Yu Xiaogang Appears, Liu Erlong: I Just Want to See Whether the Diary's Existence Really Can't Be Revealed!

Yu Xiaogang Appears, Liu Erlong: I Just Want to See Whether the Diary's Existence Really Can't Be Revealed!

Just as Old Jack and the gatekeeper were arguing endlessly, a middle-aged man appeared. He had a buzz cut, a face full of stubble, and a somewhat despondent appearance.

Su Ming took a look. He matched the image Su Ming knew fairly well. This middle-aged man before him should be Yu Xiaogang, the one known as the Theory Master.

Then, as Su Ming watched Yu Xiaogang approach, he wrote in his diary with his thoughts.

In his previous life, he could only watch these people on television. Now, they had appeared alive before his very eyes. Su Ming found that rather interesting.

Perhaps Su Ming had decided in his heart that this was the world of an anime, and that he had been reborn here. For now, he had yet to fully integrate into this world and still viewed its people and events from an observer's perspective.

That was perfectly normal. If you went alone to an unfamiliar world, you would definitely need time to adapt and fit in.

Oh, never mind Tang San holding a grudge against Grandpa Jack and me. The one here to save the day has arrived.

Just as I expected, Yu Xiaogang still appeared!

Blue Tyrant Academy.

At that moment, Liu Erlong was watering flowers while reading the diary. Her heart suddenly trembled, and the watering can fell straight to the ground. Her eyes grew slightly misty as she murmured, "Xiao Gang, after all these years, I finally know where you are!"

Originally, Liu Erlong had merely adopted a wait-and-see attitude toward this diary. After all, her heart still belonged to Yu Xiaogang, and she was not particularly concerned with anything else.

Still, reading the diary every day and receiving a Soul Power reward every seven days was nice. There was no reason to turn down a free reward, so she treated it as everyday entertainment.

As for the other reward, Su Ming needed to keep mentioning her name in the diary. That would inevitably require her to go to Su Ming and make her presence known. She had no interest in that.

But now, she had actually learned from the diary that Yu Xiaogang was at Nuoding Academy. How could she not be excited? Because of what had happened last time, they had not seen each other for many years.

Even after learning that they were blood-related cousins, she had already fallen for Yu Xiaogang before discovering that fact. Though his strength was weak, his understanding of Martial Souls and that wisdom of his deeply attracted her.

She could not help but fall for him. Even after learning they were cousins, she still could not give up her love for Yu Xiaogang. Liking someone needed no reason!

Just as she wanted to set off immediately for Nuoding Academy to find Yu Xiaogang, she suddenly recalled the diary's rule: she could not let anyone else discover that she possessed the diary, or she would be killed. As for those "others"...

With Liu Erlong's fiery temper, she naturally did not really believe in such a rule. She was a little stubborn and wanted to test it.

And then, a test nearly led to death.

She deliberately found a teacher at the academy, placed the diary right before his eyes, and asked whether he could see anything.

The teacher merely shook his head in confusion.

Liu Erlong still refused to believe it and directly said, "Don't you see this dia—"

The moment Liu Erlong uttered the first syllable, she suddenly felt an immensely powerful force lock onto her. Her heart palpitated, and she felt that if she dared say even one more word, she would be killed on the spot!

She then waved her hand and dismissed the teacher.

Afterward, she could no longer endure the pressure and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her heart pounded violently, as though it were about to leap from her chest.

Reckless actions came with a price. The diary would not indulge her. This was merely a minor punishment.

Recalling that experience, Liu Erlong withdrew the foot she had stepped forward with. She could not rashly appear before Su Ming like this, or she would definitely reveal a flaw.

If Su Ming discovered that she possessed a copy of the diary, she would be finished.

Su Ming knew the plot. She could not act so impulsively.

Though she did not know why she had obtained the diary, she believed that one day, she would meet Su Ming.

Liu Erlong took a deep breath and thought, For now, I'll just stay here and watch the diary update. It's enough to know Xiao Gang's news. I've already waited so long; a little longer won't matter.

Outside Nuoding Academy.

Yu Xiaogang directly stopped Old Jack and the gatekeeper, then rebuked the latter, "You're merely a lowly gatekeeper. Whether this little boy with Innate Full Soul Power can become a Work-Study Student is not for you to decide!"

Yu Xiaogang had happened to pass by and heard their argument from afar. He had roughly understood why Tang San and Su Ming had been stopped by the gatekeeper, then casually snatched the two certificates from the gatekeeper's hand.

After being scolded by Yu Xiaogang, the gatekeeper moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately did not utter a word.

Yu Xiaogang was said to be the dean's friend, and he was also a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster. Although people secretly called him trash, he was still not someone an ordinary person without any Soul Power could afford to offend.

He did not know why he had acted so irrationally just now. Was it because of the jealousy in his heart, or because he thought these two boys who had just awakened their Martial Souls were easy to bully? Perhaps it was both.

Yu Xiaogang carefully examined the Martial Soul Awakening information for Su Ming and Tang San on the two certificates. From afar, he had only known that Old Jack and the gatekeeper were arguing over two boys who had awakened their Martial Souls. He did not yet know what Martial Souls they had awakened or how talented they were.

Su Ming, Martial Soul: Wood Element. Innate Soul Power Level 7.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up. Innate Soul Power Level 7—he was a genius. As long as he cultivated step by step and did not die prematurely, his future achievements would be no lower than Soul Douluo!

This stirred Yu Xiaogang's desire to take him as a disciple. He had always wanted to prove to the world that his Martial Soul Ten Core Theories were correct, to let everyone know that even if Yu Xiaogang himself lacked strength, he could still produce outstanding disciples. He needed a disciple to clear his name!

Then, he looked at the other certificate. Tang San, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. Innate Soul Power Level 10!

The moment he saw the words Blue Silver Grass, his bright eyes immediately dimmed. But when he saw Innate Soul Power Level 10 written beneath them, his heart instantly surged with excitement!

A genius—no, this Tang San was definitely a monster. If his guess was correct, Tang San's future achievements would be enough to rival Pope Bibi Dong!

He then turned to Old Jack and said with absolute confidence, "I'll take them to handle their enrollment procedures. Don't worry. I still have some say in this academy!"

Old Jack also knew that the man before him must have some influence. Otherwise, the gatekeeper would not have remained silent after being scolded.

Old Jack then took out two money pouches and handed one each to Su Ming and Tang San. Smiling, he said, "The rest of the road is yours to walk. I hope you two study hard at the academy."

Su Ming peeked through the opening of the pouch. There should be Silver Soul Coins inside, around ten judging by the weight. Though it was not much money to Su Ming now, it was still a token of Grandpa Jack's kindness!

After all, Grandpa Jack was only an ordinary man. Silver Soul Coins had considerable purchasing power, and being able to give them so many was already no easy feat.

Su Ming nodded solemnly and said to Grandpa Jack, "Don't worry, Grandpa Jack. I'll definitely study hard. When school is out, I'll come back to see you!"

Tang San also accepted Old Jack's kindness. After all, he did not have much money himself. He nodded slightly at Grandpa Jack and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Jack."

Afterward, Su Ming watched Grandpa Jack slowly make his way back. Looking at his slightly hunched figure, Su Ming did not know why, but his nose stung. Grandpa Jack was his only family in this world!

P.S. The second chapter may be late, but it's here. Still asking for recommendation votes, bookmarks, and follow-up reading. Thank you on my knees~~
