Grandmaster Came Under Fierce Criticism

Clear Sky Sect.

"He actually lost!" Tang Hao wore an incredulous expression. "He was clearly reincarnated with memories of his past life, yet he lost to a little girl. He, he, he..."

Sure enough, it had been right not to acknowledge him as his son.

His son would never be as useless as that Tang San on the Sky Screen!

"Brother Hao, don't be so strict. He's still a child," Tang Xiao consoled him.

"Hmph, whatever he does has nothing to do with me!" Tang Hao snorted coldly.

Tang Xiao merely smiled and said nothing more.

If it truly had nothing to do with you, you would not even be watching the Sky Screen.

Who would have thought my younger brother was such a tsundere?

Tang Xiao raised his head and watched the Sky Screen.

Tang San lost to Xiaowu and became the Seventh Dormitory's shortest-serving leader in history.

The newly appointed leader of the Seventh Dormitory made a round of inspection, then began worrying about what to do without a blanket that night.

Working students had to prepare their own blankets.

Xiaowu was already having a headache over it.

Grandmaster sent someone to deliver a blanket to Tang San.

That was the benefit of taking a teacher.

Tang San had someone backing him at Nuoding Academy. Though he could not swagger about like a crab, he was no longer drifting like a rootless duckweed.

When Xiaowu saw Tang San's blanket, her eyes lit up. Using her authority as the leader of the Seventh Dormitory, she forced Tang San to share a blanket with her.

Although Tang San wanted to refuse, he ultimately compromised.

Star Dou Great Forest.

When Xiao Wu saw that Tang San had not refused Xiaowu and had even pushed their beds together so they could sleep under the same blanket at night, this old father immediately flew into a rage!

It was like seeing some blond punk riding a ghost-fire motorcycle, calling him an old man right to his face before taking off with his daughter.

"That Tang San is shameless! How old is he, and he still dares sleep under the same blanket as Xiaowu? Don't let me run into him, or I'll beat him to death!" Xiao Wu roared furiously.

"Enough. This is the future, decades from now. Now that the Sky Screen has shown it, that future will not happen again. As long as we stay by Xiaowu's side, she will not be bullied," Ah Rou said gently.

When she saw Xiaowu running alone to Nuoding Academy, she had roughly guessed what had happened—perhaps both she and Xiao Wu were gone.

Only if both of them were gone would Xiaowu boldly run alone to a human Soul Master Academy without anyone to teach her.

The teachers at an elementary Soul Master Academy were not strong enough, and indeed no Soul Master could see through Xiaowu's true form. But what about the academies afterward?

There would always be powerful Soul Masters who could discover Xiaowu's true form. What would Xiaowu do then?

Would she simply wait to die?

Ah Rou did not even dare imagine what Xiaowu's situation would be like then.

All she hoped for now was to change the future.

First, she had to stop her husband Xiao Wu from throwing his life away. As long as he survived and she remained alive, their child Xiaowu would naturally not encounter danger under their protection.

Even if she did encounter danger, the two of them would still be there.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were comparable to Title Douluo.

Though the two of them had taken human form, they had also cultivated to the level of Title Douluo.

"Sigh, it seems I can only give up on challenging the core region." Xiao Wu sighed. For his daughter's future, he could only abandon the challenge.

At dinnertime, led by the older student Wang Sheng, Tang San and Xiaowu arrived at the dining hall.

Xiaowu was astonished by how large the dining hall was.

Wang Sheng gave a brief introduction, saying the dining hall was so large in order to accommodate more than three hundred students and teachers.

The working students arriving at the dining hall together drew the attention of the students who had paid tuition to enroll, especially the city lord's son and his lackeys.

From the second floor, the city lord's son mocked the working students for not being able to afford the food upstairs.

Xiaowu was furious and wanted to go up and teach the city lord's son a lesson, but Tang San stopped her.

It was not that Tang San had become more mild-tempered. He simply wanted to give the city lord's son one more chance.

If he offended them again, Tang San would not show mercy.

Grandmaster arrived at the dining hall at that moment, intending to invite Tang San to eat on the second floor.

But after seeing Xiaowu and the others, Tang San gave up on accompanying Grandmaster upstairs and chose to eat with them instead.

Grandmaster did not object. He merely told Tang San to wait for him at the dining hall entrance after he finished eating.

Tang San agreed, then ran off to have lunch with Xiaowu and the others.

After lunch, Tang San followed Grandmaster to his office.

Grandmaster handed Tang San the extra food he had bought.

Tang San was deeply moved.

In this life, apart from Old Jack, Grandmaster was the only person who had treated him so well.

He wolfed down the food Grandmaster had given him and, unsurprisingly, choked on it. He hurriedly picked up a teacup, poured himself some water, and drank it.

After seeing that Tang San had finished eating, Grandmaster told him to summon his other martial soul.

Tang San did as Grandmaster instructed.

He summoned his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

When Grandmaster saw that Tang San's other martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, his eyes widened at once, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

He made Tang San swear that, without his permission, he would not add a single soul ring to his second martial soul, nor let anyone see it.

Although Tang San wondered why both Grandmaster and his father had made the same demand, he was a good child who respected his teachers and elders.

Since he did not understand, he would do as his teacher and father said. Once the time came for him to know, whether it was his father or his teacher, they would tell him.

Grandmaster planned to take Tang San tomorrow to add a soul ring to his first martial soul, Blue Silver Grass.

Before setting out, he tested Tang San.

Tang San, who had not yet enrolled to receive an education, stated his own views.

Grandmaster did not think much of them, but he did not criticize him either.

For an illiterate child who had not enrolled in school, being able to understand this much was already impressive.

Grandmaster then introduced Tang San to the basic knowledge of martial souls. Beginning with the classification of martial souls, he mentioned the difference between Tool Soul Masters and Battle Soul Masters, before finally discussing the advantages of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

He even arranged a development path for Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

He wanted a genius whose Blue Silver Grass martial soul possessed Innate Full Soul Power to follow the path of a Control System Soul Master, using soul rings to strengthen the toughness of Blue Silver Grass and even adding a Poison Attribute to it!

Tang San, this little illiterate who knew nothing about martial souls, naturally believed Grandmaster's arrangements.

Spirit Hall.

When the martial soul researchers saw the development path Grandmaster had arranged on the Sky Screen for Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul with Innate Full Soul Power, every one of them was so angry that their beards bristled and their eyes bulged.

"A Blue Silver Grass martial soul with Innate Full Soul Power should become a Support System Soul Master, not follow the Control System path!"

"And adding a Poison Attribute would ruin the greatest advantage of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul!"

"What invincible theorist Grandmaster? Those students and teachers on the Sky Screen were right. He's just a fraudulent Grandmaster who chases fame!"

It was not only the martial soul researchers of Spirit Hall. Martial soul researchers from other factions also sneered at Grandmaster's arrangements.

Blue Silver Village.

When Ah Yin saw the development path Grandmaster had arranged for Tang San, she immediately frowned.

"This Grandmaster's arrangement is far too harmful. If he adds soul rings like that, he will never awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in this lifetime. That martial soul will be ruined!"

Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor who had taken human form.

She herself already had corresponding plans for her future.

She would not follow the path of a Control System Soul Master, but the path of a Support System Soul Master, unlocking healing abilities.

Blue Silver Grass itself possessed tremendous vitality.

Wildfires could not burn it all away; when the spring breeze blew, it would grow again.

Blue Silver Grass could be found everywhere on Douluo Continent, but the largest concentration was in Blue Silver Forest, which was also Ah Yin's hometown.

She had grown into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in Blue Silver Forest.

But she could not survive the hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation. To avoid being struck to death by it, and to go even further, she had no choice but to take human form.
