Breaking Through Level 30? Easy as Pie

After Tang San awakened his Martial Soul and returned home, he and Tang Hao had another classic scene of fatherly love and filial devotion.

"Twin Martial Souls! My son actually has Twin Martial Souls! Twin Martial Souls are terrifying indeed!"

"So what if he doesn't have Innate Full Soul Power? Once Twin Martial Souls mature, he'll surely be able to help my Clear Sky Sect take revenge."

"Remember, without my permission, don't attach a Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer."

"This is the first time Dad has held me. I buried my head in Dad's chest. Dad's chest is so warm. This is the taste of fatherly love!"

"Use the hammer in your left hand to lure them in—ptui, protect the grass in your right hand!"

"Dad, I'm leaving."

Holy Spirit Village had two Work-Study Student slots. One had always been there, and the other had also always been there.

The two slots went to Tang San and Li Chen respectively.

Just like in the original story, Old Jack still escorted them to Nuoding City for school.

Nuoding City. On a bustling avenue, carriages streamed by like flowing water, horses packed the road like dragons.

On this street stood a restaurant famous for its waitresses, called the "Rose Restaurant." As the name suggested, this restaurant had a little something special.

The person Li Chen was distributing a Golden Finger to this time was in a corner of the main hall.

A middle-aged man of average build, dressed in a gray robe, rubbed his Crew Cut, picked at it twice, then held his fingers beneath his nose and sniffed them.

Mm, the familiar scent.

"Slurp, slurp!"

After swallowing the last mouthful of beef noodles, the man glanced at his fingers and sighed. "They really make the meal better!"

Yu Xiaogang was a regular at this restaurant. He spent money lavishly, and since he was the renowned "Theory Master" of the area, everyone was willing to show him some respect. After all, the guy was foolish and loaded.

Yu Xiaogang never worried about money. In his view, whenever he ran out, he could just ask Nuoding Academy for more.

Nuoding Academy had enrolled so many students on account of his great reputation. Students throughout Nuoding City all flocked there. Giving him some money was only natural, wasn't it?

A lovely young girl walked over and said softly, "Esteemed Theory Master of the Soul Master World, Mr. Yu Xiaogang, I am Xiao Yue, a waitress at the restaurant. My employee number is 888. Being able to serve you fills my life with sunshine.

"May I ask whether you are full? Were today's noodles to your liking?"

The girl had been watching him for a long time. Every time this master came for noodles, a few flattering words would earn her a tip worth several days' wages.

Several sisters at the restaurant had agreed to take turns so as not to hurt their relationship. Today was her turn.

Yu Xiaogang knew she was asking him to pay. It was the restaurant's usual tactic: send someone over first to stall customers in case they tried to skip out on the bill.

Ordinarily, the great Master Yu would not lose his temper over such a trivial matter. But for some reason, he was in a bad mood today, as though something were about to happen, so he grew a little angry.

Who do they think I am, Master Yu, the publicly acknowledged Theory Master of the Soul Master World? Would I ever stiff them for a bowl of noodles? Besides, my eating here is already honoring them. Even if they treated me to a meal, that would be me granting them face.

That was what Yu Xiaogang thought, but he did not dare say it aloud.

This establishment was run by a Soul Elder. Even with his invincible theories, it could sometimes be difficult to communicate with such crude people.

No, it was simply beneath him to communicate with people like that!

At this time, Li Chen, Tang San, and Old Jack were on their way to Nuoding City.

"Bind the subsystem to Yu Xiaogang."

Li Chen spoke to Tangyuan in his mind.

"OK!"

Yu Xiaogang was about to take out his money when a mechanical electronic voice rang out in his mind.

"Dear Mr. Yu Xiaogang, the experiences of the first half of your life have forged your unyielding character. Would you like to bind the Waste Counterattack System and make those who look down on you see you in a new light?"

"If you bind this system, not only will you have a chance to break through to Level 30 in Soul Power, you may even become a Titled Douluo. You may also evolve your Martial Soul, Luo San Pao, into the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul. From then on, you will excel in both scholarship and combat..."

Although Yu Xiaogang did not know what a system was, he caught the key words: "waste" and "counterattack"!

As long as he could shake off the burden Luo San Pao had placed on him, become a powerful Soul Master, and make Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong see him in a new light, he would do anything!

Yu Xiaogang seemed to see a bright future with Bibi Dong on his left and Liu Erlong on his right.

If Li Chen knew what Yu Xiaogang was thinking, he would definitely tell him, Keep dreaming.

"Bind it, bind it, of course I'll bind it."

Yu Xiaogang said excitedly in his mind.

"Mr. Yu Xiaogang, your first task is to make the waitress before you pay your bill. You have given these waitresses who knows how many tips, yet they have never shown any appreciation."

"Those who do not know gratitude do not deserve your tips."

Yu Xiaogang hesitated. How was he supposed to ask a waitress to pay his bill?

"Task reward: Soul Power raised to Level 30."

"I'll do it!"

The girl saw Yu Xiaogang staring at her with a flushed face, though she had no idea why.

A bad feeling rose in her heart.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yu Xiaogang suddenly slapped the table several times, startling the girl badly.

"Master Yu Xiaogang, is something unsatisfactory? If you have any concerns, please tell us. We will do our best to help you resolve them."

Those slaps had originally been meant to scare the waitress and make her pay the bill herself.

But this waitress was clearly too dull to understand his meaning, and she had even drawn everyone else's attention over.

A rotten piece of wood could not be carved!

Yu Xiaogang gathered his courage. "Miss, haven't I often given you tips before?"

The girl nodded like a pecking chick. "Yes, yes! Thank you, Master Yu, for understanding the hardships us ordinary people face."

"Then you can settle this master's bill this time. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."

Yu Xiaogang said those outrageous words with a blank expression.

A huge question mark seemed to appear on the girl's tiny face. "Sir, I don't quite understand what you mean. Are you asking me to pay your bill?"

"Yes. Hurry up. This master is in a hurry."

"This is outrageous!"

The girl realized Yu Xiaogang was trying to cause trouble this time and immediately screamed, "Boss! Someone is trying to dine and dash!"

Yu Xiaogang did not want to make a big scene, so he hurriedly winked at the girl. But once again, she misunderstood what he meant.

"Boss! Murder! Master Yu is going to kill someone!"

At those words, Yu Xiaogang quickly stood up to run. Now he could not explain himself even if he had a hundred mouths.

With so many people watching, if the City Lord's Mansion arrested him, he would not be afraid, but it would still be quite troublesome. Since the system was still there, he could just take on another task.

But—

Could he leave?

Master Yu, who had been preparing to depart in style, was kicked straight back inside by the guards at the door!

The Soul Elder Boss in the inner hall had actually known all along what was happening in the main hall. But knowing that Yu Xiaogang had some connection to the headmaster of Nuoding Academy, he did not want to offend him too badly.

Yu Xiaogang shouted,

"Bullshit—"

The guard heard that and thought, Oh, so he still dares to curse people? Hit him.

"Bullshit—"

"Farts roar like thunder, shaking heaven and splitting earth—Luo San Pao!"

Well, well, he was activating his Martial Soul. What an eye-opener. The crowd watching exclaimed, "This melon is huge—and guaranteed ripe!"

At this point, the boss knew he could not stay out of it any longer. Those two guards were ordinary people. Once Yu Xiaogang activated his Martial Soul, they might not be able to restrain him.

He had heard a little about Yu Xiaogang's Soul Skill as well.

If Yu Xiaogang unleashed that Soul Skill, his little restaurant could be converted into a public toilet. What business would there be left to run?

"Why aren't you stopping already, you idiots? Do you think you're a match for Master Yu Xiaogang?" Boss Chen Tao winked his left eye at several guards.
