Tang San: I Won't Allow You to Disrespect Teacher

"Huh?"

Lin Yan was speechless! He had been in contact with Tang San for several days, and this was the first time he realized the person across from him was "Tang San"! He was the "ultimate double-standard Tang Buddha" people spoke of in his past life; he was not a normal person at all.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun really couldn't stand it anymore. He pointed at Tang San's nose and started cursing.

"Tang San! Aren't you being a bit of an ingrate with that remark?"

"Lin Yan has spent most of his soul power healing you this entire journey. Even a dog knows how to wag its tail if you save it, yet this is the attitude you show him now?"

Tang San was at a loss for words!

At this moment, there was still some logic of a normal person remaining in the depths of his heart. He knew that Lin Yan had helped him a lot along the way and that his own attitude just now had been problematic.

But... Yu Xiaogang was his teacher!

Tang San's eyes darted around, and he stammered an explanation.

"Who... who told him to be disrespectful to my teacher."

Lin Yan was so angry he laughed.

"How was I disrespectful to him?"

"He is your teacher, not mine."

"I've been healing you the entire journey. Even if you aren't tired, I am. I just want to go back and rest now. Is that hard to understand? Is there a problem with that?"

"Do I even know him?"

As the words fell, Tang San could no longer find an excuse to retort.

No matter who came to judge today's matter, he was in the wrong. A healing soul master who had been treating him for several days—what was wrong with wanting to go back and rest?

But as the saying went, Yu Xiaogang was his teacher!

Lin Yan treating his teacher with a cold attitude was simply unacceptable!

Though he couldn't voice a reason to argue back, there wasn't the slightest hint of admitting his mistake in Tang San's eyes.

The two sides remained at a stalemate. Finally, Flender really couldn't watch anymore and spoke to Ma Hongjun and Lin Yan in a commanding tone.

"Lin Yan, Hongjun."

"Apologize to Grandmaster immediately."

Lin Yan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, feeling that things were getting more and more frustrating! How could Flender get involved in this too?

He looked at Flender with an expression of utter disbelief, wanting an explanation.

Flender spoke slowly.

"Grandmaster is my friend, and his theories are the most authoritative in the entire Soul World. I asked him to come this time, first for your future lessons and growth, and most importantly, to solve the issue of your Evil Fire."

"So, apologize to Grandmaster now."

Hearing about a method to solve the Evil Fire, Ma Hongjun looked at Lin Yan with some skepticism, as if asking for his opinion.

Seeing the eye contact between the two, Flender continued to add.

"Lin Yan, haven't you already planned to start cultivating your second martial soul?"

"You don't know this, but Tang San also has Twin Martial Souls. If you can receive Grandmaster's guidance, you will very likely be able to overcome the greatest drawback of Twin Martial Souls and attach nine Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings to your second martial soul."

Hearing this, Lin Yan finally understood why his right eye had been twitching!

If nothing went wrong, for the next period of time, Yu Xiaogang would definitely use his status as Grandmaster to meddle in his second martial soul cultivation.

I'm truly defeated! He's like a toad—if he doesn't bite, he just makes you sick. The main thing is that Flender, as the Dean, is also acting like a fool, unconditionally believing in Yu Xiaogang.

Sigh~

Lin Yan let out a heavy sigh, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

He waved his hand at Flender.

"No need for the trouble, my second martial soul already has a soul ring."

"What?"

Yu Xiaogang let out a strange cry.

"You attached a soul ring to your second martial soul?"

"And you didn't explode and die?"

Lin Yan looked like he had lost all hope. "I died. The one standing in front of you is a ghost."

Unsurprisingly, as long as Lin Yan didn't answer Yu Xiaogang respectfully, Tang San would jump out again.

"Lin Yan, I'm warning you, be more polite when you speak to my teacher."

"Don't think that just because you are my benefactor, you can be disrespectful to my teacher."

Lin Yan rolled his eyes in anger and cursed in his heart.

"Like calls to like in a foul place; a pair of stars in a wretched land!"

"I actually thought Tang San's behavior these past few days wasn't that outrageous and was generally within the normal range. Turns out he only unleashes his true personality when he's with Yu Xiaogang."

"These two are truly a master and disciple."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang stood up from the ground and walked over to Lin Yan in a few strides.

"Quick, show me your second Martial Soul! What is the quality of the Soul Ring you attached? And what did you feel after absorbing it? Tell me everything in detail, quickly!"

Lin Yan looked toward Flender.

"Didn't you say he knew how to cultivate Twin Martial Souls? Why does he seem so unreliable right now?"

Flender's expression froze, and he then looked at Yu Xiaogang with a puzzled gaze.

That's right! Didn't this guy claim he had already found the method to cultivate Twin Martial Souls, and even boasted about attaching nine Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings to Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer? Why was he now asking Lin Yan for cultivation experience and sensations?

Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat unnatural under Flender's stare; he cleared his throat and spoke with an air of feigned profundity.

"I naturally know the method for cultivating Twin Martial Souls. It is just that this Grandmaster wishes to see if you have gone down the wrong path. If the quality of the Soul Ring you attached is substandard, wouldn't that be a waste of your Twin Martial Soul aptitude?"

"Oh? And what quality of Soul Ring would be considered qualified?"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang took the opportunity to put on the appearance of an expert enlightening a student.

"You are currently a Soul Elder, so you should be able to withstand the energy of a Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Therefore, if you are determined to cultivate your second Martial Soul, the age of the Soul Ring for your second Martial Soul must be at least a thousand years to be considered barely qualified."

"Otherwise, you are simply wasting your own talent."

"A thousand years?" Lin Yan let out a scoff. "So, you think a Soul Elder can absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring simply because they are a Soul Elder?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Lin Yan with a strange expression. "What nonsense are you spouting? Isn't that common knowledge?"

Lin Yan laughed; he was genuinely amused.

He had not expected that after researching Martial Soul theory for over 40 years, Yu Xiaogang still hadn't grasped the relationship between physical constitution and the age of absorbed Soul Rings.

But then again, considering he had even labeled the limit of Soul Rings a Soul Master could absorb at each stage down to the single digit, it would be a miracle if Grandmaster Yu could understand the logic behind it.

He truly wondered what Yu Xiaogang had been researching for these past 40 years.

Lin Yan curled his lips, his gaze piercing as he looked at Yu Xiaogang.

"Tell me, is there a possibility that the amount of Soul Ring energy a person's meridians can withstand grows? For every level gained, the Soul Master's physical strength increases by a fraction."

"The reason some people cannot withstand the energy when cultivating Twin Martial Souls simultaneously is that the total Soul Ring energy they have absorbed has already exceeded the total capacity their meridians can bear."

"What do you mean?"

Yu Xiaogang looked blank; clearly, he did not grasp the meaning behind Lin Yan's words.

Lin Yan frowned slightly at this, the mockery in his eyes undisguised.

"Tsk."

"I've put it so plainly, and you still don't understand?"

He straightened his posture and continued to explain.

"It is not that a Soul Elder can only absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring upon reaching level 30; it is that during the process of reaching level 30, the Soul Master's physical strength and meridians have grown to the point where they can accommodate such a Soul Ring."

"As for the specifics of these improvements, while everyone is roughly the same, after generations of summary, people have come to believe that only a Soul Elder can absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring."
