Chapter 20 Zhongli's Doubts
How dare you say we're weak? You say the Shrek Seven Devils are weak?
Judging by your age, you're about the same as us; even the Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Academy's team couldn't beat us, and you? If you and your spoiled prince teamed up, we'd be bullying them!
The one with the darkest expression wasn't Tang San, Dai Mubai, or the others, but rather "Grandmaster," who was being carried on Dai Mubai's back. His greatest sore spot in life was his status as a Great Soul Master, and yet someone had poked at it like this. This little girl looks so cute, how come her mouth is so hateful? Great Soul Master? So what if she's a Great Soul Master? Does being a Great Soul Master mean she can't be a Grandmaster?
The difference between a Grand Soul Master and a Grandmaster is only one word, okay!
"Young lady, watch your words. Not just anyone can be offended."
At this moment, the hot and beautiful woman spoke calmly.
A flash of red light appeared in the beautiful woman's eyes; the next moment, seven spirit rings rose from beneath her feet. Passersby who witnessed this scene hurriedly retreated to a distance, their faces showing awe.
Even in the treacherous Heaven Dou City, a Soul Saint is a figure of extremely high status. Generally speaking, even princes of the Heaven Dou Empire, such as Xue Beng, would show great respect to a Soul Saint.
"Rongrong, you said you felt that this 'master's' training had been a great help to you. In my opinion, from a purely rational perspective, this is still debatable."
Zhong Li finally spoke. He looked at Ning Rongrong and said in a very tactful way.
"Hmph! Your Highness. Although I don't know your soul power level, you're making a big mistake if you dare to underestimate the students of Shrek Blue Tyrant Soul Master Academy. If you're not convinced, you can try a soul battle with any of our students."
"Except for support classes."
Yu Xiaogang looked down at Zhong Li, speaking in as calm a tone as possible. It would be a lie to say he harbored no resentment or hatred towards the people of the Heaven Dou Empire. His Shrek Academy, and so many of its research achievements, were all lost because the Heaven Dou Empire was gone.
If he knew that all of this was caused by Zhongli, he would hate Zhongli even more.
"No, that's not what I meant. What good is it if you can defeat me? And what does it prove if you can't?"
Unexpectedly, Zhong Li shook his head and said...
"I don't mean to imply that your students are weak; on the contrary, I objectively acknowledge that they are already very capable among their peers."
Upon hearing Zhong Li mention this, a hint of self-satisfaction appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.
"However, this doesn't mean that your teaching and training methods are truly helpful to them. Is it possible that they are inherently talented, and even without any guidance, they would be stronger than most Soul Masters of the same age?"
Zhong Li then asked. For a moment, not only the master, but also Flander, Liu Erlong, and even Dai Mubai and others were stunned.
"As far as I know, you guys are known as the Shrek Seven Devils: Evil-Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai, whose White Tiger Martial Soul is inherited from the Star Luo Royal Family, is already top-tier, and together with Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Cat, you can form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Netherworld White Tiger."
"Tang San, the Thousand-Handed Asura, appears to have the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, but in reality, he possesses innate full soul power."
"Ma Hongjun, the Evil Fire Phoenix, although his martial soul has some flaws, is still a phoenix martial soul, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a super martial soul."
"Oscar, the Sausage Specialist, possesses a food-type martial soul and reached the level of a three-ring Soul Master at the age of fourteen, which at least equates to a talent with innate full soul power. Among food-type soul masters, his cultivation speed has almost broken records."
"Of course, there's also Ning Rongrong, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the king of weapon spirits, unmatched by any other support-type spirit."
After Zhong Li finished commenting on each point, the Shrek Academy members opposite him all changed their expressions drastically.
They had only met this prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire once, yet he had already uncovered every detail of their background that they could find out! Terrifying, truly terrifying.
There's a saying: "I'm not afraid of you laning, but I'm afraid of you just throwing a weapon at me!"
Besides being shocked, Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly. Of everyone present, she was the first to realize what Zhong Li was about to say.
That's right, they were geniuses to begin with; in fact, Shrek Academy's admission standards were to only accept geniuses, and those with slightly less talent couldn't even get through the door.
So, isn't it only natural that Shrek Academy's students are stronger than ordinary people? Does that mean that if Zhu Zhuqing hadn't joined Shrek Academy, but instead joined another Soul Master Academy, or even a sect, she would be weaker than ordinary Soul Masters?
However, the constant motivational speeches at the academy, coupled with frequent spirit battles and an extremely high win rate, gradually made them overlook these most crucial issues.
But thinking about it carefully, were there really many powerful Soul Masters fighting in the Soto City Soul Arena before? Why didn't the teacher arrange for them to fight every day after they came to Heaven Dou City?
They did win their last battle against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; however, that victory was anything but easy, it was incredibly difficult. In the end, it was only through Tang San's use of that miraculous hidden weapon that they managed to turn the tide.
After that battle, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others were actually a little discouraged. After all, if it weren't for Tang San's amazing hidden weapons, they would have already lost; especially Dai Mubai, who fought Yu Tianheng one-on-one, but the result was not ideal, and he didn't have the same imposing presence as when he fought against the Soul Masters in the Soto City Soul Arena.
As a result, Dai Mubai approached Tang San, hoping that Tang San would teach him that amazing hidden weapon skill, but Tang San directly refused.
"You can learn, but you have to start from a young age. If you want to learn now, you first have to destroy your martial spirit. Then you have to start all over again. After cultivating for several decades, you should be able to learn."
Zhu Zhuqing, who was overhearing this, rolled her eyes. Putting aside the issue of destroying one's martial spirit, I'm thinking, you haven't even been practicing this hidden weapon technique for decades!
If you don't want to teach, fine. Everyone has their own secrets, and she completely understands that. But why use such a high-sounding excuse?
"To verify the results of teaching and training, there must be a comparison to ensure scientific credibility. At least in my opinion, your current strength is completely consistent with your martial spirit and talent. It is not lower than the normal level of talent, but it is not higher either."
Zhongli glanced at them and said very honestly.
"Hmph, what utterly arrogant!"
The master was so angry that his face turned purple. What kind of twisted logic was this? But, he couldn't think of a way to refute what Zhongli was saying.
"Fifth Prince, further words are pointless. We are both Soul Masters; let's settle this with our skills. You say I possess innate full Soul Power, that's true, but I only have a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. A truly useless Martial Soul. Do you dare to make a bet with me?"
A glint of wisdom flashed in Tang San's eyes as he spoke.
