Chapter 373: I Say Yu Xiaogang is Useless, A Slap That Stuns Yu Tianheng!
"Shut up! What right do you have to slander my uncle!"
"Even if my uncle is not perfect, even if you slander him, he is still a renowned master in the soul master world, a theorist of martial soul, who wrote books and created his own legacy. What are you people? What right do you have to criticize my uncle!"
Hearing Zi Feng insult his uncle Yu Xiaogang, Yu Tianheng couldn't hold back anymore. He violently broke free from Osro and Yufeng's hold, clenched his fists, and glared with his bloodshot eyes, roaring at Lin Yu and Zi Feng.
Meanwhile, due to the escalating argument and the risk of a fight breaking out, many members of the soul master teams from different academies around the area had gathered.
Among them were, of course, the women from the Heavenly Water Academy, like Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
Originally, Shui Bing'er, because of her personality, wouldn't publicly express her opinions about Yu Xiaogang. However, since Lin Yu had invited her to go to the Extreme North to see if she could subdue the Snow Emperor and become the first Soul Master in the Douluo Continent, Shui Bing'er had agreed.
Regardless of whether she would become the first Soul Master in the Extreme North, Shui Bing'er had already decided to join the Immortal Palace. This meant Lin Yu was practically her lord.
Seeing Yu Tianheng disrespecting her lord, Shui Bing'er's brow furrowed. She stepped forward and coldly spoke.
"Is your uncle Yu Xiaogang really that impressive? He's just a fake master who deceives the world!"
"Even without the exposure from the livestreams, how many in the soul master world would take your uncle seriously? Probably even the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon sect has few people who do!"
"You say your uncle is a renowned figure in the soul master world, who wrote books and made contributions to the martial soul theory, and that no one has the right to comment on him. But do you know who is standing in front of you?"
Seeing Shui Bing'er step forward and speak out for Lin Yu and Zi Feng, Yu Tianheng, who was already furious, was stunned and enraged.
Upon hearing Shui Bing'er's words, many of the surrounding soul master team members immediately understood the hidden implication. It seemed the two people in front of Yu Tianheng were of significant importance.
Many of them recognized the young man, Zi Feng, because of his purple star-covered uniform, which belonged to a prestigious academy, Zixing Academy. He didn't seem to have a particularly special status.
But the other person, Lin Yu, was still unfamiliar to most.
Although Lin Yu had met several high-ranking powers in Heaven Dou City through the elixir conferences, he mostly stayed low-key and didn't show his face often.
Thus, most common soul masters didn't recognize him, with only a few notable families such as Shui Bing'er's, Shui Yue'er's, and a few others being able to recognize him.
Of course, Xue Qinghe, who stood beside them, knew Lin Yu's identity.
Upon hearing Shui Bing'er's words, Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered. He quickly realized the situation and knew he needed to step in to gain favor with Lin Yu, so he began to approach.
After Shui Bing'er coldly asked, "Do you know who is standing in front of you?" Xue Qinghe took a step forward, adjusting his posture, and with the two royal armored soldiers behind him, he quickly walked toward Lin Yu. Acting as though he had just noticed Lin Yu had not followed, he said with a relieved smile.
"Palace Master Lin Yu, why haven't you come over yet? If Father sees I haven't brought you, he'll send someone to find us!"
"Lin Yu Palace Master?!!"
Hearing Xue Qinghe's words, everyone around was stunned. The entire resting area erupted into chaos.
This young man, who looked about their age, was actually the famous Lin Yu, who had always garnered attention in the livestreams and was the one who founded the Immortal Palace!
No one doubted Xue Qinghe's words.
Because of the two royal armored soldiers behind him, clearly marked as part of the royal guard, Xue Qinghe was undoubtedly a member of the royal family.
Since he referred to the current emperor, Xue Ye, as "Father", it was obvious that Xue Qinghe was the Crown Prince, not the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng.
Xue Qinghe's demeanor clearly showed he was the handsome, intelligent, and diplomatic Crown Prince.
"Lin Yu?!"
Upon hearing Xue Qinghe call out Lin Yu's name, Yu Tianheng's anger only intensified. His teeth ground together as he clenched his fists.
On the entire Douluo Continent, the person Yu Tianheng hated the most was undoubtedly Lin Yu!
If only the livestreams had exposed Yu Xiaogang's dark history, it would not have been as bad. But Yu Tianheng knew it was Lin Yu's continuous slander of his uncle, calling him a hypocrite and a useless piece of trash, that had ruined his uncle's reputation on the Douluo Continent!
This was what enraged Yu Tianheng the most.
"You are the one who slandered my uncle?!"
In his extreme anger, Yu Tianheng clenched his fists, his eyes red with rage as he glared at Lin Yu and gasped, his words dripping with fury.
"Yes, I am Lin Yu!"
In contrast to Yu Tianheng's explosive anger, Lin Yu remained calm. With his arms crossed, he slowly said, "But let me clarify, even though I am Lin Yu, I didn't slander your uncle Yu Xiaogang. I said your uncle Yu Xiaogang is a hypocrite and a useless piece of trash, and that is a fact. Everyone knows it. Understand?"
"Fact?!"
Hearing Lin Yu insult his uncle in front of him, with such a harsh attitude, Yu Tianheng could no longer hold back. His body trembled with anger, his face and neck turning red as he roared at Lin Yu.
"You! What are you?! How dare you insult my uncle?! My uncle earned his place through his own efforts by proposing the ten core competencies of martial soul theory. You're just a lucky fool..."
"Boss!"
Seeing Yu Tianheng lose control again, and with Lin Yu being the one he was confronting, Osro and Yufeng, terrified, rushed to grab his arms, pulling him away.
"Damn! This Lin Yu is the one who got countless rewards in the livestreams!"
Rumors had it that Lin Yu once obtained the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and even rejected requests from the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall and the Spirit Douluo of the Chrysanthemum Ghost.
This kind of powerhouse, how could they afford to offend him?
As for Yu Tianheng's furious yells, defending his uncle's honor, Lin Yu couldn't help but sneer.
Haha, he owes his success to luck, huh?
After all, as a transmigrator, if he wasn't lucky, how could he even cross over?
But as for your uncle Yu Xiaogang, using "effort" to deceive a naive, innocent girl, using her position in the Martial Soul Hall to read forbidden books, plagiarizing the Martial Soul Hall's knowledge, and then manipulating her feelings, causing her to suffer a tragic fate...
Is this considered good behavior?
What a joke!!
With that, Lin Yu didn't even bother to listen to Yu Tianheng's raging speech in defense of his uncle. He stepped forward and slapped him directly.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, a bright red slap mark appeared instantly on Yu Tianheng's fair and handsome face. Half of his face swelled up rapidly, and his head rang from the blow. The anger on his face came to a sudden halt.
"Done?"
After slapping Yu Tianheng, Lin Yu casually took a handkerchief from Dugu Yan, wiping his hand as he looked down at the dazed Yu Tianheng, his voice dripping with disdain.
