After speaking, Yu Xiaogang proudly raised his head slightly, waiting for Meng Chen to kneel and kowtow, taking him as a master just like Tang San.
Having heard his own invincible theory, Yu Xiaogang did not believe that Meng Chen would not be thoroughly convinced.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang’s confident expression, thinking he had him completely under control, Meng Chen’s mouth twitched slightly.
“Hehe…
What a fine ‘There are no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters’.
I wonder what level your Soul Power is, Grandmaster?”
Meng Chen asked Yu Xiaogang in return, deliberately pausing heavily on the word “Grandmaster”.
Seeing that Meng Chen did not kowtow to become his Disciple, Yu Xiaogang frowned.
He was inherently a person lacking patience, and in his view, being able to personally come and take Meng Chen as a Disciple was already Meng Chen’s honor.
Meng Chen actually dared to ask about his cultivation in return; this was truly turning the heavens upside down!
Hmph!
His Aptitude was inferior to Tang San’s, and his character was equally unbearable.
Even if he took him as a master, he was not worthy of receiving his full cultivation.
“I won’t hide it from you either.
My Soul Power is at rank 29.
Although my Soul Power is a bit weak, my theory is publicly recognized in the Soul Master World as invincible, and no one refutes it.”
When mentioning his theory, Yu Xiaogang revealed an arrogant expression, as if he were not a rank 29 Great Soul Master, but rather a super Douluo traversing the continent.
However, Meng Chen’s expression turned bizarre, as if he were enduring something, yet could no longer hold it in.
“Pfft, haha…
No, I can’t hold it in anymore, I really can’t hold it in, hahaha…”
The next second, Meng Chen could no longer persist and burst out laughing, laughing so hard that tears were almost coming out.
“Wait, Grandmaster, you’re only rank 29?
I thought you were rank 99!
How is this being a bit weak?
This is clearly being a hundred million times weak.”
“And you say your theory is invincible—it truly is invincible!
You scolded yourself twice in a single sentence.
If you aren’t invincible, then who is?
Hahahahaha…”
“Since your theory is invincible, why are you still rank 29?
Why haven’t you made a Breakthrough to level thirty yet?
Do you not like it?”
Yu Xiaogang did not expect Meng Chen to actually dare mock him.
His already stiff face suddenly turned alternating shades of green and purple, anger welling up in his eyes as he broke down on the spot.
“Meng Chen, you have such immense nerve!
How dare you question my invincible theory?
Do you know that even the Spirit Hall Pope is full of praise for my theory!”
Yu Xiaogang shouted angrily, even pulling out the Spirit Hall Pope to endorse his theory.
Hearing this, Meng Chen gradually reined in his laughter and stopped playing with the fool.
“Grandmaster, you keep saying your theory is invincible.
Let me ask you, have you ever published any textbooks?”
Yu Xiaogang gave a cold hmph: “Textbooks?
Hmph, my theory can only be used on my Disciple; other Soul Masters aren’t worthy of learning it at all.”
Yu Xiaogang’s shamelessness once again refreshed Meng Chen’s understanding, and Meng Chen sneered:
“Not worthy?
I think it’s more like you wouldn’t dare!
Holding a set of theories copied from goodness knows where, bragging everywhere that they’re your own, and talking about an invincible theory—if you were truly invincible, would you still just be a Great Soul Master?”
“Meng Chen, shut your mouth for me!”
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang completely panicked and grew desperate.
What copying or not copying?
I am the Grandmaster!
What I did is called borrowing!
It’s called reviewing!
Seeing Yu Xiaogang get anxious just like that, Meng Chen instantly felt that the other’s mental endurance was simply too poor.
How many words had they even spoken?
He was still only warming up.
Meng Chen: “What, breaking down and getting flustered already?
Where is this even going?
I’ve only just begun.”
Yu Xiaogang forcefully suppressed the raging fire in his chest, his stiff face becoming even stiffer as he coldly looked at Meng Chen.
“Good, good, good!
Meng Chen, I kindly wanted to take you as a Disciple, but you don’t appreciate it, and you even dare to slander me again.
Do you believe I’ll have the Principal expel you?!”
“Expel me?
I’m so, so scared~”
Meng Chen feigned fear, his body even trembling slightly.
Seeing him look like this, Yu Xiaogang was just about to feel smug when he saw Meng Chen raise his hand, curl his five fingers into a fist, and then fiercely thrust out his middle finger.
“Come on!
If you have the ability, expel me.
Whoever doesn’t expel me is a grandson!”
Meng Chen stopped pretending as well, wearing a rebellious and untamed expression.
“As someone who isn’t even a teacher and relies on connections with the Principal to freeload in the academy, if you can expel me, I wouldn’t care about attending this academy anyway!”
Seeing Meng Chen be so unyielding, Yu Xiaogang was so angry he nearly bit through his back molars.
He swept his sleeve fiercely and turned to leave.
He was afraid that if he spoke a few more words with Meng Chen, he would be angered to death by this fellow.
Yet just after taking two steps, Yu Xiaogang stopped again, turning his head to say: “Meng Chen, don’t think that just because you have Innate full Soul Power with a mutated Martial Soul, you can think you’re amazing.”
“There isn’t only you with Innate full Soul Power in this academy; my Disciple Tang San is too, and his Aptitude is even above yours.
I will use my invincible theory to cultivate him, and by then, he will help me prove the invincibility of my theory!”
Dropping this harsh threat, Yu Xiaogang strode away proudly.
Facing this, Meng Chen simply rolled his eyes.
Throughout the heavens and myriad Worlds, it was always the master avenging the Disciple.
For someone like Yu Xiaogang to make the Disciple avenge the master, it was truly a rare sight.
“Yu Xiaogang, and Tang San…
these two names really sound familiar.”
Suddenly, Ye Xishui’s charming voice rang in Meng Chen’s ear.
Although she knew she had come to the Douluo Continent of ten thousand years ago, seeing Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang—the founding principal highly revered by Shrek Academy and the ancestor of Mu En—with her own eyes, she couldn’t help but feel some emotion.
At the same time, another thought popped up in Ye Xishui’s mind.
If she killed this Yu Xiaogang right now, along with that future Sea God Tang San, would it affect the era ten thousand years later?
“Little fellow, do you need me to make a move and kill this Yu Xiaogang?”
Ye Xishui asked Meng Chen softly.
After being stunned for a moment, Meng Chen shook his head.
“No need.
As long as my life isn’t facing a fatal threat, try not to make a move if you can avoid it, so as not to draw unnecessary attention.”
Yu Xiaogang was merely a nobody; it wasn’t worth having Ye Xishui make a move.
He could handle it himself.
Meng Chen didn’t want to rely too heavily on Ye Xishui either; without a sense of crisis, there would be no motivation for progress.
“Very well then.
I actually wanted to try whether killing this Yu Xiaogang would affect my own era.”
Ye Xishui sounded somewhat regretful, leaving Meng Chen dumbfounded.
No wait, so that was what you were plotting!
Meng Chen shook his head: “It won’t.
Since you were able to come to my World, it proves that my World and the World you reside in are parallel Worlds.
Even if Yu Xiaogang is killed, it won’t affect your World.”
“Parallel Worlds?” Ye Xishui asked in confusion, what was a parallel World?
“The so-called parallel World is when a World diverges at a certain temporal node, thus splitting into yet another World.
Although the two Worlds are completely identical, everything that happens after that temporal node becomes different.”
“Just like the Douluo World you reside in; ten thousand years ago, I didn’t exist, but this World has me.
Thus, at this temporal node, another World with me was split off.”
“In this way, it both preserves the future with you and preserves the present with me.
This is a parallel World.”
After returning to the dormitory, Meng Chen explained in detail to Ye Xishui what a parallel World was.
After understanding, Ye Xishui grew increasingly in awe of the grand power that had sent her to this World to act as Meng Chen’s guardian.
Even a God King probably didn’t possess such mighty power.
Immediately following that, Meng Chen thought of how he was already at level ten.
As long as he acquired his first Soul Ring, he would be able to make a Breakthrough and become a Soul Master.
“Aunt Ye, do me a favor…”
Meng Chen instructed Ye Xishui: “In the waterfall at the back mountain of Holy Soul Village, there is a water curtain cave, inside of which is hidden a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone.
Please help me retrieve that Soul Bone.”
“Also, if possible, help me collect some thousand-year or ten-thousand-year Whale Glue.
I need them to enhance the strength of my Physical Body so that I can better absorb a Soul Ring of a higher age.”
The absorption of a Soul Ring’s age did not have a fixed limit; this depended on the Soul Master’s Spiritual Power and physique.
A hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone and Whale Glue could strengthen the Physical Body, allowing Meng Chen to endure a Soul Ring of a higher age.
“Mhm.” Ye Xishui acknowledged.
In fact, she also had methods to elevate a Soul Ring’s age.
However, those were methods of evil Soul Masters.
In this era where the belief in the Angel God flourished, if Meng Chen used them and later fought against people with Angel Martial Souls, he would suffer losses…
