Chapter 218: 237. Gangzi Wants a Double Insurance
This was Gangzi's purpose. Ye Qingmei's martial soul wasn't the top among the Spark Team, but she had twin martial souls and the rare self-martial soul fusion, allowing one person to complete what normally required two. Seeing that scene with Ye Qingmei, Yu Xiaogang decided to take this disciple into his fold. If things went smoothly, he would have two twin martial soul disciples, cultivate them into talents, and himself become famous throughout the world.
Moreover, Tang San was becoming less and less respectful to him, making Yu Xiaogang increasingly uneasy. For several nights, Yu Xiaogang kept having a nightmare where he dreamed that after Tang San achieved success and fame, he pointed at his nose and said: "Gangzi, what I have today is all from my own hard work bit by bit. What does it have to do with you, a 29th-level waste? What did you teach me? You taught me nothing and still have the face to be my teacher. From today onward, you are no longer my teacher."
Ye Qingmei's appearance gave Yu Xiaogang another hope. He couldn't put all his bets on Tang San; he needed to get a double insurance for himself. In the future, even if Tang San didn't listen, as long as he trained Ye Qingmei well, he could still achieve his long-cherished wish of success and fame. Moreover, girls were easier to train and more obedient than boys. In the future, once Ye Qingmei cultivated to Title Douluo, he could use the master's name to demand she pass on her cultivation to him, helping him break through the 30th-level shackle. Then, through Ye Qingmei's influence, he could look for immortal treasures like the Golden Dragon Fruit or similar to improve his talent (although he had already missed the best cultivation age, Gangzi still hadn't given up; he felt he could still struggle a bit).
Besides that, Yu Xiaogang could also casually extract from Ye Qingmei's mouth the method for surpassing the limit in absorbing soul rings, then incorporate it into his martial soul theory, achieving even greater fame. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, if Ye Qingmei didn't know what's good for her, then don't blame a certain Gangzi for not being polite. If she doesn't enter my door, then don't blame me for eliminating her early. Twin martial souls must enter my Gangzi's door. Tang San has entered my door; you can't be missed either. Yu Xiaogang thought viciously in his heart.
"Want to be my teacher?" Ye Qingmei beckoned to Yu Xiaogang with her hand: "Then beat me and prove you have the ability to teach me."
Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded. He said with a stiff face: "Actually, a good teacher isn't necessarily judged by his strength."
In Gangzi's heart, he was already cursing. What he was most proud of wasn't this body's strength but his wisdom. Why did you all have to emphasize strength? Does being a teacher have to be based on strength, not on wisdom, knowledge, and cultivation?
"I believe strength is an essential element for a teacher. When I reach Soul Ancestor, will you have the ability to take me to hunt ten-thousand-year soul beasts?" Ye Qingmei countered.
"This... (omitting Yu Xiaogang's long string of fallacious arguments)" Yu Xiaogang knew he couldn't get around the hard injury of strength, so he turned to explain to Ye Qingmei the benefits of apprenticing to a soul world theoretical grandmaster.
However—
Ye Qingmei already had no patience to listen to Yu Xiaogang's nonsense. The three purple soul rings descended, spirit cat possessed her body, and then she walked step by step toward Yu Xiaogang.
"What are you doing?" Yu Xiaogang finally realized something was wrong.
"Seeing if you have the ability to be my master." Ye Qingmei extended her cat claws toward Yu Xiaogang.
"Dame—"
A while later.
Yu Xiaogang was knocked down by Luo San Pao's fart. His body was covered in wounds, beaten black and blue, gasping for breath, full of the stench from Luo San Pao's fart releases.
Ye Qingmei casually threw the half-dead Luo San Pao onto Yu Xiaogang's face like discarding a corpse, and precisely aligned Yu Xiaogang's mouth with Luo San Pao's cannon mouth.
"So you're just a 29th-level great soul master. Yu Xiaogang, how did you come up with the idea that I would betray my teacher and apprentice to you, someone even weaker than me?" She stepped on Luo San Pao and said contemptuously to Yu Xiaogang.
"You..." Yu Xiaogang struggled hard to move his mouth away from Luo San Pao's cannon mouth but was pressed down by Ye Qingmei and couldn't move. He thought indignantly in his heart: You have a teacher? Why didn't you say so earlier?
Ye Qingmei casually threw the two piles of garbage into the trash bin, contributing to the sanitation of Soto City. Then she turned and left.
At the Spark Team's residence, Lin Chen came before Ye Qingmei and said: "You're late."
"I just encountered a buzzing fly on the road." Ye Qingmei said.
"It was Yu Xiaogang, right?" Lin Chen said.
"How did you know?" Ye Qingmei said surprised.
Lin Chen laughed: "Based on my understanding of him, he would definitely find an opportunity to approach you. This Yu Xiaogang takes disciples for his own benefit. His greatest desire is success and fame. Since he himself lacks ability, he hopes to become famous through his disciples. For disciples with no use value, he will abandon them without hesitation. I was once fooled by him into becoming his experimental subject. After I lost value, he pushed me into a soul beast's mouth to escape himself."
At the end, Lin Chen asked: "You didn't kill him, did you?"
Ye Qingmei shook her head: "He's just annoying. I have no deep hatred with him, so I just threw him into the trash bin."
"That's good. This account, sooner or later, I will personally settle with him." Lin Chen said hatefully.
After the Spark Team personnel were all assembled, Snow Woman took the Spark Team people and left Soto City, heading toward the extreme north.
Shrek Academy had actually evolved into a noble joint academy, representing the intertwined interests of various forces behind it!
Therefore, any wind or grass movement in Shrek Academy would be known first by the forces represented by the students' backgrounds.
And in this soul master tournament, the suddenly appearing Spark Academy team immediately attracted the attention of the forces behind them.
Among them, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind Ning Rongrong, the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect behind Yu Tianheng, and the Star Luo Empire people behind Dai Mubai were the first to learn of this news.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's reaction was the fastest.
Upon learning that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had appeared, Ning Fengzhi immediately checked the family records and used all of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence network to investigate Luo Xingqi's identity.
In the end, they reached a conclusion: Luo Xingqi was not from their Seven Treasure Ning family; she didn't even qualify as an illegitimate daughter.
Ning Fengzhi looked at this conclusion with furrowed brows: "Not from my Ning family?"
Great clans and noble families attached great importance to martial soul inheritance, so the binding of martial souls and surnames was very tight. Take the Clear Sky Tang family as an example: the Tang family didn't allow the Clear Sky Hammer to fall into the hands of outsiders, so Tang family women didn't marry out but only took sons-in-law. The children born would also only take the Tang surname.
So, if someone not surnamed Tang appeared with the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, what would happen?
The Tang family wouldn't allow their bloodline inheritance to continue. Otherwise, there would be Clear Sky Wang family, Clear Sky Li family, Clear Sky Zhang family. Therefore, the Tang family would—honor killing!
