Yu Xiaogang's Defense Broken

Although many students initially felt that Lin Hui's words made sense, once he proposed the creation of a seventh category of Spirit Master, those who had previously agreed began to hesitate.

"Power Attack, Agility Attack, Control, Defense, Support, and Food—these are the categories that have existed in the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years. What could a seventh category possibly be?" Students in the seats below had already begun to scratch their heads.

Even Xiao Wu, who had lived for a hundred thousand years, was left feeling bewildered.

"I agree with him that the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit Martial Soul can follow the Agility Attack path, but I have never heard of any seventh category of Spirit Master!"

Seeing the skepticism on everyone's faces, Lin Hui understood that the seventh category he had just mentioned was difficult for ordinary people to accept.

After all, this was something that had never existed in this world before.

Perhaps, it was something only his Ultra Ball Martial Soul could achieve.

He had been using the ordinary Iron Ball Martial Soul to explain his insights, so it was no wonder they found it unreasonable when he suddenly jumped to a different category.

Just then, Tang San, seizing the moment when everyone was questioning him, immediately stood up and said righteously.

"Lin Hui, the teacher kindly helped you by offering targeted advice. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also mocked him. Please apologize to my teacher immediately! Otherwise—"

Watching the somewhat agitated Tang San, Yu Xiaogang wore an expression that suggested he was a student worth teaching.

At the very least, having taken on a twin-Martial Soul disciple with innate full spirit power, he could still rely on this student to get ahead and regain his reputation in this lifetime. As for Lin Hui—

Seeing the trace of malice in Tang San's expression, Lin Hui had already guessed what he was going to say.

Otherwise what? Do I have a "way of death" that invites disaster?

"I was simply exchanging opinions with the Grandmaster regarding Martial Souls. If you believe your teacher is correct, then you should just listen to him in the future. Does it mean that in class, students can only mindlessly agree with their teacher?" Lin Hui said to Tang San.

Lin Hui felt there was no need to say anything more to Tang San, but the thought of the useless spirit skills Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would have in the future made him feel a bit excited in advance.

Fine, fine, just keep listening to your teacher and wait to be led into a pit.

In Lin Hui's view, the Blue Silver Grass didn't have to be limited to the Control path; the Life Healing path or the Sword Grass Power Attack path were both excellent directions for development.

Especially since Tang San's greatest advantage at his current low level wasn't his Martial Soul, but his specialty: Tang Sect hidden weapons.

According to the terrifying hidden weapon techniques Tang San would later use to hit the Spirit Saint Zhao Wuji, his accuracy was already quite formidable.

So, was there really a need to use the Blue Silver Grass to control an opponent just to hit a stationary target?

He could hit a moving target just fine.

The most effective example was that once his level increased, the Blue Silver Grass spirit skills the Grandmaster had chosen for him would become completely useless.

In Lin Hui's opinion, if Tang San's Blue Silver Grass followed the Sword Grass Power Attack path and was combined with his hidden weapon techniques, the development prospects would be far better than mindless control.

After Lin Hui finished speaking, the students below began to ponder.

"To be honest, aside from that bit about a seventh Martial Soul category being a stretch, everything else he said makes a lot of sense."

"Exactly. Does every Martial Soul really only have one fixed path of development? Shouldn't we also consider the Spirit Master's own characteristics?"

Seeing the whispers below growing louder and the students' discussions becoming more heated, Yu Xiaogang's brows knit together. His face was extremely distorted, and his short frame stiffened as if he were suppressing the rage in his heart.

Because he, the authority in the field of Martial Soul theory, had been refuted to the point of worthlessness.

For someone who could not prove himself through the strength of his spirit power, this was a great humiliation.

Yu Xiaogang found he could no longer argue and was struck dumb, but he could not endure the anger in his heart; the struggle between his outward calm and inner fury caused his expression to twist.

In his rage, Yu Xiaogang unconsciously exerted force, snapping the teaching pointer in his hand with a sharp crack.

The sound of the pointer breaking interrupted the students' discussion, and they suddenly fell silent—mostly because they were frightened by the terrifying, sore-loser expression on Yu Xiaogang's face.

"Lin Hui, I had originally considered taking you as a disciple, but since you are so stubborn, let's forget it." Yu Xiaogang said this deliberately, making it seem as if he were the one refusing to take Lin Hui as a student.

"Oh, I remember refusing that a long time ago. Grandmaster doesn't need to repeat it," Lin Hui said.

"You—" Yu Xiaogang roared in anger, snapping the already broken pointer once more. "Since you are so unappreciative, then let's just wait and see."

"This teacher is too scary, isn't he? Does he get so irritable just because students don't listen to him? He's so petty!" Xiao Wu glanced at Yu Xiaogang on the podium and muttered to herself with her head down.

She knew this was Tang San's teacher, and she was only restraining herself for Tang San's sake. Of course, she also wanted to leave a relatively good impression on Tang San.

Sitting beside Xiao Wu, Tang San's expression revealed a trace of surprise, and even a bit of panic.

After all, Tang San's understanding of Martial Souls was far inferior to Lin Hui's, and he hadn't expected that even his own words would fail to gain the approval of the others.

After a moment of contemplation, Tang San muttered to himself.

"I still believe in my teacher. After all, a teacher for a day is a father for life. The teacher is called 'Grandmaster,' and the fact that he is ostracized is precisely because his insights are too advanced for others to recognize."

"Perhaps excellent people are always hard to fit in with. It's just a pity; by the time the truth is revealed, I think classmate Lin Hui will have taken many wrong turns, and he might not even have a chance to correct them."

Thinking of Tang San's future encounters, Lin Hui only smiled after hearing this and said to him.

"I'll return those words to you as well. Good luck."

Yu Xiaogang could no longer stay in the classroom. Having suppressed his overflowing rage for so long, he closed his lecture notes and walked off the podium.

After taking only a few steps, he thought about how he had finally pulled strings to get into this academy, only to be questioned by a child after just a few classes. Where was he supposed to put his face?

This matter could not end like this!

Thus, as he left, he dropped a final, harsh threat.

"Since you are determined to go astray, then your teacher can no longer save you!"

"Although my teacher's theories sound somewhat profound, they are, after all, the experience of someone who has walked this path before. I believe it won't be long before the reality of the situation proves that what I said today is correct."

"Do you really think you can be any different from the others?"

After salvaging a bit of his dignity with these words, Yu Xiaogang stormed out of the classroom in a huff.

Tang San sensed that something was off with Yu Xiaogang's mood and immediately walked out of the classroom to follow him.

"Teacher, please don't mind what he said; I will always believe in you." Tang San jogged to catch up with Yu Xiaogang and spoke with utmost sincerity.

Seeing that Tang San had followed him, Yu Xiaogang understood the child's intentions and felt a great sense of relief in his heart.

"As expected, a teacher for a day is a father for life; you aren't just saying that," Yu Xiaogang's anger dissipated slightly. "You have innate full soul power of level ten. Only after obtaining your first soul ring will your soul power level be able to continue rising. I will take you to hunt for it in the next few days."

"Thank you, Teacher!" Tang San smiled happily. "With your help, I will surely be able to surpass my peers very quickly, including Lin Hui, who spoke so rudely to you."

Seeing Tang San's sincere, smiling face, the feeling of being worshipped instantly stirred a warmth in Yu Xiaogang's heart.

Of course, because of what had just happened, a seed of hatred had already been buried deep within Yu Xiaogang's heart.

"What you need to do is not just surpass him, but defeat him fairly and squarely. Let all the teachers and students in the school understand that neither your teacher nor you are wrong—it is he who is wrong."

"Understood, Teacher!" Encouraged, Tang San felt even more motivated.

"Lin Hui's Iron Ball Martial Soul is a complete trash martial soul. Even with innate full soul power, without my guidance, his future achievements will be far inferior to yours. It is just a pity that I truly have no way to make him see reason... it is a real shame." Yu Xiaogang even felt a sense of regret.

After the class ended, Lin Hui also walked out of the teaching building and began sweeping and cleaning the playground.

He was just an ordinary work-study student, and before getting certified by the Spirit Hall, he still very much needed this bit of compensation.

While sweeping, Lin Hui also made a simple plan for his future.

"My Ultra Ball Martial Soul should, in theory, be able to capture soul beasts in this world. Furthermore, based on the characteristics of the Ultra Ball, the higher the age of the soul beast, the easier it should be to capture."

"If I truly become a Summoning Type soul master, then I will mainly fight by summoning soul beasts."

"For someone like me who is currently only at level ten, the first soul beast I capture is still very important..."

"Of course, the stronger it is, the better..."
