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

"Now that you have already revealed your first soul skill, but as for Su Yun's first soul skill, those who know its effects can be counted on one hand."

"Do you think that at the start of the match, you or he has the advantage?"

Tang San's expression was calm as he said, "Su Yun."

"Correct."

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and continued, "However, that is the only area where Su Yun has the upper hand."

He looked at Tang San and said, "Your body coordination is excellent, and your movements are very agile. This is one of your greatest advantages, and I hope you can fully utilize it when you face Su Yun."

Tang San naturally had immense confidence in his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Academy duels generally took place on a ring.

The space on the ring was neither too large nor too small; Tang San had checked it out before, and it was just enough for him to execute the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Tang San also knew that Su Yun possessed a movement technique, but he did not believe Su Yun's footwork could compare to his own.

After all, he had practiced the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track for nearly thirty years across two lifetimes. If he were to lose to Su Yun in this regard, wouldn't he be bringing shame upon himself and the ancestors of the Tang Sect?

"This disciple understands." Tang San nodded again.

Immediately, Tang San looked up and said, "Teacher, actually, there was no need for you to publicize my duel with Su Yun so widely."

"I know you did it to ignite my fighting spirit, but you didn't have to inform the entire Notting City about this matter."

"If one is going to do something, one must do it thoroughly. I have absolute confidence in you."

Yu Xiaogang stood up, patted Tang San on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao San, over all these years, you are the only one who has believed in my theories and been willing to practice them alongside me."

"For that, I am very moved."

"Therefore, I wanted to tell them that the disciple I have taken in is no worse than anyone else's. The student taught by Yu Xiaogang, even if he possesses a trash martial soul like the Blue Silver Grass, can still grow into a powerful control-type soul master!"

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, Tang San could clearly feel his heartbeat beginning to accelerate.

Tang San still remembered an old saying from his previous life: a man will die for one who understands him.

The words his teacher once said, "There are no trash martial souls, only trash soul masters," had been echoing in his ears.

Even though his martial soul was a trash one, his teacher had not given up on him; instead, he had poured his heart and energy into guiding his cultivation.

How could he lose to Su Yun in front of so many people in Notting City?

If he lost, wouldn't his teacher's lifelong reputation be destroyed because of him?

Thinking of this, a desire for victory involuntarily surged in Tang San's heart!

At the same time, he felt a ripple of soul power within his body.

Tang San then realized that this was what his teacher meant by motivation.

Because he did not want to see his teacher humiliated in public, his heart was filled with a craving for cultivation.

And precisely because of this craving, his internal soul power actually showed signs of another breakthrough.

Sure enough!

The potential of the human body is infinite, waiting only for one to unearth it.

"Teacher, I am going to cultivate now. In this final month, I want to push myself and break through to the seventeenth level of soul power," Tang San said as he stood up.

"Good. This time, just cultivate according to your own methods; there is no need to pay too much attention to my suggestions." After nodding in agreement, Yu Xiaogang added a few points of caution.

"Don't worry, Teacher. Wait for my good news."

Tang San bowed to Yu Xiaogang, turned, and left the room.

Feeling the sudden surge of soul power from Tang San and looking at the closed door, a smile finally appeared on the corner of Yu Xiaogang's mouth.

"Su Yun, oh Su Yun, it is almost impossible for you alone to catch up to Tang San."

"If you had apprenticed under me back then, your cultivation speed might have even surpassed Xiao San's by now."

"It is just a pity..."

While sighing to himself, his mind drifted back to that afternoon and the disrespect Su Yun had shown him.

At this thought, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel annoyed again.

That brat really had a poisonous tongue, always choosing to say exactly what people didn't want to hear.

Yu Xiaogang mocked him in his heart.

Forget it, no need to think about that brat.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head vigorously, trying to cast the image of that annoying youth out of his mind.

He hated Su Yun's way of speaking, but truthfully, he still had to thank him.

If it weren't for the duel between his disciple Tang San and Su Yun, Yu Xiaogang would have had no way to help his friend, the academy dean, solve the school's funding problems.

The Notting Junior Soul Master Academy was, after all, a public institution, and most of the time, it had to rely on donations from local wealthy individuals.

And now, he only needed to step forward to verify the authenticity of the wager, and the money would come pouring in.

Although he knew these people wanted to see him make a fool of himself, Yu Xiaogang had actually already prepared exactly what kind of look he would use to mock them when they came to watch him dive into the water that day.

"Now, I just have to wait for a month to pass."

In the room, Yu Xiaogang's faint voice echoed.

A month's time, under the publicity within and outside Notting City, passed by almost inadvertently.

Inside the work-study student dormitory.

"Su Yun, where are you going for the break this time?"

By the bed, Xiao Wu looked at Su Yun, who was folding his bedsheets, and asked.

"The break? I'm going back to the village, of course."

Su Yun didn't even lift his head, focusing intently on folding his sheets as he said, "Grandpa Village Chief and the others have been busy and only sent a few letters, so I naturally have to go back to visit them."

Some time ago, Old Jack from the village and several other villagers had sent a few letters to Su Yun and Tang San.

The letters all spoke of their longing for the two of them.

It was just a pity that there were many things to attend to in the village, so they couldn't come.

To make up for this regret, Su Yun naturally intended to go home and visit Grandpa Old Jack and the others after the end-of-term competition.

And at the thought of this juncture, Su Yun remembered.

Tang San's father, Tang Hao, also officially entrusted Tang San to Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang at this time.

He himself went off to handle other matters.

As someone who had read the original work, Su Yun knew that Tang Hao was likely going to find the main body of Ah Yin in this world.

Thinking of this, a trace of doubt arose in Su Yun's heart.

Since Ah Yin had already become his martial soul, would there still be any residual consciousness of Ah Yin left in the Blue Silver Grass seed that Tang Hao had planted?

Regarding this point, Su Yun was unclear, and he didn't dare to ask Ah Yin.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Wu thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted, "Right, I remember your village isn't far from here, right?"

"How about I go back to your Holy Soul Village with you this time, what do you think?"

Su Yun did not refuse, nodding as he said, "Of course you can, but if you don't go home, won't your family be worried?"

Su Yun knew Xiao Wu's identity, but he naturally wouldn't expose it, instead following the flow of the conversation to ask directly.

Sure enough, upon hearing Su Yun's words, a hint of loneliness appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes.

In the Star Dou Forest, her only remaining friends were Da Ming and Er Ming.

Moreover, she had only just transformed into a human and come out; if she were to run back, she might not even encounter Da Ming and Er Ming before being detected by other ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

That situation was still too dangerous for her.

"It's fine, you don't have to worry, my family is very at ease with me."

Immediately, Xiao Wu put on a confident expression and said, "Then it's settled, after the end-of-term competition is over, we'll go together."

"Alright!"

Su Yun nodded with a smile.

A month's time had finally passed!

On this day, Notting Junior Soul Master Academy was much more spectacular than any other day throughout the year!

Many nobles and wealthy people from Notting City gathered together, sitting in the high seats, chatting with each other in a pleasant atmosphere.
