Chapter 42
Yu Xiaogang: Have you thought about adding a poison attribute soul ring?
When Tang San suspected that Yu Xiaogang was a fraud, Yu Xiaogang felt that Tang San might still recognize him.
"That's right, it's me."
Yu Xiaogang said with a proud look, "I am Master Yu Xiaogang."
Yu Xiaogang's lips unconsciously curled up; he had never had things go so smoothly before.
Isn't Tang San now curious about him?
However, Tang San's expression became even stranger when he heard Yu Xiaogang's self-introduction.
"Master Yu Xiaogang?"
"You're that master who broke through to level 29 before you were even fifty?"
Tang San couldn't help but utter a sentence that Xiang Yang had once used to describe Yu Xiaogang.
However, his words directly exposed Yu Xiaogang's true colors, making Yu Xiaogang blush with embarrassment.
"Nonsense, who taught you to know me like that?"
Yu Xiaogang said angrily.
At the same time, he realized that Tang San might know his past, and he was no longer easy to fool.
Tang San was amused now, as Yu Xiaogang still wanted to deny it.
"Aren't you that Master Yu Xiaogang, who broke through to level twenty-nine before he was even fifty?"
Tang San's question left Yu Xiaogang speechless, and Yu Xiaogang's silence was deafening.
"Don't talk about that. Since you know me, you should know that I am a master in theory."
Yu Xiaogang pretended to be kind and said shamelessly.
His old face, which had been exposed, instantly returned to normal.
Yu Xiaogang truly lives up to his reputation as the character in the original work who can shamelessly spout many boastful words and contribute numerous memorable scenes.
Tang San, seeing Yu Xiaogang quickly regain his composure, was also filled with doubt.
I thought this master Yu Xiaogang might actually have some skills.
If they weren't capable, they would have been furious and embarrassed after their secrets were exposed, and might have already left.
Thinking of this, Tang San's eyes lit up, and he decided to test Yu Xiaogang.
"Theory master, since you understand theory so well, let me test you. If you pass, I'll acknowledge you as a theory master; if you fail, then don't bother me."
Tang San said this seriously, which immediately made Yu Xiaogang feel very happy.
Taking theoretical exams is what he excels at.
However, Yu Xiaogang hasn't realized yet that he originally knew Tang San so that he could take Tang San as his disciple.
Now it's Tang San's turn to test him.
Of course, Yu Xiaogang was very confident, and he responded immediately.
"Ask whatever you want."
Yu Xiaogang's lips curled up as he looked at Tang San's youthful face, thinking to himself that his chance to take Tang San in had come.
"Um, let me think about it."
Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately began to think about it.
Having spent a long time with Xiang Yang, Tang San had learned almost all the basic knowledge about martial souls.
If you want to ask a question, ask a big one. After all, doesn't Yu Xiaogang say he's a master of theory?
Tang San thought to himself, and suddenly he remembered a question that Xiang Yang had been pondering.
"Got it!"
Tang San's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke.
"Since you're a master of theory, you should know the essence of soul power, right?"
Xiang Yang had always wanted to know what the essence of soul power was.
What exactly is the function of soul power, even its most basic function?
At that moment, when Yu Xiaogang heard Tang San ask such a question, he secretly thought to himself that he was in a good position.
What is the essence of this soul power? This question is too basic.
"That's too easy!"
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, Tang San couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.
Could it be that he really knew?
Tang San looked on with curiosity.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang began to speak eloquently.
"The essence of soul power is the transformation of spiritual energy in the air. It has the characteristics of strengthening the body and changing all things."
As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, feeling that his answer was perfect, he couldn't help but observe Tang San's expression.
However, Tang San's face at this moment showed an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"
"Are you really a master?"
Tang San couldn't help but ask back.
"If you're truly a master, how could you utter such low-level words?"
As Tang San spoke, he couldn't help but compare Yu Xiaogang and Xiang Yang.
One is a recognized master in the Soul Master world. Although Xiang Yang told many jokes about this master, Tang San felt that to become a master, one must at least have some skills.
The other was just a six-year-old child. Although he had just become a Soul Master, Xiang Yang's observation and thinking abilities were clearly far superior to those of the master in front of him.
This made Tang San wonder just how poor the theoretical level of this world really was!
As expected, I'll have to go to the most prestigious academy in the future!
This Yu Xiaogang is indeed a self-promoting guy.
As Tang San's gaze grew increasingly strange and his disdain for Yu Xiaogang grew, Yu Xiaogang panicked.
He immediately retorted, "Is there anything wrong with what I said about the essence of soul power? Is there something incorrect about it?"
Yu Xiaogang asked, but Tang San only shook his head in response.
"You're right, but you're also wrong."
Tang San had lost interest in Yu Xiaogang, and his expression was somewhat perfunctory.
"Soul power can strengthen the human body; this doesn't need any explanation, it's a fact in itself."
"Soul power can transform into all sorts of things, which makes sense. After all, martial souls are all composed of soul power, which is just a variety of things, isn't it?"
What you're saying is common sense; it doesn't count as real knowledge.
"If this is all you're capable of, then you'd better not bother me."
As Tang San spoke, he began to read a book on his own.
At this point, he didn't have much of an aversion to Yu Xiaogang. As long as Yu Xiaogang didn't bother him, he wouldn't react.
However, Tang San's words once again touched a raw nerve in Yu Xiaogang's heart.
Is this common sense?
But isn't this the question you wanted to ask yourself?
You talk as if you know a lot.
Yu Xiaogang was completely baffled. What did a six-year-old kid know, that he dared to say such things about his theory?
However, considering that Tang San might be one in a million with twin martial souls, he suppressed his anger.
Tang San possesses twin martial souls, and his innate full soul power must have come from another incredibly powerful martial soul; otherwise, the Blue Silver Grass could not have given him innate full soul power.
Yu Xiaogang kept thinking about it, and when he realized that Tang San might have another super powerful martial soul, he could only force himself to endure it.
So Yu Xiaogang asked again in a gentler tone.
"Do you know something?"
"have no idea."
Tang San shook his head without turning his head. Of course he didn't know; he was asking Xiang Yang.
But Yu Xiaogang had a different answer in his mind.
If Tang San says he doesn't know, then he really doesn't know. In other words, Tang San wants to know more, which is why he asked that question.
Once Yu Xiaogang thought about it this way, he no longer blamed Tang San, and was even happy that Tang San liked the theory of martial souls so much.
As expected of his favored disciple, he also places great emphasis on martial spirit theory.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Since you've asked me this question, you must really need the answer."
"Plus, considering the book about herbs you're reading, and your martial soul is plant-based and quite weak, I'm guessing you're trying to find a way to become stronger?"
Yu Xiaogang spoke eloquently, and Tang San also became somewhat interested upon hearing this.
Could it be that Yu Xiaogang can reveal some knowledge that will make his Blue Silver Grass stronger?
"If that's the case, then I believe you really need one of my ten core competency theories: plant-type martial souls don't necessarily have to absorb only the soul rings of plant-type soul beasts, but can also absorb the soul rings of animal-type soul beasts, taking advantage of their strengths and compensating for their weaknesses."
Yu Xiaogang talked a lot, but it was all useless stuff, and Tang San immediately lost interest.
Yu Xiaogang was taken aback as he stared at Tang San's increasingly impatient expression.
He didn't expect that Tang San wouldn't care about such a valuable theory he had just uttered.
It looks like he'll have to share some truly valuable information.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang leaned closer to Tang San and said with a confident expression.
Have you ever considered adding poison-attribute spirit rings to a plant-type martial soul?
