Chapter 133: The Clown Act in Full View of Everyone, Is He Perhaps an Idiot?
"You!"
Yu Xiaogang never expected Ning Rongrong to know his identity. His face instantly turned ashen.
He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging into his palms.
Again!
Again with that look!
After all these years, everyone still looked at him with that gaze reserved for trash!
Flender hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"Xiaogang is truly exceptional in theory. His Ten Great Theories have had a profound influence on the Spirit Master’s world..."
"What’s the use of great theory if your own strength is lacking?"
Ning Rongrong muttered dismissively.
Zhu Zhuqing, for once, nodded in agreement.
In the World of Spirit Masters, strength reigns supreme. If you can’t cultivate yourself to a higher level, how can you teach others?
Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of fire rush straight to the top of his head.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
He must not get angry.
He must not stoop to the level of a little girl.
He would prove himself. He would use facts to slap their faces.
"You don’t need to look at me through colored glasses just because of my spirit powerRank. Little San is the one I personally taught."
Yu Xiaogang said, enunciating each word clearly: "A Spirit Elder at twelve years old, with a third spirit ring surpassing the theoretical limit. Doesn’t that speak to my ability?"
He said this with confidence, even a hint of smugness.
But he failed to notice the peculiar expressions that had appeared on everyone’s faces present.
Dai Mubai’s mouth twitched. Ma Hongjun’s face turned red from holding back laughter. Oscar turned his face away. Ning Rongrong directly rolled her eyes.
"Ahem..."
Even Flender coughed awkwardly a couple of times.
If not for Lin Qingmo, Tang San could indeed be considered a Genius.
A twelve-year-old Spirit Elder would be top-tier anywhere.
But now... everyone involuntarily looked towards Lin Qingmo.
That guy was leaning against a tree, looking completely unconcerned.
Feeling everyone’s gaze, he looked up and raised an eyebrow.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Yu Xiaogang also followed everyone’s line of sight.
Only then did he carefully examine Lin Qingmo.
He had thought he looked familiar before, but now the more he looked, the more he felt he’d seen him somewhere.
Finally, Lin Qingmo straightened up and walked towards him.
"Long time no see."
Lin Qingmo grinned, his tone as casual as if greeting an old friend.
But his next sentence came out dripping with sarcasm: "The fame-seeking Grandmaster, Yu, Xiao, Gang."
"!!!"
The training ground fell terrifyingly quiet.
Flender opened his mouth to say something, but ultimately closed it.
The others wore expressions of watching a good show.
The smell of gunpowder was too strong.
His face dark as coal, Yu Xiaogang stared intently at Lin Qingmo, his mind frantically searching his memories.
He finally remembered.
It was the kid from Nuoding Academy who had looked down on his theories.
"It’s you."
Yu Xiaogang squeezed the two words out from between his teeth.
Lin Qingmo shrugged: "How kind of you to still remember me. So, after all these years, have your theories been perfected? Or are you still misleading disciples?"
"You—"
"What about me?"
Lin Qingmo interrupted him.
Yu Xiaogang barely maintained his composure: "Hmph, my teaching results are solid and tangible. Little San is my best proof."
"Proof of what?"
Ning Rongrong interjected: "Proof that you were lucky enough to find a student with decent talent but extremely poor character?"
"Indeed, hahaha..."
This time, Ma Hongjun couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.
Even the usually silent Zhu Zhuqing curved the corners of her mouth slightly.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang being looked down upon by the others, Tang San couldn’t bear it anymore.
"Don’t you dare speak about my teacher like that!"
He stepped in front of Yu Xiaogang, glaring at Lin Qingmo.
The anger in his eyes wasn’t even concealed.
Why did everyone side with Lin Qingmo?
His teacher was clearly amazing, so why couldn’t they see it?
Lin Qingmo sighed: "Tang San, I didn’t say your teacher is bad. I’m just stating facts."
"It’s normal for theories to have flaws. But stubbornly refusing to admit them and insisting on playing the Grandmaster, that’s just boring."
"What do you know!"
Tang San roared: "The guidance my teacher gave me is something you people will never understand!"
"Is that so?"
Lin Qingmo looked at him.
"Then did he tell you what consequences interrupting someone’s spirit ring absorption would have? Did he teach you that acting recklessly in the Spirit Beast forest would implicate your teammates?"
"I..."
Tang San was left speechless.
The incident with Oscar was indeed his fault.
He had been too eager to prove himself at the time and hadn’t considered the consequences.
Thinking back now, if Oscar’s future development had been affected by an unsuitable spirit ring, then he... "And the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny."
Lin Qingmo continued: "Do you know how much trouble offending them would bring? Next time we go to Star Dou Great Forest, have you thought about everyone’s safety?"
Question after question left Tang San tongue-tied.
Yu Xiaogang’s face was ashen.
Flender hadn’t told him about the incidents that had happened between them.
But hearing about interrupting spirit ring absorption also made his heart jolt.
If he had known his student was so reckless, he would have certainly criticized him.
But now was not the time to discuss this.
"Enough."
Yu Xiaogang said in a low voice: "I am a teacher invited by Flender. If you have any objections, you can go to him."
"But for now, I am the teacher, and you are the students. Students should listen to their teacher."
He tried to use his position to pressure them.
But Lin Qingmo just laughed, openly mocking: "Alright then, teacher. What do you want to teach us? How to be stuck at Rank 29 for a lifetime, unable to make a Breakthrough?"
"You!!!"
Seeing Lin Qingmo still exposing his shortcomings, relentlessly rubbing salt in his wounds.
Yu Xiaogang completely lost his composure.
He turned sharply: "Flender, I recall Shrek Academy’s admission standard is to only accept monsters."
Flender awkwardly pushed his glasses up.
"That’s right, Xiaogang. These children are all one-in-a-million monster seedlings."
"Then what about him?"
Yu Xiaogang’s finger pointed directly at Lin Qingmo, his tone carrying obvious doubt and a trace of barely concealed contempt.
"If I remember correctly, his name is Lin Qingmo, from Nuoding Academy, with Innate Spirit Power of level four, and his Spirit is Blue Silver Grass."
"A Blue Silver GrassSpirit Master with Innate level four, a standard Waste Martial Soul."
Yu Xiaogang said, enunciating each word as if pronouncing some kind of verdict.
"How did he manage to sneak into your so-called ’Monster Academy’?"
"Flender, when did your standards drop so low that you’d even accept such trash?"
"?"
The air suddenly went quiet for a moment.
Then—
"Pfft... Hahaha!"
Ma Hongjun was the first one who couldn’t hold back. Holding his stomach, he laughed so hard he doubled over, his fat jiggling.
"Oh my god, Oscar, did you hear that? He said Lin Qingmo is trash? Where did this weirdo come from? I’m dying of laughter!"
Oscar also couldn’t hold back anymore, his shoulders shaking as he winked at Ma Hongjun.
"Fatty, keep it down. He is the ’Grandmaster’~ unbeatable in theory. Maybe in his theories, someone like Lin Qingmo is considered trash?"
He particularly stressed the words "Grandmaster," lacing them with full sarcasm.
Dai Mubai crossed his arms, a cold curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He didn’t have a favorable impression of Lin Qingmo.
But right now, looking at this so-called Grandmaster who had suddenly appeared acting all high and mighty, and being that bastard Tang San’s teacher, he felt even more displeased.
He snorted coldly.
Dai Mubai didn’t speak.
But the look he gave Tang San clearly said, "Watch how you embarrass yourself."
Even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing slightly turned her head, lightly covering the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.
Clearly, she also found the scene absurdly amusing.
Ning Rongrong’s eyes widened even further.
She looked at Yu Xiaogang, then at Lin Qingmo.
Her little face was filled with astonishment that clearly read, "Is this person perhaps an idiot?"
