The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 168 Yu Xiaogang uses the same rhetoric again

"Teacher, I can't feel my body anymore."

As the plants gradually returned to the earth, Ma Hongjun and Yu Feng collapsed to the ground. At this moment, their bodies were covered with blood grooves and holes, making them look like blood gourds.

Even with Flanders's composure, he was startled by the shocking danger. He quickly turned to Ye Lingling, who was hiding behind the stands: "Quick! Don't just stand there like an idiot, come and treat her!"

"Oh, okay." Ye Lingling was taken aback, and quickly ran over to Ma Hongjun and Yu Feng's side.

At this moment, the referees in charge of handling unexpected situations also got busy. They carefully took Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Tailong down from the ceiling one by one and placed them next to Ma Hongjun in the center of the field.

He then turned and left. Although the Shrek team was in a bad state, no deaths had occurred, and the organizers were not responsible for treatment.

"This is so tragic!"

"Will they be able to participate in the next round of matches?"

An uproar erupted as the referee left the field; the audience hadn't expected to witness such a brutal moment in just the first match of the qualifiers.

Yu Xiaogang ignored the noise around him and stared blankly at the Shrek team lying in the center of the arena.

He hadn't expected Tang San and his group to be defeated in such a short time. This not only overturned his understanding but also left him somewhat bewildered.

Yu Xiaogang walked blankly towards the center of the arena, muttering to himself as he went, "How is this possible?"

Tang San was his most promising student, not only for his exceptional talent but also for the important task of spreading his theories. While he didn't treat the other students with the same favoritism as Tang San, he still taught them all with great care.

But how could seven people combined be defeated by Li Xun in such a short time?

"Could it be that I misjudged Li Xun's talent?" Yu Xiaogang stopped and looked down at Tang San, who was gradually waking up beside him.

When he accompanied Tang San to obtain his spirit rings, he had made a prediction about Li Xun's talent. At that time, he assessed Li Xun as having a mutated spirit but whose talent was far inferior to Tang San's. Therefore, when the other party refuted his theory, he did not care at all and argued with Li Xun.

Now it seems that he not only misjudged Li Xun's talent, but may also have made a small mistake in choosing the third spirit ring.

Yu Xiaogang quickly shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind: "No, this isn't my or Xiao San's fault. We just didn't have a choice back then."

Yes, at that time he was only a level 29 Great Soul Master, and Tang Hao hadn't shown up either. There was no guarantee that he could obtain a soul ring with Tang San, especially since that Mandragora Snake had almost taken their lives.

Yes, the fault doesn't lie with me, it's with Tang Hao. If he had shown up earlier and discussed the future plans for his mistress with me, this wouldn't have happened.

Yu Xiaogang looked up and glanced around at the audience waving flags and cheering for Li Xun, his heart filled with complex emotions.

But there's no need to dwell on who's right and who's wrong now; the mistress and her allies will suffer a huge blow.

And his proud theory may be ignored or rejected by the world because of this failure.

No! I haven't proven myself yet, and I haven't given those who humiliated me a resounding slap in the face.

There is still hope. There is still hope. I have waited in Nottingham for nearly twenty years before I met a prospect like Xiaosan. As long as Xiaosan is alright, there is still a chance.

When Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San slowly open his eyes, he quickly forced himself to cheer up.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's dazed state, Liu Erlong didn't dare to disturb him. Instead, he silently went to the students' side and started helping them.

As expected of a top-tier healing martial soul, the Nine-Heart Begonia stabilized the injuries of Dai Mubai and the others in just a short time, and Tang San also regained consciousness.

Because Flander pulled him out of the raging lightning at the critical moment, he was the least injured among the Shrek group, but only relative to the others.

At this moment, all the hair on Tang San's body had been destroyed, and his exposed skin was pitch black, covered with dense lightning patterns.

Although the damage caused by these lightning patterns was not as severe as the penetrating wounds suffered by Dai Mubai and the other two, it was far more serious than ordinary burns.

Tang San stared blankly at the ceiling of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, his eyes wide open: "Teacher, do you think I made a mistake in choosing my spirit rings?"

"What did you say, Xiao San?" Yu Xiaogang was taken aback and looked at Tang San with great surprise.

"Teacher, although Li Xun's soul power level is higher than mine, I don't think it should be like this!"

Tang San took a deep breath, enduring the pain: "I have witnessed the power of Master Zhao Wuji, and I have also fought against Tailong's father, Tainuo. Although I used hidden weapons when I fought them, they never gave me the feeling of being helpless."

"Teacher, you must have seen those overwhelming vines from the sidelines, right? The plants that Li Xun's martial soul has nurtured are far denser and tougher than my Blue Silver Grass, and Blue Silver Grass would be completely destroyed the moment it came into contact with his plants."

After Tang San finished speaking, he turned his gaze, which had been fixed on the ceiling, to Yu Xiaogang: "And this is the second time already."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Little San, do you doubt that my plan for you to acquire spirit rings was wrong?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San in disbelief. He never expected that the one who would deliver a blow to his back when he was most disappointed would be his most proud disciple.

"Have you forgotten who helped you transform a useless martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, into what it is now?"

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang and remained silent for a moment: "I will always remember your kindness, teacher, but seeing the current situation, do you still think that Li Xun's discussion with you about choosing a spirit ring was wrong?"

"Mistress, haven't we already discussed this issue?"

Yu Xiaogang's face hardened, and he said with deep sorrow, "Everyone's martial spirit is different, and someone else's development path may not be suitable for you. Are you starting to doubt yourself just because of this one failure?"

"Have you forgotten what I taught you? How can a strong person grow if they cannot face failure? Is the path of cultivation always smooth sailing?"

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he sighed deeply, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant: "Xiao San, a person who falls into self-doubt as soon as he fails can never become a strong person. If you think the theories I taught you are wrong, I won't blame you."

"But don't forget, mistress, what you should really care about isn't this Blue Silver Grass."

It's the same old rhetoric again. Why do teachers only know how to say these things?

Tang San slowly closed his eyes. However, Yu Xiaogang's last words reminded him that his strongest martial soul had always been the Clear Sky Hammer.

However, his father and teacher kept reminding him not to reveal it, which sometimes made him forget about his martial spirit.
