Yu Xiaogang Broke Down

Yu Xiaogang suddenly stopped, waiting for Tang San to ask on his own. From the corner of his eye, he looked at Gula. An unknown new Martial Soul needed guidance too.

"Heh, hehe."

Tang San did not speak, but Gula could not help laughing first.

Yu Xiaogang frowned. He keenly heard a familiar mockery in Gula's laughter. "What are you laughing at?"

"Can't you tell? I'm laughing at you."

Gula was unusually blunt. Ignoring Yu Xiaogang's expression, which had abruptly darkened, he asked:

"You made the Poison Attribute sound so powerful, as if Tang San would miss out on a great opportunity if he didn't attach a Poison Attribute Soul Ring. Then can you tell us whether your Martial Soul has a Poison Attribute Soul Ring attached?"

Yu Xiaogang fell silent. Although his Martial Soul was poor, as the direct son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's sect master, even if he had awakened the Trash Martial Soul Pig, he had still been qualified to receive top-tier resources for cultivation. Both of his Soul Rings came from Lightning Attribute sub-dragon Martial Souls. How could he possibly have attached a Poison Attribute Soul Ring?

"Looks like you don't."

Gula clapped his hands, applauding loudly, and said with a mocking expression, "Wonderful. You've never tried it yourself, yet with just your mouth you described it like heavenly flowers were falling from the sky. Don't tell me you're trying to fool Little San into becoming your test subject?"

"Tsk, tsk. Using someone else's future to verify your own theory, and doing it by tricking them at that. You really are shameless."

Gula gave him no face at all and directly tore away the hypocritical mask beneath Yu Xiaogang's mask.

In the original work, if Tang San had not been a transmigrator, he absolutely would have been ruined by Yu Xiaogang's method of cultivation.

It was obvious with a little thought. Without the Tang Sect Secret Techniques, the faint poison of Blue Silver Grass could not even break through Soul Power defenses. It was not like a Poison Snake Martial Soul that could spray Poisonous Liquid and poison someone through the air.

In that case, Tang San could only have fallen into being a pure Control Type Soul Master, with all his damage depending on teammates. His Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul would basically have been wasted.

Not to mention the hidden danger of poison entering the body, which could even be life-threatening.

Tang San felt a lingering fear as he listened. The way he looked at Yu Xiaogang was full of resentment; only now did he see Yu Xiaogang's sinister intentions.

He had only wanted to find someone to show him the way, yet the other party had actually planned to use him as a test subject. Was the Soul Master World really this dark?

"You, you... nonsense! I never thought that way! You're slandering me!"

Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red. He nearly charged up to fight Gula to the death. Unfortunately, Flender was not there, so no one was holding him back, leaving him unable to put on an act to recover face.

More importantly, now that Gula had exposed the dark thoughts in his heart, his plan to take a disciple had basically come to nothing.

At that thought, Yu Xiaogang nearly fainted from anger.

At that moment, he racked his brains, making a last desperate struggle to excuse himself:

"I only wanted to take Little San as my disciple. He has a steady personality and is qualified to inherit everything I have learned in my life. As for whether he would be willing to follow the path I planned, I would tell him the dangers in advance!"

"Yes, yes, you'd wait until the matter was right in front of him before telling Little San. Would he still be able to refuse?"

Gula only nodded, yet it made Yu Xiaogang completely break down. He thought about how to refute him, but deep down, he felt that he really would do exactly as Gula had said.

That made him feel as if Gula were leading him by the nose, so he grew even more flustered and furious.

He finally sensed that something was wrong and glared at Gula. "You know me?"

Gula spread his hands. "The name of Grandmaster is like thunder in my ears."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang knew he had misjudged him.

Leaving Tang San aside for the moment, Gula was not the fledgling who knew nothing about the Soul Master World that he had imagined. His own wishful thinking had gone to the dogs.

He directly ignored Gula and thickened his skin to speak to Tang San:

"Tang San, you should have your own thoughts. Don't let others lead you around. I do indeed have my own selfish motives and want you to help me prove my theory, but I absolutely have no intention of harming you."

"Even if you are unwilling to become my disciple, there are more books in my dormitory than in the academy. You can come over to read and study at any time. I welcome you anytime."

After saying this, Yu Xiaogang's courage ran out. He no longer had the face to stay, so he left behind the Martial Soul Certificate and hurried back to the Teacher Dormitory.

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang's lonely back and did indeed sense Yu Xiaogang's sincerity. The main reason was that he was reluctant to give up the books Yu Xiaogang had mentioned. Right now, he understood too little about the Soul Master World and did not want to keep relying on Gula. This was Tang San's principle in dealing with people and matters: he had always trusted himself more, and would not casually change that.

He turned to look at Gula and asked:

"Brother Gu, what should I do?"

Gula looked at Tang San and saw that Tang San had already made a decision in his heart. It had to be said that Yu Xiaogang was very accurate at judging people. Tang San could not resist his temptation. For Tang San, who lacked a sense of security, enough books were the best channel for understanding the world.

If he firmly opposed it, Tang San might agree, but in the future, when Tang San needed to use knowledge yet did not understand it, would he resent Gula in his heart for meddling and stopping him?

The answer went without saying. Tang San did not have memories of the original work. When that time came, the one he resented would not be Yu Xiaogang, but Gula.

Gula mocked himself inwardly. Psychic Power training was pretty effective, huh? Even his ability to read the Human Heart had grown quite a bit stronger.

He hid his inner thoughts and smiled. "Of course you should go. Why refuse free benefits?"

"Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, a piece of trash who only reached rank twenty-nine at fifty years old. After reading his books, once you become a powerful Soul Master in the future, you can repay him with a little effort. There's no need to feel burdened."

Only then did Tang San learn Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power Level, and the filter he had just developed toward an intellectual cracked slightly in his heart.

"Brother Gu, you're right. A real man doesn't fuss over minor details, and must repay kindness. I believe I'll have the ability to repay Grandmaster in the future."

Gula nodded. "Do as you said. I'll support you from behind."

Tang San felt Gula's concern and trust, and was extremely moved. He nodded heavily. "Mm."

After the two reached a consensus, they went together to the Dean's Office to finish registering, then headed for the Work-Study Student dormitory.

Nuoding Academy was very large, and the dormitory area was even larger. Even for Work-Study Students who did not pay tuition, Dormitory Seven, where they lived, covered an area of three hundred square meters.

There were no partitions in the dormitory, but the spacious room was enough for everyone to keep a degree of privacy and leave space for cultivation.

Gula and Tang San went to buy bedding first. When they arrived outside Dormitory Seven, they heard the crackle and bang of fighting from inside.

Tang San's brows furrowed, and his body instinctively tensed.

Bang!

Gula did not care about any of that. He kicked open the door to Dormitory Seven and saw a delicate, adorable-looking girl smugly stepping on another youth.

"Do you yield?"

The girl's name was Xiao Wu. She was a Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit in human form. Fond of taking in underlings, she was currently carrying out the challenge to replace Dormitory Seven's boss.

The former boss of Dormitory Seven, Wang Sheng, was very tactful. Lying on the floor, he begged for mercy. "I yield, I yield! Sister Xiao Wu will be our Dormitory Seven's new boss from now on!"

"Hurry up and call her boss!" Wang Sheng urged the Work-Study Students.

"Boss." "Boss."

The repeated calls of "boss" left Xiao Wu quite intoxicated with enjoyment. She waved her hand. "Boss doesn't sound good. From now on, you'll call me Big Sister. Got it?"

"Got it, Big Sister."

Wang Sheng immediately changed his wording and looked toward the newly arrived Gula and Tang San.

"You new guys, hurry over and greet Big Sister."
