"Enough! Enough! Stop it all!!!"
Shi Nian practically roared, his eyes bloodshot.
He rushed to the seven students, raising his hand to shove one aside, but the moment he touched him, he was jolted by the surge of soul power, his mind instantly clearing.
"You're just gilding the lily..."
The words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.
The anger on his face quickly turned into dejection.
A lifetime of effort couldn't compare to someone else's momentary whim.
This disparity was enough to shatter one's spirit!
Seeing this, the seven students hurriedly withdrew their soul power. Seeing Shi Nian, who resembled a vicious wolf, they were too afraid to maintain the Seven-in-One Soul Power Fusion Technique any longer.
"Dean, you..."
Shi Nian came to his senses, looked at the students, his eyes flashing, and raised his hand again, saying:
"No, no, you continue, don't stop..."
Shi Nian forced a smile, urging the students to continue maintaining the Soul Power Fusion Technique.
A soft halo emanated once more, its overall strength having leaped forward thanks to Ladio's improvements!
Anyone with eyes could see the progress.
Shi Nian sighed softly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
He looked at his "masterpiece," took a few deep breaths, and suppressed the boiling bitterness in his chest!
The entire venue was now completely silent.
Although they were far away and couldn't sense the soul power fluctuations, they could guess from the soul power flames and Shi Nian's near-collapse that
Ladio's guidance on the seven-in-one soul power fusion technique was absolutely accurate.
Even a slight exertion had already pushed the limits of "ordinary."
Many people blushed; they had just praised Shi Nian as the new master, while Ladio was undeserving.
Now, the facts had slapped them hard in the face!
Master Ladio was a master, not someone Shi Nian could easily fool.
The audience who had been jeering earlier dared not utter a sound now.
They all stared at the platform with complex expressions, waiting for the situation to unfold.
Yu Luomian snorted coldly, a displeased expression on his face.
"That good-for-nothing Shi Nian, he actually behaved like that? What kind of bullshit Canghui Academy is this? It should just be called the Simp Academy! He must have been threatened by the Spirit Hall, right?"
Yu Luomian said, his words against his will.
"No, Ladio's guidance is incredibly powerful; the strength of the Seven-in-One Soul Fusion Technique has indeed improved. Second brother, we might have misjudged him..."
Yu Yuanzhen said seriously.
He sat up straight, looking at Ladio on the platform with an extremely earnest expression.
Despite his words, Yu Luomian was still unhappy.
It wasn't just the Spirit Hall's disdain for them, but also Ladio's prior announcement.
They could witness a revolutionary spirit theory, but they couldn't obtain it.
Few people would enjoy the feeling of looking on in vain.
...
"Shi Nian, can you even do this? Don't just stand there like an idiot," Ling Yuan Douluo said impatiently.
He had thought Shi Nian could give Ladio a hard time and steal the title of Grandmaster.
As a result, he was quickly reduced to this state by Ladio.
Lingyuan Douluo despised such cowardly men the most… Of course, she also naturally disapproved of Ladio's act of wearing a hood, as if he were running away.
Shi Nian was awakened, and he looked up at Ladio, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
No one could empathize with his current feelings.
He remained silent for a moment, his mind in turmoil, and after much thought, he realized something.
Ladio's instruction of him in this situation must have some ulterior motive, right?
Since he had already offended the Spirit Hall, joining them to protect himself was pointless; he might as well…
"Thump…!"
Shi Nian suddenly knelt down before Ladio.
"Master Radio! Only after your guidance do I understand what it means to say 'a firefly cannot rival the moon's brilliance!' My lifelong theoretical research is utterly insignificant before you."
"I am deeply impressed by your profound knowledge, Master Radio. I beg you, grant me the opportunity to learn from you!"
"You are a pioneer of this era; only by following in your footsteps can we witness the forefront of the Soul Master world!"
Shi Nian shouted loudly, then kowtowed to Radio.
His forehead pressed to the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He had given Radio ample face in this setting, and Radio's acceptance of him was a fitting end to the story!
Everyone was astonished, not expecting such a turn of events.
Shi Nian, who had come to cause trouble, had actually bowed down after receiving guidance from Master Radio.
"Interesting! It seems there's a difference even among masters! Shi Nian's seven-in-one soul power fusion technique was already astonishing, but it's just child's play for Master Radio!"
"As expected of Master Radio, it would be a wonderful story if he accepted Shi Nian as his student!"
"If Shi Nian studied under Master Radio, perhaps his theories would be shared?"
"..."
The crowd discussed animatedly, all quite satisfied with this outcome.
Radio calmly looked at Shi Nian. "Get up."
Shi Nian immediately stood up and called out to Radio, "Teacher..."
"I am not your teacher, and you are not my student. There's no need for such address." Radio refused directly. He understood people's hearts and naturally guessed Shi Nian's intentions.
Shi Nian was stunned, looking at Radio in disbelief.
He wouldn't even accept such a complimentary title?
You just flaunted your knowledge, almost causing his Dao heart to collapse. Were you just joking?
Weren't you just trying to prove yourself?
Ladio said calmly, "Your theory can be further studied and refined; there's a lot of room for development. For example, different martial souls and different soul powers don't require location."
"That's your own business; don't expect anyone to help you,"
Ladio said coldly.
Taking on disciples?
At least in the current Douluo Continent, it's completely unnecessary.
The things he casually tossed out were enough for the soul masters of Douluo Continent to develop for ten thousand years.
It's like an adult teaching a toddler to count.
That's not teaching, it's just enlightenment.
Clearly, Radio had no intention of wasting time on "enlightenment."
Shi Nian was still stunned. Being rejected as a disciple was humiliating enough, but now he'd been kicked in the back.
And judging from Radio's tone, he had no intention of continuing to instruct him.
His face stung as if he'd been slapped.
Shi Nian opened his mouth, about to say something.
At that moment, Xie Yue suddenly said, "Mr. Radio! I've learned the Three Elements Fusion Technique! I can demonstrate it now! I'll definitely show everyone that the Three Elements Fusion Technique is far superior to any soul power fusion skill!"
Xie Yue's face was flushed, and his voice echoed throughout the hall,
drawing everyone's attention back.
