Qian Gujue froze on the spot. "That's not right. In the original story, Tang San acknowledged Yu Xiaogang as his master on his first day at Nuoding Academy, practically kneeling to call him father after being talked into it. He only got his start through Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul theories. Why are they different this time?"
"Different? This is absurdity opening the door for absurdity—absurdity's finally come home."
Gui Mengguan snorted, his tone full of disbelief. "I investigated it thoroughly. Yu Xiaogang isn't the unrecognized 'master' from the original story at all. He reincarnated! He came back with all his memories from his previous life, along with that Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul nonsense he bragged about his whole life. He wanted to recreate the master-disciple bond from before, tie himself to this chosen protagonist ahead of time, use Tang San to make up for his past regrets, and continue chasing his dream of becoming a Titled Douluo. Maybe he even wanted to reach the God Realm he failed to ascend to in his previous life."
Oupai's eyes widened. "Reincarnated? Then he should know which of his theories were wrong in his previous life, right? Don't tell me he's still using that flawed garbage to fool Tang San?"
"You think too highly of him."
Gui Mengguan rolled his eyes, utterly speechless. "After coming back, this guy didn't reflect at all on how many mistakes and loopholes there were in his past theories. Instead, he decided that his failure in his previous life was entirely because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan didn't support him, Spirit Hall suppressed him, and Tang San didn't do his utmost to help him later on! He took those unchanged theories from his previous life and chased after Tang San all day, spittle flying
