The Left Brain's Brawl with the Right Brain's Yu Xiaogang

Watching his pride and joy, the Heaven-Shattering Earth-Splitting first soul skill, fail to even touch a single strand of his opponent's hair before being frozen into yellow shards of ice by that conjured crystalline barrier, Yu Xiaogang stood frozen on the spot, struck as if by lightning.

Physical force was a no-go!

He absolutely could not win!

Though Yu Xiaogang's soul power was meager, he possessed at least that much discernment.

This white-haired youth before him was definitely no ordinary person!

Since the preemptive strike failed, I have no choice but to conquer Tang San with my peerless wisdom!

Yu Xiaogang frantically cheered himself on in his heart, forcibly suppressing the terror rising within him.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands behind his back, and struggled to project an inscrutable air of "I was just going easy on you."

He turned his head, staring intensely at Tang San, and decided to unleash his ultimate trump card!

He believed that once he spoke those words, this ignorant country bumpkin, Tang San, would surely be so impressed by his erudition that he would prostrate himself in admiration and beg to be his disciple!

"Tang San!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly raised his volume, fixing Tang San with a sharp gaze that seemed to pierce through everything, and shouted:

"If my judgment is correct, you... should be a legendary Twin Martial Souls possessor, right?!"

The moment these words left his mouth, the surrounding air seemed to solidify.

Yu Xiaogang did not stop; instead, he grew more excited, his voice loud enough that he wished the entire street could hear him:

"Innate Full Soul Power—what a terrifying talent! And the Blue Silver Grass, a publicly recognized trash martial soul, simply lacks the quality to support Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Therefore, there is only one truth! And that is—the Blue Silver Grass is merely your first martial soul! Within your body, there must be a second, extremely powerful, perhaps even terrifying martial soul hidden! Am I right or am I right?!"

After finishing, Yu Xiaogang flicked his sleeve, lifted his chin slightly, and peered at Tang San from the corners of his eyes.

In his view, he had laid bare Tang San's greatest secret; Tang San must be deeply conquered by his wisdom, moved to tears, and about to kneel down to call him "Master, your calculations are truly divine."

However...

When Yu Xiaogang looked with anticipation and saw the expression on Tang San's face, the smugness on his own face instantly froze.

No worship!

No excitement!

Not even a trace of surprise!

There was only coldness and... fury!

Tang San's face, which had been relatively calm, was now covered in frost.

His brows were knitted into a tight frown, his fists clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white from the strain.

Heaven knows how annoyed and manic Tang San felt at this moment!

This idiot! This moron! This loudmouth!!!

Tang San roared frantically in his heart.

Twin Martial Souls—this was his greatest trump card, a secret his father, Tang Hao, had warned him repeatedly never to reveal to outsiders!

But now?

This middle-aged man calling himself a Grandmaster had actually bellowed his secret at the top of his lungs in public, right at the entrance of Notting Academy!

Standing nearby was not only the unfathomable white-haired youth, but also Old Jack, the village chief who had been following him, and even the gatekeeper who had just crawled up from the ground and was pricking up his ears to eavesdrop!

His trump card, his secret—in this instant, Yu Xiaogang had stripped it bare and exposed it completely to the sunlight!

Tang San's right hand, hidden beneath his sleeve, had already locked onto the trigger of his Silent Sleeve Arrow, and cold killing intent surged wildly in the depths of his clear eyes.

The third rule of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: Once an opponent is confirmed as an enemy, if they have a path to their own destruction, do not show mercy, or you will only leave trouble for yourself!

This man has leaked my life-or-death secret in public, putting me in danger... Yu Xiaogang, you have already chosen your path to death!!!

Just as Tang San's killing intent was becoming impossible to suppress and he was ready to strike regardless of the consequences, Xue Bingchen, who had been watching Yu Xiaogang like a circus act, suddenly chuckled and spoke in a leisurely manner.

"I say, this 'Grandmaster'..."

Xue Bingchen's voice was not loud, yet it reached the ears of everyone present, carrying a sense of composure and certainty.

"How is it that I recall the conditions for the birth of Twin Martial Souls being clearly recorded in the public archives of Martial Soul Hall?"

Xue Bingchen looked at Yu Xiaogang with a half-smile, beginning his academic smackdown on the spot:

"The birth of Twin Martial Souls is extremely demanding.

It requires the quality of the martial souls inherited from both parents to be extremely close, or even completely equivalent!

Only under such circumstances does their child have a minuscule chance of inheriting both parents' martial souls simultaneously, becoming a possessor of Twin Martial Souls."

Having said this, Xue Bingchen turned his head, his gaze softening as he looked at Tang San, his tone tinged with a hint of appreciation:

"So, Tang San.

If the quality of your second martial soul is truly as powerful as he claims..."

"Then, according to the law of equivalent quality... the quality of your first martial soul, the Blue Silver Grass, is absolutely not that of an ordinary trash-tier Blue Silver Grass martial soul!"

"It is, without a doubt, a top-tier plant-type martial soul that possesses an extremely high status and is even capable of continuous evolution!"

BOOM!

These words from Xue Bingchen were like parting the clouds to reveal the blue sky, instantly exploding in Tang San's mind!

Tang San jerked his head up, a brilliance never seen before erupting in his eyes.

"My Blue Silver Grass... is not a trash martial soul? It's a top-tier martial soul that can evolve?!"

Over these past few days, he had endured many cold stares and ridicules because of his Blue Silver Grass.

Yet now, this man before him, who looked like an immortal descended to earth, had used the most rigorous logic to give him an answer that was both the most shocking and the most blood-boiling!

Watching Tang San's excited gaze, the smile on Xue Bingchen's face deepened.

He leaned down slightly, looking straight into Tang San's eyes, his voice filled with both temptation and dominance:

"I am very interested in you, and I can help you—help you unlock the true power of this Blue Silver Grass!"

"Today, I wish to take you as my disciple. Are you... willing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell into dead silence!

Standing to the side, Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned.

"Parents' martial soul qualities are equivalent? The Blue Silver Grass can evolve?"

Yu Xiaogang stood frozen in place, his mind frantically flipping through his so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.

"That's right! It seems... it seems there really is such a theory! But... how could I have forgotten it?"

Cold sweat instantly broke out all over Yu Xiaogang.

He quickly realized the truth—oh, it was because when he was sneaking around the library of Martial Soul Hall back in the day, he had only focused on copying the conclusions that would grab attention, and he hadn't memorized the profound deductive processes at all!

This was truly a case of his left brain attacking his right brain; he had forgotten his own theory!
