Compared to Yu Xiaogang's reaction, Tang San's face showed a look of sudden realization, but when he thought that the theories he had always dismissed were actually the truth, Tang San's heart found it hard to accept. He subconsciously glanced at Yu Xiaogang, unsure what to say. He recalled the theories in that book and understood the root cause of his Spirit's poisoning.
Ma Hongjun, with a cheerful smile, took out a book and handed it to Yu Xiaogang, saying, "Grandmaster, this is a theoretical book published not long ago. It's very popular on the market right now. Almost every Spirit Master on the Douluo Continent has a copy. It even records a cultivation method that can improve Soul Power!"
Yu Xiaogang's face turned cold. He took the book from Ma Hongjun in disbelief and immediately began to flip through it.
"Spirits can evolve... Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... Yu Xiaogang... How is this possible!" The more Yu Xiaogang read, the more something felt wrong. His aged face gradually became distorted, looking very frightening!
"I can't be wrong, I am right, impossible... impossible..." Yu Xiaogang was on the verge of going mad. Everyone in the room dared not make a sound!
As the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang had always been high and mighty since childhood. However, due to awakening a mutated Spirit and having only 0.5 level of Soul Power, he instantly fell from grace.
Afterward, Yu Xiaogang continuously searched for a way to resolve his Spirit's problem, even joining Spirit Hall against his Sect's objections. He endured humiliation and hardship.
However, things did not go as he wished. Yu Xiaogang still hadn't found a solution for his Spirit. In desperation, Yu Xiaogang could only embark on a special path, becoming a Theoretical Master. He plagiarized Spirit Hall's theories and combined them with his own insights, thereby becoming a respected Theoretical Master. But now, someone was telling him that all his theories were wrong, that Yu Xiaogang's years of effort had been in vain, and that he, the Theoretical Master, had become a laughingstock and a topic of conversation after meals in the eyes of the world. He could not accept such a result!
Looking at the increasingly abnormal Yu Xiaogang, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai all turned their heads away, their lips secretly curling into an imperceptible smile.
Yu Xiaogang's usual arrogant and self-important demeanor had long been unpopular. Both the teachers and students of Shrek Academy had considerable private opinions. Seeing Yu Xiaogang in such a state, their hearts were filled with immense satisfaction!
Flender sighed, slowly stood up, and looked at Yu Xiaogang with a pained expression, comforting him, "Xiaogang, you need to calm down. Even if your theories are wrong, what does it matter? At least now there's a solution. Perhaps your Spirit still has hope?"
Flender had long thought of a way to stay out of the matter. Now was the time to step out and be the good guy!
"Teacher! I don't blame you, I believe your theories are correct!" Seeing Yu Xiaogang on the verge of going mad, Tang San said righteously.
Although Tang San knew in his heart that Yu Xiaogang's theories were wrong, and had even crippled one of his Spirits, Tang San still chose to forgive Yu Xiaogang. Ever since he came to the Douluo Continent, Yu Xiaogang was the only person who made him feel warm. Having been deprived of love since childhood, seeing Yu Xiaogang in such a state made Tang San feel uneasy. Moreover, now that he knew the source of the problem, Tang San had already thought of a way to resolve the Spirit's poisoning, so why make Yu Xiaogang sad again?
As soon as Tang San spoke, Oscar and the other two looked at him in shock. Goodness, Tang San, this disciple, was truly something. He was originally a twin spirits genius, rarely seen in a hundred years, but now he had gone astray and had one of his Spirits forcibly crippled by Yu Xiaogang. Now, facing Yu Xiaogang, the culprit, not only did he show no resentment, but he actually chose to forgive! Was he a fool?
For a moment, the three of them had different thoughts.
Ma Hongjun: Tang San is truly foolish!
Oscar: Is Tang San missing a screw?
Dai Mubai: Can Tang San's mind truly be used by me?
Flender, who was standing by, looked at Tang San with a face full of relief, sighing in his heart, "My old friend's skill isn't great, but his eye for disciples is quite good!"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with a complicated expression, his eyes welling up. He slowly put down the book in his hand and said with a choked voice, "Little San, it's... it's me, Yu Xiaogang, who has wronged you! I am not worthy of being your teacher!"
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang's legs slightly bent, and he began to kneel in Tang San's direction. Tang San was, after all, a genius with twin spirits and innate full spirit power. Now that he had ruined one of his Spirits, Yu Xiaogang had to give Tang San an explanation no matter what.
"Teacher... absolutely not!" Tang San immediately exclaimed upon seeing this, then quickly stepped forward, supporting Yu Xiaogang's arm and helping him up.
"Teacher, you don't need to do this. Little San can't bear it. Little San truly doesn't blame you. You don't need to blame yourself. Everything was Little San's voluntary choice!" Tang San said earnestly.
These heartwarming words completely brought tears to Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
Flender, who was nearby, was also moved by this scene, his eyes glistening with tears!
"Little San..." Yu Xiaogang wiped the tears from his face and continued, "I know that no matter what I do, I cannot make up for my mistake to you. Now that it has happened, I will definitely find a way to help you solve your Spirit's problem!"
Tang San nodded. Although he already had a plan for his Spirit's problem, two heads are better than one, and it wouldn't hurt to have Yu Xiaogang offer some ideas.
In the Dean's office, Flender sighed and said, "Tang San, I've also considered your problem. The only way now is to find the Immortal Herb described in the book!"
Tang San gently nodded. He also knew that the Immortal Herb could indeed solve his problem, but the question was, where was the Immortal Herb?
No matter what kind of Immortal Herb, they were all creations of heaven and earth, things that could be encountered but not sought after.
Yu Xiaogang wiped the tears from his face again, turned to Flender, and asked, "Boss Flender, is the cultivation method inside real?"
Flender nodded, replying affirmatively, "All the cultivation methods in this book are feasible. I've also cultivated it. Mysterious Heaven Skill can indeed speed up cultivation to a certain extent and deepen a Spirit Master's foundation!"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head and sighed, "Alas... The world calls me Grandmaster, but the person who wrote this book is the true Grandmaster. He is truly benefiting the entire Douluo Continent!"
Yu Xiaogang confirmed the authenticity of the theories in the Encyclopedia of Martial Soul Cultivation, and did not forget to praise the author, subconsciously raising his own status as well.
