Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

"And one of my ten core competencies in the martial spirit world, 'There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters,' was proposed specifically for geniuses like you."

"I believe that one day in the future, you will become famous throughout the entire Soul Master world because of this theory of mine!"

At this point, an astonishing light flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, as if he could already see the moment when his theory would be realized in Lu Yan.

Although he was only a Great Soul Master and possessed the strength to defeat a Soul Venerable, he was nothing in the face of a true powerhouse.

But that's enough to prove some of my theories.

Lu Yan: Ugh... Ugh... Ugh.

He was really about to throw up this time.

He was utterly shocked and disgusted by the master's "astounding wisdom".

Because of your theories, you became famous throughout the entire Soul Master world?

Let's set aside for now whether the level of Great Soul Master or Soul Venerable can be renowned throughout the entire Soul Master world.

Are you sure it's not your theory that my extraordinary performance made me famous throughout the Soul Master world?

Yu Xiaogang, I acknowledge your ability to use words to reverse cause and effect.

To put it bluntly, aren't you just trying to reap the benefits?

Lu Yan finally understood: Yu Xiaogang valued his current performance and his ability to fight beyond his level.

Regardless of whether Lu Yan's combat ability was developed through hard training with Old Man Su and others, or through his own talent and practice, it doesn't matter.

As long as Lu Yan is accepted as his student, he will be trained by Master Yu Xiaogang.

After all, Yu Xiaogang could say things like, "I have nurtured a god, a god."

Master, oh master, don't you even think about what kind of people you can train?

Physical fitness, combat skills, or self-created soul skills?

Physical fitness comes from running, combat skills come from fighting spirit, what can you cultivate?

To put it bluntly, although you have made a name for yourself as the "Golden Iron Triangle" in the world of Soul Masters.

But you're a "summoner," do you even know what physical skills or close combat are?

You should develop whatever combat abilities you have.

Will I still follow your instructions to hunt for spirit rings?

Am I supposed to be like Tang San, choosing the unconventional path and adding a Mandragora Snake spirit ring to my Blue Silver Grass?

I'm not like Tang San, who has a fully innate soul. If we don't count the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Soul Power Cultivation Method, my first soul ring was attached to the wrong one.

Then I'll most likely be ruined, and it's hard to say whether I'll even have a chance to add a second spirit ring.

Even with combat power comparable to a Soul Master, it's uncertain whether one can even become a Great Soul Master.

Lu Yan was speechless, and even the disgust he felt for Yu Xiaogang, which came from his previous life, now felt somewhat real.

Because Yu Xiaogang wanted to verify his theory, or rather, to prove himself.

They completely disregard the lives of others.

If it weren't for Lu Yan this time, a commoner child with innate soul power level one would have been successfully fooled by Yu Xiaogang.

Then he ruined the child. Will Yu Xiaogang take responsibility for the child's future?

It's highly unlikely; it would be good enough if they didn't turn around and resent the child.

After all, Yu Xiaogang has a history of irresponsibility, and he has two women who deeply love him.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh," Lu Yan continued to gag. He felt that he was really about to throw up, so he quickly spoke up.

"Master, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, but I don't think the most important thing right now is to think about the future. I probably need to get some rest."

"My head is spinning, I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep. How about we talk again next time? Next time for sure."

As he spoke, Lu Yan leaned against the wall, shaking his head as if he were about to fall asleep at any moment.

I've already played my part up to this point, and I've made my point perfectly clear.

Master, you should understand some social etiquette by now. Stop nagging and complaining.

Chapter 16 Yu Xiaogang's Furious Outburst

However, Lu Yan's performance this time was destined to fail.

Because not everyone understands social etiquette, especially for someone like a master who is eccentric and immersed in his own world.

Lu Yan's performance, however, aroused Yu Xiaogang's suspicion.

This scene gave him a strange sense of déjà vu.

He stared at Lu Yan's expression for a long time, as if trying to see through Lu Yan's heart.

Unfortunately, no matter how he looked at it, Lu Yan didn't seem to be faking it.

But deep down, he always felt a strange sense of unease.

He remembered.

This scene is remarkably similar to how the father and son treated me on the day I enrolled in school.

They were all polite and courteous.

But behind his back, Lu Daguan conspired with Su Laopifu to slander him, seizing on his mistaken judgment due to incorrect data.

"Dad, I'm so tired, I want to rest. Let's go to the dorm!"

This sentence involuntarily came to Yu Xiaogang's mind.

"My head is spinning, I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep. How about we talk again next time? Next time for sure."

And how similar this sentence is to that sentence from back then.

Yes, perhaps this kid is just like his fat, deadbeat father.

They're always good at putting on a show, saying flattering things while secretly belittling themselves.

Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang's gaze towards Lu Yan gradually turned cold, and he stared at him for a long time.

However, he never found any flaws in Lu Yan's expression.

"Perhaps I misunderstood the child. After all, he is just a child."

He thought that if Lu Yan could become his student, he would not only be able to prove his theory through Lu Yan.

Furthermore, they could obtain research findings on the "Earth-entry Mimicry Cultivation Method" from Lu Yan.

Yu Xiaogang finally convinced himself.

Moreover, he believed in his own theory and his plan for Lu Yan's first spirit ring.

He believed it perfectly matched the other party's desire to develop into a control-type Soul Master.

Whether the other party is just being perfunctory, pretending, or genuinely "drowsy" or not.

Hearing my theory would definitely invigorate him and make him completely submit to me.

So, Yu Xiaogang began to speak on his own.

"Young student, I know you want to develop in the direction of a control-type Soul Master."

"And I happen to have extensive research in this area."

"Perhaps you can listen to my plans for your first spirit ring."

"In my plan, your first spirit ring must be one that can add the 'sticky' attribute to your martial spirit."

"Based on my observation, this additional attribute can absolutely bring an unparalleled improvement to your fighting style."

"Think about it, right now your use of clay martial soul in battle can only be used to interfere with the opponent, and its actual effect is not very powerful."

"If your martial soul gains the additional attribute of 'stickiness,' then it will be a completely different story."

"You can stick to the opponent's feet during the battle, keeping them in place, or even stick to their hands, feet, and body, making them completely unable to move."

"Think about it, with your control over the clay martial soul, it is absolutely possible to achieve this perfectly."

"At that time, your opponents will be at your mercy."

Listening to Yu Xiaogang's account, Lu Yan's eyes widened in shock.

It seems that this master Yu Xiaogang really has something!

Yu Xiaogang's description reminded him of a classic character, "Spider-Man".

Based on Lu Yan's speculation, if the clay martial soul is indeed given the additional effect of "stickiness", there is indeed a chance that it can achieve the effect described by the master.

This time, the master really does live up to his title of "master".

This is what shocked Lu Yan.

When Yu Xiaogang saw Lu Yan's expression change and his shocked reaction, the corners of his mouth immediately turned up, revealing a satisfied smile.

He straightened his robe, stood with his hands behind his back, and spoke in a calm but confident tone.

"Moreover, it's not just about stickiness. If you hunt soul beasts according to my plan, it can also add poison to your clay martial soul."

"At that time, you won't even need to lift a finger; your opponents, who are under your control, will automatically die from poisoning."

"As long as you follow my plan and hunt down a 'Human-faced Demon Spider' as your first soul ring."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but lose control of his emotions.

He burst out laughing.

The master is still the same "master" he knows!

He has something, but only a little.

Lu Yan really wanted to ask the master if he had any obsession with poison-attribute or spider-type soul beasts.

Luo Sanpao's farts were poisonous, and in the original novel, it was suggested that Tang San's first spirit ring should also be poisonous.

The first spirit ring we're planning for him now is also poisonous.

If he remembers correctly, in the original novel, Tang San's third spirit ring came from a thousand-year-old "Human-faced Demon Spider".
