Yu Xiaogang, Asking for Humiliation

"Young Master truly is extraordinarily gifted. A Body Spirit is also one of the martial souls best suited to learning Soul Tools."

Kong Deming was clearly extremely satisfied with the martial soul Ye Ling had awakened.

One had to know that the greatest difference between a Body Spirit and an ordinary martial soul was the difference in their potential.

The human body was a vast treasure trove, theoretically possessing infinite possibilities for development.

Moreover, because a Body Spirit was part of the body, it made soul masters with Body Spirits more capable of exercising fine control over their own martial souls.

And this kind of fine control was precisely what was indispensable in the production and development of Soul Tools.

"Mm. In any case, let's go obtain a soul ring first."

Ye Ling nodded. There were too many eyes here right now, so it was not a suitable place to keep discussing such matters.

Kong Deming understood at once and immediately led Ye Ling out of Spirit Hall.

The people of Nuoding City's Martial Soul Branch Hall had witnessed Kong Deming's power, so naturally they did not dare block the two of them.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, the onlookers all spontaneously made way for them.

"Wa... wait a moment."

The two had just left Spirit Hall and had not even had time to speak when a somewhat anxious voice rang out behind them.

Ye Ling frowned slightly and turned back to look.

He saw that the one who had called out to him was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. His expression was rather stiff and old-fashioned, and with his ugly buzz cut added in, his whole person carried an indescribably rigid and gloomy air.

There was even a hint of long-frustrated cynicism about him.

"Is something the matter?"

Ye Ling was still thinking about his First Soul Ring, so his tone was not especially polite.

"You... you have Twin Martial Souls, don't you?"

The newcomer looked Ye Ling up and down. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly spoke.

Ye Ling and Kong Deming were almost stunned at the same time.

What the hell was this guy talking about!

Although Ye Ling did indeed think that he might not be unable to obtain a Second Martial Soul through the system in the future, right now, he really did not have Twin Martial Souls.

"And you are?"

Ye Ling suddenly had a realization and asked tentatively.

"My name is Yu Xiaogang. Most people in the Soul Master World call me Grandmaster."

"Across the entire continent, I can be considered an authority on martial soul research."

The middle-aged man puffed out his chest and introduced himself with no small amount of pride.

Now Ye Ling understood completely.

In all of Nuoding City, only someone like Yu Xiaogang would inexplicably stop him and ask such an inexplicable question.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang felt that he was extremely fortunate.

Originally, he had only come today as a matter of routine, using the Spirit Hall Elder token to head to Nuoding City's Martial Soul Branch Hall and freeload the latest martial soul research theory from Spirit Hall.

He had not expected to run into someone awakening a martial soul that produced a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.

As long as he could take such a person as his disciple, then he would be able to prove the Martial Soul Theory he had proposed!

"Why do you think I have Twin Martial Souls?"

Ye Ling naturally knew what kind of person Yu Xiaogang was, but he still asked with great interest.

"According to my Ten Core Competition Theories of Martial Souls, the level of Innate Soul Power is related to the quality of the martial soul."

"A body martial soul itself is of extremely poor quality and simply cannot support your Innate Soul Power."

"So you must also possess an extremely powerful martial soul. Only that martial soul could support your Innate Full Soul Power."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were fixed tightly on Ye Ling's expression, and every word from his mouth sounded logical and well-founded.

Ye Ling, however, found it hilarious to the extreme.

Wasn't this damn near the exact same spiel Yu Xiaogang had used to fool Tang San?

It was only because Tang San had just transmigrated and did not yet understand the knowledge of Douluo Continent that Yu Xiaogang managed to trick him so thoroughly.

Seeing that Ye Ling did not speak, Yu Xiaogang naturally grew even more pleased and continued.

"Of course, there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."

"If you are willing to take me as your teacher, then even for your body martial soul, I have a way to select the most suitable soul ring for you."

"With my Martial Soul Theory, I will definitely be able to nurture you into a powerhouse who shocks the continent."

How should one put it? Although Yu Xiaogang's theoretical level was only so-so, his ability to scam people was not low in the slightest.

"This Grandmaster, may I ask what your current status is? And what is your Soul Power Level?"

Ye Ling asked Yu Xiaogang in front of him at ease.

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed slightly. His Soul Power Level was the deepest thorn in his heart.

But in order to take the child before him as his disciple, he could only grit his teeth and say,

"I am currently teaching at Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy. My soul power... my soul power is rank 29."

To Yu Xiaogang's surprise, when Ye Ling heard the number rank 29, his face showed not the slightest trace of disdain. This secretly delighted him.

"So that's how it is."

Ye Ling nodded slightly, then suddenly smiled.

"But you just said there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters. Yet your current Soul Power Level seems rather different from the theory you spoke of."

"May I ask, Grandmaster, is it your martial soul that is useless, or are you yourself useless?"

"And you said yourself that your theoretical knowledge is so amazing. Since you teach at Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, why haven't I seen you nurture any powerhouses?"

"You!"

Yu Xiaogang's expression instantly turned ugly.

How could he not understand? The child before him had been toying with him from the start.

"An old piece of trash at rank 29 dares call himself some Grandmaster? You really don't even want your face anymore."

Ye Ling's barrage continued.

"What bullshit Ten Core Competition Theories of Martial Souls. Most likely, you just summarized and refined the experience of those before you, then called it your own theory, right?"

"And martial soul quality is related to Innate Soul Power? Then in your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, everyone who awakens the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul has innate soul power at rank seven or eight?"

"You... how do you know I'm from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

Yu Xiaogang's face had already turned liver-colored, but he still could not help asking.

"An old piece of trash like you, fooling around with your younger female cousin, has almost become a joke in the entire Soul Master World. Do you think I'm the only one who knows about these things?"

Ye Ling smiled.

He could now be certain that Tang San should not have come to Nuoding City yet, which was why Yu Xiaogang had set his sights on him.

"Bastard!"

With someone talking about him and his **, how could Yu Xiaogang endure it? He immediately lost his reason and lunged toward Ye Ling.

Slap!

A crisp slap rang through the entire street.

At some point, Kong Deming had already blocked the way in front of Ye Ling, while Yu Xiaogang was sent flying dozens of meters by Kong Deming's slap.

"What are you supposed to be? You think you're worthy of being my teacher?"

Ye Ling looked at Yu Xiaogang in the distance, who had smashed a stall to pieces and whose life or death was unknown, and the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of disdain.

"Let's go, Elder Kong."

Ye Ling did not bother with Yu Xiaogang, whose life or death was unknown, and turned to leave.

Kill him? There was no need!

Having this kind of person as Tang San's teacher was simply a perfect arrangement!

"Let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest. It just so happens that we should find another helper too."
