"Phew!"
"Thank goodness Mom didn't leave with Qian Xunji. Otherwise, Dad definitely wouldn't have been able to take seeing this."
Watching the scene, Tang San let out a heavy sigh of relief inwardly.
In the scene, Qian Xunji climbed into the carriage. Just before entering, he could not help looking back at the girl. Seeing her still standing where she was, disappointment showed plainly on his face.
Then the youth lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.
With a light leap, Yue Guan jumped onto the carriage. Gui Mei flicked the whip, and the carriage wheels creaked as they rolled out of the town.
Only then did the girl raise her head, her face already covered in tear tracks.
Watching the carriage grow farther and farther away, the girl finally could not help stepping forward to chase after it. As she watched the departing carriage, her face was full of reluctance to part.
Her heart was filled with pain and sorrow!
Outside, Tang Hao watched the tear-streaked Ah Yin and clenched his fists in fury. His nails pierced his flesh, and blood seeped between his fingers.
That bastard Qian Xunji actually dared to make his beloved Ah Yin cry so sorrowfully!
He had simply brought death upon himself!
Spirit City.
"Third Brother, I really want to cry! Why didn't she leave with Qian Xunji?"
"She clearly liked Qian Xunji so much too!"
Xiao Wu spoke with reddened eyes, deeply moved.
Tang San clenched his fists tightly. Hearing Xiao Wu's words, he forced a smile onto his face.
"Because they weren't right for each other!"
"Xiao Wu, that boy absolutely won't leave with Qian Xunji, and absolutely won't end up with Qian Xunji."
"Third Brother, how can you be so sure?"
"Because she was only deceived by Qian Xunji at this point. She hadn't seen his true colors. Once she sees his true colors, there's absolutely no way she'll be with him."
Tang San spoke in a restrained voice, while inwardly thinking something else.
Because she's my mother, and my father is Tang Hao. They're the ones who will end up together.
On the sky screen, the scene shifted. Back in Spirit City, Qian Xunji began cultivating diligently every day, practically forgetting food and sleep.
Everyone across the continent who saw this scene was astonished by Qian Xunji's diligence.
Although Soul Masters relied on extensive meditation to increase their Soul Power, that was for commoner Soul Masters who lacked cultivation resources. Qian Xunji was Spirit Hall's young master.
What cultivation resources could he possibly want for? There was no need for him to cultivate so diligently.
Yet in the scene, Qian Xunji spent nearly every moment outside meals and rest cultivating each day. He also pored over all sorts of ancient texts, studying every kind of knowledge about Martial Souls.
Outside.
"I certainly didn't expect Qian Xunji to study Martial Soul knowledge as well. What a pity, though. His efforts were most likely fruitless. My Martial Soul Theory is the most complete and advanced."
Yu Xiaogang spoke smugly.
The others were also voicing their feelings.
"No wonder Qian Xunji became the youngest Titled Douluo. He was already a genius, yet he cultivated so diligently!"
"Hmph! Qian Xunji was a genius, sure, but there were geniuses even more talented than him. Wasn't he only able to become the continent's youngest Titled Douluo because he was Spirit Hall's young master?"
"He had nothing but top-tier cultivation resources. With those resources, even I could be piled up into a Titled Douluo."
Hearing someone praise Qian Xunji, someone immediately spoke up to refute it.
At that moment, on the sky screen, Qian Xunji was bent over a desk, writing something.
Immediately afterward, the scene shifted to a great hall.
Qian Daoliu held several manuscripts and read them carefully. After finishing them, he looked again at the youth before him, unable to conceal the shock on his face.
"Xun'er, did you write all of these?"
"Yes, Father!"
The youth nodded.
"Hahaha!"
"Excellent, Xun'er, you're a genius, and even more of a master of Martial Soul Theory!"
"Although the texts in our Spirit Hall are as numerous as the hairs on an ox, they're all scattered records. Now that you've written this Martial Soul Limit Absorption Table and General Outline of Martial Soul Mimicry, our Spirit Hall has taken another great step forward in Martial Soul research!"
Hearing Qian Daoliu's words on the sky screen, Tang San instinctively looked at Yu Xiaogang beside him.
The Martial Soul Limit Absorption Table and General Outline of Martial Soul Mimicry-weren't those both Teacher's theories?
Panic also appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face at that moment. No one knew better than he did where those theories of his had come from!
Those two works of Martial Soul Theory had actually been written by Qian Xunji?
At that moment, beyond his disbelief, Yu Xiaogang's heart was filled with incomparable jealousy.
Why? Why had those two books been written by Qian Xunji!
Seeing this scene, the students who had come out of Shrek also recalled Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, who relied on his Martial Soul Theory.
"No way. Those two books were actually written by Qian Xunji? Weren't those Teacher Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul theories?"
"If those two books were written by Qian Xunji, doesn't that mean Teacher Yu Xiaogang plagiarized Qian Xunji's theoretical achievements?"
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang, whose expression was utterly ghastly.
"Teacher, you..."
"Xiao San, you have to believe me. I absolutely compiled my Martial Soul Theory myself. It was this-this Qian Xunji who plagiarized my theoretical achievements."
Before Tang San could finish, Yu Xiaogang rushed to interrupt him and argue.
"Teacher, I believe you."
Looking at Yu Xiaogang's state, Tang San hesitated for a moment before saying those words anyway.
He dared not imagine whether Yu Xiaogang, who looked down on all rivals through his Martial Soul Theory, would go mad if he said he did not believe him.
"This Qian Xunji merely read a few of Spirit Hall's texts and drew conclusions from them. I've read plenty of texts too. Of course I could draw those conclusions as well."
"Yes, I compiled all of those. They're all my theoretical achievements!"
Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, as though he had already become possessed!
On the sky screen, Qian Xunji's voice rang out.
"Father, I want to give these two theoretical works to the Soul Masters of the entire Douluo Continent, to help them better find their own cultivation paths and help those commoner Soul Masters avoid some detours!"
Seated in his chair, Qian Daoliu froze upon hearing this, then asked in surprise.
"Xun'er, do you know how important the theories in these two manuscripts are?"
"Are you willing to spread them just like that and let everyone know?"
Hearing this, Qian Xunji smiled freely.
"Father, you know my ideal is to let all Soul Masters and commoners live happy, peaceful lives. If these two great theories can raise the strength of all the continent's Soul Masters by a level..."
"Wouldn't that benefit the continent more? Even if a danger threatening the continent's safety appears in the future, our continent will have a greater chance of victory."
After hearing Qian Xunji's words, Qian Daoliu could not help laughing heartily.
"Hahaha!"
"Excellent, Xun'er. You have lofty ambitions. Of course I'll support you!"
"I'll have people transcribe them and strive to ensure that every subordinate hall and branch hall of Spirit Hall has these two theoretical books available for people to borrow!"
"Thank you, Father!"
At that moment, outside.
"I truly never expected that, beyond his exceptional cultivation talent, Qian Xunji would also have such attainments in researching Martial Soul Theory. Most importantly, he even wanted to teach these two theories to all the continent's Soul Masters. Now that was truly a Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall worthy of the continent's respect!"
"At this point, Qian Xunji had lofty ambitions and was kind and pure. But why did he ultimately become a madman who wanted to unify the continent and spark a war?"
As Yu Xiaogang watched the sky screen, his expression had already become savage.
"Damn it! You should have kept theories like these safely hidden! Why should you teach them to those fools!"
"Only people who truly understand theories like these deserve to possess them!"
Listening to Yu Xiaogang's low growls beside him, Tang San suddenly felt a little more estranged from this teacher.
Why did Teacher look so much like a clown right now!
