Chapter 89: Whoever Gets the Grandmaster Gets the World? Old Ning, Don't Make Me Laugh! Yet Emperor Xue Ye Actually Believed It!
The female characters never expected that even Tang San, this cheat-enabled guy, would have a day of failure.
Good heavens, this was truly a day worth celebrating across the land!
[Hot Girl]: Good, good, good! Tang San, oh Tang San, you finally failed at showing off! Who would've thought you'd end up losing at Sky Water Academy!
[Hot Girl]: And according to this sharp commentary, if he hadn't consumed immortal herbs, Blazing Academy could've beaten him flat!
[Bingbing Is Polite]: I… uh, Shui Bing'er, is that strong? I knew it. With an Ice Phoenix martial soul, how could she possibly lose to Blue Silver Grass?
[Needle-Tailed Swift]: I'll say it again. A soul master relying entirely on external forces in battle. Can that even count as a soul master?
[Sharp-Tailed Swift]: If it were truly based on soul master abilities and soul skills, I might even be able to deal with Tang San.
[Bingbing Is Polite]: Makes sense, makes sense! After seeing this commentary today, my mood has inexplicably improved!
[Bingbing Is Polite]: If we run into Tang San in the future, we must let him experience the strength of Sky Water Academy!
[Bibi Dong]: I see now. It seems Tang San isn't as extraordinary as imagined. He just has good luck and wins by relying on various external forces.
[Bibi Dong]: Then our Spirit Hall team only lost because of those external factors! When the competition begins, I'll establish a rule, only allowing battles using soul skills and self-created soul skills!
[Bibi Dong]: That should directly suppress Tang San!
[Calm and Peaceful]: At this point, you're still planning to let Tang San participate in the competition?
[Bibi Dong]: Oh right! Why am I even bothering with that? I'll just find Tang San before the competition and kill him!
[Bibi Dong]: It's just a pity that in this vast Douluo Continent, hiding one or two people is too easy… I can only rely on luck.
The women continued discussing. After all, none of them had expected Tang San to actually have such a day.
Whether you're Blue Silver Emperor or Blue Silver Grass, if it's not awakened, then it's trash!
A mere grass martial soul—what is there to brag about?
Everyone stared at the light screen, hoping to see even more misfortune befall Tang San.
...
On the light screen.
[After the preliminary rounds ended, there was still one month before the promotion rounds!]
[Everyone else continued special training under Yu Xiaogang. Though they called it special training, it was really just that same "exhaustion training" routine!]
[Only Tang San needed time to sort out his collapsed emotions. He himself had realized that all his previous victories relied entirely on external forces!]
[The true flaw of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul had already been exposed. No, to be precise, it had been exposed long ago but was always masked by his hidden weapon techniques!]
[Now that hidden weapons were banned in the competition, Tang San's problem surfaced!]
[A perfectly fine Blue Silver Grass martial soul, yet he insists on going down the poison attribute route. With that level of poison, it's fine for bullying the weak, but can it defeat opponents of the same level?]
[Why else is Dugu Bo considered the weakest Titled Douluo? One reason is his lower strength, but another is that poison attributes are mainly effective against weaker opponents!]
[In large-scale battles or wars, against many low-level soul masters or ordinary people, poison can sweep through enemies easily!]
[But against same-level combat soul masters, your poison can at most weaken them slightly. And then what?]
[Then they will endure the discomfort and still beat you to death!]
[Before your poison can kill them, they can rush over instantly and beat you senseless!]
[The characteristic of Blue Silver Grass is life. Tang San's mother relied on vitality to survive!]
[If Blue Silver Grass martial soul followed this path, strengthening vitality and physique, at least it could fight head-on. With high recovery and endurance, you could become a warrior-type tank!]
[Wouldn't that be far better than using such ridiculous poison?]
[It can only be said that under Yu Xiaogang's guidance, even a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass was completely ruined!]
[During Tang San's despair, Dugu Bo came to see him. Seeing his state, Dugu Bo comforted him.]
[He told Tang San that having external advantages is also part of one's strength, so there's nothing wrong with using them!]
[Then he revealed the most important secret, the true condition for the birth of twin martial souls!]
[Back when Yu Xiaogang fooled Tang San, he said that twin martial souls could be born when there is a huge difference in martial soul quality!]
[Where did he get this theory from?]
[In reality, he made it up. He just wanted to take Tang San as a disciple and casually fabricated an excuse to make himself look impressive!]
[But Dugu Bo said that in a classified record within Spirit Hall, it states that twin martial souls require similar quality but different attributes to possibly be born!]
{T/N: It should be either a similar attribute or different attributes}
[This clearly shows that Yu Xiaogang was completely making things up, because the real theory doesn't even mention large differences in martial soul quality!]
[It's not even close to the truth. His theory has no relation to reality whatsoever. If that's not fabrication, then what is?]
[Most of Yu Xiaogang's theories were taken from elsewhere anyway. And the theory Dugu Bo saw was from Spirit Hall's classified archives, something Xiaogang naturally couldn't access!]
[At this point, it would be better to call Dugu Bo the theoretical grandmaster instead!]
[So far, none of Yu Xiaogang's theories have shown any real critical value!]
[After hearing this, Tang San understood Dugu Bo's meaning—that his Blue Silver Grass martial soul was not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass martial soul!]
[And just like that, Tang San became confident again!]
[Good heavens, isn't this circle right back to Yu Xiaogang?]
[Isn't this another slap in Yu Xiaogang's face? When Blue Silver Grass martial soul was considered ordinary, you collapsed in insecurity. When you suddenly realized its true quality is high, you regained confidence!]
[Impressive!]
[Tang San, even you don't follow your teacher's theory anymore. Then who else will support your teacher?]
[I suggest that, to uphold your teacher's theory, you should never awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. Just stick with Blue Silver Grass martial soul to the end!]
[How about that? Isn't that filial? By not awakening the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, you prove your teacher's theory and let your mother remain the Blue Silver Emperor!]
[But can Tang San agree? Can he give up his own interests?]
[Mother? Teacher? Can they compare to my, Tang San's, strength?]
[At this point, it completely proves that Yu Xiaogang's theory is nothing but a joke…]
[Especially during the competition, when Shrek kept winning, Emperor Xue Ye noticed something and asked Ning Fengzhi for the reason!]
[Ning Fengzhi directly said that it was all thanks to Yu Xiaogang, all thanks to the grandmaster!]
[He even dropped a bold statement: "Whoever obtains the grandmaster obtains the world!"]
[Alright, Sect Master Ning, you're really being generous! Are you afraid the Heaven Dou Empire won't fall fast enough?]
["Whoever obtains the grandmaster obtains the world." This boast is so ridiculous it makes me laugh… What, are you going to capture him and use him to threaten Bibi Dong?]
[You know, if you play it that way, you might actually have a chance of winning!]
[It seems I was short-sighted. Sect Master Ning actually understands this. Impressive, impressive!]
