"Huh? It wasn't to provoke him?"
Zhuge Lan feigned ignorance, saying—
"Then hurry up and do something drastic, otherwise his condition..."
"...he might really become a vegetable."
"That serious?" Flender frowned. "From what I know of Little Gang, he should be..."
A word to the wise is enough.
[Emotion Points +44444]
Yu Xiaogang was trembling with anger!
Is he really going to say everything out loud?
"Are you more familiar with his condition than I am?"
Zhuge Lan said anxiously—
"Although he opened his eyes just now, it was just a neurological reflex, like a final flash of life!"
"If you delay any longer and miss the best time for treatment, he really won't wake up!"
"I was just having an academic discussion with him, I didn't want to anger someone to death!"
"It doesn't matter if he kicks the bucket, I still have a bright future!"
"Wouldn't this become a stain on my reputation?"
The way you put it...
Crude but true.
[Emotion Points +55555]
Yu Xiaogang wanted to jump up and argue with Zhuge Lan!
Was that an academic discussion just now?
You're more volcanic than a volcano!
Being humble now?
"Really?" Flender asked dubiously, "Then I'll give it a try?"
"Yes! Hurry!" Zhuge Lan urged, "Just pick the most provocative things to say! Don't hold back, you're saving him!"
Flender pursed his lips and organized his thoughts.
Also giving Yu Xiaogang time to react—if you know what's good for you, get up yourself.
Otherwise...
He could only use this opportunity to really give him a piece of his mind!
—The professionals have spoken, this is all to save you!
But Yu Xiaogang couldn't read minds and didn't understand Flender's good intentions.
Then...
Flender took a deep breath, don't blame your old friend!
"Little Gang, ah."
"Why did a perfectly good young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan run away from home?"
[Emotion Points +44444]
"I've long felt that your Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls theory was too shallow, just common sense."
"But out of brotherly affection, I didn't want to embarrass you."
"Now I'm telling you—your theory is utter garbage!"
[Emotion Points +99999]
"And your relationship with Pope Bibi Dong, on the one hand, you hate the Spirit Hall, and on the other hand, you use the elder token they gave you to seek benefits for yourself everywhere?"
"How dare you take the records from the Spirit Hall's library as your own and publish them as your theory?"
"The main thing is that you didn't even pick anything profound, just published ten common sense points."
"Is it because your level is too low, so you can only understand these things?"
[Emotion Points +119119]
"You keep saying you want to prove your theory, but you refuse to accept disciples with ordinary talent."
"Your theory is for ordinary soul masters, is it reasonable to find a mistress with innate full soul power like Little San?"
"Little San was born with full soul power, destined to be extraordinary in the future, even if he grows up, how much of it will be due to your guidance?"
[Emotion Points +110110]
Flender was really getting carried away.
After finishing the obvious flaws, he started revealing dark secrets!
"Little Gang ah, your soul master theory is too lacking in evidence!"
"Did you know that ten-thousand-year-old and above soul rings have soul tremors."
"This is common sense that all high-level soul masters know, but you don't even mention it in your book."
"I used to think you felt that everyone knew it, so there was no need to say it."
"But you even turned martial soul classification into a theory..."
"Looks like you really didn't know?"
[Emotion Points +120120]
"Let's talk about relationships, how dare you compete with me for Erlong after just breaking up with Bibi Dong?"
"Aren't you a theory master, how could you not guess that Erlong's Fire Dragon martial soul was also from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family?"
"Even if that's the case, you ran away by yourself after finding out Erlong was your cousin?"
"Where is your responsibility as a man?"
"Look at you now, are you worthy of Erlong?"
[Emotion Points +155555]
Flender was about to continue speaking—
"Enough!"
Yu Xiaogang finally couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly sat up!
Glaring at Flender!
"Flender!"
"So in your eyes, I'm such a worthless person?"
Flender was silent for a moment.
Then, he said with joy: "Little Gang, you're awake! You were almost a vegetable just now, I was just trying to save you—"
Yu Xiaogang didn't take the offered olive branch at all.
He scolded—
"Stop pretending!"
"Since you, Flender, don't welcome me, then I'll leave!"
"From now on, you take your narrow path, and I'll take my broad road!"
"We're breaking off all ties!"
He stood up and walked out of the school, even bumping Flender's shoulder as he passed.
—So childish.
But...
Yu Xiaogang didn't realize the gap between a Soul Grandmaster and a Soul Sage at all.
"Bang!"
Flender didn't move an inch.
Yu Xiaogang only felt like he had bumped into a rock, and his entire shoulder was numb!
He looked at Flender in disbelief, meeting a pair of disappointed eyes.
"Little Gang, you're too childish." Flender said calmly, "Since your talent isn't good, you should accept reality, wouldn't it be better to be an ordinary person?"
Yu Xiaogang: m9(`Д)
"Alright." Flender interrupted Yu Xiaogang's incantation: "Now that things have come to this, it's fine to go our separate ways."
He looked at Tang San.
"Little San, your teacher is leaving, are you leaving with him, or continuing to stay here?"
Yu Xiaogang quickly looked over.
Although Tang San had "stabbed him in the back" just now.
But...
As the only disciple who could put his theory into practice, Yu Xiaogang decided to forgive him this time.
He tried to soften his stiff face, forcing a magnanimous smile—
"Little San, teacher won't blame you for what happened before."
"Follow teacher, and teacher will lead you to become a Title Douluo!"
Saying that.
He proudly raised his head, full of confidence.
—Isn't it normal for the son of the Haotian Douluo to start as a Title Douluo?
But...
Tang San was unmoved.
Now in his heart, it was all about Zhuge Lan's "God Ancestor"—everyone has the same conditions, why can't I become a God?
Who cares about a mere Title Douluo?
Even Tang San, who was as stubborn as an old mule, and whose respect for his teacher was ingrained in his bones.
Under the temptation of becoming a God, he still made a decision to betray his teacher.
"Teacher, don't force me, okay?"
Tang San said painfully—
"Although I've only been at Shrek for a few days, this place feels as warm as home."
"There are like-minded classmates, goals for me to pursue, and an excellent learning environment."
"I..."
"I'm sorry!"
The way he said it.
Even Zhuge Lan was stunned.
Although I knew you were a hypocrite, I didn't expect you to be so fake!
He was originally thinking.
If Tang San wanted to run away, he would come forward to persuade Yu Xiaogang to stay.
—How could he sit idly by while the three major experience monsters ran away?
Don't look at Yu Xiaogang being red-faced right now, but there are still many ways to persuade him to stay.
Better theories.
Better practical carriers.
Even allowing his martial soul to fully evolve.
But...
Tang San, such a "respectful" martial arts practitioner, actually betrayed his master?
Ah, that's right!
This guy dared to steal the inner sect's skills in his previous life's Tang Sect.
There's a precedent for this.
Then it's fine.
What Zhuge Lan was more curious about was—
How would Yu Xiaogang respond to Tang San's second backstab?
