Yu Xiaogang: My Theories Are Trash?!

Yu Xiaogang and Dai Mubai froze where they stood.

This was not the reaction they had expected.

The script was not supposed to go like this!

Upon hearing his name, shouldn't they have immediately become awestruck, hurried back to report to the Dean, and then had the Dean personally rush out to greet him?

The two looked at each other, seeing the same astonishment in the other's eyes.

This treatment was worse than what they would have received as complete strangers.

Yu Xiaogang frowned, and anger instantly rose within him.

"Stop."

Ye Lingling halted and turned around.

"Is there something else?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened as he put on the bearing of a superior.

"I want to see your Dean."

"I came with the utmost sincerity. A mere receptionist is hardly qualified to discuss Shrek joining with me."

Ye Lingling gently shook her head.

"The Dean is busy and has no time to see you."

"If you only wish to visit, then follow me."

"If you don't want to visit, the gate is over there. Take your leave; I won't see you out."

Having been rejected so bluntly, Yu Xiaogang immediately felt a surge of intense displeasure.

He was the Grandmaster, invincible in theory!

Across the entire continent, what advanced academy would not show him some respect?

Yet the Dean of this academy, whose martial soul was nothing but the useless Blue Silver Grass, dared to slight him so?

It had to be because this little girl before him had never seen the world.

She simply did not understand how weighty the title "Grandmaster" was in the soul master world.

Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang sneered inwardly.

He decided to reveal a little of his own knowledge and properly put her in her place.

His gaze swept across the magnificent buildings around them.

"Little girl."

"Have you ever heard of the extremely famous Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul theory on the Douluo Continent?"

Ye Lingling glanced sideways but said nothing.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang became even more convinced that she was an ignorant country bumpkin.

"That theory was created by me."

"For example, one of its most classic principles."

"The maximum age a soul master's first soul ring can endure must never exceed four hundred and thirty-two years!"

"Even the slightest excess will cause the soul master's body to explode and die."

Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back, his tone full of arrogance.

"For your Blue Silver Academy to have reached this scale, you do have some foundation."

"But if you wish to truly rise and become a top academy on the continent."

"That will be absolutely impossible without a theoretical authority like me overseeing it."

Yu Xiaogang shot Ye Lingling a sidelong glance.

"If you truly want your academy to grow stronger."

"You should immediately run over and have your Dean personally come beg for Shrek Academy to join."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Several Blue Silver Academy students passing by stopped in their tracks.

Everyone's gazes converged on them.

"Shrek Academy? Have you heard of it?"

"What kind of worthless little sect is that? Even the name sounds small-time."

"What did that man just say? The limit for the first soul ring is four hundred and thirty-two years?"

"My god, he actually recited elementary school counterexample material as if it were truth!"

"Which backwater did this fake Grandmaster crawl out of? He came to Blue Silver Academy to swindle people?"

These murmurs naturally reached Yu Xiaogang's ears.

But he had clearly misunderstood them.

Looking at the way everyone pointed and stared, Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of pride.

Just as expected.

The moment he revealed the Grandmaster's name, he had directly intimidated these students.

Even the cold, aloof girl in charge of receiving them had been stunned in place.

Ye Lingling really had been stunned for a moment.

She looked at Yu Xiaogang with an extremely strange expression.

As though she were looking at an incomprehensible idiot.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes crinkled with delight.

He eagerly waited for her to lower her head and admit her mistake, then respectfully go invite the Dean.

"Grandmaster."

"Our Blue Silver Academy does indeed teach basic theoretical knowledge."

Ye Lingling's voice was clear and pleasant.

"But the theory you just mentioned is fundamentally and utterly wrong."

The smugness on Yu Xiaogang's face suddenly froze.

"What did you say?"

"Wrong?"

He looked as though he had heard the greatest joke in the world.

"You ignorant child, what do you know about martial soul theory!"

"Since you claim I am wrong, I shall be generous and give you a chance."

"Go ahead and tell me where I am wrong!"

Ye Lingling sighed.

She had no desire to argue with someone so ignorant, but since he insisted on humiliating himself.

"Our Blue Silver Academy's elementary theory textbooks clearly state."

"The absorption age of a soul ring has never been a fixed, rigid number."

"It is closely related to a soul master's physical constitution, meridian strength, and spiritual power."

"If a soul master's physique has undergone special tempering and their spiritual power is sufficiently strong, they can completely endure absorbing a thousand-year soul ring as their first soul ring."

"Your so-called limit of four hundred and thirty-two years is merely the passing line that weak soul masters, who have undergone no physical training whatsoever, can reach."

"Treating a passing line as an insurmountable limit for the entire continent."

"Isn't that laughable?"

A string of professional terms spilled from Ye Lingling's lips.

Without the slightest pause.

They struck Yu Xiaogang squarely in the face.

Yu Xiaogang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

His eyes instantly widened.

These... these theories...

He instinctively wanted to argue.

Yet after running through it in his mind, he discovered that everything she had said was correct!

Moreover, her information regarding the proportions of physical strength and spiritual power was astonishingly precise.

Several theoretical bottlenecks that had plagued him for years suddenly gave him a sense of clarity after hearing Ye Lingling's words.

So that was it!

So absorbing soul rings also required taking spiritual power and meridian strength into account!

Cold sweat slid down Yu Xiaogang's forehead.

He knew very well that the Ten Core Competencies he was so proud of were riddled with flaws before her.

But how could this be possible?

How could a mere receptionist understand such profound theory?

Just then.

The students watching nearby began whispering among themselves again.

"Wasn't what that man just recited from Notes on the Ten Common Erroneous Theories?"

"Yeah, the very first section of the first chapter specifically warns us not to be fooled by those so-called folk experts."

"I remember the teacher saying that the person who came up with those erroneous theories was simply a useless fool who could only talk on paper."

"He actually treated the notes as his own theory. I'm dying of laughter."

Notes?

Erroneous theories?

Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded.

He stood there stiffly, his face alternating between green and white.

Those notes that had become jokes and negative teaching material were the painstaking work he had compiled with great effort!

So in Blue Silver Academy's eyes.

His Ten Core Competencies were garbage used specifically to warn students away from pitfalls!
