After the entire continent had witnessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's scandal, along with Yu Tiansheng's lion-like way with words.
Yu Xiaogang, one of the central figures, flew into a rage.
Of course, although everyone now knew that he and Erlong had nearly committed "incest," that clearly was not what angered Yu Xiaogang.
"That little bastard Yu Tiansheng! It's one thing for him to think he's trash, but he actually called me trash too!"
"And what does he mean, my theories are a pile of crap? How many books has he read?"
Recalling how the brothers Yu Tiansheng and Yu Tianming had used his book to prop up a table leg, Yu Xiaogang grew furious, then grew furious some more.
"If that brat doesn't kowtow and apologize when the time comes, he can forget about me teaching him how to resolve his martial soul's defect!"
"And that old fellow Yu Luomian! He still looks down on me after all!"
He had thought the Celestial Screen would reveal how he resolved the martial soul defect this time, only for it to begin by insulting him, a Master of Theory, inside and out, both openly and in veiled terms.
Yu Xiaogang drew a deep breath, trying to calm himself. After all, his worthy disciple Tang San would be coming over shortly, and he could not ruin his image.
Especially since his other disciple with twin martial souls would also be making a rare visit shortly. It would be terrible to leave a bad impression right from the start.
"So Teacher... has such a passionate nature?"
Meanwhile, on the field outside Dorm Seven, Tang San watched the Celestial Screen with the other students, astonishment written all over his face.
Incest-in Tang San's memory, that word had existed only in the unofficial histories and miscellaneous tales of the martial world from his previous life.
He certainly had not expected his teacher in this life to have such an experience.
"Still, it looks like Teacher didn't make a grave mistake."
"But Yu Tiansheng actually shows such disrespect for his elders, freely insulting them behind their backs. He truly has a way of courting death."
"What's more, Teacher will help him resolve his martial soul's defect in the future. That makes him an ungrateful wretch too."
Having made up his mind to properly teach Yu Tiansheng a lesson someday as his teacher's senior disciple, Tang San glanced at Dorm Seven's door again.
He had been wanting to have a proper talk with Ye Wuhen these past few days, but Ye Wuhen was simply too fast.
He usually arrived just as class began, then slipped off to who knew where the moment it ended. Sometimes he even skipped class, and he was nowhere to be seen at night either.
After obtaining his soul ring, Tang San had managed to keep up with Ye Wuhen after class using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, but the other boy disappeared after running into a grove.
Even when his teacher personally made inquiries, the only answer he received was that Ye Wuhen sometimes skipped class and stayed out all night because he wanted to cultivate using the woodland environment.
After all, he was also a genius with innate full soul power, so the school had granted him special privileges.
At the time, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had thought this was some special cultivation method, and Tang San had even specifically found time to try it, only for it to prove utterly useless.
It was only during class yesterday that Tang San had ignored the teacher outright and forcibly blocked Ye Wuhen's way, arranging for him to meet Grandmaster today.
Yet even when the Celestial Screen began today, he still had not returned to the dormitory.
Was I tricked?
He truly has a way of courting death!
["Uncle Yu Luomian left just like that?"]
[The brothers returned to the living room. Looking at the shattered teacup stained with blood on the floor, Yu Tiansheng looked somewhat surprised.]
["...You did that on purpose."]
[Looking at the smile on Yu Tiansheng's face, Yu Tianming still remained silent for a long while before speaking.]
["Of course! Did you really want your little brother to get sucked dry by an old woman?!"]
["All right. I'll think of a way to get you cultivation resources later."]
["...Thank you, big brother." This time, Yu Tiansheng fell silent.]
["What are you thanking me for? We're brothers, aren't we? In this world, we're each other's closest family."]
["Since you want to give it a try, I'll naturally help you as your older brother."]
[A gentle smile appeared on Yu Tianming's stern face, and he reached out to ruffle Yu Tiansheng's black-and-white hair.]
["Actually, I'm not sure whether Golden Tangerine can really do it either." Yu Tiansheng summoned his martial soul, cradling a little golden-yellow dog in his arms, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.]
["Golden Tangerine isn't quite like ordinary beast martial souls. He and I can't perform Martial Soul Possession, but he has clear Wisdom. That's completely different from other beast martial souls."]
[He reached out and rubbed the chin of the little dog named Golden Tangerine, who immediately made happy little "woo, woo, woo" sounds. Feeling those emotions that only a Wisdom-bearing creature could possess, Yu Tiansheng's deep black eyes brightened.]
["If my guess is right, then Golden Tangerine isn't a trash martial soul at all. It's just that no one has found the right direction for developing him."]
["At least he won't be like Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao, who can only fart. Besides, my Golden Tangerine is much cuter than that pig... hmm?"]
[He did not know whether it was an illusion, but Yu Tiansheng seemed to have just seen a flash of blue light deep in Golden Tangerine's adorably dopey eyes.]
["I'll do my best to help you with what you want to do, but for now, clean up the room yourself."]
[Expressionlessly delivering a knife-hand chop to his younger brother's head, Yu Tianming turned and left the room.]
["I'm going to cultivate. I probably won't be back tonight, so get some proper rest yourself."]
["Got it~" Yu Tiansheng answered helplessly, then, as though prompted by ghosts and spirits, counted the teacup fragments on the floor.]
[Nine big pieces? Uncle Yu Luomian smashed it quite evenly.]
[...]
[As soon as Yu Tianming stepped out the door, he saw Yu Luomian speaking to a clansman not far away with a grave expression.]
["...Looks like Uncle Yu Luomian is holding up pretty well."]
[Still, I'd better not provoke the old man right now.]
[Yu Tianming was just about to go around them.]
["Tianming, come here a moment."]
[Yu Luomian did not call out to Yu Tianming aloud again, instead abruptly using Soul Power Transmission to alert him.]
["Looks like Uncle Yu Luomian doesn't want to see Tiansheng again anytime soon."]
[Recalling Yu Tiansheng's blunt words, Yu Tianming's lips twitched, and he instantly understood the reason for Yu Luomian's actions.]
["Tianming! You and Tiansheng mustn't leave the clan grounds for the time being. Stay put at home!"]
[Yu Luomian looked solemn. Although his face was still somewhat flushed, the seriousness of his words was clear.]
["Uncle Luomian, what happened?"]
["Ah..." Yu Luomian let out a long sigh and slowly explained:]
["According to our intelligence, a group of sea soul masters is roaming the continent, continually hunting down its geniuses. Many talented soul masters have already lost their lives as a result."]
["Apparently, the first person attacked was the disciple of Bibi Dong, the current Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall!"]
