As night deepened, and after confirming that Tang Ya was fast asleep, Luo Can and Qian Renxue turned and went into the study, casually setting up a layer of Soul Power Barrier to isolate the sound.
" Xue'er, are you confident that you can outdo Yu Xiaogang in the basic theory debate three days from now?" Luo Can asked with a smile as he sat behind his desk.
After all, although Yu Xiaogang's theories are mostly pieced together, he has been immersed in basic theory for decades and has some knowledge of it. If you really nitpick the details, there might be some pitfalls.
"That's exactly what he was planning, to set a trap for me based on fundamental theories." Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow, looking confident. "Unfortunately, I've already planted a psychological suggestion in his mind Bai Tian. With just a little guidance, he'll steer the debate towards the < Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul >."
Luo Can suddenly realized, and shook his head with a smile, "You're going to tear off his last fig leaf, aren't you?"
"Hmph!" Qian Renxue snorted coldly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. "That guy's heart is hard. I only said a few words and he broke down on the spot. Does this kind of scum even deserve to swagger around with the title of Grandmaster?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Can stroked his chin and suddenly laughed, "By the way, Xue'er, do you think Yu Xiaogang knows that Liu Erlong from the Golden Iron Triangle is his cousin?"
Qian Renxue was taken aback at first, then instantly realized. "Does my husband mean... that he knew Liu Erlong was his cousin back then, yet he still deliberately fell in love with her?"
Luo Can nodded, his tone certain. "He himself studies Martial Soul Theory, how could he not see it? Liu Erlong's Red Dragon Martial Soul is a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Mutated Martial Soul, not to mention that the three of them can also perform the Three-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"You know, most of the known Martial Soul Fusion Skill on the mainland are derived from close blood relations and high Martial Soul compatibility. Of course, the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo pair is an exception." He paused, then continued, "He's studied Martial Soul Theory his whole life; there's no way he couldn't see that. If he really couldn't, then he's a stupid, useless piece of trash, completely unworthy of discussing theoretical research."
After listening to Luo Can's analysis, Qian Renxue's face instantly turned cold. "Given this guy's dark nature, he might have deliberately kept Liu Erlong by his side from the very beginning just for that Martial Soul Fusion Skill. He just didn't expect that Yu Luomian would suddenly show up on the wedding day and expose the truth."
Luo Can revealed a "teachable" expression and added with a smile, "So during the debate, you should start from this point. If he doesn't admit it, he'll be slapping himself in the face in public, proving that his theory is all bullshit and he's a piece of trash; if he admits it, hehe, with that incestuous label pinned on him, he can forget about ever holding his head up in the Soul Master World again."
"Great! Let's do it that way!" Qian Renxue's eyes lit up instantly, then she sighed with regret, "It's just a pity that the woman won't be able to see this scene."
Luo Can smiled, raised his hand to remove the soundproof Barrier, and took her hand as they got up and walked towards the bedroom. "Alright, let's not talk about these upsetting things anymore, let's rest. We have to go to the countryside for a medical outreach program tomorrow."
Nothing more was said that night.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, Luo Can has been taking Tang Ya to the surrounding villages for free medical consultations every day. Not only has he figured out the exact location of Holy Soul Village, but he has also gained a lot of reputation in the surrounding villages with his excellent medical skills. Everyone knows that a kind-hearted and highly skilled Doctor Luo, has come to Nuoding City.
Of course, the only slight pity was that he didn't see Tang San when he went to Holy Soul Village, but he did catch a glimpse of Tang Hao from afar.
The man was disheveled and reeked of alcohol. His injuries were severe, and he was at risk of exacerbating his condition at any moment. If it weren't for the powerful soul force within him, no one would recognize him as one of the once-renowned and spirited Haotian Twin Stars.
That day, just as dawn broke and the morning mist had not yet dissipated, Luo Can and his two companions were already ready.
"Let's go! Let's go meet this 'theoretical Grandmaster '." Luo Can chuckled, took one of them by the hand, and stepped out of the courtyard.
They hadn't gone far when a familiar white figure walked towards them—it was Su Yuntao.
"Brother Luo!" Su Yuntao waved with a smile and quickly came forward. "These past two days, the theoretical debate between your wife and Master Yu has spread throughout Nuoding City! I came here today specifically to join in the fun. You don't mind, do you?"
"Of course I don't mind, let's go together!" Luo Can replied with a smile.
And so, the four of them headed towards the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy. As soon as they reached the school gate, they saw a dense crowd gathered there, a bustling and lively scene.
Over the past three days, the bet between the mysterious female scholar and the theoretical Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang has spread throughout the Nuoding Academy, and even many Spirit Master in the city have been alarmed.
At this moment, the entrance to the Nuoding Academy was packed with people. Students, faculty and staff from the academy, as well as Spirit Master from the city who had rushed over upon hearing the news, had all gathered here early, eager to witness this "peak showdown in the world of Martial Soul Theory ".
The four of them finally managed to squeeze through the crowd and enter the academy, where there were even more people. The huge central square was surrounded by layers of people, all looking at the temporary platform erected in the center of the square and chattering amongst themselves.
Yu Xiaogang was already waiting on the high platform.
He was still wearing that black Spirit Master robe, his back ramrod straight, and his face displayed a calm and composed demeanor. However, the heavy dark circles under his eyes clearly betrayed how much he had suffered over the past three days.
Seeing Qian Renxue slowly walk onto the platform, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fist instantly. After a moment, he released his grip, his face showing composure.
After all, he had barely slept for the past three days, scouring through every Martial Soul Theory he could find and deducing every possible problem. He was now absolutely confident in himself.
"Since you're here, let's begin our debate! Today, I'll make you admit defeat!" Yu Xiaogang looked at Qian Renxue and spoke in a deep voice, appearing confident and assured.
The surrounding noise instantly subsided, and everyone's eyes fell on the platform and on the two people.
Qian Renxue walked to the other side of the platform, slowly straightened her clothes, and said, "In that case, let's begin."
The ensuing debate mainly revolved around the basic theories of martial spirits, the optimal age for matching Spirit Ring, and the identification of the age of Spirit Beast. Perhaps in order to completely suppress Qian Renxue, Yu Xiaogang immediately threw out a series of questions, each one tricky and full of traps, threatening to lead anyone astray.
But he didn't expect that Qian Renxue's theoretical foundation was equally terrifyingly solid. What's more, she could hear Yu Xiaogang's thoughts. All the traps he was thinking of and the rebuttals he had planned were clearly heard by Qian Renxue. In just a short while, she easily answered all the questions perfectly.
Watching the woman opposite him calmly and composedly resolve the problem he had carefully prepared, Yu Xiaogang grew increasingly panicked, and even a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Could it be... that I would really be defeated by an unknown young woman?
Qian Renxue also felt that the time was almost right. After easily answering Yu Xiaogang's question about whether soul power could be continuously cultivated and accumulated before obtaining Spirit Ring, she immediately seized the opportunity and looked up at Yu Xiaogang.
" Master Yu, you've asked me so many questions in a row. Now it's my turn to ask you some, isn't it?" Qian Renxue's voice clearly echoed throughout the entire square.
Yu Xiaogang's face instantly darkened. He glanced at the crowd below the stage, seeing the disgruntled expressions on their faces that said, "You've asked so many questions, it's time for others to ask too," and could only bite the bullet and say, "Fine! Bring on your questions!"
Qian Renxue's smile grew even brighter. She casually pulled out the book " The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul " by Yu Xiaogang from her sleeve, held it up and waved it at the audience, saying with a smile, "I won't take advantage of you; I'll use this book of yours to ask you questions, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was first taken aback, then a surge of joy welled up inside him.
This woman has gotten so arrogant! She actually dared to ask me questions using my own book—she's practically asking for it!
