Su Yun originally did not want to meddle in other people's affairs.
But thinking that a casual word or two of guidance could harvest quite a bit of friendship value, Su Yun still could not help himself.
Sure enough, as his voice fell, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone cast curious gazes over, but upon seeing it was Su Yun, they all revealed expressions of realization; there was not a hint of mockery in their eyes, nor any contempt for his age.
Of course, not everyone was like this; the middle-aged man who had just spoken out was surprisingly furious and said to Su Yun.
"Little girl!
The acquisition of a spirit ring is the most important point in a spirit master's planning; this is a profound field of study!
It must be treated seriously and solemnly.
How old are you this year? Have you graduated from a junior spirit master academy? How dare you open your mouth to recommend spirit skills to others?
Do you know that a single mistake in choosing a spirit ring can affect a spirit master's entire life, turning a perfectly good martial soul into trash?"
Seeing the boss lose his temper, Kuang Nu should have smoothed things over, but he actually stood up to speak for Su Yun.
"This boss!
Don't be so agitated. Since Miss Su has spoken, she must have achieved success in her studies and be certain of what she is doing."
"That's right! Miss Su, go ahead, we are listening!"
"Yes! Miss Su, we are all ears!"
"Old geezer, I advise you to shut up and stop meddling! Let Miss Su speak."
Clearly, this group of people was deeply convinced that Su Yun came from a hidden family.
Therefore, they naturally assumed that the spirit master knowledge Su Yun had inherited was incomparable to their own, and that hearing even a little bit would be a gain; for a moment, everyone looked at Su Yun with anticipation.
[Friendship value from Kuang Nu +4]
[Friendship value from Shang Feng +1]
[Friendship value from Liang Hua +2]
While Su Yun's friendship values were skyrocketing, the middle-aged man was so angry he laughed.
"Hahaha..."
The middle-aged man gasped for air and said coldly.
"Fine! Since you have such confidence.
Your knowledge must be very profound, right?
Then have you heard of the Ten Core Competencies of Spirit Masters?"
"The Ten Core Competencies of Spirit Masters?"
Su Yun's expression suddenly became extremely strange, and this look in the eyes of the middle-aged man meant he didn't know, so he immediately rebuked him without hesitation.
"You don't even know the Ten Core Competencies of Spirit Masters published by Master Yu Xiaogang, so what face do you have to say you understand martial souls?
Little girl, ignorance is not your fault!
But you shouldn't be spouting nonsense in front of a martial soul researcher like me!"
For a time, the middle-aged man was spitting everywhere as he spoke.
Tang San's eyes had already unconsciously turned dangerous.
This person actually dared to rebuke Yun like this; he already had a path to death!
Compared to Tang San, Su Yun did not feel offended at all; he just found it quite amusing. He really hadn't expected Yu Xiaogang to have fans, and even less expected to run into one himself.
Thinking that he would soon meet Yu Xiaogang at Nuoding Academy, Su Yun's eyes rolled, and he prepared to dismantle Yu Xiaogang's expert status right in front of this fan, and in front of Tang San as well.
He immediately put on a solemn expression.
"Did I say I didn't know?
I'm just surprised that such trash theories are actually revered as truth."
As he spoke, Su Yun feigned confusion.
"Hey uncle, I see you're not that young anymore.
How come you look a bit... not very bright?"
After saying this, he pointed a finger at his head.
"You!!! You!!!!"
The middle-aged man was trembling all over with rage; Su Yun was even afraid he wouldn't be able to catch his breath and would just drop dead from anger.
Fortunately, he finally took several deep breaths, calmed his mood, and pointed a finger at Su Yun.
"What a sharp-tongued little girl!"
He spoke through gritted teeth.
"Since you claim the Ten Core Competencies of Soul Masters are trash!
Then tell me the reason!"
At the same time.
The sudden commotion immediately drew the attention of those nearby, and a crowd instantly gathered to watch the spectacle.
"Hm? What's happening now?"
"No idea, looks like an argument."
"Eh? Isn't that the young lady? Who's that opposite her? Got some guts, doesn't he? Is he tired of living?"
"Forgot the beginning, forgot the middle, anyway, that young lady said the Ten Core Competencies of Soul Masters are trash."
"Uh... what are the Ten Core Competencies of Soul Masters?"
"Don't know, heard it's the research of some Grandmaster."
As the crowd grew larger, Su Yun finally spoke. Compared to the exasperated middle-aged man, he appeared slow and methodical, looking completely composed.
"Fine, since you want to know, I will tell you.
Since you hold the Ten Core Competencies of Soul Masters as a classic, you should know about the Martial Soul Mimicry Theory, right?"
"Of course!"
Speaking of his area of expertise, the middle-aged man nodded with extreme pride.
"The so-called Martial Soul Mimicry Theory is a conclusion reached by the Grandmaster through extensive research.
Plant-type Martial Souls can absorb Animal-type Soul Rings, and vice versa.
This theory has blazed a brand new path for all Soul Masters! It gives them entirely new directions for development!
Although not many people recognize it yet! But I believe that as time passes, all Soul Masters will realize the greatness of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang!"
At this point, the balding man couldn't help but spread his arms to embrace the sun, striking a pose of pilgrimage, before glancing at Su Yun.
"To be able to know this, little girl, you're not bad at all."
Hearing this, Su Yun couldn't help but lose his composure; no wonder the Bind Soul Skill was so similar, it was truly cut from the same cloth!
His voice immediately took on an aggressive edge.
"I find it truly hard to imagine that someone could be so shameless as to take common knowledge that everyone already knows, pass it off as their own research, and publish it.
Plant-type Martial Souls can absorb Animal-type Soul Rings, and Animal-type Martial Souls can absorb Plant-type Soul Rings—isn't this something that anyone with a brain already knows?"
After Su Yun finished speaking, the middle-aged man was furious.
"Brat! What are you saying?
This was all researched by Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang; how could it possibly be common knowledge!"
The others hearing this were all confused, and some were even led astray, including Tang San, who was even thinking that this Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was indeed quite impressive.
But Su Yun revealed a look of disdain.
"Since you say this theory was researched by him, then I would like to ask: he is only 45 years old this year.
Even if he proposed this theory when he was one year old.
Does that mean 45 years ago, those with Tool-type Martial Souls were all obtaining Soul Rings by smashing hundred-year or thousand-year-old antique weapons?"
After Su Yun finished these words, Tang San was stunned for a moment, and then, upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's age, his face turned livid. He felt he had been deceived!
So this Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was still alive!
The reason he had that thought earlier was mainly because he assumed Yu Xiaogang was an ancient sage, and that his soul master theories had been passed down to this day, becoming common knowledge.
And you're telling me he's still alive?
Isn't this the equivalent of explaining to a modern person that if a human doesn't breathe, they will die?
What kind of nonsense is this? Do I not know that? Do I need you to tell me?
