At the same time, Yu Xiaogang was quite shocked. He couldn't figure out how Su Ming had detected him so accurately. After all, his martial spirit was the Owl Cat, which had strong concealment abilities. He had observed from a distance, but Su Ming still noticed him.
Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to tell Flender to stop trying to spy on them. He guessed that Su Ming's spiritual power was extraordinary, or perhaps he had some abilities they were unaware of.
So, on the third day of the break, they decided to "bump into" Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu. As Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang had already learned from him that after all these days, Oscar had failed to grasp even the basics of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. Naturally, Yu Xiaogang had pinned his hopes on Su Ming and Ning Rongrong.
Yu Xiaogang "blocked" their path with a smile on his face. "Rongrong, how's your training with Su Ming going? Do you need me to take a look? Maybe I can offer some guidance," he said, pretending to be helpful.
"You know, my theoretical knowledge is quite solid. Once I understand the principles, I can teach anyone well."
Ning Rongrong:
Xiao Wu:
At that moment, both Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu felt extreme disdain. If Yu Xiaogang weren't a teacher at their academy, they would have outright asked him, "Do you even qualify?"
No matter how good Yu Xiaogang's theories were, when it came to teaching Ling Bo Wei Bu, he was no match for Su Ming.
Over the past few days under Su Ming's tutelage, Ning Rongrong had realized that without his personal guidance and countless demonstrations, it would have taken her many times longer to master the technique.
Despite Yu Xiaogang's shameless question, Ning Rongrong maintained her composure and responded politely with a smile, "There's been some progress. You'll see the results when the break ends. If you're really that curious, you can always go ask Su Ming yourself!"
"As for you teaching me... Well, Grandmaster, you don't even know the technique. How could you be better than Su Ming? He's been explaining everything in detail and demonstrating countless times for me. Can you do that?"
Recalling Su Ming's reminder from the previous day, Ning Rongrong was careful not to reveal too much and only mentioned having made some progress. But Yu Xiaogang's eagerness struck her as odd. Normally, she was reserved due to her upbringing, but today, she couldn't resist taking a few jabs at him.
"Xiao Wu, let's go. Su Ming is waiting for us."
Without paying attention to Yu Xiaogang's reaction, Ning Rongrong grabbed Xiao Wu's hand and walked away.
Flender, standing nearby, sighed helplessly. "Xiaogang, I told you we should wait until the break ends to see the results. Why are you so anxious?"
"Su Ming has been quite secretive about Rongrong's training. I suspect he's instructed her not to reveal any progress, so we'll just have to wait."
Yu Xiaogang, dejected after being rejected by Ning Rongrong, sighed. "Flender, I'm just curious. Tang San mentioned that Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track requires specific conditions to learn, but Su Ming's Ling Bo Wei Bu doesn't. Su Ming seems so confident about it, so I wanted to understand it better."
"If Rongrong can really master it, I was thinking we might convince Su Ming to share the training method with the others. It would greatly enhance the team's strength."
In truth, Yu Xiaogang's reasoning was just an excuse. His real motivation was his desire to learn the technique himself and research it further.
Years ago, he had known that both Su Ming and Tang San possessed powerful evasion techniques. But there was never a good opportunity to ask Su Ming about it since, unlike Tang San, Su Ming wasn't his disciple.
Moreover, Yu Xiaogang always felt that Su Ming's Ling Bo Wei Bu seemed far more mysterious than Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, though he couldn't quite figure out why.
Su Ming: You sly old fox, I knew you've been eyeing my Ling Bo Wei Bu for a long time!
Flender's expression shifted slightly as he listened to Yu Xiaogang. Though Flender had his shortcomings, he still understood that powerful, self-created techniques were the result of a soul master's hard work and were not something to be shared lightly.
A powerful soul technique like Ling Bo Wei Bu would only be passed on if there was a close relationship, and even then, it depended on the circumstances.
Flender thought that Yu Xiaogang was being a bit too optimistic. Is he not aware of his own position? he wondered. He also worried that pushing Su Ming too hard might backfire.
In Flender's opinion, Ling Bo Wei Bu was comparable to the secret techniques of the top three sects. Based on what Su Ming had hinted, as long as a person's aptitude wasn't too poor and they practiced diligently, they could master it.
If Yu Xiaogang truly wanted Su Ming to share this technique, he might have to offer something valuable in return, like the secret Dragon Transformation Method from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.
But that seemed unlikely. Yu Xiaogang had just mentioned "sharing," and the Dragon Transformation Method was a closely guarded secret of his family, one that Su Ming couldn't use anyway since his martial spirit wasn't dragon-type.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu spotted Su Ming waiting for them at the training ground and waved at him.
"Su Ming, we're here!"
Upon arriving, Ning Rongrong recounted their encounter with Yu Xiaogang and Flender on the way.
"Su Ming, you were spot on! You just warned me yesterday, and today I bumped into them. It looks like Yu Xiaogang really has some ulterior motives regarding your Ling Bo Wei Bu."
