Chapter 331: Iconic Scene, Hypocritical and Double-Standard Yu Xiaogang Takes on Tang San as His Disciple!
In the livestream.
Because Yu Xiaogang wanted to freeload at Notting Academy without teaching, his behavior of taking advantage of others while acting all high and mighty quickly tarnished his reputation at the academy.
Fei Luosi only made a superficial effort to prevent the teachers at Notting Academy from spreading such rumors, but in reality, he hardly cared.
Fei Luosi didn't mind that Yu Xiaogang was freeloading at Notting Academy.
Though Notting Academy was just a small junior Soul Master academy, being part of a Soul Master academy meant that they weren't lacking in money. Keeping Yu Xiaogang around wouldn't be a problem.
However, Yu Xiaogang had gone too far!
Fei Luosi had repeatedly led the entire teaching staff to visit Yu Xiaogang with great respect, inviting him to join the academy. He even made numerous concessions, offering to let him teach just one class a week or a month.
Yet despite all this, Yu Xiaogang still refused.
Wasn't that just blatant disrespect for him and Notting Academy?!
This made Fei Luosi very angry.
If Yu Xiaogang didn't respect them or Notting Academy, then why didn't he just leave? To stay and continue freeloading was completely shameless!
Fei Luosi had never encountered such an arrogant and shameless person in his entire life!
And in the livestream, Yu Xiaogang's actions didn't disappoint Fei Luosi's assessment.
Even though his behavior had caused dissatisfaction among the entire faculty and students of Notting Academy, making him a laughingstock, Yu Xiaogang just acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued to shamelessly live at Notting Academy for free.
As for his so-called research on soul weapon theory, since Yu Xiaogang had exaggerated his work, claiming to be extremely busy, the academy believed he was engaged in some groundbreaking research.
However, after a few months, Notting Academy learned that Yu Xiaogang's so-called research was just going around the villages near Notting City, collecting data on the awakened soul weapons and innate soul power of young children.
This made the entire faculty of Notting Academy want to puke.
So, this is what a so-called soul weapon theory master does?
He spends his days "researching" soul weapon theory but only collects useless data from kids? What could this possibly achieve?!
And when they learned that Yu Xiaogang's research was merely about collecting soul weapon data from newly awakened Soul Masters, even Fei Luosi couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
He couldn't understand what could possibly be gained from such data.
Is innate soul power really directly proportional to the strength of a soul weapon?
That's basic knowledge in the Soul Master world!
But because Fei Luosi had been the one who glorified Yu Xiaogang so much at the academy, he couldn't just slap himself in the face and admit that Yu Xiaogang was a fraud.
So, Fei Luosi pretended to disbelieve the rumors, even going as far as "angrily" telling the faculty of Notting Academy to stop discussing these matters.
In his eyes, Yu Xiaogang was still a talented, albeit misunderstood, soul weapon theory master!
Meanwhile, in the livestream, when viewers learned that Yu Xiaogang's research was just collecting data from newly awakened Soul Masters, many people began to despise him even more and ridicule his actions.
Seeing this, many began to believe even more strongly that all of Yu Xiaogang's theories were nothing but plagiarized work from the Spirit Hall!
After all, a so-called master of soul weapon theory conducting research on soul weapons was only going around collecting data on newly awakened Soul Masters.
Isn't that nonsense?!
But this was completely normal.
Yu Xiaogang was a useless person through and through. He had no money, no strength, and couldn't approach stronger Soul Masters to collect data without getting beaten up.
So, he could only prey on these newly awakened Soul Masters!
Later, the scene shifted, still in Notting City, but now it was midday.
In the footage, Yu Xiaogang was returning to Notting Academy after some unknown errand in Notting City.
At the entrance of the academy, he happened to see an elderly man dressed in a gray-brown long robe, leaning on a cane, and a young boy in blue clothes, with leather cuffs and a bracer, both preparing to enter Notting Academy.
In front of them stood an extremely arrogant doorman.
This was, of course, the iconic scene from Dou Yi, where Tang San and Old Jack were blocked by the doorman when they tried to enter Notting Academy.
Everything that happened after that didn't need further explanation.
When the doorman shoved Old Jack, Tang San immediately raised his wrist-mounted crossbow, ready to take action if things escalated.
Fortunately, at that moment, Yu Xiaogang stepped in.
Though Yu Xiaogang was looked down upon by the students of Notting Academy, and despite his incompetence, he was still regarded as a significant figure by the doorman due to his status as a Great Soul Master.
After Yu Xiaogang gave the doorman a pompous warning and led Tang San into the academy, the conversation shifted. Yu Xiaogang suddenly revealed that Tang San was a Twin Spirit, which made Tang San freeze up. His arm, which had the crossbow, unconsciously pointed at Yu Xiaogang.
For a moment, Tang San hesitated, but also entertained the idea of eliminating Yu Xiaogang right then and there.
However, after Yu Xiaogang made some illogical claims and somehow "proved" that Tang San had Twin Spirits, Tang San suddenly kneeled and offered to become Yu Xiaogang's disciple.
In the end, Yu Xiaogang, of course, agreed to take Tang San as his disciple.
However, for those watching in the livestream, especially those from more established forces, this scene was enough to make anyone feel a hundred different ways about the situation.
First of all, even though Yu Xiaogang's conclusion seemed to be right, the process was completely flawed!
Yes, innate soul power does correlate with the strength of a soul weapon.
But just because innate soul power and soul weapon strength are proportional, does it really mean that because Tang San's soul weapon is Blue Silver Grass, he must have an incredibly strong second spirit?
The ordinary Blue Silver Grass cannot coexist with something as powerful as the Haotian Hammer. If there was such a situation, the Haotian Hammer would have swallowed the Blue Silver Grass already!
Anyone with any real knowledge of Soul Master heritage and traditions knows that for a Soul Master to have Twin Spirits, the strength of both spirits has to be nearly equal.
Yu Xiaogang's theory is pure nonsense!
And didn't Yu Xiaogang say that he was too busy with soul weapon theory research to even teach a single class at Notting Academy?
So why is he suddenly accepting a disciple?
This is so hypocritical and full of double standards!
