The Mutated Luo Sanpao Makes Its Appearance

Hearing Lin Yi's Heart Voice, the students in the classroom could not help but gasp.

Though they were young, they still possessed basic knowledge about Soul Masters.

Lin Yi's Heart Voice clearly sounded more reliable than the Grandmaster's theories.

The teachers at the back exchanged looks, their eyes filled with shock.

They had previously only thought Yu Xiaogang's theories had some flaws, but they had not expected the problems to be this serious.

Forget it. I can't be bothered arguing with you. I'm afraid you'll lash out like a cornered dog.

I just feel a little sorry for these classmates, ending up with a teacher like this.

Lin Yi shook his head inwardly and said nothing more.

Seeing that Lin Yi had fallen silent, Yu Xiaogang assumed his theory had stunned him. He nodded with satisfaction. "Sit down. Remember, my theories have all undergone rigorous research. You may not understand them at this stage, but you will grasp their deeper meaning in the future."

Deeper meaning? More like a deeper pit!

Lin Yi sat down gloomily, tearing into him in his heart.

Rigorous research, my ass. Your research sample was probably just that farting Luo Sanpao of yours, wasn't it?

No wonder those monsters at Shrek Academy didn't respect you at first in the original story. With theories at this level, it would be strange if they did.

Only an outsider like Tang San, who knew nothing about the basic common sense of the Douluo Continent, would worship you as some Grandmaster.

Beside him, Xiao Wu's eyes widened in disbelief as she listened.

She had originally only found Yu Xiaogang's theories somewhat boring. Now that she heard Lin Yi put it this way, she realized the problem was far more serious.

She instinctively touched her neck.

If she followed Yu Xiaogang's theories, what should she choose for her first soul skill?

A ranged attack?

A rabbit learning ranged attacks?

The thought alone was absurd.

At the podium, Yu Xiaogang motioned for Lin Yi to sit down before continuing. "Next, we will discuss Martial Soul Mutation..."

Here comes the main event: a live lesson on Luo Sanpao's failed mutation case.

Upon hearing this Heart Voice, everyone immediately refocused.

This topic truly was fascinating.

Yu Xiaogang swept his gaze across the classroom, straightening his back even further. "Martial Soul Mutation is divided into Beneficial Mutation and Malignant Mutation. Beneficial Mutation improves the quality of a Martial Soul, while Malignant Mutation weakens its abilities."

Then do you consider Luo Sanpao's mutation beneficial or malignant?

Oh, sorry. I forgot—you don't even know what kind of mutation it counts as yourself.

After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul you were so proud of mutated into some freak that attacks by farting... whether it's a dog or a pig, nobody knows. This case really is a classic.

"Pfft."

This time, all the teachers and students could not help laughing, except for Tang San, who wore a baffled expression.

Yu Xiaogang finally exploded. "What is so funny? If you do not wish to listen, you may say so directly. There is no need for these little tricks behind my back."

At once, everyone suppressed their laughter.

They truly feared that this Grandmaster would stop teaching and leave.

After all, they had not encountered anything this entertaining in a very, very long time.

As their representative, Teacher Li apologized, "Sorry, Grandmaster Yu. Please continue, please continue."

Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to snort coldly and continue the lesson. "I have studied a large number of mutation cases and found that Martial Soul Mutation is often related to factors such as a Soul Master's bloodline, environment, and emotions..."

Studied them? How many samples did you actually observe?

Spirit Hall's Complete Records of Martial Soul Mutation contains more than three hundred cases, nearly two hundred of which have detailed records. Are you sure your research is more comprehensive than that?

And the claim that emotions affect mutation was proven to be pseudoscience long ago, all right?

The teachers at the back exchanged glances.

Spirit Hall's Complete Records of Martial Soul Mutation?

That was classified internal material. Ordinary Soul Masters could not access it at all.

How did this Lin Yi know about it?

Could his identity be anything but ordinary?

Yu Xiaogang knew none of this. Immersed in his own theoretical world, he said, "I once saw a case where a child's Martial Soul had originally been an ordinary kitchen knife, but during a life-or-death crisis, it mutated into a Blazing Blade with a fire attribute."

A kitchen knife turning into a Blazing Blade? Isn't that what happened to Old Liu's son from the Nuoding City blacksmith shop a few years ago?

That child had clearly absorbed a century-old fire-attribute soul herb. What did that have to do with a life-or-death crisis?

And after the mutation, they tested him. His Innate Soul Power was still only half a level, and the quality of his Martial Soul had not improved at all. It just gained a fire effect.

As soon as this Heart Voice emerged, a wave of stifled laughter suddenly rose in the classroom.

Those who knew about the incident could not help covering their mouths, afraid they would laugh out loud.

Yu Xiaogang frowned. "What is so funny?"

"N-Nothing." A student hurriedly waved his hands. "I just thought a Flame Kitchen Knife sounded rather interesting."

Yu Xiaogang shot him a dissatisfied glare and continued. "Therefore, I believe that intense emotional stimulation is one of the important factors that trigger Martial Soul Mutation."

Important factor?

Then why haven't many Soul Masters who went through life-or-death crises experienced Martial Soul Mutation?

You dare present such a sweeping conclusion based on isolated cases? Could you possibly be any more full of hot air?

Lin Yi shook his head and drew a huge question mark in his notebook.

Xiao Wu leaned over and asked softly, "Lin Yi, do you think the Grandmaster is right?"

Hm? This girl sure has a lot of questions today.

Lin Yi paused, then replied in a lowered voice, "The Grandmaster's theories have great reference value."

His words said one thing, but inwardly, he was mocking him.

Reference value? More like reverse reference. Follow his advice, and you'll definitely take the long way around.

But I can't say that in public. This Grandmaster is awfully petty, after all.

Xiao Wu pursed her lips to hide a smile. She was becoming increasingly interested in this new classmate.

In the corner of the classroom, Tang San watched Xiao Wu and Lin Yi whispering to each other again, and his brow furrowed even more deeply.

He did not understand why Xiao Wu had changed so quickly.

And the atmosphere throughout the classroom was strange.

Everyone seemed to be paying attention to Lin Yi, yet no one dared look at him openly. They could only sneak glances at him.

This feeling of being excluded made Tang San deeply uncomfortable.

At the podium, Yu Xiaogang abruptly shifted the subject. "Next, I will tell you about a mutation case I experienced personally."

Here it comes, here it comes. Luo Sanpao is about to make its entrance.

Lin Yi perked up and sat straighter.

The other students also pricked up their ears, their expressions exceedingly serious.

"My Martial Soul should originally have been the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon." There was a trace of barely perceptible bitterness in Yu Xiaogang's voice. "But when I awakened at the age of six, a Malignant Mutation occurred."

The classroom fell silent.

This time, it was truly silent, because everyone wanted to hear every word clearly.

"After the mutation, my Martial Soul became what you all now know it to be." Yu Xiaogang did not directly say Luo Sanpao's name, but everyone knew what he meant.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon mutating into Luo Sanpao truly is a textbook case of Malignant Mutation.

But Grandmaster, are you really certain it was a Malignant Mutation?

Yu Xiaogang paused, seemingly recalling something painful. "This mutation not only changed the form of my Martial Soul, but also left me with only half a level of Innate Soul Power. For the rest of my life, I fear I will never break through level thirty."

His tone was full of regret and helplessness.

The students and teachers all sympathized with him deeply, but more than that, they were eagerly awaiting Lin Yi's Heart Voice commentary.

They wanted to hear what different perspective this young prophet had on the Grandmaster's experience.
