He'd even come out with a line that sharp, and he still wouldn't stop!
As the "young sect master" of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang had his own pride.
Under normal circumstances, if he kept talking, that would be the real shocker.
But today was different!
The unpolished jade that could prove his worth was right before his eyes. How could he possibly hold back?
With a single leap, he unleashed his Soul Power, which had reached level 29. As Tang San watched him warily, Yu Xiaogang stepped in front of the two of them.
Then he slowly raised one hand and spoke with the air of a grandmaster.
"Hold it!"
"You can leave, but he can't!"
Pointing at Qin Yun to signal that he should go, Yu Xiaogang focused all his attention on Tang San.
Seeing that Tang San not only failed to understand him, but even showed hostility, Gangzi spoke earnestly, hoping to avoid damaging their future master-disciple relationship.
"Don't misunderstand. This is a matter of great importance. There really can't be anyone else here besides you and me."
"Hmph!"
Tang San snorted. He had no goodwill toward the man in front of him.
Under normal circumstances, if Gangzi dared to do this, Tang San would have already sent a Silent Sleeve Arrow his way.
But remembering Qin Yun's earlier warning, Tang San suppressed the urge to kill him.
"Lord Soul Master, you may not know this, but Brother Yun is my dearest friend, my sworn brother.
To us, you're the outsider!"
Gangzi: "..."
"Actually, I'm not a teacher at the academy. I'm only staying here temporarily because I'm well-versed in theoretical knowledge and know the dean."
You're not even a teacher, so what the hell are you talking about?
Seeing that Tang San could no longer hide the disgust in his eyes, and that he was about to leave with Qin Yun, Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to keep them both there.
"Very well. Since you trust him, you can both stay.
Boy, you're lucky today. With my guidance, your future path of cultivation will be smooth sailing!"
To keep Tang San there, Gangzi skipped the trash talk and got straight to the point.
"Student, if I'm not mistaken, besides your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, you should have another Martial Soul as well!
What is your other Martial Soul? Show it to me!"
If Tang San had just entered the world and knew nothing, perhaps Gangzi's words really could have bluffed him.
But ever since Qin Yun had begun teaching him, Tang San had gained a certain understanding of the Martial Soul system on Douluo Continent.
Though he was still green, he was no longer someone Gangzi could fool so easily.
"Lord Soul Master, I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying."
"Heh. Caution is a good thing, but there's no need to pretend in front of me, Yu Xiaogang!"
With his arms folded, Gangzi showed unprecedented confidence when discussing theoretical knowledge.
"I once investigated 647 people whose Martial Souls were Blue Silver Grass. Sixteen of them had Soul Power, a rate of less than three percent.
And among those sixteen, not one had Soul Power exceeding level one. But judging from your earlier conversation with the gatekeeper, you have Innate Full Soul Power at level ten.
According to one of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul that I researched, innate Soul Power is proportional to the quality of one's Martial Soul.
Clearly, Blue Silver Grass doesn't meet that standard. So I can say with certainty that you should have another Martial Soul, and a very powerful one at that!"
His reasoning was sound. Aside from the fact that eavesdropping on their conversation was a little impolite, there was nothing wrong with it.
After hearing that, you should bow your head and become my disciple, right?
Even Gangzi himself hadn't expected this. He had merely been mooching off Nuoding Academy.
Clinging to a single obsession, every time new students enrolled, he would come by and try his luck, hoping to find a disciple of extraordinary talent and prove himself to the world.
Unfortunately, after all these years, he had never found a suitable candidate.
He hadn't expected to have such luck this year!
But just as Gangzi thought success was certain, and that as long as Tang San wasn't stupid, he would choose to become his disciple after being guided by him,
Tang San couldn't help but laugh inwardly at Gangzi's theory.
So that was what this was about!
Looking at Gangzi's arrogant expression, then at the sect master beside him, who revealed nothing of his abilities,
Tang San couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Sometimes, the gap between people really was greater than the gap between a person and a pig!
Yu Xiaogang and Qin Yun perfectly embodied the difference between someone who was only half full and someone filled to the brim: the half-full one sloshed, while the full one made no sound!
"What? Was I wrong? Or are you questioning my theory?"
"Lord Soul Master, I think you may have misunderstood.
I may not be a powerhouse, but I've heard a few theories.
Twin Martial Souls can only occur when the Martial Souls of both parents are of similar quality.
In other words, if someone has Twin Martial Souls, then both of their Martial Souls must either be strong or weak.
That alone makes the theory you just gave rather shaky.
As for why I have Innate Full Soul Power, could there be a chance that my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass?"
"This..."
It was a completely unprecedented theory. For a moment, Gangzi was so stunned he couldn't think straight.
Could Twin Martial Souls really come about under those conditions?
Why wasn't it recorded in the records of Spirit Hall or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Could the people who compiled those records at least have put in a little effort? This was nothing but a trap for a plagiarist like him!
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible. I've never heard of any such theory.
Someone must have deceived you. This unverified theory is complete nonsense!
And you say your Martial Soul isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Could it have mutated? A rare beneficial mutation, perhaps?"
Seeing that Gangzi was determined to get to the bottom of it, Tang San opened his right hand and slowly circulated his Soul Power to keep the secret of his Twin Martial Souls from being exposed.
Then, a Blue Silver Grass teeming with vitality bloomed in his right hand.
"As you can see, the plant in my hand isn't Blue Silver Grass. To be precise, it should be the Blue Silver King!
The Spirit Hall deacon simply didn't know enough to recognize it back then."
Gangzi leaned in for a closer look.
To be honest, Gangzi didn't know much about Blue Silver Grass either.
And the Blue Silver Grass and Blue Silver King were extremely similar.
Forget Su Yuntao and Gangzi—even Qin Yun himself wouldn't have noticed the difference if he hadn't already known.
Still, although things had gotten a little awkward earlier, Gangzi had thick enough skin not to care.
"Looking closely, it is indeed a little different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but that doesn't matter.
Although you don't have the rarest Twin Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power is still impressive.
As long as you become my disciple, I can guarantee that with my theoretical guidance, you'll become one of the top powerhouses on the continent.
You may even become a Titled Douluo!"
