Chapter 121: Proving Myself a Failure for Most of My Life!
At this point, Yu Xiaogang paused and didn't continue speaking.
Because he sensed a thick killing intent!
In his eyes, strength was the most important thing. As for emotions and love, if they couldn't enhance one's power, they were utterly useless.
After obtaining the soul bone, Yu Xiaogang glanced coldly at Flender and left the office without saying another word. Since his goal was achieved, he had no interest in wasting further breath on Flender.
To Yu Xiaogang, Flender was nothing more than a powerless figure raging in futility, without any practical impact.
After Yu Xiaogang left, Flender finally suppressed the killing intent he had been holding back.
A mere thousand-year-old soul bone had revealed so much about many people to him!
Flender wasn't stupid. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to open a profiteering shop and found Shrek Academy.
Today's situation likely had nothing to do with Tang Hao. It was just a conspiracy between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
However, Yu Xiaogang brought up Tang Hao's favor, leaving Flender no choice but to consider it!
A thousand-year-old soul bone? Flender didn't believe Tang Hao would use it himself, or give it to Tang San. As for Yu Xiaogang, even if that useless man used it, what would reaching rank thirty do for him?
Once the news spread, plenty of soul masters would kill him for the bone. He wouldn't dare to absorb it, and he couldn't even if he wanted to!
"If none of them are going to absorb this soul bone, why take it at all? Is a Soul Sage's favor not worth a mere thousand-year soul bone?"
Flender scratched his head in confusion, his eyes filled with doubt.
He wasn't weak, after all. In a few years, he might even reach the level of a Soul Douluo. With the addition of Zhao Wuji and Shao Xin, two Soul Sages, along with Li Yusong and Lu Qibin, two Soul Emperors, Shrek Academy was quite a formidable force!
Without a Title Douluo appearing, even a Soul Douluo would have to give Shrek Academy some respect!
"Is it possible they don't think much of a little Soul Sage and Shrek Academy?"
With this thought, Flender felt a bit emo.
This was probably the harsh reality.
"Well, it's good that the favor has been repaid. After all, without Tang Hao, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and I wouldn't have made it out of the Star Dou Forest alive that time."
"A mere thousand-year-old soul bone to repay a life-saving favor? It's quite fitting."
With this in mind, Flender no longer felt lost and began packing up his office.
He had already discussed it with his old brothers. In a few days, they would retire to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
If nothing unexpected happened, given their strength, they would certainly be treated as honored guests at Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Soul Emperors and Soul Sages were not so common!
"It's just a pity about my Shrek Academy… sigh."
Flender sighed deeply. Twenty years of hard work had ultimately gone down the drain. Not everyone could simply let it go.
Meanwhile, after leaving Flender's office, Yu Xiaogang headed to Tang San's dormitory.
Initially, Oscar and Tang San shared a dorm, but later, Dai Mubai, in his efforts to win Tang San's support and favor, had swapped rooms with Oscar overnight.
Ma Hongjun, due to special circumstances, lived alone and had also parted ways with Dai Mubai.
When Yu Xiaogang arrived at Tang San's dorm, he saw Tang San sitting cross-legged, cultivating. Satisfied, he nodded his head.
Having such a hardworking and talented disciple was truly a blessing.
Yu Xiaogang didn't disturb Tang San's cultivation. After scanning the dorm, he noticed Dai Mubai wasn't present. He couldn't help but curl his lips and think to himself, "Dai Mubai is hopeless. He'll be like this his entire life. Not cultivating when he should… Next time he seeks my guidance, I'll definitely give him a hard time!"
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang suddenly remembered something—Kong!
Even just hearing about Kong's talent had left Yu Xiaogang shocked.
With such talent, not allowing him to be taught was a great loss for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
"They're just stunting his growth! These old fools have ruined a once-in-a-lifetime genius!"
The more Yu Xiaogang thought about it, the angrier he became. He had worked tirelessly outside, hustling… ahem, recruiting disciples, just to prove himself.
And what was the result?
His clan produced a peerless prodigy, who had already reached the level of Soul Emperor and even became the next sect leader. Yet as the son of the sect master, Yu Xiaogang hadn't even heard of this!
Such important information, and no one bothered to tell him!
"Hmph, they'll regret this!"
"My disciple will definitely surpass him!"
"And I'll rub it in their faces!"
Yu Xiaogang didn't have any other ambitions; he simply wanted to prove to his clan that he wasn't a failure, to show them that he was worthy of being Yu Yuanzhen's son!
As for destroying the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? That thought had never crossed his mind.
It should be known that Yu Xiaogang was deeply loyal to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After a while, Tang San opened his eyes and saw Yu Xiaogang sitting there quietly, watching him cultivate.
"Teacher!"
Tang San quickly stood up and respectfully greeted him.
"Xiao San, you've been working hard. I'm very pleased,"
Yu Xiaogang nodded, patting Tang San on the shoulder. He continued,
"Innate talent is important, but hard work is indispensable. Your efforts in cultivation will surely be rewarded."
In truth, even Yu Xiaogang didn't believe these words himself. On the continent of Douluo, innate talent was the most crucial factor, and effort was secondary.
No matter how hard he trained, with his innate half-rank, he couldn't break through to rank 30. Hadn't he worked hard?
It was useless!
If not for recognizing Tang San as a twin martial soul user, with the second being the mighty Clear Sky Hammer, would he have accepted Tang San as a disciple with just the mere Blue Silver Grass? What a joke!
There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters.
Yu Xiaogang had spent most of his life proving that he was, indeed, a failure.
Though he didn't believe in these words himself, wasn't it enough that Tang San believed?
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San's face turned serious as he firmly nodded and said,
"Teacher, rest assured. I will definitely surpass those so-called geniuses!"
Tang San's words were, in fact, aimed at one person—Kong!
Innate full soul power?
Tang San also had innate full soul power!
Moreover, he possessed twin martial souls!
What did mere Yu Tiankong have to compare with Tang San?
His current lead was only temporary.
Tang San had the unrivaled skills of the Tang Sect, twin martial souls, and nearly level 11 innate soul power. Could all of this not surpass Yu Tiankong?
Yu Xiaogang's eye twitched. Tang San's words left him somewhat speechless. Surpassing those so-called geniuses? Wasn't it possible that Tang San himself was an extraordinary genius?
It was only because of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul that he saw himself as a failure.
If Yu Tiankong didn't exist, then Tang San's talent would stand unmatched across the Douluo Continent—except for that woman...
