Before Tang Qinghe even spoke, Yu Xiaogang had already figured out how to swindle the other party.

This was his specialty.

Compared to those naive little brats who had just entered the Spirit Body Rank, this was a piece of cake.

However, this kid named Tang Qinghe was truly a thorn in his side.

He actually dared to question him to Tang San's face, and as a piece of trash with only three levels of innate Spirit Power, he dared to doubt him, a twenty-ninth-level Great Spirit Master, to his face!

[Yu Xiaogang resentment +100]

[Yu Xiaogang favorability -10, congratulations to the host for obtaining one lucky draw chance.]

Sure enough, it's still a brat, a good person indeed... Tang Qinghe curled his lips, but on the surface, he remained calm.

"Your cultivation is far too weak. If I were your master, there would be no one to hunt Spirit Essences for me. Even if you were willing to let me hunt them, you definitely couldn't beat those Spirit Beasts. Tang San, you shouldn't treat your own life as a game. Besides, I actually saw this guy lurking near the school gate a long time ago. He saw me enter the office and didn't come out to stop me; instead, he waited until you, with your full innate Spirit Power, came out. This whole thing was premeditated, just to trick you, a genius with full innate Spirit Power, into taking him as your master. I heard from my elders that in the Spirit Master world, a person can only take one person as their master in their lifetime, otherwise, they will be shunned by the Spirit Master world. Tang San, you must not trust him; he is most likely a swindler."

"You..." Yu Xiaogang was stunned. He seemed not to have expected that such a mediocre-looking fool would be so sharp, and his face shifted through several colors.

[Yu Xiaogang resentment +888]

[Yu Xiaogang resentment +8888]

[Yu Xiaogang resentment +18888]

[Yu Xiaogang favorability -40, congratulations to the host for obtaining 4 lucky draw chances.]

Thanks for the rocket sent by the brat, you kind soul... Tang Qinghe looked at Yu Xiaogang's furious, distorted old face and felt joy in his heart, but he didn't forget to twist the knife.

"One last point, and it's the most important one. You just said you were only staying here for a few days, which proves you haven't taught a single student. Why don't you teach the many students at the academy, but instead want to teach Tang San? Because he has full innate Spirit Power, while others are not as talented as him. A true master should be able to teach an ordinary person to become a genius, not specifically seek out geniuses to teach. This shows that your teaching level is not high, and it might even be said to be very poor."

After saying this, Tang Qinghe turned his head to look at Tang San, looking extremely righteous, "Tang San, you must never be his little lab rat. He has no teaching experience or level to teach you; he is just playing with your life. Just to satisfy his own selfish and inferior vanity."

[Yu Xiaogang resentment +28888]

[Yu Xiaogang resentment +48888]

[Yu Xiaogang favorability -50, congratulations to the host for obtaining 5 lucky draw chances.]

[Ding! Yu Xiaogang's favorability has reached the lower limit of -100, please pay attention to your personal safety, host.]

If it were any other Great Spirit Master, reaching -100 favorability would naturally put me in danger, but this guy only knows how to bully the weak and act soft toward the strong... In the Nuoding Academy, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on a student, he wouldn't even dare to do it if he had ten guts. Besides, he's doing it right in front of Tang San, unless he doesn't want to take Tang San as his disciple anymore.

Tang Qinghe sneered in his heart and walked away without looking back. As for Tang San, whether he was still willing to take him as his master was none of his business.

He only needed to take care of himself.

Of course, to a certain extent, he hoped Tang San wouldn't take Yu Xiaogang as his master.

Without him, the flawed theories Yu Xiaogang spouted could slow down Tang San's cultivation speed.

However, after hearing these words, as long as Tang San wasn't a fool, it wouldn't be so easy to take him as a master.

In reality, it was just as he had predicted.

At this moment, after hearing Tang Qinghe's words, Tang San's favorability toward Yu Xiaogang had already dropped to zero, and the look he cast toward him became vigilant.

Even at this moment, if his Spirit Proof wasn't in the other party's hands, he would have already run away like Tang Qinghe.

[Yu Xiaogang resentment +88888]

Yu Xiaogang was trembling, his heart both angry and anxious.

However, he had heard enough ridicule and mockery from others over the years, so he didn't show it. He turned to Tang San, acting as if he were just a child being naughty and he wouldn't hold it against him, saying:

"This child's imagination is really too rich... Then what about you? Do you also think you shouldn't take me as your master?"

Tang San was what you might call smart, but he wasn't a fool. Hearing this, his subconscious reaction was to first get back his Spirit Proof, and then find a reason to refuse.

But Yu Xiaogang's next words, like a blind cat finding a dead mouse, made him greatly surprised, "Good, you really are a smart child, gifted, and so cautious. It seems I have to reveal a little bit, no matter what, you are the first twin Spirit in a hundred years."

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San was greatly surprised. The look he cast toward Yu Xiaogang softened, and his left hand, hidden inside his sleeve, quietly relaxed, his posture ready to strike.

Yu Xiaogang didn't know that his life had been hanging by a thread in Tang San's mind just now. He smiled confidently, a flash of wisdom passing through his eyes, "Are you very curious about why I know? It's very simple, because of your Spirit Proof."

After saying this, he pointed at Tang San's Spirit Proof, "I have already investigated the six hundred and forty-seven people whose Spirit is Blue Silver Grass. Among them, only sixteen have Spirit Power, and none of those sixteen have innate Spirit Power exceeding level one. But you have full innate Spirit Power. According to my Ten Core Competencies of Spirits, the stronger the innate Spirit Power, the stronger the Spirit. If it's the opposite, then it proves you have another more powerful Spirit. This is twin spirits..."

Tang San had just entered the Spirit Master world and didn't even fully understand what a Spirit was, let alone know that his full innate Spirit Power was achieved by practicing the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

He was swindled immediately.

The result was the same as the original.

He plopped down, knelt, and said one "I will serve you as my master for the rest of my life."

Yu Xiaogang was grinning from ear to ear. The previous resentment had been swept away.

After taking him as his disciple, Tang San thought back to how he had actually believed Tang Qinghe's nonsense, and felt ashamed in his heart. He said to Yu Xiaogang, "Master, I'm sorry, I just misunderstood you. And that Tang Qinghe, I will definitely make him clarify things to you."

Mentioning Tang Qinghe, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened instantly.

That kid was truly too sharp, actually seeing through his intentions so clearly.

He couldn't be swindled at all.

Not to mention that Tang Qinghe was just a piece of trash with three levels of innate Spirit Power.

Wait until Tang San grows up in the future and makes a name for him. He would definitely slap Tang Qinghe in the face hard, making him regret what he did today.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang felt much better. He waved his hand, showing an indifferent look, "Forget it, he's just a child, no need to argue with him about anything."

Tang San nodded, feeling that Yu Xiaogang was open-minded, truly worthy of being a master, and a person who could hold a boat in his belly.
