Xiao Wu had wanted to play games with Li Chen in the dormitory, but she had been dragged here instead. She was quite unhappy about it, but after hearing what that student said, she immediately realized there was an enormous scandal today that she simply could not miss!
Li Chen pulled Xiao Wu through the crowd for quite a while before they finally reached Yu Xiaogang's dormitory door. After just one glance, Xiao Wu hurriedly covered her eyes.
"Li Chen, you're so bad! What's so interesting about looking at that filthy old man?"
A gossip-loving student beside them answered Xiao Wu.
"Junior, this is the biggest scandal of the year. Yu Xiaogang, the Theory Master of the Soul Master World, is actually sleeping naked in broad daylight! And he didn't even close the door!"
"Exactly! Hey, look who that is—he even ran inside."
Although everyone had come to enjoy the spectacle, Yu Xiaogang was still the dean's friend. With so many of them gathered here, they could not all be punished. Even if Yu Xiaogang complained, the dean could not punish every single one of them.
But if they were asked to go inside and do anything to Yu Xiaogang, they still would not dare. Yu Xiaogang was, after all, a level 29 Soul Grandmaster. He was nothing much in the Soul Master World, but he was more than capable of bullying them.
"Look, Tang San went in."
Li Chen leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear and whispered.
Xiao Wu's face turned bright red from the warm breath against her ear. She quickly grabbed Li Chen's hand and ran off.
"Hurry up, let's go. Stop looking."
Xiao Wu kept pulling Li Chen along until they reached the school field. The two of them strolled as they talked.
"Li Chen, you're already level ten. What are you going to do about your first Soul Ring?"
Xiao Wu raised her head and looked at the clear blue sky, asking as if she did not care. In truth, she cared deeply about what Li Chen would do for his first Soul Ring.
Her own situation was easy to solve, but her best friend Li Chen came from an ordinary family. Unless he had some special method, he could only wait for the school to organize a hunt for the students who had reached level ten.
But by then, it definitely would not be the Soul Ring best suited to him. The school teachers would never spend so much effort helping an ordinary student with no connections or background.
Li Chen understood what Xiao Wu was thinking and quickly comforted her. "It's fine, Xiao Wu. I heard that Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, is taking Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest in a few days. We can go with them."
Xiao Wu looked utterly unconvinced. "How could someone like Tang San possibly take us with him? And someone like Yu Xiaogang..."
"He's an exhibitionist, isn't he? Maybe he sleeps like that every day. Today, he probably just forgot to close the door and got caught."
Xiao Wu maliciously guessed.
"And he's disgusting."
Li Chen replied, "Xiao Wu, how about we make a bet? If Yu Xiaogang really takes the two of us along, then you have to agree to one request from me. No matter what it is, you can't refuse. How about it?"
Upon hearing Li Chen's words, Xiao Wu had almost agreed immediately, but then she suddenly noticed that he had said she would have to listen to him no matter what he asked.
Xiao Wu clutched the corner of her clothes and struggled with herself for a long time. In the end, she spoke weakly in a voice so soft that others could barely hear it.
"Then if I lose, your request can't be too excessive!"
"Of course. Do you think I'm someone like Tang San?"
Meanwhile, Tang San had accidentally used too much sleeping drug, causing Yu Xiaogang to sleep until now without waking up.
Still half-asleep, Yu Xiaogang heard someone seemingly calling his name. At the moment, he was dreaming of holding Bibi Dong in his left arm and Liu Erlong in his right.
Abruptly awakened, he immediately flew into a rage and slapped out without hesitation.
"Ah!"
Tang San was covering Yu Xiaogang with a blanket, but he had not forgotten to wake him up quickly.
Tang San thought, If I didn't still need Yu Xiaogang to help me hunt my Soul Ring, I wouldn't bother with you. This is humiliating.
But just as Tang San was shaking Yu Xiaogang's arm in an attempt to wake him, Yu Xiaogang, who had shown no reaction until then, suddenly gave him a resounding slap.
Tang San was instantly dazed from the blow.
After five seconds of staring at each other, Yu Xiaogang finally realized what had happened.
"Ah!"
This time, it was Yu Xiaogang who screamed.
He was a dignified Theory Master, yet today he had been watched while completely naked? How was he supposed to face anyone after this?
He swiftly got dressed and closed the door, then Yu Xiaogang's expression immediately returned to normal.
"Xiao San, what happened?"
Tang San had just been slapped, and there was still a bruise on his face.
"Teacher, you didn't cover yourself with a blanket when you slept last night, and you didn't close the door. This morning, someone saw that your room door was open. One student came in out of curiosity and saw..."
"Then every student in the school who didn't have class came over..."
Yu Xiaogang's face was livid. Sitting on the bed, he slammed both fists down onto its edge. Pain shot through his hands, and he awkwardly pulled them back before blowing on them.
"Oh no!"
Yu Xiaogang seemed to realize something. His hands reached for his waist, but found nothing there!
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly grabbed Tang San by both shoulders. "Xiao San, when you came in, did you see a belt around my crotch?"
Tang San glanced at Yu Xiaogang's crotch.
Pretending to be confused, he said, "Teacher, when I arrived, there was nothing around your crotch. Did you lose something?"
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth. "My belt is gone! That wasn't an ordinary belt—it was a precious Soul Tool, something you couldn't buy even with tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins!"
Tang San was startled. "Tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins!"
"That's right. It's an extremely precious Storage Spirit Tool."
"It has Twenty-Four Gems on it, and each gem contains one cubic meter of space. It's absolutely priceless and impossible to find on the market!"
"I had originally planned to give it to you when I took you to hunt your first Soul Ring, but I don't know which shameless bastard stole it!"
Tang San felt slightly moved and quickly communicated with his Adoptive Mother inside the ring. Adoptive Mother, wasn't what I did a little wrong? Teacher had originally planned to give it to me, but I took it away beforehand.
"Xiao San, don't feel burdened. If Yu Xiaogang truly intended to give it to you, why didn't he give it to you from the start?"
"Now that the item is gone, no matter who took it, it definitely can't be recovered. Yu Xiaogang can say whatever he wants. He does not have to give up anything, yet he can still make you grateful to him."
After thinking it over, Tang San decided that his Adoptive Mother was right. His teacher did not look like he had much money either, so how could he be willing to give away his most valuable possession?
Tang San had not forgotten why he had come and quickly changed the subject.
"Teacher, I've reached level ten. I came to see you today because I hope you'll help me hunt my first Soul Ring!"
"What? You're level ten? You've already cultivated to level ten? Let me see!"
Yu Xiaogang placed his hand on Tang San's hand and sensed him with Soul Power.
"It really is level ten. Xiao San, how did you cultivate so quickly?"
