First Encounter with Yu Xiaogang

Following this, Wang Sheng led Xu Yuan and the others to the playground. The playground was vast, surrounded by a running track with a lush green lawn in the center.

"This is where we usually exercise and have our practical combat classes. Sometimes the senior students hold matches here, and it's incredibly exciting!" Wang Sheng said with an excited expression.

Xiao Wu looked at the playground, rubbing her hands together as she said, "Once I get familiar with the school, I'm definitely going to show off my skills here!"

Xu Yuan felt a bit strange; the school looked somewhat similar to the ones from before he transmigrated.

The school wasn't very large, and after Wang Sheng led the two of them around for a while, they had seen it all.

As the trio returned to Dorm Seven, they saw Tang San at the entrance of the library.

Tang San was chatting with a middle-aged man, but because they were some distance away, Xu Yuan and his companions couldn't hear what they were saying.

Xu Yuan recognized the middle-aged man; he was none other than the "famous" master of theory.

Regarding Yu Xiaogang's theories, Xu Yuan just smiled without a word.

It was only by using common theoretical knowledge mixed with his own wild, imaginative ideas that he had earned the title of "Master of Theory," and this title was certainly not a compliment to Yu Xiaogang.

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang before him and asked, "Teacher, is there something you need?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and said, "Tang San, your Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, isn't it?"

He had learned from the administration office that there were two freshmen with Innate Full Soul Power whose Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass, and the idea of taking them as disciples had sprouted in his mind.

This was because he felt that both of them must possess Twin Martial Souls.

In his view, it was impossible for a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to have Innate Full Soul Power; throughout history, such a thing had never appeared.

The reason Xu Yuan and Tang San both possessed Innate Full Soul Power was because they each had another Martial Soul.

Tang San was slightly startled, not expecting Yu Xiaogang to ask about his Martial Soul so directly.

He nodded and replied calmly, "Yes, Master, my Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."

Yu Xiaogang inquired, "I wish to take you as my disciple; are you willing?"

Tang San frowned upon hearing this, feeling that something about Yu Xiaogang wasn't quite right.

Both he and Xu Yuan had Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power, so why was this person only asking to take him as a student?

However, Tang San didn't answer immediately, simply watching Yu Xiaogang quietly.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but stiffen: "The reason I want to take you as a student is because you possess Twin Martial Souls."

Tang San was very surprised to hear this, but remembering what his father had told him, he did not admit to possessing Twin Martial Souls.

Yu Xiaogang noticed the change in Tang San's expression and, feeling somewhat smug, proceeded to explain his analysis to him.

After listening to Yu Xiaogang's analysis, Tang San didn't really agree with it in his heart.

According to what Yu Xiaogang said, he was the third person in a hundred years to possess Twin Martial Souls, which would mean Xu Yuan also had Twin Martial Souls.

But the probability of that was far too low.

The fact that they both happened to have Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power was a coincidence; given the rarity of Twin Martial Souls as described by Yu Xiaogang, how could it be such a coincidence that they both had them?

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang had likely just stumbled upon the truth by pure luck.

Just as Tang San was pondering this in his heart, Xu Yuan, Xiao Wu, and Wang Sheng had already walked up close.

Seeing Tang San and Yu Xiaogang talking, Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Tang San, what's going on here?"

Before Tang San could speak, Yu Xiaogang interjected, "Little girl, I am looking to take Tang San as my disciple to guide him further along the path of a Spirit Master."

Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Then what kind of skills do you have?"

Yu Xiaogang said unhurriedly, "Little girl, although I lack powerful combat ability, my research into Martial Souls is deep to the bone. I have spent decades traveling across the continent, collecting countless pieces of information regarding Martial Souls."

As he spoke, he pulled a worn but well-preserved notebook from his robes, which was densely packed with writing and hand-drawn illustrations of various Martial Souls.

"This notebook records my research results on the characteristics of various Martial Souls, Spirit Skill combinations, and cultivation methods. Take the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, for example; it is usually considered a trash Martial Soul, but in my research, it also has unique potential to be excavated," Yu Xiaogang said with great confidence.

Wang Sheng listened from the side, his eyes filled with admiration: "Wow, so you are actually that amazing, Teacher."

Xiao Wu, however, remained full of skepticism, hands on her hips as she said, "Talk is cheap; who knows if what you're saying is true or false? If you're so capable, show us."

Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "Demonstrating isn't difficult. However, I lack the right environment and objects right now. How about this, I can give you an example. There was once a Spirit Master whose Martial Soul was an unremarkable stone, and he was always at a disadvantage in battle. Later, he found me, and based on the characteristics of his Martial Soul, I formulated a unique cultivation method and a scheme for his Spirit Skill combinations. After a period of cultivation, he defeated an opponent whose Spirit Power was two levels higher than his in a match."

Xiao Wu wanted to say something more, but Xu Yuan tugged on her sleeve, and she said nothing further.

Listening to Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San felt his resolve waver.

After thinking for a moment, Tang San continued, "Everything has exceptions; why couldn't I be a special case?"

Yu Xiaogang began to explain his analysis again, telling Tang San his thoughts.

Xu Yuan smiled as he listened to Yu Xiaogang, thinking to himself that it was purely a case of a blind cat finding a dead mouse.

Glancing at Tang San's reaction, Xu Yuan secretly thought that the other party was being hoodwinked by Yu Xiaogang.

The next second, Tang San knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Xiaogang to acknowledge him as his master.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang was somewhat puzzled, not quite understanding Tang San's behavior.

Xu Yuan asked God King Tang San in his heart with a chuckle, "My Lord, should I also take him as my master?"

God King Tang San replied without a moment's hesitation, "No, I will teach you myself."

Back then, he had assumed Yu Xiaogang possessed genuine talent, only to realize later that Yu Xiaogang had simply been a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.

If he had followed Yu Xiaogang's path, God King Tang San felt that even becoming a god would have been a question mark.

"You... what are you doing?" Yu Xiaogang hurriedly reached out to help him up.

Tang San raised his head, a smudge of dust on his forehead, yet his eyes were exceptionally resolute: "Master, disciple Tang San is willing to take you as my teacher."

Yu Xiaogang finally reacted, his face instantly blooming with an excited flush, his voice even trembling slightly: "Good, good, good! Get up, quickly get up! From today on, you are the disciple of me, Yu Xiaogang!"

He patted Tang San on the shoulder, as if years of repression had vanished into thin air at this very moment.

Finally, someone was willing to believe in his theories!

Xiao Wu clicked her tongue in astonishment, tugging at Xu Yuan's sleeve: "Is Tang San stupid? He just listened to that uncle brag for a bit and decided to become his apprentice?"

Xu Yuan said indifferently: "Everyone has their own choices."
