Douluo Continent: Reincarnation of Huo Linfei, Illusory Lin Nebula

Chapter 12: Questioning Life!

Yu Xiaogang frowned.

Perhaps they were genuinely angry, or perhaps it was for something else entirely.

At this moment, even when she looked at Huo Linfei and Xiao Wu, her gaze was different from before.

There were a few more complaints.

"Teacher, I'm coming right now." Tang San scratched his head, not understanding why Yu Xiaogang was so angry. But as a respectful disciple, he would do whatever his master said.

"Xiao Wu, I'm leaving now." Tang San said to Xiao Wu before turning and leaving. He wanted to leave too; if he stayed any longer, he'd be starving to death.

"Huo Linfei, how can you start a fire here? What if it causes a fire?" Yu Xiaogang said irritably.

"These fires are my soul skills, I can control them freely, don't worry," Huo Linfei said with a light laugh.

Yu Xiaogang was not satisfied with Huo Linfei's attitude. She stared at Huo Linfei with a serious expression.

"Don't do that again!"

"What you've done could jeopardize the academy, and I have the right to discipline you!"

"Sorry, sorry! I won't do it again!" Huo Linfei said repeatedly. Ultimately, starting a fire carelessly is indeed a bad thing. Even if this is a fantasy world.

Secondly, he didn't want to argue with Yu Xiaogang here.

Seeing that Huo Linfei was about to leave, Yu Xiaogang called out to him again, "Huo Linfei, didn't you just say that you already have a soul skill? When did you acquire your soul ring?"

"Not long ago," Huo Linfei replied casually.

Then, to Yu Xiaogang's astonishment, he rode the "Phantom Scale" into the air.

"Hiss!" Yu Xiaogang couldn't hide the surprise on her face and subconsciously swallowed.

But then, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and his brows furrowed.

"Could this be Huo Linfei's soul skill?"

"That's Huo Linfei's 'Phantom Swiftness,' not some kind of soul skill, what a bumpkin!" Xiao Wu clapped her hands and left the scene.

Yu Xiaogang was completely bewildered.

He stared blankly at Xiao Wu's back.

Earth...earth turtle?

Is this referring to him?

I, Yu Xiaogang, was once the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, but now I've been reduced to being called a bumpkin...

"Teacher, please don't be angry. Xiao Wu... she's just a bit straightforward," Tang San said, trying to help Xiao Wu.

Yu Xiaogang's face was somewhat dark, and she was more or less angry.

Straightforward?

Does that mean you also think I'm a country bumpkin?

However, since Tang San was still around, it wasn't appropriate to show a bad side.

But he still had to say what needed to be said.

"Mistress, you possess unparalleled talent; you mustn't waste your time on other things! What happened today must never happen again!"

"Also, try to avoid associating with Huo Linfei and Xiao Wu from now on!"

"Why?" Tang San asked, somewhat confused.

If it were just Huo Linfei, it wouldn't be a big deal, but being with a cute girl like Xiao Wu, he could feel his mood becoming more pleasant.

"Although Huo Linfei and Xiao Wu are both born with full soul power, they are not ambitious and just spend their days idly, and they don't cultivate at night."

"If this continues, you'll end up as an ordinary person. You'll be from two completely different worlds."

Yu Xiaogang spoke with great certainty and a serious expression, leaving Tang San at a loss for words to refute her.

After all, what Yu Xiaogang said are facts that are currently happening.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Come back with me, and I'll teach you myself."

Yu Xiaogang turned and left.

Seeing this, Tang San quickly followed. Thinking of what had happened to Huo Linfei, he couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher, is it possible for a Soul Master to absorb a Soul Ring older than 423 years as their first Soul Ring?"

He dared not say that Huo Linfei's first spirit ring was five or six hundred years old.

That's too absurd.

However, the soul power fluctuations on Huo Linfei's soul ring were indeed much stronger than his.

"That's impossible!" Yu Xiaogang said decisively and firmly, "My research is the most accurate! The limit for a Soul Master's first Soul Ring is 423 years! Beyond that limit, the Soul Master will only face death!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San nodded.

Yu Xiaogang's certainty dispelled his previous doubts.

But Yu Xiaogang frowned.

Tang San had previously been very convinced of his theories, so why did he begin to doubt them after such a short time?

"Mistress, did someone say something to you?"

Tang San pondered for a moment and said, "Teacher, Huo Linfei said that his spirit ring is a five- or six-hundred-year-old Crimson Flame Dragon. This age limit was told to him by the people of the Spirit Hall."

"A five- or six-hundred-year-old Crimson Fire Dragon?" Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened suddenly, then she shook her head decisively, saying with absolute certainty, "That's impossible!"

"It's likely that the people from the Spirit Hall couldn't accurately determine the age of the Crimson Flame Dragon, so they just said it casually."

"But I can definitely feel that the soul power fluctuations emitted by Huo Linfei's soul ring are stronger than mine..." Tang San's eyes flashed, and his voice grew lower and lower.

"Hehe..." Yu Xiaogang's lips curled up slightly as she chuckled, "Little San, that's because the Crimson Flame Dragon itself is a more powerful being than the Mandala Serpent, which is why it has such an effect."

"Even a Crimson Flame Dragon that is over three hundred years old is stronger than a Mandala Serpent that is four hundred years old."

"This is a difference in the types of soul beasts, an unchangeable fact."

Tang San's eyes lit up.

Yup!

How come I didn't think of that?

Indeed, I still need to study the theory of martial spirits properly with my teacher, otherwise it would be very embarrassing if I encountered such a thing again in the future.

Tang San grinned, regaining his previous excitement, and at the same time, he became even more convinced of Yu Xiaogang's theory.

Furthermore, they were even more amazed by Yu Xiaogang's extensive knowledge.

He truly deserves to be called the "number one" in theoretical studies in the world of Soul Masters!

He is hailed as a "master"!

however.

What Tang San didn't know was that Yu Xiaogang was now harboring some doubts.

impossible?

A five- or six-hundred-year-old Crimson Flame Dragon, its first spirit ring?

That's absolutely impossible!

Yes! The Spirit Hall must have made a mistake!

That must be it! Absolutely!

The theoretical knowledge I've developed cannot possibly be wrong!
