"Are you really the Group Leader?"
Liu Erlong rushed into Dorm Seven, her gaze landing on Link, and soon dug out her scant memories of him from an obscure corner of her mind.
High-level Soul Masters were not only powerful; their brains actually worked quite well, too.
At least when it came to memory, they were hardly senile.
To put it plainly, every increase in a Soul Master's level was another evolution of the individual.
After all, the ultimate goal of a Soul Master's advancement was to become a god.
Gods had already transcended the bounds of ordinary people.
But in the Douluo World, the increase in intelligence was truly limited.
"I am!"
Link looked at Liu Erlong expressionlessly.
Of all the beauties in Douluo I, Liu Erlong was the one Link thought the least of.
Even though this was a continent of romance, some romances could only be called excessively twisted!
Liu Erlong's, for instance!
"You must have a way to help me, right?"
"..."
Sure enough, when it came to disappointing people, Liu Erlong never disappointed.
Although Link had guessed that Liu Erlong might have come for Yu Xiaogang, hearing her actually ask such a question still left him thoroughly displeased.
Tang Yuehua, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong all looked at Link, wanting to know how he would answer.
Looking at the anxious Liu Erlong, Link tilted his head slightly and said, "I'm honestly very curious. What exactly is so attractive about Yu Xiaogang?"
"Is he exceptionally handsome? Or is he incredibly powerful?"
"Surely it can't be that he's ugly and that happens to suit your tastes!"
"Xiaogang is very talented. You just don't understand him!"
Naturally, Liu Erlong could not stand others looking down on Yu Xiaogang. After that explanation, she threatened Link. "Even if you're the Group Leader, if you dare sling mud at Xiaogang, I won't let you off!"
"Me, slinging mud?"
Link was genuinely amused.
"Tang Yuehua, you tell us. Is Yu Xiaogang really talented?"
Struck by an idea, Link simply tossed the question to Tang Yuehua.
Tang Yuehua had not expected to become the spectacle when she had only been watching one.
How was she supposed to answer that question?
She could not bring herself to go against her conscience and call Yu Xiaogang talented, and doing so would also offend Link, the Group Leader of the Chat Group!
Once she was kicked out of the Chat Group, everything she had gained from it would disappear, and she would once again become that useless person who could not cultivate!
Yu Xiaogang had said that there were no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters.
She had exhausted every ounce of her strength, yet had never managed to break through to Soul Power level ten. Was she useless, or was her Martial Soul useless?
The answer could not have been more obvious!
"Liu Erlong, although you might not agree with this answer, I still have to say it. Yu Xiaogang is nothing but a useless attention-seeker!"
"I admit that he's done some research into Martial Soul Theory, but while ordinary people might put great stock in his Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, any Soul Master family with even a little heritage knows all of that!"
In the end, Tang Yuehua decided that she would rather offend Liu Erlong than Link.
Liu Erlong was currently only a Visitor in the Chat Group and could not use its Sign-In function, but Tang Yuehua knew just how miraculous that function was.
"Tang Yuehua, you're clearly just jealous!"
"You're retaliating against him!"
"Just because Xiaogang said there were no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters!"
"You haven't been able to become a Soul Master all these years. You're useless yourself, so naturally you want to deny Xiaogang's theory!"
Liu Erlong continued defending Yu Xiaogang.
"Fine, I'm useless!"
Tang Yuehua did not argue. Looking at Liu Erlong, she said, "Then can you tell me why Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power Level is stuck at twenty-nine?"
"His Martial Soul underwent a malignant mutation. Who on the entire continent doesn't know that?"
Liu Erlong scoffed aloud.
Tang Yuehua sneered and asked another question. "You, Yu Xiaogang, and a man named Flender are known as the Golden Iron Triangle and can perform a three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill. I'm not wrong, am I?"
"That's right!"
"Usually, the leading role in a Martial Soul Fusion Skill belongs to the Martial Soul of relatively higher quality!"
"The most obvious example is the Star Luo Empire's Hell White Tiger combination!"
"Then how do you explain why Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul ultimately takes the lead in your three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
"Isn't that a contradiction?"
Tang Yuehua's questions left Liu Erlong unable to explain.
Martial Soul Fusion Skills had always been led by high-quality Martial Souls.
But if that was always the case, then when their Golden Iron Triangle performed the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Golden Sacred Dragon they ultimately summoned should have been led by her fire dragon.
Yet the fact was that Luo Sanpao took the lead!
"Nothing to say, have you?"
Tang Yuehua gave a soft snort. "So Yu Xiaogang was actually right. There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. But that only applies to him!"
"His own strength is too weak to support his Martial Soul Evolution!"
"The fact that the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill can summon the Golden Sacred Dragon shows that Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul is actually of extremely high quality, but he himself has held back its development."
Heavenly Emperor Haotian's people had done no small amount of research and analysis into Yu Xiaogang's situation behind the scenes.
However, they had not told the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan any of their conclusions.
Although they both belonged to the Upper Three Sects, there was competition between them as well. An overly powerful Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was hardly good for the Clear Sky Sect's interests.
Thus, with Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul crippled, who knew how many people across the continent were secretly pleased.
"Impressive!"
Even Link could not help giving Tang Yuehua a thumbs-up. This woman truly had brains; she had struck straight at the heart of the matter with ease.
Liu Erlong's lips moved, but her gaze ultimately settled on Link.
"Group Leader, what would it take for you to help Xiaogang?"
"You must have a way to solve his Martial Soul problem, right?"
Liu Erlong decided not to argue with Tang Yuehua anymore. She only wanted to help Yu Xiaogang.
"As long as it helps Xiaogang, I'll agree to anything you ask me to do!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"Very good. Then go to Sea God Island and invite the Sea God High Priestess, Bo Saixi, to come here!"
"As long as you can bring her here, I'll solve Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul problem for you!"
Link calmly stated his terms.
Liu Erlong was dumbfounded.
Tang Yuehua was dumbfounded too!
Invite the Sea God High Priestess, Bo Saixi, here?
That was Bo Saixi, reputed to be invincible at sea. As the Sea God High Priestess, she would never leave Sea God Island unless necessary.
Liu Erlong was supposed to invite her?
This was plainly an impossible task!
"You're toying with me!"
Liu Erlong glared at Link, unleashing the full force of her aura as a Soul Saint above level seventy.
"Get lost!"
Golden light flashed over Link's body as his fist slammed into Liu Erlong's lower abdomen, sending her flying.
Boom!
A huge hole was smashed through Dorm Seven's wall, and Liu Erlong vanished from everyone's sight.
Sure enough, it still took force to solve the problem!
