Yu Xiaogang naturally recognized Chen Yu. Although Chen Yu's aura had undergone a dramatic change, his appearance had not changed much.
Hearing Chen Yu's words, Yu Xiaogang was slightly taken aback. Have I helped him? Why don't I know about that? Or does this kid want something from me, so he's saying a few nice things first to make me agree to his request?
That had to be it.
Thus, he clasped his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and looked at Chen Yu arrogantly. He nodded and said, "It's enough that you understand my painstaking intentions. What Spirit Ring did you obtain? Show it, and I'll analyze it for you."
Chen Yu resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Painstaking intentions? What a load of crap.
Did Yu Xiaogang think he had come back to grovel before him? Then he was in for a disappointment.
The surrounding students and teachers were rather confused. What was going on between these two? Why could no one understand their conversation?
A little girl asked the boy beside her, "Senior, what's going on between Grandmaster and Chen Yu? Could the rumors at the academy all be false?"
The boy being questioned was equally bewildered. He had only heard it from others; how could he possibly know the details? Still, he could not reveal his ignorance in front of a junior girl, so he said, "Just keep watching and you'll find out."
Forget the teachers and students who did not know what was going on—even Tang San and the dean, who knew the full story, were confused at this moment.
"Alright. Please, Grandmaster, evaluate my Spirit Rings."
Since you wanted to see them, of course I had to satisfy you.
When a yellow and a purple Spirit Ring rose from beneath Chen Yu's feet, the surroundings instantly fell silent. Not the slightest sound could be heard.
Yu Xiaogang, standing before Chen Yu, froze in a daze and did not recover for a long while.
Only after some time did he come back to his senses. Pointing at Chen Yu's Spirit Rings, he cried, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The surrounding teachers and students also recovered from their shock and immediately began discussing among themselves.
"A thousand-year second ring? Chen Yu's second Spirit Ring is actually a thousand-year one."
"How did he do it? That's a thousand-year second ring!"
"Chen Yu was thanking Grandmaster earlier. Could Grandmaster have helped him?"
"Impossible. Didn't you hear what Grandmaster just said?"
All kinds of discussions arose—some doubtful, some astonished—and the scene instantly became as lively as a marketplace.
"Grandmaster, what do you think of my Spirit Rings? Would you like to evaluate them?"
Yu Xiaogang darkened his face and said nothing more. Unless he could prove Chen Yu's Spirit Rings were fake, anything he said would be useless.
Hm?
Fake?
That was right—how had he forgotten that?
Chen Yu had only been level ten when he left. How could he possibly have broken through to level twenty and obtained his second Spirit Ring in such a short time?
Yu Xiaogang's silence did not mean Chen Yu would let him off.
A pair of purple wings appeared behind Chen Yu. With a gentle flap, Chen Yu's body slowly floated into the air.
While cultivating the Shrouding the Heavens Technique, the External Soul Bone had completely fused with Chen Yu. No one could take it from him anymore.
After revealing himself today, he would be able to fly without restraint from now on.
The scene, which had only just calmed down, immediately erupted like boiling water.
"Heavens! He has wings! Can humans have wings?"
"So cool! I want a pair of wings too."
"Chen Yu, where did your wings come from? I want them too."
Yu Xiaogang, who had just been about to speak, seemed to have something lodged in his throat. He pointed at the wings behind Chen Yu and stammered, "Ah... ah... ah..."
Floating in midair, Chen Yu secretly circulated his Soul Power and shouted, "Quiet."
Empowered by Soul Power, Chen Yu's voice reached everyone present, and the scene instantly fell silent.
Chen Yu then looked down at Yu Xiaogang. "Grandmaster, you should recognize what is behind me, right? I have to thank you for my achievements today."
The surrounding teachers and students finally understood. Chen Yu had said earlier that he wanted to thank Yu Xiaogang, and they had thought he meant it sincerely. But this was no thanks—he had clearly come back for revenge.
"Earlier, I went to the dean's office to apply to obtain a Spirit Ring. If you hadn't obstructed me, I wouldn't have gone to Soul Hunting Forest alone to obtain one."
"After buying a permit to enter Soul Hunting Forest, I had no money left to hire anyone, so I could only enter alone. I was fairly lucky and encountered a severely injured Hurricane Eagle. Who knew its Spirit Ring would be too old? I nearly failed to endure it, but I pulled through in the end."
"My actions were witnessed by a senior. He set me a trial: if I could obtain a thousand-year second ring, he would accept me as his disciple."
"With his help, I swiftly reached level twenty and successfully absorbed a thousand-year second ring. I also obtained an External Soul Bone and successfully became his disciple."
"Grandmaster, tell me, shouldn't I thank you? If it weren't for you, I would never have had the opportunities that followed."
Chen Yu had thought up this story long ago: he had absorbed a Spirit Ring beyond his level under unexpected circumstances, caught the eye of a mysterious senior, and rapidly grown with that senior's assistance.
That mysterious senior was also the protective umbrella Chen Yu had prepared for himself. As long as those major powers could not find the person, they would not dare make a move against him lightly.
From this day onward, Yu Xiaogang would be a despicable man who bullied children, the kind who could never clear his name.
Moreover, Chen Yu's thousand-year second ring had ground Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul Theory into the dirt. He would not be able to pick it back up.
After hearing Chen Yu's words, Yu Xiaogang collapsed onto the ground, his face filled with panic and fear.
It was over.
Everything was over now.
Seeing his teacher in such a state, Tang San hurried over and helped Yu Xiaogang up. "Teacher! Teacher, pull yourself together."
Tang San's calls pulled Yu Xiaogang back to his senses. When Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, his eyes lit up. It was not over yet. He still had Tang San. As long as he trained Tang San well, who would dare call Yu Xiaogang trash?
At that moment, Chen Yu's voice rang out again. "Grandmaster, your Martial Soul Theory isn't all that impressive either! Did Her Holiness the Pope not let you read all the books? Otherwise, you would not have concluded that the limit for a second Spirit Ring was 764 years."
"I don't believe I'm the only lucky person in this world. I believe there must be others who have surpassed your Martial Soul Theory as well."
"Spirit Hall has stood on the continent for thousands of years. It is impossible for them not to have records on this matter. The only explanation is that you never saw them."
Yu Xiaogang already hated Bibi Dong. With Chen Yu adding these words, he would probably hate Bibi Dong to death.
As for whether Bibi Dong would come looking for trouble with him? Chen Yu was not worried in the slightest.
Not to mention the mysterious senior he had fabricated for himself—even if Bibi Dong truly came after him, he could simply hide in another world.
"Pfft."
Yu Xiaogang had already been battered beyond recognition by Chen Yu's blows. Now that Chen Yu had stirred up his old hatred as well, he could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Teacher! Teacher, hold on!"
Tang San, beside him, was badly startled by Yu Xiaogang. He immediately checked Yu Xiaogang's pulse and treated him on the spot.
Chen Yu was somewhat dumbfounded as well. This had only just begun—how could you collapse already?
I haven't even had my fill yet!
"Chen Yu, aren't you going too far?"
After Tang San confirmed that Yu Xiaogang was unharmed and had merely suffered an attack of anger, he turned his attention toward Chen Yu.
Chen Yu had humiliated his teacher like this. He had earned the right to die.
Chen Yu, who had been planning to retract his External Soul Bone and land, instantly became interested.
He had not planned to target Tang San today, but since Tang San had delivered himself to him, he could not blame Chen Yu.
Tang San, you brought this upon yourself.
