Yu Xiaogang Had Some Nerve! He Even Dared to Woo the Former Empress of the Heaven Dou Empire?
[Seeing you reminded me of your mother. Her taste was truly awful—she actually fell for a good-for-nothing like Yu Xiaogang!]
[Yu Xiaogang had nothing going for him. Even his one claim to fame, Martial Soul Theory, was entirely plagiarized.]
[For everything else, he relied on his silver tongue to fool people. He was nothing but a fraud who stole a reputation he never deserved!]
[The greatest stroke of luck in his life was probably taking Tang San, who would one day become a god, as his disciple.]
[And that was Tang San's greatest misfortune.]
[Without Yu Xiaogang, Tang San wouldn't have been affected at all. His cultivation might even have gone more smoothly.]
[Without Tang San, Yu Xiaogang was nothing.]
Ning Wen nodded to himself.
That was certainly true.
Compared with how important Yao Lao was to Xiao Yan, Yu Xiaogang was clearly holding Tang San back.
To be fair, Yu Xiaogang did have some use.
At the very least, he could fool Bibi Dong, who let love cloud her judgment.
Otherwise, faced with the powerful Spirit Hall, Tang San would probably have spent the early and middle stages of his journey hiding from place to place.
[The moment Yu Xiaogang heard that Tang San had awakened the supposedly useless Blue Silver Grass but possessed Innate Full Soul Power, he became absolutely certain that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls.]
[The funny thing was, his reasoning was simple: he believed a useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass could never have Innate Full Soul Power.]
[And just like that, Tang San fell for it and set foot on a road of no return.]
[If Tang San's mother hadn't left him such a rich inheritance, his primary Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, would have been half ruined.]
[Yu Xiaogang had even come close to choosing a ten-year Lone Bamboo as the Soul Ring for the Blue Silver Emperor's first soul skill. If he had, Tang San's first skill might have turned into a Blue Silver pole vault.]
This time, Ning Wen nearly laughed out loud.
To be honest, even absorbing a ten-year Lone Bamboo as a Soul Ring might have been better than the Mandala Snake.
After all, Blue Silver Grass's greatest strength was its vitality.
Whatever else could be said about a ten-year Lone Bamboo, its vitality certainly wouldn't have been weak.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong exchanged glances and drew in sharp breaths.
In their eyes, Qian Renxue was Xue Qinghe.
In other words, as far as they knew,
Xue Qinghe's mother was the former empress of the Heaven Dou Empire, who had died long ago.
Yu Xiaogang had some nerve!
He had even dared to woo the former empress of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Then again, Yu Xiaogang had managed to win over Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall Pope and the most exalted woman on the continent.
The Heaven Dou empress hardly seemed beyond him by comparison.
But what charm could a good-for-nothing like Yu Xiaogang possibly have that made powerful women like Bibi Dong and the Heaven Dou empress fall for him?
Qian Renxue, meanwhile, looked utterly bewildered.
What was wrong with that?
Of course mere Blue Silver Grass couldn't have Innate Full Soul Power!
And what was this Blue Silver Emperor?
Wasn't it supposed to be Blue Silver Grass?
[Yu Xiaogang didn't even know the prerequisite for the birth of Twin Martial Souls, yet he dared call himself a master. The nerve of him!]
The prerequisite for the birth of Twin Martial Souls?
The others present were even more confused.
Unlike Yu Xiaogang, they didn't have so much time on their hands that they would deliberately study Martial Soul Theory.
[Dragons Do Not Associate with Snakes!]
[That held true everywhere.]
[Yu Xiaogang kept saying Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was a useless Martial Soul, so Tang San must have another, powerful Martial Soul. Only then could his Blue Silver Grass possess Innate Full Soul Power.]
[One of Tang San's Martial Souls was the Clear Sky Hammer.]
[But in terms of quality, his Blue Silver Grass was definitely superior to the Clear Sky Hammer.]
"How is that possible?"
Chen Xin's eyes widened in disbelief.
The Clear Sky Hammer was hailed as the world's greatest tool Martial Soul.
Blue Silver Grass, on the other hand, was universally regarded as a useless Martial Soul.
There was no comparing the two.
So why did Ning Wen say Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was superior to the Clear Sky Hammer?
[Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was actually the Blue Silver Emperor. It simply hadn't awakened yet.]
[The Blue Silver Emperor was a top-tier plant Martial Soul, the sovereign of all Blue Silver Grass. Only one appeared in each generation. How could it not be better than that lousy hammer?]
Ning Wen's mouth twitched.
Only you would call the Clear Sky Hammer a lousy hammer.
A thoughtful look flashed through Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
Dragons Do Not Associate with Snakes.
It made sense. How could the mighty Clear Sky Hammer coexist with a useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass?
He had never heard of the Blue Silver Emperor, but judging from Ning Wen's thoughts, it was clearly no ordinary Martial Soul.
How could it be?
Only one appeared in each generation.
Those words alone were enough to prove how powerful the Blue Silver Emperor was.
Beside him, Qian Renxue was equally shaken.
Even she had heard of Yu Xiaogang, but she had never expected him to be a fraud who did nothing but talk and fool people.
And then there was Tang San, Tang Hao's son. He possessed the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Silver Emperor as Twin Martial Souls, had Innate Full Soul Power, and would one day ascend to godhood just as she would.
Wait. Yu Xiaogang was also her former lover.
My mother...
No. I've never acknowledged that woman as my mother.
Just as this little brat said, her taste was terrible. How could she fall for a man like that?
[Come to think of it, Yu Xiaogang really was a disgrace and a fool!]
[Bibi Dong was the second person in the past century to possess Twin Martial Souls: the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor. There wasn't much difference between those two Martial Souls.]
[He had such an obvious example right in front of him, yet he never thought to learn from it.]
[Did he truly know nothing but how to plagiarize?]
Ning Fengzhi felt he might never be able to look Yu Yuanzhen in the eye again.
After all, Yu Yuanzhen was the one who had fathered Yu Xiaogang!
If one of Ning Fengzhi's descendants turned out to be such a disgraceful fool who led others astray, he would be the first to expel him from the sect.
He wouldn't let the man bring shame upon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
[All because Yu Xiaogang was credited with teaching Tang San, who became a god.]
[Later generations praised Yu Xiaogang and that ridiculous saying of his: "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters."]
[I'll say it again: applied to anyone else, it was inspiring. Applied to him, it was the greatest irony!]
[He was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Martial Soul he awakened carried the Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline. But he was so incompetent that he turned it into a pig that did nothing but fart.]
[At fifty, he was still stuck at rank twenty-nine as a Soul Grandmaster. He never reached Soul Elder in his entire life!]
[By his own words,]
[he was the most useless Soul Master of all!]
Hearing this, Ning Wen raised an eyebrow.
If he remembered correctly, in the original story, Yu Xiaogang had taken the Immortal Herb Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, evolving his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, into the Golden Sacred Dragon and breaking through to rank thirty.
But on second thought, Ning Wen knew that if it were up to him, he would claim the opportunity at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first and leave nothing for Tang San.
If Tang San didn't get any Immortal Herbs himself, there was no chance he would give one to Yu Xiaogang.
