Douluo: So You're Called a Theory Master

Yu Xiaogang seemed to have no choice at all.

Before Yu Yuanzhen could make an excuse to refuse, he acted first.

"I'll do it, then!!"

"We're both Soul Grandmasters. Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has never feared anyone."

"I can win!!!"

Facing the crowd's mocking gazes, Yu Xiaogang spoke rapidly.

He spoke so quickly, as if afraid he might stop or be interrupted.

If not for the tremor in his voice and hands, he might have seemed utterly fearless and decisive.

As though victory was already his.

A level 29 Soul Grandmaster against a level 27 Soul Grandmaster—one from the foremost auxiliary Martial Soul clan among the Upper Three Sects, the other from the foremost beast Martial Soul clan among those same three sects.

He had the advantage in level and Martial Soul specialization.

Under normal circumstances, a level 29 beast Martial Soul user defeating an auxiliary Soul Master would have been a certain victory.

But now, even if the other party might have an auxiliary Martial Soul, no one favored Yu Xiaogang.

Even Tang San did not know what to say at this moment.

He sensed the reactions of those around him. They looked down on his teacher and were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

After briefly considering the situation, Tang San spoke before anyone else could, once Yu Xiaogang had finished.

"Teacher, you conduct research all the time now and rarely fight. You might not be able to test anything properly."

"Why not leave it to me? I, Tang San, possess Bluesilver Grass and am a level 29 control-type battle Soul Master."

Whether considering his teacher's status or the situation at hand,

Tang San believed this was the best choice.

It would also keep his teacher from ending up in an unfavorable situation.

"Another brat."

"A Martial Soul like Bluesilver Grass?"

Gu Rong sounded thoroughly disdainful.

Although Ning Qinghe had proposed his evolution theory, Bluesilver Grass was still rather trash at present and needed to be cultivated by Soul Masters.

As for their levels, two level 29 Soul Grandmasters were both weaklings. He almost wanted to tell them to come at once.

Others might not know about these people whose first Spirit Rings were thousand-year rings, but they knew very well.

Even the ordinary students were terrifying, stronger than him at the same level, while Ning Qinghe was a monster among monsters.

They had mastered all kinds of Soul Skills, methods of using strength, and the fundamentals of Soul Power usage at the Research Institute. Even their spiritual power was extremely strong.

They could fight Soul Elders even when they were merely Soul Masters, let alone now.

Even if the opponent were a Soul King, he would not be worried.

The two of them combined were about right.

"What does Sect Master Ning think?"

Yu Yuanzhen truly did not want Yu Xiaogang to take the field.

On one hand, he did not want Yu Xiaogang to suffer an accident or embarrass himself.

On the other hand, he knew the other side's capabilities. In terms of combat, Yu Xiaogang definitely could not compare to them. It would be bad if he suffered an even greater blow afterward.

And those words just now—he said he would do it. Why was he representing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at a time like this? Had he not embarrassed them enough already?

Tang San stepping forward was actually exactly what Yu Yuanzhen wanted. In any case, he was an outsider.

He was a good disciple, at least, daring to step forward at a time like this.

Not only Yu Yuanzhen—even Yu Xiaogang himself felt his heart loosen, and he relaxed somewhat.

Yet he still intended to make a token refusal.

But after hearing his father speak, he looked toward Ning Fengzhi.

"Let Qinghe handle it. In such matters, I respect his decision."

Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled.

By now, he had returned to his original gentle, elegant, easygoing demeanor.

Go on, choose. Whoever took the field was fine. His son would win regardless.

But his smile quickly vanished.

"Since that's the case, then..."

Yu Yuanzhen had already planned to agree along with the flow.

But someone from the Spirit Hall area in the distance saw the situation and approached.

"Two Sect Masters, you cannot leave Spirit Hall out of a situation like this."

"Sect Master Ning, are you excluding us?"

"We are guests invited by your esteemed sect as well, are we not?"

Hu Liena pulled Chrysanthemum Douluo over at once.

This time, Chrysanthemum Douluo was the one who spoke.

And the one who would fight was obvious.

Hu Liena was already eager to try, brimming with excitement.

She really wanted to beat Ning Qinghe up!!

Behind them, the others from Spirit Hall and Dugu Bo also came over.

He was somewhat helpless, but he still had to follow these people.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo!!"

Nor was Dugu Bo the only helpless one. Ning Fengzhi looked at the newcomer.

He no longer had his earlier composure.

Spirit Hall itself made him deeply wary. Before this demonstration began, Ning Qinghe had repeatedly told him to keep an eye on Spirit Hall.

Their coming to join the excitement placed immense pressure on him.

"Are we not allowed to participate?"

"Of course, it does not matter if your young master cannot fight. You only need to send someone else. I hear you already have several Soul Ancestors who absorbed Spirit Rings beyond theoretical limits, and their circumstances have yet to be confirmed."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's effeminate tone made many people shudder, but no one dared underestimate his words.

"I am not asking you for this favor for nothing. We heard what happened just now. Spirit Hall will contribute a stake equal to that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could produce such resources, and naturally so could they. To Spirit Hall, it was not even much—merely dispatching a few people.

By saying this, he gave Ning Fengzhi no chance to refuse.

Ever since arriving here, they had been searching for an opportunity to act against the students.

But even if they had forcibly attacked, those people had shown no intention of fighting, following their instructions.

Now that this situation had arisen, it would be impolite not to make a move.

They really had to thank Yu Xiaogang for starting it.

Most people present understood this, making Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong even more dissatisfied with that old man.

Gu Rong even shot Yu Yuanzhen a glare.

All he could do was reveal an awkward smile.

At this point, whether he spoke up or stayed silent, neither was appropriate.

They truly had caused this matter, and the Upper Three Sects had indeed experienced Spirit Hall's troubles firsthand.

Otherwise, there would not be the saying that the Upper Three Sects stood united.

"I understand Chrysanthemum Douluo's request."

"I will discuss it with Qinghe shortly."

After exhaling his frustration, Ning Fengzhi still did not refuse directly.

He wanted to beat up his cheerful self from moments ago.

For now, he would toss the difficult problem away.

"Then we shall wait and see."

Chrysanthemum Douluo was not in a hurry.

Spirit Hall would definitely have to witness it.

Otherwise, it would mean they looked down on Spirit Hall.
