Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Golden Dragon, Tang San's adoptive father

Chapter 86 Don't Underestimate the Poor Middle-Aged

Looking at Gangzi, who was crying his eyes out, Lin Feng was somewhat taken aback. He never expected that Gangzi would be willing to sell his dignity to break through to level 30. It seemed that he truly had a heart set on becoming stronger. However, Lin Feng wondered if Gangzi had lost his mind, actually believing that the value he brought to him was greater than a magical herb. "Too eager to improve?"

"Gangzi, you are the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

"You had so many opportunities to improve before, but you couldn't seize them. I really can't help you anymore!"

Lin Feng shook his head and rejected Gangzi's request to become stronger without hesitation. Gangzi, do you even deserve to use the phrase "I want to improve too much"?

This statement is quite appropriate for Xiao San, but it is a bit unreasonable to use it on Gangzi. If Lin Feng remembers correctly, after Gangzi awakened the Luo Sanpao Martial Soul, his father Yu Yuanzhen did not give up hope on him. Instead, he spent a lot of the sect's resources to help him cultivate. Under normal circumstances, with such superior resources and conditions, even a pig could take off, but Gangzi crashed!

When Gangzi broke through to the tenth level of soul power, he betrayed his father, Yu Yuanzhen. Instead of absorbing a soul ring that was compatible with his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul, he insisted on his own martial soul theory and forced Luo Sanpao to absorb a soul ring from a poisonous beast. This resulted in Luo Sanpao acquiring the useless farting soul skill, making him a laughingstock of the sect. But that wasn't all. After becoming a laughingstock, Gangzi betrayed his father a second time by abandoning the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and declaring that the family had no connection to him whatsoever. What a wicked child! What a wicked child!

Even his own father betrayed him so easily; Lin Feng couldn't imagine who in this world wouldn't be betrayed by Gangzi. Hearing his request to become stronger being rejected, Gangzi's expression changed, but he quickly recovered as if he had expected it. He then sighed deeply and said with great pain, "Lin Feng, if you're willing to help me break through to level 30, I can give you all the martial spirit theories I've researched my whole life, without reservation!"

As Gangzi spoke, he pulled a worn, yellowed notebook from his pocket. "This notebook is the culmination of my life's work. It records the ten core competencies of martial souls that I published, which have had a profound impact on the world of soul masters."

"Among them is the earth-shattering theory of martial souls: there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters. To be honest, it was through this theory that I met Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall!"

Gangzi touched the yellowed notebook and said proudly to Lin Feng, "Back when I met Bibi Dong in Coconut Grove City, I won her heart with my theory that there are no useless spirits, only useless spirit masters. If Lin Feng hadn't possessed my method to break through to level 30, I would never have offered my spirit theory in exchange."

Seeing that Gangzi was actually bringing up his past with Bibi Dong in order to get his help to break through level 30, Lin Feng was quite surprised. "Gangzi, compared to your martial soul theory, I'd actually rather see some of the things recorded in your notebook about your past with Bibi Dong."

"I wouldn't even dare to look at your bullshit theories about martial spirits!"

After saying this, Lin Feng ignored Gangzi and turned to leave the room. Xiao San and the others were still waiting for him; how could he waste so much time with this good-for-nothing Gangzi? If Gangzi's notebook contained some secrets about Bibi Dong, he might actually be interested in taking a look. But unexpectedly, it contained his own pile of Martial Soul Theory, which even a dog wouldn't bother with. Wasn't that just polluting his eyes? On the other hand, seeing Lin Feng so insulting his work on Martial Soul Theory, Gangzi immediately turned red-eyed and panted heavily. However, considering that this was a matter of great importance—whether he could break through to level 30 and become a strong person in the future—Gangzi ultimately suppressed his anger. Just as Lin Feng was about to step out of the room, he lunged forward and tightly hugged Lin Feng's leg. "Lin Feng, although you rejected my Martial Soul Theory, I have a woman you can't refuse—my cousin, Erlong."

"Erlong just told me that she's willing to give me everything, so I can make Erlong your maid!"

With bloodshot eyes and near-madness, Gangzi shouted, "Beast!" He was willing to do anything to become stronger.

Hearing Gangzi utter such outrageous words, Lin Feng slapped him across the face. "That's your cousin! Blood is thicker than water, flesh is connected! Besides, she's devoted to you! How could you bear to betray her? Gangzi, you're worse than an animal!" At this moment, Gangzi covered his throbbing right cheek, descending into madness. He abruptly stood up, pointing his right finger at Lin Feng, and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't underestimate the poor in middle age!"

"Lin Feng, do you dare to make a one-year agreement with this master?!"

?

Hearing these familiar lines, Lin Feng was completely dumbfounded. What the heck? Gangzi was planning to follow Xiao Yan's example and give himself a one-year agreement too?

"I'll be waiting for you in Wuhun City at the Soul Master Tournament a year from now. If you can defeat the team I've coached, I, Yu Xiaogang, will be your slave for life, at your mercy."

"If the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's Royal Fighting Team, which you've been coaching, loses, then help me break through the level 30 bottleneck that has plagued me my entire life!"

Before Lin Feng could react, Gangzi continued, "I thought that with my guidance on spirit theory, Shrek Academy's students would have no problem defeating Heaven Dou Royal Academy. But I didn't expect Shrek's students to be so weak, unable to even beat two children. They're all useless. As a spirit theory master, I simply can't lead them. So, I can only go find that woman. With my status as a spirit theory master, guiding the Spirit Hall team is no problem at all. As the strongest team on the entire continent, defeating Lin Feng's Royal Academy team is no pressure whatsoever. On the day of the Soul Master Competition finals, I will definitely take back everything that belongs to me!"

Hearing Gangzi's confident words, Lin Feng immediately guessed that he was planning to go find Bibi Dong and wreak havoc on her Spirit Hall team. For him, this was simply a good thing.
