The arena in the other world was silent.
But the comments across the sky were anything but quiet.
[Jiamier: Not bad. Tang Si has a point. Dragons do not dwell with snakes. How could the mighty Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul coexist with the worthless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?]
[Zhang Qianxing: Blue Silver Emperor? How come I have never heard of this type of Martial Soul? Does anyone know what kind of Martial Soul the Blue Silver Emperor is?]
[Kara: Among countless Blue Silver Grasses, there will always be one that breaks through the shackles of life and slowly grows into the emperor of all Blue Silver Grass! That must be the Blue Silver Emperor.]
[Li Kuo: The Blue Silver Emperor should hold a position equivalent to the leaders of other Soul Beast groups, such as wolf kings and tiger kings.]
[Li Qiqi: Tang Si makes sense. The Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer are Twin Martial Souls of extremely similar quality. That is far more convincing than a worthless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul coexisting with the Clear Sky Hammer, the greatest tool Martial Soul in the world.]
[Miami: Hiss~ Does that mean Yu Xiaogang really just guessed blindly? His luck is insanely good!]
At the Spirit Hall arena.
Yu Xiaogang's face turned ashen. His ears rang, and he could barely hear anything. His lips muttered, "Martial Soul coexistence, Martial Soul coexistence, Martial Soul coexistence..."
"Te... Teacher..."
At that moment, Tang San was stunned as well. He understood the meaning of the words, "Dragons do not dwell with snakes."
Then, as the comments overwhelmingly began to favor one side, Tang San felt a faint hesitation. He began to doubt whether Yu Xiaogang had truly seen through the fact that he possessed Twin Martial Souls, or whether he had merely guessed blindly.
"Gulp~~"
Yu Xiaogang's throat bobbed. He saw Liu Erlong, Flender, and Zhao Wuji staring at him in confusion, while Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and everyone else in the distance had their eyes on him as well.
Even Bibi Dong, seated in the place of honor at the arena, looked toward him.
Bibi Dong frowned slightly. No one knew better than her whether Tang San's Martial Soul was the Blue Silver Emperor. Especially after Tang Si's words had awakened her to the truth, she became even more certain that it was the Blue Silver Emperor!
Back then, Spirit Hall had hunted the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin precisely to obtain a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring for her.
Could she possibly not know whether that woman was the Blue Silver Emperor?
Cold sweat streamed down Yu Xiaogang's forehead. His heart raced, and he even lost the ability to think.
"Xiaogang."
Liu Erlong walked over and tightly gripped Yu Xiaogang's hand. "Xiaogang, I believe in you."
"Gulp~ Erlong, gulp~~ Thank you."
Liu Erlong pulled Yu Xiaogang back to reality. His ability to think gradually returned, and he cursed furiously in his heart: Damn Tang Si! Even if it takes my entire life, I, Yu Xiaogang, will kill you!
"Teacher."
Tang San called out again.
Yu Xiaogang came back to his senses. Looking at Tang San's questioning gaze, his heart sank as he began thinking about how to argue his way out of this.
What do I do? What do I do?
What matters most right now is regaining Tang San's trust, along with everyone else's!
Should I completely deny what that beast Tang Si said, or argue that I already knew the prerequisite for Twin Martial Souls to coexist... Must I admit that Tang Si was right?
Yu Xiaogang wavered indecisively.
But then he suddenly thought of something. Tang Si possessed the ability to foresee the future. What if Tang Si had some other way to prove that his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was truly the Blue Silver Emperor?
Tang Si's Martial Soul is very likely the Blue Silver Emperor! Then... Tang San's Martial Soul is also very likely the Blue Silver Emperor!
If I deny it now, and Tang Si produces more evidence... No! Denying the Blue Silver Emperor now is absolutely not a wise choice!
After his thoughts raced through his mind, Yu Xiaogang had already made his decision.
"Whew~"
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, organized his words, and solemnly said, "Tang San, Tang Si is right. Your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is actually the Blue Silver Emperor!"
"Huh? Teacher, what are you talking about?"
Yu Xiaogang suddenly adopted an earnest expression. "Tang San, will you blame me for never telling you the truth about your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul? You should know that I knew from the very beginning that your Martial Soul was the Blue Silver Emperor! But I kept telling you it was the worthless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul because it was for your own good."
"For my own good?"
"Yes."
Yu Xiaogang nodded and sighed. "Tang San, your Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul is already incredibly powerful! If you also learned that the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was even stronger than the Clear Sky Hammer, would you perhaps become arrogant and complacent?"
"I..." Tang San opened his mouth to speak.
Yu Xiaogang raised a hand to stop him and continued, "Besides, if the outside world learned about your Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, many forces would surely take notice of you. Being watched by too many people is not a good thing. I'm sure you understand the reasoning."
Stifling geniuses!
Tang San immediately thought of those four words.
"Tang San, can you understand my painstaking intentions?"
Tang San had countless words to say, but when he saw Yu Xiaogang's kindly face, a face he regarded as a father's, intense emotion immediately rose in his heart.
So my teacher had been thinking of me from the very beginning. For my cultivation and safety, he had actually guarded a secret alone for a full eight years!
Is there anyone else in this world as great as my teacher? Absolutely no one!
With that thought, Tang San solemnly bowed and said, "Teacher, thank you for nurturing me all these years. Thank you as well for considering things so deeply for me from the very beginning. That is why I was able to grow up safely until now."
Beside him, Liu Erlong came to a sudden realization. "So that's how it is. Xiaogang, I never expected you to have considered so much from the very beginning. No one can compare to your knowledge and wisdom!"
The corners of Flender's mouth lifted into a faint smile as he explained for Yu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang treats Tang San as his own son. Naturally, it is only normal for him to put more thought into Tang San's future."
After saying that, Flender posted a comment across the sky.
[Flender: Xiaogang knew from the very beginning that Tang San's Martial Soul was the Blue Silver Emperor. He did not tell anyone else because he wanted Tang San to grow up safely. Those who understand the reasons will understand.]
[Liu Erlong: Xiaogang's foresight is beyond compare!]
[Tang San: That's right. Teacher had already considered every danger I might face. A teacher for a day, a father for life. I respect my teacher as my father. Stop slandering my teacher.]
[Bibi Dong: I believe in the Grandmaster's knowledge.]
Hu Liena: "???"
Hu Liena was completely numb!
She turned toward Bibi Dong with disbelief written all over her face, her heart filled with shock. Teacher, why are you saying anything on the sky screen at a time like this? The right choice is to distance yourself from Yu Xiaogang immediately!
Among the crowd, Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly and thought, Tang Si has not finished speaking in the broadcast yet. It is clearly too early to express an opinion now!
