The Three Problems I Noticed the Moment I Walked In

Su Ge glanced at the smiling Flender but did not immediately expose his words.

"Since the Dean is so certain, then I'd like to see exactly who it is that you hold in such high regard."

He then followed Flender into the two-story building and all the way to the office on the second floor.

Xiao Wu and the others, who had been following behind, also came along. They were curious as well—just who had made Dean Flender so certain?

After Flender pushed open the door, Su Ge immediately saw that there were two other people in the office.

One was an old acquaintance, Zhao Wuji. The other was also an old acquaintance: Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang!

Su Ge was not surprised by this outcome. After entering the office, Flender followed him in and casually shut the door.

Yu Xiaogang had been chatting with Zhao Wuji inside, discussing knowledge about soul beasts and soul masters. Hearing the movement, he saw Flender enter with Su Ge.

A flash of delight passed through his eyes, and even a faint smile appeared on his stiff face.

Flender quickly walked to Yu Xiaogang's side and looked at Su Ge with a smile. "Su Ge, this is my old friend Yu Xiaogang. He is also Tang San's teacher, so I'm sure you're no stranger to him. People in the soul master world call him the Grandmaster."

"Not a stranger. Of course I'm not a stranger."

Su Ge's words immediately delighted Yu Xiaogang, and the smile on his face deepened.

"But the moment I walked in, I noticed three problems."

He raised three fingers, his voice carrying a hint of pressure that made the three people in the office and the few listening outside tense up.

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San in particular. The former had thought taking Su Ge as a disciple was within reach today, while the latter had thought Su Ge was about to become his fellow disciple. Yet one sentence from him had raised the tension again!

He raised his first finger. "First, Dean Flender said he wanted me to take a teacher. So, who exactly are you planning to have me acknowledge as my teacher?"

Su Ge's golden eyes turned toward Flender, carrying an indescribable majesty.

"You, Dean? Zhao Wuji? Or Yu Xiaogang, the Grandmaster who broke through level thirty before reaching fifty?"

Silence. The scene instantly fell into deathly silence, everyone thoroughly stunned by Su Ge's words.

What a vicious attack!

Even Ning Rongrong, who considered her own tongue the sharpest, had to admit that Su Ge's words were even more hurtful than hers!

Then he raised his second finger. "Second, I'd like to ask everyone here: who among you is qualified to be my teacher?"

"What can you offer me? Can you beat me?"

Su Ge did not hesitate in the slightest. Since he had already torn off all pretense, he might as well pursue them to the end!

Only then did Yu Xiaogang react. Anger flashed through his eyes, as though the scar in his heart had been torn open again.

"A teacher must have their own strengths. Judging solely by strength is a one-sided view!"

Su Ge laughed upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words. This was the first time he had seen someone so eager to offer up their face to be stepped on.

"Fine. Since the Grandmaster says so, let's discuss it. Tell me, then—what widely circulated claims or original theoretical knowledge do you have?"

Tang San, who had originally been about to rush in, forcibly suppressed his anger after hearing Su Ge's words, intending to listen as his teacher properly refuted him.

Yu Xiaogang took several deep breaths. Once Su Ge mentioned the field he was best at, some of his confident bearing returned.

"In terms of theory, naturally I do. This is my work."

He took out a book from beside him and pointed to the Ten Core Competitiveness Principles written on it. The author's name was Yu Xiaogang.

"I've read it. Then I'd like to ask Grandmoist—were all these conclusions discovered by you?"

Su Ge's gaze toward Yu Xiaogang was icy as he watched the man gradually fall silent.

"If I remember correctly, Grandmoist also once said, 'There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless soul masters,' right?"

As he said this, a mocking smile appeared on Su Ge's face.

"I truly can't figure out how Grandmoist managed to insult himself twice in a single sentence."

"Su Ge, don't go too far!"

Flender could no longer bear to watch. He shouted in a low voice as seven soul rings appeared around him, and the pressure of a level seventy-eight Soul Sage erupted, instantly sweeping through the entire office!

"Too far? This is too far?"

Facing Flender's soul master pressure, Su Ge's expression did not change. The light in his golden eyes gradually intensified.

Two purple and two black soul rings slowly emerged around him. Before Flender's disbelieving gaze, he forcibly pushed back Flender's Soul Power pressure!

Yu Xiaogang's eyes filled with deep shock. Even though Flender had told him about it, he still could not help but be shocked upon seeing it for himself.

"And what about your soul ring limit theory? Can you explain my soul rings now?"

"Does our Grandmoist know that absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring causes spiritual shock?"

"Spiritual shock!"

Yu Xiaogang abruptly raised his head. His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Su Ge, as if he had suffered an enormous blow.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's reaction, Flender finally fell somewhat silent, because that meant Su Ge was right again...

"Heh..."

Su Ge chuckled softly, his laugh full of mockery.

Finally, he raised his third finger. "Third, I dared to come, and you really dared to ask me to become your disciple?"

"A school that claims to accept only monsters can neither teach according to a student's aptitude nor provide me with practical help, yet you think you can just flap your lips and shamelessly ask me to take a teacher?"

"I really don't understand where you got the nerve."

As he spoke, Su Ge also released Martial Soul Possession and looked at the utterly silent Flender.

"I came with you not for some so-called apprenticeship. I came here to... withdraw from the academy!"

"Withdraw from the academy!"

Zhao Wuji, who had been acting like he was invisible the whole time, could finally no longer sit still after hearing Su Ge's words. He stood up in disbelief.

"That's enough, Teacher Zhao. Since you were willing to risk your life for your students back then, I, Su Ge, acknowledge you."

He raised a hand, cutting Zhao Wuji off.

"But my withdrawal is a notification, not a discussion!"

"I gave you a chance, but I did not see the qualities of teachers in any of you. You are not suited to be teachers."

"Gold will shine wherever it is. A student's excellence does not come from your teaching."

Just as his voice fell, the office door was pushed open. Tang San rushed in and stood before Yu Xiaogang, looking at Su Ge with anger in his eyes.

"Su Ge, you've gone too far!"

Seeing Tang San rush inside, the others could hardly remain outside listening, so they all entered the office as well.

Su Ge did not care. He merely looked at Tang San indifferently and asked, "So? What are you trying to say?"
