Chapter 14: Beating Yu Xiaogang in Public in Class
"Boss!"
When the other students saw this, they also called out to Xiao Wu.
Ye Wen glanced at Xiao Wu on the floor. "Why are you still standing there? Make my bed!"
"You! Don't go too far!" Xiao Wu gritted her teeth.
"Go too far? Isn't that the right of the boss of Dormitory Seven?" Ye Wen questioned.
"Fine! Ye Wen! Just wait! I'll have Third Brother come to deal with you soon, and you'll no longer be the boss of Dormitory Seven!" Xiao Wu said angrily.
She then got up from the ground and reluctantly went to make the bed for Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai.
"Is that so? Let's see if your Third Brother can be my opponent." Ye Wen walked over to a bed and sat down. He then asked, "So where is the Third Brother you speak of?"
One of the male students said, "Third Brother is probably with Master Yu."
"Oh, I remember now. Master Yu has a lecture today. Third Brother must be there to support him."
"Yu Xiaogang," Ye Wen muttered the name to himself.
If Xiao Wu and Tang San only disgusted him, Yu Xiaogang could be described with words like "dislike" and "aversion."
"This Yu Xiaogang can give lectures? What time does it start?"
The student replied, "It's at 2 p.m. in an hour. Master Yu's lectures are quite popular. If you want to go, you should head over now, or you might not find a seat."
"Really popular?" Ye Wen was somewhat surprised. He stood up from the bed and said to Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai, "Let's go and check it out."
Yu Xiaogang, a Title Douluo who claimed to be invincible in theory, was called Master Yu by some.
But in reality, not many in the soul master world respected him. First, his weak 29th-level Title Douluo rank meant he couldn't even defeat most soul masters of the same rank.
Second, his theories about soul masters were laughable.
Half of the soul master families with any real foundation knew those theories as basic common knowledge, and the rest was simply nonsensical, filled with contradictions and conflicts. In the eyes of many, it was like garbage.
So he was looked down upon by many, even the labor student disciples at Notting Academy. But since Yu Xiaogang took Tang San, a talented student, as his disciple, his most valued theory—that there were no wasted soul masters, only wasted individuals—had been proven correct.
Because of Tang San's excellence, Yu Xiaogang's reputation grew. At least in Notting Academy, he was well regarded.
But in truth, no one knew that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was not a waste soul, but the Blue Silver Emperor! The emperor among Blue Silver Grass!
Even without fully awakening, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was far from ordinary.
At that moment, in a classroom at the academy, Yu Xiaogang's class was about to begin.
Students scrambled to get in, and in no time, the room was filled. Yu Xiaogang stood on the podium, looking at the students sitting before him, basking in the respectful gazes. His vanity was strongly satisfied, and he felt quite pleased.
"Master Yu! Master Yu."
"Is it true that there are no useless soul masters, only useless people?"
Before the class even started, many students began asking Yu Xiaogang questions. Most of them had poor soul rings.
These students, in their hearts, knew their soul rings were weak compared to others, and they wanted to hear comforting words from Yu Xiaogang.
As soul masters, especially young and reckless ones, who would want to admit that their soul ring was worthless?
Yu Xiaogang confidently responded, "Of course! There are no useless soul rings, only useless soul masters. My disciple Tang San is the best example!"
Tang San also deeply believed in this, as he was still in the small Notting City, where few had strong soul rings. Most were similar, so there was little difference in strength among them.
Tang San stood up from his seat and said, "Yes, students should have confidence in their soul rings."
"That's absolute nonsense!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang from outside the classroom, breaking the harmony.
Everyone fell silent and looked toward the door. Ye Wen stepped in first, with Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai flanking him. The three of them entered the classroom amidst everyone's attention.
"This student, what did you say!?" Yu Xiaogang's face darkened immediately.
"I said, you're talking nonsense!" Ye Wen reiterated, ignoring the students who had asked for comfort and Yu Xiaogang, and continued, "A useless soul ring is a useless soul ring. Can't you tell how strong your soul ring is? Which powerful soul master has an ordinary soul ring?"
"As a soul master, you first need to understand yourself, accept yourself, and then strive to improve. How can you go on deceiving yourself every day? Is that fun?"
"You should ask your Master Yu if your soul rings are as strong as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon of the continent. Are your soul rings not worthless?"
"You should also ask if, no matter how well you train, your soul rings' strength is still worthless in the eyes of top soul rings?"
"This..."
The students were at a loss for words and looked toward Yu Xiaogang.
"Preposterous!" Yu Xiaogang's anger flared. Since he had accepted Tang San as his disciple, it had been a long time since anyone dared to ignore him like this.
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Yu Xiaogang couldn't stay calm anymore. If it went on like this, the respect he had earned from Tang San would be lost!
As for Ye Wen's words, Yu Xiaogang was powerless to respond, because he knew very well that a soul ring considered useless by others couldn't compare to a top-tier soul ring!
Yu Xiaogang had been deceiving himself, but he had to stop Ye Wen from continuing. He angrily shouted, "Shut up! What do you know at your young age!"
"You have no respect for your elders! Get out! My class doesn't need students like you!"
"You're in such a rush to kick me out just because you can't answer me, huh? Heh, what will you do if I don't leave?" Ye Wen smiled faintly, ignoring Yu Xiaogang.
"How dare you, as a student, treat your teacher this way? Today, I will teach you how to respect your elders!"
Yu Xiaogang took a righteous stance and slowly walked in front of Ye Wen, showing a hint of malice on his face, and suddenly slapped Ye Wen's cheek.
But unexpectedly, Ye Wen immediately grabbed Yu Xiaogang's elbow.
"Someone like you dares to call yourself my teacher? How dare you lay a hand on me?" Ye Wen gripped Yu Xiaogang's elbow tightly, increasing the pressure with a cold expression. "Are you looking for death?"
