the other man had failed to consider how the clan members would criticize Xiao Gang if they gave him this treatment without revealing the information.]

["...How about this? Record Xiao Gang's expenses under the sect master's name. Just say that you've recently had some insights and need more resources."]

["If the sect master needs to use them, surely no one can say anything, right?"]

[After pondering for a moment, the First Elder made the final decision.]

[With that, the problem of Yu Xiaogang's future cultivation resources was resolved.]

[Furthermore, taking this opportunity, Yu Xiaogang's standing in the hearts of the elders rapidly rose.]

[He was no longer the foolish or untalented child he had once been, but a child possessing considerable wisdom.]
