Chapter 44 You admit you're a piece of trash?
The lecture went exceptionally smoothly. At least when Tang San shared Xiao Yan's insights, the audience listened attentively, occasionally clapping. Tang San had also discussed the lecture content with Xiao Yan, worrying that if he were to impart all this knowledge to everyone at once, they might surpass him.
Xiao Yan laughed and said that he was still too narrow-minded. What they needed to do was never a personal matter, but the livelihood of the mainland in the future.
As time passed, the free exchange session finally began. Since Tang San gave a combination of explanation and demonstration, everyone gained a lot. Among them were a few enthusiastic female fans who wanted to rush onto the stage to touch the Blue Silver Seed on Tang San's head, but were naturally stopped by the Spirit Hall guards.
"Tang, Tang San, Tang San..."
After the previous Soul Master got the answer he wanted, a person dressed in black robes raised his hand tremblingly from the audience below the stage, his voice somewhat hoarse.
"My friend, there's no need to be so nervous. If you really don't know how to address me, just call me Tang San."
Through the Purple Demon Eye, Tang San's face showed a hint of amusement. He had already clearly seen that the person with the veiled face was none other than Yu Xiaogang, and he was wondering what identity the master would appear in.
Despite recognizing his identity, Tang San still looked at him kindly.
To outsiders, he was just a learned scholar who still remembered humility, smiling. Although Tang San denied it and Master Yanxiao did not admit it, in everyone's mind, Tang San was Master Yanxiao's prized student.
Little did they know that Tang San would find it difficult to suppress his laughter when he saw the meticulously dressed Yu Xiaogang looking so ridiculous.
"I would like to ask, Mr. Yan Xiao, what are his views on the ten core theories of martial spirits?"
"Here he comes." Xiao Yan, who had already stopped arguing with the rolling ball beast during the Q&A session, knew that the person asking the question was Yu Xiaogang when he heard Xiao San gently tap the table three times.
"Truly, one trick is all you need to succeed in everything." Xiao Yan pinched his brow, thinking that Yu Xiaogang was someone who could treat these ten theories as a family heirloom.
So he gently tapped the ground, as if to tell Tang San that he would answer the question.
At the same time, Old Man Li, who had been waiting on the side, finally came in handy. He squeezed into the small place where only Xiao Yan had been through another secret passage.
Upon receiving the message, Tang San immediately put his ear to the back of the curtain, nodded in a pretentious manner, and when he saw that it was almost time, he quietly lifted a corner of the curtain.
The people below the stage immediately scrambled to look behind the curtain. This was Master Yan Xiao! Although he wasn't a peerless beauty, in the world of Soul Masters, apart from Xiao Yan and a few others, no one had ever seen his true face.
Unfortunately, the one who emerged from behind the curtain was Xiao Yan with a smile on his face.
"It's him." Xue'er, who was listening to the conversation for so long, was wondering why she hadn't seen the boy from before. She wondered if she had been tricked. Fortunately, he appeared.
"Mr. Yanxiao caught a cold recently and it was difficult for him to speak, so he said that I would answer his questions on his behalf."
Regarding the question just now, the gentleman has already told me everything he wanted to say, and I will try my best to repeat it exactly as he said it.
These ten core competencies of martial spirits were first proposed by 'Grandmaster' Yu Xiaogang. I probably don't need to repeat their contents to everyone here, since every toilet out of toilet paper turns to Grandmaster Yu's teachings."
These words drew laughter from the audience. Indeed, in recent years, after his setback in hunting king-level soul beasts, Yu Xiaogang had done a lot of publicity in Notting City, and as a result, he had gathered a group of believers like the ones who accompanied him in the parade a few days ago.
"Mr. Yan Xiao said that although no one has put all ten of the ten core competencies of a martial spirit into practice, they still have many merits."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Gangzi, sitting in the audience, revealed a smug expression, though no one else could see it.
"For example, Master Yu summarized the theories of spirit mimicry, the need to personally kill the spirit beast to absorb the spirit ring, the spirit beast level and spirit ring color, the spirit beast classification and development direction. Mr. Yan Xiao said that Master Yu Xiaogang summarized them very well, saving others the trouble of searching for them in other ancient books."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. It seemed that in Notting City, where Yanxiao was at the height of his power, Yu Xiaogang was practically less than an ant on the ground.
"The master said that these arguments can be found in various ancient books and stories of extraordinary people and events if one is willing to study them. It's just that no one has summarized them yet, which has given the master an opening. The master's ability to combine the strengths of many schools of thought is still commendable."
The audience immediately began to discuss among themselves. Seeing this, Tang San took out a stack of papers and distributed them to the audience. The papers indicated which books these viewpoints came from, and some even included oral accounts recorded by the leaders of certain sects.
One of the people present even pointed to a book above and said, "No wonder the master's theories sounded familiar; it turns out I've read this book before..."
Xiao Yan didn't care whether what they said was true or false; what people liked to do most was to stand on the moral high ground and criticize others.
All Xiao Yan had to do was make Yu Xiaogang realize his own shortcomings.
To be honest, if Gangzi hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have bothered with a Great Soul Master who only ever reached level 29.
Xiao Yan narrowed his purple-tinged eyes, looking at Gangzi, who was blushing under the hood. "Since you asked the question in your capacity, I'll pretend Yu Xiaogang wasn't here. What's wrong with offending you?"
"Besides what has been summarized above, the fusion of different bodies should be the result of the master's practice. However, I think the reason why he claims the accuracy of this theory is because he doesn't want to mention the name of his original team: the Golden Iron Triangle."
"What?" Some of the commoners in the audience had heard of the story of the Golden Iron Triangle, while those sitting in the VIP seats knew even more about the terrifying power of the Iron Triangle's Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Those three people did indeed have unrelated Martial Souls, and they never expected that Master Yu Xiaogang was one of them.
Yu Xiaogang stared intently at the curtain behind Xiao Yan, increasingly curious about who this Yan Xiao was and why the other party knew so much about the secret he had kept buried in his heart for so many years.
"After affirming Master Yu's points, the remaining two points are all wrong. The first one is what the master said: the higher the quality of the martial soul, the higher the innate soul power. Then the problem arises. If that were true, wouldn't everyone in the three upper sects have full innate soul power? Even if they are slightly worse, it wouldn't be unreasonable for their soul power to exceed level 5. But I have heard that there are quite a few direct descendants of the three upper sects whose soul power does not exceed level 3. Therefore, the master's point is self-defeating."
Those in the audience nodded in agreement. Xiao Yan did not repeat the contents of the letter he had told Xue'er. The so-called theory that innate soul power is talent was a very realistic theory about the chosen ones, and there was no need to say it.
"There's another point, which is the most classic one: there are no useless spirits, only useless spirit masters. My younger brother, Xiao San, has Blue Silver Grass as his spirit, and he's already a level 25 Great Spirit Master. To put it bluntly, Blue Silver Grass is a useless spirit."
Upon hearing this, Tang San activated his Martial Soul, revealing two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple. He had only shown his Blue Silver Grass earlier, so the fact that the combination of these two spirit rings was now exposed shocked everyone present.
Actually, some time ago, Tang San had asked Xiao Yan about the fact that his second spirit ring was purple, since most of the people around him had yellow spirit rings, and wondered if their thousand-year spirit rings were too flashy.
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "What's there to be afraid of? If it's not a thousand-year soul ring, how can we convince Master Yan Xiao?"
Their millennium soul rings were obtained through hunting with the help of the Dean of Notting Academy.
I remember the way the other person looked at us back then, as if they felt like they were dreaming.
Besides, after today, perhaps achieving the second spirit ring after a thousand years isn't so difficult for a very small number of people...
The moment the purple-robed bishop of the Spirit Hall saw the purple spirit ring, he immediately asked Su Yuntao, who was standing to the side, what was going on. After all, a student who could study at Notting Academy could not possibly awaken his spirit without the help of the Spirit Hall. Why was this child not a member of the Spirit Hall?
Su Yuntao's forehead was covered in sweat. He was so nervous that he didn't know how to explain. He could only keep saying that the Blue Silver Grass didn't have any offensive capabilities at all, and that he had already reported it to the branch hall.
Although Xue'er was surprised, she watched Tang San with great interest, which made her more and more interested in Yan Xiao.
Yes, a ten-year-old Great Soul Master is not the most terrifying thing, but someone who can cultivate a ten-year-old Great Soul Master is an invaluable talent for any force.
"I miscalculated today. I should have consulted His Holiness the Pope beforehand." The purple-robed bishop was somewhat annoyed. He even felt that the Pope should have been present in person today.
"Since there are no useless martial souls, why is it that the Grandmaster is now fifty years old and still stuck at the bottleneck of level 29?"
Or are you admitting that you're a good-for-nothing?
A strong wind blew away Yu Xiaogang's last fig leaf, exposing him to the air.
