**Chapter 10: Do You Even Qualify to Teach Me?**
At that moment, Grandmaster instinctively took two steps back.
He hadn't expected Qian Yu's words to be so sharp and biting.
"Teacher!" Tang San immediately steadied Grandmaster.
Grandmaster looked at Tang San and said calmly, "I'm fine."
Then he turned slowly to Qian Yu and said, "My Martial Soul is called Luo Sanpao. You're right; if my first Soul Ring is a four-hundred-year configuration and my second is a seven-hundred-year configuration, my Luo Sanpao could indeed advance further.
But hunting such soul beasts is incredibly difficult. My mutated Martial Soul lacks offensive power, so I simply can't kill them."
At that moment, Qian Yu smiled. "That's precisely why I said theory is just theory. In actual combat, it's largely useless.
"You may have your theories, but if I were to take you as my teacher, and my Martial Soul required soul beasts that are hundreds or even thousands of years old, how would I ever hunt them down? By relying on your Luo Sanpao?" Qian Yu asked, looking at Grandmaster.
At these words, Grandmaster stood speechless, rooted to the spot.
Tang San stared at Qian Yu in utter shock, bewildered as to how Qian Yu could possess such profound knowledge.
Qian Yu continued, "I understand a little about Martial Souls."
Having lived nine lifetimes on the Douluo Continent, Qian Yu had even read the original Douluo Continent novels during his first life on Earth. Thus, there was likely no one in the world who understood Martial Souls and Soul Rings better than him.
Qian Yu smiled. "Firstly, the age restrictions for Soul Rings only apply to ordinary people. If your physical constitution is strong enough, you can absorb Soul Rings beyond their typical age limits. Moreover, the stronger the Soul Ring, the greater your power will become."
Grandmaster stared at Qian Yu in disbelief. "No, this is impossible! Normally, the first Soul Ring requires 423 years, the second requires 764 years, and the third requires 1760 years—"
"The first Soul Ring requires 423 years, the second 764 years, the third 1,760 years, the fourth 5,000 years, the fifth 12,000 years, the sixth 20,000 years, the seventh 30,000 to 50,000 years, the eighth over 50,000 years, and the ninth over 100,000 years..."
"If you absorb a Soul Ring beyond its designated age, you'll inevitably suffer a fatal body explosion!" Grandmaster immediately retorted.
A faint smile played on Qian Yu's lips as he calmly replied, "That only applies to ordinary individuals. As I've said, if your body's strength is sufficient to withstand it, you can absorb Soul Rings beyond their designated age!"
"Second, absorbing Soul Rings doesn't require them to share the same attribute. Soul Rings of different attributes can have unique effects on your Martial Soul.
"For example, even a plant-type Martial Soul can absorb an animal-type Soul Ring, and conversely, an animal-type Martial Soul can absorb a plant-type Soul Ring!"
"Third..."
"Fourth..."
"Fifth..."
***
"Ten..."
Qian Yu listed them one by one.
At that moment, both Grandmaster and Tang San were stunned in place.
Every theory Qian Yu stated matched his Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls, and many even surpassed them.
He stared at Qian Yu in disbelief, rooted to the spot. How could a six-year-old child understand so much? Had he spent fifty years researching and still fallen short of a six-year-old's knowledge?
"You lack both strength and understanding of Martial Soul theory," Qian Yu said coldly. "So, do you still believe you have the qualification to be my teacher?"
"Since you're so eager to see my Martial Soul, I'll show you!"
With that, Qian Yu handed the Martial Soul Hall certification to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang examined the document.
It stated Qian Yu's Martial Soul and soul power:
Martial Soul: A black Netherworld Begonia.
Soul Power: Exceeds full innate soul power.
Seeing this, the Grandmaster seemed to immediately realize something.
He stared at Qian Yu with overwhelming shock, unable to believe what he was seeing.
He had studied Martial Souls for nearly fifty years and had once served as an elder at the Martial Soul Hall. As such, he had access to the hall's ancient records.
A black begonia flower.
Could it be... could it be the legendary Martial Soul—the Netherworld Begonia?!
The Martial Soul Hall's records spoke of two founders: one was the Angel Douluo with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, while the other was the true patriarch of the hall—the Netherworld Douluo, whose Martial Soul was none other than the Netherworld Begonia!
How could this be?
How could the Netherworld Begonia reappear in the world?
He had studied the history of the Douluo Continent extensively, delving into every known Martial Soul. He distinctly remembered that the Netherworld Douluo had once used a single Soul Skill to slaughter an entire city.
Could it be... that this child's Martial Soul is the legendary Netherworld Begonia, lost for nearly ten thousand years?
"Now, do you still think you have the right to teach me?" Qian Yu asked coldly.
Grandmaster stood frozen in place.
After Qian Yu finished speaking, he retrieved his Martial Soul Hall credentials and turned to leave. He had nothing more to say to Yu Xiaogang.
If Yu Xiaogang hadn't tried to show off in front of him, Qian Yu wouldn't have gone to such lengths to humiliate him. Defeating him with his most confident theory—the Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls—should serve as the best lesson for him. If Yu Xiaogang didn't learn his lesson this time, Qian Yu wouldn't hesitate to teach him even more painful lessons in the future.
After Qian Yu left, Grandmaster and Tang San stood disheveled in the wind.
"Hahaha... I, Yu Xiaogang, always knew my talent paled in comparison to others. That's why I sought breakthroughs through theory. But after studying Soul Rings for fifty years, I'm still outwitted by a six-year-old child? A joke! A monumental joke!" Grandmaster said with a bitter laugh, remaining rooted in place.
"Teacher, don't worry," Tang San said, looking at Grandmaster. "You still have me. I will definitely work hard in my cultivation and prove your Martial Soul theory!"
At these words, Grandmaster immediately turned to look at Tang San.
He suddenly remembered that he still had Tang San as his disciple.
Tang San possessed a dual Martial Soul and was a prodigy.
By nurturing Tang San properly, not only could he prove his theories, but if Tang San could surpass Qian Yu, wouldn't that erase the humiliation he had suffered today?
"Xiao San, do you have the confidence to surpass Qian Yu?" Grandmaster asked, gripping Tang San's arms.
Tang San nodded. "Qian Yu is indeed strong, but I believe he's not invincible."
"That's right! He's definitely not invincible. If we master and disciple unite, using my theories combined with your Martial Soul, I'm certain we can defeat Qian Yu!" Grandmaster declared excitedly.
Tang San nodded. He didn't particularly like Qian Yu.
Although they were from the same village, Qian Yu had always treated him with cold indifference.
This had gradually fostered resentment in Tang San.
Now, having learned of Qian Yu's formidable strength, Tang San had already begun to view him as his true rival.
"Yes, Teacher, rest assured. I will definitely surpass Qian Yu!" Tang San declared firmly.
