"Yeah, yeah, yeah, the leader of your Dou Huang Battle Team is pretty good too. Initially, Tian Heng lost to Xiaosan in one-on-one combat, but during the later team fight, they unexpectedly turned the tide with a fast-attack strategy, catching us Shrek off guard. It was quite a surprise, really. Call them over; it'd be great to exchange ideas."
At this moment, Grandmaster was saying this to them.
"I'll do it."
Yu Tianheng stood up.
He didn't want to listen to his bragging uncle spouting nonsense here anymore.
Initially, his uncle claimed that his students were his lifelong pursuit!
As long as he could surpass his students, he would be considered at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world.
Thinking back on those words now disgusts him to the core.
He used to think his uncle was educating him.
Now, he figured it was probably just boasting in front of him about his apprentice's victory.
If he had known the guy was here, he wouldn't have wanted to come up tonight.
"I've been looking after this nephew of mine since he was little. Whatever matters I have, he always rushes to take them on. Indeed, just like the good old times."
Seeing Yu Tianheng take the initiative to call their leader after hearing his words, Grandmaster immediately assumed a very gratified posture.
However, no one from the Dou Huang Battle Team gave him any attention!
Why?
Because after winning the team battle tonight, they learned that the real identity of the Bloodthirsty Demon was their combat instructor.
And their combat instructor wasn't Grandmaster's disciple at all.
In fact, they had nothing to do with one another whatsoever.
Yet here he was, shamelessly referring to him as his own disciple!
The worst part was that he conned the Dou Huang Battle Team out of their Stamina Pills for the Shrek squad's use.
It was utterly disgusting, opening the door to disgust and bringing it home!
Poor Senior Qin Ming still didn't know his true colors and behaved with impeccable manners.
"Indeed, we are all quite tired today, but such an opportunity is rare. Besides, our two teams can have a good exchange. And who knows, Grandmaster might even become your teacher in the future,"
Senior Qin Ming naturally noticed the Dou Huang team members behaving oddly.
Thinking they were tired from the day, he turned to them and said.
"Grandmaster?"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Dou Huang Battle Team were immediately puzzled.
Who's called by this name?
"Oh, my bad, I haven't introduced him to you yet—this is the leader of the Shrek squad and the teacher of Thousand Hands Asura. Everyone refers to him as Grandmaster."
Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the Dou Huang Battle Team, Qin Ming suddenly slapped his forehead.
He hadn't made the introductions.
Just tossing out the title "Grandmaster," naturally they wouldn't know.
My bad! My bad!
"What, he is the teacher of Thousand Hands Asura?"
The Dou Huang Battle Team members looked utterly astonished upon hearing this.
"Haha, exactly, exactly. The real name of Thousand Hands Asura is Tang San; he's my one and only direct disciple," Grandmaster seemed to enjoy everyone's shocked gazes, nodding his head as he spoke.
He even elegantly took a sip of tea.
Grandmaster's showmanship was off the charts!!
"No way, Thousand Hands Asura is quite capable in battle. Why would he take you, a level 29 nobody, as a master?"
Dugu Yan expressed her doubts with a puzzled look on her face.
"Pfft—"
Grandmaster sprayed out his tea immediately!!
"Cough cough cough! My god, Boss Dai, Boss Dai, help me pat my back!!"
Ma Hongjun looked like he was going to choke to death!!
"Xiaowu, get me some water," Ning Rongrong urged with a small fist pressing her chest.
"I'll have some, too."
Zhu Zhuqing also looked quite displeased.
The speed at which their chests were being thumped was even faster than Ning Rongrong's.
"Gurgle!"
After a big gulp of tea, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's expressions finally relaxed a bit.
Goodness, who the heck speaks so bluntly??
Deputy leader of the Dou Huang Battle Team?
Lives up to the reputation indeed.
"Level 29? No, that can't be right, can it? Boss Dai is supposed to be a Soul Sage, Yanzi, have you got it wrong? How could someone at level 29 teach a thirteen-year-old, level 33 monstrosity of a Soul Elder?"
A chill breeze whisked across the rooftop.
Everyone on scene seemed as if they'd been frozen in place.
The atmosphere was incredibly weird!!
Qin Ming, with a face full of confusion, began to speak at this moment.
With the stature that Boss Dai carried, he surpassed several of the chiefs at their academy.
The least he should be is at the level of a Soul Sage, right?
How could it possibly be level 29!
Level 29 is for a Grand Soul Master.
His students have already become Soul Elders.
This doesn't make sense at all.
If you said Soul King or Soul Emperor, that would be somewhat believable.
"Yu Xiaogang, he's just Tian Heng's uncle, right? He really is a level 29 good-for-nothing. Isn't he over fifty now? So disappointing, I don't even understand why Thousand Hands Asura would take such a person as a mentor, what could he possibly teach?"
Dugu Yan shrugged her shoulders.
She was behaving as if she could kill without recompense.
There was no helping it; her grandfather was a Titled Douluo.
Since she was young, Dugu Yan had been spoiled rotten by her grandfather Du Gubo; she would sometimes even dare to curse out a few Soul Douluos until they were covered in spittle.
As for speaking her mind like now, she had nothing to worry about.
"This..."
Qin Ming moved somewhat mechanically.
At the moment, he looked very awkwardly towards the direction of the Shrek squad.
The Shrek squad felt awkward too.
The key issue was, they also had no idea what Boss Dai could teach.
As for why Xiaosan would take Boss Dai as a mentor, they had no clue either!
Could it be because of a blanket??
"Well, I am indeed level 29, but I understand theories. Today's Soul Masters tend to focus only on cultivation yet lack theoretical knowledge, so theoretical guidance can often lead to very rapid improvement. Xiaosan is just a practitioner of my theories," Boss Dai spoke up at that moment.
No one expected this Dugu Yan to be so sharp-tongued.
She truly had the same poison in her as the person behind her—deadly through and through!!
"Theories???"
The Dou Huang Battle Team members furrowed their brows slightly upon hearing this, looking very skeptical.
Mainly because what this person had done made them very skeptical.
Especially the shameless claim that their instructor was his disciple!!
Utterly shameless to the extreme!!
"Yes, do you know about the ten core competencies of a Martial Soul? That's a theory I, Yu Xiaogang, proposed. For example, regarding the age of Soul Rings: the first soul ring's age is 423 years, the second soul ring's age is 764 years, and the third soul ring's age is 1760 years. Other Soul Masters, if they don't understand and absorb incorrectly, they could die!" Yu Xiaogang earnestly spoke as he explained.
"A first soul ring of only 423 years? There's something wrong with your theory, isn't there??" Ye Lingling spoke up at that moment!
