Furina shook her head slightly, a hint of mockery curling her lips. "Upon closer scrutiny, this sentence is actually self-contradictory. If we follow this logic, then his Luo San Pao Martial Soul itself was not 'trash,' yet he failed to break through the Soul Elder Bottleneck for the first half of his life. If not for the medicinal herbs given by his Disciple Tang San, he would likely have spent the rest of his life at Level 29. Doesn't this precisely prove that he himself is a so-called 'trash Spirit Master'? Is this not the most ruthless deconstruction of his own theory?"
Her words grew even sharper, uncovering the reality that many knew but didn't speak of. "In reality, we all know in our hearts that gaps exist between Martial Souls by birth. Some Martial Souls are limited by their own quality, and their owners may never break through Level 30 in their entire lives. Is it because those Spirit Masters don't work hard? No, it is their Martial Souls that fundamentally restrict them; the height of the 'ceiling' determines that they cannot soar. Unless there is a Heaven-Defying Immortal Herb Opportunity, or a method is found to promote the evolution of the Martial Soul's essence, the Bottleneck is absolute."
A low murmur of relief and agreement rose from the audience. Furina's words voiced the confusion they had vaguely felt during their recent research but hadn't dared to question due to the "Grandmaster's" halo. Upon closer inspection, Yu Xiaogang's theories were indeed riddled with contradictions.
"Therefore," Furina concluded, "Yu Xiaogang's Ten Great Core Competencies theory is full of historical limitations and internal contradictions. We should no longer deify him or treat him as an insurmountable authority. Of course, from a historical perspective, it was not easy to propose a systematic theory in his era. If he were here today, he might have become a decent scholar, but he never would have imagined that ten thousand years later, Spirit Master theory would stagnate in many aspects, and even regress in certain fields."
Then, she threw out a viewpoint that made all the scholars gasp. "Following this line of thought, let us look at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, currently hailed as the 'world's number one auxiliary Tool Martial Soul'." She paused, satisfied to see the widened eyes and expressions of disbelief in the audience. "In my view, in a strictly defined sense, it is also a 'defective,' or one might say 'flawed,' Martial Soul."
The hall fell into a dead silence, where even a needle drop could be heard. Associating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with the term "trash Martial Soul," even indirectly, was a shocking statement enough to shake the Spirit Master world.
Furina was not surprised by the reaction and asked in return, "Is it not so? Aside from the ancestor Ning Rongrong who evolved because of the qiluo tulip ten thousand years ago, has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School ever produced a second Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master in the passing of ten thousand years? Their Martial Souls are imprisoned by an invisible shackle at Level 79, unable to be surpassed. This in itself is the most powerful proof of the Martial Soul's Innate defect."
"They may be content with the hollow title of 'world's number one auxiliary,' but they have never considered that failing to find a way to break through the Martial Soul's limit using their own strength for ten thousand years is itself a form of indolence. Hmph, if they continue to be complacent and refuse to evolve, one day, a more powerful auxiliary Martial Soul will be born and replace them entirely!"
The scholars present fell into silence. They found that they were actually unable to refute her. From the perspective of Martial Soul integrity and growth potential, the Level 79 upper limit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was indeed a massive, unignorable "defect."
