Perception Through Spiders

Tang San calmly glanced at Ye Qiu's retreating back.

He turned his gaze back to Yu Xiaogang.

"Since you are not a teacher at the academy, how should Xiao San address you?"

"Everyone calls me Master. I've long forgotten my original name."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang paused, his gaze burning as he looked at Tang San.

The plot revealed its true intention!

"If you truly wish to call me teacher, that's not impossible."

Tang San met Yu Xiaogang's gaze calmly, showing no reaction.

He wouldn't offer anything without getting something in return, pretending ignorance when he knew everything.

He was quite skilled at that too.

Yu Xiaogang nodded with a stiff smile, stroking the stubble on his chin as he appraised Tang San.

His words were astonishing.

"Besides your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, what is your other Martial Soul?!"

"!!"

Tang San's pupils contracted violently, his heart greatly alarmed.

Beneath his clothes, the sleeve dart on his left wrist was re-cocked.

Friend or foe?!

A coldness slowly welled up in the depths of Tang San's eyes.

Though killing intent arose, his expression remained unchanged as he spoke to probe:

"How did you know?"

Master Yu was unaware that his name had already begun to flicker on the Book of Life and Death.

He remained composed.

He gave Tang San a stiff smile, trying his best to appear friendly, gentle, and approachable.

He raised the Martial Soul proof in his hand.

He began to boast, talking about how he had worked in the countryside, sweated, and investigated hundreds of Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul owners. He dedicated himself to researching Martial Souls, proposed the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, and claimed no one understood Soul Master cultivation better than him!

He was the universally recognized theoretical master in the Soul Master world!

Yu Xiaogang gave a lengthy self-introduction, then cited classics and spoke passionately, reaching his conclusion almost definitively!

"Therefore, I can be certain that you definitely possess another incredibly powerful Martial Soul, and you are the third Twin Martial Souls possessor in history!"

Tang San's heart was greatly shaken, and his killing intent crumbled.

To deduce so much from just a Martial Soul proof, his title as the number one theoretical master was well-deserved!

But Tang San still had a final doubt.

He extended his right hand, where a small blue grass swayed continuously. Tang San looked up at Yu Xiaogang and asked, "Master, everyone says my Blue Silver Grass is a trash Martial Soul, but can a trash Martial Soul truly cultivate?"

"Heh heh."

Yu Xiaogang chuckled and shook his head, hands behind his back, his spine straight as he gazed at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

"You must remember forever."

"There are no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San smiled. MacArthur also smiled.

This person was qualified to be his teacher!

Tang San closed the safety on his silent sleeve dart and stepped back, widening the distance between himself and Yu Xiaogang.

Then, with a bang, he knelt on the ground.

Thump, thump, thump! He respectfully kowtowed three times to Yu Xiaogang.

Ye Qiu, returning from nearby, seemed to hear Tang San shout something in a daze.

"Father--!"

"If you do not abandon me, I wish to recognize you as my sworn father!"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned on the spot.

"What are you doing? Kowtowing is a ritual reserved for kings and parents."

"A day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father! Please accept this bow from Tang San."

Bang--!

Saying this, Tang San struck his head again with undiminished force, his forehead turning red.

"Good, good!"

"A teacher for a day is a father for life!"

Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and quickly bowed to help up the "good son" he had just tricked.

"Xiao San, what is this?"

Ye Qiu walked over slowly, feigning surprise as he looked at Tang San.

"Ye Qiu?"

Tang San turned to look at Ye Qiu, his eyes flickering slightly. He didn't explain, but instead asked:

"When did you get back?"

"Huh?!"

Ye Qiu froze for a moment, a chill in his heart. He helplessly shook his still-wet hand.

"Of course, I just got back. I was wondering why you suddenly knelt down. You wouldn't abandon Uncle Hao, would you?"

Tang San frowned, not wanting to bother with Ye Qiu's nonsense. He raised his hand to introduce:

"This is the teacher I just took."

"The teacher you just took?"

Ye Qiu looked at Yu Xiaogang, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

A coldness spread through his heart.

Ever since he had gone through the three months of the spider, he had gained two abilities.

One of them was extraordinary perception.

Although Tang San's killing intent was very faint.

It was completely exposed.

This brat was too vigilant. He had already given him enough distance.

Heh.

He wouldn't take a compliment!

Was this how Tang Hao wanted him to "take care" of him? With a silent dart?

Yu Xiaogang met Ye Qiu's gaze.

Seeing those clear eyes, his mind became active again.

"According to the Martial Soul proof, your name is Ye Qiu, right?"

"Yes."

Ye Qiu nodded.

Yu Xiaogang once again showed a profound smile, saying meaningfully, "Do you really think your Martial Soul is a trash Martial Soul?"

"Mm?"

Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, only giving him a confused look and not responding.

Tang San, at this moment, seemed to wake up from a dream.

He had Twin Martial Souls and Mysterious Heaven Skill, so what about Ye Qiu? Why did he have Innate Full Soul Power?!

Regarding this point, Yu Xiaogang had already considered it.

According to his theory, he could deduce that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls because he was certain that Tang San's Martial Soul had not mutated and was indeed the most ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

As for Ye Qiu's Martial Soul, it was something he had never seen before.

Although it looked like a trash Martial Soul, he didn't think he was so lucky to encounter two geniuses with Twin Martial Souls at the same time. Eliminating all low-probability events, then... there was only one truth!

Yu Xiaogang was full of confidence and asserted:

"Ye Qiu, I've never seen your Martial Soul before. But I can be sure that it's a mutated Martial Soul. Otherwise, with your commoner status, you absolutely wouldn't be able to awaken Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Mutated Martial Soul?!"

Ye Qiu's eyes widened, feigning surprise, but he was rolling his eyes internally.

Tang San also suddenly realized.

So Ye Qiu's Martial Soul belonged to the category of mutated Martial Souls.

Teacher truly lived up to his reputation as the number one theorist!

Yu Xiaogang was very satisfied with their expressions.

In the entire Soul Master world, few people could listen to him talk so eloquently and show such expressions. Those people thought he was a liar, but the more they did, the more he wanted to nurture powerful students to prove himself!

"Ye Qiu, in terms of Martial Soul research, especially on mutated Martial Souls, I am the most skilled. You are new here and know very little about Martial Souls. Having a good teacher and helpful friends on the path of cultivation is beneficial in every way. I wonder... are you willing to take me as your teacher?"

Yu Xiaogang put on the airs of a master, calmly looking at the surprised Ye Qiu, waiting for his answer.

Although Ye Qiu's talent was not as good as Tang San's, He was also a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, capable of making mistakes for himself and accumulating experience for his teaching, allowing the more talented Tang San to take fewer detours and helping him cultivate even better disciples!

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang's lengthy explanation was nothing more than him wanting to take another capable godson.

Tang San also looked at Ye Qiu.

Although he didn't quite understand Tang Hao's request to look after Ye Qiu, if they became fellow disciples, it would seem to fall into place naturally.

"I'd rather not. Little San has already taken you as his master, and I don't want to be the junior. Unless Little San is willing to step down to the position of junior disciple."

Ye Qiu shook his head helplessly.

A good teacher and a good friend, you're practically flattering yourselves, master and disciple.

Tang San's brow furrowed.

He already disliked Ye Qiu, who was younger than him, calling him "Little San." Naturally, he was unwilling to step down to the position of junior disciple for him now.

Yu Xiaogang frowned.

After all that effort, he hadn't gained a godson, which was truly a shame. However, the pride of a master prevented him from insisting further.

He was giving Ye Qiu an opportunity, not begging Ye Qiu.

"Very well, in the Soul Master world, one can only recognize one master in their lifetime. This is indeed something you should consider carefully!"

This statement had a double meaning.

It seemed to be said to Ye Qiu, but it was actually Yu Xiaogang telling Tang San.

Even if I am just a Soul Grand Master, you have already kowtowed to me as your godson!

You can't get rid of me!

"Alright, follow me. I'll take you to report."

Yu Xiaogang tidied up his mood and no longer dwelled on these matters. He was already very satisfied with Tang San, who possessed Twin Martial Souls.

Ye Qiu and Tang San followed Yu Xiaogang to the reporting area. After receiving their school uniforms, they parted ways with Yu Xiaogang and headed towards their dormitory together.

That was where everything began... Seventh Dorm!

Wishing you all a pleasant life!
