Chapter 333: The Correct Answer, Yu Xiaogang Admits His Hypocrisy!
Even though Yu Xiaogang didn't initially realize that there was another solution, he had been at Notting Academy for over ten years. After such a long time, he should have been able to think of something, right?
But Yu Xiaogang never did!
This made Lin Yu believe, with complete certainty, that the reason Yu Xiaogang didn't want to teach at Notting Academy, even for a single class, was not only because he wanted to protect his false reputation as a master but also because he looked down on the students at Notting Academy who had low talent and status.
With this thought in mind, after quickly answering the question on the virtual screen, Lin Yu posted his answer again.
Due to his special privileges as the host, Lin Yu's answer didn't just appear on the virtual screen again but actually replaced the previous, incomplete one.
[Lin Yu: The reason Yu Xiaogang refuses to teach at Notting Academy is not only because he is afraid of exposing his lack of true talent but also because he looks down on the students at Notting Academy who have low talent and status!]
After submitting the revised answer, Lin Yu continued to think through his reasoning, growing more confident that he was right.
Because even though Yu Xiaogang was a fraud with no real abilities, incapable of living up to his title, after all those years at the Spirit Hall, he surely had some knowledge.
In his ten-plus years at Notting Academy, if Yu Xiaogang didn't look down on the less talented and lower-status students, why hadn't he taken even one disciple to verify his theories?
Yu Xiaogang had studied soul weapon theory for so many years, and Lin Yu didn't believe he hadn't once thought about taking a disciple to test his theories.
Since he always claimed, "There are no useless soul weapons, only useless soul masters," shouldn't he at least have taken in one student at Notting Academy, someone whose talent was at least better than his own?
Yu Xiaogang could have taken in a student, trained them a little, and used them to test whether his theories were actually valid.
After all, Yu Xiaogang was a Great Soul Master, so it should have been fine for him to take in a civilian Soul Master as a disciple, especially in the first few years, before his reputation got so bad.
But Yu Xiaogang never did this. It wasn't until Tang San, a Twin Spirit with full innate soul power, came to Notting Academy that Yu Xiaogang finally pretended to take on a disciple.
But here's the problem.
Not only is having Twin Spirits rare, even having full innate soul power is a rarity on Douluo Continent.
For someone like Tang San to come to Notting Academy, Yu Xiaogang must not have expected it.
If Yu Xiaogang didn't look down on the less talented and lower-status students, why had he never taken a single disciple in the ten years, instead waiting to "pick up" Tang San?
Was he planning to take his theories to the grave?
The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more he felt disgusted by Yu Xiaogang.
He was a useless person, even more useless than anyone else, and yet he still looked down on others. It was sickening beyond words!
In Lin Yu's mind, this reasoning was almost certainly correct.
Otherwise, how could Yu Xiaogang have not thought of picking up Tang San, and why had he refused to take any disciple in the past decade if he didn't look down on the students with lower talents and status?
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have answered correctly!"
As Lin Yu became increasingly disgusted, the system's cold voice suddenly rang in his mind, notifying him that his answer was correct.
At the same time, the livestream began to announce the rewards for the correct answers.
[Hint: Lin Yu's answer: The reason Yu Xiaogang refuses to teach at Notting Academy is not only because he is afraid of exposing his lack of true talent but also because he looks down on the students at Notting Academy who have low talent and status! Correct answer!]
[Reward: Random martial arts technique x1!]
[Hint: Yu Xiaogang's answer: The reason Yu Xiaogang refuses to teach at Notting Academy is because he is afraid of exposing his lack of true mastery and doesn't want to teach the students with low talent and status at Notting Academy! Correct answer!]
[Reward: Random thousand-year soul bone x1!]
With the system's cold voice announcing the top three answers, no one in the livestream was surprised by Lin Yu's correct answer.
But when they heard that Yu Xiaogang had also answered correctly and claimed second place, the entire livestream was filled with a strange expression from many viewers.
Heh, interesting. Yu Xiaogang actually admitted his true feelings. Has he finally acknowledged his hypocrisy and shamelessness?
In the past, when Lin Yu exposed Yu Xiaogang's true nature in the livestream, Yu Xiaogang always refused to admit it and insisted that he was being slandered.
Now that he has admitted it, how will he argue his case in the future?
But this was strange. Yu Xiaogang, who was usually the most hypocritical and obsessed with face, was admitting his own hypocrisy. Wasn't this odd?
At that moment, many people in the livestream were perplexed.
Meanwhile, outside the City of Slaughter.
Yu Xiaogang, upon hearing that he had answered correctly, wasn't surprised. There was no excitement or joy, just a sense of bitterness. Though unwilling, he had no choice.
Yes, he admitted his hypocrisy.
In the past, he had always wanted to maintain his image, mostly to keep up appearances in front of certain acquaintances, including Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, and Flender.
And it turned out he wasn't wrong to do so. After all, Liu Erlong, willing to risk her life, had entered the City of Slaughter to protect him because of the persona he created for himself.
But now, to save his disciple Tang San, he had completely severed ties with Liu Erlong, and Bibi Dong had turned against him as well.
Although he still had friends like Flender, these friends had no use for him in the City of Slaughter.
Now, without the protection of Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang desperately needed power.
To strengthen his disciple Tang San, he had no choice but to admit his hypocrisy to the entire Douluo Continent in exchange for the second-place reward: the thousand-year soul bone.
He really wanted to shout out in frustration, as this would mean that, after this Q&A, his friends in the outside world, like Fei Luosi, would completely cut ties with him, and Flender would certainly do the same once he met Liu Erlong.
But for the sake of his disciple Tang San and proving himself, even if he would be alone in the future, it didn't matter.
He still had his disciple, Tang San!
Even if he had to admit his hypocrisy to the entire Douluo Continent, as long as Tang San could become a Title Douluo under his guidance, or even become a god like in the livestream, then Yu Xiaogang would make his name known across the continent!
