Chapter 163: To Prove Himself, He Made Tang San Fight Me?
As expected, Yu Xiaogang refused without hesitation.
Yu Tianlin had already prepared himself mentally, so he was not surprised. Instead, he asked, "Second Uncle, why won't you return to the clan?"
Yu Xiaogang stayed silent, clearly unwilling to discuss such matters with his nephew.
Yu Tianlin continued, "Second Uncle, I roughly understand your reason. You wanted to prove yourself, but you've already done it. You're respected as a master in the Spirit Master world now. Isn't that enough?"
"Return to the clan, and no one will look down on you anymore."
"Not enough, far from enough!" Hearing those words, Yu Xiaogang's emotions flared. "What's the use of strong theory? Very few people truly believe my theories. In most people's eyes, I'm still a joke."
"I want everyone to know that even if I, Yu Xiaogang, am a good for nothing, I can still cultivate an unparalleled genius!"
"So Tang San is just a tool for you to prove yourself?" Yu Tianlin shook his head. "Second Uncle, forgive me for being blunt, but with Tang San's talent as a twin Martial Soul, he would become strong even without your training. How much does it really have to do with you? You just got lucky and picked up a bargain."
Just kidding. If it were some wild twin Martial Soul, things could easily go wrong. But Tang San's father is Tang Hao. Tang Hao knows everything. With Tang Hao guiding him, Tang San was destined to become powerful. In that sense, Yu Xiaogang was completely replaceable.
"Tianlin, you…"
Yu Xiaogang was left speechless. He never expected his nephew to be this sharp.
"Enough!" Tang San's voice cut in. "Yu Tianlin, I don't know the details between you and my teacher, but I won't allow you to speak about him like that."
"A teacher for a day is a father for life. Over the years, my teacher has helped me greatly and taught me countless things. I will always be grateful to him, and I will always respect him."
Hearing Tang San speak so firmly, Yu Xiaogang's eyes immediately reddened with emotion.
Uh, what is this? The bond between master and disciple is making me look like the villain.
Yu Tianlin was momentarily speechless.
"Tianlin," Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice, "if I remember correctly, you should be 12 years old now, right? Tang San is also 12 this year, and he hasn't even started cultivating his 2nd Martial Soul yet. The advantage of twin Martial Souls hasn't even appeared."
"So right now, Tang San only has Blue Silver Grass, a standard useless Martial Soul, yet he has reached this level under my guidance. Do you dare to fight him?"
Yu Tianlin froze.
Did I hear that right? Second Uncle wants me to fight Tang San? That's a joke. It seems Flander never told Yu Xiaogang about my current Spirit Power level and Spirit Ring configuration.
Even Tang San looked stunned when he heard "fight."
"Let's forget it," Yu Tianlin refused immediately. "I don't want to fight Tang San."
The gap between him and Tang San was simply too large. Yu Tianlin had no interest at all.
However, his firm refusal made Yu Xiaogang misunderstand. Instead, Yu Xiaogang showed a hint of admiration and said, "Very good, Tianlin. I didn't expect you to be able to suppress the pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and stay calm enough to analyze the situation."
"Unless you run into a Spirit Master who directly counters you, in a 1v1 battle at the same level, control type Spirit Masters are the strongest. Tang San's Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and the biggest counter is fire. Tianlin, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is lightning attribute. It doesn't counter him, so you won't be his match. You weren't blinded by pride. You sensed this and refused my provocation. Very good, excellent."
"What?" Yu Tianlin felt both amused and exasperated. "Second Uncle, you misunderstood. I meant Tang San is definitely not my match, so I don't want to fight him. It's not what you think."
"Well…"
Yu Xiaogang went silent again. He thought Yu Tianlin was being modest, but it turned out to be the opposite. His nephew was not calm, he was simply arrogant, unbelievably arrogant.
Yu Xiaogang's expression turned ugly. "Tianlin, you actually think Tang San can't beat you? That's far too arrogant! Tang San is only 12, yet his Spirit Power has reached rank 31. That cultivation speed is the definition of top genius. You…"
"Teacher, please stop." Tang San was confident against most people, but he could not compare himself to Yu Tianlin. Seeing Yu Xiaogang start listing his Spirit Power, Tang San could only tug his sleeve and whisper, "Yu Tianlin's Spirit Power is higher than mine."
"Higher than you?" Yu Xiaogang was stunned. "How much higher could he be? Tianlin is at most rank 32 or 33. Surely he can't be above rank 35."
"Don't worry. With the toughness of your Blue Silver Grass, as long as Tianlin's Spirit Power is below rank 40, he won't be able to break free from your restraints."
What do you mean, don't worry?
Tang San looked even more helpless, not knowing what to say.
Yu Tianlin smiled. "Second Uncle, my Spirit Power is already rank 44. It's not what you think."
"Rank 44!" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed, utterly disbelieving. "Impossible, absolutely impossible! You're only 12, how could your cultivation reach that level?"
Yu Tianlin replied calmly, "Nothing is impossible. That's simply how it is."
Yu Xiaogang immediately looked to Tang San. Only after Tang San nodded did Yu Xiaogang reluctantly accept this absurd reality.
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Tianlin, I never expected you to reach this stage. You're already the greatest genius in the history of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Your elder brother raised an excellent son. But even so, Tang San can still defeat you."
Well, even if I haven't seen it myself, based on Teacher Zhao's description, those 8 spider legs behind Xiao San should be Spirit Bones. Below rank 50, a Spirit Master with Spirit Bones holds an overwhelming advantage, it is like gaining a 10 rank boost out of nowhere.
In other words, even though Xiao San is only rank 31, his combat strength is comparable to rank 41. Add in the fact that control type Spirit Masters are nearly unbeatable at the same rank, and beating Tianlin should not be difficult.
Yu Xiaogang calculated quickly in his mind.
"Fine." Yu Tianlin did not care. "Since you're that confident in Tang San, Second Uncle, then I'll agree."
Yu Tianlin already understood where Yu Xiaogang's confidence came from. It was nothing but the Eight Spider Lances, using them to fight above one's rank. That might work against ordinary Spirit Masters, but Yu Tianlin was not ordinary. His current strength was comparable to a Spirit Emperor.
Yu Xiaogang did not even know Yu Tianlin's Spirit Power level beforehand, let alone his Spirit Ring configuration. He assumed Yu Tianlin had, at most, 2 yellow and 2 purple Spirit Rings. He had no idea Yu Tianlin's Spirit Rings were all above his level, 3 purple and 1 black.
