Yu Xiaogang's Disciples

"Teacher, I came to ask you a question!"

Hearing this voice, Bibi Dong quickly adjusted her emotions, using Soul Power to bring herself into peak condition before looking toward the source of the voice.

Over there, two girls were holding hands and hurrying toward them.

"Teacher!"

When the girl in front saw Bibi Dong, she waved at her with a smile, then directly pulled the girl behind her over to the two of them.

"Teacher, His Excellency Dragon God."

Upon arriving before Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang, the girl in front—Hu Liena—respectfully bowed to the two of them.

The girl being pulled along by Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, bowed just as respectfully.

"Your Excellency the Pope, Teacher."

Seeing how respectfully the two girls were behaving, Bibi Dong stepped forward first, grabbed Hu Liena's cheeks, and began kneading them.

"Didn't I already tell you? There's no need to act like this in front of your teacher."

After saying that, Bibi Dong reached out and rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head as well.

"You too!"

Although Zhu Zhuqing had long known that the seemingly imposing Pope was actually warm and kind in private,

she still found it difficult to adapt to being treated this way.

After all, Bibi Dong's status was simply too noble.

"Teacher, His Excellency Dragon God, you saw that Heavenly Screen too, right?"

"The entire Spirit City is in an uproar now. No one expected that something like parallel worlds could actually exist in this world."

"Especially the His Excellency Dragon God over there in the parallel world..."

At this point, Hu Liena's voice trailed off. She no longer knew how to continue.

"It doesn't matter. Just treat him as another person."

Yu Xiaogang spoke without a care.

"Oh, who would have thought that His Excellency Dragon God from another world would actually be like that?"

Hu Liena sighed, her face full of emotion. All of them had grown up listening to the legendary stories about Yu Xiaogang.

So when they suddenly saw a completely different version of His Excellency Dragon God, they simply couldn't believe it.

Could someone like that really be the counterpart of His Excellency Dragon God?

Zhu Zhuqing, standing to the side, strongly agreed with Hu Liena. Someone like that didn't deserve to share the same name as her teacher.

"All right. Just treat what the Heavenly Screen showed as a story."

"By the way, Nana, how has your cultivation been lately? Have you been slacking off?"

Bibi Dong put on a stern face, trying to appear imposing. Unfortunately, everyone present knew what she was really like.

Hu Liena, for example, was still wearing that cheeky grin.

"How could I possibly slack off? Teacher, you know me. I work the hardest!"

Hu Liena clenched her fist and looked at Bibi Dong.

"Work the hardest? Tang San and Zhuqing have always worked the hardest. Do you think I don't know that?"

Bibi Dong glanced at Hu Liena and spoke irritably.

At the mention of Tang San's name, Hu Liena was immediately rendered speechless. She subconsciously glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside Yu Xiaogang.

She discovered that every disciple of His Excellency Dragon God was the exceptionally hardworking type.

Tang San was like that, and so was Zhu Zhuqing.

Hu Liena could understand them, though.

As a member of the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire, if Zhu Zhuqing had not been accepted as His Excellency Dragon God's disciple, she would have been forced to participate in the struggle among the Star Luo princes alongside that Dai Mubai.

After finally gaining a chance to change her fate, she naturally had to seize it as firmly as possible.

Even now, Hu Liena still remembered what Zhu Zhuqing had said the first time they met:

"I want to become stronger, then use my own strength to personally make the Star Luo Empire's imperial family understand that their princes can kill one another if they want. That's their own business. Even if they all die, it doesn't matter."

"But don't drag anyone else into it!"

After that came her frenzied cultivation. The intensity of her efforts left even Hu Liena speechless.

As for the other disciple, Tang San, Hu Liena didn't know much about his circumstances.

But she had heard that his father had schemed against his mother, causing his mother to nearly lose her life.

Because of that, he had to work hard to become stronger and seek justice for his mother.

In any case, every disciple of His Excellency Dragon God possessed a firm goal. That was why they could work so hard.

As for herself, she had no particular goal, and her teacher had never been able to remain strict with her.

As a result, she wasn't nearly as diligent in her cultivation.

Even so, under her teacher's guidance, His Excellency Dragon God would occasionally fill in as her teacher as well.

That meant that even without working quite as hard, her strength still continued to soar.

"Aiya, Teacher~ Don't be so strict. Your disciple is already far stronger than her peers. Relaxing a little won't hurt."

Hu Liena hugged Bibi Dong's arm and shook it while acting spoiled.

"You..."

Bibi Dong tapped Hu Liena on the head with a finger, then finally sighed.

Forget it. Relaxing a little won't hurt. In any case, I'm here if anything happens.

Even if things get worse, I still have my husband. With him around, there's nothing in the Douluo Continent that can't be resolved.

On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing's exchange with Yu Xiaogang was much more serious.

Zhu Zhuqing pursued strength, so Yu Xiaogang was also stricter with her.

"How is it? After changing the traditional logic of how Agility Attack System Martial Souls obtain Spirit Rings in the Douluo Continent, can you still adapt to this fighting style?"

Yu Xiaogang asked.

"I'm still a little unaccustomed to it."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.

"But I can sense that obtaining Spirit Rings according to this principle of pursuing a single fatal strike is the path Agility Attack System soul masters should truly take."

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze toward Yu Xiaogang was filled with admiration.

After all, the man before her was the most legendary Titled Douluo in the Douluo Continent today.

Along the way, Yu Xiaogang had shattered the understanding of countless people.

Take her own Spirit Ring configuration, for example. It was only after becoming Yu Xiaogang's disciple that Zhu Zhuqing learned that an Agility Attack System soul master could configure Spirit Rings this way.

Moving through the shadows to search for an opening, delivering a fatal strike the instant one appeared, then retreating and searching for another opportunity before attacking again—

only a soul master like that could truly be called an Agility Attack System soul master.

What did the old configuration count as? It merely increased speed, allowing one to move a little faster in battle. How could that be considered an Agility Attack System soul master?

"Familiarize yourself with it properly. Once this configuration matures, the Douluo Continent will learn what a true Agility Attack System soul master is."

Yu Xiaogang patted Zhu Zhuqing on the shoulder, then turned and walked toward Little Dragon.

Watching Yu Xiaogang's departing back and feeling the spot on her shoulder where he had patted her, Zhu Zhuqing made no attempt to hide the admiration in her eyes.

She glanced unobtrusively at Bibi Dong, and deep envy passed through her heart.

They were both men, so why did some people possess such excellent talent yet still abandon their fiancées and flee the whirlpool of conflict out of fear of death?

While others had poor talent, yet could defy fate and change their destiny.

They were all human, but the difference between them was simply too great.

"Fortunately, I met Teacher and was accepted as her disciple."

Zhu Zhuqing felt immensely fortunate.

If she had not become her teacher's disciple, she truly didn't know what mindset she could have used to face the man who had once abandoned her.
