Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Her gaze swept over the silent group of students, a hint of arrogance flashing in her eyes.

"This person is just overestimating himself. How could he know the true value of the phrase 'theoretical invincibility'? Ha, he's probably already sweating profusely from Xiao Gang's interrogation and can't even speak properly anymore."

Inside the room, Yu Xiaogang looked at the incredibly handsome, silver-haired young man in front of him, who remained calm and composed, and wiped the sweat from his brow once more.

This young man is terrifying.

The other party's knowledge was far more extensive than anyone Yu Xiaogang had ever met. He even had unique insights into some peripheral areas that Yu Xiaogang had not studied in depth.

The ten core competencies of his martial spirit, which he was so proud of, were found to contain many errors in a few words from this young man.

What's even more deadly is that this young man can not only refute him with airtight theoretical deductions, but also, through some unknown means, project vivid and real cases into the air in the form of light and shadow.

The combination of rigorous theoretical deduction and ample practical examples left Yu Xiaogang completely defeated and unable to refute the argument.

Kong Tianxu looked at the master opposite him, who seemed about to faint, and gave him a gentle and harmless smile.

He reached out and picked up the teapot on the table, refilling Yu Xiaogang's cup of tea, which had already gone cold.

"Master, would you like to rest for a while?"

After having a friendly discussion with Qian Renxue, Kong Tianxu began his search.

Qian Renxue's little thoughts could not escape his notice, but her imagination was still too limited when it came to the heights that a genius of Kong Tianxu's caliber could reach.

With just two titled Douluo, Qianjun and Jiangmo, who are barely considered level 96 in this era, you think you can keep Kong Tianxu here?

Not to mention how weak the overall strength of Soul Masters was during the Spirit Hall era, significantly weaker than in later generations at the same level. Even if two true level 96 Super Douluo joined forces, they wouldn't be his match.

So, after delivering a powerful punch to each of the two old men, Kong Tianxu calmly began to use his spiritual power to search the entire Tiandou City.

He quickly located the Shrek Academy in this era.

And, the master before me.

It was on the way anyway.

"No need." Yu Xiaogang waved his hand, picked up his teacup, and took a big gulp.

The warm tea slid down his throat, calming his turbulent emotions and clearing his muddled mind.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, and his bloodshot eyes regained their light.

"please continue."

“Good.” Kong Tianxu nodded. “We have just finished explaining points six, seven, and eight. Regarding the mimicry of martial spirits, the fusion of martial spirits into different forms, and the direct proportionality between the true form of a martial spirit and the quality of the martial spirit, the master’s summary is basically correct. He truly deserves to be called a master of theoretical research.”

These words of affirmation were spoken sincerely, and Yu Xiaogang's stiff expression eased slightly.

“However,” Kong Tianxu changed the subject, making Yu Xiaogang’s heart, which had just been at ease, jump again, “I have some different opinions on the last two points, the ninth point, ‘the quality of a martial soul is directly proportional to its innate soul power,’ and the tenth point, ‘after reaching a bottleneck, one can still cultivate to increase soul power without acquiring a soul ring.’”

He held up one finger.

"Let's start with the tenth point. This point itself isn't problematic. Temporarily refraining from adding spirit rings after reaching a bottleneck and continuing cultivation to accumulate spirit power can indeed improve a spirit master's physique, laying the foundation for acquiring higher-age spirit rings later. However—"

Why did the master praise this matter?

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up, making his ordinary, even somewhat weathered, face come alive.

He sat up slightly, his tone firm:

"Delaying the acquisition of a spirit ring and continuously cultivating during this period can effectively enhance a spirit master's physical fitness. The stronger the physical fitness, the longer the time a spirit master can withstand when acquiring a spirit ring. This is of great significance for the long-term development of a spirit master."

Kong Tianxu raised an eyebrow noncommittally:

"But for true geniuses, reaching a higher level earlier will accelerate their cultivation speed. Before the age of twenty, when Soul Masters cultivate at their fastest pace, every bit of improvement clears countless obstacles for later cultivation. So why force yourself to suppress your abilities at a lower level? Wouldn't that be a losing proposition?"

The air was still for a few seconds.

Yu Xiaogang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He remained silent for a long time, his fingers unconsciously tracing the rim of his teacup. Finally, he let out a long sigh, a wry smile appearing on his face, and nodded.

“That makes sense. I hadn’t considered things carefully; I was only focused on seeking novelty and change, but I neglected the key issues in actual cultivation. I’ve learned something from that.”

There was nothing he could do; his cultivation was too slow, so whether he suppressed it or not made little difference, and naturally he couldn't think of this aspect.

"Then what about Article Nine?"

Yu Xiaogang then raised his head and looked intently at Kong Tianxu.

"This conclusion is based on my review of hundreds of cases: the higher the quality of the Martial Soul, the stronger the innate Soul Power; there have never been any exceptions. Do you have any doubts about this, young friend?"

"Have."

Kong Tianxu answered crisply and decisively.

He raised his right hand and gently swept it through the air. A soft light screen appeared out of thin air, and within the light screen, a clear image began to flow.

It was the figure of a young boy. His eyes were unusually bright.

In the scene, the boy suddenly looked up, and two beams of purple-gold light shot out like arrows. The thousand-year-old soul beast opposite him didn't even have time to react before it was as if it had been hit by an invisible giant hammer, and its brains splattered.

"What a powerful martial spirit!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up, staring intently into the eyes of the boy in the light screen, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, "This power... Heavens, could it be a direct external attack using spiritual energy?"

“Exactly.” Kong Tianxu nodded slightly, and with a thought, the image focused on the boy’s eyes. “This person’s martial soul is called Spirit Eye. In terms of the quality of the martial soul itself, it is at least a top-level martial soul on the same level as the White Tiger.”

"However, his innate soul power is only level one."

"what?!"

Yu Xiaogang gasped in shock.

You should know that he had consulted hundreds of cases in the records of the Spirit Hall and his own family, and there had never been a person with a top-level spirit who was below the fifth level of the Innate Realm!

But now, a living example of the opposite is right in front of him.

Kong Tianxu continued:

"Besides that, there is another problem. Sects like the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, which have a long history, have quite a few disciples who inherit the sect's signature martial soul. But even with the same martial soul, their innate soul power is often different, and some can even be described as significantly different."

"In my opinion, innate soul power is more related to parents than to the martial soul itself. Parents with high innate soul power are more likely to have high innate soul power in their offspring."

"But there is also a considerable amount of randomness involved, which is the difference in talent that each person is born with."

After pondering for a while, Yu Xiaogang finally waved his hand with a wry smile:

"I was wrong. What you said is indeed more in line with the laws of martial soul inheritance and innate soul power awakening. I... have learned something."

After saying this, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to Kong Tianxu.

The two walked out the door chatting and laughing.

Although they were supposed to be chatting and laughing, only Kong Tianxu was actually talking, and Yu Xiaogang couldn't get a word in edgewise.

The trainees standing outside stared wide-eyed at the sight, their mouths agape in disbelief.

Liu Erlong's expression turned even uglier.

Kong Tianxu turned his head and looked at Yu Xiaogang's ordinary yet weathered face, and suddenly smiled.

"The master is indeed a man of genuine talent and learning."

Yu Xiaogang was slightly taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile: "In front of you, my little thing is nothing."

Kong Tianxu didn't respond to that. He stopped and turned around to face Yu Xiaogang.

Sunlight shone from behind him, casting a soft halo over his silvery-white hair and obscuring half of his face in shadow, making it impossible to discern his expression.

“Actually,” his voice suddenly softened, “regarding your own innate soul power, Master… is it possible that the problem doesn’t lie with the martial soul itself?”

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed slightly, showing some displeasure.

What do you mean? The martial spirit itself is fine, so it's me who has the problem?

Where is the academic spirit? Where is the elegance of theoretical discussion? How did this turn into personal attacks!

"Young friend, what does this mean?" His facial muscles stiffened again, his gaze fixed on Kong Tianxu's face.

Kong Tianxu did not answer.

He simply raised his right hand and casually slapped Yu Xiaogang on the head.

The action came so suddenly and casually that no one around had time to react.

The onlookers erupted in uproar. Liu Erlong's pupils constricted sharply, and he let out a furious shout as he was about to burst forth!

Just then, there was a "poof" sound.

The hem of Yu Xiaogang's robe bulged slightly at the back.

Chapter 348 Yu Xiaogang: All eyes are on me!

With a soft "poof," a pale purple soul force separated from Yu Xiaogang's body, and Kong Tianxu felt a strange, odorous wave of soul force ripple outwards.

He took a few steps back imperceptibly, his pure white figure gradually fading in the brilliant sunlight, as if merging into the overly bright sun, until in an instant only a nearly transparent outline remained.

But in front of Yu Xiaogang, there was now another creature.

Its entire body was covered in light purple fur, and it had a pair of big, deep blue eyes that blinked constantly. It looked a lot like a dog, at least the outline of its head and its drooping little ears could barely be associated with a canine.

But its size is more like that of a pampered pig. It is over 1.5 meters long, and its waist circumference is probably about the same.

There was a round bump on the top of his head, which was now radiating a layer of brilliant golden light, as if something was stirring under that thin layer of skin.

"Don't move!" Yu Xiaogang's voice suddenly rang out, and his previously somewhat dejected eyes suddenly brightened.

Liu Erlong abruptly stopped in his tracks.

This is... Luo Sanpao?

She looked at Yu Xiaogang and found that there was no pain or fear on his face, only an almost manic joy.

But Liu Erlong quickly forgot about all that.

A dragon's might that made her soul tremble instantly emanated from Kong Tianxu's palm strike, causing her body to start shaking uncontrollably.

The pressure wasn't violent; it could even be described as gentle, yet it carried a supreme majesty that prevented her from having any thought of resistance.

That is the instinctive submission that all beings with dragon blood will feel when facing a true dragon emperor!

Not only her, but all the students watching, whose martial souls were related to dragons, felt the summoning and suppression from the depths of their bloodline at the same moment.

Their martial spirits were released uncontrollably, and spirit rings rose from their feet, flickering in the air.

These martial spirits included earth dragons, flying dragons, and many more sub-dragons, but at this moment, they all bowed their heads in the same direction without exception.

Amidst this sudden and overwhelming pressure, Luo Sanpao changed.
