78 Chapter 76: Master's God Rank Deduction! [2nd Update! Vote!]_1

"Ah, what's that? My old pal, quit beating around the bush!"

Flander was baffled and hurriedly followed up.

"I ask you, did you notice that the number of matches with Bloodthirsty Demon participating tonight decreased? There were only six in total."

The Soul Master asked.

"Hmm, it does seem like there were only five or six matches."

Flander nodded.

"And what about the others prefixed with Bloodthirsty Demon, do you know how many matches they had?"

The Soul Master asked again.

Flander shook his head slightly.

A proper Soul Master, who would remember such a thing?

It's not like they are his students!

"I knew you wouldn't have kept track, hence why Shrek Academy is on the verge of closure, it's because you, the principal, don't understand data!"

The Soul Master laid a piece of paper on the table.

And immediately picked up a pen to write down.

[Bloodthirsty Demon No. 2, seven consecutive wins, 7 points]

[Bloodthirsty Demon No. 3, seven consecutive wins, 7 points]

[Bloodthirsty Demon No. 4, eight consecutive wins, 8 points]

[Bloodthirsty Demon No. 5, seven consecutive wins, 7 points]

[Bloodthirsty Demon No. 6, eight consecutive wins, 8 points]

[Bloodthirsty Demon No. 7, nine consecutive wins, 9 points]

"Damn, Brock! You even remembered all this!"

Flander exclaimed in amazement, nearly kneeling in awe!

"That's nothing, I'm asking you, did you detect any pattern here?"

Although not great at Soul Master battles, Brock, with his years of rote learning experience, was more than capable when it came to memorization tasks.

Right then, the Soul Master questioned Flander.

"A pattern? Is there any? Could it be that the person connected to Bloodthirsty Demon is very powerful??"

Flander asked, puzzled.

"What if you add the six wins of Bloodthirsty Demon to that, do you see any difference?"

The Soul Master added Bloodthirsty Demon's data into the counts.

"Brock, you're killing me, just spit it out, will you? Stop holding back!!"

Flander looked left and right and was clueless.

He appeared utterly despondent as he spoke.

His old friend was alright in every other respect, just too long-winded, and enjoyed showing off in areas of expertise!

If you've noticed something, just say it outright.

He, Flander, has been looking for so long without seeing it, which must mean he hasn't noticed, right!!

"Sigh, it's right in front of you and yet you still can't see it. Let me tell you then. These figures clearly show that the real Bloodthirsty Demon has decreased its participation while those prefixed with Bloodthirsty Demon have increased their participation and generally scored over seven points, with the highest reaching nine points."

The Soul Master analyzed with a serious face.

"Is that it???"

Flander was full of question marks.

Anyone could see that alright!

Bloodthirsty Demon has only 6 points, while the others have either 7 points or 8 points, and the highest at 9 points!

What does that imply??

Well, Flander didn't know.

"Flander, you were the boss of the Golden Iron Triangle once, how come I feel like after hanging out with Motionless Bright King, a man 'strong of limb and simple of mind,' you've become simple-minded too!"

The Soul Master said with disdain.

"How have I become simple-minded?"

Flander was disheveled in the wind.

"This clearly proves it's a test!!"

The Master spoke to Flander with a 'spare the rod, spoil the child' attitude.

"A test? You mean this is a test from the Bloodthirsty Demon's backing family for us??"

Flander's eyes widened in shock!

He looked at the Master with an expression of complete disbelief.

"Finally, you've gotten something right. Think about it, why did the names Bloodthirsty Demon No. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 appear right after we signed the agreement, and each one with such formidable fighting strength!"

The Master asked.

Flander shook his head.

But he was focused.

Because he felt that his old buddy was making some sense!

"It's not like those Bloodthirsty Demons opened six sub-accounts. Tell me, who in this world can fight over fifty battles in one night? If someone really could, I, Yu Xiaogang, would kneel in front of him and call him 'daddy.' Flander, I really feel sorry for you. How could you have such an idea!!"

Truth be told, when Flander began to speak, the Master nearly suffocated, because anyone with a bit of logical thinking wouldn't say something so absurd!

Who can fight over fifty battles in one night??

And in the Soul Honor Arena, no less!

Even his first love didn't have that kind of stamina!

"That's also true…" Flander felt a bit embarrassed.

If that person could really open six accounts and fight over fifty battles, that would be insanely abnormal!

"That's why I'm saying this is a test, a test from the Bloodthirsty Demon's backing family for us." The Master said.

"So, how exactly do they test us?"

Goodness me, back to square one!

Right now, Flander just wanted to know how the other party was testing them!!

In the past, his old buddy wasn't so long-winded... alas, Flander felt unspeakable frustration in his heart!

"Don't worry, let me explain slowly. Given the strength of Bloodthirsty Demon, he could easily fight ten battles tonight, but why did he stop after five or six? I suspect it's because he wants to acknowledge me, Yu Xiaogang, as his master, so he intentionally fought only six battles!"

The Master analyzed.

"?????" At this moment, Flander was the spitting image of the 'uncle on the subway looking at his phone jpg' meme, his face a never-before-seen mix of confusion and bewilderment!

"Think about it, would my future disciple's family just hand him over to people like us that easily? Although I was once a junior of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, I am now only known as the top theoretical expert. So, they sent out some elite talents from their clan to test my theories and the students I've trained with them." The Master revealed, wearing an enchanting smile of confidence.

"Hmm??" Flander was still somewhat perplexed, as if he understood but also didn't.

"To put it simply, the agreement we signed earlier has a loophole. It only states that if someone scores higher than Bloodthirsty Demon within a week, they must join Shrek Academy and acknowledge me, Yu Xiaogang, as their master. It didn't specify that Bloodthirsty Demons with prefixes and suffixes are excluded!" The Master explained.

"Are you saying that their family clan might also count those with suffixes at the end of the day??"

Flander was suddenly enlightened, as if he had seen the light through the passing clouds!!

He got it!!

"Mm-hmm, although my prospective disciple has been going easy in hopes of acknowledging a master, his family clan isn't convinced. So, they sent out these people. Now, the highest score among them is only nine points. I suspect that this is the limit for the young Soul Elders of their clan. As long as we score over nine points, we can leave them speechless and free Bloodthirsty Demon from the clan's constraints!"

The Master's gaze was resolute!

And he was also very relieved.

He had finally gotten through to Flander.

It was truly a rare achievement.
