Chapter 189 Yu Xiaogang is going to join the Genius Club?
"You said...you want to join the Genius Club?"
When Yu Xiaogang uttered this extremely arrogant statement, everyone on Xiao Yika's massive body instantly cast strange glances at him.
His gaze was like that of someone looking at a crazy person who overestimated their abilities, filled with astonishment and speechlessness.
Even Silver Wolf, who was always focused on operating the gaming equipment and completely oblivious to the outside world, was not affected.
Upon hearing the words "Genius Club," it suddenly raised its little head.
A pair of eyes fell on Yu Xiaogang, filled with obvious surprise, mockery, and disdain as if looking at a fool.
"Lord Silver Wolf... what's wrong?"
Completely oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, Yu Xiaogang immediately puffed out his thin chest and spoke with an air of self-importance:
"I dare say that among all the native inhabitants of Douluo Continent, I am absolutely the smartest and most knowledgeable one!"
"You may not have heard of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls, but that is the top-level theory I created with my entire life's work!"
"And every single one of them has come true in my most outstanding disciple!"
"If the mistress can achieve the highest godhood in the future, I, as her teacher, will definitely deserve the most credit!"
"Whether it's Douluo Continent, Ongfaros, or the vast universe, the difficulty of becoming a god is essentially the same!"
"I can personally cultivate a god in this Douluo Continent, where there have been no miracles or gods for ten thousand years!"
Yu Xiaogang became more and more excited as he spoke, proudly raising his chin, his eyes filled with extreme arrogance.
"I have the ability to change the entire cultivation landscape of the Douluo Continent!"
"If I were to join the Genius Club and learn its supreme knowledge, I would surely be able to discover the ultimate way to become a Star God!"
After listening to Yu Xiaogang's shameless boasting, everyone present fell completely silent.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with speechlessness and absurdity.
How could the Star God be so supreme as to create something as common as a roadside cabbage with a few words?
Not to mention the well-informed Star Core Hunters, even the native people of Douluo Continent under the sky couldn't help but sneer.
The followers of the Spirit Hall, in particular, were full of mockery and utter disdain.
If Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong can both ascend to godhood in the future, then according to his absurd logic, wouldn't everyone in the Spirit Hall be able to enter the genius club?
Could they even mass-produce Star Gods with just a little research?
Even Tang San, who always blindly trusted and obeyed Yu Xiaogang, now felt that his teacher was too arrogant and conceited, and simply unreasonable.
The so-called ten core competencies of a martial spirit are actually less useful than his one immortal herb.
But in the eyes of those from beyond the heavens, this celestial herb is not even as good as a weed.
If Yu Xiaogang truly possessed the extraordinary abilities he claimed, Tang San would have already entrusted him with all the Tang Clan's secret techniques and top-tier hidden weapon manuals for research.
Wouldn't that allow us to develop even more powerful hidden weapons?
He understands martial spirits so well; if he really has the ability, he could develop poisons or hidden weapons that target martial spirits.
Tang San was absolutely ecstatic!
However, Tang San never showed Yu Xiaogang the Tang Sect's martial arts techniques, nor did he allow Yu Xiaogang to touch the blueprints for the hidden weapons.
In other novels, the master seems to be omnipotent. When the protagonist gets some small gadgets, the master immediately creates something incredible.
The techniques can be altered in every aspect.
They had no idea what Tang San was thinking.
Tang Hao is the strongest blacksmith in Douluo Continent. He lets Lou Gao make hidden weapons, but he won't let his father study them.
Tang Chen was able to create the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, the Great Susanoo Hammer, and the Chaotic Cloak Forging Method—all heaven-defying hammer techniques.
He has that talent.
Tang San stubbornly refused to take advantage of it.
So we just leave him to die naturally on Poseidon Island?
...
"So how exactly does one become a member of the Genius Club?"
Yu Xiaogang couldn't understand the mockery and disdain in everyone's eyes at all; instead, he became even more excited and agitated.
He solemnly swore an oath to Little Gray Hair and his group, then laid down a huge empty promise:
"If you're willing to introduce me to your group, I swear I'll make sure you all become Star Gods!"
As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, Xiao Huimao and the others were still in a state of extreme speechlessness, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Tang San, who was far away, suddenly sprang to his feet, a fierce, resentful, and murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
He never imagined that his beloved teacher would want his father's killer to become the supreme star god!
The idea of seeking revenge against Little Gray Hair was already as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
If Little Gray Hair really becomes a Star God, then Tang San will have no chance to turn things around, and he won't even have a sliver of hope for revenge.
Tang San cursed Yu Xiaogang in his heart for being extremely stupid and muddle-headed, actually siding with outsiders to deal with him.
He even felt a pang of regret, thinking that he should have let the venom of the Mandragora Snake kill this good-for-nothing back in the Soul Hunting Forest.
Little Gray Hair looked at Yu Xiaogang's fanatical, almost insanely eager expression and found it both laughable and annoying.
She wasn't buying into those empty promises at all. She immediately put her hands on her hips, slightly raised her head, and spoke in a dignified and imposing tone, exuding divine authority:
"I am the Star-Hunting God! Why should I need your coronation?"
An invisible yet heavy, divine pressure suddenly emanated from her body, crushing down on Yu Xiaogang.
Just moments ago, Yu Xiaogang was arrogant and spouting nonsense, but now his body trembled violently as if struck by a heavy blow.
His legs buckled, and with a thud, he knelt straight down on the ground.
His instinctive fear of absolute power instantly consumed his mind.
He was trembling all over, his face was pale, and cold sweat was streaming down his forehead.
He hurriedly lowered his head and kowtowed desperately to the little gray-haired boy, his voice trembling uncontrollably, apologizing profusely in a disheveled state.
"I...I'm sorry, Lord Star God. I was blind and ignorant, and offended you!"
"Please, have the magnanimity to forgive me! You are a prime minister with a belly that can hold a boat; please treat me like a fart and let me go!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's arrogant yet obsequious demeanor, his ugly side exposed, and his pathetic and cowardly admission of defeat.
The people around him revealed undisguised mockery and shook their heads repeatedly.
With such a sycophantic and cowardly character, how could the learned scholar possibly look up to him?
He's nothing but a attention-seeking clown, here specifically to amuse and entertain everyone.
Many people secretly joked that if Yu Xiaogang really got into the Genius Club, it would definitely be a prank by the God of Joy who was bored.
"People remember that to become a member of the Genius Club, you don't need to apply, and there are no assessments or votes."
As Xi Lian's clear and melodious voice rang out, Yu Xiaogang immediately raised his head as if grasping at a lifeline.
He stared at Xi Lian with eager anticipation and hungry eyes, impatiently pressing for an answer.
"Then... what are the conditions?"
Xi Lian playfully pouted her lips, blinked, and deliberately kept everyone in suspense, saying:
"Well, you'll know when you actually become a member."
The little gray-haired boy next to him immediately spoke up, his face full of confidence and anticipation, his tone unwavering:
"The next person to become a member of the Genius Club, the one whom the esteemed Master Boshizun will glance at, will definitely be me!"
She placed one hand on her hip, swayed her little bottom, and said disdainfully:
"Awakening to the wisdom of destiny is only a matter of a few major versions of time!"
