"The Ten Core Competitivenesses of Martial Souls… Grandmaster… I think I know who he is!"
At first, Yu Xiaogang had not revealed his name, only asking Tang San to call him "Grandmaster," so Ning Rongrong had not recognized him.
But the moment she heard that phrase, realization struck instantly. Her eyes lit up as she clapped her hands.
"I know who he is!"
"Who?" Oscar asked curiously.
A proud smile appeared on Ning Rongrong's delicate face.
"His name is Yu Xiaogang. He's the youngest son of Yu Yuanzhen, the Thunder Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
"Unfortunately, he failed to awaken the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and instead obtained a mutated martial soul, with only half a level of innate spirit power."
"At that time, he became a complete laughingstock within both the sect and the Heaven Dou Empire's spirit master circles."
"Later, he left the sect and joined Spirit Hall, where he proposed theories like the Ten Core Competitivenesses of Martial Souls and the Spirit Ring Absorption Limit."
"My family has both of his books. I've read them."
She paused briefly, then a trace of disdain appeared in her eyes.
"But according to my father, those so-called theories are either basic common sense dressed up as insight or rigid conclusions forced out of incomplete data."
"They can be referenced at best, but believing them completely could be dangerous."
"In the theory world, he used to be called the Clown Grandmaster."
Ning Rongrong let out a soft snort.
"Now it makes sense why he claimed to have forgotten his own name and insisted on being called 'Grandmaster.'"
"He really wants that title acknowledged."
Dai Mubai thought for a moment and nodded.
"Putting everything else aside, his first point—'innate spirit power is proportional to the quality of the martial soul'—is just common knowledge."

At the same time, both Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo frowned as they watched the scene.
Yu Xiaogang's deduction appeared logical on the surface.
Tang San possessed innate full spirit power, while Blue Silver Grass should not exceed level one. Therefore, he must have twin spirits.
The conclusion was correct.
But the reasoning was fundamentally flawed.
Both Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo had studied spirit theory deeply due to the flaws in their own martial souls.
They understood one crucial point clearly.
For twin spirits to exist, both martial souls must be of comparable quality.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was clearly not ordinary.
Otherwise, it could never coexist with the Clear Sky Hammer.
Moreover, Tang San's innate full spirit power did not come from his martial soul at all, but from cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
"What nonsense from this so-called Grandmaster."
Dugu Bo sneered coldly.
"He doesn't even know that twin spirits require comparable quality."
"He just guessed based on flawed reasoning and happened to be right."
"That's nothing more than blind luck."
He glanced at Tang Chuan.
"This Tang San is quite shrewd. His innate full spirit power came from cultivation, not talent."
"I doubt Yu Xiaogang can fool him."
"That's not necessarily true," Tang Chuan said with a faint smile.
A normal person might not fall for it.
But Tang San was not exactly normal.
Back to the Comparison Screen
[After hearing Yu Xiaogang's reasoning, Tang San asked about mutated martial souls.]
[Once Yu Xiaogang finished explaining, Tang San nodded thoughtfully.]
[Then, without warning, he stepped back, knelt down, and kowtowed three times.]
["Please accept me as your disciple!"]
At this moment, both worlds fell into complete silence.
Whether it was figures like Qian Daoliu, Ning Fengzhi, and Dugu Bo, or ordinary spectators, everyone was stunned.
It felt as though countless thoughts crashed through their minds at once.
What just happened?
Was Tang San out of his mind?
Setting everything else aside…
Did he not know how his own innate full spirit power came about?
And yet he accepted Yu Xiaogang's explanation without hesitation?
On the Screen
["What are you doing?"]
[Yu Xiaogang was momentarily stunned by Tang San's sudden action.]
[Tang San repeated his request respectfully.]
[Yu Xiaogang's expression immediately turned to joy as he quickly helped him up.]
"Silly child," Yu Xiaogang said.
"There is no need to kneel when taking a teacher. That is reserved for parents and rulers. A bow would suffice."
Tang San shook his head firmly.
"No. A teacher for a day is a father for life. You deserve this respect."
These words deeply moved Yu Xiaogang.
Black World — Shrek Academy
Seeing this scene, Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of complex emotions.
Tang San had just addressed him with utmost respect, even calling him a father figure.
At that moment, all thoughts about nearly being killed twice faded away.
To have such a disciple… what more could he ask for?
Tang San, still slightly embarrassed by what had been revealed earlier, quickly spoke.
"Teacher, it is fortunate that I met you."
"Otherwise, how could I have become the Sea God and Asura God?"
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand modestly, though pride flickered in his eyes.
"I was also fortunate to meet you, Little San."
"Only through you could my theories reach their full potential."
"We have complemented each other."
Nearby, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing fell into silence.
Their expressions were indescribable.
No matter how they looked at it…
Yu Xiaogang's conclusion had been correct.
But the reasoning behind it was completely flawed.
Tang San himself should know this better than anyone.
His innate full spirit power came from cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, not from his martial soul.
And yet…
He accepted it without question.
For a moment, they were left with only one thought.
How exactly was he convinced?
