Ye Ying Asks Yu Xiaogang to Be His Disciple, "I'll Teach You"

Just as Yu Xiaogang finished making all the preparations, he thought of something, he had never forgotten the idea he had always held, to take Ye Ying as his disciple, and now was the perfect opportunity, to use the contrast between Tang San and Ye Ying's current situations, to let Ye Ying know just how formidable he was as a teacher.

Yu Xiaogang directly brought Tang San to the Seventh Dorm to find Ye Ying.

It was currently vacation, and Ye Ying was the only one in the dorm, idly sipping milk tea.

Other than when he was asleep, there was never a time when Ye Ying was not drinking it.

His own attributes had improved across the board.

Attack, defense, strength, agility, reaction, soul power, all-element resistance...

Ice attribute, poison resistance, spiritual power, physical strength, vitality, duration of firmness...

"Ye Ying, two years have passed,"

"Have you considered taking me as your teacher?"

"Under my guidance, Tang San's soul power has already reached Level 20."

"Tomorrow, I'll take her to hunt for her Second Soul Ring."

"You both possess Innate Full Soul Power, but because you were taught by different people, the gap between you is already extremely obvious."

Yu Xiaogang spoke very calmly, but the corners of his stiff mouth could not help but rise, so much so that even an AK would have struggled to keep them down.

Yet at that moment, the Blue Silver Weasel had an ominous feeling, the strength of a transmigrator was impossible to gauge—the stronger they were, the stronger they became, just because he had not said anything did not mean he had not made a breakthrough, Xiaogang, you're about to get slapped in the face.

Ye Ying chuckled.

"Grandmaster, how do you know my soul power is also at Level 20?"

The corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth, which he had been utterly unable to suppress, instantly dropped.

"You're Level 20 too!"

Ye Ying nodded.

Yu Xiaogang could only force himself to find some advantage.

"You don't have a teacher, so you probably haven't found a way to obtain your Second Soul Ring yet, right?"

"Although you're Level 20, without a Second Soul Ring, your Soul Power Level cannot continue to rise."

Although Ye Ying had said his soul power was Level 20, his actual soul power had already reached Level 24.

Even without absorbing a soul ring, he could still raise his Soul Power Level.

Yu Xiaogang immediately began smiling again, though his face still retained that same stiff expression.

"Ye Ying, if you become my disciple, then tomorrow I'll also help you hunt down a good soul ring while we're at it."

"How about it?"

At that moment, a voice came from outside the door.

The one speaking was Sigma, the principal of Notting Academy.

"Xiaogang, I forgot to tell you,"

"Tomorrow, I'll be taking Ye Ying along with me to obtain his Second Soul Ring,"

"Just so happens that the two of them can go together."

Ye Ying had told the principal two days earlier that he had obtained his Second Soul Ring, because he had seen from the system's plot information that Tang San was about to break through, so he had informed the principal in advance. When the time came, they could go together, and he could obtain rewards by tricking Tang San.

Ye Ying was Notting Academy's genius student; his first soul ring had already been a thousand-year one, There was no way they could refuse.

No one knew how many intermediate academies had wanted to reserve students in advance, only to be turned down by Ye Ying.

He was practically Notting Academy's brightest calling card. Whenever the headmaster exchanged ideas with the principals of junior academies from other cities, his face would be glowing with pride.

The smile at the corners of his mouth simply could not be suppressed.

Upon hearing Sigma's words, the smile on Yu Xiaogang's face instantly froze again.

"Fine."

"Wasn't I just telling Ye Ying that I'd take him to obtain a Soul Ring?"

Sigma walked in from outside.

"You were just saying that?"

"Then I really did act unnecessarily."

"Alright, I'll make preparations first. We'll set off tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Sigma left directly.

Blue Silver Weasel rolled her eyes at Yu Xiaogang.

What a useless fool who ruined everything.

"Ye Ying, although someone can help you hunt your Second Soul Ring,"

"without anyone to guide you, it will be a great loss to your future,"

"Especially since a Soul Master's second Soul Ring is the most important. You still have a chance to correct things,"

"If you take me as your master, I can teach you."

Yu Xiaogang sincerely wanted Ye Ying to become his disciple.

He was already this capable without Yu Xiaogang's guidance. If he had Yu Xiaogang's instruction, wouldn't he become even stronger?

As long as Tang San's Twin Martial Souls remained hidden, Ye Ying would be the strongest. Once they were revealed, Tang San would be the strongest.

Simply perfect!

Ye Ying scratched his scalp.

"Grandmaster, how about you take me as your master instead?"

"I heard that your Soul Power has been unable to break through level thirty."

"As long as you take me as your master, I'll help you break through!"

Delight surged through Yu Xiaogang's heart, and he blurted out instinctively, "Really?"

Ye Ying nodded.

"As long as you become my disciple, I'll teach you!"

"My theoretical knowledge is self-taught, and my theories are invincible!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized his lapse in composure. He snorted coldly.

"How utterly backward!"

Then he turned and left.

Blue Silver Weasel Liu Ruyan sighed inwardly at that moment.

"Xiaogang, this is where you're being foolish."

"He really does know. I know about the Nine Grade Purple Mushroom too."

Early the next morning, two adults, two children, and one weasel—five figures in all—left Notting Academy together.

Notting Academy's headmaster Sigma, Yu Xiaogang, Ye Ying, Tang San, and Blue Silver Weasel.

Although Blue Silver Weasel was a Martial Soul, she preferred staying outside, after all, there was a transmigrator here.

Their destination was still the Soul Hunting Forest.

This time, Yu Xiaogang had specifically invited Notting Academy's headmaster Sigma.

With the protection of a defense-type Soul Ancestor, they would be far, far safer.

The group traveled quickly.

After two days, they arrived within the Soul Hunting Forest.

The moment they entered the Soul Hunting Forest, Luo Sanpao took the lead, with Sigma at the rear, protecting Ye Ying and Tang San between them, while the Blue Silver Weasel followed behind Luo Sanpao.

Both Tang San and Ye Ying needed soul beasts over five hundred years old.

The four of them swiftly ventured deeper within a single day.

Thousand Year Soul Beasts were rare in the Soul Hunting Forest, so heading deeper to search for high-age Hundred Year Soul Beasts was just right.

The group seemed to be quite lucky.

After advancing for less than half a day, four Water Wolves with blue fur emerged from a small lakeside beach.

Though they were wolves, they possessed water-element abilities.

"Not bad luck!"

Sigma laughed.

"We don't have any ice-element soul beasts here. Water is already the closest match."

"Ye Ying, these Water Wolves are very suitable for your martial soul."

"Although your first soul ring has already turned purple, it may simply be a change in color."

"If you directly absorb a higher-level Thousand Year Soul Ring, it might instead endanger your life."

"I even suspect that there may be some reason behind your martial soul that allows the color of your soul rings to change."

Yu Xiaogang had already judged the four Water Wolves in his heart.

"The leading Water Wolf should be over four hundred years old, while the others are only around two hundred years old."

"Although this type of soul beast is rarely so well-suited to Ye Ying, their age is too low."

"If Ye Ying absorbs one, his future achievements will inevitably decline greatly."

Yet he deliberately said nothing, because he wanted Ye Ying to absorb one.

If Ye Ying became too powerful, how would that highlight the strength of Tang San, whom Yu Xiaogang had taught?

Only if Ye Ying was weak could Tang San's power stand out.
