Chapter 128 Yu Xiaogang's Defenses Weakened.
Silence fell. The surrounding air suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Yu Xiaogang.
He didn't want Huo Yuhao to become his disciple, so what was he thinking?
Even Tang San was shocked by Yu Xiaogang's words. No, how dare Yu Xiaogang? Who Huo Yuhao's master is? Others may not know, but how could Tang San not know? That's Ilex, a ruthless character who already had the strength of a first-level god before even becoming a god.
Tang San suddenly realized, "That's right, I am a dignified God King, why should Yu Xiaogang, a piece of trash, be my master!"
Tang San suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Yes, it seems I've fallen into a mental trap. The reason I became Yu Xiaogang's apprentice in my past life was precisely because I wanted to learn from him. Now, my knowledge far surpasses Yu Xiaogang's. How dare he become my teacher? He's practically courting death!
However, since he had already become Yu Xiaogang's disciple in this life, and as the saying goes, "a teacher for a day is a father for life," Tang San couldn't very well kill his own father, could he? Thinking of this, Tang San could only give up for the time being and let this good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang live on.
Of course, it would be even better if Yu Xiaogang angered Huo Yuhao and got killed, since he was going to kill Huo Yuhao anyway.
Huo Yuhao killed Yu Xiaogang, and Huo Yuhao killed Yu Xiaogang in return, thus avenging Yu Xiaogang. Yu Xiaogang was such a disgrace; he was clearly rich, yet he acted like a beggar, which was utterly shameful.
However, although he felt disgusted, Tang San did not show it at all. He just watched coldly to see if Huo Yuhao would make a move. After all, in Tang San's eyes, Huo Yuhao's bloodlust was much stronger than his own.
After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Huo Yuhao looked at Yu Xiaogang with great interest.
"You want to be my teacher?"
Yu Xiaogang confidently raised his head and said, "That's right, I want to be your teacher. With my help, you will definitely be able to reach the pinnacle of Soul Master."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were filled with fervor.
"puff..."
Ning Rongrong, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh after hearing Yu Xiaogang's words.
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's mocking voice, Yu Xiaogang's face immediately darkened.
It's so familiar. That voice is so familiar. It's exactly the same as the smile of those who mocked me for being a waste.
Yu Xiaogang felt a deep pain in his heart, and turned around with a ferocious expression, about to lash out.
However, when Yu Xiaogang saw Ning Rongrong, he immediately wilted. The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not someone to be trifled with.
So Yu Xiaogang pretended he hadn't heard Ning Rongrong's laughter.
However, the little witch Ning Rongrong had no intention of letting Yu Xiaogang off the hook. In Ning Rongrong's eyes, this guy, with his looks, wanted to be Yuhao's master, which was simply an insult to Yuhao.
"Master... you are, right?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Yu Xiaogang with a mocking expression. Seeing Ning Rongrong's sly smile, Yu Xiaogang immediately felt that something bad was about to happen.
As expected, Ning Rongrong asked, "Master, you said that under your tutelage, Yuhao will become a top expert in the future. Then let me ask you, even without you, is it possible that Yuhao cannot become a top expert? Or are you just after Yuhao's talent and want to use your status as Yuhao's teacher to swindle and reap the benefits?"
Ning Rongrong truly lived up to her reputation as Ning Fengzhi's daughter. Although it was only a few short sentences, every word hit the nail on the head, leaving Yu Xiaogang speechless.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang was also a master of sophistry, and he quickly came up with a solution.
Yu Xiaogang once again put his hands behind his back, facing away from everyone, and said, "Ning Rongrong, I admit, Yuhao is indeed..."
"Who are you calling Yuhao? How dare you call him Yuhao?"
Seeing Ning Rongrong's unreasonable behavior, Tang San frowned. Yu Xiaogang was still his nominal teacher, and Ning Rongrong's disrespect for Yu Xiaogang was tantamount to disrespecting him.
Thinking of this, Tang San immediately prepared to step forward to support Yu Xiaogang. However, before Tang San could take a step, he felt Huo Yuhao's gaze.
Forget it, this Yu Xiaogang is just trying to gain fame. Besides, Ning Rongrong is just a child, and also his companion. How could the mighty Tang God King possibly hold a grudge against Ning Rongrong? This is ridiculous!
Yu Xiaogang, feeling utterly frustrated, continued, "Then, Huo Yu..."
"Alright, Master, you don't need to say anymore."
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was still going to keep pestering him, Huo Yuhao also felt a little annoyed and directly interrupted Yu Xiaogang.
"I will not become your apprentice, so you don't need to waste your breath."
Yu Xiaogang still looked unwilling. In his opinion, Huo Yuhao seemed to be quite easy to talk to, so why was he so decisive in refusing him? Yu Xiaogang was puzzled by this. He had to figure this out, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep.
"Why?"
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and said, "First of all, I already have my own teacher, so I will not become your student."
"Secondly, you can't teach me anything, so I won't become your apprentice. Have I made myself clear?"
"Thirdly, regardless of whether you are a theoretical master or not, I have read your theories. I suggest that you first improve your theories and add your own ideas instead of simply copying the theories of the Spirit Hall."
After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai and the others around him almost all turned their gazes to Yu Xiaogang.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaogang is actually this kind of person, copying other people's work; it's simply shameless.
As for the veracity of what Huo Yuhao said, even Dai Mubai did not doubt it.
Although Dai Mubai hated Huo Yuhao to the core, Huo Yuhao was at least a strong person and a decent person. Dai Mubai did not believe that Huo Yuhao would stoop so low as to frame an unknown master.
However, upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the master instantly became anxious.
"What did you say? You actually dare to say that my theory was copied from the Spirit Hall? Huo Yuhao, what right do you have to say that to me! These are all my theories, they are mine!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes immediately became bloodshot, and he stared at Huo Yuhao with a ferocious look.
It should be noted that Yu Xiaogang treasures these valuable theories of "himself" the most.
Yu Xiaogang admitted that he did refer to "a little bit" of the Spirit Hall's theories, but how can a scholar's work be called plagiarism? At most, it can be considered borrowing, okay?
Even Flander frowned, looking at Huo Yuhao with some displeasure.
He knew very well that Yu Xiaogang valued his theories more than his own life. Huo Yuhao publicly said that Yu Xiaogang's theories were plagiarized, wasn't that like trying to kill Yu Xiaogang?
"Yuhao, you have to provide evidence before you speak. Without any proof, how can you say that Xiaogang's theory is copied from the Spirit Hall?"
Huo Yuhao sneered: "Master, you keep saying that all your theories are compiled by yourself, then let me ask you, are the six development directions of plant-type martial souls and the soul ring addition scheme on page 117 of your theory?"
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the master immediately revealed a profound and enigmatic smile: "Not bad, I didn't expect that you, Yuhao, had actually read my theories..."
"Alright, stop spouting nonsense. In the Spirit Hall's books, there's a book called 'The Complete Book of Plant Spirit Appraisal,' and page 437 contains the exact same content as your spirit theory. How do you explain that?"
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Yu Xiaogang was immediately shocked. He couldn't believe how Huo Yuhao knew about this matter. Moreover, this book was kept in the library of the Spirit Hall's Papal Palace, and only the core members of the Spirit Hall could access it. Therefore, Huo Yuhao in front of him was a member of the Spirit Hall!
However, Yu Xiaogang was no longer concerned with investigating Huo Yuhao's identity. He was now thinking about how to argue his way out of trouble. If Huo Yuhao really revealed all his secrets, wouldn't his reputation as a master of theory be ruined?
