Cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer First

Tang San hurriedly asked before Yu Xiaogang could speak.

"Teacher, why did you say you aren't a teacher at the academy? Can't you represent Nuoding Academy?"

"Xiao San, remember this: the person representing Nuoding Academy does not necessarily have to be one of its teachers. Ordinary academy teachers generally aren't qualified to represent the academy. They aren't qualified enough."

"Although I'm not a teacher at the academy, my status is far higher than theirs. Even the headmaster has to call me Master when he sees me."

Tang San suddenly understood. "I get it, I get it! Master, you must be an incredibly powerful soul master!"

Yu Xiaogang felt a little awkward.

"Taken as a whole, I can indeed be considered an incomparably powerful soul master."

"But I'm merely a passerby, like a cloud in the sky. I may leave at any time and depart from Nuoding Academy. Just call me Master, like everyone else does!"

"Tang San, you must understand that Master and teacher do not mean the same thing! Don't get them wrong in the future!"

Yu Xiaogang thought, I've practically spelled out that I won't be staying here long. Why aren't you being sensible and hurrying up to take me as your master?

Unfortunately, Tang San had been left somewhat dizzy by Yu Xiaogang's tongue-twister-like words. He had yet to react and merely stood there blankly.

Two sharp glints shot from Yu Xiaogang's eyes. "The possessor of Twin Martial Souls! The greatest genius on Douluo Continent!"

He extended an index finger from each hand, stretched both arms forward, and pointed simultaneously at Tang San's left and right hands.

Although Tang San was surprised by Yu Xiaogang's words, he was not overly excited. His Adoptive Mother had long told him that this man would not only refrain from harming him, but would also help him like a bootlicker, just like those people from the Tang Sect in his previous life.

Still, Yu Xiaogang's idiotic movements nearly made him laugh.

Yet he cooperatively put on an expression of utter disbelief.

"Master, how did you know? No one knows the secret of my Twin Martial Souls."

That slightly satisfied Yu Xiaogang's vanity.

"Are you wondering why I know you possess Twin Martial Souls?"

Tang San nodded like a pecking chick.

"It was this!"

Yu Xiaogang took out Tang San's Spirit Hall certificate and waved it in front of him!

Li Chen wandered aimlessly around the campus while watching the screen in his mind.

After a while, Li Chen waited until the classic scene, "Tang San Recognizes Father," before continuing to watch.

Tang San in the image had already been won over by Yu Xiaogang's talent.

Tang San suddenly retreated three steps, then dropped to his knees and respectfully kowtowed three times.

"Heaven above, earth below, with the two of us in between!"

"With heaven and earth as witnesses, today, I, Tang San, and you, Yu Xiaogang, shall become master and disciple!"

"Until mountains lose their ridges, heaven and earth unite, winter thunder rolls, and summer snow falls, I shall never part from you!"

At that moment, Tang San rose to his feet, placed one hand behind his back, extended the other forward, then bent at the waist and said in a magnetic voice:

"'Please, go out with me!'"

"Oh no! Wrong one."

"Please, become my teacher!"

This time, Yu Xiaogang's old face split into a grin like a bamboo shoot. One hand clasped Tang San's, and their hands gripped tightly together.

This was not merely the joining of hands, but a bridge between hearts.

Yu Xiaogang seemed to see an invincible being carving a path through every obstacle under his guidance, only to finally encounter an unbeatable existence and helplessly cry, "Master, save me!"

Then he transformed into the Golden Sacred Dragon, nine hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings pulsing behind him.

From afar, he mobilized his Soul Power and shouted, "Don't be afraid, my disciple! Your master is here!"

That existence, which even Tang San as a level-99 Peerless Douluo could not defeat, fled in terror at the sight of him.

"Hehehe, hehehe."

Just as Yu Xiaogang was fantasizing, Tang San inappropriately interrupted his daydream. "Teacher, you've been holding my hand for three minutes. My hand is getting sore."

"Good child, good child. Your teacher is simply too happy. Today, I gained such an excellent disciple. I have no children, so I will certainly teach you everything I have learned in my life!"

When Tang San heard that Yu Xiaogang had no children, his little eyes spun a few times.

He knew this plot!

Tang San immediately rushed forward and tightly hugged Yu Xiaogang's body, which had not been washed for three months. "Dad, you have no son. Although I already have a father, one day as teacher means a father for life."

Tang San released Yu Xiaogang, slowly fell to both knees, and wore a solemn expression on his little face. "If you do not reject me, I, San, am willing to take you as my Adoptive Father!"

This time, Yu Xiaogang was truly moved. Originally, he had intended to let Tang San cultivate Blue Silver Grass first before cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, but now he planned to reveal the genuine knowledge the system had taught him.

The reason he had not intended to teach Tang San anything real earlier was that he feared Tang San would surpass him. After all, martial soul quality was critically important to a soul master's cultivation.

His own martial soul was truly too embarrassing to mention.

As for there being no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters, he had merely been talking nonsense. Chicken soup was fine for a sip or two, but no one should take it seriously.

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly helped Tang San up. "Good child, good, good! As expected, I did not choose the wrong person. You can inherit this Master's legacy!"

"Have you obtained your Soul Ring yet?"

"Dad, San has not yet gone to obtain a Soul Ring. San does not know how to obtain one."

"Good, good, wonderful! Heaven is helping me! You have Twin Martial Souls, so remember: you must cultivate your Clear Sky Hammer Spirit first!"

Tang San was startled. This differed from what his biological father had said. Whom should he listen to? He hurriedly thought of his Adoptive Mother. His Adoptive Mother definitely would not harm him.

"Adoptive Mother, Adoptive Mother, who do you think I should believe?"

An aged voice rang out in Tang San's mind. "Listen to what Yu Xiaogang has to say first. After all, he is a professional. Your father is also a soul master, but he cannot possibly be more professional than Yu Xiaogang in theoretical matters."

"I also lean toward cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit first. Your father did not intend to harm you; he is simply ignorant as well. After all, no one in this world is omniscient and omnipotent!"

Tang San continued listening to Yu Xiaogang.

"Do you know what the most powerful existence in this world is?"

"A Titled Douluo!"

"No, no, no. You're not fashionable."

Yu Xiaogang raised both hands over his head, assuming a pose as though embracing the sky.

"The most powerful soul masters in the world are Gods!"

Then he lowered his head to look at little Tang San and continued, "A God's power cannot be borne by this Douluo Continent, so there are no Gods on Douluo Continent."

Tang San's gaze dimmed slightly. Yu Xiaogang took in that scene and secretly thought, Little thing, you're still too inexperienced. This Master merely dangled the bait a little, and you already can't take it?

Yu Xiaogang continued, "Although there are no Gods in this world, I know the method to become a God!"

Yu Xiaogang tightly gripped Tang San's shoulders. His eyes drew close to Tang San's, until their faces were only three centimeters apart.

As the saying went, the eyes were the windows to the soul. Yu Xiaogang wanted to see how steadfast Tang San's heart was in pursuing the path.

"Adoptive Mother, Adoptive Mother, is what he said true?"

"Yes. There are currently no Gods in this world, but there are indeed methods to become one. I know several of them, but you are still young. I'll tell you when you grow up. For now, listen to what Yu Xiaogang has to say."

"Tang San, you must understand that becoming a God depends on aptitude. Your Twin Martial Souls are indeed an advantage, but they are not enough to overpower all other geniuses.

"When Gods select their successors, they do not merely look at talent. They also pay attention to cultivation and combat strength!"

"According to what I know, when you cultivate to the Soul King stage, a God will assess you. If your combat strength is not strong enough then, do you think a God would choose you?"

"Talent that has not been turned into strength is garbage!"

"Geniuses who have not grown are garbage!"
