Douluo: So You're the One Called the Theory Master?

"Forget it. Do your best."

Thinking of that female Soul Ancestor, Chen Xin wanted to say something, but ultimately gave up.

The Martial Soul Hall Saintess was someone remarkable, but was the young master of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect any less so?

"Grandpa Sword, just watch closely."

Ning Qinghe paid it no mind. Everything was within his grasp.

As for the future Tang God King, Yu Xiaogang, and the others, he had never harbored any particular malice toward them.

All these years, he had never mobilized anyone to target them.

Right now, they were nothing much. If anything, they should have been the ones worried about his existence.

What concerned him more was the possibility that Pope Bibi Dong might make a move against them in the future.

For now, the future Tang God King was at most a point of reference, letting him know when Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall would start causing trouble.

But judging from their respective forces and circumstances, conflict was only a matter of time.

Besides, with him here, the Immortal Herbs would not fall into their hands.

That would make the future Tang God King's path even harder, along with the original Shrek Seven Devils.

He could not possibly pass up things like Immortal Herbs and hand them over to them.

Since they had come knocking to join in the fun, he needed to raise the stakes for them in this match.

That was probably how the protagonist was supposed to be.

It was still mostly about conflicts of interest.

As long as there was no conflict of interest,

Tang San was more of a reference point to him.

On top of that, Ning Qinghe had intercepted things that Tang San would have obtained. In his view, that would make it even harder for Tang San to become a god.

With the Personal Guard's return,

there was soon no need to keep the news hidden.

At Ning Fengzhi's instruction, the Personal Guard spoke, and everyone learned what had happened.

Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and even Hu Liena had all accepted the challenge.

Since they were going to fight, then they would fight.

Once Ning Qinghe appeared, he would battle them.

Everyone could hear the confidence and flamboyance in those words.

"That is the young master's intention."

The Personal Guard spoke with admiration and excitement, looking at Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others with a hint of disdain.

Anyone who did not know better would have thought that he was the one about to step onto the arena, and that he was the one who had absorbed a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring today.

Those words immediately stiffened several people's expressions, Yu Xiaogang's among them.

He had not expected that even after Tang San stepped up for him, his name would still be brought up in this situation.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he could not. If he said no, it would seem as though he was afraid, as if he were taking back what he had just said.

That would make him look even more ridiculous.

It doesn't matter. There's still that Martial Soul Hall Saintess. She isn't weak.

Thinking of the Martial Soul Hall Saintess, Yu Xiaogang also thought of the previous Martial Soul Hall Saintess, Bibi Dong. She would definitely be able to deal with Ning Qinghe.

Once that arrogant, conceited fellow suffered a crushing defeat, his own situation would amount to nothing.

Yu Xiaogang consoled himself and placed his hopes on the Martial Soul Hall Saintess.

Perhaps she would be another Martial Soul Hall Saintess who saved people from suffering.

Tang San, however, did not care. If he had to take the field, then so be it.

He also wanted to see the power of a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. Perhaps in the future, he would need to adjust his approach, strengthen his body properly, and absorb Spirit Rings beyond his limits.

Tang San had always been a man full of ideas and research concepts. Otherwise, he could never have created so many Tang Sect hidden weapons.

By all accounts, he was a genius to begin with.

Once he had a new line of thought, he was confident that he could develop something of his own.

Besides, he had the Tang Sect's supreme arts and the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. He refused to believe that he would lose to some so-called native genius.

"Hey, did you really tell him about my situation?"

"I'm a Soul Ancestor, not a Soul Grandmaster like those two."

"You didn't pass along the wrong message, did you?"

The two of them had no objections. Upon hearing the news, Hu Liena had initially been ecstatic. She would soon be able to teach that arrogant fellow from the stage a lesson.

She had already begun thinking about how to deal with him.

But she quickly realized something was wrong.

That single statement not only belittled Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, but also carried mockery toward the messenger and Ning Qinghe.

Once she said that, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San both looked at the somewhat seductive woman.

The faint goodwill Yu Xiaogang had initially felt because she was the Martial Soul Hall Saintess had vanished. Now, he only felt that she was completely different from Bibi Dong.

What's with this woman?

She doesn't have even a trace of Bibi Dong's gentleness or kindness.

How could Bibi Dong have a disciple like this and even make her the Saintess?

With his thoughts in turmoil, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened terribly. He had already been belittled many times today.

Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had paid a price for it.

As for Tang San, he only felt that this woman had earned herself a death sentence.

It was just that, because of her status, it was not convenient for him to do anything to her right now.

Still, he added her to his little blacklist.

Hu Liena, Martial Soul Hall Saintess, Spirit Hall, right?!!!

"Don't worry."

"The young master knows that the Martial Soul Hall Saintess is a Soul Ancestor, and he has accepted it."

"Your Highness, please prepare yourself."

"Perhaps you will become that once-in-a-century Spirit Hall genius who is defeated by a Soul Grandmaster while being a Soul Ancestor."

The Personal Guard had originally only intended to say the first part.

But seeing that Ning Fengzhi had no intention of stopping him,

he grew more and more excited, and even began speaking with mockery. He was not only ridiculing her strength, but dragging Spirit Hall into it as well.

After finishing, he was somewhat worried that he might have caused some trouble.

Fortunately, nothing happened. Ning Fengzhi stood beside him in support.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo did not seize on his words either. They were more interested in seeing the battle that followed.

"Hmph, you've got some nerve. You're looking down on Spirit Hall."

"If that fellow really fights me with the strength of a Soul Grandmaster, I won't hold back. I'll teach him a lesson first, then make you find a Soul Ancestor. Let's see what excuses you have then..."

"Once I clean up all your students, you'll understand that trash is still trash. Absorbing a few Spirit Rings won't change that!!"

Hu Liena was arrogant and would not miss any chance to strike back.

She also displayed the pride she had as the Martial Soul Hall Saintess.

If possible, she even intended to deal with this so-called Research Institute and all of its students.

A piece of trash with merely half-level Innate Soul Power, no matter how unusual he might be, could never compare to her.

Otherwise, what would geniuses like them, with Innate Ninth-Level Soul Power or even Innate Full Soul Power, amount to?

A genius would always be a genius.

"I hope you can remain this confident when you face the young master later."

"Don't worry. Our young master is quite gentlemanly. He'll go easy on you."

"When you can't win later, just shed a few tears. He won't damage that pretty face of yours."

Hearing the person he admired being belittled, and seeing that Ning Fengzhi gave no signal whatsoever, the Soul Saint-level Personal Guard became bolder.

His old superior's meaning was clear: not refusing and not stopping him meant he was free to say whatever he wanted.

He was someone of some standing wherever he went.
