Yu Xiaogang Was Stunned! Mutated Spirit? Level Ten Soul Power?

Gu Xuan had just put away the system when he heard a set of footsteps heading toward Dormitory Seven.

The entire process of opening the Blind Box had been incredibly quick.

It had taken no more than around ten minutes in total.

Someone had actually returned so soon.

Creak—!

At that moment, the dormitory door was pushed open.

Gu Xuan casually glanced toward the entrance.

Then he was left speechless.

The one who had returned was actually Tang San.

He had left last, yet he was the first to return.

Could any random man be this fast?

A faint smile unconsciously appeared on Gu Xuan's face. When he looked up, he saw Tang San walking toward him.

What is this guy trying to do?

Gu Xuan frowned slightly and watched Tang San calmly.

Tang San walked up to him and stopped.

"Gu Xuan, my teacher wants to invite you over."

Tang San's voice was not loud, but Gu Xuan heard him clearly.

Your teacher?

Wasn't that fucking Yu Xiaogang?

Even though Tang San had used the word "invite," Gu Xuan had no interest whatsoever in that bastard Yu Xiaogang.

He was practically about to blurt out a refusal.

But in the next second, the system's voice rang out in Gu Xuan's mind.

Ding!

System mission issued!

Mission: Sacrifice Yu Xiaogang!

Mission Reward: 100% chance to obtain 1 Epic-tier Blind Box, 1,000 points of System Essence!

Hiss—!

The words "not going," which had already reached Gu Xuan's lips, were swallowed back down.

Although he could not immediately go and sacrifice Yu Xiaogang right now, he could at least see what that guy wanted from him.

It would also give him an opportunity to prepare for sacrificing Yu Xiaogang later.

With that thought, Gu Xuan looked at Tang San seriously.

"What does Great Master want with me?"

Tang San shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"Teacher said we'll know once we get there."

Although Tang San's expression appeared perfectly normal, he was actually extremely frustrated inside.

Just now, in the cafeteria, he had happened to run into Yu Xiaogang.

The latter had called him upstairs to eat.

Then Tang San had briefly explained how Gu Xuan had become the boss of the work-study students.

Naturally, he had skipped over the part about kneeling.

Who would have thought that when Yu Xiaogang heard that Gu Xuan's scythe martial soul seemed to have changed, his emotions would suddenly become exceptionally agitated.

Then he had told Tang San to do whatever it took to bring Gu Xuan over.

Though Tang San was unwilling, it was Yu Xiaogang's order, so he could only comply.

"Alright, let's go, then."

Gu Xuan nodded calmly.

Led by Tang San, the two of them headed straight to Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.

At the sight of the newcomer, the latter could not suppress his excitement.

"Gu Xuan, could you let me take a look at your Martial Soul?"

Yu Xiaogang directly left Tang San to the side and looked at Gu Xuan with a smile.

Based on his speculation, Gu Xuan's scythe Martial Soul was very likely the result of a Martial Soul mutation.

If it really was as he suspected, then Gu Xuan would be an excellent subject for proving his invincible theory!

In that case, no matter what, he had to take Gu Xuan as his disciple.

As for Tang San, Yu Xiaogang had instead placed him second in priority.

Who would have thought that Gu Xuan would shake his head almost without hesitation?

"No!"

That answer left Yu Xiaogang completely stunned.

Am I really that lacking in prestige?

He had been rejected when taking on a disciple before, and now he was being refused even a single look at someone's Martial Soul.

For a brief moment, Yu Xiaogang even began to doubt himself.

Just then, the corner of his eye caught the Blue Crystal Ball on the table behind Gu Xuan.

An idea immediately flashed through his mind.

Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back, put on an act, and walked over to pick up the Blue Crystal Ball.

"Tang San, the academy asked me to test your Soul Power. You go first!"

"Ah? Me?"

Tang San thought he had misheard.

His teacher had just been speaking with Gu Xuan, yet in the blink of an eye, the attention had turned to him.

He hurried forward, circulated his Soul Power, and released his Blue Silver Grass.

Then he placed his right hand on the crystal ball.

"Bzzzt—~!"

The Blue Crystal Ball trembled slightly, and the golden specks of light within it actually began to dance.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened instantly.

He had only asked Tang San to go first because he wanted to see Gu Xuan's Martial Soul.

Yet the crystal ball's unexpected reaction showed that Tang San's Soul Power was not low.

"Level Nine!"

"It's actually Level Nine!"

Yu Xiaogang's delight was completely undisguised.

He had originally guessed that Tang San's Soul Power would only be around Level Six or Seven.

At Level Nine Soul Power, he was only one level away from reaching Level Ten.

By then, he could take Tang San to obtain a spirit ring and verify his first theory!

If Tang San was already Level Nine, then Gu Xuan...

At that thought, Yu Xiaogang's heart jolted.

He then looked at Tang San with feigned calmness.

"Train diligently and do not slack off. Break through to Level Ten as soon as possible!"

"When the time comes, your teacher will naturally help you obtain your First Spirit Ring!"

Yu Xiaogang painted this promise for Tang San in crystal-clear terms.

Tang San nodded repeatedly, saying that he would train hard.

At the same time, Tang San secretly rejoiced. Cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill really could increase his Soul Power at the same time.

Only then did Yu Xiaogang turn his gaze back to Gu Xuan.

"Gu Xuan, let me test how much Soul Power you have."

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's voice, Gu Xuan unexpectedly did not refuse.

He walked over directly.

In truth, he had originally intended to refuse.

But if he did, he would probably lose the chance to come into contact with Yu Xiaogang.

And then he would have no way to complete the sacrifice.

"Swish—~!"

As he circulated his Soul Power, the Scythe of Shadows instantly appeared in Gu Xuan's hand.

"Th-"

"Th-this..."

The never-before-seen scythe left Yu Xiaogang completely dumbfounded.

He considered his theoretical knowledge unparalleled; he had seen practically every martial soul that had ever appeared.

There was only one reason Gu Xuan's scythe martial soul was like this—it had mutated!

"Bzzz—~!"

Before Yu Xiaogang could calm down, the Blue Crystal Ball suddenly erupted with a dazzling brilliance.

It nearly blinded him.

"Level Ten!"

Seeing the detected Level Ten spirit power only further convinced him that his judgment was correct.

His gaze fell on Gu Xuan.

This kid had some talent. No wonder he had been unwilling to take him as his master.

A plan quietly began to form in his heart.

This time, Gu Xuan would surely realize once again

that taking him as his master was the choice he ought to make.

Yu Xiaogang had calmed down, but Tang San was unable to remain calm.

During Spirit Awakening, he and Gu Xuan had both possessed an innate Level Five Spirit Power.

He was now Level Nine only because he trained the Mysterious Heaven Skill desperately every day.

But how had Gu Xuan reached Level Ten spirit power?!

This fucking made no sense!

For a moment, Tang San began to doubt himself.

He felt utterly miserable.

"Tang San, next, I will put you through special training."

"Once your spirit power breaks through to Level Ten, your master will immediately obtain your First Spirit Ring for you."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang looked toward Gu Xuan and revealed a stiff smile.

"You can come along then as well."

"If all goes smoothly, we'll help you obtain your First Spirit Ring too."
