Yu Xiaogang had barely finished speaking
when some hot-tempered man yelled at him, "Hey you, didn't you hear His Majesty the Martial God say 'normal situation'?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly; they had all heard clearly that Zhong Li had indeed said: "normal situation. "
Such clear and easy-to-understand words, and he couldn't even understand them? Wasn't this a waste of everyone's time, and His Majesty the Martial God's time?
If His Majesty the Martial God got angry and killed this offending guy, that would be one thing.
But what if he stopped explaining altogether? Wouldn't that be a loss for all the Soul Masters in the world?
The hot-tempered man pointed at Yu Xiaogang's nose and said, "His Majesty the Martial God made it very clear. Fei Lian's situation is obviously not normal!"
Hearing this, Chi Yu's eyes twitched, and the chicken leg she was holding trembled, almost falling to the ground.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted and caught the falling chicken leg. After thinking for a moment, she didn't care about her image anymore and started eating.
As for this hot-tempered man, it was unclear whether he was cursing her or praising her.
She genuinely didn't understand these things.
None of these matters were as practical as a chicken leg from Little Paimon.
Since officially starting her cultivation, she discovered she got hungry incredibly fast!
She could eat a tremendous amount!
The equivalent of seven or eight normal Soul Kings' meals.
Fortunately, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was a large and powerful institution. The three faculty members simply smiled and didn't seem to care about Chi Yu's appetite.
Being able to eat was a blessing!
After all, Chi Yu was the academy's treasure; her appetite didn't matter.
Some academies couldn't afford to feed her, but the Heaven Dou Royal Academy could!
Furthermore, every meal was prepared to the highest standards!
This was the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's confidence!
They weren't afraid of how many resources she consumed; they were only afraid that she wouldn't amount to anything. And if she didn't amount to anything, that was one thing, but if she became an ingrate…
Yu Xiaogang was a little angry after being rebuked. He had only asked a question out of humility; what was wrong with that?
To become a master of martial soul theory, to prove himself, Yu Xiaogang was willing to abandon many things, including his pride.
Although he had been rebuked, he could pretend not to hear it.
Yu Xiaogang bowed to Zhong Li to show his sincerity, then continued, "Your Majesty, Martial God, may I ask what kind of abnormal situation this is?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded; this short-haired man had hit the nail on the head.
Wasn't the previous question just nonsense?
This one was somewhat reasonable.
They also wanted to know what an abnormal situation was.
After all, normal situations were just common sense; who among them didn't understand this common sense?
Chi Yu: "..."
Paimon: "..."
Okay, let's exclude Paimon; she's not human.
"I've studied martial soul theory for decades. Even the number one beast martial soul in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, couldn't possibly have a first soul ring with a lifespan exceeding four hundred and fifty years, let alone a thousand years,"
Yu Xiaogang said, hands behind his back, head held high, as if these things were truly his own research.
Yu Xiaogang was quite confident in his theories; after all, many of these theories had been proven.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Spirit Hall: "..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand, looked in Yu Xiaogang's direction, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Was this the theory that Yu Xiaogang had researched?
This was something that their ancestors had paid for with their lives!
His own uncle actually said such things in public in this kind of setting.
If their ancestors knew, would they...?
Yu Tianheng's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
He quickly sat down, saying nothing more.
Yu Xiaogang was his uncle, his own uncle, someone he had once greatly admired.
Especially because Yu Xiaogang had taught a genius like Tang San, a prodigy, Yu Tianheng's admiration for Yu Xiaogang only grew stronger.
What Yu Tianheng couldn't understand was that Yu Xiaogang claimed the experimental results of their predecessors as his own.
Whenever Yu Xiaogang used an example other than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit, Yu Tianheng would look at him with newfound respect; he truly trusted this uncle too much.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Yu Xiaogang with some surprise.
This short-haired guy had actually researched the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit?
Was he just bragging?
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was the third largest clan in the world.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's direct lineage spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, was also the number one beast spirit in the world.
Could Yu Xiaogang really research such a behemoth as he pleased?
Zhong Li's eye twitched; Yu Xiaogang's character was truly hard to describe.
After a moment's thought, Zhongli said, "There are countless martial souls in the world, with a wide variety of types. They can be roughly divided into weapon martial souls and beast martial souls."
"At the same time, there is a very special kind."
He paused, extended his right hand, and continued, "It can be the right hand, or both hands, both legs, skin, eyes, brain, heart!"
"It can be any part of the body, or even the whole body!"
"I call these martial souls the Body Martial Soul!"
At this time, the Body Martial Soul was considered a mutated martial soul and didn't have a unified name.
It was only after the first generation of the Body Sect Master accidentally discovered the secret of the Body Martial Soul that it "awakened" in the Douluo Continent!
Before that, the Body Martial Soul was not valued.
It was truly mediocre, only slightly stronger than those with very ordinary martial souls.
Only after the Body Martial Soul received systematic enhancement did it begin to truly unleash its power!
Even the lowest bronze-level martial soul, after its second awakening, could rival the top-tier beast martial souls.
"If it's silver, gold..."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, somewhat bewildered.
The younger ones were easier to understand, but the older ones were seasoned veterans.
While the "original spirit" Zhongli spoke of was rare, it wasn't nonexistent; many of them had seen it.
However, those who possessed such spirits weren't powerful!
Their combat strength was far inferior to that of beast spirit masters of the same level.
So why did Zhongli mention the original spirit?
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Zhongli smiled, beckoned, and a teacup on the table landed smoothly in his hands.
After elegantly taking a sip of tea, before Zhongli could make any move, Chi Yu quickly took the teacup from his hand.
Everyone fell silent. They had clearly witnessed how "arrogant" this "Martial Fairy" had been before, but in front of Zhongli, she was like a little maid.
Thinking about it carefully, this seemed quite normal.
If it weren't for Zhongli, would she be where she is today?
Zhongli didn't refuse Chiyu's kindness. After she accepted the teacup, he continued, "I know a little about the essence of a Body Spirit."
Paimon turned his head, his eye twitching.
Here it comes, here it comes, the Know-a-Little True Monarch!
He claims to know a little about everything, but he knows more than anyone else!
"Actually, I also have a Body Spirit."
