Publicly Executing Yu Xiaogang: There Are No Useless Martial Souls, Only Useless Soul Masters?

As the head of the Upper Three Sects back then, the Clear Sky Sect's strength was beyond question!

If the Clear Sky Sect's strength had truly been no match for Spirit Hall's back then—

If, faced with Spirit Hall's attack, the Clear Sky Sect had been unable to provide support, then the Four Great Clans could not possibly have hated the Clear Sky Sect to the bone.

But the key was the force Spirit Hall had deployed for that attack.

The Clear Sky Sect clearly had the strength to fight, yet it chose not to confront them head-on and instead chose to hide.

Then it sold out the Four Great Clans and the many other forces attached to the Clear Sky Sect.

Among them, the Four Great Clans had actually fared relatively well. At least they had not been completely wiped out and had barely survived.

But the many forces that had been dependent on the Clear Sky Sect and were annihilated—those were the ones that had truly suffered devastating losses!

Yang Wudi, clan leader of the Breaking Clan, sneered. "Clear Sky Sect? It's nothing more than a worthless sect that didn't even dare protect its disciples. I never expected it to sell out its disciples now. Though our Four Great Clans suffered terrible losses, being able to see the Clear Sky Sect's true face because of this is not entirely a bad thing."

Niu Gao snorted. "That's right!"

Because their clans had been dragged down by the Clear Sky Sect and suffered grievous losses, from which they had yet to recover, not one of the Four Great Clans did not hate the Clear Sky Sect to the bone.

However, the Four Great Clans held differing attitudes toward Tang Hao.

Tai Tan of the Strength Clan believed Tang Hao had done nothing wrong.

Even though everyone initially knew that Tang Hao had offended Spirit Hall, causing Spirit Hall to attack the Clear Sky Sect and drag the Four Great Clans into it.

But the Strength Clan had always been fiercely protective of its own. In Tai Tan's eyes, no matter how Tang Hao had offended Spirit Hall, as his sect, the Clear Sky Sect should never have cast him aside like worn-out shoes. It should have protected Tang Hao to the death.

Therefore, Tai Tan had hated only the Clear Sky Sect from beginning to end.

As for Bai He of the Speed Clan, since his younger sister was Tang Hao's mother, he was even less likely to hate Tang Hao. Thus, he too hated the Clear Sky Sect.

The Defense Clan and the Breaking Clan, meanwhile, had previously hated Tang Hao just as deeply as they hated the Clear Sky Sect.

But now that they knew Tang Hao had also been sold out by the Clear Sky Sect, leading to the tragedy that followed—

They no longer hated Tang Hao as bitterly as before. Instead, they even felt a sense of shared misery with him, so now they hated only the Clear Sky Sect.

Of course, seeing Tang Hao still defend the Clear Sky Sect, Niu Gao and Yang Wudi both felt frustrated by his failure to live up to expectations. But this was different from their previous bone-deep hatred.

Yet in the unanimous view of the Four Great Clans, the Clear Sky Sect possessed the strength to fight Spirit Hall. As long as it gathered all its forces, it might not have been unable to battle Spirit Hall. Of course, that was only what they believed; Spirit Hall had actually hidden its strength and likely had not gone all out against the Clear Sky Sect either.

The Clear Sky Sect had abandoned every force under its command and chosen only to preserve itself.

This inevitably left the Four Great Clans, who had rendered tremendous service to the Clear Sky Sect, feeling chilled and enraged.

Lin Yu sneered. "Yu Xiaogang, you human piece of trash, get lost. I haven't even brought up your dirty history yet. Is it your turn to speak now?"

In his previous life, Lin Yu had always found Tang Hao unpleasant.

Now, he had been driving a wedge between Tang Hao and Ah Yin, and everything had been progressing wonderfully. Yet Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had suddenly jumped out and even defended Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect.

Neither of them was any good anyway. Everything had already been set up, so Lin Yu could not be bothered to keep pretending around Yu Xiaogang. He would just curse him out!

After being cursed at by Lin Yu, Yu Xiaogang was immediately dumbfounded.

Why was he being cursed? He had merely voiced his opinion!

But after his initial bewilderment, he realized he had been called useless—in front of everyone across the Douluo Continent.

A surge of humiliation and rage instantly welled up in Yu Xiaogang's heart.

He, Yu Xiaogang, hated being called useless more than anything!

And this was in front of so many people, especially with Erlong and Dong'er present.

But before Yu Xiaogang could retort, Liu Erlong jumped out.

Liu Erlong said angrily, "I will not allow you to insult Xiaogang! Though Xiaogang's cultivation is lacking, that is because of his martial soul. If Xiaogang's martial soul were also the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, he would definitely be a powerful Soul Master. And even with a flawed martial soul, Xiaogang never gave up. He remained steadfast and unyielding, choosing to research martial souls instead. Doesn't the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul that Xiaogang proposed sufficiently prove how outstanding he is?"

Seeing Liu Erlong's words, Lin Yu immediately laughed.

The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul? That laughable theory that was full of nonsense, with only one theory of any real use, and that claimed there were no useless martial souls, only Soul Masters who did not know how to cultivate—yet its creator was useless himself?

Lin Yu said, "I'm laughing! This Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang you speak of seems not to have even broken through to Soul Grandmaster, yet he conducts martial soul research. Where did his data come from? I won't even mention the source of the data behind these Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul. I'll just bring up one theory in it: there are no useless martial souls, only Soul Masters who do not know how to cultivate. There is such a theory, right? Since that is the case, may I ask: if there are no so-called useless martial souls and only useless Soul Masters, why is this Grandmaster still a Soul Grandmaster? Didn't he say there were no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters? Or could it be that... this Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang is simply too useless?"

On the illusionary screen, Lin Yu directly laid out the self-contradictory theory that countless netizens in his previous life had used to mock Yu Xiaogang, his face filled with ridicule, publicly executing him on the spot!

There were no useless martial souls, only Soul Masters who did not know how to cultivate. Yet after all that, he himself was still useless.

He could not even put his own theory into practice, yet he expected others to believe it? What a joke!

Passerby A: "Pfft! Hahaha, I can't take it anymore. Is this real? He proposed the theory himself, yet he can't even achieve it. So this is the so-called theory Grandmaster? How hilarious!"

Passerby B: "Haha! I think I've seen that theory. It's already been published, but no one has bought it from the library. The theories inside are like a game. I stopped reading after two points. Who doesn't know that the strength of a martial soul is directly proportional to Innate Soul Power? And that there are no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters? Everyone knows how important martial souls are. Yet after all that, he can't even fulfill his own second theory. That's too funny!"

Passerby C: "It really is funny. I've heard of him too. He's just a clown in the Soul Master world. Surely no one actually takes him seriously, right? No way!"

After Lin Yu mockingly pointed out Grandmaster's self-contradictory theory and exposed Yu Xiaogang's shortcomings, many people on the illusionary screen could not help bursting into laughter.

If people like Ning Fengzhi and other big shots had been speaking, no one would have dared interrupt.

But who was Yu Xiaogang? Some insignificant nobody. Upon hearing that Yu Xiaogang was merely a useless Soul Grandmaster, many nobles and Soul Masters began mocking him one after another.

Yu Xiaogang: "You!!!"

Within Notting Academy in Notting City.

When Yu Xiaogang saw the many people on the illusionary screen mocking him, while he was unable to refute them, his face immediately flushed red with shame and fury. Unable to hold back, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his vision went black as he collapsed onto the bed.

Meanwhile, at Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou Imperial City—

Seeing so many people on the illusionary screen mock Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong was utterly furious. She wanted to refute them, but had no way to do so.

Because this time, Lin Yu had not mocked Yu Xiaogang. He had merely laid out one of Yu Xiaogang's theories, yet that theory itself had insulted Yu Xiaogang.

How was she supposed to refute that?

At the same time, within Shrek Academy in Suotuo City.

When Flender saw Lin Yu point out the theory proposed by his brother Yu Xiaogang—a theory that even he found rather speechless—he nearly burst out laughing.

When he had first learned of the theory Yu Xiaogang proposed, he had not even known what to say.

Yet Liu Erlong had greatly admired Yu Xiaogang's "talent."

Now that he saw Lin Yu publicly execute Yu Xiaogang, Flender somehow felt a secret thrill of satisfaction.

But Flender quickly came to his senses and hurriedly admonished himself inwardly.

Yu Xiaogang is your brother. How can you laugh at your brother alongside outsiders?

But Lin Yu spoke again.

Lin Yu said disdainfully, "Why isn't this human piece of trash saying anything? Has he realized he's useless? He confidently declared that there were no useless martial souls in this world, only useless Soul Masters, yet he himself is useless. What a joke! As for you claiming that the Clear Sky Sect was not the chief culprit, you're merely clinging to the fact that the Clear Sky Sect suffered losses too. Today, I'll tell everyone exactly how everything happened back then!"
