Tang San's performance in the Sky Screen Scroll

undoubtedly brought glory to Yu Xiaogang!

In truth, he knew perfectly well

that the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul he had proposed in the past had been ridiculed by many Soul Masters.

Not many people had taken them seriously.

Even the title of Grandmaster carried a hint of mockery.

But things would be vastly different from now on.

Tang San had announced it to the entire continent through the Sky Screen Scroll.

That meant that once the correct answer was revealed,

his Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul would become something pursued across the entire continent.

He, too, would truly become famous throughout the continent.

It would no longer be the ridicule of the past, but genuine respect from everyone.

Just as Yu Xiaogang had thought,

many people were considering Yu Xiaogang's theories.

As for ordinary commoners,

they knew little about matters in the Soul Master world.

They knew even less about Yu Xiaogang.

But after hearing what Tang San said, they could not help but consider a question.

That so-called Grandmaster must have been someone who had conducted extensive research into martial souls.

There were wise people among humanity!

"Tang San spoke with such certainty. He must have something to rely on!"

Inside the Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial Palace,

the Heaven Dou Emperor furrowed his brow.

If such a young lad truly obtained a Sky Screen reward, he could consider recruiting him.

Then there was that Grandmaster.

If he could win over the Grandmaster,

with the other man's knowledge, he should be able to offer help with the Sky Screen's later questions.

At this moment, the value of the title Grandmaster seemed to be rapidly rising.

Yu Yuanzhen had already ordered his people to hurry.

They had to reach Blue Tyrant Academy in the shortest possible time.

The Sky Screen's rewards had to belong exclusively to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Even if no one from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was selected,

they absolutely could not let anyone else receive the reward!

Especially Spirit Hall!

People from every faction were heading toward Blue Tyrant Academy.

They all wanted to bring this Grandmaster, whose theories were unmatched, under their command.

Inside a private room at Moonlight Pavilion,

the moment Ye Mu heard Tang San say that, he knew the reward no longer had anything to do with Tang San.

He would probably be punished afterward.

He just did not know what kind of punishment it would be.

Ye Mu did not actually feel much about Tang San as a person.

As a descendant of the Undead Race who had lived through endless ages, he had long since come to terms with many things.

Even if the future Tang San became a god, so what?

It had little to do with him.

Could Tang San becoming a god affect his enjoying life and fine food?

Obviously not!

God or no god, who cared?

If Tang San provoked him someday, he could just drag him down and beat him up.

"Master Ye, was that Grandmaster really that formidable?"

Xue Ke was deeply skeptical.

But she was also rather expectant.

If he could give the correct answer, it would benefit humanity.

After all, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had already received such a terrifying reward.

Humanity needed someone to receive a reward as well.

A Divinity would be best, so that balance could be established.

Otherwise, if the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King lost his mind one day and charged straight onto land,

who could possibly stop him?

"Don't believe rumors, and don't spread them. Just keep watching and you'll find out."

Ye Mu set down his chopsticks and called over the nearby dancers, telling them to change the dance.

The dances performed by Moonlight Pavilion's dancers were beautiful.

But the styles were far too repetitive.

It was easy to grow aesthetically fatigued.

Tang Yuehua fell into thought.

It was time to teach them some different dances!

As for whether Tang San could receive a reward,

she cared deeply about it now.

She only hoped he would answer incorrectly and be severely punished.

Because that man was a transmigrator, the criminal who had erased her real nephew's soul.

Unfortunately, with that so-called Grandmaster around,

Tang San probably truly knew the correct answer.

Just thinking about it made her tremble with anger!

She wondered whether her eldest and second brothers knew the truth.

If they knew that the Tang San before them was someone who had taken over another's body, would they think differently?

Within the Sky Screen Scroll, Tang San raised his head and confidently gave his answer.

"I choose number four: four hundred and twenty-three years!"

"My teacher's research cannot be wrong. The limit of the first soul ring a human Soul Master can absorb is four hundred and twenty-three years!"

The moment those words were spoken, some people in the Soul Master world acknowledged them.

After all, their first soul rings had been close to four hundred years.

The answer of four hundred and twenty-three years should have been the most correct one.

Some people even had soul rings that were exactly four hundred and twenty-three years old!

[Unfortunately, your answer is incorrect!]

The Sky Screen's dignified voice rang out once more.

It was not as everyone had expected.

This answer was wrong!

But as the Sky Screen's voice fell,

countless people across Douluo Continent seemed to have gone blank.

Even Tang San froze, his mind buzzing.

The answer of four hundred and twenty-three years was wrong?

No, that was absolutely impossible!

According to his teacher's research, it was a result obtained from countless Soul Masters.

That had to be the correct answer!

Yet the Sky Screen had now judged his answer incorrect. What was going on?

"Could the Grandmaster's research be wrong?"

Inside the carriage, Ning Fengzhi frowned tightly.

He felt that four hundred and twenty-three years should have been the correct answer.

Because he himself had never seen anyone whose first soul ring exceeded that limit.

He had, however, seen quite a few around four hundred years.

So how could it be wrong?

Sword Douluo pondered for a moment before saying, "There shouldn't be a mistake. Didn't he conduct a great deal of research?"

"Then which one is the correct answer?"

Even Bone Douluo could not make sense of it.

"Perhaps the Sky Screen will give us a shocking answer."

A glint flashed through Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

His intuition told him that the answer was definitely not that simple.

At the same time, some people had already begun to doubt Yu Xiaogang's theory.

The Sky Screen had judged the answer incorrect.

That meant Yu Xiaogang's theory was wrong.

There must have been some problem with his research.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"The limit for the first soul ring is four hundred and twenty-three years!"

"The Sky Screen is targeting me!"

Yu Xiaogang roared furiously.

He had read so much information and finally summarized it all. How could he have been wrong?

He strongly suspected that the Sky Screen was coming after him this time!

He had still wanted to use the Sky Screen to spread the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul far and wide.

He wanted everyone in the world to know Yu Xiaogang's theories.

He wanted everyone to know that his title of Grandmaster was absolutely well deserved.

But Tang San had already publicized his name.

And the Sky Screen had judged it wrong?

"Xiaogang, don't panic. There may be some misunderstanding."

Liu Erlong pressed a hand to his shoulder.

Yu Xiaogang's emotions looked terribly unstable right now.

"There is no misunderstanding! The Sky Screen is targeting me!"

Yu Xiaogang growled.

His fists clenched tightly as he glared red-eyed at the golden Sky Screen Scroll.

It was Xiao Wu's first time seeing Yu Xiaogang in such a state.

She was genuinely startled.

But she also knew how much the Grandmaster valued his theories.
