Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 171 How dare a mere little fire snake touch my granddaughter?
Yu Tianheng jolted awake, finally snapping out of his daze. "Um, Uncle probably didn't mean that."

"you shut up!"

Liu Erlong gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing his anger, and looked at Ling Qianyao and the others, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, I have some things to take care of."

Ye Lingling stepped forward at this moment, her voice very gentle, "Tianheng, do you really think that joining Shrek Academy will greatly improve your personal development?"

Is your uncle really that amazing?

"Of course," Liu Erlong interrupted before Yu Tianheng could speak, putting his hands on his hips and saying proudly, "Don't underestimate Xiao Gang. He's a master of theory, and his research on martial spirits is incredibly thorough."

He could talk fluently about everything from martial soul fusion skills to soul ring combinations, and he had personally guided many students, enabling them to make rapid progress in their strength.

Furthermore, his theory that "there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters" rekindled hope for countless soul masters and changed their cultivation path.

"The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls" encapsulates the essence of his years of research on Martial Souls, covering the origin, evolution, mutation, and characteristics and advantages of various Martial Souls in different environments.

The book not only contains theoretical explanations but also numerous practical case studies; it is the culmination of a scholar's painstaking efforts and remarkable wisdom!

She was beaming with pride, praising Yu Xiaogang to the skies.

"Pfft—" Dugu Yan chuckled softly.

Liu Erlong raised an eyebrow. "What are you laughing at?"

Dugu Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery. Her grandfather was Dugu Bo, and he wouldn't be intimidated by Liu Erlong's aura.

"Dean Liu, you've made Master Yu sound so amazing, but according to my grandfather, this theoretical master of the Soul Master world is just a nickname given to this former young sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan by various forces."

The so-called "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls" are nothing more than a product of summarizing the experience of predecessors, and many of them are riddled with errors and omissions.

Furthermore, the students he mentored made rapid progress in their skills, which may be due to their own exceptional talent and have little to do with his theories.

After all, I've heard that this master is someone who's stuck at level 29 his entire life, unable to break through to the Soul Master level.

"Yu Tianheng, you're truly blessed to be learning from your uncle."

"You, you, you!" Liu Erlong was so angry that he trembled all over. His finger pointing at Dugu Yan was shaking, and his eyes were wide open, as if his anger was about to burst out.

Although she was furious when Yu Tianheng revealed that Yu Xiaogang had told her he wanted to find many women to carry on his bloodline, she, being a love-struck person, was still very loyal to this relationship.

He immediately yelled at Dugu Yan, "You little brat, what do you know! Xiao Gang may have limited talent, but his wisdom and theoretical knowledge are unmatched by countless others!"

"Tch," Dugu Yan curled her lip, "Then what are those ten theories?"

"Hmph," Liu Erlong decided to open Dugu Yan's eyes. He thought back to when he heard the Ten Theories, he was amazed. This brat would definitely be impressed too.

"Then listen carefully. First, the size of one's innate soul power is directly proportional to the quality of one's martial soul."

Dugu Yan waved her hand, "Are all the three upper sects with top-tier martial souls born with full soul power? If we're talking about universality, isn't this a consensus in the soul master world? What theory are you talking about?"

Ling Qianyao echoed, "Tang San seems to have the useless martial soul Blue Silver Grass, but he has innate full soul power, hmm."

Liu Erlong's expression changed. Just as he was about to say something more, he realized that the remaining theories seemed to be things that were generally known in the Soul Master world.

After much deliberation, she chose one of them and said through gritted teeth, "What about the theory of spirit mimicry? Plant-type spirit masters can absorb beast-type spirit rings, and vice versa."

Xiao San is a perfect example. Keep in mind, he's only 13 years old and already level 36, with two spirit rings both from beast-type spirit beasts.

Ling Qianyao shook his head. "Dean Liu, are you awake?" "The evolution and growth of a martial soul are inherently linked to the acquisition of soul rings. The soul master world has been passed down for so many years, has no one ever explored a similar direction?"
The first priority in choosing a spirit ring is to match it with the characteristics of the spirit and the development direction of the spirit master. Who doesn't know that?

Everyone chooses a soul beast and soul ring that match their own personality.

Did Tang San's Blue Silver Grass gain significant growth after absorbing a beast-type spirit ring? After reaching the third ring, his inherent weaknesses became apparent, didn't they? His Blue Silver Grass didn't receive any enhancement despite choosing the right growth path and spirit rings early on.

Instead, the chaotic forces disrupted the Blue Silver Grass's function, causing it to show signs of decline.

Dean Liu, if I may be so blunt, Yu Xiaogang's so-called martial spirit theory is nothing more than emphasizing some principles that everyone already understands, yet he insists on packaging them as profound theories, which is utterly ridiculous.

This is a mockery and misleading of those low-level Soul Masters who are unaware of the truth.

I even suspect that many powerful forces tacitly acknowledge his status as a master, allowing him to promote his theories, with the intention of suppressing the strength of independent cultivators.

"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Erlong shouted, her face flushed and her eyes darting around. "And there's more! He has a wealth of data that precisely pinpoints the age of the spirit rings!"

Ling Qianyao gave Zhu Zhuqing a look.

The latter silently activated his martial soul, with one yellow and three purple rings, the last of which was a deep, almost black, purple soul ring.

"This..." Liu Erlong stared intently at the last dark black soul ring on Zhu Zhuqing's body, his lips trembling slightly, unable to utter a word for a moment.

More than 9000 years?

Even the last point doesn't hold water. Does Xiaogang really have no solid arguments to offer?

Dugu Yan curled her lips, "As expected, he's just a hypocrite who seeks fame and fortune. Yu Tianheng, I think he sent you here just to find a thug."

Enraged and in a state of confusion, Liu Erlong took a step forward, her soul power surging. "You brat, I've put up with you for far too long!"

As he spoke, flames erupted from his body, and he charged fiercely towards Dugu Yan at an extreme speed.

Ling Qianyao and the others' expressions changed, and they were about to make a move when several voices came from two directions in the air.

"Erlong, stop!" Yu Xiaogang was leading Tang San and the others on their way here when they saw this scene and were immediately startled. They knew that the other party was a titled Douluo grandfather.

"Second Dragon Girl!" Flander exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph! How dare you! A mere little fire snake dares to lay a hand on my granddaughter? Get out of my way!"

Suddenly, a green figure appeared in mid-air, appearing before everyone like a ghost.

The newcomer was none other than Dugu Bo. He exuded a powerful aura that made Liu Erlong feel breathless.

Dugu Bo's eyes were icy as he looked at Liu Erlong's fiery fist as it attacked. He snorted coldly and casually grabbed Liu Erlong's wrist.

Liu Erlong felt a sharp pain in his wrist, as if it were being tightly clamped by iron clamps, making it impossible for him to move.

Before she could react, Dugu Bo applied a little force, and with a "crack," Liu Erlong's arm dislocated instantly.

"Ah!" Liu Erlong screamed, cold sweat pouring down his forehead and his face turning deathly pale.

"boom--"

Dugu Bo did not stop there. He kicked Liu Erlong in the stomach, sending Liu Erlong flying like a kite with a broken string. The flames on Liu Erlong's body immediately went out.
