Who Told You to Do This?

Gangzi and Xiao Gang howled in pain.

Tang San threw himself into Su Chen's arms.

With tears in his eyes, he said, "Teacher, you finally came back."

Su Chen stared icily at the two Gangs.

He planted a foot on Xiao Gang and said, "Why didn't that Mandala Snake poison you to death?"

Su Chen then planted a foot on Gangzi and said:

"You actually dared to let Little San absorb a hundred-year Lone Bamboo."

"You were practically harming Little San!"

Su Chen sent both Gangs flying with a kick:

"Can't you see my own Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings?"

"Only someone blind would let Tang San absorb this Hundred-Year Soul Ring."

As he spoke.

Su Chen released seven Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Both Gangs instantly flushed scarlet.

The undeniable first seven Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Struck their faces like sharp slaps.

In an instant.

Xiao Gang and Gangzi were left speechless.

The atmosphere grew unbearably awkward.

After taking a quarter of an hour to recover.

Xiao Gang and Gangzi argued in their own defense:

"Su Chen, we're both Tang San's teachers."

"Do you think everyone can be like you?"

"With all seven of their first Soul Rings black?"

"You managed to become a Limit Douluo yourself."

"Don't you know the fatal risks involved?"

"We only wanted what was best for Tang San!"

Su Chen gritted his teeth. "A villain racking his brains."

"Can't match a fool's flash of inspiration."

Xiao Gang and Gangzi cursed:

"Who are you calling fools?"

Su Chen viciously gave them another two resounding slaps:

"Don't ever let me see you do this again."

"Otherwise, you'll find out that I'm not a Limit Douluo who just sits around eating."

Xiao Gang and Gangzi shrank back in fear.

Su Chen's eyes gleamed scarlet before them.

They fully believed Su Chen would slaughter them in public.

But Xiao Gang and Gangzi said with great regret:

"This is a hundred-year Lone Bamboo."

"And this is a hundred-year Mandala Snake."

"Isn't it such a waste not to absorb two four-hundred-year Soul Rings?"

Su Chen's face instantly darkened at their words:

"Who told you to do this?"

"Are two low-grade Soul Rings even worthy of Little San absorbing them?"

"No wonder your own theories have trapped you in your tracks."

"You deserve to be level twenty-nine and past fifty."

Xiao Gang and Gangzi's faces instantly flushed red.

They wanted to retort, yet could not open their mouths.

But they still firmly believed in their theories and said:

"You need to understand, Su Chen."

"On this continent, the limit age for the first Soul Ring is only four hundred and twenty-three years."

"Beyond that, any Soul Ring exceeding the age limit has a very high chance of making someone explode and die."

"Little San is still young. There's no need to take such a fatal risk."

"You're practically gambling with your disciple's life!"

"You don't deserve to be Little San's teacher."

Su Chen laughed coldly. "Your horizons."

"Are narrow to the extreme. Absorbing Soul Rings is already an act of defying heaven."

"Where is there any comfort to enjoy?"

"Just because you're trash doesn't mean Little San is trash too."

Tang San's blood surged at his words:

"Teacher Su, I want to be like you too!"

Xiao Gang and Gangzi's faces reddened once again.

What Su Chen said made perfect sense.

A Soul Master's cultivation was inherently an act of defying heaven.

Anyone who wanted comfort should not become a Soul Master.

But Xiao Gang and Gangzi continued arguing:

"Su Chen, even if you're right."

"You still can't play around with Little San's life!"

"Little San is still young. A four-hundred-year Soul Ring is the safest choice."

Su Chen shook his head repeatedly in anger:

"You really are two self-righteous grandmasters."

"If you want to become a Limit Douluo."

"Pain so unbearable you wish you were dead is just the basics."

"Do you think Little San is like you?"

"With such narrow horizons?"

Tang San voiced his wholehearted agreement:

"Teacher Xiao Gang, Teacher Gangzi."

"I'm not afraid of hardship."

"As long as I can become a Limit Douluo."

"No amount of suffering will matter!"

In an instant.

Xiao Gang and Gangzi flushed scarlet again.

They said angrily:

"Little San! Don't believe this madman."

"Absorbing a ten-thousand-year ring as your first Soul Ring flies in the face of all accepted teachings."

"What major power on the continent would dare do that?"

"Even Spirit Hall only lets its disciples absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring as their first at most."

"And even that means risking their lives."

Su Chen sent them both flying with another kick.

He said through gritted teeth:

"The Douluo Continent is vast, with great opportunities everywhere."

"There are countless medicinal herbs that improve spiritual power and physical strength."

"Don't you make any preparations before absorbing Soul Rings?"

"Who told you to do this?"

"To rush here to hunt Soul Rings without even preparing?"

Xiao Gang and Gangzi suddenly came to their senses:

"We actually forgot that there are still many great opportunities in this world."

"Such as medicinal herbs and treasures that can defy heaven and change one's fate."

Su Chen said coldly:

"When absorbing Soul Rings, the age limit may be a fixed rule."

"But you also need to understand that every Soul Master has a different constitution."

"Have you compiled statistics on those who absorbed Thousand-Year Soul Rings?"

Su Chen sent them both flying with another slap.

He scoffed at their rigid theories.

Xiao Gang and Gangzi stubbornly refused to repent:

"Where could a commoner like Tang San buy supreme medicinal treasures?"

"Any single immortal herb costs hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins."

"And that's with a price but none available to buy."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for taking Bibi Dong as a disciple."

"You are hereby rewarded with one million Gold Soul Coins."

"The funds have been deposited into your Black Card. Please use them with confidence."

The system's mechanical voice rang out in Su Chen's mind.

Su Chen took a deep breath.

He took out the Black Card and flung it into the two Gangs' faces.

"Open your eyes and look!"

"Is one million Gold Soul Coins enough?"

Su Chen spoke coldly.

Xiao Gang and Gangzi were cowed by Su Chen's imposing presence.

They picked up the Black Card from the ground in disbelief.

As far as they knew.

Obtaining a Black Card required five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

"Does this card really have one million Gold Soul Coins in it?"

Xiao Gang and Gangzi asked incredulously.

With a suction from his palm, Su Chen retrieved the Black Card and said:

"You don't deserve to know!"

Even Tang San's little face was filled with shock:

"Teacher Su, are you really this rich?"

"As a work-study student, I only earn ten Copper Soul Coins a day cleaning the garden."

"One million Gold Soul Coins is simply unimaginable!"

Su Chen affectionately stroked Tang San's little head and said:

"Be good, Little San!"

"Don't pay attention to these two fools."

"Let's return to the academy first."

Xiao Gang and Gangzi flushed scarlet.

Su Chen simply paid them no regard.

Nuoding Academy.

Inside the office.

The two Gangs were like children who had done something wrong.

Their heads were slightly lowered, and they dared not look Su Chen in the eye.

Su Chen sat in an office chair and said:

"Who told you to do this?"

"Didn't I say that Little San's first Soul Ring had to be a ten-thousand-year one?"

Xiao Gang argued, "Su Chen, don't think you can act like a dictator just because you're powerful!"

"According to my theory, absorbing a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake Soul Ring is the proper path for Little San."

Gangzi also argued, "I only wanted what was best for Tang San."

"Who told you to leave for so many days?"

"Don't you know that a disciple absorbing his first Soul Ring is a very important matter?"

"What a fine Soul Ring that four-hundred-year Lone Bamboo was."

"And you wasted it!"

Only at this moment did Tang San suddenly awaken to the truth.

These two Grandmasters were simply beyond saving.

They were treating him as nothing but a tool.

All just to validate their own theories.

Su Chen slammed his palm onto the desk and said:

"Day in, day out, all you think about is your theories."

"Why don't you think about how you broke through level 29 at fifty?"

"Do I need to keep going?"

Xiao Gang and Gangzi flushed scarlet once again.

Su Chen's words were practically tearing open their old wounds.

Xiao Gang and Gangzi had their pride, too.

Once again, they tried to argue their way out:

"Do you think you can obtain heavenly treasures just because you have money?"

"Tang San, you, and I are all merely commoners."

"What standing or resources do we have to obtain such great opportunities?"

"You should know that those medicinal herbs are all guarded by powerful factions."

"What gives you the right to berate us?"

Su Chen shot to his feet and said:

"Have you heard of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

In a flash.

Xiao Gang and Gangzi said in shock:

"That place is a death trap."

"Even touching its outer perimeter means instant death!"
