The scene on the screen was exactly the moment when Yu Xiaogang took Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest.

In this scene, Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his face serious as he looked at the solitary bamboo before him.

"This is a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo. Its characteristic is toughness, which suits your Blue Silver Grass well, Xiao San."

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, the six-year-old Tang San standing beside him wore a very unpleasant expression, his eyes full of doubt.

The Heavenly Curtain also gave a close-up of Tang San's expression at that moment.

And paired it with a black question mark image.

"That's right, this so-called theoretical master who claims to have taught a god, who has studied theory for fifty years."

"When faced with his own genius disciple, who has Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls, his first thought was to have him absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo."

"Is this Yu Xiaogang's cutting-edge supreme understanding, or is he trying to ruin his genius disciple out of inferiority?"

Shrek Academy.

Since the Heavenly Curtain began playing, Dai Mubai and the other five had expressions that changed countless times.

But now, Dai Mubai and the others had eyes full of confusion; they even began to doubt the Heavenly Curtain.

The Heavenly Curtain actually said that Yu Xiaogang, who called himself a theoretical master, wanted Tang San to absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo.

Was that possible?

Having a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo?

Let alone a theoretical master who had studied soul ring theory for fifty years, even an idiot who knew a bit about soul ring basics wouldn't do that.

But just to be safe, Dai Mubai and the others turned their gazes to Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

True or false, they could just ask the two people involved.

"Xiao San, this... this can't be real, can it?"

Tang San glanced at Yu Xiaogang beside him, nodded slightly, and helplessly rubbed his head.

"It really was like that at first, but then Teacher took me deep into the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt a Mandala Snake."

"Ah! Third Brother, so it's actually true."

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Wu looked very surprised.

She really hadn't expected that something like this had happened when Tang San absorbed his first soul ring.

"I thought it was fake too. After all, how could the Master let a Twin Martial Soul genius like you absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo?"

"Even the gatekeeper at our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't look twice at a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo."

Ning Rongrong, that little imp, ruthlessly added another jab from the side.

"Right, Master, were you just messing with Tang San back then?"

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang, seeing the scene on the Heavenly Curtain of himself persuading Tang San to absorb the Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo, plus the strange and suspicious looks Dai Mubai and the others were giving him—

Even Yu Xiaogang, whose face was as thick as a city wall, couldn't help but blush.

Who, who the hell was it!

To actually broadcast something like this about him, wasn't this slandering him?

If he ever found out who was behind the Heavenly Curtain, he would stop at nothing to destroy the mastermind behind it.

In the shadows of Shrek Academy.

Tang Hao couldn't help but let out a long sigh, a trace of recollection flashing in his eyes.

Fortunately, he hadn't trusted that useless Yu Xiaogang to take Xiao San to hunt soul beasts alone. To be safe, he had quietly followed along.

When he saw Yu Xiaogang wanting his genius son to absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo, he had been so furious he wanted to give Yu Xiaogang's brain a massage with his Clear Sky Hammer.

A ten-year white soul ring—as the young master of the Clear Sky Sect, he had never seen a white soul ring in his life.

To keep Yu Xiaogang from ruining his son, Tang Hao secretly caught a Mandala Snake and brought it over.

That was how the tragedy was averted.

Although Yu Xiaogang had trained his son to become a God King, the idea of making him absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo was truly a bout of madness.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Feng... Fengzhi, this... this... it can't be right!"

After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Bone Douluo was so shocked he could barely speak.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, who had been so excited before, was completely numb.

Was this a joke?

A God King's first soul ring was actually a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo.

To put it nicely, it was a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo. To put it bluntly...

Wasn't this just a worthless piece of bamboo?

After holding it in for a long time, Ning Fengzhi finally forced these words out of his mouth.

"L-let's keep watching... maybe there's a twist."

Martial Soul Hall.

At this moment, Bibi Dong had no mind to suspect Yu Xiaogang.

A hint of panic in her expression, she urged Chrysanthemum Douluo before her:

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, hurry and catch up to Ghost Douluo. Tell him not to lead the Martial Soul Hall soul masters to hunt the Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo."

"Quickly, or it'll be too late."

Peerless Tang Sect.

God Realm.

Tang San, now long since a God King, watched this scene and a nameless fury rose within him.

This scene on the Heavenly Curtain was deeply etched in his memory.

This teacher of his, after tricking him into becoming his disciple, actually wanted him to absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo.

Even though he knew nothing back then, he still sensed something was wrong.

A Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo—even in his previous world, that was something you could find littering the streets.

And Yu Xiaogang actually wanted him to absorb it.

Even Yu Xiaogang himself, that cripple with half a rank of Innate Soul Power, had absorbed a hundred-year soul ring as his first.

If it weren't for that Mandala Snake, Tang San truly didn't dare believe he could have become a god.

That was why, after he awakened his intelligence, no matter how much Yu Xiaogang begged him to come to the God Realm, he never agreed.

"Brother Sky Dream, how could that master who raised a god make his disciple absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of confusion.

He had planned to absorb a Ten-Year Phoenix Baboon back then because he was just a twelve-year-old kid with no other choice.

But Tang San clearly had his own teacher to take him hunting for soul rings—why would he still absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo?

Did this Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo have some kind of magic?

"Uh, well, this, this—This Tian Meng doesn't know either."

As a soul beast, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also couldn't understand Yu Xiaogang's move.

After all, among soul beasts, a Solitary Bamboo couldn't even be considered a soul beast.

"But maybe he had his reasons. After all, he's the teacher who raised Tang San, a God King."

Just as the top-tier powerhouses from ten thousand years ago and ten thousand years later were pondering what deep meaning Yu Xiaogang had in making a Twin Martial Souls genius absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo

The Heavenly Curtain continued playing.

"As for this part, although Douluo Continent doesn't clearly explain why Yu Xiaogang insisted on making Tang San absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo..."

"After my rigorous analysis, I've roughly arrived at two conjectures."

Hearing this, the confused crowd pricked up their ears and widened their eyes.

They truly wanted to know why Yu Xiaogang would make Tang San absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo.

"First conjecture: I suspect it's..."
