Meeting Tang San Again, Adopting Tang San as a Foster Son

Chapter 19: Eating Roasted Lamb (As for why it's different from the title, keep reading to find out)

Just like that, Ye Ye finished today's lesson. The afternoon was for self-cultivation, so Ye Ye didn't need to worry about it.

At noon, Ye Ye prepared to go out to eat. Why not eat at the school cafeteria? Because if Ye Ye ate at the school cafeteria, half the school would probably go hungry.

Although Ye Ye was in a human body now, his physical constitution and various skills were no different from Godzilla, and his consumption was just as high, so he needed to replenish enough energy.

Just as Ye Ye was about to walk out of the school gate, he ran into Tang San and Xiao Wu. Ye Ye seemed to have thought of something, walked over, and said, "Wait!"

Tang San: "Teacher Ye, is there something you need?"

Ye Ye: "Come to my office this afternoon when you have time."

Tang San frowned, not understanding what Ye Ye meant, but he still agreed: "No problem, Teacher."

Ye Ye nodded and continued walking toward the school gate.

.

Xiao Wu: "Third Brother, why did Teacher Ye ask you to see him?"

Tang San: "I don't know either."

Ye Ye walked outside and arrived at a restaurant called <Nuoding City Zhang Family Authentic Suotuo City Wang Family Roasted Lamb>. He went in and found a seat. After a while, a waiter came over and asked, "Sir, what would you like?"

Ye Ye: "I want ten sheep."

Waiter: "Ten sheep, which parts?"

Ye Ye: "I want ten whole sheep, and make them extra spicy." Ye Ye had always had a heavy palate; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to eat raw meat immediately after becoming Godzilla.

Waiter: "What? Are you sure you want ten sheep?" (′o′)

Ye Ye: "Yes."

The waiter hurriedly ran to the back kitchen, shouting as he ran: "Boss! We've got a big order!"

After a while, the roasted sheep were brought out from the kitchen one after another. Ye Ye didn't mind the heat; he went straight for it, tore a sheep in half, and started gnawing on it—come eat roasted lamb! Having been a soul beast for so long, Ye Ye had become increasingly wild.

Several waiters near Ye Ye were also shocked, and then they continued to watch. The more they watched, the more shocked they became. Ye Ye had actually finished an entire sheep so quickly, and then they started discussing it among themselves.

Waiter A: "Do you think he can finish them?"

Waiter B: "I don't think so, after all, there are ten sheep!"

Waiter C: "I think he can. Look at him, finishing a sheep is as easy as eating a skewer of lamb."

Waiter D: "That's right, he'll definitely finish. Look at how elegant he looks while eating! (^o^)"

Waiter A: "?"

Waiter B: "(д)"

Waiter C: "Where do you see elegance? Has your brain short-circuited?"

Ye Ye finished the ten sheep very quickly, and those waiters were all stunned.

Waiters A, B, and C: "He really finished them!" (д)

Waiter D: "So handsome."

Waiters A, B, and C: "?"

Ye Ye: "Bring ten more." Ye Ye hadn't had enough yet.

Boss: "Quick, go ask the Tathagata Buddha (ahem, wrong script), quick, go slaughter a few more sheep." The sheep here were slaughtered as they were prepared, absolutely fresh.

Then Ye Ye finished them, and then finished those too. In the end, there were really no more sheep left. Boss: "Sir, there really are no more sheep today. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Ye Ye: "That's it? You guys have too few sheep. Boss, you're not up to the task. Fine, I'll come back later."

You don't even look at how much you've eaten, but he certainly couldn't say that on the surface.

Boss: "Sir, you're right. We were underprepared this time."

Then Ye Ye paid the bill and left.

Boss + Waiters: "Welcome back next time."

Ye Ye: "Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow."

Boss + Waiters: "(д)"

Only Waiter D: "Great! ＼(^▽^)／!"

Then Ye Ye returned to the academy.

Chapter 20: Taking Tang San as a Foster Son (Unexpected, right? Surprised? Keep reading)

Ye Ye returned to his office and said to the system: "System, today's check-in location."

[Ding! There are no other check-in locations in Nuoding City. Searching for check-in locations in other regions for the host. Check-in location: Tiantou City, distance 25,018,845 meters.]

Ye Ye: "As expected, the plot in Nuoding City is too sparse, and nothing major has happened, so there are no sign-in locations at all. I'll have to go to Tiantou City myself later. It seems I need to leave here soon, but why does this distance feel so strange?"

Just as Ye Ye was deep in thought, a knock on the door suddenly echoed. Ye Ye stopped thinking and said, "Please come in."

Tang San then walked in from outside the door and asked, "Teacher, did you call for me for something?"

Ye Ye: "Oh, it's you, San. Come, sit down."

After Tang San sat down and asked again, Ye Ye said, "I called you over because of Grandmaster."

Tang San frowned upon hearing this, and Ye Ye continued, "I advise you not to continue learning from Grandmaster. His teaching methods are all wrong and have no basis whatsoever."

Tang San's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, and he stood up, saying, "Teacher Ye, I will not allow you to slander my teacher."

Ye Ye: "Then, may I ask what the maximum limit is for a person's first spirit ring?"

"423 years," Tang San said with certainty.

"Then what about the second, third, and fourth spirit rings?"

Tang San: "The second spirit ring's maximum is 764 years, the third spirit ring is 1,760 years, and the fourth spirit ring is 5,000 years."

Ye Ye: "Then look at my spirit rings now." As he spoke, Ye Ye released his simulated spirit rings: yellow, purple, purple, black.

How is this possible? Tang San thought. Teacher clearly said the first two spirit rings are hundred-year, followed by two thousand-year spirit rings, but why are Teacher Ye's spirit rings completely different?

Ye Ye: "Everyone's spirit ring limit is different. The limit of a spirit ring depends on the spirit master's physical constitution and the quality of their martial spirit. As long as your martial spirit and body are strong enough, you can even absorb spirit rings of much higher age."

Tang San: "So that's how it is. Could it be that Grandmaster is wrong about everything?"

Because Grandmaster had been injured previously, he hadn't taught Tang San much during this period. Coupled with the proof of Ye Ye's spirit rings, Tang San began to trust Ye Ye even more.

Ye Ye is right. Grandmaster's theories have no basis and no reference point at all, Tang San thought.

Then, Tang San knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Ye Ye, and said excitedly, "Teacher Ye, please take me as your disciple."

Ye Ye was also stunned, then said, "Haven't you already acknowledged Grandmaster as your teacher?"

Tang San: That's right, I've already acknowledged Grandmaster as my teacher; I cannot acknowledge Teacher Ye as my teacher as well.

Then Tang San said again, "Then, I acknowledge you as my foster father. Please accept me as your foster son." He then kowtowed three more times.

Ye Ye: I didn't expect Tang San to acknowledge me as his foster father. This will be interesting from now on.

Ye Ye hurriedly said, "Get up quickly."

Tang San: "If Foster Father doesn't agree, I won't get up."

Ye Ye: "Fine, I agree."

Tang San: "Thank you, Foster Father," and he stood up.

Ye Ye: "Since you have acknowledged me as your foster father, I cannot treat you poorly. Now, I will teach you more knowledge about spirit masters and methods for physical training."

Ye Ye then began to explain more spirit master knowledge to Tang San, such as "mental power, spirit bones, the strength of spirit beast bloodlines, precautions when absorbing spirit rings, the power of ultimate martial spirit attributes, and then he touched upon the layout of the continent, the benefits and power of Martial Soul Hall... and so on."

Following that, Ye Ye also arranged a training regimen for Tang San and instilled in him concepts of prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, and the rule of law, along with correct ways of thinking, correcting Tang San's worldview and ideology.

Ye Ye even spent 200 points to buy Tang San many books with upright values, as well as various essays, such as those on how children shouldn't engage in early romance, the importance of mutual courtesy, the separation of genders, and helping others, among other things.

Ye Ye wanted to start from Tang San's childhood to correct his worldview.

Author's Note:

These two chapters have been combined into one, and the word count is higher. As for why? Because the author wrote side stories earlier, the chapter numbers in the table of contents and the actual text are off by 5 chapters. By combining two chapters like this, the author increases the word count and can catch up to the table of contents.
