Chapter 38 Gangzi's Wasted Years
The reason why Yu Xiaogang did not refute Xiao Yan's statement four years ago is because he simply did not respect it.
Although Yan Xiao's arguments about Blue Silver Grass were all reasonable and seemed to have elevated Blue Silver Grass to a new level among auxiliary martial souls, finding a Blue Silver Grass soul master with soul power was easier said than done. Therefore, Gangzi naturally scoffed at this paper.
Even when the dean of Notting College handed him the paper again, he dismissively uttered four words: "A waste of time."
Furthermore, Yu Xiaogang was busy with something more important at the time, so he naturally didn't care about the Blue Silver Grass theory, which he considered to have little merit.
This matter concerns the appearance of a King-level bloodline soul beast in the Soul Hunting Forest. This is crucial to whether he can stand tall and return to the Spirit Hall, so Yu Xiaogang naturally attaches great importance to it.
Back then, out of pride, he couldn't accept the title of honorary elder of the Spirit Hall, which is why he left. He wanted to prove himself through his own strength, that he, Yu Xiaogang, would one day become a true elder of the Spirit Hall. Little did he know that this departure would end in his old age, though he hasn't even returned yet.
However, the law enforcement team that the Spirit Hall had placed in the Soul Hunting Forest seemed to be doing nothing. After a week of meticulous investigation, they still couldn't find the soul beast that possessed the ultimate fire.
At this moment, an elder from the Spirit Hall of Notting City spoke up: "Could it be that it wasn't a King-level Spirit Beast at all, but a ferocious beast that had transformed into human form and left the forest in human form?"
Yu Xiaogang had heard that soul beasts could transform into human form after cultivating for 100,000 years.
Now that things have come to this, it seems that only this explanation makes more sense. Otherwise, how could a soul beast possibly grow wings and escape from the heavily guarded Soul Hunting Forest?
But Yu Xiaogang immediately retorted, his face flushed. He couldn't admit it; if he did, wouldn't that be tantamount to refuting his own initial argument?
He is a master and cannot afford to make mistakes. Although he did not see it with his own eyes, the beast in the Soul Hunting Forest could only be a hundred-year-old king-level soul beast. Otherwise, how could he explain why the beast released killing intent but did not kill him? This is unreasonable.
He blamed everything on the Spirit Hall's enforcement team's poor efficiency; if it weren't for their continuous questioning, the best opportunity to capture the spirit beast wouldn't have been missed.
So he went to the Soul Hunter Forest again. Without the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night, he could only miserably carry a large bag of radishes alone. Fortunately, there weren't any particularly powerful soul beasts on the outskirts of the forest; they were all driven away by Luo Sanpao's farts.
Fortunately, perseverance paid off, and he actually saw a turning point in the Soul Hunter Forest. When he returned to the small lake, he was surprised to find that the place was not as desolate as it had been before. Although it was overgrown with weeds—yes, Blue Silver Grass was now a weed he found annoying—it proved that there were strong signs of life here, perhaps a mythical beast had passed through!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to restore the surrounding environment to normal in just a few weeks. In Yu Xiaogang's opinion, even some titled Douluo could not do it. This must be a miracle.
In addition to the supreme fire-attribute king beast, there is also a mythical beast with life attributes in the Soul Hunting Forest.
That must be it. So he immediately notified the Spirit Hall in Notting City of his discovery, and he simply set up a small tent on the outskirts of the Soul Hunter Forest, next to the guards at the gate.
At first, the enforcement team thought he was just fooling around and really didn't want to tolerate it anymore, but when they saw the dense blue silver grass growing on the side of the small lake, they had no choice but to believe it.
The group had no choice but to rush along with Yu Xiaogang for almost a year. Unfortunately, there was no king beast with ultimate fire. As for the auspicious beasts containing life force, they were currently in Notting Academy, doing the job of being paid to be visited.
Even the most spirited and disciplined troops couldn't withstand this kind of treatment. They gradually stopped doubting their own abilities and instead turned their anger towards Yu Xiaogang, who had put forward these assumptions.
"Do you think even masters sometimes make mistakes?"
"What kind of master is he? I heard that he was expelled from the Spirit Hall, but they just gave him face by saying that he left on his own."
"On the contrary, I think Elder Gong of the Spirit Hall in Notting City is right. This is because Grandmaster is too nervous."
"How can we not be nervous? We've discovered two soul beasts that ordinary people have never even heard of, but they've both vanished without a trace. If we catch them, let alone an honorary elder, I think His Holiness the Pope would even make him an elder."
……
Of course, these have all become Yu Xiaogang's side of the story today.
No one would believe that there could be two King-level Soul Beasts in a forest with a maximum age of only a thousand years, just as no one would believe that a phoenix could fly out of a chicken coop.
Now, all that's left is Yu Xiaogang, who wasted two years without any results.
During the two years he spent desperately searching for soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, emerging masters seemed intent on vying for his position.
So in the following two years, he stopped being so strict and began to take on many disciples. Anyone who was interested in his theories was accepted as a disciple, all in order to compete with this so-called Master Yanxiao.
The reason he was dissuading those people on the streets of Nottingham today was because, as time went on, people began to confirm Master Yanxiao's points one by one.
On the contrary, his arguments in "The Forest of Souls: Extraordinary Creatures Can Be Born in Ordinary Places" were dismissed by people.
So he was jealous.
Xiao Yan had also read that book. Even if those two king-level soul beasts were real, the whole thing was just nonsensical wishful thinking, so he used it to prop up the table legs.
Envious of this, Xiao Gang naturally wanted to make those people admire his arguments again.
"I've already said it, this so-called Master Yanxiao is just imitating my theories, so you shouldn't listen to his lectures."
The people who gathered around to watch the spectacle, regardless of the master's theories, were at least people they rarely saw on a daily basis. They were delighted to see him clench his neck until it turned red, like a crowing rooster.
"Hey, Master, I thought you'd been quiet for a few years and would be more normal. Why are you having another episode? You can't stop taking your medicine," Xiao Yan said to Yu Xiaogang.
Upon seeing Tang San behind the newcomer, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth in hatred.
He had long since stopped talking about the fire-attribute king-level soul beasts, after all, what Elder Gong of the Spirit Hall said was not without reason, but their abundant vitality was real. So, apart from expressing his theories about the Soul Hunting Forest, Gangzi still went there whenever he had free time.
If he hadn't accidentally witnessed Tang San's actions half a year ago, he would still believe there was a mythical beast in the forest. Perhaps there was such a beast, but even if there was, Tang San had absorbed it.
Looking at the vibrant blue silver grass covering the ground, Yu Xiaogang instantly understood that there was no miracle at all; it was all Tang San's doing. He deliberately used his methods in the place where the King Beast used to roam.
This was to halt his research, although Xiao Yan's intentions were not as evil as Gangzi thought.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang now despises Tang San and is less jealous of Xiao Yan. After all, Xiao Yan has kept a low profile these past few years, only using the name Yan Xiao in secret.
Sensing the hatred in the other person's expression, Tang San was not intimidated and extended his right hand.
As the glowing blue light emanated, two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, suddenly lit up on his body.
