"Fatty! What are you talking about? Shut up!" Flanders glared fiercely at his disciple. It was so late, and here he was, just stirring up trouble!
Ma Hongjun smiled awkwardly and said nothing—after all, he had already backed up Xiao Tian.
At that moment, Xiao Tian spoke with a sinister tone. "Master, although I've never seen your martial soul, Luo Sanpao, since it's a beast martial soul, it should have given you a lot of feedback on its attributes. You haven't had a breakthrough in so many years. Maybe you should train with us and try to break through. What do you think?"
Xiao Tian deliberately dragged out the last sentence.
Xiao Wu followed up, "Yes, yes. Master, you've been researching martial spirit theory for so long, you must have studied it almost thoroughly. When will you start training again? You don't want to be stuck at level 29 forever, do you?"
Flanders couldn't stand it any longer. Xiao Gang had annoyed everyone. Except for his own disciple Tang San, who remained silent, everyone else chimed in.
"Xiao Gang, you handle this yourself. If you can't, the news will get back to the three in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect," Flanders whispered to the small jade jar.
Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched slightly, clearly torn about what to do. He was a senior and a master—training alongside Xiao Tian and the others would be too humiliating.
Xiao Tian noticed Yu Xiaogang's hesitation and signaled Ning Rongrong to add some pressure.
With a slight curve of her eyebrows, Ning Rongrong looked at Yu Xiaogang and said, "Oh, by the way, Master, I've been away for a while and haven't written back to report on my safety. This time, I met Xiao Tian, a genius swordsman. I'm sure my grandfather Jian will be very interested."
The jade jar glared ominously.
Flanders' face twisted—this was a blatant threat!
Shao Xin also said, "Master, I think what they say makes sense. Don't you want to improve? Maybe with some stimulation, you can truly transform into a dragon?"
Shao Xin was also wary—if Jian Douluo really came, they didn't want to take the blame.
Yu Xiaogang was stuck in a dilemma. He had planned to rely on that letter to gain favor with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect during the Oscar list period, but that was no longer possible. Moreover, the letter was from Ning Fengzhi and had nothing to do with Jian Douluo. Rumor had it the two Titled Douluos doted on Ning Rongrong even more than Ning Fengzhi. After all, Ning Fengzhi, as sect leader, had many things to consider.
"Well then, as your teacher, I will lead by example!" Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Master, do you want to carry weights?" Ma Hongjun asked teasingly.
Although he just said the jade jar didn't need to be weighed, now he was asking—what if someone actually wants to put weights on it?
Xiao Tian glanced at Ma Hongjun—indeed one of the shameless ones, how bold!
With the question asked, how could Yu Xiaogang say no?
"Ahem, I'd like to carry weights, but I only prepared eight backpacks," Yu Xiaogang said as if it wasn't that he didn't want to carry weights, but that he simply had no backpacks.
"Is that all? That's no problem," Xiao Tian said, "Fifteen, go make a wooden basket for the master. Not too thick, or it'll be uncomfortable."
Xiao Wu and the others couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Yu Xiaogang's expression was like watching someone who just swallowed a whole field of rice.
Tang San watched silently—he didn't want to get involved. Within a minute, Fifteen returned with a finely crafted wooden backpack filled with several large stones. Xiao Tian lifted it—about thirty pounds.
"Master, Rongrong and Oscar carry 15 jin and 20 jin respectively, but they're auxiliary spirit masters. You should compare yourself to me, Dai Mubai, and Tang San. The lightest is 40 jin. Since you're a bit older, 30 jin is appropriate. Does that work?"
Xiao Tian smiled as he presented the wooden backpack to Yu Xiaogang.
"No problem!" Yu Xiaogang clenched his back teeth. Thirty kilograms! Xiao Tian was treating such an old man like this?
"Xiao Tian, isn't this too heavy?" Tang San finally spoke up. He didn't think his teacher could run nineteen laps carrying thirty kilograms!
Xiao Tian said coolly, "What's heavy about this? Master's level is higher than Rongrong's, so why should his burden be the same? Don't underestimate your teacher. After all, he's from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Even if his martial soul isn't a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, he must have real dragon blood in his veins! Master's got pride too. Are you doubting him?!"
What the heck! Although Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and others sometimes clashed with Xiao Tian, they had to admit his words were flawless and pure conspiracy!
Yu Xiaogang's path was completely blocked!
He felt like a lot of air was stuck in his throat—he couldn't exhale!
So uncomfortable!
This Xiao Tian was truly unbearable!
After this, he'd definitely teach Xiao Tian a lesson and train him harder!
"Alright then, start running. You've wasted too much time already!" Flanders ordered.
"Shao Xin, do you want to stay here and watch, or...?"
Shao Xin said, "I'll watch here to prevent anyone from collapsing from exhaustion. With me around, they can train without worry."
He glanced at the jade jar as he spoke.
Flanders' mouth twitched. "Thanks for your help. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."
His wings spread and he vanished instantly.
In truth, he had nothing to do but was secretly preparing to keep an eye on Xiao Tian and the others.
He was genuinely worried Yu Xiaogang would faint during training—that would be hilarious.
"Teacher, if it really gets too much, I can help share the burden. The rules don't say I can't," Tang San slowed down to run alongside Yu Xiaogang, speaking quietly.
Faced with his disciple's kindness, Yu Xiaogang naturally didn't refuse; after all, this was the purpose of his training. If everyone shared the burden, he wouldn't feel useless.
Leading the way were still Xiao Tian, Ning Rongrong, and the two girls.
"Xiao Tian, how was I just now? Did I do well?"
Ning Rongrong smiled as she looked at Xiao Tian.
