The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 286 God Does Not Do Meaningless Things

"Hey! Isn't this the master? How's your invincible theoretical research going?"

A teacher walked out of the classroom and happened to see Yu Xiaogang walking in a hurry.

"Of course, with the master's abilities, he should have already figured out the eleventh of the ten competitive advantages of a martial soul core." Someone nearby looked over upon hearing this and then laughed.

Even some of the children were covering their mouths and giggling, whispering among themselves and pointing at Yu Xiaogang.

However, although it was just a joke, none of the students actually dared to embarrass Yu Xiaogang in public, after all, this is a world where strength reigns supreme.

Even if Yu Xiaogang is weak, he is still a level 29 Great Soul Master.

There is a huge gap between them and these newly awakened children and ordinary people.

Yu Xiaogang ignored these people, not to mention that he was already used to it.

He had experienced something similar back at Notting College, but at that time he had Dean Notting as a friend, so the situation was a little better.

Yu Xiaogang ignored the ridicule from the outside world, his mind completely absorbed in his own thoughts.

He has indeed been researching new theories recently and has made some progress, but the lack of people to put them into practice has caused his progress to be stalled.

However, he recently discovered a promising talent. Although his innate soul power is level six, his mutated bamboo martial soul has great potential for expansion.

He planned to replicate his nearly two years of research on Li Xun onto that child.

However, he is now facing a problem: because of his bad reputation in the town, parents are unwilling to entrust their children to his tutoring.

Yu Xiaogang frowned, pondering what to do next.

"Teacher, it's been a long time."

Suddenly, a voice that was all too familiar came from ahead. Yu Xiaogang froze, disbelief flashing in his eyes, before he looked up sharply.

"You mistress! What brings you here?"

Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled slightly, his eyes revealing disbelief.

Since the start of the Soul Master Competition, the relationship between the two has gradually drifted apart. Even the smallest disagreements are often magnified, but Yu Xiaogang is powerless to change it.

When Yu Xiaogang learned that the Haotian Sect had re-emerged and arrived in the Xingluo Empire, he considered visiting the Haotian Sect, but reason prevailed and he hesitated.

But he never expected that his beloved student would be able to find him without any prior notice.

"Teacher, you haven't changed, except you have more wrinkles and your hair has turned quite gray."

Tang San stood at the entrance of Yu Xiaogang's dormitory, smiling as he looked at Yu Xiaogang, just like a long-lost relative.

"Ah! I've gotten old, but you've grown up quite a bit, and your appearance has changed too. You're a handsome young man now."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the boy with jet-black hair in front of him, his eyes slightly moist.

Aside from simply living, a person's life is nothing more than pursuing fame and fortune.

Although Yu Xiaogang taught and imparted knowledge throughout his life, most of his students were only nominal disciples. He never paid much attention to the other members of Shrek Academy.

But Tang San was different. He was my personal disciple, he carried my expectations, and he had promised to clear my name.

Although the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan is no longer around.

The two seemed to have opened a floodgate of conversation, forgetting all the unpleasantness of the past, chatting as casually as ever. It was as if they wanted to recount all the years of separation in one go.

It's just that the moment has finally come when all the longing has been expressed.

When the conversation inevitably reached its end, Tang San changed the subject: "Teacher, I have something I'd like to ask you to do."

"Xiao San, feel free to ask if you need anything." Yu Xiaogang's stiff face broke into a smile upon hearing this; he was afraid that Tang San wouldn't need his help.

As long as you still have value, you will not be forgotten.

"Teacher, I'd like to have a match with you." Tang San, his previous jovial demeanor gone, said seriously, "I won't use my soul power or soul rings."

"What?!"

Yu Xiaogang thought he had misheard, his smile froze, and he stared at Tang San in astonishment: "You mean you want to fight me in a spirit battle?"

"You can understand it that way, but don't worry, to ensure a fair competition, I can refrain from using my martial soul. Let's stop here." Tang San smiled and nodded slightly.

But this scene, as Yu Xiaogang saw it, was like a mockery from the devil.

"You!!" Yu Xiaogang's brain was struck by lightning, his whole body began to tremble slightly, he pointed at Tang San and opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Teacher, this is my final request to you, whether you agree or not." Tang San had anticipated this, and looked at Yu Xiaogang calmly, waiting for his reply.

"I knew it! Why did you suddenly show up at my door? You just wanted to humiliate me, didn't you?"

Enraged, Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red, his eyes seemingly spitting fire: "I thought you were a grateful person, but I never expected you to drop your pretense today."

"Haha, it really proves my father's saying, 'You can see a person's future from the age of three.' I really regret not waking up to this sooner. It's a pity my father reminded me like that."

He recalled the casual conversation Yu Yuanzhen had with him at Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang laughed loudly, tears streaming down his face: "So what do you gain from humiliating me? Prove you're stronger than me? Prove my theory is wrong?"

Tang San shook his head in disappointment as he looked at Yu Xiaogang's hysterical state.

Suddenly, I felt that the once towering figure in my heart had completely vanished.

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

"It's not an insult. If it weren't necessary, we might never have seen each other again in this life. It's just that we've had some issues with our mindset because of you."

Tang San slowly walked towards Yu Xiaogang: "It's because of you that I've been trapped in regret for choosing the wrong spirit ring all these years, and it's also because of your words that I've gone further and further down the wrong path."

A dark purple Blue Silver Grass quietly appeared in Tang San's hand: "You always say that Blue Silver Grass is a useless martial soul, but you forget that even if there are advantages and disadvantages between twin martial souls, there shouldn't be too much difference. My Blue Silver Grass is actually no weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer."

Tang San immediately recounted Ah Yin's story, and then explained the origins of the Blue Silver Grass's mutation: "Is there anything else you want to say, teacher?!"

Yu Xiaogang stared intently at the dark purple Blue Silver Grass, his lips trembling: "How could this be?"

Both Tang San's spirit beast mother and the mutation of his Blue Silver Grass had a tremendous impact on him. If what Tang San said was true, then some of the ten core competitive advantages of his spirit would have to be rewritten.

"That's just how it is." Tang San stopped ten meters away from Yu Xiaogang and gestured for him to enter. "What I need to do now is to achieve a state of perfect mental clarity."

"Haha, what a fine description of a flawed yet flawless state of mind!"

Seeing Tang San's serious expression, Yu Xiaogang suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face: "Since you've blamed all these mistakes on me, then let's do it!"

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he closed his eyes tightly, tilted his head back, and struck a pose as if he were about to be executed.

"It's too ugly!" Tang San shook his head in disappointment, feeling somewhat disappointed.

The current situation is quite different from the carefree farewell he envisioned.

However, what needs to be said has been said; let Yu Xiaogang decide for himself whether it's right or wrong.

Ghostly shadows flickered beneath his feet. Tang San suddenly transformed into a blur, appearing behind Yu Xiaogang in the blink of an eye. With a swift chop, Yu Xiaogang collapsed to the ground.

When Tang San saw Yu Xiaogang fall, he felt a pang of sadness.

But as time went by, some of the emptiness in my heart was filled, and a sense of surprise welled up inside me.

"Was he really that weak?"

The guilt vanished, replaced by anger. Tang San was suddenly furious at himself for making the decision to become a disciple so hastily in the first place.

He constantly reflected on himself and reconciled with his past self, and gradually he felt as if his soul had been sublimated.

The slight inferiority complex that had arisen from being repeatedly crushed by Li Xun vanished completely.

"Only a great teacher can produce outstanding students!"

"God wouldn't do anything meaningless. So this is the true purpose of God's test?" Tang San gazed at the azure sky.
