Seeing Grandmaster's pretentious act filled Qian Yu with disgust.
Though countless ages had passed, Qian Yu still vaguely remembered that Yu Xiaogang possessed a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, and was merely a Great Soul Master with only two Soul Rings.
He had no real strength, relying solely on his silver tongue to deceive and swagger. Then he formed some "Golden Iron Triangle" with Flender and Liu Erlong, living off their hard work while proclaiming their trio's supposed invincibility.
Lacking both skill and effort, he only knew how to spout empty analysis. In the end, he betrayed Bibi Dong and even got involved with his own sister, all under the guise of "love."
Love my ass.
He was nothing more than a naked scumbag.
Qian Yu initially had no intention of acknowledging Grandmaster, but hearing him spout such nonsense, he couldn't hold back. He glared at Grandmaster and asked coldly, "So you're the legendary Grandmaster?"
Grandmaster was both surprised and delighted that Qian Yu had spoken. After all, his original target wasn't Tang San, but Qian Yu himself.
He watched from a distance as Qian Yu subdued the gatekeeper, and it became clear to him that Qian Yu was undoubtedly a prodigy.
He hadn't expected Qian Yu to have heard of him.
Now, he had a chance to take Qian Yu as his disciple.
Once he also captured Tang San, having two such disciples would finally prove his theory.
He had no choice. Because his own Martial Soul was weak, he'd always had to rely on others.
Before, he'd relied on Flender and Liu Erlong. Now that they were getting old, he could only depend on his own disciples.
"You're Qian Yu, aren't you?" Grandmaster said, adopting the demeanor of a sage. "If I'm not mistaken, your Martial Soul must be extraordinary. To unleash such tremendous energy without a Soul Ring—your Martial Soul is undoubtedly a top-tier one!"
Qian Yu met his gaze calmly. "You're right," he replied.
At that moment, Grandmaster turned to Qian Yu and Tang San. "Hahaha... Though my Soul Power may be weak, I've made some achievements in the study of Martial Souls."
I dare say, there's no one in the world who understands Martial Souls better than I do.
Tang San, Qian Yu, your Martial Souls are truly extraordinary. Only my theories can strengthen them. Are you willing to accept me as your master?"
After hearing Grandmaster's words, Tang San realized this man genuinely understood Martial Souls. Moreover, having a teacher within the academy would undoubtedly make things more convenient.
Tang San nodded. "I... I am willing!"
He took a step back, creating distance between himself and Grandmaster. Then, he knelt on both knees and respectfully bowed three times.
This time, it was Grandmaster's turn to be stunned. "What are you doing?"
"Teacher," Tang San said respectfully, "please accept me as your disciple."
Grandmaster smiled, a satisfied smile. He bent down and helped Tang San up. "Silly boy, why bow to the ground when paying respects to a master? Don't you know that's reserved for royalty and parents? A simple bow will suffice."
The customs of the Douluo Continent clearly differed from what Tang San had experienced in his previous life, but he didn't consider his actions excessive. He said solemnly, "A day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father. You deserve my deepest respect."
Grandmaster looked at Tang San with deep emotion. "A day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father... Good, good. It seems I truly made the right choice."
As the saying goes, "The wise see the significant in the trivial; success or failure lies in the details." Although the master-disciple pair had only interacted briefly, Grandmaster already had a profound understanding of the boy before him.
Then, Grandmaster turned to Qian Yu and asked, "What about you, Qian Yu? I'm certain I can befriend you!"
Qian Yu calmly observed the overly formal master-disciple pair before stating, "I'm not interested."
Tang San stared at Qian Yu in shock.
He was stunned. Grandmaster was clearly so formidable, yet Qian Yu seemed oblivious to the opportunity.
Grandmaster was also taken aback.
In truth, compared to Tang San, Grandmaster actually preferred Qian Yu as a disciple.
Qian Yu's displayed explosive power was simply too formidable.
He was hailed as the Douluo Continent's foremost theoretical master, yet Qian Yu refused.
At that moment, Qian Yu smiled. "You say your Soul Power is weak. Does that mean you only understand theory and lack combat ability?"
Grandmaster looked at Qian Yu in surprise before immediately responding, "I am indeed only a level 29 Great Soul Master. However, my theoretical knowledge is unparalleled on the Douluo Continent!"
He hadn't expected Qian Yu to refuse. He had explained everything so clearly, yet this young man named Qian Yu still declined.
He shook his head, a note of regret in his voice. "Are you truly unwilling? I believe that in this world, apart from me, no one else can unlock the full potential of your Martial Soul."
Qian Yu smiled at Grandmaster. "Grandmaster, it seems you're incredibly confident in your understanding of Martial Souls."
At that moment, Grandmaster looked at Qian Yu with a serious expression. "Though my Soul Power is weak, I have made considerable achievements in Martial Soul research. Otherwise, people wouldn't call me the Douluo Continent's foremost theoretical master of Martial Souls, nor would they address me as Grandmaster."
"Oh, theory is just theory. In actual combat, theoretical knowledge has little practical use. If your Martial Soul theory is so strong, why are you only a Great Soul Master at over level 20?"
Grandmaster's face flushed crimson at these words. He stared at Qian Yu in surprise and asked, "You can discern my Soul Power level?"
Qian Yu smiled. "It's a coincidence, but I've also studied Martial Souls. Not only can I tell your level, but I also know your Martial Soul."
Looking intently at Grandmaster, Qian Yu continued, "Your Martial Soul appears to be a variant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. You mentioned that both my Lotus Martial Soul and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul have room for development. So why is your variant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon stuck barely above level 20?"
At this, Grandmaster stared speechlessly at Qian Yu.
Qian Yu smiled and continued, "Actually, your mutated Martial Soul isn't without potential for breakthroughs."
"If you find a more ferocious Soul Beast for your first Soul Ring and absorb it at its maximum age limit, and do the same for your second Soul Ring, I believe your mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul has far greater potential than what you've shown so far," Qian Yu explained.
Grandmaster stared at Qian Yu in surprise, not expecting him to say such words.
His advice strangely echoed the ten key competitiveness factors of Martial Souls. Qian Yu wasn't wrong, but finding Soul Rings from maximum-age, ferocious Soul Beasts—how could that be so easy?
Having been expelled from his clan and without anyone to assist him in hunting Soul Beasts, how could he possibly track down high-age Soul Beasts?
"Or perhaps, with your current abilities, you simply can't handle even moderately ferocious Soul Beasts?" Qian Yu's icy voice pierced Grandmaster's heart like a dagger.
