"I actually... got hit by this brat!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes went wide, and he felt the burning, reddened cheek in disbelief.
He could not believe that he had actually been slapped to the ground by an eight-year-old child.
Looking at the surrounding students and teachers, at their mocking gazes and words, Yu Xiaogang felt he had lost all face.
It dealt a fierce blow and humiliation to Yu Xiaogang's pride. He could no longer maintain that sanctimonious façade, and his expression turned somewhat ferocious. He was starting to break down.
He was going to use his martial soul against Chu Ye!
"Luo San—"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be in such a hurry, Luo." Chu Ye spoke up and interrupted Yu Xiaogang's movement, then continued with great disdain, "Among your ten theories, there's one about the maximum age of spirit rings a Spirit Master can absorb, right?"
Yu Xiaogang froze and did not rush to attack. He wanted to hear what Chu Ye would say next, and said with a dark face, "That's right! The maximum age a Spirit Master can absorb for the first ring is 423 years, and the second ring is 764 years! No Spirit Master could possibly exceed that age limit!"
Looking at Yu Xiaogang's foolish, blindly arrogant face, Chu Ye shook his head speechlessly. "That confident, huh? Then what is this?"
He directly released his first spirit ring, using it to overturn Yu Xiaogang's theory.
A purple spirit ring appeared beneath Chu Ye's feet, incomparably dazzling.
"A Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!"
"Th-this, how... how is that possible!" Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded. He had never imagined that the firm words he had just spoken would be instantly slapped in the face.
The surrounding onlookers also cried out in shock and amazement.
Chu Ye's first ring was like ironclad proof, slapping Yu Xiaogang hard across the face, overturning this theory of his and going beyond his understanding. For the first time, the theory he took pride in suffered the most direct blow.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Yu Xiaogang refused to believe it and could not understand how Chu Ye had done it!
Looking at Yu Xiaogang's expression of disbelief, full of ignorance and confusion, Chu Ye shook his head in extreme disgust. "With your level, of course you wouldn't know that there are multiple ways to raise the absorption limit of spirit rings, right? And you call yourself theoretically invincible, a master? Can't figure it out, can you?"
"I, I!"
Yu Xiaogang was rendered speechless, unable to force out a single sentence.
Everyone's physique was different, so the limits they could absorb were also different. The stronger the body, the higher the limit it could withstand.
That meant one could increase bodily strength to raise the absorption limit of spirit rings. There was no such thing as an accurate, fixed conclusion.
The strength of the martial soul, as well as the enhancement from spirit bones, could actually both raise the age of spirit rings one could absorb.
But Yu Xiaogang could not figure these things out, because the vast majority of his Spirit Master knowledge had been stolen. He himself did not possess that theoretical height or talent. If it was not in the knowledge he had stolen, he could not answer.
Yu Xiaogang, who bore the name of a theoretically invincible master, was now stammering "I, I" for ages without being able to say anything. Yu Xiaogang was panicking inside. If he could not give a proper explanation, he would become a joke! Like a clown.
"Stop with the 'I, I, I.' Among all your theories, the one you promote the most is that there are no useless martial souls, only useless Spirit Masters who don't know how to cultivate, right?"
"But you yourself have already proven that this theory of yours is wrong. Isn't your mutated martial soul Luo Sanpao a useless martial soul?"
"As a theoretically invincible master, you should be very good at cultivation, right? But what damned state has your martial soul Luo Sanpao cultivated into? A martial soul that only farts to stink people out, with no killing power to speak of and only able to use three skills—if that isn't trash, then what is?"
"Among Spirit Masters of the same level, who can you beat?"
"With the same spirit ring configuration and the same level, compared with those top martial souls on the continent, don't you have any damned idea how big the gap in strength is between your Luo Sanpao and them? Isn't this exactly the embodiment of a useless martial soul!"
Every word Chu Ye spoke stabbed into Yu Xiaogang's heart like needles, making him feel unbearably miserable inside.
"All things in the world have good and bad, strong and weak. Among a group of martial souls, if huge differences appear under the same conditions, then the few martial souls at the very bottom are trash! This theory of yours is trash too!"
"You! You!" Yu Xiaogang pointed at Chu Ye in a flustered rage, but he was uselessly unable to say a word. He was furious inside and also felt utterly humiliated.
Without question, he had already become a laughingstock in the eyes of the surrounding crowd. He had lost all face, and his theories would surely suffer even more ridicule and doubt from people in the future.
Yu Xiaogang also could not understand why this child before him knew him so well!
"Heh, I admit some of your theories do have a bit of real substance, but did you really research these theories yourself? You copied them from somewhere, didn't you? Great Master Yu!" Chu Ye deliberately raised his voice.
"What! Yu Xiaogang's theories were all plagiarized?"
"So his theories weren't researched by himself! No wonder there are so many loopholes in many of them. What this child said might really be true!"
"Shut up! You shut up!!" Yu Xiaogang panicked, and his mentality completely collapsed as he roared madly.
Public opinion was extremely terrifying. On top of that, he himself was already looked down on and subjected to too much doubt. Although there were quite a few errors and loopholes in his theories, they would not cause too great an impact on his status.
After all, among the theories he had published, there was still quite a bit of real substance.
But if the world learned that his theories had not been researched by himself but copied, if Chu Ye was allowed to keep talking, he might very well be utterly ruined today!
The theories that were the only thing supporting his dignity would also be shattered, and he would completely become a laughingstock!
"First Spirit Ability, Fart Like Thunder, Rending the Heavens and Splitting the Earth, Luo Sanpao!!" Yu Xiaogang's face was ferocious as he released his spirit ability.
His desperate attempt to make Chu Ye shut up was like someone whose heart had been struck and who was doing everything he could to cover up the truth.
This made the surrounding onlookers, who were still half-believing and half-doubting, seem to become even more convinced that what Chu Ye said was true.
"Heh." Chu Ye sneered.
Yu Xiaogang's spirit ability attack method mainly used farts to create an impact. Its killing power was very low; it could be said to be utterly useless, and the release process was also rather slow.
"You still want to stink me out with a fart!"
Chu Ye naturally would not give him this chance. It was not that he was afraid he could not beat him, mainly that he was afraid it would stink and he would get hit by the smell.
"Get lost!!"
Boom!
Chu Ye directly released the Sword of Gods and Demons, carrying sword intent with it, and before Yu Xiaogang could release his First Spirit Ability, he struck Luo Sanpao with one sword.
Luo Sanpao was blasted flying by the sword, and Yu Xiaogang also fell to the ground.
"If I don't give you a proper beating today, I'll really be letting down my identity as a transmigrator!" Chu Ye put away the Sword of Gods and Demons, rolled up his sleeves, and slapped Yu Xiaogang viciously across the face.
Smack!
"Aaah!"
Pfft!
With that slap, Yu Xiaogang screamed and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
