Chapter 64 Lu Ming Humiliates Yu Xiaogang! "Useless Master, utter nonsense!"
In a corner of the audience, Dugu Yan, wearing a veil, also had her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
"So strong!"
She exclaimed in genuine admiration.
But then, a doubt arose in my mind.
"This person... seems vaguely familiar."
She tilted her head, carefully examining Lu Ming's figure and demeanor, feeling as if she had seen him somewhere before.
A thought suddenly popped into her mind uncontrollably.
Could it be the group admin?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Dugu Yan's cheeks flushed bright red.
"Why...why am I thinking about that person again!"
She quickly shook her head, banishing the absurd idea from her mind.
"Impossible!"
"The group leader is unfathomable. His strength is probably much greater than my grandfather's, and his character is so noble that he is like a god."
"Although the captain of the Blue Tyrant team is exceptionally talented and incredibly powerful, he is still far inferior to the group leader."
Dugu Yan quickly rejected the idea in her mind.
In her view, the group leader, who was elusive and could cure her family's generations-old poison with a wave of his hand, could not possibly be the young man standing in front of everyone.
"Blue Tyrant Academy Team wins!"
The referee's loud voice brought everyone back to reality.
Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Lu Ming calmly turned around and led Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing off the Soul Battle Stage.
"Well done, Xiaoming!"
Liu Erlong came forward, his face filled with undisguised pride and joy.
Lu Ming nodded slightly in response.
However, at that moment, an uninvited group of guests blocked their way.
Yu Xiaogang led the Shrek Academy students over.
A stiff smile hung on his face.
"Erlong, congratulations."
When Liu Erlong saw Yu Xiaogang, the smile on his face faded a bit, and he simply responded with a flat "yes".
"Um."
After a brief interaction, Yu Xiaogang's gaze turned intensely to Lu Ming.
He cleared his throat and spoke to Liu Erlong in what he thought was a very amiable tone.
"Erlong, Lu Ming's potential is truly astonishing."
"I think he's an exceptional talent, one in a million. I'd like to... have him become my apprentice. What do you think?"
Greed and desire gleamed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
After witnessing firsthand Lu Ming's 30,000-year soul ring that broke the ironclad rules, and his terrifying strength in instantly killing seven Soul Masters.
The shock he felt at the overturning of his theory quickly transformed into a strong possessiveness.
If he could take such a monster as his disciple, then Yu Xiaogang's reputation would surely resound throughout the entire continent!
At that time, who would dare to question his theory?
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong frowned almost imperceptibly.
She glanced at Lu Ming, who had no expression on his face, and said slowly.
"This matter depends on Xiaoming's own opinion."
"That's natural."
Yu Xiaogang nodded confidently.
In his view, no Soul Master in the world could resist the temptation to become his disciple, the "Number One Theoretical Master on the Continent".
He turned to Lu Ming, straightened his back, and adopted a superior posture.
"Young man, I am Yu Xiaogang, the number one theoretical master in the martial spirit world."
"Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Upon hearing this, the Shrek members all wore expressions of complete acceptance.
Tang San's mind raced with thoughts.
He didn't expect that his teacher would want to take on another apprentice.
But it's all good. If Lu Ming agrees, he'll be my junior brother from now on.
With the teacher's guidance and my own discipline, he should be able to curb his arrogance and be of use to me in the future.
All eyes were on Lu Ming, awaiting his excited and impassioned reply.
However, Lu Ming only glanced at Yu Xiaogang indifferently.
"Unwilling."
Two words, clear, decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
The air seemed to freeze in that instant.
Yu Xiaogang's confident smile instantly froze.
He stared blankly at Lu Ming, wondering if he had misheard.
"What...what did you say?"
"I refuse."
Lu Ming repeated himself, his tone as calm as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned a deep liver color.
He felt his dignity had been trampled into the ground.
"Why?!"
He practically yelled it out.
"Can you give me a reason?!"
Lu Ming's eyes finally showed a ripple of pity, as if looking at a clown.
"reason?"
"You are not fit to be my teacher."
"Your so-called theories are all wrong."
"Moreover, it was completely wrong."
boom!
These words, like thunderclaps, exploded in Yu Xiaogang's mind!
He was completely stunned, his eyes wide open, his body trembling uncontrollably with extreme anger.
Unworthy?
Is the theory wrong?
Completely wrong?!
The theory that Yu Xiaogang painstakingly researched throughout his life is his greatest pride and the foundation upon which he stands in the world of Soul Masters!
Now, they've been belittled to the point of being worthless by a fifteen-year-old boy!
"You! You're talking nonsense!"
Yu Xiaogang completely broke down, his finger trembling as he pointed at Lu Ming.
"You've gone too far!"
Tang San took a step forward, glaring angrily at Lu Ming.
"My teacher's theories are a treasure of the Martial Soul world! How dare you slander them like this!"
Dai Mubai also snorted coldly.
"You arrogant brat, have you become so conceited after winning just one game?"
Flander looked at Liu Erlong with even greater anguish.
"Second Sister, look at him! Lu Ming is so arrogant! He's utterly shameless!"
Liu Erlong was caught in a dilemma.
Although deep down, she had some doubts about some of Yu Xiaogang's theories.
But Lu Ming's ruthless criticism in front of so many people really left her bewildered.
Only Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong stood leisurely to the side.
They didn't have a good impression of Yu Xiaogang to begin with, but they still respected his reputation as a theoretical master.
At this moment, they were all very curious about how Lu Ming would prove his words.
"Apologize to me!"
Yu Xiaogang, panting heavily, stared intently at Lu Ming and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Apologize to me immediately for your arrogance and ignorance!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Apologize?"
"I'm stating the facts, why should I apologize?"
He met Yu Xiaogang's murderous gaze and said calmly.
"Leaving aside distant matters, just take the cultivation path of Blue Silver Grass as an example. Your theory is utterly wrong."
When his professional field was mentioned, Yu Xiaogang instantly regained some confidence. He straightened his chest and spoke proudly.
"Blue Silver Grass is universally recognized as a useless martial soul, there is no doubt about that!"
But according to my research, its core characteristics lie in its unwavering resilience and keen perception.
Therefore, I believe that the most mainstream and correct cultivation path is that of a control-type Soul Master!
"Nonsense!" Lu Ming exclaimed.
