Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night

"Blue Silver Hammer?"

"Level 2 Innate Soul Power?"

"Kid, this is fake, isn't it?"

"What a piece of trash Martial Soul."

The gatekeeper looked at Tang San's rather uneven face and curled his lip.

Why did everyone call him trash?

Now even a gatekeeper looked down on him.

At the thought, a surge of hostility rose in Tang San's heart.

The tenth rule of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record's general principles stated: A Tang Sect disciple must not lightly stir up trouble, but if someone takes the initiative to offend them, they are permitted to strike back with the force of thunder.

With the theoretical support of the general principles he had accumulated from this book,

Tang San slowly raised his arm and aimed it at the gatekeeper.

"What's going on?"

Just as Tang San was about to strike,

A man in a long robe, with stubble on his face and a short crew cut, walked out and interrupted Tang San's movement.

A flash of wariness crossed Tang San's eyes.

Has help arrived?

He considered how to strike and instantly finish both men off.

"Grandmaster."

Seeing who had arrived, the gatekeeper bowed respectfully.

"Mm, what's going on here?"

Yu Xiaogang held his head high and his chest out, his manner utterly arrogant.

"Grandmaster, this child says his Martial Soul is something called a Blue Silver Hammer."

"I was thinking, what good could anything to do with Blue Silver be?"

The gatekeeper explained.

Hearing the gatekeeper's words, Yu Xiaogang took the Soul Master certificate the gatekeeper handed him and fell into thought.

" You're Tang San, right? Come with me!"

Yu Xiaogang called out and led Tang San into the school.

The Spirit Hall in Nuoding City.

[New interception target detected: 'Yu Xiaogang.' Bind?]

Su Mu was a little surprised to hear the system notification.

Why bind this thing?

What is there worth intercepting from this thing??

Could it mean intercepting Tang San??

If I taught a dog, at least it could wag its tail at me. What could he give me if I taught him?

[Yu Xiaogang detected showing off the 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.' Interception?]

"Interception."

With the attitude that even a mosquito's leg was meat,

He might as well take what was free.

[Successfully intercepted Yu Xiaogang's 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.']

[Host, please choose: 'exchange for interception points' / 'Make It My Own.']

"Exchange for interception points."

Su Mu didn't hesitate. That competency thing was completely useless to him.

[Exchange successful. Interception points +100.]

[Discounted Refund options]

[Option one: return 'Five Core Competencies of Martial Soul.']

[Option two: return 'One Core Competency of Martial Soul.']

[Option three: return 'Trash Martial Sou, Soul Master Self-Strengthening Theory.']

[Host, please choose.]

Seeing the third option, Su Mu fell into deep thought.

Was this the fate that bound Yu Xiaogang and Tang San together?

Wasn't this theory tailor-made for those two?

"Option three."

After making his choice, Su Mu broke into a fond auntie smile.

"What are you grinning at, kid?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was beside him, couldn't help feeling the hairs rise on his back when he saw Su Mu's smile.

A person like this kid, wearing a smile like that.

It definitely wasn't a good fart.

"Nothing, Master. I just thought of an old acquaintance."

Su Mu's expression returned to normal, and he replied with a grin.

Nuoding Academy office.

"Little San, do you know why I brought you here?"

Yu Xiaogang asked Tang San seriously.

"No."

Tang San was very puzzled. What exactly did this crew-cut uncle want?

"We are both lost souls at the ends of the earth."

"You and I are both trash."

Yu Xiaogang heaved a long sigh.

Hearing this, Tang San was somewhat slow to react.

"However, after many years of research,

"I found that if a piece of trash wants to succeed, two conditions must be met."

Hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up.

That's more like it. One look at this crew-cut man in front of me, and I can tell he's no ordinary person.

"Grandmaster, what are the conditions?"

Tang San asked somewhat eagerly.

"I gave this theory a name: 'Trash Martial Soul, Soul Master Self-Strengthening Theory.'"

Rather than answer Tang San's question, Yu Xiaogang spoke at length.

"First, you must understand one thing: with a trash Martial Soul, you must understand your own position."

"Trash is trash. Hard work is useless!"

Watching Yu Xiaogang hold his head high and his chest out as he said this, Tang San felt something strange in his heart.

What a towering figure.

"Now I'll explain the two guiding principles of my theory."

"First, if a Soul Master with a trash Martial Soul wants to grow stronger, he must rely on brothers!"

"Second, if a Soul Master with a trash Martial Soul wants to grow stronger, he must rely on women!"

After saying this, Yu Xiaogang looked at the utterly bewildered Tang San and felt deeply satisfied.

This kid must have been overawed by my theory.

"Do you know why the dean here respects me so much, even though I'm only level 29?"

"Because I have a Soul Saint brother!"

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang pulled a Spirit Hall "Honorary Elder" token from his robes.

"Do you know why I possess this token even though I can only reach level 29?"

"Because the current Pope is my ex-girlfriend."

"This is the secret behind how I, Yu Xiaogang, have roamed the continent unhindered."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang paused and glanced at Tang San, who was still in shock.

Raising his voice, he shouted, "Tang San, are you willing to take me as your master?"

"And become a respected Soul Master with a Trash Martial Soul!!"

"T-teacher."

"I-I'm willing."

Tang San's mind was in turmoil at that moment, and he found himself agreeing to Yu Xiaogang's proposal.

As he spoke, he slowly knelt.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang's face filled with satisfaction.

My little disciple, there's actually a third principle.

The third is to find a disciple with a powerful background.

But I can't teach you that one just yet.

Surname Tang, six years old, Blue Silver and a hammer.

I, Yu Xiaogang, am so clever. How could I not know who your father is?

"Little San, get up."

"Since you've taken me as your master, I won't treat you poorly."

"I have something here for you."

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly helped Tang San up, then walked over to the desk and began rummaging through it.

[Tang San detected about to receive the Soul Tool 'Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night.' Interception?]

"Interception."

Su Mu said inwardly, unable to resist taking a jab at Golden Crocodile while he was at it.

Gangzi took on that trash Tang San and could still give him a Soul Tool, yet you, the Second Worship, haven't given me anything.

[Successfully intercepted 'Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night.']

[Host, please choose: 'exchange for interception points' / 'Make It My Own.']

"Make It My Own."

Su Mu thought it over. Having this thing would be convenient.

['Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night' has been placed in system storage.]

[Spend 100 interception points to enhance it?]

"No."

Looking at the mere 115 interception points he had left, Su Mu chose not to enhance it.

This thing was just a worldly possession.

Good steel had to be used on the cutting edge.

[Discounted Refund options]

[Option one: return twenty-four cubic decimeters of storage space.]

[Option two: return twenty-four cubic centimeters of storage space.]

[Option three: return one White Jade Xiao, with no storage space.]

[Host, please choose.]

Please keep reading! You can also point out any problems. The author likes to take things slowly and write a long story, which might not be as satisfying for you, but it makes up for that in volume. As long as it can go premium without trouble, I promise it won't get a botched ending.
