90: Chapter 90 Qin Feng's Ambiguous Relationship with Xiao Wu Leaves Tang San Furious!

The entire venue fell into instant silence.

Everyone thought they had misheard.

Yu Xiaogang froze for a moment, then flew into a rage.

"Arrogant!"

"How dare this brat be so insolent!" Yu Xiaogang cursed, stamping his feet.

Down on the stage, Dugu Yan and Shui Yueer's eyes lit up, and they looked at Qin Feng on the platform with faces full of adoration.

Qin Feng completely ignored Yu Xiaogang's impotent rage, his voice ringing clearly throughout the entire venue.

"Don't you all think that theory requires time to accumulate?"

"Today, I will use the most basic theory to let you know what it means to be a frog at the bottom of a well."

Qin Feng stared directly at Yu Xiaogang.

"Yu Xiaogang, the thing you are most proud of is nothing more than the claim that Plant-type Spirits can absorb Animal-type spirit rings."

"You treat it as your ten core competencies and brag about it everywhere."

"But do you know that this is not cross-boundary absorption at all, but underlying assimilation of Soul Power attributes?"

Yu Xiaogang sneered.

"Nonsense!"

"That is the effect of the Spirit mimicry law, a conclusion I reached after spending ten years compiling data on ten thousand Spirit Masters!"

Qin Feng scoffed.

"Compiling data?"

"That's just a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse."

Qin Feng held up one finger.

"First, the essence of any Spirit Beast's spirit ring is an aggregate of energy combined with a Soul mark."

"The core reason why Plant-type Spirits can absorb Animal-type spirit rings is not due to the Spirit's mimicry."

"But lies in the non-attribute particle state presented after the spirit ring energy is stripped away!"

Qin Feng's voice suddenly rose, every word piercing the heart.

"You only know that Blue Silver Grass can absorb the Datura Snake's spirit ring to gain toxicity."

"Yet you cannot explain at all why the Datura Snake's neurotoxin transforms into paralytic toxin after entering the Blue Silver Grass!"

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed abruptly.

He indeed had never understood this question.

Back when Tang San absorbed it, he had simply attributed it to a benign mutation of the Spirit.

Qin Feng did not pause, pressing step by step.

"Because the vascular bundle structure of a Plant Spirit generates rejection and filtration when it comes into contact with animal protein toxins."

"The toxin's molecular chain is forcibly broken and reorganized into low-level paralytic molecules!"

"If you had let Tang San absorb a Ghost Vine with a cultivation of over four hundred years back then, not only could it have retained its full toxicity, but it could have also increased piercing power."

"By letting him absorb the Datura Snake, you not only wasted the Blue Silver Grass's life affinity but also forcibly solidified its development path."

"This is simply a waste of a heavenly treasure!"

Qin Feng's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely into the hearts of everyone present.

Yu Xiaogang staggered back two steps, his face turning deathly pale, trembling all over.

"You're lying!"

"This has been verified by practice!" Yu Xiaogang retorted stubbornly.

Qin Feng mercilessly punctured him.

"Verified by practice?"

"Your practice is using your own disciple as a lab rat."

"Half of the theories you proposed are common knowledge already recorded in the Spirit Hall library, which you took out, repackaged, and claimed as your own achievements."

"The other half is all just waste paper based on your subjective assumptions!"

Qin Feng's gaze was like lightning, sweeping across the audience.

"True theory is a methodology capable of guiding any ordinary Spirit Master to break through their own limits."

"For example, how to use high-frequency oscillating Soul Power to widen Meridians to withstand higher-year spirit rings."

"For example, when a Tool Spirit manifests, how to increase the Spirit's physical density by changing the Mental Energy band."

Every time Qin Feng threw out a viewpoint, the Sect Masters, Spirit Douluos, and academy teachers below collectively gasped.

This knowledge was something they had never heard of!

If it were true, it would completely overturn the existing Spirit Master Cultivation system!

Listening to these theories that sounded like heavenly books, Yu Xiaogang's mind went blank.

The ten core competencies he had been proud of for half his life were like crude, poorly made toys in the face of Qin Feng's hardcore theories that pointed directly to the essence of Cultivation.

They were fragile and vulnerable.

"Impossible."

"This is absolutely impossible."

Yu Xiaogang's legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the ground.

His eyes were unfocused, and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

The Shrek group below looked at each other in dismay.

Even Tang San's expression became extremely ugly; a sudden panic arose in his heart, and he began to wonder if he had been practicing in the wrong direction all these years.

Qin Feng stood on the high platform, his robes fluttering.

Yu Xiaogang sat slumped on the ground, his eyes red, like a beast driven to a dead end.

He suddenly scrambled up from the ground, pointing at Qin Feng and roaring loudly.

"This is sophistry!"

"My ten core competencies are the recognized truth of the Spirit Master's world!"

"Plant-type absorbing Animal spirit rings, useless Spirits also having a spring—these are all the fruits of half a lifetime of effort I summarized; don't think you can deny everything with a few nonsensical words!"

Qin Feng looked at the nearly manic Yu Xiaogang and shook his head.

He reached into his robe and pulled out a thick, gold-covered notebook.

"Half a lifetime of effort?"

"Yu Xiaogang, do you really think no one knows about the shady, underhanded things you did when you were a librarian at the Spirit Hall library?"

Qin Feng opened the notebook and displayed one of the pages to everyone.

This notebook was stamped with the highest-level top-secret seal of the Spirit Hall.

"Spirit Calendar Year 214, Spirit Hall Honorary Elder Feng Xingtian proposed that low-level Spirit Masters can break through Innate Soul Power limits through high-pressure meditation in specific environments."

"Spirit Calendar Year 220, the seventh Consecrator of the Spirit Hall recorded six successful cases of Plant Spirits absorbing Animal spirit rings and annotated the Soul Power assimilation phenomenon."

Every time Qin Feng read out a point, he looked up at Yu Xiaogang.

"More than half of your so-called ten core competencies are directly copied from the top-secret manuscripts of Spirit Hall's Senior Elders."

"You took the special cases and conjectures recorded by others, pieced them together, stitched them up, and even copied the typos and incorrect data inside without any modification."

"Then you slapped your name, Yu Xiaogang, on them and declared to the outside world that this was your original, invincible theory."

Qin Feng's voice was resonant, spreading throughout the venue.

"Plagiarizing the wisdom of predecessors, stitching together waste paper full of errors—does this deserve to be called Great Master?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar.

The tens of thousands of spectators in the stands completely exploded.

The deans and team leaders of the major high-level Spirit Master academies looked at each other, pointing fingers at Yu Xiaogang one after another.

"So he's a plagiarizing fraud!"

"I actually thought he had some real skills; it turns out it was all stitched together from peeking at Spirit Hall's top-secret documents!"

"Shameless, he's simply the scum of the Spirit Master's world!"

On the high platform, Emperor Xue Ye's face turned livid, and he slammed his hand on the armrest of his seat.

"Absurd!"

Emperor Xue Ye roared in anger: "The dignified Heaven Dou Royal Academy was almost infiltrated by such a shameless swindler!"

"It is simply contempt for the imperial grace!"

The surrounding jeers, accusations, and mockery drowned Yu Xiaogang like a tsunami.

Yu Xiaogang stood on the spot, trembling violently.

Looking at the disdainful gazes around him, he felt his blood surge, and his throat tasted sweet.

"Pfft—"

Yu Xiaogang tilted his head back and spewed a large mouthful of blood in public.

His eyes rolled back, and he fell straight backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Teacher!"

A cry of alarm came from the Shrek Academy team.

Tang San's eyes instantly turned red, his eyes nearly splitting from anger.

He suddenly activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, rushed straight out from the crowd, and pounced toward Qin Feng on the high platform.

"You dare to insult my teacher, I'll kill you!" Tang San roared.

Qin Feng stood on the high platform, not even giving Tang San a glance, only letting out a disdainful sneer.

"Standing up for him? What do you have to stand up for him with?"

Qin Feng looked down at Tang San, who had rushed to the bottom of the steps.

"Just because you are the good disciple who was used as a lab rat by him and almost lost your life?"

Tang San's steps faltered, and he glared at Qin Feng: "Shut up! Teacher's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain!"

Qin Feng laughed out loud.

"As heavy as a mountain?"

"Tang San, think back carefully. When Yu Xiaogang took you to hunt for your first spirit ring, what was the first thing he found for you?"

"A ten-year Isolated Bamboo."

Qin Feng spat out these four words, one by one.

"He, a dignified Great Master of theory, actually wanted you, a Genius with Innate full spirit power, to absorb a ten-year Isolated Bamboo spirit ring!"

"If it weren't for the luck of running into a Datura Snake later, you would be a loser carrying a bamboo pole and poking around everywhere right now!"

"Such an idiot who can't even figure out spirit ring years and Spirit compatibility, he doesn't deserve to be a teacher at all!"

Tang San froze in place.

A scene from the Hunting Forest back then suddenly flashed in his mind.

At that time, Yu Xiaogang had indeed pointed at a ten-year Isolated Bamboo and told him with absolute certainty that this thing was very suitable for Blue Silver Grass.

If he hadn't hesitated for a moment, he might have really absorbed that ten-year white ring.

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Tang San's back.

The entire audience, hearing this, erupted into earth-shattering discussion again.

"What? Letting Innate full spirit power absorb a ten-year spirit ring?"

"Is this Yu Xiaogang crazy!"

"That was deliberately trying to ruin this child; what development can a ten-year spirit ring have?"

"Too vicious, this isn't teaching a disciple, this is raising a cripple!"

Yu Xiaogang, who had fallen to the ground, was stimulated by the surrounding discussion and slowly regained consciousness.

As soon as he heard everyone talking about the ten-year Isolated Bamboo, he struggled to crawl up, his face flushed red.

"What do you know!"

Yu Xiaogang shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to salvage his last shred of dignity.

"A ten-year Isolated Bamboo is a very good spirit ring!"

"According to my Spirit mimicry theory, the toughness of Isolated Bamboo is very suitable for the Blue Silver Grass Spirit, and its plasticity is extremely strong!"

The more Yu Xiaogang spoke, the more excited he became, even gesturing wildly.

"After absorbing the Isolated Bamboo, the Blue Silver Grass can possess extremely strong elasticity!"

"When encountering danger, one can fully utilize the Blue Silver Grass to pole vault, and the speed of escaping is absolutely top-notch!"

"As long as one survives, there are infinite possibilities; who knows, this mutation direction might even have the potential to become a god!"

The entire venue was silent for a second.

Then.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Deafening laughter erupted throughout the entire Spirit Fighting Arena.

"Pole vaulting? Top-notch for escaping?"

"This is the Great Master's theory? Teaching a disciple how to run away?"

"And potential to become a god? You're killing me, are you going to pole vault to the Divine Realm!"

The experts from the major Sects and academy teachers laughed until tears came out, leaning back and forth.

Yu Xiaogang stood in the ocean of laughter, his face blank.

He felt his dignity was being thoroughly rubbed into the ground, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

At this moment, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who was sitting in the VIP seats, stood up.

He walked to the edge of the high platform, facing the entire audience, his voice clear.

"Everyone!"

"The facts are already before us; true theory should be the truth that can guide Spirit Masters to break through their limits!"

Xue Qinghe announced loudly: "The Spirit Origin theory led by Qin Feng is the true future of the Spirit Master's world!"

Zhu Zhuqing, hearing this, immediately raised her right hand high.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is right, we only recognize Young Master Qin Feng's theory!"

Xiao Wu was not to be outdone, shouting along: "Yu Xiaogang is just a fraud, Qin Feng is the true Great Master!"

Shui Binger, leading the girls of Tianshui Academy, spoke in unison: "Tianshui Academy fully supports Young Master Qin Feng, honoring Young Master Qin as the new generation's Divine-Grade theory Great Master!"

For a time, the cheers of the entire venue rose wave after wave.

Everyone's gaze was focused on Qin Feng, filled with fanaticism and adoration.

Qin Feng stood on the high platform, the center of attention, calmly accepting everyone's adoration.

The opening ceremony came to an end amidst a boiling atmosphere.

The crowd began to disperse.

The teams from the major academies left the venue one after another.

Just as Qin Feng walked down from the high platform, Xiao Wu snuck over from the side.

She was wearing a pink short skirt today, her two long, slender white legs dazzling to the eyes.

Xiao Wu leaned close to Qin Feng and gently tugged on his sleeve.

"Qin Feng."

Xiao Wu looked up and blinked at Qin Feng, her eyes shimmering.

"Are you free tonight?"

"I booked a room at the Rose Hotel in the west of the city."

Xiao Wu lowered her voice, her tone carrying a hint of Charm: "The theories you talked about on stage today were too profound; there are so many parts I didn't understand."

"Tonight... can you come and tutor me alone?"

Before leaving, Xiao Wu deliberately puffed out her chest, shot Qin Feng an extremely alluring wink, and then turned and ran away with light steps.

Qin Feng watched Xiao Wu's youthful and energetic back, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Night fell.

Inside a high-end hotel in Heaven Dou City.

Qin Feng sat at the desk, opened the black diary, picked up a pen, and began to write.

【The opening ceremony today was truly lively.】

【That trash Yu Xiaogang had his bottom line exposed by a few of my words and vomited blood on the spot. That pathetic look, I really should have used a recording stone to film it for the whole continent to see.】

【The most ridiculous one is Tang San.】

【Seeing Yu Xiaogang vomit blood, he rushed up with red eyes; he's simply a brainless giant baby who only knows how to protect his own.】

【He can even forget that Yu Xiaogang wanted him to absorb a ten-year Isolated Bamboo back then. He's being sold and is still helping count the money; he's truly stupid to the core.】

【However, it wasn't without gains today.】

【Just when the crowd was dispersing, Xiao Wu actually took the initiative to run over and invite me to the hotel.】

【Looking at that little look she gave me with her wink, tsk tsk.】

【I'm really looking forward to this hotel trip tonight.】

【I wonder if Tang San would directly suffer Qi Deviation from anger if he knew his beloved sister invited me to the hotel in the middle of the night to discuss theory?】
