Yu Xiaogang Helps Others

Tang San had already thought of an excuse before coming.

"Teacher, my martial soul is a little special. Not only do I have Twin Martial Souls, but my Cultivation Speed is also relatively fast. I don't know whether this is a characteristic of Twin Martial Souls."

"I feel like none of my classmates cultivate as fast as I do. Even Li Chen and Xiao Wu, who have Innate Full Soul Power, aren't as fast as me."

Yu Xiaogang stroked his stubble and said seriously, "That should be the case. There are too few examples of Twin Martial Souls. Although my previous research in this area has been quite thorough, there are inevitably still some shortcomings."

"As far as I know, Twin Martial Souls do indeed cultivate faster than ordinary martial souls, but I truly didn't expect you to be this fast!"

"Worthy of being my disciple."

"How about this? Go back first. Once I've made preparations, we'll head to Soul Hunting Forest together in three days to obtain your first Soul Ring!"

Tang San respectfully bowed. "Teacher, I'll be leaving first."

"Ding-dong, Yu Xiaogang, you have a new task. Would you like to accept it?"

"System, what task is it?"

Yu Xiaogang asked excitedly.

"Host, you do not have the authority to know in advance. If you refuse this task, the system will randomly remove one of your organs. Of course, it won't let you die just like that."

"Hiss... I accept, I accept!"

"Very well, Host. Your task is to help two students other than Tang San obtain their first Soul Rings. Reward: two levels of Soul Power!"

"System, why this task? Can you explain the reason behind it?"

Yu Xiaogang was full of confusion. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't see what benefit this task had for him. The only benefit was gaining two levels of Soul Power.

"Yu Xiaogang, watch your attitude. Do not question this system in that tone."

"Having you help students obtain Soul Rings is to build a foundation for your disciple Tang San. A single tree cannot make a forest. Although your disciple's talent is unparalleled, he is ultimately alone and outnumbered. Take this opportunity to help him establish prestige, then win over a few talented children. Understand?"

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly nodded.

At that moment, Little Tangyuan's voice rang out in Li Chen's mind.

"Li Chen, Tang San has completed his task. You have been rewarded with five levels of Soul Power. You are now level eighteen."

That was right. Refining the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone had raised Li Chen by three levels. As for why it was only three levels, Tangyuan had used part of her power to strengthen Li Chen's foundation. Continuously advancing too quickly was not a good thing.

"Is this Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night?"

Li Chen looked disgusted as he used a small wooden stick to pick up Yu Xiaogang's Belt. He didn't want to touch it with his hands. Who knew how long Yu Xiaogang had used it? He had no fetish for using a man's old clothing.

"Tangyuan, can you modify this for me? Turn it into a good-looking, portable Soul Tool?"

"Yes, but after reforging it, part of the storage space will be lost. It won't be able to hold twenty-four cubic meters anymore."

"No problem!"

After returning to the dormitory that evening, Tang San said in front of everyone, "My teacher, Yu Xiaogang, has generously offered to help two students obtain their first Soul Rings. Has anyone in our dorm reached level ten?"

As Tang San spoke, he glanced at Xiao Wu and Li Chen. He had long known that both of them had Innate Full Soul Power, but Tang San was not jealous, because he knew his own talent was actually far above theirs.

Their lead was only temporary.

Xiao Wu looked in surprise at Li Chen, who was cracking sunflower seeds on the neighboring bed. Her big eyes were filled with astonishment.

But not wanting to miss this opportunity, she hurriedly raised her hand.

"Me! Tang San, I'm signing up! And Li Chen too, I'm signing him up as well!"

Tang San looked at the other students, but no one spoke. Leaving aside the fact that none of them had reached level ten, even if they had, they couldn't compete with Li Chen and Xiao Wu. The spots definitely wouldn't be theirs.

Li Chen looked at Tang San and smiled warmly. "Third Brother, I'm signing up too."

When Tang San heard Li Chen call him Third Brother, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

At least this kid knows what's good for him. He knows who to follow if he wants a future.

Tang San thought.

"Alright, then it'll be the two of you. But let's make this clear first: you'll need to prepare your own travel expenses and food. The journey is quite long, so make sure you bring enough food and water."

"Also, don't bring too many useless things. Do you hear me, Xiao Wu?"

Tang San grinned at Xiao Wu. Looking at her adorable little face, he felt a strong urge to protect her.

"Xiao Wu, if you don't have money, I can ask my teacher for help. For my sake, he should be willing to prepare a share for you too."

Since they had just helped her, Xiao Wu felt it would be rude to ignore Tang San now, so she answered perfunctorily, "No need. I have money. I still haven't spent all the money my family gave me."

Xiao Wu had no mood to talk to Tang San at all. Her mind was full of one question: How was Li Chen so amazing? Why had he known Yu Xiaogang would help them obtain Soul Rings?

Could Li Chen predict the future?

As soon as dawn broke the next day, Li Chen and Xiao Wu went out shopping.

Their purpose was to prepare for the upcoming trip. At that moment, Li Chen wore a Dark Gold Rose Pattern Ring on his right hand.

The ring was entirely black, adorned with golden rose patterns, and looked extremely luxurious.

"Li Chen, who gave you the ring on your hand?"

Xiao Wu asked with wary suspicion in her eyes. Handsome and outstanding boys like Li Chen were hard to find. She had finally met one, so she couldn't let some vixen snatch him away.

"Xiao Wu, you know I'm an orphan. I lacked love since childhood~~"

"Oh, no, I was raised by Grandpa Jack since I was little, so who would give me a ring?"

Li Chen deliberately put on a pitiful expression. He only wanted to tease Xiao Wu, but when she saw how miserable he looked, she immediately apologized guiltily.

"I'm sorry, Li Chen. It was my fault. I brought up something sad for you. I was only asking, I didn't mean anything else."

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. It's okay."

Li Chen rubbed Xiao Wu's head. "Silly girl, I'm fine. This was hanging around my neck when I was born. Maybe my parents left it for me, so I could give it to someone I like in the future."

"Then... do you have someone you like?"

Xiao Wu raised her head and asked timidly.

"We're still young. We should focus on cultivation. We can talk about those things later. Be good."

"Then where are we going now?"

Li Chen replied, "First, we'll go to Spirit Hall and collect this month's allowance. I still have three Gold Soul Coins here. Adding the two we collect today, that'll be enough!"
