"You... you're Tianheng! You've grown so much..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang also saw Yu Tianheng, his face showing surprise and nostalgia, as fragments of memories swirled in his mind.

Born into the Yu Clan, and possessing a mutated Martial Soul that only farts, it seems all he can do is amuse children.

So, at that time, the young Yu Tianheng brought great comfort to Yu Xiaogang.

Upon seeing Yu Tianheng again, Yu Xiaogang was overwhelmed with emotion.

Seeing Yu Tianheng and Meng Chen standing so close together made Yu Xiaogang feel somewhat dissatisfied.

"Uncle... what happened to you?"

Yu Tianheng spoke in disbelief, interrupting Yu Xiaogang's excitement and reminiscence.

Uncle?!

This address caused everyone's brains to overheat, because it was too strange. Yu Xiaogang looked weathered and dejected.

Yu Tianheng is a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the young master of the clan, whose status is immeasurable. How could such a person have a down-on-his-luck uncle?

Upon hearing Yu Tianheng's words, Yu Xiaogang felt a pang of shame. However, considering the brilliance of his theoretical achievements, what was there to be ashamed of?

It's just that my father lacked foresight!

If I were in charge of training the next generation of the sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would have caught up with the Clear Sky Sect long ago, surpassed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and gone straight for the Spirit Hall.

How could things have gotten to this point, with such a talent gap?

In the entire sect, only my father was Titled Douluo.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang confidently replied to Yu Tianheng, "It's just a little hardship."

Yu Tianheng was very pleased to see Yu Xiaogang like this.

Although he looked down on his luck, his uncle still retained his former charm and was not ashamed of his lack of success in his youth.

However, Yu Xiaogang's next words left Yu Tianheng stunned.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Tianheng and said reproachfully, "But you, Tianheng, have a big problem!"

I?

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Tianheng asked doubtfully, "Uncle, what serious problem could I possibly have?"

Yu Xiaogang sighed with a heavy heart, "Tianheng, you are the direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Your grandfather sent you to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy hoping that you could grow up in the orthodox Soul Master education system and inherit the sect in the future, carrying on the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon lineage. You know this better than I do."

Yu Tianheng nodded. "I understand."

"How could you..." Yu Xiaogang pointed at Meng Chen, indignantly saying, "To associate with someone like that?"

???

What does "this kind of person" mean?

Yu Tianheng felt that Yu Xiaogang had misunderstood, and explained, "Uncle, Meng Chen is my good friend. We've been sparring together for over half a month, and I've learned a lot from him. Why do you say that?"

"Learned a lot?" Yu Xiaogang sneered. "Tianheng, do you know what he did at the Nuoding Academy?"

"Relying on his superior Martial Soul quality and talent, he openly disregards theoretical systems and refuses to accept any orthodox theoretical education! He looks down on scholars who study the laws of Martial Soul and despises correct theoretical guidance!"

"If you stay with him, you'll be led astray sooner or later. Do you think Soul Master cultivation relies on talent?"

"Without theoretical support and a deep understanding of the core competitiveness of Martial Soul, it's impossible to make any progress beyond the advanced level!"

"If he continues like this, he'll only ever reach the Soul King or Soul Emperor level at most, and by associating with him, he'll ruin your future!"

Yu Xiaogang became increasingly agitated as he spoke, even pounding his chest and stamping his feet, saying, "I absolutely will not allow a young genius like you to be led astray by someone like Meng Chen!"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Tianheng became even more certain that Yu Xiaogang had misunderstood.

He said earnestly, "Uncle, you may have misunderstood something. Meng Chen has never led me astray, nor has he ever tried to lecture me. I have only been learning from and asking him for advice."

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback by Yu Tianheng's direct rebuttal and was momentarily speechless.

In his mind, Yu Tianheng was still the little nephew who used to follow him around asking all sorts of questions, and who would have a natural trust in his theoretical system and research results.

But standing before him now was a young man who had grown up and developed his own judgment.

Blind obedience no longer existed in Yu Tianheng's heart.

You still say you haven't been led astray? You're not even willing to be disciplined by me anymore!

Yu Xiaogang was somewhat indignant and turned to Qin Ming, saying, "You're Tianheng's teacher, right? As a teacher, shouldn't you be responsible for your students' upbringing? How could you accept someone like Meng Chen as a disciple? This is already starting to corrupt Tianheng!"

Qin Ming wasn't familiar with Yu Xiaogang, and he was immediately angered by Yu's sudden accusation.

What the hell? Why would I need you to teach my students?

However, Qin Ming couldn't very well reprimand him, because Yu Xiaogang had naturally stood behind Flender, seemingly knowing Flender and being his student's respected uncle.

Therefore, Qin Ming could only say unhappily, "Mr. Yu, I think you've misunderstood some things."

"First of all, Meng Chen is not my disciple. He is a special recruit of our Heaven Dou Royal Academy. We are just traveling together for training."

"Secondly, as a teacher, I am indeed responsible for the students' growth, but I also have the ability to judge who is suitable to get along with my students and who is not."

Qin Ming's words were both a rebuttal to Yu Xiaogang and a subtle way of telling Flender about his relationship with Meng Chen, implying that he couldn't very well order Meng Chen to apologize.

Moreover, according to Zhu Zhuqing, Qin Ming did not think that Meng Chen was at fault.

But he couldn't openly contradict his former master, so he could only try to absolve himself of any responsibility through subtle hints.

Qin Ming didn't say anything harsh, but it still sounded incredibly grating to Yu Xiaogang.

What do you mean by "you have the ability to judge"? Does it mean I don't?

Yu Xiaogang could only let out a cold snort.

It seems he's another hopeless case who refuses to learn my theories.

Even the Pope of the Spirit Hall highly praised my theories, so why don't these people learn from them?

Yu Xiaogang firmly believes that when one person isolates him, that person has a problem; when a group of people isolate him, that group has a problem.

The fault lies not with me, but with the whole world.

As a teacher, Flender understood Qin Ming's implication.

Since Meng Chen is not Qin Ming's student, he doesn't need to show Qin Ming any respect when disciplining him.

However, Qin Ming was present after all, and as the dean of the Shrek Academy, Flender still had to maintain some of the demeanor of a teacher in front of his former students.

If it's like a shrew yelling in the street, wouldn't the impression it leaves be terrible?

Thinking of this, Flender cleared his throat, put on a dignified and authoritative air, and even subtly exuded the pressure of a level 78 Soul Saint, striking a pose.

"Qin Ming, so this kid isn't your student. In that case, I won't force him to apologize."

"However, my students have indeed suffered a loss, and as the dean, I can't just leave without giving an explanation. How about this..."

Flender held up three fingers, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "If he takes three of my moves and is still standing after those three, then last night's matter is wiped clean."
