That's pretty good.
"What a strange title! Who is the author of this book?" Ning Rongrong said, standing up and looking at the author's name.
"This is the first time I've ever seen someone call themselves Grandmaster. They're really putting on airs. Is this book really as amazing as you say?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Jun Yi shook his head, then wagged his finger and said, "No, no, no, you misunderstood. What I meant by 'greatness' was the inclusiveness of the Douluo Continent towards theoretical knowledge."
"What's the meaning?"
"Most of the theories in this book are utter nonsense, but it was still published. Isn't that a kind of greatness?" Jun Yi said with a pious expression.
Upon hearing Jun Yi's words, Ning Rongrong gave him a look as if he were an idiot and said disdainfully, "Um, did you forget to take your medicine today?"
"You just don't understand the value of this book. It's already reached epic level. I'm going to take it to my advisor later to discuss it," Jun Yi said proudly.
"Whatever makes you happy. I'm going to read now, so I won't bother you any longer." Ning Rongrong said, picking up a book and starting to read with great interest.
Jun Yi then turned to the first page of the book, where the author wrote, "The theories in this book are the result of my painstaking efforts and extensive practical experience. Any similarities are purely coincidental and constitute plagiarism, which I will pursue to the fullest extent." The signature, " Grandmaster," was in the lower left corner.
"As expected of Grandmaster, even the author's message is so Haki." Jun Yi laughed wildly to himself.
Jun Yi then turned to the second page of the table of contents, which listed his ten core theories and detailed page numbers.
"The first point, that the size of Innate Soul Power is directly proportional to the strength of Martial Soul, I quite agree with that. But isn't that common sense? How did it become his theory?" Jun Yi muttered to himself.
"Secondly, there are no useless Martial Soul, only useless Soul Master. Holy crap, that's classic! I don't even know how Yu Xiaogang came up with such a theory. He himself has only half a level of Innate Soul Power, and after cultivating for so long, he's still just a Soul Elder who can't break through. Isn't that just insulting himself? He knows how to laugh at himself."
"Thirdly, Martial Soul are divided into two main categories: Beast Martial Soul and Tool Martial Soul. There are no other types of Martial Soul. Wait, is Yu Xiaogang really out of his mind? Has he really never seen Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul? The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul comes with an Angel Holy Sword; it doesn't belong to either of these two categories at all."
Jun Yi continued reading Yu Xiaogang's Ten Core Martial Soul Theory. Apart from some of the most basic Martial Soul knowledge that everyone knew, the other theories could be described as utter nonsense.
This book is filled with a lot of useless experimental theories used to prove the correctness of Yu Xiaogang's theory, but most of them are nonsense, and you can understand all the contents just by looking at the table of contents.
Jun Yi finished reading it in just one bathroom break. Afterward, he stroked the pages and thought to himself, "The paper in this book is quite soft; it would be great as toilet paper, especially the page with the signature, which is the softest and should be very comfortable."
Jun Yi then picked up this masterpiece and walked towards another section of the library dedicated to answering questions about cultivation, wanting to see how the teacher evaluated the book.
Jun Yi walked to the door and pushed it open. Inside, it was quite lively. Many students were exchanging cultivation experiences with each other, and several teachers were sitting in chairs, chatting with each student with kind eyes and answering their questions about cultivation.
Jun Yi approached a teacher, bowed, and said, "Hello, teacher."
The teacher carefully examined Jun Yi for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, a new face. Do you have any questions, student?"
"Um, I'm a freshman. What do you think of this book, teacher?"
After saying that, Jun Yi held up the book on the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul and handed it to his teacher.
"Oh?" The teacher took the book and began to read it carefully. After a long while, the teacher's expression changed noticeably, from a slight frown at the beginning to a deep furrow in his brows. Then he closed the book, as if he were searching for something.
He then muttered to himself, "How could a book like this appear in the Spirit Hall Academy's library? Did someone put it in the wrong place? But the book number on this page is definitely from the Spirit Hall Academy library. This is really strange."
The teacher looked up at Jun Yi and said, "Student, I suggest you stop reading this book. The theories presented here are nothing but fiction; some parts are even empty talk. I haven't found anything praiseworthy in this book. In fact, it's utterly a fallacy. The author even calls himself Grandmaster; he's truly disgraced."
After saying that, he handed the book to several other teachers, letting them take turns looking at it.
"What a sharp critique! No wonder he's a teacher at the Spirit Hall Academy. He speaks so eloquently. A commoner like me can only call him rubbish," Jun Yi thought to himself.
Soon after, the other teachers also began to evaluate the book.
"This book is not only poorly written, but the creator's skill level is also mediocre. I'm sure the author's Soul Power Level is no higher than that of Soul Emperor."
One of the teachers criticized it mercilessly.
"Not only that, this author is extremely narcissistic, actually claiming that these views are his own original creations? He packages some common sense and presents it as his own researched theories. Does anyone think they can write a book? I don't understand why this book was even published?"
The other teachers began offering their sharp critiques, when a middle-aged man who appeared older and had a dignified face spoke up, "Alright, all of you, shut up! The author of this book has a rather special background. I'll discuss it with you in detail later. Let's put the book back for now."
The middle-aged teacher picked up the book and handed it to Jun Yi, saying, "Student, just treat this book as a storybook and read it casually for fun. Don't believe the theories in it. After you're done reading, please put it back where it belongs, okay?"
"Okay, teacher, I understand." Jun Yi took the book and returned to the quiet reading area.
Meanwhile, the other teachers were still discussing the book, seemingly quite interested in it.
"What do you think? Who exactly is this 'Grandmaster '?" one of the teachers asked.
"I don't know, but there must be a deep connection, otherwise how could such an absurd book be placed in the library?" The teacher next to him shook his head and said.
The middle-aged Soul Master said to the other teachers, "Stop gossiping. This Grandmaster's true identity is Yu Xiaogang, the former young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Upon hearing this name, the other teachers Satori what was happening, and everything that had seemed absurd suddenly made sense...
