Douluo: Martial Soul Ah Yin, Exposing Tang San's True Colors

Su Yun did not choose an iron shaft for his spear, but a wooden one instead.

Although it was wood, its level of durability was remarkably high.

Based on the level at which Tang San was able to kill a century-old Datura Snake using only a Sleeve Arrow and a short sword back then.

This spear was definitely more than enough for Su Yun.

After paying, Su Yun took the long spear and headed straight toward the mountain behind the academy.

While Su Yun was immersed in the practice of the Prairie Fire Spear Technique and the Wind God Leg.

Tang San, sitting in a carriage, also posed a question to his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

Inside the carriage.

Tang San raised his doubt.

"Teacher, why did you make that kind of promise yesterday?"

The promise Tang San was referring to was, naturally, the wager Yu Xiaogang had added during his challenge with Su Yun.

It would have been one thing if his teacher had simply offered to apologize in public.

But his teacher had actually taken the initiative to declare to the whole world that he was unworthy of the title Grandmaster!

This was completely an unfair gamble!

Yu Xiaogang, who had been sitting to the side with his eyes closed in meditation, seemed to have known all along that his student would ask this question.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to hold back from asking me."

Yu Xiaogang slowly opened his eyes. He held up two fingers and said, "Actually, there are two reasons."

"The first reason is that I wanted to stimulate your fighting spirit."

"In the coming year, you will inevitably spar with some of your classmates."

"But the results of such spars are all inconsequential."

"It's nothing more than children of your age feeling a bit embarrassed about losing."

"It's painless and itchy."

"After spending only a short while together yesterday, I could already see that you are a child who values relationships deeply."

"That saying of yours, 'a teacher for a day is a father for life'."

"I have kept it in my heart."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with an affirming gaze and said, "Therefore, I deliberately increased the stakes on our side."

"The goal was to use that emotion in your heart to force you to put in more effort during your training over the next year."

"For this, teacher apologizes to you."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang even bowed slightly toward Tang San.

"Teacher!"

Seeing this, Tang San hurriedly helped Yu Xiaogang up.

The concept of 'a teacher for a day is a father for life' could be said to be deeply ingrained in Tang San's heart.

Yu Xiaogang bowing to Tang San.

In Tang San's eyes, wasn't this equivalent to a father bowing to his own child?

How could Tang San easily accept this bow from Yu Xiaogang?

He hurriedly knelt inside the carriage.

"Tang San is foolish. If I had known earlier that you did this for my sake, Teacher, I would not have asked such a stupid question."

"This disciple swears that I will definitely defeat Su Yun in the match one year from now!"

Tang San's tone was extremely solemn.

In his previous life, although he was taken into the Tang Sect by Grand Elder Tang, no elder had ever been willing to take him as a disciple.

Now, he had become the only disciple under his teacher.

Naturally, he could not lose face for his teacher.

"Hahaha, you child, it is enough that you understand my meaning; why must you kneel at every turn?"

Yu Xiaogang laughed and helped Tang San up to sit, saying:

"As I just said, that was only the first reason."

"Actually, this second reason is that I still harbor a glimmer of hope in my heart."

Hope?

Tang San looked at the face of his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, which usually seemed to carry a trace of sorrow.

He felt puzzled in his heart.

"Don't forget, Su Yun, just like you, possesses Twin Martial Souls."

Yu Xiaogang said softly:

"Although his personality is rather unruly, in truth, I really don't want to let such a talent be wasted by other foolish teachers."

Tang San raised another question:

"But Teacher, didn't Su Yun say that he already has a teacher?"

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang chuckled and shook his head, saying:

"Little San, oh Little San, you are still too young."

"Do you really think that the teacher Su Yun spoke of..."

"Actually exists?"

After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, a bolt of lightning flashed through Tang San's mind, and his pupils constricted sharply:

"Teacher, you mean..."

"Correct."

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and said: "In my opinion, that was nothing more than that child's angry retort."

"I remember he comes from the same village as you, a village called Holy Soul Village."

"In your impression, are there any powerful spirit masters in that village?"

Tang San shook his head: "None."

"That settles it."

Yu Xiaogang felt his hypothesis had been verified and smiled:

"In my view, that little fellow just made up a so-called teacher to prove his own talent."

"In reality, such a person does not exist at all."

"Perhaps for now, relying on his so-called talent, he can still contend with you to some extent."

"But after my guidance, combined with your own diligent cultivation..."

"In the competition a year from now, once he is crushed by you, he will naturally realize that relying solely on his own talent is not enough to bring out the true power of his Martial Soul."

"Only then will he realize how precious a teacher like me truly is."

So that was it!

Tang San listened to the two reasons his teacher provided.

He couldn't help but admire his teacher's greatness and painstaking efforts in his heart.

Not only for his own sake, but he was also putting such deep thought into someone who hadn't even become his disciple yet.

He truly hadn't chosen the wrong teacher.

"By the way, Teacher, actually, last night, I also noticed something unusual about Su Yun."

With the image of Su Yun cultivating in the dormitory last night and the anomalies he witnessed flashing through his mind, Tang San spoke up immediately.

"Oh? What kind of situation?"

Yu Xiaogang became interested upon hearing this and asked.

Immediately.

Tang San recounted his feelings and speculations from last night to his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

However, he kept the Mysterious Heaven Skill a secret.

After listening, Yu Xiaogang nodded.

"Hmm... Little San, your speculation aligns with mine."
