Yu Xiaogang Takes Gu Sheng as Disciple, The Useless Master Exposed!

Ma Hongjun arrogantly spat out ruthless threats.

He transformed his entire body into a ball of intensely compressed, dark red fire.

Carrying an aura of destruction, he plummeted toward Gu Sheng like a falling meteor.

The air twisted and warped completely under this extreme heat.

Seeing this from behind the crowd, Qian Renxue felt her heart tighten instantly.

An attack that overdrafted one's life force like this was no trivial matter.

Its power had already far exceeded the limits of a Soul Elder.

Worried that Gu Sheng might be overconfident and get hurt, she immediately mobilized her holy soul power, preparing to intervene at any moment.

Just then.

Ma Hongjun's attack, laden with tangible killing intent, finally triggered something within Gu Sheng's body.

Gu Sheng felt a sudden tremor deep within his soul.

The second seal, which had been hidden deep inside him all along, clearly sensed the killing intent rushing toward his face and manifested instantly from within his body.

An invisible barrier appeared before Gu Sheng without any warning.

Ma Hongjun's all-out strike slammed solidly against this barrier.

Violent flames raged madly, attempting to tear through this line of defense.

Yet, every bit of the attack was forcibly absorbed by the seal, failing to stir up even the slightest ripple.

A few seconds later, the smoke and dust dissipated.

The invisible barrier remained completely unmoved.

The sound of the seal breaking, which Gu Sheng had been anticipating, did not ring out.

The seal had not been broken.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

A wave of intense disappointment surged in his heart.

"What a waste."

He let out a cold snort, having lost all interest in continuing this game.

Gu Sheng raised his own pressure to the limit, bearing down on the airborne Ma Hongjun with full force.

Ma Hongjun was struck head-on by this terrifying pressure.

He spat out a large mouthful of blood, not even having the time to let out a scream.

He passed out instantly.

Then, like a piece of tattered cloth, he slammed heavily into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, was also caught in the wake of the leaking pressure.

His knees went weak, and unable to support himself any longer, he was pressed down until he knelt on the ground.

This man, who was usually so high and mighty as a Grandmaster, was now filled with terror, trembling all over, unable to even lift his head.

"Hoo..."

Seeing that Gu Sheng was safe and sound, Qian Renxue finally let out a long sigh of relief.

But looking at that proudly standing figure, she couldn't help but complain to herself.

This guy is truly a lunatic.

He had to make things so dangerous, causing her to worry for nothing.

Kneeling on the ground, Yu Xiaogang stared at Gu Sheng's two ten-thousand-year soul rings and the six wings of light behind him.

His rigid brain began to spin frantically.

As long as he could take this young man as his disciple, the name of Yu Xiaogang would surely resound throughout the entire continent.

His attitude underwent a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

Disregarding his image, Yu Xiaogang scrambled forward on his hands and knees.

He looked up at Gu Sheng, his tone fanatical.

"A genius! You are the true genius!"

"Take me as your master!"

"As long as you follow me, I can make you the greatest soul master on this continent!"

The onlookers watching this scene were all stunned into silence.

Everyone was so shocked by Yu Xiaogang's shameless transformation that their jaws nearly hit the floor.

Just a moment ago, he wore a high-and-mighty expression, ready to demand that others kneel and admit their faults at the slightest provocation.

Now that he had been beaten into the dirt, he was begging to be taken as a disciple like a stray dog.

Such shameless behavior completely redefined everyone's perception of him.

Just then.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, walked slowly out from the crowd.

She flicked the folding fan in her hand, her gaze cold as she looked down at Yu Xiaogang, who was kneeling on the ground.

"At your age, your soul power is a mere level thirty."

"You haven't even managed to break through to become a Soul Elder."

"With talent like that, how are you worthy of being called a Grandmaster?"

These words landed like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

The surrounding crowd suddenly realized the truth.

"So he's just a charlatan and a fraud!"

"To think we actually believed his nonsense earlier, thinking he was someone impressive!"

Everyone began to exclaim, their eyes filled with disdain and anger as they looked at Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He hurriedly opened his mouth, shouting in desperate defense.

"My theories are invincible!"

"The level of soul power does not represent everything; wisdom is the most precious treasure in the world of soul masters!"

Xue Qinghe cut him off directly, her eyes growing even more contemptuous.

She pressed forward, step by step, continuing to pile on the pressure.

"Those theories of yours are all plagiarized from the work of others, copied from ancient texts."

"They were never researched by you alone."

"You simply relied on past opportunities to access the libraries of major sects."

Every word was a dagger, striking straight at his vitals.

The last shred of Yu Xiaogang's dignity was ruthlessly torn away.

His reputation was ruined on the spot, and even his breathing became ragged.

Listening to the increasingly loud and unbearable insults from the crowd.

Yu Xiaogang pointed at Xue Qinghe, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Overcome with rage, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted dead away.

Gu Sheng couldn't be bothered to look at the master and disciple on the ground for another second.

He dispersed his martial soul, turned, and walked to Xue Qinghe's side, the two of them leaving together.

Before long.

The city guard of Heaven Dou City rushed onto the scene.

The soldiers roughly dispersed the crowd and began to clean up the chaotic mess, dragging the two unconscious men away.

Walking down the street on the way back.

Gu Sheng's pace was steady, but he was deep in thought.

He had expected Ma Hongjun's desperate strike earlier to put at least some pressure on the second seal.

But the result was a major disappointment.

That level of killing intent hadn't even come close to the threshold required to break the seal.

It seemed that to unseal it, he would need to face a much greater life-or-death crisis.

The Heaven Dou Palace Coup would be an excellent opportunity.

When the time came, multiple factions would enter the fray, and it would surely be fraught with murderous intent.

However, before that, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament was about to begin.

He could test the waters there; perhaps he might encounter a few interesting opponents.

To participate, one needed an official team.

With his current status, he could easily apply to join the Martial Soul Hall team.

He would just need to find the time to submit an application.

Just as Gu Sheng was pondering these matters, his footsteps faltering slightly.

Xue Qinghe, walking beside him, suddenly extended her foot and gave his calf a light, playful kick.

It was her retaliation for the fright Gu Sheng had caused her earlier.

After the kick, Xue Qinghe turned and bolted.

A hint of delicate, feminine charm inadvertently flickered across his handsome crown prince features.

This intense contrast left Gu Sheng completely stunned.

He remained rooted to the spot, his gaze fixed firmly on that retreating figure.

Xue Qinghe ran for a short distance.

Seeing that Gu Sheng had not followed, he came to a halt.

He turned around and waved triumphantly at Gu Sheng.

"What are you thinking about? You look so entranced."

Seeing this, Gu Sheng offered a faint smile.

Seizing the opportunity, his figure flashed forward in a sudden blur.

Gu Sheng grabbed his wrist and pulled him directly into a deserted alleyway.

He pinned Qian Renxue against the wall.

His hands began to wander restlessly across her waist.

Accompanied by a bout of intimate nuzzling.

Hot breath struck directly against her neck, causing Qian Renxue's body to go limp.
