Yu Xiaogang's High-Sounding Interrogation!

"Sorry, I refuse!"

What a joke. How could Tianyu possibly take Gangzi as his master?

Without the slightest hesitation, Tianyu raised a hand and refused. Yu Xiaogang was visibly taken aback. His brow furrowed slightly, as though he couldn't understand why Tianyu had refused.

"Tianyu, I know your concerns. I, Yu Xiaogang... may only be level 29, but did you know? I was the one who proposed the Ten Great Theories of Martial Soul."

"Besides that, my Martial Soul is just like yours: an External Martial Soul!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power surged. He called out Luo Sanpao's name in a low voice, and the next instant, a pale purple light spread out, revealing a strange creature on the ground.

The strange creature was fat and bulky, like a pigsty. Its two little ears drooped, its large eyes had clear pupils, and its expression was docile.

This was Yu Xiaogang's External Martial Soul-Luo Sanpao.

As soon as Luo Sanpao appeared, the others hurriedly stifled their laughter. They had never expected a seemingly serious and respectable teacher to have such a bizarre Martial Soul.

Ma Hongjun had the hardest time holding it in, his face turning red, while Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the other girls had slight smiles on their lips.

What the others probably never would have dreamed, however, was that this bizarre-looking Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, actually had the potential to evolve into the Golden Sacred Dragon.

It was just that Gangzi was a weirdo and a good-for-nothing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Just then, Tang San spoke, his brows tightly knitted and his face livid. He stared fixedly at everyone, his gaze cold.

Xiao Wu was laughing too, but Tang San chose to ignore that. As for the slight smile on Tianyu's lips...

Tang San chose to ignore that too. After all, he was the male best friend of his beloved Xiao Wu~

"Flender, is this teacher you brought in reliable?"

"I'm afraid that in a few months, his level-29 Soul Power Level won't even measure up to Ning Rongrong's."

"How can he command any authority as a teacher?"

Zhao Wuji leaned close to Flender and whispered, somewhat at a loss for words.

"Don't worry, Old Zhao. Xiaogang will handle it himself."

Flender was full of confidence, but he was utterly opposed to Yu Xiaogang's idea of taking Tianyu as his disciple.

"Even so, I still choose to refuse."

"Because I hope my teacher can give me genuine guidance with my Martial Soul, whether it's flames or control over my Martial Soul. But the most important thing is actually..."

Tianyu spoke seriously. Although he hadn't finished, Yu Xiaogang already knew what he wanted to say.

The most important thing was actually Soul Power Level-true cultivation!

At the thought, Yu Xiaogang kept his expression unchanged despite being under everyone's watchful eyes, but a fire burned inside him, and his face gradually reddened.

Seeing the atmosphere grow increasingly tense, Flender finally spoke up to ease it.

"Hehe, Little Monster, since you like playing with fire and close combat so much, I have a teacher I can recommend to you!"

"Flender, what do you mean? Could it be..." Yu Xiaogang's pupils abruptly contracted, and his heart trembled.

"That's right, it's Erlong. Back then, she was the best fighter of the three of us, and she's the best match for Tianyu too."

Flender smiled excitedly, though a barely perceptible hint of disappointment showed in his eyes. Yu Xiaogang immediately fell silent and lowered his head in thought.

Tianyu: "???"

Could it be Liu Erlong?

The woman Yu Xiaogang loved, the wife he had nearly married back then? That was a good thing~

Tianyu's eyes immediately lit up. This time he didn't object, and his expression grew serious, as though he had accepted the choice.

It couldn't be helped...

If Tianyu were asked to form contracts with Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran as Contract Beasts, he might still hesitate.

But if it were a mature beauty like Liu Erlong, cold on the outside and warm on the inside, with especially close ties to Gangzi, violent toward others but gentle only with him...

Tianyu really was interested-not just interested, but very interested!

"Dean Flender, do you mean the Horn of Slaughter, one of the Golden Iron Triangle once known across the continent?"

Ning Rongrong was indeed from a major sect and knew some basic facts about the continent's experts. She suddenly spoke up.

"That's right!" Flender nodded slightly at her words, his expression full of pride. The title of the Golden Iron Triangle had always been a source of honor for him.

"But do you know where Liu Erlong is?" Yu Xiaogang asked hesitantly, his head lowered and his expression gloomy.

"I do. When there's a chance in the future, I'll let the two of you reunite." After hesitating for a while, Flender let out a deep sigh and spoke with a smile.

In the original story, because Yu Xiaogang had fled the wedding and abandoned yet another woman, Liu Erlong, he didn't know where she was.

Only Flender knew. Later, he even went out of his way to arrange a reunion between Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong and secretly tried like mad to bring them together. He was the ultimate simp.

"In that case, let's leave it at that!"

"However, I still want to know, student Tianyu, how exactly did you manage to absorb a Soul Ring above your level and obtain a thousand-year second ring?"

"If you can tell me, my Ten Great Theories of Martial Soul will surely become even more complete, and they can also benefit future generations of Soul Masters. Please, you must tell me..."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot. If his failure to take a disciple just now had left him a little annoyed,

now he was truly serious!

Tianyu: "?"

You sound like you're interrogating me. Are you trying to force me?

As soon as Yu Xiaogang said those words, as though questioning a criminal, the way everyone looked at him changed.

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and the third person wore distinctly amused smiles.

Zhao Wuji and Flender were also somewhat at a loss. Although they knew about Tianyu's thousand-year second ring, it had always been his secret, so as his teachers, they had never pressed him about it.

Yet Yu Xiaogang had behaved this way as soon as he arrived, leaving them somewhat embarrassed.

As for Ning Rongrong, who came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she naturally knew that if a method for absorbing Soul Rings above one's level were revealed, it would surely have a profound impact on future Soul Masters!

But when she thought of Tianyu's care for her, her expression grew serious too, and she fixed a calm gaze on Yu Xiaogang.

As for Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, both were Tianyu's Contract Beasts. Without the slightest hesitation, they stood behind Tianyu, united against a common enemy.

At this point, Tang San was the only one among them who remained undecided.

On one side was his teacher; on the other was Xiao Wu's male best friend...

"Third Brother, why is Grandmaster acting like this? Isn't he bullying an honest person like Tianyu, forcing him to reveal his secret?"

"Why don't you say something? Tianyu is my male best friend!" Xiao Wu said seriously, her hands on her slender waist and her voice soft and coquettish.

Sure enough, the moment Xiao Wu acted coquettishly, Tang San fell into line.

"Teacher, that's Tianyu's secret. Why don't we stop pressing him..."

"Xiao San! This concerns my Martial Soul core competitiveness, the eleventh great theory. I absolutely cannot back down."

"But..."

"No buts!"

"Tianyu, I hope you'll tell me truthfully, because this concerns the future of Soul Masters."

"If you're willing, I can invite you to join me in researching the eleventh theory, beyond the Ten Great Theories of Martial Soul core competitiveness!!!"

Tianyu: "?"

Have I been giving you too much face? Just wait, I'll send you flying!
