Chapter 38 Yu Xiaogang's delusions and arrogance! Jing Yuan's crushing defeat!
At this point, Yu Xiaogang paused, his tone becoming more serious:
"But the essence of his martial spirit remains at the 'top level' and has not yet reached the legendary 'ultimate' threshold."
"His fire can only be considered top-tier fire, not ultimate fire."
Yu Xiaogang raised his finger to the sky again, his gaze intense.
"And Shui Bing'er's martial soul in the sky is the ultimate ice phoenix."
"The ultimate ice is the pinnacle of ice properties in the world; it is the embodiment of the rules."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's pupils contracted slightly, and he picked up the conversation:
"Does the teacher mean that this ultimate martial soul is comparable to a god-level martial soul in terms of quality?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded approvingly.
"That's right, exactly."
Upon hearing the words "comparable to a god-level martial soul," Ning Rongrong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, covering her lips with her small hand.
"What? Comparable to a god-level martial soul?"
Born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was well-informed and naturally knew the weight of the word "god-level".
That is an insurmountable chasm between mortals and gods.
A hint of undisguised envy also flickered in Zhu Zhuqing's cool eyes.
"This is so enviable."
"With such a martial spirit, the path to godhood is probably already halfway smooth."
Dai Mubai's wicked eyes flashed with light. He stroked his chin and suddenly chuckled, breaking the atmosphere of shock among the crowd.
"Speaking of which, Shui Bing'er is quite suitable for a fat man."
"The fat man is fire, and she is ice. They are like fire and ice, and if they can combine, they might be able to create some kind of martial soul fusion technique."
At this point, Dai Mubai glanced at Bai Chenxiang, who was organizing the Min clan's forces in the distance, and lowered his voice:
"To put it bluntly, although Xiangxiang is hardworking, her talent is just that."
"The Agility Swift is ultimately just a pure agility-type martial soul, with very little potential."
"Fatty is destined to become a god in the future. Xiangxiang probably can't keep up with him and won't become a god."
Flender nodded and echoed:
"Mu Bai is right."
"Hongjun is someone I've watched grow up; he's a future god, a chosen one."
"Although Shui Bing'er has a powerful martial spirit, in a true sense, she is still the one who is lucky to be with our Hong Jun."
"If we could bring back the dean of Tianshui Academy to be our sister-in-law, that would be a wonderful story."
As everyone was discussing this, golden light surged again in the sky.
New handwriting slowly emerged, each stroke seemingly containing profound truths.
[Martial Soul: Ultimate Ice Phoenix]
[Owner: Shui Bing'er]
[Master: Luofu Immortal Ship, Jing Yuan]
The moment those words appeared, the noisy discussions outside Jialing Pass seemed to be instantly cut off by an invisible hand.
A deathly silence.
Yu Xiaogang's hands, which had been behind his back, suddenly froze, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed:
"What?!"
"Shui Bing'er's master is actually Jing Yuan?!"
Tang San was also shaken, his Purple Demon Eyes shining brightly as he stared intently at that name.
"Luofu Immortal Ship... Jing Yuan?"
"Is it the owner of the Luofu Immortal Ship, who has consistently held the top spot on the power rankings?"
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
He nodded, his expression extremely solemn.
"Such a strange name has never been heard of in the entire Douluo Continent."
"Moreover, who else but the mysterious and unpredictable Lord of Luofu could have trained a disciple like the Ultimate Ice Phoenix?"
Zhu Zhuqing's cold and beautiful face was filled with shock.
"That Jing Yuan actually has a disciple?"
"And he even took on disciples in Douluo Continent?"
The Shrek members exchanged bewildered glances, all of them taken aback.
This news is too explosive.
That's an existence that even the Spirit Hall has to look up to, yet it quietly placed a pawn in Tianshui Academy.
Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes darted around as she quickly began to make plans in her mind.
"Jing Yuan was actually able to help Shui Bing'er evolve her martial soul, creating an ultimate ice phoenix."
"Just how strong is he personally? And how extraordinary are his methods?"
Ning Rongrong was very shocked.
It's important to understand how difficult it is for a martial soul to evolve. Even though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is incredibly wealthy, it's still difficult to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. They only managed to do so by relying on the immortal herbs brought by Tang San.
But this Jing Yuan seems to have no need for any magical herbs at all, yet he can turn decay into wonder.
Everyone present was also taken aback, and their gazes toward the sky held a newfound sense of awe.
Xiao Wu, however, didn't think too much about it. Looking at the introduction on the sky screen, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"Wow, Jing Yuan is really good at training his apprentices!"
"Look at what's written at the back."
"He not only helped Shui Bing'er evolve her martial soul, but also guided her to switch from the control type to the power attack type."
"In this way, she not only retains the original control effects, but also possesses unparalleled attack power, and her martial soul has limitless potential!"
As Xiao Wu spoke, she looked at Yu Xiaogang and innocently added insult to injury:
"His research on martial spirit theory is so profound that he actually thought of having Shui Bing'er develop her martial spirit in such depth."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.
"He is indeed a good teacher."
"If I could meet such a renowned teacher, I would avoid so many detours."
"This Shui Bing'er is really lucky."
Ning Rongrong also seemed to be deep in thought:
"Indeed, if it weren't for Jing Yuan, Shui Bing'er would probably still be following the old path of the control system."
"The Ice Phoenix, a top-tier beast spirit, can freeze things and has a powerful control effect; this is just a side effect."
"If we focus all our energy on control, we will be putting the cart before the horse and wasting the phoenix's terrifying destructive power."
"There's no need to deliberately cultivate control; brute force is the key."
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Tang San frowned slightly, a strange sense of familiarity rising in his heart.
He subconsciously looked at his palm, where the patterns of the Blue Silver Emperor were faintly visible.
"From control to a full-scale attack..."
Tang San muttered to himself.
"My Blue Silver Grass seems to be the same."
"It has both control and attack capabilities, but it seems to have always prioritized control..."
Hearing the discussions among the crowd, especially Ning Rongrong's rejection of the control-oriented approach, Yu Xiaogang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
This is tantamount to questioning his authority as a "master" and the theoretical system he has studied throughout his life.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Yu Xiaogang abruptly flicked his sleeve, his voice rising several octaves, and quickly retorted:
"What do you know?"
"It might not be a good thing that Shui Bing'er switched from a control-type to an offensive-type!"
He looked around at everyone, his face stern, and began to lecture:
"In the world of Soul Masters, control-type characters are the core of a team and the strongest!"
"Take the mistress's Blue Silver Grass for example."
Yu Xiaogang pointed at Tang San with an arrogant expression.
"Under my guidance and leadership, hasn't Xiao San also gradually become the Sea God he is today?"
"And he's about to achieve dual godhood!"
"What does this prove? It proves that my theory is absolutely correct!"
"Abandoning control and switching to a strong offensive is merely a temporary show of courage. Without control, how can one maintain overall control on the battlefield?"
"Although Jing Yuan is strong, his theoretical teaching may not be entirely correct!"
When everyone heard Yu Xiaogang cite Tang San as a living example of becoming a god, they immediately felt that it made sense.
After all, Tang San's achievements speak for themselves; holding two godhoods is an immense honor.
For a moment, everyone nodded and fell silent.
But.
Is Yu Xiaogang really right?
However, many people still felt that it might not be true.
