When Yu Xiaogang invited Tang San over, Tang San looked toward Feng Hao and said, "Teacher, I'll go with Master for a while."

"Go ahead!" Feng Hao was no longer worried about any more trouble cropping up.

Even if something really did happen, they could hardly confiscate his reward.

That was obviously impossible.

"Teacher?" Yu Xiaogang desperately wanted to curse. What the hell was going on?

He had only been gone for a moment, and Feng Hao had already taken Tang San as his disciple?

Was the hope he had finally found going to disappear just like that?

"Master, Xiao San and I get along quite well, so I took him as my disciple. Do you think there's a problem with that?" Feng Hao asked with a smile.

"How are you fit to take disciples? How old are you? How much do you even know about Martial Souls? Aren't you leading him astray?" Yu Xiaogang said angrily.

"Leading him astray? Master, I don't know whether I'm leading anyone astray. But you might truly be doing so. Didn't you say there were no useless Martial Souls? Then why are you still only a Soul Grandmaster after all these years? Why don't you save yourself first before considering teaching others?" Feng Hao mocked.

"What do you know? The Martial Soul theories I study benefit everyone in the world," Yu Xiaogang said furiously. To change the subject, he directly elevated his work to the level of benefiting all humanity.

Feng Hao only wanted to laugh at that.

He burst out laughing. "Master, if you want to benefit everyone, then go save those ordinary people with mediocre talent first! Xiao San's talent is quite good. Whether he has you or not makes no difference."

"I don't want to waste words on a brat like you. Tang San, are you willing to come with me?" Yu Xiaogang asked sternly.

"Teacher, I'll go with Master for now." After bowing to Feng Hao, Tang San went off with Yu Xiaogang.

Watching their retreating figures, Feng Hao narrowed his eyes and muttered, "It seems Tang San still doesn't trust me much. He doesn't respect me nearly enough either."

In the original story, whenever Yu Xiaogang had a verbal clash with someone else, Tang San had fiercely defended him.

Yet today, he showed no intention of defending Feng Hao, his teacher, at all.

Still, Feng Hao was in no hurry.

He did not care what path Tang San chose.

It only depended on whether Tang San wanted to become Feng Hao's tool or his enemy.

When Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San to his study, he said, "Child, you're confused! How could you take that man as your teacher?"

"Master, do you mean he isn't suitable for me?" Tang San asked calmly.

He possessed the mind of an adult, so naturally he would not be impatient.

He had indeed had other thoughts just now—Feng Hao was too young.

He had the soul of an adult, while Feng Hao looked only twelve or thirteen.

It felt rather strange to take someone twelve or thirteen years old as his teacher.

Yet Feng Hao truly was capable. That left him deeply conflicted, so he intended to hear what Yu Xiaogang had to say as well.

"Of course he isn't suitable. He's a child himself. How many years has he even cultivated? What does he know about Martial Souls? My Martial Soul truly became useless because of a mutation, but my reputation for researching Martial Souls is well known across the entire continent. You can ask any powerful Soul Master about that," Yu Xiaogang said solemnly.

"Since Master says you're good at researching Martial Souls, then tell me about my current situation! Everyone says my Blue Silver Grass is a useless Martial Soul and that I can't cultivate. How should I cultivate?" Tang San asked.

"Your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul isn't useless. On the contrary, it is a very powerful Control System Martial Soul. It's just that ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls find it difficult to obtain soul rings!"

"But you're different. You can obtain them, and your Soul Power is strong. You can acquire very powerful soul rings."

"Furthermore, you don't have only this one Martial Soul. You have Twin Martial Souls. As far as I know, you are the third person in this world to possess Twin Martial Souls. Do you think, with your talent, he knows how to teach you?"

Yu Xiaogang went on and on, and Tang San felt that his words truly made sense.

Feng Hao had only known that he possessed Twin Martial Souls, but he had never explained how to cultivate the Blue Silver Grass.

Yu Xiaogang, however, had offered advice on cultivating the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Seeing that Tang San seemed somewhat persuaded, Yu Xiaogang said, "Now show me your other Martial Soul!"

"Yes!" Tang San had already shown it to Feng Hao once, so he thought it would be fine to show Yu Xiaogang as well.

Tang San released his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. The moment the Clear Sky Hammer appeared, Yu Xiaogang's entire body began to tremble.

"Tang San! Your surname is Tang! No wonder."

"Master, what Martial Soul is this?" Tang San asked curiously.

Feng Hao had been greatly shocked when he saw it, and Yu Xiaogang was just as agitated now.

Tang San was no fool. He understood that this Martial Soul was extraordinary.

"Tang San, remember this: never show this Martial Soul to anyone else in the future. Otherwise, it will bring you a fatal disaster," Yu Xiaogang said gravely.

"This..." Tang San frowned. A fatal disaster?

He had shown it to Feng Hao as well. Feng Hao seemed to know about his situation. Was that a good thing or a bad thing?

"Did you show it to someone else?" Seeing his reaction, Yu Xiaogang asked nervously.

Tang San nodded.

"Feng Hao?" Yu Xiaogang asked again.

"Mm!"

"How did he know you had Twin Martial Souls?"

"It happened like this..." Seeing the concern in Yu Xiaogang's eyes and feeling that it did not seem fake, Tang San told him what had happened.

After hearing it, Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened. He sat down and muttered, "Child, you're confused! This could harm your father."

"Harm my father?"

Tang San was startled. How could this harm his father? Why was the matter becoming more and more serious?

"Tell me, is your father named Tang Hao?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

"Yes!" Tang San nodded.

"Then my guess was correct. I now know Feng Hao's identity." A sharp glint of wisdom flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

Feng Hao had ultimately exposed a flaw for him to seize upon.

"Master, what is his identity?" Tang San asked.

"He is from Spirit Hall," Yu Xiaogang said gravely.

"Spirit Hall? Are people from Spirit Hall bad people?"

Tang San was somewhat confused. Spirit Hall had helped them awaken their Martial Souls, after all.

"For some people, no. But to you, they are enemies—enemies with a hatred as vast as the heavens," Yu Xiaogang said sternly.

"Enemies?" Tang San was dumbfounded. He knew how powerful Spirit Hall was, but he had never imagined that he and Spirit Hall were actually enemies.

"Spirit Hall has always been searching for your father. They must have learned that your father was here, which is why they came here to look for him."

"And precisely because he is from Spirit Hall, he knew about your circumstances. When he saw your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, he realized that you had another Martial Soul. He took you as his disciple solely to find your father, not to teach you."

Every word Yu Xiaogang spoke struck straight into Tang San's heart.
