Looking at Yu Xiaogang, who opened his mouth but did not know how to answer, Su Yan found it even more amusing.
"Yu Xiaogang, why don't you first ask your good disciple whether his true Innate Soul Power was actually at maximum?"
"And how did his Innate Full Soul Power come to be in the first place?"
Yu Xiaogang was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, looking at Tang San with a face full of bewilderment.
Tang San, however, was startled in his heart and barked in exasperation, "Su Yan, what nonsense are you spewing? I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Stop spouting nonsense here! Just because you succeeded doesn't mean everything you say is right. It only proves you were lucky, and that your Martial Soul had better Talent than Teacher's Martial Soul. It's not your own capability!"
"Huh?"
Su Yan was genuinely dumbfounded upon hearing this.
"Are you serious, bro?"
"Just to hide the secret of you cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill since childhood, you'd even go so far as to deceive yourself?"
"You..."
Tang San was instantly terrified inside. Not only did this bastard Su Yan know about the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but he actually even knew that his Innate Full Soul Power came from cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill?!
You already have a path to death!
"Father!"
"We absolutely cannot let Su Yan off today!"
Su Yan's Avatar:???
Su Yan could barely suppress a laugh and replied, "Forget it. Since you don't want to admit it, I won't bother asking."
"Yu Xiaogang, I can tell you quite bluntly: your Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, is not trash, but a genuine Golden Sacred Dragon. The reason it turned into something like Luo Sanpao is simply that you yourself are too much of a trash to bear such a powerful Martial Soul."
"Likewise, my Martial Soul mutated purely because I myself was too much of a trash to withstand its immense power."
"When a Martial Soul is excessively powerful while the Host is overly frail, it will mutate. There is no such thing as a malignant or benign Martial Soul mutation; a Martial Soul mutation merely means the Host is too weak, and the Martial Soul has switched to a different form of existence to adapt to the Host."
Yu Xiaogang was still bewildered about Tang San's situation, but upon hearing Su Yan's speech, his entire mind went blank as well.
The Martial Soul was too powerful, and one's body was too frail, so the Martial Soul changed its way of coexisting with the Host?
What kind of theory was this? Why had the continent never recorded anything like it?!
"Impossible..."
Yu Xiaogang had just blurted out that it was impossible, but then suddenly remembered something.
This bastard Su Yan was so ruthless that he had even called himself trash.
Damn it.
Just to slander me, Yu Xiaogang, as trash, you even insulted yourself?
Su Yan, you truly are a ruthless person!
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and said, "Su Yan, stop spouting nonsense here! To slander me, you'd even demean yourself. I really don't see the point in you talking like this."
"Heh."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and his group could not hold back their laughter.
"Yu Xiaogang, do you think you're worthy?"
"A piece of trash recognized by the entire continent—do you have the qualifications to make Lord Su Yan lower his status alongside you?"
"This is clearly just stating the facts!"
Su Yan also found it amusing; it had to be Yu Xiaogang—no one else could utter something so ridiculous.
"Yu Xiaogang, oh Yu Xiaogang, sometimes I really find it hard to believe how a person could be as stupid as you."
"And being this stupid, you still relied on some plagiarized, worthless theories to call yourself Grandmaster. I'm honestly amused to laughter by your stupidity."
"Your Luo Sanpao can eat radishes to grow stronger—you clearly know this. Since you know it can eat radishes to grow stronger, why couldn't it eat other things to grow stronger?"
"Eating radishes makes it fart more—that was the experience you summarized to amplify the power of Luo Sanpao's Soul Skill. But since you knew this, why didn't you realize that Luo Sanpao is a normal Life form of flesh and blood, capable of eating food, absorbing energy, and digesting on its own?"
"A Life form that can eat, absorb, and digest normally—isn't it obvious that it has the potential to grow?"
Hearing Su Yan's words, Yu Xiaogang was initially bewildered, but then seemed to suddenly realize something, looking down at Luo Sanpao.
Luo Sanpao was nodding frantically.
Truly speaking.
Luo Sanpao genuinely felt wronged!
How did I get stuck with an idiot like Yu Xiaogang? With any other Host, I definitely would have grown up! Even if I couldn't turn into a Golden Sacred Dragon, I couldn't possibly remain a pig forever, could I?
"You..."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Su Yan, you bastard, you must be talking nonsense! You're definitely making up lies to trick me, aren't you?"
"Answer me! Hurry up and say you're lying to me! Hurry and say you're lying to me!"
Yu Xiaogang felt as though he were going mad.
If what Su Yan said was true, then he, Yu Xiaogang, was an outright trash, and an idiot foolish to the utmost extreme.
Luo Sanpao clearly possessed supreme potential, yet he had treated it as a trash pig Martial Soul.
A total breakdown!
This time, Su Yan's words were genuinely something Yu Xiaogang could not accept, and his Spirit began to shatter.
Because he had always had the hope of a breakthrough, always had the hope of becoming a Expert, of becoming a normal Soul Master!
Su Yan retorted impatiently:
"Calling you trash is already a compliment. You're just a clown who doesn't even grasp basic biological common sense."
"Luo Sanpao can eat and digest normally, which proves not only that it can grow, but also that it needs a steady energy intake to sustain its vitality. Yet without you feeding it like a normal Life form, how is it supposed to sustain its survival?"
"You've been stuck at rank twenty-nine and unable to breakthrough. Did you never stop to think, in accordance with the normal laws of energy, why thirty years of cultivating Soul Power couldn't breakthrough a single rank?"
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded.
He fell to his knees on the ground, his face contorted in agonized despair.
Su Yan's words felt like a critical strike bearing true damage, hitting right where his heart was most fragile.
Yu Xiaogang would rather accept that both he and Luo Sanpao were trash than accept that his own ignorance had caused this lifetime of being trash.
Chrysanthemum Douluo began to understand at this point and asked, "Your Holiness, do you mean that Luo Sanpao has been continuously devouring Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power, which is why Yu Xiaogang has been stuck at rank twenty-nine without moving?"
Su Yan nodded slightly and said, "In all likelihood, yes. After all, Luo Sanpao is an independent entity, as well as an Externalized Martial Soul."
"Such a unique existence inevitably requires energy to maintain itself. Without anything feeding it, it could only consume Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power to sustain itself."
"Normally speaking, Innate Soul Power and Talent are very important, but poor Talent merely means that one cultivations slowly. No matter how slowly one cultivations, there will always come a time for a breakthrough. Failing to cultivation to maximum from rank twenty-nine to rank thirty over an entire lifetime is clearly abnormal."
Tang San also had an epiphany at this moment.
That's right!
Holy shit, wasn't that exactly how this bastard Su Yan raised the Little Monkey in the past?
Back then, he had even laughed at Su Yan for being foolish. With the meager Soul Master stipend he received each month barely enough for his own food and drink, he had still treated his Martial Soul like a human being, providing it with food and drink.
It turned out that this bastard Su Yan wasn't foolish at all; he had seen through the secret of the Externalized Martial Soul long ago and had been nurturing the Little Monkey all along!
Damn it.
Truly damn it.
No wonder Su Yan had been such trash when his Martial Soul first had its Awakening, only for his Soul Power to advance so rapidly in the subsequent years. It turned out that his Martial Soul had already provided him with growth feedback, and an exceptionally powerful one at that.
Thinking up to this point, Tang San gritted his teeth and roared in fury:
"Su Yan, you bastard!"
