Ning Rongrong couldn't understand it. What else could a sleazy man in his twenties with only a little over twenty Soul Power levels be if not a good-for-nothing?

Thinking this, Ning Rongrong began to go after Bibi Dong again.

[I Am Little Princess: You're the Pope of Spirit Hall, yet you can't even tell a good-for-nothing when you see one.]

[I Am Little Princess: The Diary Owner just said that Jade Little Sword had the bloodline of a Super Martial Soul, the Golden Holy Dragon. If he really was the so-called Theory Grandmaster you claim, why couldn't he solve his own Martial Soul problem?]

[I Am Little Princess: Even now, that Jade Little Sword hasn't broken through to Soul Elder. It's obvious that the Jade Little Sword you speak so highly of is all reputation and no substance.]

[I Am Little Princess: Besides, didn't that Jade Little Sword say there are no good-for-nothing Martial Souls, only good-for-nothing Soul Masters? He's at such an advanced age and still hasn't broken through to Soul Elder. Doesn't that prove he's a good-for-nothing Soul Master?]

Ning Rongrong was every bit Ning Fengzhi's daughter, inheriting her father's silver tongue perfectly. Every word struck straight at Bibi Dong's heart.

Spirit City.

Papal Palace.

Ning Rongrong's words had Bibi Dong's chest heaving with anger.

"Damn it. This 'I Am Little Princess' really has a death wish."

"How dare she insult my Little Gang like that!"

Bibi Dong was furious. The people in the chat group didn't understand Little Gang's talent, nor did they understand how hard he had worked to prove himself!

Meanwhile.

Lin Chen had no idea that the contents of his diary had sparked such a heated argument between the Douluo goddesses in the Chat Group.

He had only just finished registering at the Teaching Affairs Office and was heading to his Exclusive Dormitory.

Two figures blocked Lin Chen's path. They were none other than Jade Little Sword and Tang san, whom he had just met.

"You're the student named Lin Chen, right? Come on, summon your Martial Soul so I can have a look."

Jade Little Sword's eyes were filled with excitement and longing as he gazed at Lin Chen, as if he were looking at a perfect experimental subject.

At this, Lin Chen furrowed his brow and looked annoyed. He said:

"You sleazy uncle, I don't know you, do I? You're blocking my way and demanding that I summon my Martial Soul. Isn't that a little too overbearing?"

"Impudent, Lin Chen! The man in front of you is a renowned Grandmaster on the continent."

"Teacher only stopped you because he thinks your Martial Soul has potential, yet you show no gratitude and even speak rudely to him."

"Where are your manners? Where's the respect a student should show a teacher?"

Seeing Lin Chen insult Jade Little Sword, Tang san shouted angrily.

He pointed at Lin Chen and spouted all that talk of benevolence and righteousness, without the slightest sense that his own behavior was wrong.

"Are you two crazy?"

"You stopped me first and demanded that I summon my Martial Soul for you. Don't you realize how disrespectful that is?"

"You should know that a Martial Soul is a Soul Master's secret. It shouldn't be revealed lightly."

Lin Chen gave a cold laugh. He had thought he was already looking down on Jade Little Sword and Tang san's character enough, but now he felt that he had still been too generous in his judgment.

"Um, that was my disciple speaking out of turn."

"Lin Chen, could you summon your Martial Soul so I can have a look?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jade Little Sword, though people call me the Grandmaster."

"If your Martial Soul is really what I think it is, I could take you on as an unofficial disciple and plan out your future path of cultivation."

Jade Little Sword raised his chin, looking so haughty that he seemed to think becoming his unofficial disciple would be the luckiest thing that could ever happen to Lin Chen.

That look nearly made Lin Chen sick.

Still, to keep the annoying fly Jade Little Sword from bothering him, Lin Chen focused his thoughts, and the Golden Dragon instantly appeared beside him, affectionately rubbing against him again and again.

"Grandmaster, you've seen it. Can you leave now? I don't want you bothering me again."

Lin Chen's voice was cold. He didn't want an annoying fly following him around.

"As expected, it's Luo Sanpao!"

The moment Jade Little Sword saw Lin Chen's Martial Soul, he was overjoyed. He hadn't expected there to be another Soul Master in the world with the same Martial Soul as him.

This would give him the perfect chance to study Lin Chen's Martial Soul. Maybe he would even have a chance to break through to level thirty.

"Lin Chen, become my disciple. I'll take you on as an unofficial disciple, even if it is a bit of a bother."

Jade Little Sword said it to Lin Chen again.

His tone was utterly confident, as though Lin Chen would drop to his knees and beg to become his disciple at any moment.

Lin Chen was speechless. The man was unbelievably overconfident.

"Grandmaster, I can cultivate on my own. I don't need you as my teacher."

Lin Chen refused, his eyes showing not the slightest flicker of emotion.

"Lin Chen, don't be so quick to refuse."

As he spoke, Jade Little Sword summoned his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao. Two nearly identical Detached Martial Souls appeared.

Jade Little Sword looked at Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, my Martial Soul is the same as yours. If you become my disciple, I'll guide your cultivation."

"My Martial Soul is the same as yours, so my cultivation experience should be very useful to you."

Jade Little Sword gazed at Lin Chen with burning eyes.

He could hardly wait to take Lin Chen on as an unofficial disciple, then thoroughly study his Martial Soul.

With his knowledge, he believed that if he studied Lin Chen's Martial Soul carefully, he would have a good chance of breaking through to Soul Elder in the future.

"Heh, Grandmaster."

"I have a question. What's your Soul Power Level right now?"

Lin Chen said.

It seemed that unless he dealt with Jade Little Sword today, he wouldn't be able to enjoy any peace in the days to come.

"Level twenty-nine. I'm only one step away from becoming a Soul Elder."

Jade Little Sword furrowed his brow slightly, but still answered.

"Heh, Grandmaster."

"You've spent half your life without even breaking through to Soul Elder. What makes you qualified to teach me?"

"I, Lin Chen, won't have a teacher who can't even break through to Soul Elder."

Lin Chen shot Jade Little Sword two disdainful glances. He was a good-for-nothing who couldn't even figure out his own Martial Soul, yet he had the nerve to call himself a Theory Grandmaster. What shamelessness.

"That's enough, Lin Chen."

"Teacher wants to take you on as his disciple, yet you keep making things difficult for him."

"If I hear you insult Teacher again, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

Tang san shouted angrily, a trace of murderous intent in his gaze as he looked at Lin Chen.

A teacher for a day was a father for a lifetime. To him, Lin Chen's insults toward Jade Little Sword were no different from insulting his own father. That was something Tang san could never tolerate.

If Lin Chen kept mouthing off, he wouldn't hesitate to let him experience the power of Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.

Hearing Tang san's words, Lin Chen laughed in anger.

Insult? He was just telling the truth. Wasn't Jade Little Sword a good-for-nothing who made a spectacle of himself?

Even the Ten Theories he'd published were almost all plagiarized from Spirit Hall.

And he couldn't even plagiarize them properly. He'd tried to repackage them as his own ideas, only to turn them into a hodgepodge full of holes.

That most famous line of his, "There are no good-for-nothing Martial Souls, only good-for-nothing Soul Masters," was the perfect description of Jade Little Sword himself.
