The atmosphere on the training ground grew increasingly tense. Everyone waited quietly for Yu Xiaogang's response.
Yu Xiaogang had clearly thought of this as well. His expression instantly became extremely unsightly, his face flushing red then turning pale, like a color palette.
He opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but felt as if something was stuck in his throat, rendering him speechless for a moment.
Just as Yu Xiaogang was caught in a dilemma, Tang San stepped out from the team's ranks.
Tang San looked at Su Yu, his eyes holding a trace of dissatisfaction and determination, and said:
"Teacher Su Yu, Teacher's Soul Power Level may not be high, but you can't negate his contributions to the Soul Master World because of it."
"Although Teacher's Martial Soul is flawed, he has summarized so many useful theories through his own wisdom and research!"
"These theories have helped countless Soul Masters. This is not something an ordinary person can achieve."
Hearing Tang San's grand words, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He looked at Su Yu and said slowly:
"Su Yu, you're being so aggressive today. If you're trying to belittle me, I, Grandmaster, will accept it!"
"But the development of the Soul Master World doesn't just depend on Soul Power Level and Martial Soul quality. Theoretical knowledge is equally important."
"Although my Soul Power is low, just as Xiao San said, the theories I've researched have helped many Soul Masters avoid pitfalls. This point is undeniable."
Su Yu curled his lip in disdain, then looked at him and continued:
"Then let me ask, among all the famous Soul Masters on the continent, who has your theory helped, Grandmaster?"
"I think there are none, right? Just look at the Soul Masters at the Soul Emperor level and above on the continent today. Which one of them doesn't have an astonishingly talented Martial Soul?"
"Not to mention those Titled Douluo-level Soul Masters! Which Your Eminence's Martial Soul isn't one in a million?"
"On one hand, you promote your theory of core Martial Soul competitiveness, and on the other, you widely proclaim that there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters!"
"Grandmaster, aren't these two theories of yours contradicting each other?"
"Even if these theories are all correct, do you, Grandmaster, know what the limiting conditions for a Soul Ring's absorption age are?"
"Is the age limit for the first Soul Ring really the four hundred and twenty-three years you published?"
...
Su Yu's series of questions left Yu Xiaogang stunned. He wanted to answer, but found he couldn't!
Seeing Su Yu's disdainful look, Yu Xiaogang burned with anger and retorted directly:
"Even if I don't know, do you know the limiting conditions for a Soul Master absorbing a Soul Ring?"
Su Yu chuckled lightly at Yu Xiaogang, then spoke faintly:
"In my opinion, a Soul Master's absorption of a Soul Ring is related to many factors, the main ones being physical fitness and the strength of one's spiritual power."
"There's a limit to the improvement of a Soul Master's physical fitness and spiritual power. Once that limit is reached, one needs to use external forces to break through it!"
"Of course, this external force is not singular. It can be a Soul Ring. Every time a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring, their physical fitness and spiritual power will achieve a certain breakthrough!"
"This is also why the age limit of the Soul Rings a Soul Master can absorb continuously increases as their own strength improves."
"Of course, this external force can also be some herbs used for body tempering and enhancing spiritual power!"
"This is also why some large families give their children medicinal baths!"
Seeing that Su Yu intended to continue, Yu Xiaogang loudly interrupted him:
"Enough! I don't want to argue any further, but I firmly believe that my theories will stand the test of time."
Su Yu snorted coldly and said no more. At this moment, Tang San walked to Yu Xiaogang's side and said softly:
"Teacher, I will always believe in your theories. Without you, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, patting Tang San's shoulder gently, a hint of gratification in his eyes.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Flender quickly stepped in to smooth things over, trying to ease the tension. He said loudly:
"Alright, Teacher Su Yu, I think Grandmaster probably hasn't been resting well these past few days. Let's talk again in a few days!"
"Today, we'll rest for a day. No training for now. Everyone can arrange their own time!"
After speaking, Flender put his arm around Yu Xiaogang and walked toward the back of the academy, saying something about arranging a dormitory for him!
Seeing Yu Xiaogang leave, Tang San also got up and left. Before leaving, however, Tang San shot Su Yu a vicious glare, already deciding in his heart that Su Yu had a death wish!
Su Yu didn't care what Tang San was thinking. No training? That was perfect. He could take Ning Rongrong and the others out to relax!
Starting the next day, Yu Xiaogang officially began formulating a training plan. A week passed quickly.
Flender once again brought everyone to the Suoto City Great Soul Arena, but this time it wasn't to participate in solo Soul Duels!
Flender had formed a seven-person team for them, named Shrek Academy!
This time, he wanted them to participate in a team Soul Duel to get a good feel for it!
Inside the Suoto City Great Soul Arena—
Deafening cheers and shouts surged like a tidal wave.
Because they were participating in a team Soul Duel, the Combat Arena had specially arranged a private room. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, they had a panoramic view of the Soul Duel Arena below.
Although everyone from Shrek had experience with Soul Duels, this was the first time they were participating in a seven-person team Soul Duel.
Flender stood to the side, looking at this group of eager Little Monsters, a strange smile playing on his lips.
Team Soul Duels were never about the bravery of individual combat, but about the coordination between members.
This was a point not easily understood.
To make these little guys truly understand the weight of the word "coordination," he would not make any tactical arrangements for this first battle, only letting them charge and try as they pleased.
The spotlight on the Arena suddenly fell on the host, her figure clearly projected in the eyes of every spectator.
This host, named Dou Dou, was about twenty years old, dressed in a striking orange-red short outfit.
The hem of her skirt lifted slightly with the movement of her raised hand, revealing her fair, plump thighs.
She wore a professional, bright smile, her almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents.
A small mole at the corner of her eye danced vivaciously with her expressions, adding a touch of coquettish charm to her enthusiasm.
She held the microphone firmly in her hand, her clear voice spreading throughout the entire Combat Arena through the sound system:
"I am your host for this match—Dou Dou! On behalf of the Combat Arena, I welcome all our spectators!"
Pausing slightly, waiting for the applause from the audience to subside, she changed her tone, her arm suddenly pointing to a side passage. Her voice abruptly rose, full of incitement:
"Today, our Combat Arena welcomes a seven-person Soul Duel. The first team to compete is our Soto City Combat Arena's star team—the Hundred Beasts Team!"
