Chapter 9: Yu XiaogangIf one were to ask who Chu Feng hated most in the Douluo World, Tang San would only rank second; the first-place position, undoubtedly, belonged to none other than Yu Xiaogang.Although the former was selfish and liked double standards, at least he possessed some strength and talent.Conversely, looking at Yu Xiaogang, from beginning to end, he kept claiming that there were no trash Spirits, only trash Spirit Masters.Yet he was unwilling to admit that he was trash, pushing all responsibility onto Luo San Pao, blaming Luo San Pao's failed mutation for causing him to stagnate as a Spirit Grandmaster.Instead of thinking about how to achieve a Breakthrough in spirit power, he spent his days complaining about heaven and others; aside from studying some useless theories all day, he simply gave up on himself.That would be fine; Chu Feng wouldn't care about a clown who had given up on himself, provided that he stayed hidden in a corner and didn't cause trouble.But unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang was both weak and loved to show off, always thinking his theories were invincible and that everyone should look up to him.Take the present moment, for instance.Chu Feng arrived outside Ma Xiunuo's room.Yu Xiaogang and Ma Xiunuo were conversing; Tang San stood behind Yu Xiaogang and, hearing the commotion, turned his head to look at Chu Feng.His eyes carried a hint of smugness.In Tang San's view, Yu Xiaogang was knowledgeable and willing to go to Spirit Hall to demand an explanation on his behalf; he was a rare, good teacher."So what if you, Chu Feng, were recruited by Spirit Hall? Can you find such a good teacher as I have?"With such a teacher, Tang San believed that his future achievements would certainly not be inferior to anyone else's.So what if Spirit Hall didn't want him, Tang San? He, Tang San, still had Yu Xiaogang.A learned and talented teacher who had once published the "Ten Core Competencies of Spirits" theory.Tang San had long secretly sworn in his heart that one day, he would trample Chu Feng underfoot and let Spirit Hall know who the true Genius was!Under Yu Xiaogang's brainwashing style of education, Tang San's mind had already been molded into Yu Xiaogang's shape, and he regarded all of his theories as absolute treasures."?"Chu Feng walked past Tang San, a question mark slowly appearing on his forehead as he glanced at Tang San as if looking at a fool.He didn't understand what this little brat was being so smug about; was his brain caught in a door?At this moment, Ma Xiunuo, who was conversing with Yu Xiaogang, also noticed Chu Feng's arrival.Yu Xiaogang was still incessantly blaming Ma Xiunuo, but suddenly noticed that the other party ignored him completely and walked away, which immediately made him furious.The more incompetent a person was, the more inferior they felt; he believed that Ma Xiunuo was looking down on him."Little Feng, you're here."Previously, Ma Xiunuo had kept a straight face, but upon seeing Chu Feng appear, he finally revealed a faint smile."Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, Sister Si Si said you wanted to help me retest my spirit power?"Chu Feng asked.Ma Xiunuo nodded."Yes. Although I have always been assured of Yuntao's work, this time it needs to be reported to Spirit City, so naturally, we need to be more cautious.""I understand, Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo." Chu Feng nodded obediently.Seeing Chu Feng's sensible appearance, Ma Xiunuo chuckled and said to Yu Xiaogang:"Grandmaster, you've seen it for yourself. I need to take this child to test his spirit power now; this concerns Spirit City, so I truly cannot spare any time."As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Tang San, and he continued:"Besides, I previously told Tang San that I might be busy until very late today and that he could go back and return in a few days. It was he who was unwilling to leave and insisted on waiting here."Chu Feng had already joined Spirit Hall, while Tang San was the Grandmaster's Disciple; Ma Xiunuo naturally knew which was more important.It was only out of consideration for the fact that the principal of Nuoding Academy had some friendship with Yu Xiaogang that he hadn't already had people kick Yu Xiaogang out; otherwise, why would he allow him to bark here?However, Yu Xiaogang was thick-skinned; not only did he have no intention of leaving, but he also cast his gaze upon Chu Feng."Little San, is this the child you mentioned with Innate Full Spirit Power and the Moon Martial Soul?" he asked.Tang San nodded."Is that so…"After receiving an affirmative reply from Tang San, Yu Xiaogang continued to stare at Chu Feng while rubbing his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.Ma Xiunuo couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Yu Xiaogang any longer and said to Chu Feng:"Little Feng, come with me. I will take you to test your spirit power."Having said that, Ma Xiunuo led Chu Feng out of the room and headed towards the end of the corridor.Tang San looked at the backs of Ma Xiunuo and Chu Feng, then looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked:"Teacher, shall we go over together?""Let's go over and take a look. I feel that Chu Feng has great potential; perhaps he could also become my Disciple."Yu Xiaogang said matter-of-factly.He had indeed come to find Tang San, because Tang Hao had once approached him and asked him to take care of Tang San.Seeing that Tang San had not returned to the academy for a long time, Yu Xiaogang was worried that if something happened to Tang San, that "His Excellency Clear Sky" would smash him to death with a hammer; that was why he had come to Spirit Hall.But after arriving at Spirit Hall and hearing Tang San's description of Chu Feng, he immediately had other thoughts.Yu Xiaogang had originally harbored selfish motives in taking Tang San as a Disciple.He himself was trash, unable to break through level 29 spirit power, and could only prove himself by cultivating a Genius.Tang San was merely a tool for him to prove his theories.Now that he had encountered a better prospect than Tang San, how could he let it slip by?After all, Yu Xiaogang recognized this Moon Martial Soul…That was a story from a long time ago; back then, he was only seven or eight years old and had not yet been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.One day, a man in white claiming to be from Spirit Hall arrived alone, and then, a bright moon rose into the sky.Very few people in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan knew what had actually happened.But Yu Xiaogang knew that after that, his father, Yu Yuanzhen, had been severely injured and had been bedridden for a full month.One must know that Yu Yuanzhen was a Super Douluo with a spirit power of level 95, and his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit was hailed as the number one Beast Spirit in the World.Yet Yu Yuanzhen had been defeated, failing to even harm a single hair on the other party's head.From then on, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had kept a much lower profile....On the other side, led by Ma Xiunuo, Chu Feng arrived at the end of the corridor.Before them were three tall arched doors; Ma Xiunuo pushed open the door on the far left and led Chu Feng inside.Following closely behind were Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.Ma Xiunuo looked back at Yu Xiaogang, immediately feeling somewhat dissatisfied."Grandmaster, this is a restricted area of Spirit Hall; unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter."But Yu Xiaogang didn't take it seriously and, still utilizing his specialty of being thick-skinned, said:"Ma Xiunuo, Little San is also here for an advancement assessment, so how could he be unauthorized personnel? We will just wait to the side for you."A look of displeasure appeared on Ma Xiunuo's face, but in the end, he did not flare up; he merely let out a cold snort."Then wait."Having said that, he no longer paid any attention to Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, and led Chu Feng to a table.On the table sat a yellow crystal ball, which looked much more Advanced than the one Su Yuntao had held back then."Little Feng, place your hand on it, relax your body, and release your spirit power. Do not hold back."
