"Is it true, Xiaogang? You found a soul beast that can resolve Little Ma's evil fire?"
Flender was the most anxious when it came to Ma Hongjun's affairs.
He immediately grabbed Yu Xiaogang's sleeve and pressed for answers. When dealing with matters regarding Ma Hongjun, Flender had long forgotten the growing rift that had been forming between him and Yu Xiaogang.
At this moment, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth curled upward slightly, a hint of secret delight rising in his heart.
Humph! Now you realize the importance of this Grandmaster?Damn you, Flender!
While Yu Xiaogang was thinking this to himself, he still naturally maintained his grandmaster posture. Then, out of the corner of his small eyes, he constantly observed Liu Erlong.
At this time, upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Liu Erlong could not help but push up her glasses, clearly placing great importance on what Yu Xiaogang was about to say next.
Looking at Liu Erlong—who was even more charming and elegant than before, possessing an intellectual beauty after putting on glasses—Yu Xiaogang felt an itch in his heart. He had not expected Little Sister Erlong to become even more beautiful.
Reading and knowledge really could change one's destiny.
However, he had to become a teacher at the Blue Tyrant Academy first.
That was right.
He had not been given a backdoor entry by Liu Erlong to become a teacher at Blue Tyrant Academy. Yu Xiaogang harbored resentment in his heart over this matter, which made him detest his own Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan even more.
The reason for this was as follows.
Ever since Yu Xiaogang left, Liu Erlong had once fallen into madness. However, after the publication of Xiao Yan's thesis six years ago, Liu Erlong began to enjoy reading. Of course, it wasn't that Xiao Yan's theories had such a profound impact on her.
Rather, after a portion of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan went into seclusion, their productivity dropped drastically. Consequently, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan took over the operations of Blue Tyrant Academy.
On the surface, Blue Tyrant Academy still belonged to Liu Erlong.
In reality, a large portion of its revenue had to be handed over to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan held themselves in high regard and attached great importance to the academy run by their own clan.
Therefore, they required all teachers to master Grandmaster Xiao Yan's theories.
Liu Erlong was no exception.
Out of sheer boredom, she began to read Grandmaster Xiao Yan's theories. Who would have guessed that from Xiao Yan's very first thesis, Liu Erlong instantly understood exactly who the "trash" implied in the paper was.
At first, Liu Erlong momentarily gave up on reading the papers, but in the end, driven by curiosity, she continued to read them. Later on, she developed a genuine interest in soul master knowledge, theories, and reading books.
Reading makes a person wise; knowledge changes destiny.
During her long periods of reading, she finally came to realize one thing.
As a soul master and as a man, Yu Xiaogang was truly a piece of trash!
However, Liu Erlong, who grew even more eager for books and knowledge, soon stopped being driven mad by Yu Xiaogang. Instead, through prolonged reading, she gradually developed a completely new temperament.
By now, Liu Erlong's theoretical knowledge was arguably not inferior to Yu Xiaogang's at all. What happened over the past few days was that Yu Xiaogang and his group had come to join the Blue Tyrant Academy.
Originally, Liu Erlong had already looked down upon Yu Xiaogang. But thinking that since he was already here, she might as well see how he was doing nowadays.
The result was utterly dreadful to look at.
A hairstyle that looked straight out of a prison uniform made it impossible for Liu Erlong to look at him directly. Yet, he still wanted her to open a backdoor for him so he could become a teacher?
Liu Erlong, whose heart had long since died for him and was now blossoming into a second spring, did not want to have any entanglements with Yu Xiaogang whatsoever.
Allowing Yu Xiaogang to stay at the Blue Tyrant Academy recently was solely out of consideration that he was once a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Afterwards, Liu Erlong questioned Yu Xiaogang on how he intended to help the students progress.
Only then did Liu Erlong reject Yu Xiaogang's request to become a teacher, using the principles of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as an excuse to turn him down.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not want people who lacked a proper understanding of theory to teach knowledge to their students.
Yu Xiaogang is exactly the kind of person who doesn't understand theory. Forcing the students to run with heavy loads—that is the absolute best method his brain capacity could come up with.
He really hasn't improved at all!
That was exactly what Liu Erlong had thought at the time.
But today, right now, hearing Yu Xiaogang claim he had found a soul beast soul ring that could perfectly cure Ma Hongjun, Liu Erlong's willow-leaf brows twitched slightly.
She had read books for six years, and her strength had already progressed to a Rank 82 Soul Douluo, yet even she couldn't think of a solution for Ma Hongjun. Therefore, she was currently very curious about the method Yu Xiaogang spoke of.
If Yu Xiaogang truly had a good method, she would allow him to become a teacher at the Blue Tyrant Academy.
If not, then forget it.
At this moment, seeing everyone's gazes gradually converging on him, and clearly sensing Liu Erlong's gaze, Yu Xiaogang felt incredibly pleased with himself.
"Humph, humph."
After a couple of smug snorts, Yu Xiaogang finally spoke to Ma Hongjun.
"Little Ma, you don't need to worry. I have already found a way to resolve your evil fire."
Comforting him once more to build the emotional tension to its peak, Yu Xiaogang then said, "Since everyone thinks your evil fire cannot be saved, then we simply won't give up on the evil fire."
The moment Yu Xiaogang said this, Flender immediately furrowed his brows.
Isn't this just the same old cliché?
But before Flender could even think to refute, Yu Xiaogang's voice fell once again.
"The evil fire is ultimately your weapon. How can we let you lay down your weapon? What we should do is have you master this weapon, master this evil fire."
Having stated his theory, and knowing that everyone wouldn't believe it, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly brought up the soul beast he had found.
"I recently flipped through the books in the Blue Tyrant Academy's library, and sure enough, I discovered a soul beast that is exceptionally suitable for Little Ma. It is called the Evil Underworld Wraith."
"This is a type of soul beast that usually manifests as an irregular, constantly shifting mass of shadow. It is said to be a soul beast formed by the entangled souls of certain soul beasts after their deaths."
"It is naturally adept at using the power of the evil underworld to devour the vitality of surrounding soul beasts, and it also possesses powerful mental strength."
"If Little Ma absorbs the soul ring of such a soul beast, he might be able to perfectly control the power of the evil underworld. Moreover, he can devour the vitality of soul beasts to replenish his own, and he can even gain a significant boost in mental strength."
"Such a soul beast is the absolute best fit for Little Ma."
Yu Xiaogang said, his voice laced with a hint of excitement.
However, Yu Xiaogang's words did not win everyone's support. Each and every one of them looked at him with an attitude of doubt.
Soon, Liu Erlong voiced her question.
"This Evil Underworld Wraith you speak of is so evil, aren't you afraid Little Ma will turn out like that too?"
Liu Erlong's soul-piercing question caused Yu Xiaogang to instantly counter in his mind: What the hell does that have to do with me!
What Yu Xiaogang wanted was for Ma Hongjun to rapidly grow stronger—at least before becoming a Soul Emperor, his speed would not decrease and would even be enhanced.
Once the Continental Elite Young Soul Master Tournament was over and the dust had settled two years from now, Ma Hongjun could do whatever the hell he wanted. By then, he would have already taken Xiao Lin as his disciple.
Whether Ma Hongjun lived or died would have absolutely nothing to do with him.
In fact, this was exactly how he had nurtured Tang San in the original timeline. If it weren't for the fact that Tang San originally possessed a Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, and if Tang San's martial soul were a Blue Silver Grass instead of the Blue Silver Emperor...
Tang San would have long since become a piece of trash who could neither achieve great heights nor accept mediocrity.
If Ma Hongjun really fell into depravity in the future, Yu Xiaogang could completely use the name of justice to have his good disciple, Xiao Lin, beat Ma Hongjun to death, thereby cementing his own status as a true Grandmaster.
Unfortunately, the moment Liu Erlong said those words, the expressions of several teachers, including Flender, instantly changed. It shifted from the initial skepticism to outright disbelief, suspicion, and interrogation.
"Yu Xiaogang, what exactly are your intentions?"
Flender asked in a stern voice.
"Flender, I am doing this for Little Ma's own good. Will Little Ma fall into evil? With you around, would he?"
Yu Xiaogang's face betrayed a hint of awkwardness, but he still countered, completely turning the tables. He even used rhetoric to frame the matter as if Ma Hongjun falling into depravity would solely be due to Flender's poor supervision.
"Do you not trust Little Ma? He has made it through so many years of bitter cultivation."
Yu Xiaogang spoke righteously, as if standing on the moral high ground, leaving everyone able to see nothing but his noble facade.
