Inside the office.
Xiao Gang's and Gangzi's expressions both changed.
"What nonsense are you spouting!!!"
"A ten-thousand-year first soul ring? Are you trying to get San killed?!"
But Su Chen paid no heed to their objections.
Had he defied heaven and changed Yu Xiaogang's fate through theory?
No, he had relied entirely on his own ferocious will.
Not only was his first soul ring ten thousand years old.
His second and third were ten thousand years old, too.
His final three soul rings before godhood were all a hundred thousand years old.
If he had relied on theory alone.
How could he possibly have become a Limit Douluo at such a young age?
These two idiots before him knew nothing but theory and had no practical fighting ability whatsoever.
What did they know of defying convention or possessing a powerful, ferocious will?
Tang San then said, his eyes gleaming:
"Teacher Su, are you serious?"
As he spoke, he was full of anticipation for Su Chen.
Compared with Xiao Gang's and Gangzi's conservative suggestions.
Su Chen's radical suggestion filled him with the greatest anticipation.
He wanted to try defying convention, too.
To experience what it felt like to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul beast's soul ring beyond his level.
Without realizing it.
Su Chen fondly stroked Tang San's little head and said:
"Little fellow, if you become my disciple, you'll have to withstand enormous risks."
"You can also choose to trust these two grandmasters of empty talk."
"But your lifetime potential will top out at Soul Douluo."
Xiao Gang cursed angrily, "Who are you calling a grandmaster of empty talk?"
Gangzi gritted his teeth even harder. "You're a madman."
"So what if your martial soul is magnificent?"
"I bet you're just a Soul Grandmaster like us."
"Utterly laughable."
As they saw it.
Their younger self had only been a rank-25 Soul Grandmaster.
A magnificent martial soul alone? It did little to boost soul power.
So both regarded Su Chen with a hint of mockery.
Tang San was curious, too.
Teacher Su Chen, who possessed the Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul.
Could his strength also be at the Soul Grandmaster level?
Hearing this, Su Chen laughed coldly.
He was not laughing at how useless they were.
But at their ignorance.
Someone who could raise a Golden Sacred Dragon hatchling into a pig.
Was nothing but a clown at heart.
Fortunately, the system had unsealed his strength as a rank-99 Limit Douluo.
Counting the seven or eight seconds he had spent displaying his Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul earlier.
He now had two seconds left to display his strength.
At that moment, seeing Su Chen remain silent, Xiao Gang and Gangzi...
Declared with certainty, "Did we hit a sore spot?"
"You're probably just a rank-25 Soul Grandmaster."
"Your soul power might even be below rank 25."
The two grandmasters mocked him as they spoke.
Tang San was also afraid Teacher Su Chen would embarrass himself in public.
Before coming to the academy, he had learned about soul master ranks.
Reaching rank 29 at fifty was indeed shocking beyond belief.
So Yu Xiaogang's strength in his youth should have been below rank 29, right?
Su Chen abruptly burst out laughing.
Was his Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul really as common as cabbage?
He was a rank-100 God, after all.
If the system had not sealed his cultivation.
He truly wanted to slap these two shameless fellows to death.
"Why don't you two try guessing a little higher?"
Su Chen put away his smile and teased.
Xiao Gang declared shamelessly, "At most, you're a rank-29 Soul Grandmaster!"
Gangzi sneered even harder. "Calling you rank 29 is already flattering you."
After all, both had struggled even to break through to rank 21 in their youth.
At the absolute most, Su Chen was merely a rank-25 Soul Grandmaster.
But Tang San did not want Teacher Su Chen to be embarrassed.
He said to Teachers Xiao Gang and Gangzi:
"I'll take your advice."
"Please stop making things difficult for Teacher Su Chen."
Hearing this, Xiao Gang refused to let go. "I'm not letting this arrogant fellow off."
Gangzi added with biting sarcasm, "If he dares humiliate us in public, he'll have to pay a painful price."
Seeing that his mediation had failed, Tang San could only say helplessly to Su Chen:
"Teacher Su, why don't you back down before them?"
Hearing this, Su Chen burst out laughing:
"Two useless Soul Grandmasters dare demand that a Titled Douluo back down?"
"That's the biggest joke I've heard in my life."
In an unguarded moment.
Xiao Gang and Gangzi froze.
Then they exchanged glances.
Suddenly, they erupted into earth-shaking mockery:
"You???"
"A Titled Douluo???"
"Has this Su Chen lost his mind?"
"A Titled Douluo under thirty is unheard of on the continent."
"Are you crazy, or just stupid?"
The two unleashed a barrage of verbal attacks on Su Chen.
They simply did not believe their younger self could reach the pinnacle of Titled Douluo.
But the reality was that both had indeed imprisoned themselves within their own limits.
Su Chen was a God, after all.
Hearing this, Su Chen replied mildly:
"Being a Titled Douluo is merely the threshold for meeting me."
Xiao Gang roared with laughter. "Su Chen, you really have gone mad."
"Spouting all that nonsense."
Gangzi made no attempt to hide his mockery:
"If you're a Titled Douluo, then I'm a God."
Su Chen laughed coldly. "Funny you should say that. I really was a God before!"
Tang San froze instantly. "There are Gods on this continent?"
"A God, too???"
"You certainly dare to make outrageous boasts!"
Xiao Gang and Gangzi did not believe a word Su Chen said.
They stood there laughing at him madly.
After all, no God had appeared on the continent for a very long time.
Their younger self.
How could he possibly reach the pinnacle of Titled Douluo.
And also become a God at such a young age?
Su Chen could not help laughing at how the two had imprisoned themselves within their own limits.
Luo Sanpao had been utterly wasted following those two.
No wonder everyone liked mocking them as grandmasters.
Did they really think their theories were flawless?
They were merely theoretical grandmasters who deceived the world and stole their fame through plagiarism.
Su Chen then put away his smile.
He decided to teach them a lesson.
He slowly released his soul rings.
One black soul ring after another rose from beneath his feet.
In an instant.
The mockery in Xiao Gang's and Gangzi's eyes turned blank.
Then they became stunned and shocked!!!
Those bands of black brutally forced their way into their dog eyes, one after another.
When the eighth soul ring appeared in blood-red.
Xiao Gang's and Gangzi's tall bodies immediately bent partway over on the spot.
They cried out in unison:
"Your first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh soul rings are all black!!!"
"Impossible! This doesn't conform to our theories!!!"
Xiao Gang and Gangzi were so shocked they did not dare look away.
Because the eighth and ninth soul rings were actually the red of a hundred thousand years.
And a deep, deep red at that.
It meant those soul beasts' soul rings were at least a hundred and fifty thousand years old.
Tang San froze, too.
He had learned about soul masters' soul rings.
Ten-year rings were white.
Hundred-year rings were yellow.
Thousand-year rings were purple.
Those black soul rings were ten thousand years old.
Those red soul rings were a hundred thousand years old.
In an instant.
Tang San submitted completely to the young teacher Su Chen before him.
Because those were nine soul rings.
A genuine Titled Douluo.
And a Limit one at that.
Then.
Su Chen calmly asked the two dumbstruck grandmasters:
"Are you still going to mock me for defying convention?"
Su Chen's strength directly rendered the two grandmasters speechless.
They truly had never imagined their younger self possessed so much potential.
"Could our theories really be wrong?"
"Did we hold Luo Sanpao back with our mistaken theories?"
"He really is a Titled Douluo, and a Limit one at that."
Xiao Gang and Gangzi were so crushed that their souls seemed to have left their bodies.
Then greed and desire surged into their hearts:
"We must get our hands on the theory behind Su Chen becoming a Titled Douluo."
"We absolutely must get it."
Little did they know, Su Chen had no theory at all.
He relied on nothing but a ferocious will and the courage to defy all convention.
And none of those were things Yu Xiaogang could possess.
Tang San then knelt deeply before Su Chen and said:
"I'll leave all arrangements for my first soul ring to you, Teacher Su Chen."
Xiao Gang and Gangzi no longer dared act out either.
Su Chen gazed at the harmonious scene before him.
He shrugged helplessly and said:
"I still preferred that wild, defiant look you had just now."
"Cards on the table-I'm a Limit Douluo!"
