For the teachers at Notting Academy, local bullies like Xiao Chenyu, or the work-study students like Wang Sheng, today was absolutely a day that reshaped their worldview.
Before today, the word “Genius” was merely a vague concept in their minds.
But from now on, Lin Nuo’s terrifying figure, wielding a magic scythe and killing with a single move, became the only concrete synonym for “Genius.”
…
Turning the scene back to Grandmaster’s office.
After returning with his battered and bruised beloved disciple and the strangely behaving Xiao Wu, Grandmaster naturally had to brew a pot of thick “pep talk” to forcibly build up Tang San’s psychological defenses.
“Little San, lift your head up.”
“You must know that Lin Nuo only held a slight advantage over you today by relying on his Spirit, which is nothing to worry about in the long run.”
Grandmaster paused tactically and threw out his invincible theory, “In my view, compared to him, you possess three victories, while he has three defeats!”
As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention Tang San, even Xiao Wu, who was still disgusted by the smell on Tang San, couldn’t help but cast a curious gaze.
“Oh?
How does Teacher explain this?”
Tang San asked in a very cooperative manner.
Grandmaster habitually put his only remaining right hand behind his back, lifted his chin slightly, struck a pose of academic authority pointing out the landscape, and said sonorously,
“First, the victory of talent!”
“Little San, you should know how terrifyingly powerful that hidden talent of yours is.”
“Your Blue Silver Grass appears weak right now, but that is only temporary.”
“Once your cultivation reaches the Spirit Saint stage, the entire continent will understand what a true top-tier Genius is!”
“Conversely, look at Lin Nuo.
No matter how fierce his Spider Spirit is in the early stages, its potential is ultimately locked, and there will inevitably come a day when he lacks stamina.”
Tang San nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
He knew Teacher was referring to his second Spirit.
Yu Xiaogang had analyzed his future development for him.
As long as he reached the Spirit Saint stage and attached ten-thousand-year or higher black spirit rings to his second Spirit, that cross-tier attribute stacking would be enough to make him take off instantly.
And Lin Nuo only had one Spirit, with only so many spirit ring slots, so the gap in the Late Stage would naturally widen.
“Second, the victory of heritage.” Grandmaster continued to analyze, his tone becoming profound and mysterious,
“Regarding the true Legacy behind your Spirit, I have already found some clues.”
“When the time is right, I will tell you everything.”
“With such a behemoth backing you, Lin Nuo’s shady background is nothing special.”
Hearing this riddle-like statement, Tang San’s eyes suddenly revealed a kind of clear stupidity.
Legacy?
What kind of earth-shattering Legacy could his broken hammer Spirit possibly have?
Could it be that his drunkard father, who was rotting in Saint Spirit Village every day, was actually a hidden peerless expert?
But in the logic of Yu Xiaogang, who prided himself on “World-shocking wisdom,” it was a perfectly closed loop.
Even if Lin Nuo were really Bibi Dong’s illegitimate son, he would still be an unregistered person that couldn’t see the light of day.
The core foundation of Spirit Hall was still firmly in the hands of the Angel Clan, and the resources Bibi Dong could give this kid would be absolutely limited.
And Tang San?
He was a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect with pure roots!
As long as he acknowledged his ancestors and returned to the sect in the future, coupled with the careful guidance of a theoretical master like himself, wouldn’t succeeding as the Clear Sky Sect Sect Master be a sure thing?
This wave, the advantage is with me!
Before Tang San could digest this logic, Grandmaster impatiently straightened his back and threw out his core point.
“This third point is also the most fatal, the most important victory—”
Grandmaster pointed forcefully at his own chest with his only remaining arm, his eyes full of pride: “The victory of a famous teacher!”
“That kid Lin Nuo has brute strength but lacks a theoretical expert like me who is well-versed in the past and present to guide him.”
“Don’t look at him stealing the spotlight with unconventional methods now.
Cultivating as a Spirit Master is like walking on thin ice.
Without correct theoretical guidance, he will sooner or later train himself into a cripple and completely waste his talent!”
Gangzi snorted coldly and concluded from a high vantage point, “Today, he was blind and chose not to kneel and take this Grandmaster as his teacher.
One day, he will regret his arrogance and ignorance until his intestines turn green!”
After listening to this textbook example of spiritual victory from Grandmaster, Tang San’s originally dim eyes instantly lit up with light again.
He nodded repeatedly, as if parting the clouds to see the blue sky, and his admiration for Yu Xiaogang flowed like a continuous river.
“Teacher is truly the number one theoretical master in the Spirit Master’s world!”
“Your analysis has truly awakened the dreamer with a single word!”
According to Gangzi’s perfectly closed-loop “Winning Theory” logic, although he, Tang San, had just been disfigured downstairs and his peerless Hidden Weapons had been trampled underfoot as garbage, as long as he extended the timeline to the future, he would be crushing everyone from all angles!
So what if he lost the fight?
The potential advantage is with me!
The background advantage is with me!
The famous teacher advantage is still with me!
Watching his beloved disciple regain his invincible Dao Heart, Yu Xiaogang stroked his chin with satisfaction, then changed his style and cast his calculating gaze toward Xiao Wu on the side.
“Xiao Wu, your talent is also a rare piece of unpolished jade.”
“Why not follow me with Little San and accept my guidance in the future?”
“I guarantee I can make you two the most dazzling twin stars on the continent.”
Hearing this proposal, Xiao Wu frowned, and a trace of instinctive resistance flashed in her eyes.
After all, that foul-smelling “Tyrant Flower” had truly ruined the value of this Grandmaster in her heart.
Who knows what kind of ghost she would be led into if she followed his cultivation method?
Seeing Xiao Wu’s reluctance, Yu Xiaogang was not angry at all, and even a meaningful smile flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He had his own pride and confidence.
Back then, he, Yu Xiaogang, was just a piece of Trash whose Spirit mutation failed, yet he still managed to rely on his “shocking” wisdom and nowhere-to-put charm to make Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, two proud daughters of heaven, fall head over heels for him?
The disciple follows the master.
He believed that with his help, Tang San taking down this innocent little rabbit would be as easy as pie.
As long as Little San turned this girl into his own, and captured both her person and her heart, what difference would it make whether she took him as her teacher or not?
Anyway, the meat would eventually rot in his own pot.
Just as the office fell into a brief silence, Xiao Wu’s eyes were also flickering, and an internal struggle was taking place in her mind.
Finally, she bit her lower lip lightly and nodded in obedience,
“Then…
alright, in the future, I will listen to Grandmaster’s arrangements together with Little San.”
This farce finally subsided completely as Lin Nuo departed amidst the awe-filled gazes of the crowd.
For the teachers at Notting Academy, local bullies like Xiao Chenyu, or the work-study students like Wang Sheng, today was absolutely a day that reshaped their worldview.
Before today, the word “Genius” was merely a vague concept in their minds.
But from now on, Lin Nuo’s terrifying figure, wielding a magic scythe and killing with a single move, became the only concrete synonym for “Genius.”
