Lightning crackled around Su Zhe, his white hair complementing his imposing aura.

He looked like the Lord of Thunder.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up as he looked at Su Ze.

The way this youngster was surrounded by lightning reminded him of the legendary Element Spirit.

Moreover, his aura was even more powerful than that of his own Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Such an aura, combined with such talent.

If only he could take the boy as his disciple.

And with Tang San, who possessed Twin Martial Souls...

His fame across the continent was within reach.

While feeling excited, a dark thought involuntarily surfaced in Yu Xiaogang's mind.

He, the son of the Lightning Tyrant Family's Patriarch, had inherited a waste martial soul.

It was useless for anything but farting.

This youngster in front of him, born into a commoner family, was lucky enough to awaken such a powerful lightning attribute martial soul.

Why?

Why wasn't it him who awakened such a lightning attribute martial soul?

This dark, jealous thought influenced Yu Xiaogang.

Although lightning attribute soul masters pursued the path of Extreme Lightning.

The Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan and Thunder Academy both recommended the path of Extreme Lightning.

Still, driven by jealousy, Yu Xiaogang spoke against his better judgment: "For your First Soul Ring, you must obtain a lightning defense-type spirit beast."

"This, combined with your powerful lightning attack, will make you invincible."

"The spirit beast I recommend is the Thunder Earth Dragon! The Pangolin Spirit Beast from the Great Spirit Beast Forest, it possesses both defense and lightning attributes."

"Of course, other defensive spirit beasts are also acceptable!"

Within Yu Xiaogang's Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan, for lightning attribute soul masters.

If the best path was Extreme Lightning.

Then the worst path was to focus on defense.

Yu Xiaogang recommended the defensive path not only out of inner jealousy, but also for other reasons.

After all, his other genius disciple, Tang San, followed the control path.

At that time, this youngster Su Ze could serve as a tank to assist Tang San.

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Su Ze's face revealed a mocking smile.

This Yu Xiaogang truly had nothing substantial.

He actually suggested that a Lightning Attribute Soul Master should follow the defensive path.

Lightning was inherently the strongest offensive attribute in the world.

And there was a good saying, the best defense is offense.

Follow the defensive path?

Then why would he awaken a Lightning Attribute Martial Soul?

He might as well awaken an Earth Attribute Martial Soul directly.

"Since Master believes that the Lightning Attribute Martial Soul should follow the defensive path, then I have nothing more to say to you."

"I personally believe that Extreme Lightning is the path that we Lightning Attribute Soul Masters should take."

"Master's argument, hehe!"

As he spoke, Su Ze's face showed a mocking smile.

Hearing Su Ze say he wanted to pursue Extreme Lightning and even mock him.

Yu Xiaogang's first reaction was shame.

He was indeed jealous of the youngster's Lightning Talent.

So he deliberately recommended a bad path for Su Ze.

He didn't expect Su Ze to not believe him at all.

And choose to forge his own path.

What's more important was that the path he chose was the correct one.

Thinking that Su Ze not only mocked him but was also taking the most suitable path for a Lightning Attribute Soul Master, Extreme Lightning.

With the combined emotions of jealousy and shame.

Yu Xiaogang's emotions shifted from simple guilt and unease to angry embarrassment.

His gaze swept over Su Ze's coarse cloth clothing.

The matter of Su Ze being exempted from tuition fees flashed through his mind.

The pride of being a disciple of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan surged in his heart once more.

A mere low-class commoner.

He just got good luck and awakened a powerful lightning attribute martial soul.

And he even has innate full soul power.

Yet he, Yu Xiaogang, as a son of the Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Awakened only a Luo San Pao that only knows how to fart.

Heaven is unfair.

His heart was filled with the anger of mockery, and the shame of his schemes failing.

Most importantly, it was jealousy of Su Ze's talent.

Yu Xiaogang spoke angrily, "Kid, don't think that just because you have good talent and have read a few books, you can refute my theories!"

"I'm telling you, this kind of terrible attitude, and your behavior of sticking to your wrong theoretical ideas!"

"Will cause you to waste the talent you got through good luck."

"And more importantly, I will not take someone like you as a disciple."

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's angry words, Su Ze's face once again showed a mocking smile.

Of all Yu Xiaogang's words, the only thing that could be called a threat was not taking him as a disciple.

Could this be considered a threat?

It would only be a threat if he actually took him as a disciple, right?

And for some reason, when Yu Xiaogang talked about his talent, his tone always felt a little off.

It felt somewhat sour.

Thinking of this, Su Ze mockingly said, "Yu Xiaogang, is it?"

"It's only because I have good upbringing and manners that I call you Master."

"Otherwise, with your harmful theoretical level, I feel dirty just speaking a word to you."

"I don't know what method you used to trick the Dean, but just from your mouth, saying that lightning attribute soul masters need to take a defensive path."

"I knew it, you're just a useless piece of trash."

"And Yu Xiaogang, I've heard you mention my talent multiple times. I think you awakened a trash Martial Soul and are now jealous of my talent."

Su Ze felt exceptionally pleased as he said this.

That bastard Yu Xiaogang!

He even came to find him specifically.

What a waste of his time.

He had initially thought that Yu Xiaogang, after more than twenty years of research, and being from the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan, would be able to offer some refreshing insights on acquiring Soul Rings.

After all, even the most useless person would have achieved something after researching a path for over twenty years.

But Yu Xiaogang actually suggested that Lightning Attribute Soul Masters should cultivate defense.

Su Ze could only think of two possibilities: either Yu Xiaogang was an idiot, or he had ulterior motives.

Coupled with Yu Xiaogang's sour tone when previously mentioning his talent, Su Ze leaned heavily towards the latter.

After all, Yu Xiaogang was the Son of the Patriarch of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Even if he couldn't figure out Lightning Attribute Soul Rings, he must have known, through osmosis, the best direction for cultivating and acquiring Lightning Attribute Soul Rings.

Therefore, Su Ze felt no psychological pressure when scolding Yu Xiaogang.

Upon hearing Su Ze's words, Yu Xiaogang's gaunt face visibly flushed red.

Lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest knife.

Yu Xiaogang was already jealous of Su Ze's Lightning Talent.

Now that it had been exposed, his anger surged, and Yu Xiaogang felt a sweetness in his chest.

He had the urge to spit blood.

And more importantly, everything Su Ze said was the truth.

His theories are indeed considered waste in the Soul World.

He is indeed jealous of Su Zhe's Lightning Talent.

He didn't even know where to start refuting.

In a fit of rage, Yu Xiaogang could only resort to attacking attitude like a woman.

"You kid, you don't respect your elders, and your attitude is terrible."

"Even if you knelt on the ground and begged me, I would still take you as my disciple."
