In Douluo Continent, I saved Zhu Zhuqing at the beginning.

Today, Flanders, unusually dressed, appeared in front of the academy gates to wait.

Just because of that weary figure in the distance.

He was a man of medium build, slightly thin.

This person appeared to be around thirty or forty years old, with short black hair and an ordinary appearance. His hands were behind his back, yet he possessed a unique aura, with a hint of...

Divided into laziness and decadence.

As the person approached, Flander's joy was written all over his face. "Xiao Gang, you've finally arrived."

That's right, this man is Yu Xiaogang, his good brother.

Yu Xiaogang remained extremely calm, nodding to Flander. "I just happened to be passing by and stopped by to see you, and also to check on Xiao San's cultivation progress."

Flander laughed and said, "It's good that you're here. Tang San is indeed a good prospect. I must say, you have a good eye."

He knew that Yu Xiaogang was extremely ambitious and had aspirations, and that he wanted to prove himself throughout his life.

Although he was not good at cultivation, he created a unique theory of cultivation.

Frustrated by their inability to put it into practice themselves, they placed all their hopes on Tang San.

Because once Tang San grows up, his mentor will be respected by countless people, which is what he dreams of achieving.

Without a doubt, praising Tang San a couple of times would make Yu Xiaogang happy.

Why not?

That's Flander for you—very shrewd with others. But with Yu Xiaogang, he's like a complete idiot.

"Haha, Big Owl, you're absolutely right. Xiao San is the most gifted person I've ever met; all my theories will be put into practice through him. I believe that once he grows up..."

He will be the first person in the future Douluo Continent.

Yu Xiaogang spoke of this disciple with immense pride. He was also very fortunate, never expecting to encounter such a satisfactory successor in such a small place as Notting City.

That's too narrow-minded... Although Flander is smooth-talking, he's very straightforward with his friends. He subtly reminded them, "The Douluo Continent is so vast, the younger generation should..."

Quite a few.

Previously, he felt good about himself and claimed to be a professional at raising monsters.

But what was the result?

He was still humiliated by Zhu Zhuqing blocking him at the academy gate. A Soul Master easily killed a Soul King; his strength was absolutely overwhelming for the young Yi Na.

He believed that Tang San could become one of the strongest warriors.

But to say he will be the strongest person on the mainland in the future, he's far from it.

Putting everything else aside, when he left, the little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School seemed to have also fallen into some kind of enlightenment after reading Mr. Lin's book.

Flander had every reason to believe that once Ning Rongrong regained consciousness, her strength would have improved dramatically, far surpassing anything Tang San could ever hope to achieve.

However, upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately became displeased: "Big Owl, what do you mean? Don't you believe my theory?"

He's actually very sensitive and just trying to save face in front of his friends.

“Actually, what I meant was, don’t take some things so seriously.” Flander shrugged. After all, they had been good friends for many years, and he didn’t want to embarrass the other person the moment they met.

"Hmph. So you don't believe my theory?" Yu Xiaogang suddenly stopped.

What he couldn't stand most was being doubted. Just as others saw him, he was a good-for-nothing in cultivation. But he desperately wanted to succeed, which is why he proposed the Ten Core Competitive Principles.

論。

But now... what does Flander mean? Does he not trust his own judgment?

"Forget it, there's no point in saying all this. You'll find out later." Flander was too lazy to say more. He believed he would eventually realize how terrifying Mr. Lin's disciples were.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaogang asked sternly, "I'm asking you. When has my judgment ever been wrong?"

Flander shook his head. He felt that Yu Xiaogang was becoming increasingly paranoid.

Yu Xiaogang, now in a position of power, was relentless. "Flander, take you for example. Your soul power will never exceed level seventy-eight in your entire life. Am I wrong?"

"Hiss... You shouldn't hit someone in the face, and you shouldn't expose their weaknesses when you insult them. You've gone too far..." Flander took a deep breath. For every Soul Master, exhausting their potential and being unable to break through further...

Cultivation is always painful.

For example, he would never bring up the fact that Yu Xiaogang could only have 29 episodes in his lifetime.

They never even showed the slightest hint of disdain.

But when did it become the turn of a level 29 Soul Master to betray a Soul Douluo like himself?

Are you sure you didn't misread it?

Enough is enough. Flander revealed his Soul Rings.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black.

Eight...eight soul rings... Yu Xiaogang was stunned.

For some reason, Flander's eighth dark, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring shone so brightly.

Chapter Seventy-One: Utter Regret

"It really is a Soul Douluo? How is that possible? You were clearly destined never to break through in your lifetime. My judgment is correct."

Yu Xiaogang murmured absentmindedly. At this moment, he had undoubtedly suffered a severe blow.

He never expected that Flander would be able to break through the limits of his potential.

"I didn't just break through to the Soul Douluo realm; now I possess level 83 Soul Power. In fact, there are too many things in this world that cannot be proven by theory."

Xiao Gang, you're too narrow-minded. Your limited perspective restricts your imagination.

Flanders sighed. Ultimately, Yu Xiaogang only had twenty-nine levels, and almost all of his theories were just figments of his imagination. They had never been proven.

Otherwise, being called a master would be a genuine expression of respect, not the more ironic one it is now.

He was speaking from the heart.

If he hadn't met Lin Yan, he would never have imagined that there were so many supernatural beings on the Douluo Continent.

Is it difficult to break through one's own potential limits?

It's just a matter of one or two meals.

"If even Flander can break through, does that mean I have a chance too?"

If I could break through my own limitations, I could completely elevate the theory to another level. In fact, I could even say that the reason for the breakthrough is precisely because of my theory.

Then, who would dare to laugh at me for being a good-for-nothing?

Yu Xiaogang's eyes grew brighter with each thought. He grabbed Flander's shoulder and asked intently, "Quick! Flander, tell me how you did it!"

Flanders smiled. He didn't intend to hide anything. "Because I encountered a special opportunity."

"Opportunity? What opportunity?"

"I encountered an unfathomable powerhouse who lived deep within the Star Dou Great Forest. He could dispel the thunder that filled the sky with words and command the Soul Beast Overlord as his pet. By chance..."

"That's how we met. Then this powerful person treated me to a meal, and I broke through to the next level. Isn't that amazing?"

As he spoke, Flander sighed inwardly. This seemed like a myth.

No.

Most stories wouldn't dare to be written like this.

"Heh. Are you kidding me...?" Yu Xiaogang's face darkened. "Flander, if you're not willing to share this secret, just refuse. There's no need to make up this."

Mythological stories.

"I didn't lie to you."

Flander looked serious. "Luckily, I was prepared."

He carefully took out an exquisite jade box from his spatial soul tool and handed it to Yu Xiaogang.

What's this?

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback at first. But when he opened the jade box somewhat blankly, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"Flander, you're messing with me!"

He saw clearly that the jade box contained half a dried-out steamed bun.

It's the kind that crumbles and crumbles at the slightest touch.

“Eat him and you’ll know everything,” Flander patiently explained.

"I may not be as strong as you, but I'm not someone you can easily toy with." Yu Xiaogang was furious and threw the steamed bun on the ground, crushing it with his foot.

“Flander, you shouldn’t have humiliated me.”

Flander was stunned. Then he flew into a rage. "Do you know that this is food I've saved up, food I wouldn't even eat myself?"

"That's enough, Flander. I never thought our years of friendship would be so worthless in the face of so-called opportunity. People are selfish after all."

Yu Xiaogang's face was cold. "Alright, take me to see the mistress. I'll leave after I see him."

After saying that, he walked inside on his own.

Damn it... I don't even want to talk to you. Hurry up and watch it, then get lost... Flander also got angry.

He had thought that after so many years, Yu Xiaogang's personality would have calmed down. Unexpectedly, he was still so arrogant.

Upon entering the academy, Yu Xiaogang was suddenly taken aback. He saw a thick tree not far away, and two people were playing chess under its shade.

Is this Li Yusong and Luo Qibin?

But they're not young anymore. How come they have such full heads of black hair now?

Wait a minute, even their faces don't look more than a few years older than mine!

He was filled with doubts but had no way of finding answers.

Flander said calmly, "Let's go. Zhao Wuji is training your disciple."

As he spoke, he led Yu Xiaogang toward the playground.

Before long, Yu Xiaogang spotted his beloved disciple in the distance.
