“This book is written incorrectly.
Why shouldn’t I be allowed to say so?” Chu Chengzhou retorted without any politeness.
“Written incorrectly?
Where is it incorrect?” Hearing someone say his writing was incorrect, Yu Xiaogang temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart.
He wanted to see exactly how he had written it incorrectly.
“Oh?
This teacher, do you want to debate with me?”
“That’s right!
If you only know how to spout nonsense, then you must apologize to me!” Yu Xiaogang said with a straight face and a serious expression.
“Why should I apologize to you?
Besides, if I win the debate against you, what benefits can you offer?”
“Why should you apologize?
Simply because I can have the academy expel you!” Yu Xiaogang lifted his head.
With his relationship with the dean, expelling this brat was just a matter of a single sentence, wasn’t it?
“My grandfather is the dean.
Who is going to expel me?
Have they gotten his permission?” Hearing this, Chu Chengzhou immediately perked up.
Are you kidding?
My dean grandfather would expel me?
You must be dreaming!
Suddenly, a look of astonishment appeared on Yu Xiaogang’s face.
He had really overplayed his hand!
It was true that he was friends with Su Nan, but not to the point where he could make him expel his own grandson.
“Ahem~, well, if you can point out the errors in this book with sound reasoning, this Grandmaster can take you as a Disciple.
You should know, my title of Grandmaster is recognized even by the Spirit Hall!”
Coughing twice, Yu Xiaogang emphasized his title of Grandmaster to change the subject, avoiding further embarrassment.
Hearing this, Chu Chengzhou widened his eyes.
The title of Grandmaster recognized by the Spirit Hall?
Fine, Bibi Dong is the Spirit Hall Pope and can represent the Spirit Hall.
Since you are Bibi Dong’s first love and old flame, saying the Spirit Hall recognizes your title of Grandmaster isn’t entirely bullshit.
However, official recognition from the Spirit Hall is useless; surely the vast majority of Spirit Hall high-level officials have objections to this, right?
“Forget about being a Disciple.
I see that belt of yours is a storage spirit tool, right?
If I win the debate, give it to me!
If I lose, I will sincerely apologize to you and this book.” Chu Chengzhou pointed at the black belt tied around Yu Xiaogang’s waist.
The belt was entirely black with dark patterns.
Moreover, twenty-four milky-white jade stones, each the size of a fingernail, were evenly embedded on the belt.
The jade had a warm, lustrous quality; it was clearly a rare and precious gem.
If nothing went wrong, this belt was the gift Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San in the original story: Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges.
storage spirit tools are rare items, and the internal space of “Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges” is not small; each jade stone embedded on it possesses one cubic meter of internal space.
In terms of market value, twenty-four one-cubic-meter storage spaces would cost at least 240,000 gold coins!
“Hmph~, you child have quite the imagination!
The internal space of my storage spirit tool is not small at all; pick something else!” Although Yu Xiaogang did not believe this brat in front of him could point out his errors and convince him, the value of the ‘wager’ on both sides was not equal, so he would not agree.
“Then, if this storage spirit tool is taken apart, would the individual pieces still be useful?
If they are still useful, I only need one jade stone!” Chu Chengzhou lowered his conditions.
If nothing went wrong, the twenty-four jade stones embedded on “Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges” were space-attribute jade stones.
Space-attribute jade stones naturally come with internal storage space.
In the Douluo Continent, where soul guidance technology has been lost, many storage spirit tools are made this way.
Although the main body of the belt was engraved with a Soul Guidance Array, its purpose was mostly just to expand the internal space.
If a single jade stone were removed, it should still be useful; at most, the internal storage space would just shrink.
“This…” Yu Xiaogang hesitated.
What if it broke when he took it apart?
Wouldn’t his storage spirit tool become unusable?
Seeing Yu Xiaogang’s hesitation, Chu Chengzhou continued: “This teacher, you must be Teacher Yu Xiaogang who wrote this “martial soul ten core competitiveness”, right?
If I can convince you, doesn’t that mean my insights are correct, and you could obtain a major research result that shocks the World?
Giving me one jade stone wouldn’t be a loss for you!
If I lose, you don’t even need to take apart the spirit tool, which means you suffer no loss, right?”
That’s true~, whether I win or lose, this Grandmaster won’t lose out.
Pfft~, this Grandmaster is a Grandmaster recognized even by the Spirit Hall, with a reputation famous throughout the entire continent.
How could I possibly lose?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
“Fine, this Grandmaster agrees!
I want to see what kind of insights a brat like you can come up with.” With his arms crossed over his chest, Yu Xiaogang agreed confidently.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang had taken the bait, Chu Chengzhou nodded with secret satisfaction.
The storage spirit tool would soon be his!
“Grandmaster Yu, did you write in this book that the highest age for a Spirit Master’s first spirit ring is 423 years?” Chu Chengzhou asked Yu Xiaogang.
The “martial soul ten core competitiveness” written by Yu Xiaogang was a book, not just ten theories with little text; it also contained many of his own insights.
“That’s right!
According to my research, the age of a Spirit Master’s first spirit ring will absolutely not exceed 423 years!” Yu Xiaogang nodded confidently.
This was not him bragging blindly, but a conclusion reached after flipping through numerous materials and conducting years of research.
“Very good!
Then may I ask Grandmaster Yu, do the Spirit Masters who can attach a first spirit ring with an age of 423 years possess a powerful Beast Spirit?”
The reason Chu Chengzhou asked this was because Yu Xiaogang had marked the words ‘at most’ after this age in the book, rather than stating that the limit for every Spirit Master’s first spirit ring was 423 years.
Many Transmigration characters say all Spirit Masters are capped at 423 years, which is incorrect.
Although Yu Xiaogang’s character was not great, he did have some substance in his brain and wouldn’t make such an obvious error.
“That’s right.”
“Can Spirit Masters with powerful Beast Spirits withstand higher-age spirit rings because their physical fitness is relatively stronger?”
“That’s right.”
“Under the same conditions, is the physical fitness of an older child stronger than that of a younger child?”
“That’s also correct!”
“Then here comes the question: A Beast Spirit Master with a powerful Spirit and Innate full Soul Power attaches a 423-year first spirit ring after Awakening their Spirit at six years old.
Meanwhile, another Beast Spirit Master with the same Spirit and same physique, but slightly worse talent, waits until they are seven years old and have Cultivated to level 10 quasi-Spirit Master before attaching their first spirit ring.
Because they are one year older, the latter’s physical fitness is better than the former’s, so theoretically, couldn’t they attach a spirit ring exceeding 423 years?” Chu Chengzhou said with a smile.
At this moment, the look of confidence on Yu Xiaogang’s face had completely vanished, and he looked at Chu Chengzhou with shock.
After carefully deliberating in his heart, Yu Xiaogang discovered that it seemed this brat in front of him was right?
