Yu Xiaogang Gets Humiliated the Moment He Appears

In the cafeteria, all the students of Shrek Academy had gathered together.

Having heard some rumors, Oscar and Ma Hongjun looked at Tang San and asked, "Third Brother, I heard your teacher has arrived and will be staying to teach us. Is that true?"

Tang San nodded and said with a smile, "It's true."

He was also very happy that Yu Xiaogang could stay.

"Someone capable of teaching a prodigy like Third Brother must be an incredibly powerful prodigy himself."

"I heard from Dean Flender that Third Brother's teacher is called Grandmaster, and that he and Dean Flender are brothers."

"Think about it. Could someone who calls the dean his brother possibly be weak?"

Oscar's analysis made Ma Hongjun look at Tang San with great envy.

With such a powerful person as his teacher, it was no wonder Tang San had become such a prodigy.

Tang San spoke up at that moment. "Little Ao, my teacher isn't what you think. However, he is a great teacher, a great teacher filled with wisdom." As he spoke, Tang San's eyes were full of smiles, as though he felt fortunate to have such a great teacher.

It was not hard to tell from Tang San's humble words that this Grandmaster was not only powerful, but also exceptionally wise.

This made Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun look forward to meeting the Grandmaster even more.

Before long, Flender entered the cafeteria with Yu Xiaogang.

The moment Yu Xiaogang entered, his appearance stunned everyone.

His shocking green hair, unshaven stubble, and simple yet far-from-plain clothes made Oscar and the others certain at a glance that this man was no ordinary person.

"Third Brother, is this your teacher, the Grandmaster?"

Tang San said with a trace of pride, "Yes. My teacher usually keeps a low profile, so he dresses simply and looks rather ordinary."

Low profile? This was anything but low profile.

With that shocking green hair, he would be the center of attention wherever he went. How could that possibly be low-key?

Ma Hongjun deeply doubted Tang San's words, but it was not appropriate to say so in public.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yu Xiaogang as he entered and recalled what Wang Feng had told her before.

When Wang Feng had tied her up and brought her to Shrek Academy, he had told her that if she met someone called Grandmaster, she should keep her distance as much as possible and judge for herself whether what he taught was right.

In short, Wang Feng had told her that Grandmaster was poisonous and that she should stay away from him whenever possible.

Now that she saw him, he really did seem somewhat improper.

Would a proper person dye his hair green?

"Next, allow me to solemnly introduce someone to you. He is known in the Soul Master world as the wisest Soul Master. Through his own research, he established the Ten Core Competitiveness Theories of Martial Souls and is hailed as the foremost authority on martial soul theory. He is also Tang San's teacher, Mr. Yu Xiaogang. Of course, he is also my old brother. We have known each other for decades. You may not know much when you hear his name, but I believe you have all heard of his title. From now on, just call him Grandmaster."

After introducing Yu Xiaogang, Flender put an arm around him and launched into a grand speech.

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others looked at the Grandmaster with varying expressions.

"From today onward, Grandmaster will be your teacher. He will be responsible for all your future training. All right, Xiaogang, it's time for you to speak."

After Flender finished speaking, he stepped aside and let Yu Xiaogang come forward.

"As my students, there is one thing you must remember and one thing you must do."

"The thing you must remember is this: there are no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters."

"As your teacher, I dare say that when it comes to research on martial souls, there are only a handful in this world who surpass me! I even dare claim second place—no one would dare claim first."

"The first thing you must do is obey during my instruction. Absolute obedience."

"With my teaching and your own hard work, you will certainly become outstanding and powerful Soul Masters."

As soon as Yu Xiaogang stepped onto the stage, he delivered an impassioned, boastful speech.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were greatly excited by it. They could not help but sigh inwardly. No wonder he could teach a prodigy like Tang San. Only a prodigy could teach a prodigy.

Even Dai Mubai looked excited. With such a confident and wise teacher guiding him, growing stronger, winning Zhu Zhuqing over, returning to the Star Luo Empire to kill his elder brother, and inheriting the position of crown prince all seemed within reach.

Tang San and Xiao Wu smiled modestly. They had long admired Grandmaster's knowledge.

Only Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing wore strange expressions after hearing Yu Xiaogang's words.

Seeing their inexplicable expressions, Yu Xiaogang called them out.

"Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, do you have doubts about what I said?"

"Yes!" Ning Rongrong was a young lady of noble birth and had never been afraid to speak her mind. She immediately stood up and asked, "Grandmaster, you just said that there are no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters. Then may I ask, what rank are you now? You want us to obey you completely during training, so we should at least know how strong you are."

"I heard Little Ao say that you and Dean Flender are brothers. Grandmaster, you must be very powerful, right? Could you be a Soul Sage? Or perhaps a Spirit Douluo?"

Because Tang San had deliberately kept things mysterious, Ning Rongrong and the others did not know Yu Xiaogang's rank. Besides, Yu Xiaogang was not as famous as Flender had claimed.

After Ning Rongrong finished, Zhu Zhuqing stood up and continued, "Grandmaster, I do not quite agree with something you said earlier. As you said, there are no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters. Then there are so many ordinary Soul Masters in this world who remain at the Soul Master or even Soul Grandmaster level. Does that mean all those Soul Masters are useless, and that their martial souls have nothing to do with it?"

"Since Grandmaster was able to teach a disciple like Tang San, I believe your words must have some basis. I am simply confused and mean nothing else by it. If Grandmaster does not wish to answer, then just pretend I did not ask."

After Zhu Zhuqing spoke, she sat down. She had not particularly wanted to say anything, but Yu Xiaogang had called on her. She was also confused by Wang Feng's evaluation of Yu Xiaogang, so she stood and voiced her question.

"That's right! Grandmaster, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing make sense! There are so many Soul Masters in this world. If there are no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters, then those ordinary Soul Masters who cannot break through the Soul Master and Soul Grandmaster realms—doesn't that mean they are all useless?"

Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai had not thought much of it before and had even looked at Grandmaster with admiration. But after hearing Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's words, they immediately realized that the two girls were completely right. Instead, it seemed as though Grandmaster had been trying to fool them.

"..."

Yu Xiaogang, standing on the stage with his green hair, was utterly disheveled by the wind.

As the new teacher taking office, he had wanted to establish his authority. He had never expected Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to rebut him so fiercely.

The problem was that one of their questions was difficult to answer, while the other was impossible to answer.

The reason his theories had succeeded was because they had been built upon experiments involving geniuses. Otherwise, why would he have taken Tang San as a disciple rather than anyone else?

"Grandmaster, can you tell us what your strength is? Are you a Soul Sage or a Spirit Douluo?"

When Grandmaster remained silent for a long time, the young lady Ning Rongrong asked again.

"Ahem, well..."

Just as Grandmaster awkwardly failed to find an answer, Tang San stood up. "My teacher is only a Soul Grandmaster, not the Soul Sage or Spirit Douluo you imagine him to be."

"However, in my eyes, my teacher's knowledge is more important than the Soul Sages and Spirit Douluos you speak of."

"The most important thing for students in an academy is to learn knowledge. My teacher is a Soul Master whose knowledge is as deep and vast as the sea. His knowledge is more powerful than what you call strength, because he can make you stronger."

Tang San's grand declaration left Oscar and the others unable to say anything further.

Indeed, Tang San's own strength was the best proof.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San approvingly and sighed inwardly. As expected of his disciple.

"All right, Tang San has already answered Ning Rongrong's question for you. As for Zhu Zhuqing's question..." After hesitating for a moment, Yu Xiaogang explained, "What I said just now was actually meant to encourage you, so that you can cultivate and study better in the days ahead."

"For a Soul Master, talent is actually the most important thing. As long as your talent is good enough, and you receive my guidance, your future careers as Soul Masters will surely shine brilliantly."

After finishing his passionate speech, Yu Xiaogang saw that the expressions of those below had not changed at all. Slightly embarrassed, he merely said they would gather again in three days, hastily ended his speech, and turned to leave.

Flender held back his laughter as he watched Yu Xiaogang leave as though fleeing. After announcing that the meeting was over, he followed Yu Xiaogang out.

"Ha ha ha!"

The moment they returned to the office, Flender saw Yu Xiaogang's dark expression and could not help bursting into laughter.

"Xiaogang, I never thought that someone who always calls himself wise would look so miserable one day. You have truly surprised me."

"Flender, is it that funny?"

"It is, Xiaogang. This is the first time I've seen you like this. I simply can't help it."

Only after Flender had laughed until he clutched his stomach did he gradually return to normal.

"It seems the students here are not so easy to teach."

Thinking of how Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had just refuted him, Yu Xiaogang shot Flender an irritated look.

This was the first time he had been rebuked so thoroughly that he had no way to fight back.

In the past, whenever he appeared, he had always been surrounded by glory. But this time, he had nearly lost all face.

"Of course not! That Ning Rongrong is the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Zhu Zhuqing is from the Zhu Clan of the Star Luo Empire. Do you understand now?"

"No wonder."

Yu Xiaogang finally understood. The people at Flender's academy were nothing but a group of troublemakers.

"Isn't that why I asked you to teach them? I believe that with your methods, you can certainly make them behave obediently."

Yu Xiaogang might not be reliable in other areas, but Flender still trusted him when it came to teaching others.

"Don't worry! I only like teaching when there is a challenge. If they were ordinary students, I would have no interest at all."

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he had already begun planning how to train Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
