Xue Tianxing's words were like a slap in Yu Xiaogang's face, and Xue Tianxing's provocative look made it clear that "if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked too."
Yu Xiaogang was so angry that he was shaking all over, his chest heaving violently. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, Xue Tianxing's voice sounded first:
"Hey, what's going on? Is the Master unhappy?"
Xue Tianxing deliberately emphasized the word "Master", the sarcasm in his tone almost overflowing, and then continued:
"That's true. After all, I hit a nerve with some people. First, he hooked up with the Spirit Hall's former Saint, now Pope Bibi Dong. Using his connections within the Spirit Hall, he collected a lot of information on spirit masters left behind by predecessors. After piecing it together, he dared to claim it as his own research results, using the title of 'Theoretical Master' to deceive people."
Xue Tianxing paused, glanced at the crowd, and suddenly raised his voice:
"What's even more ridiculous is that after the Spirit Hall incident, he was so scared that he abandoned them and ran away, only to marry his own cousin. How can such a man who wants to steal others' achievements and has no responsibility to live off them be called a master?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Yu Xiaogang couldn't hold it in any longer and roared at Xue Tianxing, his eyes bloodshot. "The theories I published are the result of years of research! I didn't steal! Absolutely not!"
But his excuse seemed pale and powerless in the face of Xue Tianxing's words.
The crowd of onlookers had already exploded, pointing at Yu Xiaogang with contempt in their eyes.
"So this is the legendary master? He became famous by stealing other people's things?"
"He can even abandon a woman and run away. How irresponsible!"
"No wonder his disciple uses sneak attacks, it turns out his master taught him well!"
The gossip pierced Yu Xiaogang's heart like needles. Looking at the distrustful eyes of the crowd, he staggered and almost fell.
Seeing this, Flanders could no longer stand by and watch. He quickly stepped forward to block Yu Xiaogang and said to Xue Tianxing in a deep voice:
"Your Highness Tianxing, Xiaogang is my good friend. What happened in the past is over. Please be kind and don't say anything more."
Xue Tianxing raised his eyebrows, looked at the pleading look in Flanders' eyes, and nodded:
"Dean Flanders, for your and Xiao Ao's sake, I won't say anything today."
Then Xue Tianxing changed the subject, his eyes turned cold again, and said to Flender:
"But the reason I exposed him was entirely his own doing. I don't know where he got the nerve to do that. He even tried to ask Rongrong for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's distraction control method.
If he really thinks he's knowledgeable and capable of doing his own research, he should be fine. Ultimately, he's just a idiot who can only steal other people's work!"
After saying that, Xue Tianxing no longer looked at the pale Yu Xiaogang and the silent Flanders. He turned around and left with Ning Rongrong, Shui Binger and others without looking back.
At the exit of the fighting arena, Flanders looked at the backs of Xue Tianxing and others, then turned to look at Yu Xiaogang, who was trembling with anger and unable to utter a word, his heart full of complicated feelings.
As Yu Xiaogang's old friend for many years, how could he not know what Xue Tianxing said?
What's even more hateful is that he originally liked Liu Erlong, and in order to help Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, he voluntarily withdrew. Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaogang ran away again at that time.
It is impossible to say that there are no complaints. Flanders just never pointed it out because of their many years of friendship.
But today, Xue Tianxing exposed Yu Xiaogang's reputation as a "master" and it was completely ruined.
Yu Xiaogang stood there, enduring the strange looks and whispers from the people around him. He felt a burning pain on his face, and a feeling of despair and humiliation surged in his heart. His eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
As soon as Xue Tianxing and his companions walked out of the fighting arena, Flanders rushed to Tang San, who was frozen into an "ice sculpture".
He frowned, and a soft light yellow soul power appeared in his palm, which he carefully placed on Tang San's shoulder - Xue Tianxing's extreme ice was bitingly cold, and if the ice was broken forcibly, it would easily damage Tang San's meridians.
"Relax your spirit power and don't resist."
Flanders said in a deep voice, his soul power slowly seeping into the ice like warm water.
With a few crisp "crackling" sounds, the ice that wrapped around Tang San gradually shattered and turned into fine water droplets that dripped down.
As soon as Tang San regained his ability to move, his fingers subconsciously touched the hidden weapon bag on his waist. His eyes were fixed on the backs of Xue Tianxing and the others, and the anger in his chest was like a volcano about to erupt.
"Let's go check on Mu Bai and Zhu Qing first!"
Flanders didn't notice Tang San's abnormality, and turned around to walk towards Dai Mubai who was collapsed on the ground.
But just as he took half a step, a sharp "whoosh" sound suddenly rang in his ears - it was the rapid sound of a hidden weapon breaking through the air!
Flanders turned his head suddenly, his pupils shrinking:
Tang San was surrounded by silver light, and dozens of dragon beard needles and bone-piercing nails poured towards Xue Tianxing's back like a rainstorm!
These hidden weapons were poisoned, and their tips emitted a strange blue light. They were obviously Tang San's trump cards.
"Tang San! You're crazy!"
Flanders was shocked and angry, and wanted to stop it but it was too late.
Xue Tianxing in front had already noticed the unusual movement behind him.
His keen intuition made him turn around instantly, and the sound of hidden weapons breaking through the air became clearer and clearer in his ears.
"Get out of the way!" he shouted sternly, and at the same time pushed Ning Rongrong beside him behind Shui Bing'er. The ice-blue soul power instantly condensed into a half-person-high ice wall in front of him. The surface of the ice wall was covered with fish-scale-like patterns, which was his specialty for defense.
"Dang, dang, dang!" Intensive collision sounds rang out one after another, and all the hidden weapons hit the ice wall - either they were bounced off by the hard ice layer, or they were deeply embedded in it, but not even a crack was left.
"Come again?"
Xue Tianxing looked at the ice wall that was covered with hidden weapons, and anger surged in his eyes.
The first sneak attack was blocked, yet he dared to come again? This despicable behavior of not changing after repeated warnings completely infuriated him.
He snorted coldly, and slammed his right hand against the ice wall, and the powerful soul power poured into the ice layer through the palm of his hand.
"Go back!" With a low shout, the ice wall suddenly shook violently, and the hidden weapon embedded in it was grabbed by an invisible hand, changed direction, and flew towards Tang San with even faster momentum!
Tang San stared closely at Xue Tianxing's movements the whole time. When he saw the hidden weapon being bounced back, he immediately tapped the ground with his toes and floated to the side like willow catkins - he used the Ghost Shadow Step to the extreme and narrowly avoided all the hidden weapons.
But he forgot that Yu Xiaogang, who was in a trance, was standing behind him.
The rebounded hidden weapons flew past Tang San's side and flew straight towards Yu Xiaogang.
At this time, Yu Xiaogang was still immersed in the humiliation of having his past exposed in public. His ears were filled with the whispers of onlookers, and he stood there in a daze.
