Before Yu Xiaogang could get angry, Liu Erlong got angry first, cursing furiously:
"Damn it, that brat Tang San! I always thought he was decent, but I never expected him to be so arrogant and look down on everyone."
Even he couldn't bring himself to mock Yu Xiaogang, yet this brat Tang San had become Yu Xiaogang's disciple and still dared to insult him.
So young, and already a hypocrite.
Yu Xiaogang was angry inside, but on the surface, he earnestly tried to talk her around:
"Erlong, don't be fooled. I don't think Xiao San is that kind of person. You can't believe everything you hear."
Wasn't he angry?
Of course he was. His own disciple had looked down on him, after all.
But Tang San was the future protagonist, the great God King. He needed Tang San to fulfill his ambitions, so he needed him even more.
Even if Tang San thought he was a good-for-nothing.
Tang San's face was flushed now. The gazes of those around him made him feel especially ashamed.
He couldn't help but defend himself:
"That's slander. I'm absolutely not that kind of person. I've always respected my teachers and treated them well. My teacher is the guide of my life."
He didn't want others to think he was a treacherous ingrate who had betrayed his teacher and had no moral character, even if deep down he really did look down on Yu Xiaogang.
"I believe in Third Brother."
Xiao Wu stepped forward of her own accord, always believing in Tang San deep down.
"That's right, I believe in Xiao San too. I still trust his character."
Dai Mubai, of course, spoke up for him. He would need Tang San's help in the future.
[The Main Timeline's playback has ended. Next, we'll play the Parallel Universe.]
Parallel Universe.
Ye Tianyun tapped his fingers on the table, remembering the scene from when he had first enrolled. Back then, he'd been looked down on.
Especially by the Yu Xiaogang of their universe.
The scene shifted. It was the enrollment scene again.
Ye Tianyun and Tang San had enrolled at the same time.
As usual, the gatekeeper mocked Tang San:
"Innate Full Soul Power? Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass? You're just a good-for-nothing. How could Blue Silver Grass possibly have Innate Full Soul Power?"
He mocked Tang San because he couldn't stand him. Why should Blue Silver Grass have Innate Full Soul Power, while he himself was a good-for-nothing?
"..."
Tang San was furious. This was going too far! Why did every world have a gatekeeper who mocked him as a good-for-nothing?
And now he was being exposed in front of the entire universe.
Soon, Yu Xiaogang made his entrance. Using his title of Grandmaster, he scolded the gatekeeper, then led Tang San and Ye Tianyun inside.
"By the way, where's your Martial Soul certificate?"
Yu Xiaogang turned to ask Ye Tianyun, requesting his certificate.
Ye Tianyun took out his Martial Soul certificate and handed it to Yu Xiaogang. He didn't say a word the entire time. He knew perfectly well Yu Xiaogang wouldn't take him as a disciple, so what was the point of saying more?
Even if he got down on his knees and begged, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't spare him a second glance.
Sure enough, when Yu Xiaogang saw that Ye Tianyun had Innate Soul Power of 0.1, he immediately handed the certificate back.
The narration sounded again.
[At this moment, seeing that Ye Tianyun had Innate Soul Power of 0.1, Yu Xiaogang sneered inwardly. A good-for-nothing like that thought he was fit to come here and study?]
[He had completely forgotten that his own Innate Soul Power was only half a level. Compared to 0.1, they were much of a muchness. A good-for-nothing himself, yet he still had the nerve to mock others as good-for-nothings.]
Yu Xiaogang of the Main Timeline: "..."
Come on, that wasn't him. What did something Yu Xiaogang from the other world did have to do with him?
And could everyone stop calling him a good-for-nothing?
Nearby, the Spirit Master who had argued with Yu Xiaogang earlier started laughing again:
"Heh, so you only had half a level of Innate Soul Power. I thought your Soul Power was so high it would scare me to death."
"Right? With only half a level of Innate Soul Power, what gave you the nerve to mock someone with 0.1? Where'd you get the gall?"
"You..."
Liu Erlong was so angry she wanted to hit someone, but Flender held her back.
"Erlong, don't get angry."
He actually thought Yu Xiaogang was in the wrong too. How could he mock someone like that?
In the scene, after successfully taking Tang San as his disciple, Yu Xiaogang gave him a stern warning:
"Xiao San, stay away from that Ye Tianyun. You have Innate Full Soul Power. You two don't belong in the same world anymore."
He'd thought Tang San and Ye Tianyun knew each other, and was worried Ye Tianyun would drag Tang San down.
"Teacher, we don't know each other."
The Tang San from the Parallel Timeline looked baffled. He truly didn't know Ye Tianyun.
"Oh, good. Then there's no problem. He has Innate Soul Power of 0.1. He's a good-for-nothing Spirit Master."
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he carried himself with an air of superiority.
So there really were Spirit Masters more useless than him in the world.
"Don't worry, Teacher. I know exactly what kind of people should be my friends."
The Tang San from the Parallel Timeline sounded just as superior.
[At this moment, Tang San's eyes were full of contempt for Ye Tianyun. He was nothing but a good-for-nothing, unaware of just how miserable his own future would be.]
[And Yu Xiaogang had completely forgotten that one of the Ten Great Theories of the Spirit World said: "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Spirit Masters."]
[So here's the question: Yu Xiaogang is still Level 29. By his own theory, is he a successful person, or is he a good-for-nothing Spirit Master?]
That boomerang struck Yu Xiaogang right in the heart.
There was no mention of the Yu Xiaogang from the Parallel Timeline, but the Main Timeline's Yu Xiaogang's expression changed.
He suddenly remembered that, yes, he really had said that. Thinking about it now, he had indeed contradicted himself.
But when he'd said it back then, he'd only been trying to comfort himself. Who could have expected anyone to bring it up?
The Spirit Master beside him laughed once more:
"So there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Spirit Masters. I have to agree with that. Someone with Innate Soul Power of 0.1 can even become a Dou Di and defeat a God King."
Another Spirit Master chimed in mockingly:
"Then someone with half a level of Innate Soul Power, higher Soul Power Level than that, and still only Level 29—isn't that a true good-for-nothing?"
Yu Xiaogang was so furious that he stamped his feet, wanting to kill those Soul Saint Brothers. How dare they mock him like that? This was outrageous!
But he couldn't do a thing about it. They weren't wrong, and he couldn't beat them.
[In the Parallel Timeline, both Yu Xiaogang and Tang San looked down on Ye Tianyun, unaware that through his own hard work and outstanding talent, he would cross the limits of the Spirit World step by step and eventually defeat Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.]
[Of course, that was in the Parallel Universe, and it was something that would happen in the future.]
Parallel Timeline.
Asura God couldn't take it anymore. He flew into a rage on the spot:
"Heavenly Emperor, please allow me to lead a million troops, conquer the Main Timeline, and kill Tang San and Yu Xiaogang!"
They dared call his noble Heavenly Emperor a good-for-nothing! Weren't they asking for death?
He swore he wouldn't rest until he had avenged this insult.
God of Destruction: "..."
That was some lightning-fast bootlicking.
But to be fair, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had gone too far. How could they call their noble Heavenly Emperor a good-for-nothing?
"Heavenly Emperor, if you can put up with this, I can't. We have to take them down."
Ye Tianyun only chuckled:
"But they're in a Parallel Timeline. How are we supposed to take them down? Otherwise, I'd want to take them down too."
Right. How were they supposed to reach a Parallel Timeline?
