Chapter 330: Free Meals and Drinks, Taking Advantage and Acting Proud, Yu Xiaogang Becomes the Clown!
Faced with the fourth visit from Fei Luosi, representing all the teachers and students of Notting Academy, even though he listened to Fei Luosi's earnest and repeated invitations, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel some guilt in his heart.
But because Yu Xiaogang was too useless and also cared too much about his pride, he couldn't really agree to join Notting Academy, as that would expose his true nature!
However, if he rejected the invitation again in such an indirect way, it would be awkward.
After all, he had been thinking about this for over a week. If he still hadn't made up his mind, it would seriously embarrass Notting Academy!
So after a lot of careful thought, Yu Xiaogang eventually came up with a way to avoid Fei Luosi's offer.
His excuse was that he needed to do research and simply didn't have the time to teach. Therefore, he couldn't join Notting Academy as a teacher.
Although teaching was something he wanted to do, compared to devoting himself to soul weapon theory research, teaching was just too limiting.
After all, being a teacher couldn't help him teach that many students, but if he continued with his research, it could potentially benefit the entire Soul Master world on the Douluo Continent!
At this point, Yu Xiaogang even raised his voice a bit, sounding quite impassioned as if what he was saying was true.
However, in the livestream, when viewers saw how Yu Xiaogang was evading Fei Luosi's offer, and Fei Luosi seemed to believe it, many people were left speechless, feeling great disdain for Yu Xiaogang's supposed ideals, responsibility, and mission.
Countless people in the livestream were about to throw up.
What the hell! Yu Xiaogang is so fake!
He's talking about benefiting the Soul Master world with his soul weapon theory research? Are you kidding me? Several parts of his theory are completely wrong, and it's the kind of theory that could cost lives!
Are you really trying to help Soul Masters, or are you just trying to harm people?
And Fei Luosi is such a fool?
How could he believe such obviously fake and empty words?
If Yu Xiaogang was really that impressive and great, why is no one in the Soul Master world believing his theory? It's obvious he's just bluffing!
As countless people complained in their minds, the livestream continued.
Fei Luosi, though admiring Yu Xiaogang's mission and sense of responsibility, was still not completely fooled.
Although it was possible that Yu Xiaogang was busy with his research and had to travel frequently to gather data on soul weapon theory, it couldn't be that he was always out of the academy, right?
Since he was already staying at Notting Academy, he would have to return at some point. Though he might not have enough time to be a regular teacher, surely he could manage to be a guest lecturer?
Fei Luosi wasn't asking for much; all he wanted was for Yu Xiaogang to spare some time to give a lecture at Notting Academy once a week or once a month. That would be enough!
That way, Fei Luosi would be able to explain things to the other teachers at Notting Academy.
After all, he had led the entire faculty several times to visit Yu Xiaogang, hoping that he would join the academy.
If Yu Xiaogang still refused to join, it would be a huge embarrassment!
Although Yu Xiaogang was not yet widely recognized as a true master of soul weapon theory in the Soul Master world, it was Fei Luosi's efforts that had convinced most of the teachers at Notting Academy to reluctantly accept him.
But if Yu Xiaogang was already living at Notting Academy and refused to even teach a single class, it would be a complete insult to the academy—he would be looking down on them completely!
So, even though Yu Xiaogang was using his research as an excuse to avoid Fei Luosi's invitation, Fei Luosi still earnestly said that even if Yu Xiaogang was busy with his research, it didn't matter.
As long as Yu Xiaogang could find time in his schedule, even if it was just once a week or once a month, a single class would suffice!
In Fei Luosi's view, Yu Xiaogang came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and had studied soul weapon theory in the Spirit Hall. He was undoubtedly a master.
Even if things didn't go well, the knowledge Yu Xiaogang had would far exceed that of any teacher at Notting Academy.
So, as long as Yu Xiaogang agreed to teach at Notting Academy, even just once a week or once a month, it would be a huge boon for the academy.
Moreover, this would also be a good opportunity for Yu Xiaogang.
Fei Luosi believed that since he had already compromised this much, Yu Xiaogang surely wouldn't refuse again.
But sometimes, the outcome is unexpected.
When Fei Luosi made his second concession, Yu Xiaogang, feeling awkward, hesitated, mumbling a few words before ultimately refusing again, telling Fei Luosi that he simply didn't have the time.
If he did have the time, he would certainly go to Notting Academy to give a lecture.
However, since Yu Xiaogang never gave any concrete promises, it was clear that his "available time" could just keep being pushed further away!
When Fei Luosi heard Yu Xiaogang's refusal again, his face immediately turned sour, and anger began to build in his heart.
Though his relationship with Yu Xiaogang had always been good due to their past friendship and Yu Xiaogang's background, Fei Luosi couldn't help but feel like Yu Xiaogang was being unreasonable.
What's so great about being from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?
What's so impressive about being a master of soul weapon theory?
You're useless, and doesn't everyone know it? When have I ever looked down on you?
But isn't this a slap in the face? I've practically begged you!
Either you reject my invitation outright and leave Notting Academy, or you stay and stop freeloading off the academy.
You just keep taking advantage of us every day—don't you feel any shame?
Fei Luosi was furious at Yu Xiaogang's continued rejection.
Meanwhile, in the livestream, when everyone saw that Yu Xiaogang was staying at Notting Academy, freeloading without contributing anything, countless viewers couldn't help but mock him.
Yu Xiaogang, you're really both hypocritical and shameless!
It's one thing to plagiarize the Spirit Hall's soul weapon theories, but now you want to freeload, acting like you're teaching and giving lectures when you're not? You're like a prostitute, taking advantage of everything but offering nothing in return!
Even if you're researching soul weapon theory, you won't even agree to a sporadic lecture. How do you expect to prove your theories, with your head?
It's laughable!
And the events that followed were just like in the original story.
After repeatedly rejecting Fei Luosi's invitation, but not leaving and still staying at Notting Academy, freeloading off their resources, Fei Luosi, considering their past friendship and Yu Xiaogang's background, was extremely angry, but he still kept pretending to be polite and continued trying to get Yu Xiaogang to join the academy.
However, the other teachers at Notting Academy were not so polite.
Yu Xiaogang's shameless behavior quickly earned him a bad reputation at Notting Academy. Initially, many teachers had believed in Yu Xiaogang because of Fei Luosi's praise, thinking he was a true master.
But because Yu Xiaogang refused to teach even a single class, the teachers began to doubt whether he was really the soul weapon theory master he claimed to be, or just a clown who had plagiarized the Spirit Hall's knowledge.
