"Who knows? Maybe Gangzi was just too good at pulling the wool over people's eyes," Jiang Yan said with a laugh.
"Pulling the wool over people's eyes? What do you mean?" Ye Guyi asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Well, you'll have to ask your ancestor about that." Jiang Yan looked at Qian Renxue.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Ye Guyi also looked at Qian Renxue, her eyes full of confusion.
This sudden turn left Qian Renxue somewhat at a loss.
"Your ancestor was taken in by Gangzi too. She thought Gangzi was worth an entire army of Soul Masters," Jiang Yan said.
Qian Renxue countered, "Wasn't he?"
"Wasn't it precisely because of Grandmaster's guidance that the Shrek Seven Devils achieved what they did later?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan could barely keep a straight face. "Do you really think Gangzi's theories were his own?"
"What do you mean?" Qian Renxue didn't understand.
"Gangzi's Soul Power has been stuck at rank twenty-nine for so many years. If his theories were really that amazing, he would have broken through to rank thirty long ago. Why would he still be waiting now?" Jiang Yan explained.
"So Gangzi stole all his theories. How could a mere Soul Grandmaster like him know so much?"
Although Ye Guyi hadn't understood what they had said earlier, she understood that sentence.
"Wait, Tang San's teacher only had rank twenty-nine Soul Power? Could someone with that level of Soul Power even be a teacher?" Ye Guyi asked.
"In my era, that level of Soul Power was no different from trash," Leng Yaozhu added.
Yu Xiaogang was immediately displeased when he heard Leng Yaozhu's remark!
[Yu Xiaogang: What's wrong with my Soul Power? I'd be trash in your era? What, is everyone in your era a Titled Douluo? I think you're the one who looks like trash!]
Just then, the Sky Screen Livestream Room issued a new notification.
[Sky Screen Livestream Room: This livestream room has merged with the Peerless Era ten thousand years in the future and the Dragon King Era twenty thousand years in the future. Soul Masters, please interact amicably here.] [Yu Xiaogang: ?] [Yu Xiaogang: So people ten thousand and twenty thousand years in the future can see what I say?] [Qiangu Dongfeng: ?] [Qiangu Dongfeng: Yu Xiaogang, what do you mean by that? You're only rank twenty-nine. What are you running your mouth for?] [Yu Xiaogang: And who are you?] [Qiangu Dongfeng: Master of the Spirit Pagoda, a Level 99 Limit Douluo!]
As Leng Yaozhu's number one simp, Qiangu Dongfeng had entered only to see Yu Xiaogang-a piece of trash who had broken past fifty years of age with his Soul Power still at rank twenty-nine-insulting his goddess. How could he put up with that?
[Yu Xiaogang: I'm rank ninety-nine too! Wisdom Douluo Yu Xiaogang!] [Qiangu Dongfeng: If you're rank ninety-nine, I'll write my name backward!] [Yu Xiaogang: I *******!]
In the livestream room, Yu Xiaogang struck first, opening straight up with the family tree, his mouth full of inquiries about the other man's parents.
While Qiangu Dongfeng was momentarily stunned, someone else couldn't hold back.
[Qiangu Dongfeng: ?] [Qiangu Dieting: I **********]
Soon, Yu Xiaogang and Qiangu Dieting were thoroughly embroiled in a cursing match on the Sky Screen.
The spectators in the livestream room could barely keep straight faces.
One was a founder of Shrek Academy and the teacher of Sea God Tang San.
The other was a former master of the Spirit Pagoda and a Limit Douluo, yet here they were, hurling abuse at each other in the Sky Screen Livestream Room.
Naturally, the Sky Screen Livestream Room wasn't going to indulge either of them.
[Sky Screen Livestream Room: Yu Xiaogang and Qiangu Dieting have been muted for ten minutes.] [Ning Rongrong: The Sky Screen can mute people too?] [Xu Xiaoyan: Finally, some peace and quiet.]
Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen, Qian Renxue still found it somewhat hard to believe despite Jiang Yan's explanation.
"What about the Shrek Seven Devils, then? They progressed so quickly. Wasn't that because Yu Xiaogang taught them?"
"Oh, that? That was entirely thanks to the immortal herbs," Jiang Yan said.
"Immortal herbs? What immortal herbs?" Qian Renxue was somewhat puzzled.
"The immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Aromatic Silk Beauty, and so on. Without those immortal herbs, never mind trying to put themselves on the same level as the Spirit Hall Golden Generation at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament-the Shrek Seven Devils couldn't even have beaten Skywater Academy or Godwind Academy," Jiang Yan said.
At those words, the Shrek Seven Devils in the Sky Screen Livestream Room all voiced their disagreement.
[Ning Rongrong: What do you mean, without immortal herbs, we wouldn't even measure up to Godwind Academy and Skywater Academy? Wouldn't beating them be a piece of cake for us?] [Ma Hongjun: Exactly! What kind of trash are those two academies?] [Feng Xiaotian: What do you mean by that?] [Huo Wu: Why wasn't our Blazing Fire Academy mentioned?]
In the Modern Era, hearing these unfamiliar terms, Qian Renxue asked in confusion.
"Then where did Tang San find this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Why have I never heard that name before?"
"You couldn't really say he found it. Dugu Bo took Tang San there. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was originally Dugu Bo's medicinal garden, but Tang San not only stripped the garden bare, he didn't even give Dugu Yan a single good immortal herb to consume."
"Ten thousand years later, it was even said that he had discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well himself."
"And twenty thousand years later, it got even more outrageous. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well outright became the Tang Sect's property."
"Basically, Dugu Bo ended up a complete clown," Jiang Yan said.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo felt as though the sky had collapsed.
"Little Monster wouldn't screw me over, would he? Tang San is my brother!"
Clinging to one last shred of hope, Dugu Bo asked in the Sky Screen Livestream Room.
[Dugu Bo: Does the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well really belong to the Tang Sect twenty thousand years in the future?] [Qiangu Dongfeng: Of course. Who doesn't know the Tang Sect has a treasured land? How many Limit Douluos have they raised using that treasured land?] [Zang Xin: ? The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was left to us by the Tang Sect's ancestor.]
When Dugu Bo saw that message, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died!
What drove the knife in deepest was that Dugu Yan even asked from beside him.
"Grandpa, with so many immortal herbs in your medicinal garden, why didn't Tang San let us absorb them? Why did he take them back for the Shrek Seven Devils to absorb instead?"
"Damn you, Tang San! You and I cannot coexist!" Faced with Dugu Yan's questions, Dugu Bo had no idea how to answer. He could only vent his discontent through furious roars.
Tang San only dared to watch the Sky Screen Livestream Room silently, not daring to say a word.
From the moment he took the immortal herbs, he had never considered giving any to Dugu Bo or Dugu Yan.
Meanwhile, in the Modern Era, Jiang Yan watched his steadily rising Shock Points with great satisfaction.
Of them all, Qian Renxue contributed the most shock.
"Quick, watch the anime. Gangzi's classic Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo Theory is about to come up." Just thinking about that theory made Jiang Yan unable to hold back his laughter.
"What Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo Theory?" Although Qian Renxue and the other two were somewhat puzzled, they all turned toward the television.
At that point, the Douluo Continent Anime had reached the part where Gangzi was preparing to take Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a Soul Ring.
