Bachelors Gown, crew cut, and a very stiff expression... could this be that Yu Xiaogang?
Ye Luo couldn't help but be stunned as a thought flashed through his mind.
But doesn't that Yu Xiaogang have very high standards?
Why would he come to Maple Forest Village to find me? I'm just a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master with Innate Third Level Soul Power!
Ye Luo was very puzzled.
"Respected Spirit Master, I've brought Xiao Luo back!"
After bringing Ye Luo home.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang sitting in the living room, Village Chief Old Tom couldn't help but show a look of respect. Leaning on his cane, he went to greet Yu Xiaogang and bowed respectfully.
"Xiao Luo, come and pay your respects to the Grandmaster!"
After saying that, Old Tom turned to Ye Luo and urged him.
Although Ye Luo didn't think much of Yu Xiaogang.
After all, in his previous life, this so-called martial soul theory master had long been exposed online for his hypocritical, shameless, incompetent, and cowardly true face.
His so-called ten core competitivities of spirit souls and the spirit ring absorption limit theory were either common sense or a rigid application of data like carving a mark on a boat to find a sword.
Upon careful analysis, there were a lot of errors.
If someone believed them and followed them, they might even be tricked to death!
In all of it, the only sentence that made some sense was: There are no trash Spirits, only trash Spirit Masters!
This sentence, when applied to Yu Xiaogang, the creator of the theory, was a blatant slap in the face.
It made him look like a complete clown!
But regardless, Yu Xiaogang was currently a Level 29 Spirit Grandmaster.
Ye Luo couldn't afford to provoke him yet.
As a transmigrator who followed the Gou Dao and prioritized stability.
No matter how little Ye Luo cared for Yu Xiaogang or how much he despised him in his heart, he still feigned a look of admiration on his face and stepped forward to say respectfully.
"Ye Luo pays his respects to the Grandmaster!"
Being called Grandmaster by Village Chief Old Tom and Ye Luo, a flash of satisfaction crossed Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
The reason he had persisted for so many years, spending one hundred gold coins to buy the Spirit Awakening lists of children from Nuoding City and the surrounding villages.
Besides pretending to conduct research to maintain his title as a martial soul theory master.
Being called Grandmaster by those ignorant villagers to satisfy his vanity was also an extremely important reason.
"Are you Ye Luo?"
Yu Xiaogang stood up, hands behind his back, and walked over. The expression on his face remained stiff as he asked.
"I heard that you awakened a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Spirit Power at level three."
"According to my research, I have investigated over six hundred Spirit Masters whose Spirit is Blue Silver Grass. Among them, only sixteen possessed spirit power, and none reached level one."
"Can you tell me how you managed to awaken a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Third Level Soul Power?"
"Did you accidentally eat some Heaven And Earth Treasure when you were a child, or did you encounter something unusual? Can you tell me?"
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang began questioning him from a high and mighty position as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ye Luo felt a bit uncomfortable.
No matter who it was, it was impossible to feel comfortable with this way of communication.
What kind of decent person starts asking this and that as soon as they speak!
"Do I owe you something?"
However, because he still needed to develop low-key for now.
Ye Luo suppressed his internal discomfort, pretended to think for a moment, shook his head, and replied.
"Grandmaster, I'm sorry!"
"I've lived in Maple Forest Village since I was a child, just like my other companions."
"I haven't seen the Heaven And Earth Treasures you mentioned, nor have I encountered anything unusual."
"I don't know why I awakened a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Third Level Soul Power either."
Ye Luo put on a look of distress and innocence.
But hearing this, Yu Xiaogang frowned, feeling a bit displeased.
Smart people always trust their own judgment the most!
And Yu Xiaogang, who considered himself a smart person, was also convinced.
Something unusual must have happened to Ye Luo for him to awaken a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Third Level Soul Power.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to awaken with Innate Third Level Soul Power!
"Little fellow, you must be honest!"
Yu Xiaogang stared intently at Ye Luo, looking earnest.
"I've said that according to my theory, under normal circumstances, it's impossible for a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to produce Innate Third Level Soul Power."
"Think about it carefully again."
"I'm asking about the reason you awakened the Innate Third Level Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul not for myself, but for the countless Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters like you."
"If you can remember and tell me the reason, I will conduct research on it."
"If I can produce results from the research, it might also help your Cultivation."
"Furthermore, if I can compile it into a theory and publish it, it will benefit countless Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters even more!"
"What a great thing that would be!"
"Little fellow, look at the bigger picture!"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Ye Luo was absolutely disgusted.
This guy is truly hypocritical and shameless, just making empty promises to me!
Does any of what you said benefit me?
Benefiting countless Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters?
Heh, sounds great, but isn't it all for yourself!
To the side, Old Tom felt more and more that something was wrong.
He originally thought Yu Xiaogang had come to guide Ye Luo's Cultivation.
But he didn't expect that as soon as they met, Yu Xiaogang would start questioning Ye Luo with such a high and mighty attitude.
This didn't look like guiding Cultivation at all; it was clearly coming to take advantage!
This made Old Tom furious.
He was a countryman, true.
But he wasn't stupid if he could be the Village Chief!
This damned Spirit Master, what Spirit Master? He's clearly a Fart Master!
Speaking is like farting!
City people just have too many schemes and not a word of truth!
"Grandmaster, you've misunderstood."
"I really haven't eaten any of the Heaven And Earth Treasures you mentioned, nor have I encountered anything unusual."
Regarding Yu Xiaogang's arrogant look of being certain his judgment was correct.
Ye Luo suppressed his anger and replied.
To the side, Old Tom also chimed in.
"Respected Spirit Master, our Maple Forest Village is just a rural place. How could there be any of the Heaven And Earth Treasures you mentioned?"
"Those must be very precious medicinal herbs. We don't have them in our village; we only have plenty of carrots!"
"As for anything unusual, Xiao Luo has always lived in the village. Nothing unusual has ever happened in our village, or I would definitely know."
Seeing that Old Tom said so as well, Yu Xiaogang finally frowned and stopped prying, saying instead.
"Then it seems your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul might have undergone a mutation."
"Summon your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and let me see."
"In the future, I will come by every once in a while to check on your Cultivation progress."
"When the time comes, just report your Cultivation status during that period to me."
"As long as you cooperate with my research, I definitely won't mistreat you if I produce results in the future."
Realizing that Yu Xiaogang was like a piece of dog droppings—once he stuck to you, you couldn't shake him off.
Moreover, he was just making empty promises and didn't want to give anything practical.
Ye Luo finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Grandmaster, I'm just a child. I really don't know what it means to look at the bigger picture."
"I have many things to do every day. You want me to cooperate with this and that; it really interferes with my Cultivation and life!"
"Since you are a Spirit Master, so broad-minded, kind, and loving, you must be reasonable."
"I can cooperate with your research, but setting everything else aside, I'm sacrificing so much for your research. You should surely compensate me, right?"
"As a martial soul theory master, you must have many books about Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts."
"If you can lend me your collection and research notes to read, and then sponsor me with some funds, then I'm willing to cooperate with your research!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face immediately darkened, and he felt full of displeasure.
This kid is truly cunning and selfish, with no sense of the bigger picture at all!
That's right!
I, the Grandmaster, do have many collections and research notes.
But is a peasant like you worthy of reading such precious knowledge?
I've lived for free at Nuoding Academy for so many years.
Even if people call me a freeloader, I'm unwilling to share the knowledge I worked so hard to obtain.
These were all things I painstakingly learned in Spirit City.
How could I let you benefit from them!
It's your honor that I, the Grandmaster, am letting you cooperate with my research!
You actually want to freeload on my precious knowledge?
"If you're unwilling to cooperate with my research, then forget it!"
Yu Xiaogang maintained his stiff expression, hands behind his back, and said coldly.
"I've never been one to force others."
"It's just that at such a young age, you should learn to be more sincere, kind, and helpful."
"No one will like a greedy and stingy child!"
After saying that, Yu Xiaogang gave a cold snort, turned around, and strode away.
