Tang San froze for a moment, then smiled. "Of course."
Yu Xiaogang looked at the two of them. "You both possess Innate Full Soul Power. Xiao Yu, your talent is certainly no weaker than Xiao San's. I've already considered how Xiao San should cultivate in the future, but I still don't understand your Martial Soul. I'm afraid you'll have to explore it on your own first."
Su Yu waved his hand indifferently. "It's fine. I know how I should cultivate."
Yu Xiaogang nodded, then asked, "Xiao Yu, do you understand your Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear?"
Su Yu smiled. "Of course I do."
Su Yu had come up with all the materials for the Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear himself. How could he possibly not understand it?
Su Yu immediately explained, "The spear shaft of the Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear is made from Immortal Silver forged through hundreds of millions of hammer strikes. The spearhead is made from Extraterrestrial Mysterious Iron, Core Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Iron, and the horn of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon."
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were utterly bewildered. Few people—one could even say no one—knew what materials their own Martial Souls were made from.
Though they did not quite understand the names of those metals, they could tell at once that they were incredibly impressive. Yu Xiaogang asked in confusion, "What kind of dragon is this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon? How come I've never heard of it?"
"I don't know how to explain it either. Anyway, it's the most powerful dragon among dragonkind!" Su Yu said somewhat proudly.
Yu Xiaogang gave a bitter smile. "All right, then. I have nothing else to say. Xiao San, take Xiao Yu around the academy for a look."
Tang San nodded, then looked at Su Yu. "Junior brother, let's go."
Su Yu nodded and left with Tang San.
After the two had left, Yu Xiaogang smiled. "It seems my second disciple is no ordinary person..."
Tang San took Su Yu around the academy. Before long, Xiao Wu found Su Yu and immediately called out, "Su Yu, what are you doing?"
Su Yu glanced at Xiao Wu, who had caught up with them. "Nothing much. Just walking around."
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San. "Who's he?"
Su Yu introduced him, "He's my senior brother, Tang San. Senior brother, this is my little sister, Xiao Wu."
Tang San gave Xiao Wu a slight nod. "Hello."
Xiao Wu smiled. "Hello."
Tang San stared at Xiao Wu's adorable appearance for a moment, stunned, and felt his heartbeat quicken slightly.
Su Yu looked at the two of them, thought for a moment, then said, "Well, I'll be going first. You two get to know each other." With that, Su Yu ran off.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were both baffled. Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and asked, "Is your brother always this lively?"
"You call this lively? He's just got too much time on his hands. At home, he steals my things every single day," Xiao Wu said angrily.
Influenced by Su Yu, Xiao Wu would occasionally blurt out phrases that did not belong in this world.
Tang San smiled when he heard her words. "You two siblings must be very close, right?"
Xiao Wu shook her ponytail. "Mm, I guess. Although Dead Su Yu is always bullying me, he treats me very well too. I remember when I was little, someone bullied me, and he hung that person up for three days and three nights."
As she spoke of it, Xiao Wu could not help but laugh.
Tang San assumed the one who had been hung up was a child. Little did he know, it had been an eighty-thousand-year Soul Beast. It had merely roared at Xiao Wu once, yet Su Yu had beaten it until it was half dead.
Tang San said enviously, "It must be wonderful to have such a good brother."
"Wonderful my ass. When he's good, he's really good to me, but when he's bad, I want to strangle him to death!" Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, as if she had recalled something again.
Su Yu, who had already left, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
A few days later, Yu Xiaogang summoned Su Yu and Tang San. Looking at them, he said, "Today, I'll take the two of you to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings."
"Understood, Teacher." Su Yu and Tang San nodded.
Yu Xiaogang took Su Yu and Tang San out of Notting City by carriage. Inside the carriage, Yu Xiaogang handed a belt to Tang San. "Xiao San, this is the Twenty-Four Bright Moon Bridge, a Storage Soul Tool. It has twenty-four gemstones, and each gemstone contains one cubic meter of space."
Tang San accepted the belt, looked at Yu Xiaogang, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Teacher."
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, then looked at Su Yu. "Xiao Yu, I don't have anything good to give you at the moment. I'll make it up to you later."
Tang San immediately said, "Teacher, you should give the Twenty-Four Bright Moon Bridge to junior brother instead."
Su Yu waved his hand. "No need. I have plenty of things like that."
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San said nothing more. That one sentence revealed that Su Yu was no ordinary person. Storage Soul Tools were extremely rare on the Douluo Continent, yet Su Yu claimed his family had plenty of them. There was no need to think about it—either Su Yu was boasting, or his family was extraordinary.
And based on what Yu Xiaogang and Tang San had learned about Su Yu recently, he was someone who disdained lying.
Yu Xiaogang brought the two of them to a marketplace. Groups of people gathered everywhere in the market, calling out to recruit others into their teams.
Yu Xiaogang explained that these were Soul Hunting Teams. However, a truly outstanding Soul Hunting Team needed at least five roles: food-type Soul Masters to provide supplies, recovery-type Soul Masters to restore the team's Soul Power, agility-type Soul Masters for scouting, strength-type Soul Masters for defense, and attack-type Soul Masters to eliminate enemies.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang was deeply disdainful of those Soul Hunting Teams that shouted for any somewhat capable Soul Master to join them.
After leaving the marketplace, the three arrived outside the Soul Hunting Forest. The trees in the Soul Hunting Forest were extremely tall, and Tang San was somewhat stunned by the sight. Su Yu, however, showed no reaction at all. The Star Dou Great Forest was far grander and more magnificent than this place.
Yu Xiaogang had been watching their reactions the entire time. Seeing Su Yu's response, he became even more certain that Su Yu was extraordinary.
The outside of the Soul Hunting Forest was lined entirely with iron fences. Beyond the fences, a hundred soldiers patrolled back and forth. Every one of them wore steel armor and carried long halberds.
Yu Xiaogang led the two to the entrance and handed over his token. The soldiers immediately opened the gate respectfully and allowed the three of them inside.
After entering the Soul Hunting Forest, Yu Xiaogang shouted, "Come out, Luo Sanpao."
The next moment, a creature that looked both like a dog and a pig appeared before the three of them. Tang San stared at Luo Sanpao in surprise.
Yu Xiaogang explained, "This is my Martial Soul. His name is Luo Sanpao. You two can call him Sanpao."
Tang San asked in surprise, "Teacher, your Martial Soul is a beast Martial Soul? But aren't beast Martial Souls supposed to possess their owners? Yours..."
