Flender's Mysterious Self-Confidence

"He can see through a person's fortune; if he says you're going to have bad luck, then you're doomed."

Tang San's tone was low.

The impending misfortune made him feel an incomparable sense of dread.

He truly could not fathom it.

What kind of bad luck could possibly make Lin Chen react with even more gravity than when he lost his masculine dignity or was forcibly ravished by the round-faced Bearded Man?

"See through fortune?"

Flender and the others were all dumbfounded. What kind of Spirit was that powerful?

"Let's go."

Tang San was in no mood to explain anything to them and headed straight toward the dormitory building.

Flender and the others had no choice but to follow.

The group was soon led by Tang San to Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.

"Flender, you've finally come."

Seeing his old friend after so many years, all the suffering and grievances Yu Xiaogang had endured over the past two years surged into his heart, and his eye sockets instantly turned red.

He looked just like a child who had suffered a great injustice.

Flender was taken aback.

In his eyes, Yu Xiaogang had always been an incredibly strong person.

What could he have possibly experienced to make him reveal such a fragile side?

And in front of several juniors, no less.

Zhao Wuji and the others were also bewildered, especially Dai Mubai and the other two.

On the way here, Flender had boasted endlessly about Yu Xiaogang, calling him the number one theoretical master in the Spirit Master world, a hidden expert like a dragon coiled in the abyss.

And this was the result?

Looking at his image and temperament, he didn't seem to match those titles at all.

Tang San, however, felt he could understand.

He was very clear about everything his teacher had gone through over the past two years.

It was truly not something an ordinary person could withstand.

The fact that his teacher had endured it without seeking death was already a sign of great strength.

"Xiaogang, what is this?"

Flender was full of confusion.

"Hoo!"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, forcing down the emotions in his heart.

He looked at Zhao Wuji and the others.

"And these are?"

Upon hearing this, Flender immediately introduced them to him.

"I brought Mubai and the others here mainly because I hope you can guide their cultivation; after all, you are quite the authority in this area."

Yu Xiaogang nodded indifferently.

He understood his old friend and knew the principles of his Shrek Academy.

The talents of these three would definitely not be too poor.

It just so happened that his theories needed practice; using Dai Mubai and the others as test subjects would be a great way to help Tang San avoid some unknown risks in advance.

"San, why don't you take them for a walk around the academy first?"

Yu Xiaogang said, looking at Tang San.

"Alright!"

Tang San didn't ask any questions and immediately left with Dai Mubai and the other two.

Zhao Wuji did not leave.

After Tang San and the others had gone, Yu Xiaogang invited Flender and the other to sit down.

"Inviting you here this time, besides asking you to protect Tang San and Xiao Wu, there is one more thing I need your help with."

Yu Xiaogang got straight to the point.

Flender laughed, "We are brothers, why talk about trouble?"

"Just say what you need to say."

Yu Xiaogang nodded, very satisfied with his friend's attitude.

"Tang San provoked a Spirit Master of the Spirit Saint rank outside. His specific strength and spirit skills are unknown, only that he possesses the optimal Spirit Ring configuration."

Flender couldn't help but freeze.

In a backwater corner like Nuoding City, there was actually a powerhouse like a Spirit Saint?

But it wasn't a big problem.

Both he and Zhao Wuji were Spirit Saints; two against one, the advantage was theirs.

"Small issue. Where is he?"

Yu Xiaogang, however, shook his head.

"I don't know where he is at the moment, but he will definitely come looking for Tang San again."

Where there is one, there will be two; where there are two, there will be three.

The other party was so fixated on Tang San that he certainly wouldn't just vanish into thin air.

Flender nodded. "Then we'll wait until he comes knocking."

"Right!"

As Flender spoke, he suddenly seemed to recall something.

"What's the deal with that Lin Chen?"

Upon hearing the name 'Lin Chen', Yu Xiaogang's body couldn't help but shudder.

"You encountered him?"

He looked at the two men, his expression inexplicably turning serious.

Flender and Zhao Wuji both frowned slightly.

Tang San was one thing, but why did Yu Xiaogang seem so wary of that kid?

Was that kid really that mysterious?

Flender didn't hide anything and immediately told him the sequence of events.

After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang fell silent.

He had invited Flender over, and the man had even brought Zhao Wuji along.

Why did it feel like their bad luck had only escalated?

Could it be that the strength of that round-faced Bearded Man far exceeded that of a Spirit Saint of the same rank?

That shouldn't be right.

Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment, but couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Afterward, he briefly introduced Lin Chen's situation to the two.

"Is he really that bizarre?"

Zhao Wuji was shocked, yet carried a clear sense of disbelief.

Yu Xiaogang said, "At least he has never been wrong so far."

Flender narrowed his eyes. "Possessing such heaven-defying abilities, his martial spirit quality and innate spirit power level shouldn't be low, right?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded.

"He and Tang San come from the same village. His martial spirit is called Sky Thunder Whip, but I don't know the specifics; I only know he also has full innate spirit power."

"What?"

Hearing about yet another case of full innate spirit power, Flender and Zhao Wuji cried out in shock.

That was full innate spirit power.

How many had there been in the entire history of Spirit Masters?

In this tiny Nuoding Academy, three had popped up all at once.

How could they not be shocked?

Since when did geniuses with full innate spirit power become so worthless?

Yu Xiaogang remained silent.

Flender probed, "You have no reason to let such a genius go, right?"

He knew his old friend too well.

However, the relationship between Lin Chen and Tang San didn't seem very good.

This meant that Xiaogang hadn't managed to take him in.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "That kid is arrogant and proud. With my meager strength, he doesn't look up to me at all. You two might want to go and try."

There was nothing worth hiding about failing to take on an apprentice.

If Lin Chen didn't look up to him, that was his loss.

One day, he would let Lin Chen know what a foolish decision it was to reject him.

So what if he has innate full spirit power?

Without my personal guidance, at best, he would only be a mediocre Title Douluo.

He might not even reach the Title Douluo level at all.

A genius?

A genius who hasn't grown up is worth nothing.

Spirit Master cultivation is not that simple.

Suppression by major factions, hunting for Spirit Rings, fallen Spirit Masters, and so on.

These are the biggest stumbling blocks on the path of a genius Spirit Master's growth.

Without a sufficiently powerful background to provide protection, no matter how heaven-defying a genius is, they will only face a dead end when confronted with these crises.

"Arrogant and conceited?"

"He's just a commoner; how arrogant can he really be?"

"Rest assured."

"No matter how arrogant he is, I can make him completely submissive."

Flender smiled confidently.

He had seen plenty of arrogant geniuses, and hadn't they all ended up yielding to him in the end?

He was just a commoner; he could handle him with a flick of his wrist.

If he couldn't handle Lin Chen, he would write his name, Flender, backward.
