Under Wang Tianyi's gaze, Yu Xiaogang's face visibly changed from flushed red to livid, then from livid to black.
Mocked so sharply by a junior, when had the proud Master ever suffered such humiliation? His heart burned with rage, but beneath that anger was also the panic of having his true colors exposed. That second emotion lasted only an instant. His theories had been painstakingly compiled through sleepless nights, copied bit by bit from the books of ancient sages! How could a scholar's work be called plagiarism? It was called proper reference and integration.
Yes, exactly!
In less than two seconds, Yu Xiaogang adjusted his mindset. He looked at Wang Tianyi with anger in his eyes, yet still forced himself to wear the expression of someone eager to nurture talent.
But Wang Tianyi had already grown tired of wasting words on him! His arrogant personality was at work. In Wang Tianyi's eyes, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San beside him were nothing more than two clowns. They were not worth his notice. Talking to people like them was a waste of time; he might as well return to training.
Yu Xiaogang naturally refused to give up so easily. He pursued Wang Tianyi relentlessly, following behind him the entire time. Tang San, wearing a blank expression, moved his feet like a corpse. He had even wanted to immediately renounce his teacher! But the beliefs ingrained in his bones would not permit it. Tang San began harshly criticizing himself. Yu Xiaogang was his teacher—how could he look at his own teacher with such shallow eyes? Yu Xiaogang must have some extraordinary qualities; Tang San simply had yet to discover them.
After adjusting his attitude toward Xiao Gang, Tang San naturally began to resent Wang Tianyi! His teacher had invited him so enthusiastically, lowered himself so much, and had practically turned into a simp, yet this brat still dared refuse. He truly did not know what was good for him and was courting death!
Wang Tianyi quickened his pace. He considered speaking with someone like Yu Xiaogang an insult to himself, so he would not even offer a response. Yet he had clearly underestimated Yu Xiaogang's determination—underestimated a "Master" born into a prestigious family, yet awakened with a useless Martial Soul, who had grown up amid others' ridicule and shamelessly used himself as bait to steal documents!
When hunger struck, Wang Tianyi ran to the cafeteria. Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San and sat directly across from him. Unable to bear the disturbance, Wang Tianyi returned to his dormitory, but Yu Xiaogang stood beside his bed without the slightest concern for the shocked looks from Wang Tianyi's roommates. Wang Tianyi's patience was nearing its limit. Displaying his formidable physical prowess, he leaped onto the roof in a single bound, but Yu Xiaogang actually fetched a ladder and followed after him.
This was no longer persistence. This was madness! He had completely lost it!
Wang Tianyi could not understand it. No matter what, Yu Xiaogang should have been someone with immense pride. How could he lower himself like this? What Wang Tianyi did not know was that during Yu Xiaogang's pursuit, everything Wang Tianyi revealed had steadily intensified Yu Xiaogang's desire! Wang Tianyi could easily leap onto a roof through physical strength alone, something a one-ring Soul Grandmaster could absolutely never accomplish. Yu Xiaogang had reached out several times and had even used his Soul Power. After all, it was the Soul Power of a level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster, accumulated over countless years. Yet Wang Tianyi did not even need to turn his head; with his powerful spiritual power, he could easily evade every attempt...
Yu Xiaogang's eyes grew brighter and brighter. In his eyes, Wang Tianyi was no longer an uncut jade, but an unparalleled treasure radiating brilliance, merely waiting for someone to wipe away the dust covering him!
Who could possibly refuse a disciple like this?
The pitiful one was Tang San. He had followed behind Yu Xiaogang the entire time, his face flushed red. Having lived two lives, Tang San possessed immense pride. Following the teacher he had just acknowledged and fawning over a peer in the academy was an incredibly humiliating matter in his eyes. Especially those looks the students gave him and his teacher—they were like blades, carving chunk after chunk of flesh from his body!
"Become my disciple. You will not lose out! This Master will prepare a suitable second soul beast for you. With the help of my theories, every one of your Soul Rings will be extraordinary! You have a power-attack Martial Soul, right? Judging by its appearance, its quality should be extremely high. But have you considered that if you added a single-element plant Soul Ring to your Martial Soul, you might gain a single element, perhaps even master the power of plant Entanglement! Then you could weaken your opponents with poison and clash head-on with them using your powerful body..."
Finally! Wang Tianyi had been annoyed to the limit!
At that moment, his thoughts were controlled by his arrogant personality, which came from Six Ears, the embodiment of original sin. It was a divine monkey that feared neither heaven nor earth, cruel and violent! Killing intent had already arisen in Wang Tianyi's heart!
System, can I change my choice to option three? I'm going to smash this idiot's brains out! Then I'll hide in the deep mountains, train until I become a Titled Douluo, and turn that bitch Bibi Dong into minced meat!
[The host has already selected option two. The reward has been issued and cannot be changed! Please steady your mind, host. Do not allow your Martial Soul to influence your consciousness!]
The system's electronic voice calmed Wang Tianyi somewhat.
Impulsiveness was the devil—there was nothing wrong with that saying. If Wang Tianyi really killed Yu Xiaogang, then with that crazy bitch Bibi Dong's personality, even if he could escape, his father would not be spared! That was a line Wang Tianyi would never allow anyone to cross after coming into this world.
Boom!
A powerful wave of Soul Power erupted from Wang Tianyi. Even if he could not kill Yu Xiaogang right now, he absolutely refused to keep listening to this man ramble!
A purple-tinged yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring lit up beneath Wang Tianyi's feet. Yu Xiaogang's voice instantly died. His pupils contracted sharply, and his voice turned shrill.
"No, the color of this Soul Ring is wrong. This is not a four-hundred-year Soul Ring at all!"
Yu Xiaogang took the greatest pride in his theories, and the thing he bragged about most was the maximum age of Soul Rings that Soul Masters could absorb at each stage! The limit for a first Soul Ring was four hundred and twenty-three years, yet the Soul Ring beneath Wang Tianyi's feet had definitely surpassed that limit. And not by a little—judging from its color, it was absolutely over eight hundred years old!
How was that possible?
An eight-hundred-year Soul Ring, yet this brat had not been burst apart by Soul Power?
But the Soul Ring was only an appetizer!
Golden light burst from Wang Tianyi's body. Sun Wukong's full battle attire appeared, making him look mighty and extraordinary, like a heavenly god descending into the world.
Fine golden fur grew from the surface of his skin, especially over his cheeks. Ordinarily, Soul Masters with Beast Martial Souls would gain a savage and ferocious aura after Martial Soul Possession, but Wang Tianyi did not. Instead, he gave off an incomparably sacred feeling, utterly steadfast and blazing with pure yang energy!
"What Martial Soul is this?"
Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, then saw Wang Tianyi flick his wrist and pull an embroidery needle from his ear. The needle expanded in the wind, becoming as thick as a bowl's rim and a zhang long in the blink of an eye. It was completely disproportionate to Wang Tianyi's build—far too large—and it also felt excessively heavy.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang weighed thirteen thousand five hundred jin. Like the Golden Chainmail Armor, it was a weapon that came with the Martial Soul itself! In this fantasy world, getting grazed by it meant injury, and getting hit by it meant death!
Sacred Virtue's Great Sage soothed the violence in Wang Tianyi's heart, but even so, Yu Xiaogang was sent flying!
He did not die, but the blood he vomited was enough to make two pots of spicy blood curd stew...
