????
Tang San was angry. Who was this aimed at? If they had the guts, they should name names instead of hiding behind all this fancy talk.
He suspected the Live Broadcast Room was targeting him.
Why hadn't they respected his copyright when it came to the Tang Sect's secrets? They'd even deliberately spread them. They were absolutely targeting him. This was going too far!
Tang San got angry. Just a little angry.
Perhaps the Live Broadcast Room noticed that Tang San was angry, because it even went out of its way to explain.
[The founder of the Tang Sect's secrets is dead, so they are no longer copyrighted. There is nothing wrong with Dou Di rewarding them.]
Tang San got angry again. They were definitely targeting him. They knew what he was thinking and even went out of their way to explain it. They were clearly slapping him in the face.
They were mocking him for stealing the Tang Sect's secrets, saying he hadn't created them himself. But in the end, he only got a little angry again.
Up in the spectator stands,
the Soul Saint Brothers started mocking him again:
"Grandmaster, did the light blind your eyes? Don't tell me you're trying to steal the Guidance Technique."
But they'd been dazzled too, and they really did want to steal the Guidance Technique. They'd just gotten different treatment.
Their eyes had only been dazzled, while Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had their eyes hurt by the glare. Their fate was much worse.
It was obvious that the Sky Screen was deliberately targeting them.
"You..."
Yu Xiaogang was furious.
He'd been bullied before he had a protagonist like Tang San as his disciple, and even after taking Tang San in, he was still being bullied. Wouldn't that mean he'd taken Tang San on as a disciple for nothing?
Damn it!
"You..."
Liu Erlong was even angrier. They were picking on her Brother Yu Xiaogang. She was so furious that she wanted to hit someone.
But Flender, standing beside her, held her back with all his might.
"This is a competition venue. We absolutely can't start a fight. The Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop and the Heaven Dou Empire's representative are right here. It'd be humiliating if we fought."
Yu Xiaogang also reached out to stop Liu Erlong.
He absolutely couldn't let her start a fight.
In the sky, the Live Broadcast Room continued.
[With the Guidance Technique, Ye Tianyun's vitality kept growing stronger, and his cultivation talent improved with every passing day.]
[With the help of the Guidance Technique, Ye Tianyun successfully broke through from Soul Power Level 0.1 to level 10 within three years, completing a transformation across a major realm.]
Tang San looked down on him even more and spoke rudely:
"It's only ten levels in three years. I'm about the same. I'm much more talented than he is."
Even as he said that, a shadow fell across Tang San's heart. He'd only advanced twelve levels, while Ye Tianyun had advanced ten.
That meant Ye Tianyun still couldn't compare to him, but his cultivation speed was truly astonishing—and even more alarming.
If Ye Tianyun had known what he was thinking, he would definitely have mocked him. Tang San thought he could say Ye Tianyun couldn't compare to him? What kind of person did he think he was?
Perhaps the Live Broadcast Room knew what Tang San was thinking, because it spoke up again.
[Perhaps many of you think this cultivation speed isn't all that fast.]
???
The whole world, including those with Innate Full Soul Power, felt immense pressure.
Take Feng Xiaotian, who had Innate Full Soul Power. Cold sweat ran down his forehead.
He couldn't help making a wry remark:
"This cultivation speed still isn't fast? I didn't advance ten levels in three years, and I have Innate Full Soul Power."
The other people from Godwind Academy looked just as strange, every one of them taking a blow.
They desperately wished they could cultivate ten levels in three years.
Please give them the Guidance Technique. They'd accept even an inferior version.
Yu Xiaogang took the hardest hit.
It had taken him his whole life and decades of effort to advance just twenty-some levels. Ye Tianyun had advanced ten levels in three years.
Tang San looked down on Feng Xiaotian. You think you deserve to have Innate Full Soul Power? What kind of person are you, anyway? You're just like me.
But Tang San had advanced twelve levels in three years.
Feng Xiaotian: "..."
He felt looked down on. What was with Tang San's expression? How dare he sneer at him?
This was too much. He was furious, but when he thought of Tang San's future status as the protagonist, Feng Xiaotian decided he could only swallow his anger.
But the Live Broadcast Room wasn't afraid of Tang San. It started going after him in front of everyone.
[Take Tang San, for example. When Ye Tianyun broke through to level 10, Tang San had already reached level 22, advancing twelve levels in three years.]
[But that was only what it looked like on the surface. Before Tang San awakened his Martial Soul, his Soul Power had already reached its limit. After absorbing a Spirit Ring, he shot up thirteen levels at once, almost fourteen.]
[By the time Ye Tianyun reached level 10, he had already spent half a year creating the Guidance Technique. In other words, he advanced ten levels in just two and a half years.]
[Tang San, meanwhile, used two and a half years to advance nine levels—and even then, he hadn't quite reached nine. How could he possibly compare with Ye Tianyun? A mediocre talent is still a mediocre talent.]
Of course, if Tang San hadn't repeatedly provoked the Live Broadcast Room, why would it have openly gone after him like this?
Tang San was even angrier.
What did that mean? That he was worse than Ye Tianyun? He was a genius, at least. How could the Live Broadcast Room say something like that?
Feng Xiaotian was feeling much better.
This was it? And Tang San thought he could mock him? Tang San really was a little nobody.
On the competition grounds, countless people silently watched Tang San, feeling absolutely delighted. They'd never liked him. He'd cheated—and stolen the cheat, at that. Did he really need to be so smug?
"I'm pretty happy. I've got the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. I'll tell everyone about it later. You can learn it for just one gold coin."
"One gold coin? I'll only charge nine silver coins. You don't need a whole gold coin."
"Come on, brother, that's too much. We can already get the price down when a hundred billion people own it. If you drive it down any further, how are the rest of us supposed to make a living?"
Tang San: "..."
That was his Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. It was his! Yet Ye Tianyun had rewarded it to other people—and a hundred billion of them, all at once.
A hundred-billion-person subsidy to compete with Dou Di. This was too much!
He didn't know that Ye Tianyun was already considering another hundred-billion-person giveaway. After all, only a hundred billion people had it so far.
There were more than a hundred billion Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent alone, let alone across the Douluo dimensions, with their multiple Great God Circles and countless subordinate small worlds.
The Wine God World, for example.
The Live Broadcast Room continued showing Ye Tianyun.
"Did you hear? Tang San has already reached level 20. He really is a genius."
"What level 20? He's already level 22. You could say he's the top student at our Notting Junior Academy."
"He's already level 20? I've only just broken through to level 10. Looks like the Guidance Technique isn't good enough yet. I'll have to keep improving it."
Ye Tianyun in the image muttered to himself, making his dissatisfaction with the Guidance Technique abundantly clear.
Ten levels in three years wasn't enough. He needed to get even faster.
[Ye Tianyun already felt that ten levels in three years wasn't good enough and was seriously slowing down his cultivation. He felt that the Guidance Technique wasn't good enough, so he decided to create an even stronger one.]
[And so, research on Guidance Method 2.0 had begun.]
The Live Broadcast Room offered an introduction to Ye Tianyun.
