Chapter 151: The Smart Yu Xiaogang
🕑 Added 2025-03-17 12:23:01 +0000 UTC“Oh, I don’t agree.”
Hearing Yu Xiaogang’s loud words, Sun Zhongjing on the high platform showed an interested look and asked casually: “What are you dissatisfied with my ruling?”
“Your Excellency, King of Medicine, why did I fail this test?”
“Didn’t you say that this level doesn’t focus on strength, but on overall quality?”
Yu Xiaogang stiffened his neck and asked loudly.
“This level really doesn’t value strength.”
Sun Zhongjing nodded, then said: “But what matters is the overall quality of a soul master. Do you think your performance just now is up to standard?”
“this…”
Yu Xiaogang was speechless. After all, his performance just now was really lame beyond words. But it was impossible for him to admit it. How could Master Yu, who loved face, admit that he was not good enough?
“But I think that as a teacher, strength is not important. I believe that Your Excellency, the King of Medicine, has also heard of my “Ten Core Competencies in the Soul World”. I, Yu Xiaogang, am confident that I am more than enough to be a theoretical teacher and teach students.” He had no choice but to bring out his reputation as a master in the soul master world.
“I have heard a little about your theories.”
Sun Zhongjing nodded, then changed the subject and said, “But who knows that hearing about someone is worse than meeting him in person? Your knowledge does not match your own accomplishments. Logically speaking, if those theories were really developed by you with great effort, then you would not have made such a big common sense mistake.”
“…”
Yu Xiaogang’s face changed when he heard what he said. In the past few years, in order to become famous, he published many theories in the spirit master world. Some of those theories were from his family, some from the Spirit Hall, and some of his own private ideas were mixed in. For example, weapon spirits can absorb beast spirits and spirit rings.
Although the theories from the family and the Spirit Hall were not very profound, they were hidden by the big families and big forces and were not allowed to be known by ordinary spirit masters. After all, for the forces inherited from these families, the more ignorant the civilian spirit masters were, the better, so that they could always stay ahead and step on them forever!
Yu Xiaogang, who made this knowledge public, violated the taboos of all the major forces. If he was not from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and his father was not the current sect leader. In addition, the secrets he leaked were not profound. For his act of leaking secrets, he would have been assassinated on the street long ago.
In addition, Yu Xiaogang published these theories, of course, not for the purpose of benefiting the society. It was simply because of his own lack of ability and being despised by others, so he was eager to become famous, so he risked the sect’s taboo and made those knowledge public. He wanted to gain a good reputation. In the end, because he mixed in some of his own private opinions, he became the laughing stock of those high-level soul masters.
So this guy has theoretical knowledge, but to say that he is so profound and has done so much in-depth research… that would be too much of a compliment to him.
Yu Xiaogang is not a research master, but an ordinary person who can only work behind closed doors and copy what others have said. At most, he is a little clever. That's all.
The reason why he was praised so much in the original novel was because he had a good disciple who became a god. In order to please his disciple, other forces could only flatter and praise him as much as possible.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was speechless because of his words, Sun Zhongjing did not intend to let him go, but continued: “This level looks at the comprehensive qualities of a soul master. Including the development of martial souls, the selection of soul rings, the use of soul skills, etc. But from your performance just now, I don’t see any quality worthy of the title of grandmaster.”
“There’s nothing I can do about that.”
After hearing what he said, Yu Xiaogang tried to refute him: “My Luo Sanpao is a malignant mutation, and my innate soul power is less than half a level. It is already the limit to cultivate to level 29, so how can I develop it? As for the choice of soul ring hunting soul skills, my Luo Sanpao does not have much potential. Even if I add a good soul ring, the soul skills I get may not be good. It is better to take a different approach and choose the soul skills that can maximize the advantage.”
“Therefore, the soul beasts I chose for my first and second soul rings were both pig soul beasts. I didn’t choose to absorb the soul rings of dragon soul beasts like the predecessors of my clan did.”
“I see.”
After listening to his story, Sun Zhongjing nodded and said calmly: “Hearing what you said, I finally understand why your martial spirit has such potential but has become like this.”
“Great potential?”
When Yu Xiaogang said this, everyone immediately thought he was joking. The audience in the audience also showed puzzled expressions and started talking.
“Your Excellency the Medicine King said that this pig has great potential?”
“No way, he’s only half level innate…”
“I can’t figure out how to train this pig…”
“Let’s see what His Excellency the Medicine King has to say…”
Facing the puzzled looks of the crowd, Sun Zhongjing continued, “Your martial spirit is actually much more special than you think, and has much more potential!”
“This pig may look like a pig at first glance, but it actually has the potential to evolve into a dragon!”
“Sanpao, can it evolve into a dragon?”
Yu Xiaogang showed an incredible look on his face. He lowered his head and looked at Luo Sanpao who was also looking at him innocently. He shook his head violently and said in disbelief: “No! Impossible! A pig is a pig. How can it turn into a dragon?”
“Why not?”
Sun Zhongjing asked back: “You were born in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Even if your martial soul mutated, did it mutate into a pig? Moreover, it is a pig with unique intelligence that can separate from the soul master’s body. Such a special martial soul, why do you think it is the same as an ordinary martial soul?”
“…”
These words successfully made Yu Xiaogang fall into deep thought.
“In addition, I have also heard of the name of the Golden Iron Triangle.” Sun Zhongjing continued, “I heard that when the three of you merge your martial souls, your martial soul will turn into a golden holy dragon. If it is really a pig, how can it turn into a dragon? Why is the pig the leader among the three of you? Have you thought about this? Why is it like this?”
“Because… Sanpao is just a dragon that looks like a pig… and its bloodline level is much higher than the other two martial spirits! That’s why it is the main one!” Yu Xiaogang said his speculation with a trembling voice.
Sun Zhongjing nodded and said, “Yes, it is well known that martial spirits can become stronger and even evolve as the spirit master practices and adds appropriate spirit rings!”
“For details, you can refer to City Lord Ye of Baiyun City. His Nine Treasures Glazed Tower was able to evolve from the Seven Treasures into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower precisely because of the addition of a high-year spirit ring and the strong source of spirit power!”
