Chapter 43 This beating will make up for it
Flander turned to the group of exhausted students and said loudly:
"Alright! Everyone has worked hard on this trip to the Star Dou Forest."
"Although the process was tortuous, you all returned safely, and three of you even obtained your third spirit ring, which is something to celebrate."
"Go back and rest, you're all on a day off. Get some sleep!"
"Long live the Dean!" Oscar and Ma Hongjun cheered and ran towards the dormitory, supporting each other.
Tang San, supporting the master, glanced coldly in the direction where Ye Liuyun had disappeared, and then silently left as well.
...
Boys' dormitory.
Ye Liuyun closed the door. The reason he had been hanging out with Xiao Wu and Tang San all this time was because...
First, it was for "popularity".
For a soul beast to reincarnate as a human, the most crucial element of cultivation during the transformation stage, besides accumulating soul power, was contact with humans.
This was not for the so-called "understanding of human nature", but rather through being surrounded by the warmth of human society for a long time.
This was to completely conceal the original bestial nature and accelerate the fusion of the soul and the human body.
Secondly, it was because of the advantage of being a "prophet".
This world was full of uncertainties.
If he were to go off to cultivate alone, and were to encounter a Title Douluo passing by, his twelve-year-old body would not be able to support him in a battle where he would be overexerted, which would be a real problem.
Staying by Xiao Wu's side ensured safety at least until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
However, there were too many experts gathered in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, so he did not plan to participate.
Ye Liuyun tapped his knee lightly with his fingers, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
Was it time to leave?
"Hopefully the plan will come to a successful conclusion."
...
The next morning.
The sunlight was sparse on the Shrek Academy playground.
Standing at the front today was not the cunning Dean Flander, but the master, Yu Xiaogang, dressed in black with a stiff face.
Flander stood aside, seemingly intending to take a backseat.
The master stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping coldly over the group of children before him, whom he called "little monsters," and slowly began to speak.
His voice was hoarse, with an overly restrained depth:
"From today onwards, I will be fully responsible for your instruction."
"Those who know me on this continent all call me 'Master'."
As he said this, he slightly raised his chin, his gaze drifting into the distance, as if immersed in past glories:
"I once formed the famous 'Golden Iron Triangle' with Dean Flander and another Soul Saint. I am the Corner of Wisdom."
"Over the years, I have traveled all over the continent, and I know everything about Spirit Hall's library and the secrets of various sects."
"As for my background..."
The master paused, a deliberate hint of melancholy and arrogance flashing in his eyes—an expression only a "man with a story" would display.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family... Enough of that, let bygones be bygones."
"However, I will be your team leader and instructor for three months of intensive physical training."
These words were spoken in a veiled and ambiguous manner, full of pretentiousness.
It was all about "masters," "the golden triangle," and even involved the "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family," one of the upper three sects.
This was extremely damaging to these teenagers who were inexperienced in the ways of the world.
"Wow... I didn't know the master was so amazing!" Oscar's eyes widened, his face full of admiration.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? No wonder Tang San is so strong, he has a renowned mentor!"
Ma Hongjun was also bewildered and impressed by these accolades.
Even the usually arrogant Dai Mubai now looked at the master with more awe.
Ye Liuyun, standing at the very end of the line, had droopy eyelids and looked listless.
He rolled his eyes inwardly.
Tsk.
This tactic was exactly the same as the "experts" in those TV shopping channels from his past life.
They all had impressive-sounding names, like international associations or ancestral secret recipes, but the medicines they sold were all made of flour.
Despite only being at level 29, he tried to portray himself as an unparalleled master.
If a person was thick-skinned and good at boasting, they could indeed fool people.
"Ye Liuyun."
Just then, the master's voice suddenly turned cold, and he called out his name.
"Here," Ye Liuyun replied lazily.
Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, the master felt a flicker of disgust and... pity deep in his eyes.
Last night, he learned from Flander that Ye Liuyun's soul power level was level thirty-four.
Yu Xiaogang was shocked for a full minute.
How could a twelve-year-old child, without the guidance of a renowned teacher or the resources of a family, possibly cultivate faster than Dai Mubai, who possessed top-tier resources, and Tang San, who was guided by him?
He pondered all night, scouring through all the theories, and finally arrived at a conclusion that he was "absolutely certain of":
The credit went to the twin martial souls.
Ye Liuyun must have cultivated two martial souls at the same time in order to pursue a rapid increase in his soul power level, and he also added a soul ring to his second martial soul!
Forcibly increasing soul power level by absorbing soul rings.
Only in this way could they explain why the upgrade was so fast.
But precisely because of this, his body could not withstand the pressure of the dual spirit rings, which led to damage to his foundation and a weak aura.
You idiot! You're such an idiot!
This child was ruined.
For the sake of short-term gains, he ruined his future as a Title Douluo.
This was what happened when you didn't have theoretical guidance!
Thinking of this, the master's initial shock completely transformed into a sense of superiority.
He looked at Ye Liuyun as if he were looking at a bad student who got a perfect score but cheated on it.
Over the centuries, several individuals possessed twin martial souls, but the only one to survive was his...
In short, without Yu Xiaogang's guidance, cultivating twin martial souls would be suicidal.
"Since everyone is here, in order for me to better understand your abilities, I will formulate a follow-up teaching plan."
The master stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Dai Mubai.
"Dai Mubai, step forward."
"Yes!" Dai Mubai stepped forward, his tiger-like eyes gleaming with power.
"Ye Liuyun, step forward."
The master's voice rang out again.
Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow and slowly walked out.
"You two, fight it out."
The master said expressionlessly.
These words caused an uproar throughout the group.
"Master, isn't this unfair?"
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but speak up.
"Dai Mubai is a level 37 Soul Elder, and also possesses the top-tier beast martial soul, the White Tiger. Ye Liuyun is only level 34, and possesses a plant-type martial soul. How can they possibly fight?"
The master gave Ning Rongrong a cold look:
"On the battlefield, will the enemy talk about fairness?"
"Moreover, since Ye Liuyun was able to survive alone in the forest, he must have some extraordinary abilities. I'm giving him a chance to demonstrate them."
Despite saying that, the master was already making plans in his mind.
He knew very well that Ye Liuyun was no match for Dai Mubai.
Plant-type martial souls were countered by offensive-type beast martial souls, and he was also three levels lower.
His script was as follows:
Step 1: Let Dai Mubai give Ye Liuyun a good beating. This would not only curb Ye Liuyun's arrogance and show him the difference between "unorthodox" and "professional" methods, but also help Dai Mubai establish his authority.
Step 2: Let Dai Mubai continue to challenge others and win all the way.
Step 3: Finally, arrange for Tang San to appear and defeat Dai Mubai, who was exhausted.
In this way, Tang San could rightfully become the soul and captain of this team.
His disciples must be team leaders.
Who would it be, Dai Mubai, the playboy, or Ye Liuyun, the useless brat?
"Ye Liuyun, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
The master looked at Ye Liuyun, a barely perceptible sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
"If you're scared, you can admit defeat. There's nothing shameful about admitting you're inferior to others."
Ye Liuyun looked at the master's sanctimonious appearance, and then at Dai Mubai, who was clenching his fists and full of fighting spirit.
He instantly understood what this slovenly old man was thinking.
You want to use me as a stepping stone?
Paving the way for your precious apprentice?
Ye Liuyun smiled.
He stretched and moved his neck, making a series of cracking sounds.
"Sure."
"Since the master is so eager to see..."
Ye Liuyun turned around, thinking of Dai Mubai's teasing of Xiao Wu at the Rose Hotel, and how he bullied ordinary people on the day of enrollment.
He beckoned to Dai Mubai with his finger, the languid look in his eyes instantly transforming into a mocking, cold glint:
"Speaking of which, I still owe you a beating, and I'll make it up to you today."
