The Hypocritical Yu Xiaogang

In the end, he had organized all that plagiarized knowledge and cobbled together something he called the theory of the ten core competencies.

Any soul master clan with even a bit of foundation would consider these theories garbage.

Most of the theories contradicted themselves from front to back, clashed with each other, and made no sense at all. He was simply someone who had the chance to plagiarize knowledge from Spirit Hall, the place with the most comprehensive soul master knowledge on the entire continent.

He had taken theoretical knowledge he could never have comprehended on his own, and which did not belong to what he could have researched by himself, then made up something with most of its theories wrong, swindling people across the continent and misleading the young.

It could be said that Yu Xiaogang's so-called achievements as a master today were all given by Spirit Hall, all given by Bibi Dong.

After using Bibi Dong to plagiarize a great deal of knowledge and gain status and position, because Qian Xunji did not agree to Bibi Dong being with him,

probably because he was afraid Qian Xunji would kill him, Yu Xiaogang abandoned Bibi Dong, then turned around and got together with his own cousin Liu Erlong.

While Bibi Dong was in Qian Xunji's secret chamber, enduring days of pain and torment left behind after being humiliated, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, that shameless pair of dogs, were off there being all lovey-dovey.

Later, he even had the nerve to use Spirit Hall's Elder Token, and even ran off to ask Bibi Dong for the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls, then taught Tang San, the son of Spirit Hall's enemy?

Truly shameless, disgusting! Trash!

"Master, please take me as your disciple!"

At this moment, that student was already kneeling on both knees, very sincerely wanting to become his disciple, and he handed his own student information form to Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang felt a small bit of delight inside.

Although he had a slight reputation in the soul master world and bore the so-called title of master, in truth, many people looked down on him. Even in Nuoding Academy, some work-study students were looked down on by others.

So Yu Xiaogang was rather pleasantly surprised that someone would actually want to take him as a teacher. With anticipation, he glanced at this student's information.

Martial soul, Chrysanthemum Leaf Flower. It was also a relatively useless martial soul, basically the kind of flowers and plants that could be seen in city landscaping, a martial soul on the same level as Blue Silver Grass.

Soul power, half a rank?

Isn't this trash just like me? And his martial soul is so garbage. If I take him in, how could I possibly train him up? When the time comes, it will only make the world laugh at me even more! Laugh at my theories even more.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, already utterly disgusted inside, but in his words and actions, he still wore a sanctimonious expression. "Sorry, student. I do not take disciples. You should find someone else."

"I'm only a work-study student from the countryside, and my soul power is only half a rank. The teachers in the academy won't take me as a disciple. Master, we're both people with half a rank of Innate Soul Power. Please take me as your disciple!"

Hearing that this student had come to him only because no one else wanted him, and had even deliberately mentioned his own half-rank Innate Soul Power, Yu Xiaogang's face instantly darkened. Half-rank soul power was the pain of his entire life!

Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat displeased inside, and his tone became a little less polite. "I said it! I do not take disciples!"

"Master."

The student did not want to give up so easily, because for someone at the very bottom like him, the teachers in the academy would not pay much attention to him. When it came time to absorb a soul ring, they would casually find him a ten-year soul ring and brush him off.

But if he could find someone to become his teacher and receive one-on-one guidance, that would be different. If he got lucky, he might start with a hundred-year soul ring; at worst, he could still get one of several dozen years!

Several dozen years was still better than ten years!

Just then, Chu Ye's voice sounded from behind the two of them.

"Heh, half a rank matching half a rank is actually quite suitable! But, well, he won't take you as his disciple."

The two of them looked over, gazing at Chu Ye as he slowly walked toward them.

"Wh-why are you so sure?" the student asked in confusion.

"Does that even need to be said? Because you can't create even the slightest bit of value or benefit for him to exploit. He doesn't have the ability to train you well."

"If he took you in, not only would it fail to prove the only theory he can take pride in, it would also make his theory look even more like a failure and a pile of garbage. Am I right? Great Master Yu." Chu Ye showed no mercy and exposed Yu Xiaogang's true inner thoughts.

Having his true thoughts exposed made Yu Xiaogang's expression extremely ugly. Naturally, he would not admit it. He said in a low voice, "Where did this wet-behind-the-ears brat come from? I did not take him in because I do not accept disciples, not because his talent is insufficient!"

Chu Ye laughed. "Haha, if you look down on him, then you look down on him. You insist on saying you don't take disciples. What's so hard to admit? You really are so hypocritical!"

"At such a young age, you already speak without restraint and spout nonsense, and you even say my theory is a failure. What could someone your age possibly understand!" Rage flared in Yu Xiaogang's heart.

It was one thing for those powerful soul masters to look down on him and say his theories were garbage; after all, he could not afford to offend them. But to be looked down on like this by a little child, to be treated as if he were nothing—Yu Xiaogang truly found it hard to endure.

No matter how useless he was, he was still someone who cared extremely about face.

How much soul master theoretical knowledge could someone so young possibly understand?

He shouted angrily, "If you cannot point out what is wrong with my theory, then today, I will teach you a proper lesson on behalf of your parents!"

"Yo, when I said you were hypocritical and said your theory was garbage, I was just telling the truth. You're unhappy, so now you want to hit someone?" Chu Ye was disgusted beyond belief. It was clearly because his words had made Yu Xiaogang lose face that Yu Xiaogang wanted to attack, yet he insisted on finding such a sanctimonious reason.

It just so happened that if he did not properly beat up this hypocritical, disgusting scumbag today, Chu Ye would feel awful too. He sneered, "Then go ahead and make your move. Let's see if you can beat me."

The argument here had already drawn quite a few Nuoding Academy students coming and going, as well as several teachers, who gathered around to watch.

If he did not properly teach the boy before him a lesson today, Yu Xiaogang would not be able to hold his head up in Nuoding Academy in the future.

"Looks like you can't point out what is wrong with my theory. Then you must pay the price for your false words and actions. Now, I will properly discipline you on behalf of your guardian!"

After all, Yu Xiaogang was already a man in his forties. Hitting an eight-year-old child was also something that damaged his dignity and status, so he had to find a reason about disciplining him on behalf of his guardian.

How powerful could an eight-year-old child be? No matter how useless he was, he was still a rank 29 Soul Grandmaster!

Yu Xiaogang rushed straight over and raised his arm, wanting to slap Chu Ye across the mouth.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ye dodged Yu Xiaogang's palm with incomparable agility, then backhanded him with a vicious slap to the face!

"Fuck your mother!" Chu Ye gave Yu Xiaogang a brutal slap across the mouth.

With an extremely loud smack, Yu Xiaogang let out a miserable scream.

"Ahhhhh~!"

Chu Ye sent Yu Xiaogang flying several meters with one slap, knocking him flat to the ground with a single blow.
