The End of the Master-Disciple Bond, Flender's Choice
Upon hearing Oscar's words, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed slightly, and he then questioned, "What do you know? The quality of Martial Soul can be discerned from its form. Do you think I wouldn't recognize an ordinary Blue Silver Grass?"
Oscar's expression remained calm upon hearing this. "It seems you really are arrogant. If Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was just ordinary Blue Silver Grass, do you think he could cultivate so quickly?"
"Originally, Martial Soul with a top-tier bloodline has become just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass in your hands. Originally, Tang San could have quickly grown his Blue Silver Grass, but because of you, because of your ignorance, his Blue Silver Grass is still only in its ordinary form."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he had also figured something out. He then said to Yu Xiaogang, "Teacher, actually I lean more towards what Senior Student said, but after all, you have taught me for six years and I have indeed learned a lot, but..."
As Tang San spoke, he looked at Oscar with a determined gaze. "But I want to become stronger and become a true powerhouse, so I will follow my Senior Student's instructions to cultivate and develop the true potential of my Blue Silver Grass Spirit."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang felt a wave of dizziness. What was his disciple saying? That he would have to follow Oscar's instructions for cultivation from now on? What about him, the teacher? Was he just a figurehead?
Although Yu Xiaogang also sensed something was amiss, because Oscar's words did make sense, even so, he had only underestimated Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Spirit.
Yu Xiaogang stared at Tang San, his eyes blazing with fury. "Tang San! Are you trying to betray your master and ancestors? I thought you were a clever child, but now it seems you're utterly foolish!"
"I've devoted decades to my studies and poured all my talent into you. Is this how you repay me?"
Flender looked at the furious Yu Xiaogang and didn't know what to say for a moment, because he and Yu Xiaogang had indeed had a relationship of more than ten years.
However, objectively speaking, Oscar is clearly in the right, especially since even Yu Xiaogang's own disciple Tang San, sided with Oscar, which left Flender speechless.
If you can't even teach your own disciples, what are you doing here? Doesn't this put me, Flender, in a difficult position?
Oscar then spoke up, "Heh, painstaking research? I think you're just stealing other people's achievements. Although you were born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, you haven't received any support from the family. Where do you get the confidence to study other people's Martial Soul? As a Soul Grandmaster who can't break through to the Soul Elder level in your lifetime, who would let you study their Martial Soul?"
"Yu Xiaogang, I originally wanted to save you some face, but now it seems there's no need."
Upon hearing Oscar's words, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed instantly, because what Oscar said was true, but...
Oscar ignored Yu Xiaogang and turned to Flender: "Dean, I think you should have seen the true colors of your friend today. I've heard about your story as the Horn of Flight of the Golden Iron Triangle, but I want to remind you that such a person is not worthy to be with you."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang angrily retorted, "Boy, what do you know? How dare you comment on the more than ten years of friendship between me and Flender?"
Yu Xiaogang turned to Flender: "Flender, this is the good student you taught! Since things have come to this, I'll ask you one question: only one of us can stay at the Shrek Academy. If you choose him, I'll take Tang San with me!"
Hearing this, Flender was at his wit's end, but before Flender could make a decision, Tang San said, "Teacher, are you really going to continue being unreasonable?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with even greater disbelief. "What did you say? I'm being unreasonable?"
Tang San sighed, as if he had made up his mind. "The dean and I heard your argument with the Senior Student very clearly. You do have real talent and learning, but you are wrong about my Martial Soul cultivation. It is possible that your mistake will affect my entire life."
"I, Tang San, am definitely not a mediocre person, and I will never give in. If my Blue Silver Grass is really just Trash Spirit, then I will work even harder to become stronger."
"However, if you only chose to take me as your disciple because of my talent, and used my so-called useless Blue Silver Grass Spirit Trash Spirit fulfill your own wishes, then... I thank you for your kindness over the past six years, but I hope you will not interfere in my affairs anymore in the future."
Hearing these words, Yu Xiaogang felt that all his efforts over the past six years had been wasted. His disciple, whom he treated like his own son, would say such things and think that he was being used? However, that was the truth, but Yu Xiaogang just didn't dare to admit it. In all his years at the Nuoding Academy, there were many talented Soul Master, but none of them were like Tang San.
Although Tang San appears to possess a Trash Spirit, Blue Silver Grass, he is actually Innate Full Soul Power and is Twin Martial Souls possessor. Yu Xiaogang wanted to train a genius like Tang San, since Tang San's Trash Spirit on the surface.
But what he didn't expect was that a child in his teens would shatter his dream and even expose his little scheme.
Tang San continued, "Actually, my Senior Student has already told me that the reason you took me as your disciple is simply because I have Trash Spirit on the surface, but I actually have exceptional talent. Even without you, I will still be able to stand at the top of the Spirit Master World in the future, because my Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power already represent my talent."
"What you mean there are only useless Martial Soul, not useless Soul Master? You're just fooling yourself. If Soul Master's Martial Soul doesn't have cultivation talent, how could he possibly achieve anything?"
Upon hearing these words, Yu Xiaogang coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered, and collapsed to the ground. He pointed a finger at Tang San and exclaimed, "I never expected this! I treated you like my own son, and you turned out to be such an ingrate!"
"I understand, I understand everything. Flender, are you just laughing at me too?"
Flender was at a loss for what to do, because Yu Xiaogang had indeed fallen short. Targeting a child in his teens was one thing, but now even his own disciple couldn't trust him.
This is actually a way of being a person. Flender even wondered why he had gotten together with Yu Xiaogang in the first place.
Was it because of his status? Did he want to use his status to gain some advantages? No, it was Liu Erlong. If it weren't for Liu Erlong, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand Yu Xiaogang's temper long ago.
He is self-righteous and arrogant. He clearly gets preferential treatment in his actions because he is Yu Yuanzhen's biological son, but he never admits it and thinks it is all due to his own efforts.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Flender deeply loved Liu Erlong, while Liu Erlong fell in love with Yu Xiaogang, and if Flender had extended his affection to Yu Xiaogang, perhaps he would have already cut off all contact with Yu Xiaogang.
Now, Flender has truly seen through Yu Xiaogang, but due to their more than ten years of past relationship, he is somewhat at a loss as to what to do.
When Tang San saw Yu Xiaogang fall to the ground, he did not go up to help him up this time. Instead, he continued, "Originally, I did not intend to say these words. After all, we have been master and disciple for six years, and I also wanted to give each other a good ending. However, I did not want to make things difficult for my Senior Student and the dean, so I will play the villain."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was so enraged that he spat out another mouthful of blood. Pointing at Tang San, he said tremblingly, "You... you're a heartless ingrate! Do you think they would sincerely welcome someone like you who would betray their master and ancestors?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San frowned. Indeed, what he was doing now did have the air of betraying his master and ancestors.
However, all of this was because Yu Xiaogang had deceived himself by taking advantage of his ignorance, even wasting his talent for cultivation, and still wanted to use Tang San Yu Xiaogang achieve his own success.
Having figured everything out, Tang San calmly said, "Those who understand will understand, and I don't need to explain to those who don't."
"I'll call you teacher one last time. There's no need for you to keep making trouble here. Leave now, and let's give our six years of teacher-student relationship a good ending. I won't pursue the past, and I don't need your interference in the future."
As soon as Tang San finished speaking, Flender felt a jolt in his heart. This Tang San... seems to have a bit of a personality.
However, the fact that this kid could directly abandon six years of master-disciple relationship suggests that Oscar was right; Xiao Gang must have wasted his talent. Otherwise, how could a child have ended up like this? But Yu Xiaogang didn't share Flender's thoughts. He only felt a darkness before his eyes, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground unconscious.
Oscar watched this scene indifferently. He had no intention of doing anything to Yu Xiaogang, as there was no need for it.
Although he did dislike Yu Xiaogang's actions, Yu hadn't infringed on his interests, so Oscar didn't feel the need to go to extremes.
Oscar glanced at Tang San and then at Flender, and said slowly, "Tang San, I have seen your attitude. Go back and rest first. Tomorrow I will formally teach you cultivation and try to make up for the wrong path you took before."
Tang San nodded and bowed to Oscar: "Thank you, Senior Student. But he was my teacher after all, so I would like to see him off one last time."
Oscar looked up at Tang San, and after a moment of silence, said, "Hesitation leads to trouble. You're a good kid. There are some things you don't need to bear. Go back and rest, get a good night's sleep. After today, the past will be like fleeting clouds. Don't dwell on it. Embrace your new future."
Hearing Oscar's words, Tang San was deeply moved and knelt down on one knee before Oscar: "Senior Student, I will repay your kindness Tang San."
Oscar helped Tang San up. "Go on, I'll take care of things here."
After Tang San left, Oscar looked at Flender with a hint of apology. "Dean, I am responsible for what happened today, but because I knew about your relationship with Yu Xiaogang, I didn't tell you beforehand so that you could see his true colors."
"Excuse my bluntness, but some friends can last a lifetime, while others are just friends."
Upon hearing Oscar's words, Flender stood there stunned for a long time before finally sighing, "Fine, let bygones be bygones. Xiao Ao, you're right, but the methods don't have to be so extreme."
Oscar nodded. "I understand, Dean. I promise it won't happen again."
Flender returned to his seat, picked up his pen, and said, "I'll write a letter. When you take Xiaogang to Suotuo City, give him the letter on the way."
"Okay." Oscar nodded, then asked, "When are you and the Vice Dean coming back?"
As Flender wrote, he replied, "Soon, within a month. Thank you for your hard work during this time."
After writing the letter, Oscar helped Yu Xiaogang up from the ground, ate a Clone Sausage, and created a clone that took Yu Xiaogang to Suotuo City.
Upon arriving in Suotuo City, before leaving, Oscar's clone took a small bottle of blood from Yu Xiaogang and then fed him a Super Recovery Great Sausage. Only after Yu Xiaogang recovered did the clone leave.
The reason for taking away some of Yu Xiaogang's blood was to prepare for some later plans.
After all, although Yu Xiaogang's strength wasn't that great, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill he, Flender, and Liu Erlong possessed was powerful enough.
In the original story, the three of them, with just two Soul Saints and one Soul Grandmaster, were able to exchange a few blows with Dugu Bo at the time after forming Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which is enough to prove the power of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Leaving Yu Xiaogang's blood was merely to leave Flender a trump card.
After dealing with the matter between Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, the Shrek Academy students had another member to train with: Tang San. Of course, Oscar had already made a training plan for Tang San in the first two days after Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived at the Shrek Academy.
Now that Tang San has returned, he can be integrated into his plans. After all, he really wants to train Tang San well to avoid some of the bad endings in the original story.
Although Flender felt somewhat saddened by Yu Xiaogang's situation, he had finally seen through Yu Xiaogang and realized that letting go wasn't a difficult thing for him.
Although Tang San appeared calm on the surface, he was still somewhat upset inside. After all, he was no longer the Dog Training Master God King Tang from the Douluo Dalu Season 2 Continent era; he was still very loyal and sentimental.
However, after learning the truth, he found it hard to accept, to the point that he couldn't accept becoming Oscar's apprentice again.
It wasn't because of his age. For people of his time, age wasn't really important, because they valued those who had achieved something as their teachers.
Having just severed his master-disciple relationship with Yu Xiaogang, he couldn't accept immediately switching to another's tutelage.
However, Oscar was very understanding and didn't take it to Oscar. In his own words, he was Tang San's senior, and it was only right for an old man to guide a newcomer. As long as Tang San was willing to learn, Oscar was willing to teach him without reservation.
However, Tang San must remember one thing: he must use what he has learned for the good cause, otherwise Oscar will expel him from the party no matter where he is.
Tang San naturally understood all of this, so he directly Spirit Oath. The reason for this was that he was afraid Oscar would not dare to teach him anything real because of his "betrayal of his master and ancestors".
In the Douluo Continent, Spirit Oath is tantamount to swearing an oath to the Heavenly Dao. If one breaks the oath, one's Martial Soul will be shattered and one's cultivation will be completely destroyed.
This may be an exaggeration, but it does have a huge impact on Soul Master's cultivation path. That's why very few Soul Master on the Douluo Continent Spirit Oath.
