This was his greatest regret!
Heh.
As expected.
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Su Yun finally asked his last question.
He looked Yu Xiaogang straight in the eye and said:
"Fine."
"If I really do have Twin Martial Souls, as you claim, why should I believe you can guide me down the right path?"
Yu Xiaogang: "..."
"I have one more question."
"Grandmaster, may I ask what your Soul Power Level is?"
After Su Yun fired off four questions in a row, Yu Xiaogang was left speechless yet again.
Damn!
Why did this kid always bring up the one thing he shouldn't?
At Su Yun's final question, Yu Xiaogang's brows knitted together.
His fists clenched even tighter.
At that moment, he was filled with anger toward Su Yun.
Those four questions had put him in an impossible position in front of Tang San.
They would severely undermine his authority as a teacher.
The fourth question in particular hit him where it hurt most.
However,
just as Yu Xiaogang found himself at a loss, unable to figure out how to answer Su Yun's question,
something neither he nor Su Yun expected happened.
Tang San stepped forward again!
He let go of Yu Xiaogang's hand and hurried between him and Su Yun.
He stared at Su Yun, a faint trace of anger between his brows, and said coldly:
"Su Yun, as the teacher's disciple, I hope you'll take back what you just said."
Tang San had been holding Yu Xiaogang's hand the whole time.
As a member of the Tang Sect, he could tell a person's mood just by taking his pulse.
He had deliberately placed his index and middle fingers on the teacher's main pulse point. From it, he could tell that Su Yun had pushed the teacher's anger to an appalling degree.
Yet even now, the teacher had been holding back his fury and hadn't laid a hand on Su Yun. That alone showed the teacher's restraint.
But!
He wasn't the teacher.
Tang Sect disciples repaid debts of vengeance and settled grudges.
If someone had said those things to him, he would have attacked Su Yun already. He wouldn't have cared that they came from the same village.
At the thought, a trace of killing intent flashed through Tang San's eyes!
Su Yun had insulted his teacher, which was tantamount to insulting his parents!
That made Su Yun Tang San's enemy!
He never showed mercy to his enemies!
Su Yun had chosen the Way of Seeking Death!
"As the old saying goes: 'A teacher leads you through the door; your cultivation is up to you.'"
"And there's another saying: 'A disciple need not be inferior to his teacher, nor must a teacher be superior to his disciple.'"
"Su Yun, all the teacher can do is give you the chance to cross the threshold and enter the world of cultivation."
"No teacher can guarantee with absolute certainty that their disciple will succeed."
"And although the teacher doesn't have Twin Martial Souls—and might not even be a Soul Master—"
"I believe his theoretical research speaks for itself."
"His theories are based on data he obtained through experiments and then analyzed."
"Facts speak louder than words."
"In the face of facts, no matter how much you argue, it's all in vain."
In his childish voice, Tang San once again won back some ground for Yu Xiaogang!
When Yu Xiaogang heard Tang San's words, especially the line, "A disciple need not be inferior to his teacher, nor must a teacher be superior to his disciple,"
his eyes instantly welled with tears of excitement!
If everyone else had Xiao San's way of thinking, why would he have to eke out a living in such a tiny place?
He'd chosen the right disciple!
Yu Xiaogang's eyes reddened in an instant!
He crouched down and suddenly pulled Tang San into his arms.
Then the hoarse voice of the middle-aged man sounded in Tang San's ear:
"Xiao San, I swear that I'll train you to become the second Titled Douluo in Douluo Continent with Twin Martial Souls!"
"If I fail to fulfill this vow, I, Yu Xiaogang, will leap off a cliff and end my life!"
Boom!
Yu Xiaogang's words crashed through Tang San's heart like a thunderclap out of a clear sky!
"Teacher!"
Tang San cried out excitedly.
He hadn't expected the teacher to make such a solemn vow for his sake!
It was proof of just how much the teacher valued him!
He'd been right to become his disciple!
Yu Xiaogang stood up and gave Tang San a smile, then turned to Su Yun again and said coldly:
"Su Yun, I've made up my mind!"
"I'll only ever take Tang San as my disciple!"
"You're not worthy of being my disciple, Su Yun!"
Yu Xiaogang's words rang out with finality.
The reason he said this to Su Yun was obvious: it all came down to comparison.
Next to Tang San, Su Yun was like a prickly hedgehog from head to toe.
If he really took on a disciple like that, Su Yun probably wouldn't listen to him in the future.
Rather than insist on keeping such a liability by his side, he might as well drive him away!
Seeing this scene, one that hadn't appeared in the original story,
Su Yun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Just because he'd shown up, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San—the pair of nauseating master and disciple—had added yet another nauseating scene to their repertoire.
And he was going to train him into the second Titled Douluo with Twin Martial Souls...
Why not go try asking Bibi Dong, if you're so capable?
You're planning to use an emotional appeal to learn the greatest secret of Twin Martial Souls.
What makes you think you have any right to ask?
Do you really think everyone is a bootlicker like Tang San?
Su Yun didn't take Yu Xiaogang's words to heart at all.
He'd never planned to become Grandmaster's disciple in the first place.
With the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor herself teaching him,
did he really need someone like Grandmaster, who had to rely on empty promises to take on disciples?
So, he...
