Hidden Quest Triggered, Sacrifice Yu Xiaogang? (Seeking Collections, Seeking Recommendations!)

The Sacrifice Points gained from sacrificing an ordinary person were pitifully few.

This showed just how valuable Tang San was.

"Ta Ma, you're courting death!"

Kicked to the ground by a child and nearly rendered infertile, the gatekeeper was practically beside himself with rage.

Luckily, no one else had seen it. Otherwise, he would have had nowhere to put his face.

He struggled to his feet, not even caring whether the tangled mess down there could still be separated, and was about to rush forward to regain his dignity.

"Stop!"

Just then, a voice stopped the gatekeeper.

The four of them looked toward the sound and saw a middle-aged man dressed in black striding over to Village Chief Old Jack's side.

"M-Master..."

The moment he saw the newcomer, the gatekeeper immediately changed his expression.

The corners of his mouth nearly stretched to the back of his head.

"So this is Yu Xiaogang?"

Huo Feng gave him a casual glance before looking away.

Having read the original novel, he had no favorable impression of this guy whatsoever.

Even Tang San was better than him.

If he remembered correctly, Yu Xiaogang should currently be a rank twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster.

If he could sacrifice him, the benefits should not be small.

Ding! Hidden mission triggered!

Sacrifice Yu Xiaogang!

Mission Reward: Five-Hundred-Year Yellow Soul Ring!

Holy shit!

The reward was actually a five-hundred-year Yellow Soul Ring.

Huo Feng truly had not expected the reward for sacrificing Yu Xiaogang to be so generous.

If he remembered correctly, Tang San's first soul ring in the future, the Mandala Snake, was only four hundred years old.

It seemed the system's loathing for Yu Xiaogang was even greater than his own.

"I'll take care of these two children."

As Huo Feng pondered this, Yu Xiaogang's voice came again.

He had just checked the Spirit Hall certificate in Village Chief Old Jack's hand. After confirming there were no issues, he said this.

"Then thank you, Master."

After giving Huo Feng and Tang San a few more instructions, Old Jack turned and left.

"Come on, let's go inside."

Yu Xiaogang led the two into the gates of Notting Academy.

He was extremely interested in these two little fellows.

Just having two children with Innate Full Soul Power was enough to astonish him.

"What are your names?"

Yu Xiaogang asked casually.

"My name is Huo Feng."

"My name is Tang San."

The two answered in turn.

After receiving their answers, Yu Xiaogang swept a thoughtful glance over them before continuing onward.

Though Notting Academy was only a junior Soul Master Academy, its surroundings were already quite pleasant.

Huo Feng was still admiring the scenery when he turned his head and saw that Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had already started chatting.

And it even seemed as though they were deliberately avoiding him.

Sure enough, birds of a feather flocked together.

Perhaps people like them were born with similar magnetic fields that drew them toward each other.

In the original novel, Yu Xiaogang should have just discovered Tang San's Twin Martial Souls by this point.

That was why he had spoken so cautiously.

Huo Feng could not hear any of the important parts at all.

That was it?

And Ta Ma was afraid I'd hear it? He was only eager to talk to Tang San because Huo Feng was a child who supposedly understood nothing. Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang would never have rushed to speak with Tang San.

Little did he know that none of this was any secret to Huo Feng.

"Thud—!"

A strange sound suddenly rang out in the courtyard.

Huo Feng hurriedly looked up, only to see Tang San drop to both knees and, with lightning speed, kowtow three times to Yu Xiaogang.

Huo Feng was utterly dumbfounded.

How could I have forgotten you had this scene?

Even Tang Hao probably had never received such treatment.

"Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

Tang San's attitude was respectful as he bowed low to the ground.

Yu Xiaogang froze for a moment, his peripheral vision flicking toward Huo Feng, who stood diagonally behind him.

He quickly stepped forward, bent down, and helped Tang San up.

"There's no need for this."

Tang San rose to his feet and only then noticed that Huo Feng was watching him.

An awkward look immediately appeared on his face.

But what did that matter if he could become Master's disciple?

Seeing that things had worked out on Tang San's side, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze toward Huo Feng.

In his view, Huo Feng appeared much stronger than Tang San on the surface.

Both possessed Innate Full Soul Power, but Huo Feng's martial soul was only an ordinary iron sword.

Tang San's martial soul might have been Blue Silver Grass, but he possessed an exceptionally powerful second martial soul.

Thus, Tang San's potential was surely greater than Huo Feng's.

Still, he would not let go of two such experimental subjects capable of proving his invincible theories.

With that thought, Yu Xiaogang forced a stiff smile and spoke gently. "Huo Feng, would you be willing to take me as your master, just like Tang San?"

Take you as my master?

Huo Feng sneered inwardly.

I'd rather smash my head into a wall.

Wasn't the system good enough?

That was secondary. The main reason was that Yu Xiaogang's character made it impossible for Huo Feng to feel even the slightest favor toward him.

The fates of Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong remained vivid in his mind.

Huo Feng gently shook his head and said softly, "Master, I don't want to consider such matters for now. I only want to study normally at the academy."

Yu Xiaogang was clearly stunned by Huo Feng's answer.

He truly had not expected a six-year-old child to refuse him.

It was completely beyond his expectations.

Still, he was a man of deep restraint, and his expression did not change.

"That's fine. If you have any questions in the future, you can come find me."

He did not want to casually give up such an excellent experimental candidate.

Compared to Tang San, he felt even more strongly that Huo Feng's maturity was far inferior.

Though Tang San was young, both his speech and conduct resembled those of an adult.

Huo Feng, on the other hand, seemed like an ordinary child.

Yu Xiaogang was not the only one surprised; Tang San was even more taken aback.

Originally, he had thought rather highly of Huo Feng.

But after what Huo Feng had just done, he felt that Huo Feng was nothing special after all.

Master had been able to tell from a simple martial soul certificate that he possessed Twin Martial Souls. He was definitely no ordinary man.

Tang San had personally knelt and kowtowed before successfully becoming his disciple, yet Huo Feng had actually refused.

He truly lacked discernment.

Naturally, Tang San said nothing. But when he looked at Huo Feng again, a faint trace of disdain inevitably appeared in his expression.

"Alright, I'll take you to the Academic Affairs Office to register."

Yu Xiaogang turned and continued forward.

Huo Feng and Tang San followed close behind.

The registration process was very simple.

Once it was done, Yu Xiaogang left.

Huo Feng and Tang San carried their luggage to the dormitory together.

Their destination was the work-study student dormitory reserved exclusively for Seventh Dorm.

"You two, are you the new work-study students this year?"

The moment they reached Seventh Dorm's entrance, a voice came from inside.

Right after that, a particularly burly boy stepped forward. With his arms folded across his chest, he looked down at them and said, "My name is Wang Sheng. My martial soul is the Battle Tiger, and I'm the boss here!"

"What are your names?"

Hiss. At the sight of Wang Sheng, Huo Feng's mind raced.

Going by the plot, Tang San was probably about to show off again.

Then he would become the boss of Seventh Dorm.

And then he would cross paths with Xiao Wu.

If that was the case, Tang San couldn't be allowed to pull this stunt.

Huo Feng had to be the one to do it.
