"You mean, Tang Hao's bloodline isn't that of the boy named Tang San, but rather... that of Xiao Yan?"

After listening to Yu Xiaogang's words, the Cardinal calmly stared at him. "I don't hear any truth in your words. On the contrary, I feel that you are deliberately biased and covering up. You two are both Blue Silver Grass, and what you said makes me even more certain..."

"No!" Yu Xiaogang retorted before he could finish speaking.

"Tang San's martial soul is not Blue Silver Grass!"

"Not Blue Silver Grass?"

The cardinal's expression remained unchanged. "Are you saying that the spirits awakened by the Spirit Hall themselves can't even distinguish whether they are Blue Silver Grass or not? Do you really think the people of the Spirit Hall are blind?"

His tone was calm, yet sharp.

"That's right!" Yu Xiaogang said bluntly, "Otherwise, have you ever seen anyone's Blue Silver Grass that is also highly poisonous?"

"Poison?" The cardinal frowned, not only because of the other party's rudeness, but also because of their arrogance.

"So what? It's possible to add poison attributes through spirit rings, or through mutation of the martial soul itself."

"But what I really want to say is..."

Yu Xiaogang's tone remained unchanged, "Tang San's first spirit ring was a two-hundred-year-old green snake that I personally led a team to hunt down."

"snake?"

The cardinal frowned even more. In the common understanding of Douluo Continent, plant-type martial souls can only absorb the soul rings of plant-type soul beasts, while beast-type martial souls correspond to beast-type soul rings.

If one forcibly absorbs a soul ring from another species, it is highly likely to cause rejection and almost damage the foundation.

Yu Xiaogang said this to show that Tang San's martial soul is actually a beast martial soul.

Do you really think you're an idiot?!

The cardinal's heart sank. If it weren't for the relationship with that person, he would have stopped talking to the man in front of him.

"If you don't believe me, you can investigate. The Soul Hunter is no small fry, and he didn't hide his whereabouts that day. I believe that with the Spirit Hall's capabilities, we should have results soon."

"Hmph, there's no need for all that trouble."

The cardinal snorted coldly, turning his gaze to Yu Xiaogang. "I have also read your works. Didn't one of your theories mention that there are special compatibility between martial souls, allowing for cross-species absorption? As the one who proposed the theory, I have even more reason to suspect that you deliberately created this for this boy."

When his own theories were mentioned, Yu Xiaogang remained calm and composed.

He was called a "master".

It was precisely because those works clarified the underlying logic of the Soul Master world that more people became aware of the rules that were once unknown.

But the reason why these theories are so unpopular is precisely because they are often... impractical.

For example, the optimal age for a spirit ring is over four hundred years for the first spirit ring.

But across the entire continent, how many people can hunt a four-hundred-year-old soul beast while still in their first soul ring stage?

Even if a minor noble family puts all its efforts into it, it would be difficult to achieve. And even if someone could, who would risk letting their best talents gamble on a few pages of potentially inaccurate inferences?

For example, the one in front of us can absorb different kinds of spirit rings. For the world, it is only natural that plant and animal spirit rings are mutually exclusive. Similarly, as long as the quality of the spirit is slightly higher than that of Blue Silver Grass, the rejection reaction will be almost 100%.

The reason why the mistress was able to be successfully absorbed was entirely due to the inclusiveness of the Blue Silver Grass itself. In other words, it was precisely because it was too weak that it was less likely to cause violent conflict.

If the Spirit Hall wants to verify this theory, it only needs to find another person with the Blue Silver Grass spirit and a spirit power level of ten to test it.

But can the Spirit Hall find someone like that?

Faced with a counterattack based on their own theories.

Yu Xiaogang remained calm and composed.

For the sake of his mistress, for himself, and for the future he shared with his disciple, he had long been prepared to endure hardship and bide his time.

"Theory is just theory; isn't it normal for it to be wrong?"

"No one has succeeded in this yet, and it has caused quite a few people..."

He said no more after that.

Upon hearing this, the Cardinal quietly stared at Yu Xiaogang's expression. This young master from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was so arrogant when he became famous, but now he showed no signs of emotional fluctuation.

"Hmph! What a considerate master!"

The cardinal gave a heavy snort and ultimately did not pursue the matter further.

Yu Xiaogang felt a slight sense of relief, but also a touch of bitterness. He never expected that the years of ridicule and cold treatment would have an effect now.

Now that he has said so much, he has almost achieved his goal. Although it is impossible to completely clear his name of being a mistress, at least... he can move Tang San's position after Xiao Yan's.

After awakening his martial soul, he merely registered briefly and left. Not long after, he fought and demonstrated his soul skills in front of Notting Academy, proving that he had broken through. However, he never went to the Spirit Hall to update his records. This in itself raises a series of suspicious points.

Now that they have completely disappeared, they are perfectly capable of serving as a diversionary tactic to protect Tang San.

The thought of that figure made Yu Xiaogang clench his fist silently. The pain and humiliation of that night resurfaced. What goes around comes around...

He composed himself and brought his thoughts back to the present moment.

"I have said everything I needed to say."

Yu Xiaogang said calmly, "It's inconvenient for me to stay any longer."

Before the cardinal could respond, he took a few steps forward, intending to retrieve the elder's decree from the table.

Just as he reached out his hand, the cardinal spoke quietly:

"You haven't explained why the Elder's Token of Haotian Douluo is in your hands."

"This doesn't belong to Haotian Douluo."

Yu Xiaogang remained calm. "It's mine."

This time, before the other party could ask again, Yu Xiaogang continued:

"She gave it to me. If you have any doubts, you can just ask her directly."

The word "she" was uttered.

The cardinal's gaze sharpened, but he did not stop him further. He watched as Yu Xiaogang retrieved the Elder's Decree, then turned and walked out of the council hall.

"She" will only be one person... Pope Bibidon!

"Someone, send a letter!"

The cardinal walked towards the outer side of the temple.

Would he be easily fooled? The elder's token is the biggest flaw at the moment. Other speculations still need time to be verified, but the authenticity of this item can be determined with just one letter.

They left the Spirit Hall.

Yu Xiaogang finally frowned, a hint of worry that he could not hide.

He was well aware that the Elder's Decree was a barrier-breaking technique.

But this is the only method left that can be used right now. I'm betting that she still has some lingering feelings for me, even if we've truly broken up... This back-and-forth communication and verification can drag on for quite some time.

but……

"Your Majesty, why did you take such a dangerous step? Didn't you know it would endanger yourself and even your mistress?"

"What exactly happened?"

With these questions in mind, Yu Xiaogang quickly returned to Notting Academy and found Tang San studying intently in his study.

He composed himself, suppressing his distracting thoughts. The mistress was still unaware of the situation, so he didn't need to reveal it until it was absolutely necessary. However, he could give her the necessary warnings in advance before pushing open the door and entering.

He spoke before Tang San could say hello:

"Xiao San, for the next period of time, try to stay at the academy and don't go out unnecessarily. It might not be safe outside."

"Something's not peaceful?" Tang San was taken aback. He had been coming and going from the blacksmith shop without noticing anything amiss.

"Teacher, is something about to happen?"

"There might be someone at the Title Douluo level arriving, so it's best to avoid going out as much as possible..."

Before he could ask any more questions, Yu Xiaogang changed the subject and began today's lesson. The term "Title Douluo" was enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

However, the term "Title Douluo" is used.

But it lingered in Tang San's mind for a long time, refusing to leave.

When he finished his studies and returned to Dormitory 7, he was somewhat dazed when he saw Xiao Wu. It seemed that two people had mentioned this word to him.

One is a teacher, and the other is Xiao Wu.
