Chapter 16: The Demeanor of a "Grandmaster," Incomparably "Wise"
"Teacher Yu" was the name Tang Shan used for Yu Xiaogang after repeated deliberation.
As for the so-called Master Yu, I am very sorry, but Tang Shan truly could not bring himself to call someone a Grandmaster who had made no theoretical contributions and had no other highlights besides splicing together some data.
However, Tang Shan still greatly overestimated someone's thick-skinned nature.
"Since you called me teacher, I will not live up to your title. Tell me, what is your Spirit? Let me plan your future path of Cultivate."
Su Yuntao, who had been sitting to the side listening to the conversation between the two, was already dumbfounded. How could a person be so shameless?
Su Haichao, who had been watching his son handle this independently, also felt it was extremely absurd.
You came running over, all smiles, and immediately said you wanted to take my son as a Disciple, which is fine, but until now, you, an elder, haven't even figured out my son's Spirit.
How absurd can one be?
Tang Shan also felt he had seen it all, but he quickly reacted.
"My Spirit is a Body Martial Soul, my entire body."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened, his expression indescribably strange.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his eyes filled with ecstasy, and then, inexplicably, a confident aura appeared on his body.
"Good, good, good. I never expected that I would encounter twin spirits in this small Nuoding City. It seems I must be persistent for once."
The inexplicably familiar language made the corner of Tang Shan's mouth, who was waiting for the other party to make some "earth-shattering statement," twitch uncontrollably. After hesitating for a moment, he asked somewhat tentatively, "What do you mean?"
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang, filled with a confident aura and with "wise" light flashing in his eyes, stood with his hands behind his back, chest puffed out, and spoke without hesitation.
"According to the 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls' I researched, a weak Spirit cannot possibly have high Innate Soul Power. Since your Spirit is a Body Martial Soul, a famous trash Spirit, then there must be a stronger Spirit that granted you Innately Full Spirit Power."
After speaking, the "Grandmaster" even paused pretentiously before continuing.
"I know your thoughts. Based on the philosophy that a tree standing tall in a forest will be destroyed by the wind, you hid this child's talent. This is indeed advisable, but you never expected to meet me."
As he spoke, his chin lifted slightly, carrying a sense of pride.
"With my world-shocking wisdom, I have long seen through the truth hidden under the heavy mist. Now, you should no longer doubt my knowledge, right? Tang Shan, I will give you a chance. Become my Disciple now, and I can not only take you to see the scenery at the peak of the continent, but also help you get the cultivation method for twin spirits. No one is more suitable to be your teacher than me!"
He said the last words with force, ringing in the ears and lingering for a long time.
As the voice dissipated, the whole room fell into a brief silence.
Su Yuntao and his father Su Haichao were a bit confused by the massive amount of information in the other party's words, while Tang Shan himself did not know where to start refuting the loopholes in the other party's words.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the three people who had fallen into silence, his mood, which had been depressed because of the Grandmaster title, improved a lot.
Sure enough, my theory is correct. What kind of inexplicable Grandmaster? They don't understand Spirit research at all.
"This Teacher Yu."
Su Yuntao, who couldn't hold back first, spoke awkwardly.
He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him cautiously, for fear that if he said something wrong, the other party would collapse directly in his home. He had also heard his father talk about this person's background. If something really happened, their Family would not be able to explain it to the Spirit Hall.
Now the other party's eyes were bloodshot, his face flushed, and he felt a bit overly excited.
"Ahem..."
Brother Tao cleared his throat, looking serious.
"My little brother does only have one Spirit, and it is indeed a Body Martial Soul, and it is indeed spirit power. Teacher Yu, did you misunderstand something?"
"That's impossible. Rest assured, I will never pass on false information."
Hearing that his guess was wrong, Yu Xiaogang denied it without hesitation, but he looked carefully at the expressions of the three that didn't look fake, and a bad guess arose in his heart.
Could they really be telling the truth?
"I do only have one Body Martial Soul."
Tang Shan activated his Spirit without hesitation, letting his body expand rapidly in front of everyone.
"This is my Spirit, myself."
As he spoke, he stretched his left and right hands in front of Yu Xiaogang.
"Look, there is no Spirit imprint representing a Spirit on the back of either hand."
Then he pointed to his forehead.
"The Spirit imprint of my Body Martial Soul is on my forehead. It can be manifested or retracted."
As he spoke, a coin-sized human figure, drawn like a simple sketch, appeared on Tang Shan's forehead.
Yu Xiaogang, who was speechless, hesitated for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands.
"I understand. Little Shan, you must have another Spirit, it's just not awakened yet. You can choose to become my Disciple, and I can find a way to help you awaken your second Spirit."
Good heavens, Tang Shan was truly stunned by this "Grandmaster's" absurd theory. He really just holds onto his own theory, this kind of person is really...
"Forget it, I understand what you mean. It seems we really have no fate. My true Disciple may still be in the future, so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
"Master Yu" didn't know what he had imagined again. He had an expression of extreme regret, shook his head, carried his hands behind his back, and walked towards the door, swaying.
"Teacher Yu, I will see you off."
Su Haichao, who had been silent all along, showed his presence at this time. After sending the other party to the door, he came back.
Listening to the door closing behind him, Yu Xiaogang didn't care at all. He kept an expression of "not appreciating kindness," and waited until he turned a corner before he let out a sigh of relief.
"What kind of broken Body Martial Soul? It doesn't deserve to be my Disciple. Fortunately, I am smart enough to make them unable to react and say there is some unawakened Spirit, fooling them. Otherwise, if Tang Shan really became my Disciple and he didn't become talented, what would happen? That would be bad for my reputation."
Yu Xiaogang considered himself a smart person. Since the whole Family confirmed that there was only one Spirit, and based on his penetrating observation that they were indeed not lying, why stay there?
A trash Body Martial Soul, even with Innately Full Spirit Power, what kind of development can there be?
It can only be said that the kid is lucky, having excellent luck Awakening Innately Full Spirit Power. If this talent were given to me, how good it would be.
Thinking about it, our "Master Yu's" eyes were filled with uncontrollable jealousy.
He never thought about whether his theory had problems. He was the incomparably wise Yu Xiaogang. How could the theory be wrong? Even after he had read the currently issued "Five Treatises on Martial Souls," he still thought so.
People are different and cannot be generalized. There will definitely be people who awaken a trash Spirit and a top-tier Spirit as twin spirits, it's just that he hasn't encountered one yet.
I want to use that trash Spirit Master to tell everyone on the continent that there are no trash Spirits, only trash Spirit Masters.
At home, the father and son trio looked at each other, falling into a brief silence.
"Pfft!"
Su Yuntao suddenly remembered something and couldn't help laughing. He patted Tang Shan's thigh while laughing out loud.
"Little Shan, hahaha! Little Shan... little brother, I never thought this 'Grandmaster' would give you such a nickname."
A trace of a smile appeared on Su Haichao's face as well. The other party's form of address before leaving really stunned him.
Tang Shan was also speechless. Not to mention the inexplicable "Little Shan" from a certain "Grandmaster" when he left, this ability to climb the pole was far beyond his reach. The "no fate" in the final words made him feel a chill.
No, you know how to use idioms. You even used "no fate." This is our first time meeting, right?
Could it be that the saying "proper fitness attracts the opposite sex, excessive fitness attracts the same sex" is true?
Tang Shan looked at himself hesitantly, then at his big brother. His big brother had recently tried to accept Sisi, obviously showing no such signs. I know myself better: male gender, likes women.
Besides, I'm only a six-year-old child. One cannot, at least one should not.
Having finally cast aside the shadow brought by someone, Su Haichao remembered something and looked at Tang Shan.
"Shan Zi, your Spirit has been reported. Bishop Salas asked if you want to study at the Spirit Academy."
Tang Shan thought for a while and shook his head.
"I haven't considered that far yet. Let's wait until I hunt my first spirit ring before discussing this matter."
Su Haichao nodded slightly and continued, "These days, many high-level officials of the Spirit Hall have asked if there is a 'the sixth treatise on martial souls.' Shan Zi, what do you say? Are you focusing on cultivation or continuing to maintain the identity of the Grandmaster?"
"Still maintain it for a few years and see. Anyway, it won't waste much time. I already have inspiration for the sixth treatise."
A hint of malicious intent hung on Tang Shan's face. Recalling someone saying "trash Spirit" over and over, he couldn't help but get angry.
Hindered by a certain mentally ill Holy Maiden, I can't criticize you to your face, but what does it have to do with you if I put on a mask and publish theories? It just happened to refute your theory on trash Spirits. If you are angry yourself, it has nothing to do with me.
Back in his room, Tang Shan felt that his state was at its peak. He didn't know if it was because of the "Grandmaster's" stimulation, but he only felt his thoughts flowing like a spring.
A sweeping "the sixth treatise on martial souls" was written by him in a short time.
"the sixth treatise on martial souls":
Today, I was reminded by an opponent and had some insights, hence this sixth treatise.
In previous descriptions, the level of Innate Soul Power is related to the quality of the Spirit itself.
Since this is the case, what if there is an Innately Full Spirit Power Blue Silver Grass or a Full spirit power Body Martial Soul?
I speculate that such Spirits are not trash Spirits in the true sense, but just like the awakened Innate Soul Power, they possess extremely high potential, but have not found the appropriate way to Cultivate and develop them.
I won't discuss the Body Martial Soul for now, I can only say the future is promising, it just lacks the correct way of cultivation. I will take Blue Silver Grass as an example.
When traveling across the continent, I encountered a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast whose body was actually Blue Silver Grass. It was the emperor among Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Emperor.
Therefore, I speculate that if a Spirit Master awakens full spirit power Blue Silver Grass, it is by no means a trash Spirit, and it is very likely to be a Blue Silver Emperor with terrifying vitality...
