Chapter 52: Yu Xiaogang, You Are Truly Hypocritical to the Extreme, Shameless

Lin Yu seemed different from all the children of the same age Tang San had encountered in Notting City, making him unable to help but take a few more looks.

Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu also stopped their steps, and Xiao Wu asked suspiciously: "What's wrong, Third Brother?"

Tang San withdrew his gaze and replied with a smile: "Nothing, just felt that those guys behind us seemed quite powerful."

With Tang San saying that, Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu also sized up Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others behind them.

Xiao Wu looked disdainful and said haughtily: "Pfft, can they be as powerful as us?"

"Hmm, those children behind us indeed don't look like ordinary people; they should be quite talented." Yu Xiaogang gave a fair evaluation, but was also extremely confident: "However, Little San, Xiao Wu, they definitely cannot compare to you two."

"You two are not even nine years old and are about to break through to the Great Spirit Master realm. Being able to step into the two-ring realm before the age of nine, even among genius spirit masters across the entire continent, is rare."

Yu Xiaogang smiled conceitedly and continued: "Hehe, let's go, after collecting the subsidy, go back and continue cultivating. You two must strive to break through level 20 as soon as possible."

"Hmm." Tang San nodded, not taking Lin Yu too seriously either.

He, Tang San, had lived two lives, both as a heaven-favored child.

In this life, he had even more outstanding talent, and with the help of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the other five Tang Sect unique skills, Tang San was very confident in himself.

Although Lin Yu made him feel extraordinary, in Tang San's view, he was still far from being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

But Tang San would never have imagined how terrifying Lin Yu's strength was.

And he would never have expected that Lin Yu would become the nightmare and shadow of his, Tang San's, entire future life.

Tang San no longer paid attention to Lin Yu, continuing to walk towards the Spirit Hall branch with Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu, while asking: "Teacher, I have a premonition that I will be able to break through level 20 soul power within a month. By then..."

"Rest assured, Little San, by then Teacher will seek the Academy Dean's help to assist you in obtaining a second spirit ring of six hundred years." Yu Xiaogang said.

"Six hundred years..." Tang San was a little unsatisfied.

He had been a spirit master for over two years, and his understanding and knowledge of this Douluo Continent world and spirit master cultivation were deepening.

Tang San was not stupid; through existing knowledge and his own understanding, he had already vaguely guessed that the limit of spirit ring absorption was related to physique, martial soul, etc.

In other words, as long as the physique was strong enough and the martial soul and spirit ring were compatible enough, there was no so-called limit to the age of the spirit ring absorbed.

But in the martial soul theory of the Ten Core Competencies published by Yu Xiaogang, one of them was about the limit of spirit master spirit ring absorption.

First ring, limit 423 years.

Second ring, limit 764 years.

This caused Tang San to be uncertain about his own guess, but he also developed doubts about Yu Xiaogang's theory.

Is there really a limit to spirit ring absorption?

Tang San felt that he could absorb a second spirit ring of a higher age, but he didn't know how to tell Yu Xiaogang. Saying this out loud would be equivalent to a disciple slapping his teacher's face!

And Yu Xiaogang's Ten Core Competencies were already highly questioned, and he was very sensitive about this matter.

Tang San hesitated for a moment and said in a relatively tactful way: "Teacher, is there really a limit to spirit ring absorption? Is there a possibility that my second spirit ring could absorb one exceeding the limit of 764 years?"

With Tang San saying that, Yu Xiaogang was already somewhat displeased inside.

But for this beloved disciple with heaven-defying talent, Yu Xiaogang, despite his displeasure, didn't show it on his face. He said very decisively: "Absolutely impossible!"

"Little San, it seems you still haven't carefully read the martial soul theory of the Ten Core Competencies published by Teacher!"

"The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls I once published were all Teacher's own painstaking efforts, years of practice, and research. Every stage of human spirit master spirit ring absorption has an absolute limit!"

"No spirit master can absorb a spirit ring exceeding the 764-year limit for their second spirit ring!"

"Little San, you must believe Teacher. Teacher letting you absorb a second spirit ring of around six hundred years will absolutely not be wrong."

"This..."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang so conceited, Tang San couldn't continue, and could only comply: "I understand, disciple naturally believes Teacher."

"Hmm." Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction, then said with a smile: "Little San, Xiao Wu, once you break through to the Great Spirit Master realm, you can, like me, collect a subsidy of three Gold Spirit Coins from the Spirit Hall here for free every month."

"Being able to get three Gold Spirit Coins for free every month will allow your quality of life to improve greatly. By then, you won't have to do the work of a work-study student anymore, and can spend more time on cultivation."

"Mmhmm!"

Tang San and Xiao Wu both smiled happily.

All three were in a beautiful mood, continuing to walk towards the branch, planning to take the money for free and leave.

And the conversation of the three, Yu Xiaogang, was all heard by Lin Yu behind them.

Learning that the three of them were here to collect Gold Spirit Coins for free, Lin Yu felt increasingly disgusted and nauseated by these three, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Yu Xiaogang: "These guys, they actually have the face to come to the Spirit Hall branch to collect subsidies every month?"

Not to mention Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, at least they currently had no grudges with the Spirit Hall.

Tang San also didn't know that Tang Hao had a grudge with the Spirit Hall.

But this Xiao Wu knew clearly that her mother was hunted by the Spirit Hall, and she had transformed and recultivated to come to the human world. She also carried the goal of avenging her mother.

As a result, she actually had the nerve to run to the Spirit Hall to collect subsidies every month?

Her skin was truly thick!

And regarding Yu Xiaogang's words, it made Lin Yu feel even more nauseated to the extreme!

Was his martial soul theoretical knowledge researched by himself?!

"Painstaking efforts, years of practice, researched by yourself? Yu Xiaogang, you are truly hypocritical to the extreme, shameless, daring to say anything!"

Lin Yu's mocking voice suddenly came from behind.

Since they met today, if he didn't fix Yu Xiaogang and make him lose all reputation, he would truly be unworthy of being a transmigrator!

"Hmm?"

Hearing the mocking voice from behind, Yu Xiaogang's expression sank instantly.

The three stopped their steps again and looked at Lin Yu behind them.

"Hey! You kid, who are you calling shameless! Are you seeking death! Do you believe I'll hit you!" Xiao Wu looked unhappy, hands on her hips, clenching her little fists and acting fierce towards Lin Yu.

Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher, and Xiao Wu naturally respected him quite a bit.

And this Xiao Wu's personality was also one that feared nothing, a personality that feared the world wouldn't be chaotic enough and loved to cause trouble.

To be honest, a spirit beast that had transformed and recultivated had no strength, and entering the human world with such a personality that loved to cause trouble was simply seeking death.

Regarding Xiao Wu's thought process, Lin Yu was also extremely speechless.

To avenge her mother, she entered the human world to transform and recultivate, not cultivating properly to grow in the shadows and find an opportunity for revenge later, but as soon as she entered the human world, she became love-brained.

She didn't do the serious business of revenge, but instead sold cuteness every day, fell in love with the human Tang San, human and beast got together, and later she even walked into the tiger's den, running to the Spirit Hall to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament to send herself to death.
