After dropping Tang San off at the Academic Affairs Office, Yu Xiaogang couldn't wait to return to his dormitory and begin examining his system panel.

[Apprentice: Tang San]

[Entries: Mysterious Heaven Skill, Mysterious Jade Hand, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Purple Demon Eye, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Hundred Interpretations of Hidden Weapons, Twin Martial Souls]

"These entries are simply absurd!"

Recalling his personal panel and the final comment the system had given him, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But as soon as he thought about these entries appearing in the system, his mood suddenly became excited again.

He raised his right index finger and tapped on the first entry on the panel, "Mysterious Heaven Skill." A crisp system prompt sounded immediately after.

[Selected entry "Mysterious Heaven Skill," converted into skill progress.]

The next moment, a flood of memories began to pour into Yu Xiaogang's mind. Once the memories were fully received, he had mastered the entire cultivation method for the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Opening his personal panel, Yu Xiaogang discovered that a new field had indeed appeared.

[Skill: Mysterious Heaven Skill Level 1 (0%)]

"It seems that while a pie did fall from the sky, it wasn't fed directly into my mouth. If I want to become stronger, I still have to cultivate it myself."

Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment, then proceeded to select the three entries: "Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track," "Purple Demon Eye," and "Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon."

The reason he didn't select them all was that a Spirit Master's cultivation time is limited. Trying to learn every single one of the Tang Sect's Secret Arts was clearly unrealistic, so he had to make trade-offs.

Among the four secret arts chosen, Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eye were used to cultivate spirit power and mental power respectively, while Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon were used to improve combat ability. This was the best choice he could make after balancing the time cost.

"The minor details are all settled; what comes next is the main event."

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, then tapped on the final entry on the panel: "Twin Martial Souls."

For the past forty-plus years, his martial soul aptitude had become something of a nightmare for Yu Xiaogang, and it was the most critical factor restricting his development.

Otherwise, given Yu Xiaogang's background, he could have easily obtained both cultivation techniques and resources. It was only his abysmal martial soul aptitude that had blocked his path of cultivation right from the start.

[Selected entry "Twin Martial Souls," unlocking corresponding mission: Master the characteristics of 10,000 martial souls.]

"Ten thousand martial souls, huh..."

Yu Xiaogang's expression didn't change much as he began to recall his knowledge regarding martial souls.

[Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon: Top-tier assault-type beast martial soul, possessing both lightning and annihilation characteristics. Starting from level 30, for every spirit ring obtained, a part of the Spirit Master's body (such as dragon claws or dragon wings) undergoes dragon transformation, granting an additional Dragon Transformation Soul Skill. Upon reaching level 70 and activating the Martial Soul True Body, the user can fully transform into a dragon, resulting in a qualitative leap in strength.]

As he recalled the information, the system panel displayed the corresponding martial soul data as well.

Seeing the panel react, Yu Xiaogang proactively stopped. After all, the mission required 10,000 martial souls; even with his confidence in his own knowledge, it wasn't something he could complete in a short amount of time.

Yu Xiaogang opened the cabinet in his room, took out a set of bedding, and intended to deliver it to Tang San.

However, just as he stepped out of his dormitory, he bumped into a man in his thirties.

Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang, the man asked with a respectful expression, "Master, where are you headed?"

Yu Xiaogang was clearly surprised to hear someone address him as Master. After thinking for a moment, he understood the reason.

This man was named Mo Hen. He had once consulted him regarding cultivation issues, and as a result, he had come to acknowledge his status as a Master in his heart.

"Oh, it's Teacher Mo Hen. I've prepared a set of bedding and was planning to take it to my disciple."

"Leave it to me. I happen to be heading to the dormitory building to notify the students anyway."

In order to complete his tasks as early as possible, Yu Xiaogang thanked him and chose to hand the bedding over to Mo Hen.

Then, taking advantage of the time before lunch, he continued to grind away at his task progress.

Inside the work-study dormitory, after a fierce competition, Xiao Wu defeated Tang San and became the new dormitory boss. Afterward, she snatched the bedding that the Master had given to Tang San.

From this point on, the seeds of being henpecked were thoroughly planted in the depths of Tang San's reserved heart.

In the cafeteria, Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San and his group the moment he walked through the door.

Because they were all work-study students, the clothing on these children was noticeably inferior to those around them. However, one little girl wearing a pink dress with a scorpion braid at the back of her head stood out in particular.

A hundred-thousand-year-old little loli—it's truly terrifying when you think about it.

Yu Xiaogang muttered silently in his heart, and then he saw Tang San walking toward him.

The two conversed for a while. After Tang San declined his invitation, Yu Xiaogang did not insist and instead headed toward the second floor alone.

The second floor of the cafeteria was a place for private dining. Following his memories, Yu Xiaogang walked into a private room at the very end.

Dishes had already been ordered on the dining table, and sitting nearby was a middle-aged man wearing a long robe. He was handsome, with a slightly protruding chin.

When he saw Yu Xiaogang, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Sit down quickly, I've been waiting for a long time."

Yu Xiaogang sat down to the side with a smile, while the man's information surfaced in his mind.

Klay, Dean of the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, a level 41 Soul Ancestor with the Blazing Fire Blade martial soul. In his early years at the Martial Soul Hall, he had studied alongside him, and they had become close friends.

Klay poured a cup of rice wine for each of them and then spoke, "I heard you took on a disciple? Innate Full Soul Power, and his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass?"

"That's right, his name is Tang San."

Yu Xiaogang picked up his chopsticks, plucked a piece of fish, and put it into his mouth. He then took a sip of the rice wine, immediately feeling refreshed throughout his entire body.

Klay hesitated for a moment, then added, "Don't blame me for being meddlesome, but instead of putting yourself through all this, why not go back and apologize to the old man? There's nothing between a father and son that can't be resolved."

Yu Xiaogang felt there was some truth to those words. The Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan possessed immense power; if he could restore his status within the clan, it would certainly provide a significant boost. But as things stood now...

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said, "I do intend to go back, but not yet. I must prove my Martial Soul theories first."

"Prove it with what? That new disciple of yours? The one named Tang..." Klay struggled to recall the name for a moment.

Daring to forget the name of me, the God King Tang? You have already invited your own death!

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but tease internally, "His name is Tang San. Just watch; I will use my theories to push him to the pinnacle of the Soul Master World!"

Klay sighed and said nothing more. The two continued to eat and drink, and it was half an hour later before they walked out of the private room.

Arriving at the entrance of the cafeteria, Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San waiting to the side.

Klay gave Tang San a few measuring glances before departing on his own, and Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San back to the dormitory.

After handing the wrapped chicken leg and egg to Tang San, Yu Xiaogang began to explain the fundamental knowledge of Martial Souls and mapped out a future cultivation path for Tang San.

By evening, after agreeing to head to the Soul Hunting Forest the next day to obtain his first Soul Ring, Yu Xiaogang finally sent his prized disciple away.

Immediately afterward, he began scouring his mind for Martial Soul knowledge, grinding away at his task progress.

When the moon reached its zenith and the teachers and students of the academy had long since fallen into a deep sleep, Yu Xiaogang finally finished the progress for ten thousand types of Martial Souls.

[Task completed. Second Martial Soul beginning to awaken.]

A warm force began to envelop Yu Xiaogang's body. His bloodline began to activate, and a nascent power surged forth from within him.

He then raised his left hand, and a dragon soul radiating blue light flew out from his palm, swimming through the air with remarkable spirit.

Seeing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face. The Martial Soul before him was none other than the one known as the Number One Beast Martial Soul Under Heaven: the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon!
