Lin Tian Slaps Yu Xiaogang's Face! Soul Ring Theory Is Trash!

Yu Xiaogang and Oscar were already standing among the crowd.

The two were observing their surroundings.

Yu Xiaogang occasionally spoke with the Soul Masters beside him, his tone carrying a hint of bragging.

Oscar held a sausage, his face full of concentration.

Lin Tian found a corner and stood there.

Before long, a middle-aged man in luxurious robes emerged from a side door.

Several guards followed behind him.

The middle-aged man looked weary, and anxiety lingered between his brows.

Everyone present immediately fell silent.

The middle-aged man stepped to the front of the hall and clasped his hands toward the crowd.

"Fellow Soul Masters, thank you all for being willing to come and help."

"I am Zhou Yuanshan, the City Lord of Starfall City."

"I invited you here today to treat the injuries of an esteemed guest."

Zhou Yuanshan paused for a moment.

"This esteemed guest comes from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."

"His status is noble, and there must not be the slightest mistake."

"If anyone can cure him, the City Lord's Manor is willing to offer fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"Fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins?"

A commotion immediately broke out in the hall.

For ordinary Soul Masters, fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins was already no small fortune.

Many healing-type Soul Masters exchanged glances, their eyes growing more eager.

Zhou Yuanshan continued:

"Additionally, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family will grant further rewards."

"But I must make this clear in advance."

"Our esteemed guest's injuries are highly unusual."

"If you are not confident, it is best not to act rashly."

"If anything goes wrong during the treatment, the person who acts will bear the consequences himself."

Everyone nodded in succession.

For the City Lord to treat the matter with such gravity, the other party's status was clearly far from ordinary.

Zhou Yuanshan stepped aside.

"Please follow me inside."

The Soul Masters entered the hall one after another.

Lin Tian followed behind them as well.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang suddenly turned his head.

His gaze landed on Lin Tian.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Yu Xiaogang's expression quickly darkened.

"Lin Tian!"

That shout made everyone in the hall turn to look.

Oscar also turned toward Lin Tian.

A trace of surprise first appeared on his face, but he quickly looked away.

Yu Xiaogang strode over to Lin Tian.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Tian remained calm.

"Why can't I be here?"

Yu Xiaogang looked Lin Tian up and down.

When Lin Tian had left Shrek Academy, he had possessed only level ten Soul Power and did not even have a single Soul Ring.

In Yu Xiaogang's view, Lin Tian had had no ability to survive after leaving the academy.

Yet now that they met again, Lin Tian was still neatly dressed, his aura steady, and he even stood straighter than before.

That made Yu Xiaogang extremely uncomfortable.

"I thought you had died outside long ago."

"Who would have thought you were still alive?"

The surrounding Soul Masters revealed strange expressions upon hearing that.

Lin Tian looked at Yu Xiaogang.

"Sorry to disappoint you."

Yu Xiaogang's expression turned ugly.

"Have you found somewhere to go now?"

"What does that have to do with you?"

Lin Tian's reply was exceedingly direct.

Yu Xiaogang's chest rose and fell.

"I am concerned about you."

"After leaving Shrek, don't you know how dangerous the outside world is?"

Lin Tian said indifferently:

"My affairs do not require your concern."

Yu Xiaogang raised a hand and pointed toward the hall.

"Then what are you doing here?"

Lin Tian glanced in the direction Zhou Yuanshan had left.

"I heard the prince was poisoned, so I came to take a look."

Yu Xiaogang was first stunned, then revealed a mocking expression.

"You?"

"You, a level-twenty Soul Master, want to detoxify the prince?"

Lin Tian ignored his mockery.

But Yu Xiaogang only grew more animated.

"You do not even have your first Soul Ring. You do not even count as a Soul Master."

"Treating the prince is not something someone like you can participate in."

"Leave immediately. Do not embarrass yourself here."

All the Soul Masters in the hall looked over.

They already knew that Lin Tian possessed only level-twenty Soul Power.

Quite a few people present had reached the realm of Soul Elder or even Soul Ancestor.

A level-twenty Soul Master daring to treat the prince truly was surprising.

Lin Tian looked at Yu Xiaogang.

"You, a fraud, came to detoxify the prince too, didn't you?"

Yu Xiaogang's face instantly flushed red.

What he cared about most was the title of Grandmaster.

Now that Lin Tian had called him a fraud before so many people, how could Yu Xiaogang remain calm?

"What did you say?"

"I said you are a fraud."

Soul Power suddenly surged from Yu Xiaogang's body.

A pale purple Luo Sanpao appeared behind him.

Two yellow Soul Rings circled his body.

The pressure of his Soul Power bore down on Lin Tian.

The surrounding Soul Masters retreated one after another.

Yu Xiaogang raised his palm.

"Lin Tian, after leaving Shrek, you have actually become this arrogant."

"Today, I will make you understand what it means to respect your elders!"

Lin Tian stood where he was and did not summon his martial soul.

"Those things of yours deserve to be called theory?"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes grew even darker.

"Using my own theories, I cultivated a genius like Tang San."

"There are also quite a few students in Shrek Academy who have received my guidance."

"You are the first person who has dared call me a fraud in public."

Lin Tian looked at him.

"What does Tang San's talent have to do with your theories?"

"Even without your guidance, he could still cultivate."

"As for the others at Shrek, they merely possessed decent talent themselves."

"You simply took other people's talent and used it to decorate your own reputation."

Yu Xiaogang's breath caught.

"You..."

Lin Tian did not give him the chance to keep arguing.

"Every one of your theories is wrong."

"Especially that claim that a Soul Master's first Soul Ring can only absorb one of a little over four hundred years."

"It is utterly absurd."

Yu Xiaogang's face reddened.

"This theory has been verified many times."

"Countless Soul Masters have absorbed Soul Rings according to my methods."

"You, someone without even a Soul Ring, dare insult my research?"

Lin Tian said indifferently:

"Since you believe your theories are not wrong, then see the facts clearly."

"The limit of a first Soul Ring was never a little over four hundred years."

Yu Xiaogang glared at Lin Tian.

"How do you intend to prove it?"

"Very simply."

Lin Tian took a step forward.

The Soul Power fluctuations in the hall suddenly came to a halt.

The Soul Power within his body began to rise.

Level-twenty Soul Power spread from his body.

The next moment.

Azure Divine Light bloomed from within Lin Tian.

The Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus slowly appeared behind him.

Its lotus leaves gently unfurled, and a life force covered the entire hall.

The potted plants around them swiftly sprouted tender shoots.

The previously dim hall was also illuminated by azure light.

The expression on Yu Xiaogang's face completely froze.

Oscar's eyes widened as well.

As he looked at that Azure Lotus, a sense of oppression rose within him.

That was not an aura an ordinary plant martial soul could possess.

Beneath Lin Tian's feet, a black ring of light slowly rose.

Pitch-black radiance reflected across the floor as Soul Power spread from the Soul Ring.

Every Soul Master present stopped moving.

Many stared at the Soul Ring beneath Lin Tian's feet, their bodies frozen in place.

A black Soul Ring.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!

Lin Tian raised his gaze toward Yu Xiaogang.

"Didn't you say that a first Soul Ring could only absorb one of a little over four hundred years?"

"Open your eyes and look carefully."

"Exactly how many years is my first Soul Ring?"
