Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang felt a chill run down his spine. Cold sweat had long since soaked the clothes on his back.

So... he had survived back then purely because he spoke quickly?

And the way the surrounding audience looked at Tang San had completely changed.

There was no longer envy for a genius, nor sympathy for a loser. Instead, they looked at him as if he were a venomous snake that could bite back at any moment!

"Too terrifying. Someone like this... who would dare become his teacher?

Who would dare be his friend?"

"He wants to kill people at the slightest disagreement, and he's only six years old. This temperament is practically that of a born demon!"

Everyone present shuddered at Tang San's character.

Upon hearing everyone discussing him, Tang San's vision went black, and he fainted again.

In the Real World, Tang Shan watched the Heavenly Screen and nearly burst out laughing.

Yu Xiaogang had managed to fool Tang San.

It had been purely dumb luck.

The entire process had been wrong, yet the result had somehow been right.

The reason Tang San possessed Innate Full Soul Power

was because he had the Mysterious Heaven Skill. He had cultivated for four years before reaching level 10.

At its core, Tang San's talent relied on the Mysterious Heaven Skill, not some so-called "Innate Full Soul Power."

For Yu Xiaogang to use the Martial Soul theory he had plagiarized from Spirit Hall to fool Tang San meant that his luck had truly been exceptional.

This could be considered a turning point in Yu Xiaogang's life.

If he had not taken Tang San as his disciple,

Yu Xiaogang would probably have remained at Nuoding Academy forever.

If things had followed the original plot,

Yu Xiaogang would later have received the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma from Tang San, broken through the level 30 Soul Power barrier, and even eventually cultivated into a Titled Douluo!

(This seemed to be either a later setting or something Tang Jia San Shao had said himself.)

Yet the Heavenly Screen had appeared at the crucial point of the Elite Tournament.

With the two compared side by side, Tang San's Soul Power plummeted.

Tang San's hidden past, piece by piece, had also been exposed to the entire world.

"Come to think of it, Yu Xiaogang in this world seems to be doing pretty well?"

Tang Shan blinked as he recalled this.

After Tang Shan transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, he had been brought back to the Clear Sky Sect.

His days had been exceedingly comfortable.

For a time, he had actually forgotten about Yu Xiaogang in Nuoding City.

Tang Shan had later sent people to inquire about Yu Xiaogang.

Because Tang Shan had not gone to Nuoding Academy,

Yu Xiaogang had watched himself grow older without finding a single successor to carry forward his Martial Soul theory.

He had actually tricked Xiao Wu into becoming his disciple.

Then he had brought Xiao Wu to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt for a Spirit Ring.

The result was—

Xiao Wu had not wanted to come in the first place. By then, she had already condensed her First Soul Ring. She had even regretted taking Yu Xiaogang as her teacher.

After encountering the Mandala Snake,

Xiao Wu had been unable to defeat it.

She waited until Yu Xiaogang fainted, then drove the Mandala Snake away.

But Yu Xiaogang had been poisoned, and Xiao Wu did not know how to treat him.

She could only choose to carry Yu Xiaogang out of the Soul Hunting Forest the next day.

The consequence of not receiving treatment in time was that Yu Xiaogang became paralyzed on one side.

Yu Xiaogang, who had already been incredibly useless, was now completely crippled.

After that, Yu Xiaogang remained at Nuoding Academy for six years.

Every day, he relied on Luo San Pao to feed him, barely clinging to life.

It was only after Xiao Wu later went to Shrek Academy on Yu Xiaogang's suggestion

that Flender learned Yu Xiaogang had been hemiplegic for six years.

Afterward, with Flender and Liu Erlong's help, he persisted with treatment.

Only recently had he barely managed to walk again.

At that thought, Tang Shan's lips curled wildly upward.

He secretly thought:

"I wonder what Yu Xiaogang will think when he sees this Heavenly Screen?"

Although the killing intent in Tang San's eyes had faded, that cold, calculating gleam had not disappeared.

Tang San rapidly weighed the pros and cons in his heart:

"Though this man's Soul Power is weak, his theoretical knowledge does seem to have some merit.

I currently know almost nothing about this world, and the Mysterious Heaven Skill's bottleneck also requires a Spirit Ring to break through.

Since he has seen that I possess Twin Martial Souls, I may as well go along with it and use his knowledge to arm myself."

"If I later discover that he is all talk, or that he means me harm... it won't be too late to kill him then."

Having made up his mind, Tang San's expression instantly changed, becoming respectful and sincere.

Tang San stepped back, dropped to both knees, and heavily kowtowed three times to Yu Xiaogang:

"Teacher, please accept this disciple's bow!"

His face-changing act was so swift that it could rival a master of Sichuan opera, leaving the Real World audience dumbfounded.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Yu Xiaogang had clearly been dazzled by this sudden happiness and had no idea he had just walked through the gates of hell.

He hurriedly helped Tang San up, his face full of gratification as he felt that he had finally found an unparalleled genius who could prove his theories.

"Since you have taken me as your teacher, I cannot treat you poorly."

Yu Xiaogang searched himself for quite a while before finally pulling something from his robes...

[Dry, hard cold bun]

"Here, you haven't eaten yet, have you?

This is the breakfast your teacher saved for you. You're at the age where you're growing, so hurry and eat."

Yu Xiaogang handed the cold bun, which had even turned somewhat yellow, to Tang San.

Then, in order to maintain the bearing of an expert, Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back and abruptly turned around.

With his back to Tang San, he looked out the window and began to speak solemnly about the future:

"Xiao San, since you possess Twin Martial Souls, your future is destined to be limitless.

As your teacher, I will certainly create the most perfect cultivation plan for you and let you stand at the peak of the Douluo Continent..."

However, while Yu Xiaogang stood with his back to his disciple, immersed in his self-satisfied speech,

Tang San, who was indeed starving from the journey and did not wish to slight the teacher he had just acknowledged,

grabbed that stone-hard cold bun and took a huge bite.

The result—

"Urgh—!!!"

Tang San's face instantly turned Pig Liver Color!

That mouthful of dry bun was lodged firmly in his throat, unable to go up or down!

Tang San gripped his own neck tightly with both hands, his eyes bulging and his mouth wide open as he made choking "hehe" sounds.

Tang San desperately tried to pound his chest, but his limbs had gone weak from lack of oxygen.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang in front of him still had his back turned and continued talking without pause:

"...First, we must go to the Soul Hunting Forest and obtain your First Soul Ring. As for the direction of your Martial Soul's development, I have several ideas..."

Behind him, Tang San had already begun rolling his eyes. His legs kicked wildly as he was about to die on the spot because of a bun!

[Original World · Audience Seats]

"Pwahahahahahaha!!!"

The originally oppressive, heavy atmosphere was instantly shattered by this ridiculous scene, and thunderous laughter erupted throughout the crowd.

Feng Xiaotian laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh:

"Oh, I can't take it anymore!

Is this Tang San's ceremony for becoming a disciple?

He nearly got sent off by a bun?"

Huo Wu also laughed until she shook:

"Yu Xiaogang is unbelievable too. He fed his disciple something like that, then turned his back to put on an expert act.

His disciple was practically choking to death, yet he was still standing there making empty promises!"
