"Who?!" Ling Yuan Douluo's face was cold and extremely dissatisfied.
Xie Yue was so anxious to protect Ladio's honor that she almost vomited blood.
Yet Ladio appeared and still treated Xie Yue with this attitude; she felt sorry for Xie Yue!
Xie Yue hurriedly turned around and saw Ladio ascending the stage. Her knees buckled, and she knelt down. "Mr. Ladio, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I have failed your expectations..."
Ladio quickly walked to the center of the platform and calmly looked at Xie Yue.
"You have indeed disappointed me."
Xie Yue's face showed even more shame as she lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing this, Ling Yuan Douluo's face turned ashen. She hurriedly stepped forward to help Xie Yue up, saying angrily, "Don't kneel! Stand up! What are you apologizing to him for? It's clearly him who was irresponsible!"
Ling Yuan Douluo glared angrily at Ladio, her impression of him extremely poor.
Xie Yue, however, refused to get up and remained kneeling before Ladio.
"Ugh! You're really infuriating!" Ling Yuan Douluo snorted angrily, glaring even more furiously at Ladio.
Ladio ignored Ling Yuan Douluo's hostility and said calmly, "Xie Yue, when I first had you practice the Three Elements Fusion Technique, I helped you regulate your meridians so you could succeed. Now, this is the real situation you'll face."
"But you didn't think independently; instead, you just repeated the methods I taught you over and over again—rigid and foolish!"
"Just like those people below, hopelessly stupid!"
Ladio's merciless sarcasm left Xie Yue blushing and tears streaming down his face.
A member of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, a prodigy destined to become a Title Douluo, was now being scolded by Ladio like a child, crying.
Ladio didn't think he was being too harsh; Xie Yue's actions were indeed incredibly foolish.
Mechanically repeating things over and over, without using his brain to think or experiment.
Was this the wisdom a person should possess?
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Mr. Ladio..." Xie Yue wept bitterly, filled with shame.
Ling Yuan Douluo clenched her fists, her lungs practically bursting with rage!
She understood now—Ladio had deliberately humiliated Xie Yue!
And now, with Xie Yue crying so bitterly, he was still making sarcastic remarks?
"Ladio! This is a lecture! Can you stop talking nonsense! You devilish bastard, stop this now!" Ling Yuan Douluo hissed.
Her impression of Ladio had reached rock bottom.
It couldn't get any lower!
If they weren't on that high platform under the spotlight, with her fiery temper, she would definitely have challenged Ladio!
"Ten minutes. Think carefully about how to master the Three Elements Fusion Technique,"
Ladio continued.
Xie Yue wiped away her tears, swallowed hard, and finally managed to put on a normal face and assure Ladio, "Mr. Ladio, I... I will definitely not let you down again!"
"Stand up, no kneeling!" Ladio said coldly.
Xie Yue obediently stood up, immediately closed his eyes, and began to recall the Three Elements Fusion Technique.
He couldn't let Mr. Ladio down again!
Ling Yuan Douluo watched this scene with her arms crossed, sneering repeatedly, a hostile expression appearing on her mature face.
"You can start now? Look, everyone has a lot of complaints about you!" Ling Yuan Douluo's voice was gloating, not caring whether Ladio's failure would affect her.
Ladio turned to look at the million audience members in the hall.
A million faces were all crammed into this hall, their gazes all fixed on Ladio.
Ladio's reprimand of Xie Yue had just been transmitted through the audio equipment.
Moreover, there was a large screen above, broadcasting it simultaneously.
Ladio's severity directly suppressed the dissatisfaction and doubts of the audience.
The scholar's severity instilled fear in everyone present.
It was as if they had returned to the tension and anxiety of their own school days.
They looked at Ladio; most of them were seeing him for the first time.
Seeing the plaster cast on his head, everyone was puzzled.
They immediately labeled Ladio a "weirdo."
Many looked disappointed.
Ladio's body was too young and fit; he clearly wasn't some old scholar.
In any field, youth often means a short learning period, and not necessarily any real achievement; more likely, it's just a publicity stunt. Like the
previous master twenty years ago!
"He's too young! Is this really Master Ladio? I don't think it's reliable. Look at his muscles; he'd be more believable as a male model!" "
I don't know about other things, but his Three Elements Fusion Technique just failed. I'm starting to doubt it!"
"..."
All eyes were on Ladio.
Lingyuan Douluo also heard the crickets chirping below, a smile on his face, seemingly indifferent.
Ladio frowned slightly. Just as he said, he couldn't stand fools, idiots, or morons; seeing them made him want to die—they were simply too much of an eyesore!
Ladio wasted no time, holding up two fingers and saying calmly,
"Two things."
"First, I'll demonstrate the Tri-Element Fusion Technique to you, and then promote it. But this is only the initial version of Xie Yue's. If you want to use it, you'll have to research and improve it yourselves!" As soon as
Ladio finished speaking,
an even louder murmur arose from below. Hearing Ladio's arrangement, they all felt dissatisfied.
They came here to witness more than just a spectacle; they wanted to take the Tri-Element Fusion Technique with them!
Now that Ladio was clearly not giving them the complete version, they were naturally unhappy.
"Master Ladio! Aren't you being a bit stingy? Since you're the most outstanding scholar promoted by the Spirit Hall, why are you holding back?"
"I bet the Tri-Element Fusion Technique isn't complete to begin with! Giving us something impossible to succeed with, making us waste our time?"
"Spirit Hall, don't spoil the fun! If you're so capable, let Master Ladio reveal the complete Tri-Element Fusion Technique!"
"..."
The audience erupted in uproar, all dissatisfied.
Human greed is a double-edged sword; it can make people admire Ladio, but it can also manipulate him.
Ling Yuan Douluo was barely able to contain herself; she desperately wanted to burst out laughing. Was this arrogant, inhuman Ladio truly going to be punished?
The several elders on the Papal Palace rooftop were furious at the sight.
They hadn't even obtained the perfected Three-Element Fusion Technique yet, and these guys actually wanted a piece of the pie?
Just then,
a voice suddenly rang out from below.
"Everyone! Before Master Ladio demonstrates the Three-Element Fusion Technique! I'd like to show off my research—a Soul Power Fusion Technique! Let Master Ladio give me some pointers!"
