Yu Xiaogang: Impossible! Absolutely Impossible! (Request Monthly Ticket)

Although Shrek Academy was merely a run-down, third-rate academy.

It had Qin Ming, openly known as the continent's second-youngest Soul Emperor, planted within Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Thus, once news of Over-Limit Soul Ring Absorption spread, Flender also obtained a copy of the information.

He immediately brought it to Yu Xiaogang.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Yu Xiaogang declared firmly.

"This must be fake!"

"According to my Ten Core Competitiveness Theories of Martial Souls, the optimal Soul Ring configuration for a Soul Elder is Two Yellow One Purple. No one can break this rule."

"A Ten-Thousand-Year Third Ring? How could that be possible?"

"Humans are not Soul Beasts. Although I have never experienced the pressure of a Thousand Year Soul Ring, based on my experience absorbing two Hundred-Year Soul Rings, the pressure brought by a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring is absolutely not something a Level Thirty Soul Master can withstand."

After spending this time together, Dai Mubai had long since come to trust Yu Xiaogang completely.

He immediately asked:

"Teacher, then why are both of Dugu Yan's Soul Rings purple?"

Yu Xiaogang smiled confidently.

"There is only one truth!"

"You have overlooked the most crucial piece of information. Dugu Yan's Martial Soul evolved, changing from the Green Scale Snake into a Flood Dragon."

"Martial Soul Evolution is possible."

"Especially cases like Snake to Flood Dragon and Flood Dragon to Dragon. Such cases are recorded in books as well."

A thought struck Dai Mubai, and he said:

"You mean Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Evolution caused her two Soul Rings to transform as well?"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head.

"The colors of Soul Rings are not limited to just white, yellow, purple, black, and red."

"Some Martial Souls are very special and produce Soul Rings of different colors."

"Some Soul Beasts are also unusual, and the Soul Rings they produce can have highly unusual colors."

"Based on my deduction, Dugu Yan must have absorbed the Soul Ring of a special Dragon-type Soul Beast in the sea, causing her Martial Soul to mutate and the color of her Soul Rings to change."

"Rather than possessing some Ten-Thousand-Year Third Soul Ring."

"Everyone has been deceived by Dugu Bo!"

After saying that, he immediately adopted an expression of everyone is drunk while I alone am sober, raised his head slightly, and gazed toward the distant sky.

As though he were a wise man misunderstood by the world.

A proud and solitary Master!

The chubby Ma Hongjun beside him immediately exclaimed in amazement:

"So that's how it is!"

"You truly deserve to be the number one theoretical Master in the Soul Master world!"

Oscar also flattered him.

"It is truly our honor to have you as our Teacher."

Only after hearing their words did Yu Xiaogang nod in satisfaction.

"My theories cannot be wrong."

"What you need to do is trust me unwaveringly and work hard enough."

"If, under my guidance, you still cannot become powerful Soul Masters, that can only mean you did not fully follow what I said and did not work hard enough!"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun could not help lowering their heads in shame at those words.

Because they had once doubted Master as well.

After taking in Oscar and Ma Hongjun, Yu Xiaogang had personally dictated the Soul Ring choices for both of them.

Oscar had obtained his first Soul Ring long ago, so his first soul skill remained the Recovery Big Sausage.

However, for his second Soul Ring, Yu Xiaogang had Oscar absorb the Soul Ring of a Plant Soul Beast called the Pink Bubble Mushroom.

The Soul Ring was four hundred and thirty years old, and the skill he gained was Pink Bubble Sausage.

After eating it, he could spit out ten Pink Bubbles.

If a Soul Master or Soul Beast had their skin touched by a Pink Bubble, they would hallucinate, experiencing embarrassing scenes.

The duration varied.

If their level was the same as Oscar's level when he made the Pink Bubble Sausage, the hallucination lasted three seconds.

The higher their level, the weaker the hallucination effect.

Logically speaking, although the effect of this Pink Bubble Sausage was rather sleazy and vulgar.

It was equivalent to releasing a Hallucination Skill ten times, making it quite an excellent support sausage.

But the crucial point was that the Pink Bubbles also affected the user.

Their range was very limited, and the user could easily get splashed by one accidentally.

At the same time, they could easily injure allies by mistake.

And once someone was hallucinating, the disgraceful behavior they displayed was simply unbearable to watch!

It was a case of hurting the enemy eight hundred while damaging oneself two thousand five hundred.

Ma Hongjun had become Yu Xiaogang's student as soon as he was brought back to Shrek Academy, so Yu Xiaogang had selected both of his Soul Rings.

Unsurprisingly, both came from Plant-type Soul Beasts.

His first soul skill came from a one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Starfire Grass.

Starfire Grass was a relatively rare Soul Beast. When it sensed danger, it shook frantically and released Grass Seeds.

Its Grass Seeds were highly flammable, turning into sparks that flew in every direction.

This kind of Soul Beast often died by burning itself to death.

Only a very small number survived through their underground root systems and grew again.

Yu Xiaogang had a perfectly sound reason for having Ma Hongjun absorb this Starfire Grass.

The phenomenon of Starfire Grass's "Rebirth From Fire" shared the same trait as the Phoenix. Absorbing this Soul Ring might improve Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul Flaw.

But he had overlooked the fact that this Starfire Grass was far too low in age. For a high-grade Martial Soul like Ma Hongjun's, unless he underwent Absorb Soul Ring Beyond Theoretical Limit, its impact on the Martial Soul would be extremely limited.

What was more, it was a Plant Soul Beast, so its ability to alter a Beast Martial Soul was negligible.

As for Ma Hongjun's first soul skill, it changed from the original Phoenix Fire Line into Phoenix Fire Star.

While in Martial Soul Possession, he could fling out a large number of sparks.

Its advantage was that its attack range had virtually no blind spots.

Its drawback was that it attacked indiscriminately, making it almost inevitable that he would hit his teammates.

But there was no need to worry, because a tiny spark did not have any destructive power at all.

It was not completely harmless, though. Two months ago, when Ma Hongjun used this soul skill, he had nearly set fire to the few houses Shrek Academy had.

His second soul skill came from a four-hundred-year-old Whirlfire Tree.

Fire-element Plant Soul Beasts were already rare. Upon finding a suitable one, Yu Xiaogang immediately had Ma Hongjun absorb it.

His original intention was for Ma Hongjun to gain the Whirlfire Tree's soul skill of releasing a Flame Vortex.

But the soul skill Ma Hongjun actually obtained was called Whirlfire Phoenix.

While in Martial Soul Possession, after activating the soul skill, the power of his flames increased by ten percent, while his body began spinning at high speed like a top, doubling his movement speed.

Looking only at its damage boost and movement speed, this was a decent soul skill.

But during its use, Ma Hongjun spun like a top, and he became dizzy himself once he stopped.

If this soul skill were released together with his first soul skill, Phoenix Fire Star, it would truly resemble celestial maidens scattering flowers.

If a beautiful woman used these two soul skills, their attack power might be lacking, but they would at least be pleasing to the eye.

But when Ma Hongjun used them, he was simply a pure-blooded Arsonist!

Oscar and Ma Hongjun had originally held some objections to the Soul Beasts Yu Xiaogang selected for them, but after hearing Yu Xiaogang expose the supposed Ten-Thousand-Year Third Ring as a sham with a single remark today, they immediately felt that their former selves had been shallow.

There had to be some deeper meaning behind the Soul Beasts Master chose for them and the soul skills they obtained.

It had to be that their current level of understanding was still insufficient, which was why they only thought those soul skills were useless and looked ridiculous.

Dai Mubai and the other two were successfully persuaded by Yu Xiaogang, while on the other side, Lu Duzhou hurriedly denied Meng Shu's guess.
