The Rougher the Waters, the Pricier the Fish!

The Rougher the Waters, the Pricier the Fish!

This time, Tang San truly did not dare move.

His entire body stiffened as he said, "How is that possible?! How could you escape the lock of my eyes?"

At that moment, all the illusions Xiao Tian had created vanished. Xiao Tian said disdainfully, "What eyes? Those eyes of yours that suddenly turn purple?

Haven't you heard the saying? Nothing can withstand speed! Your eyes simply can't keep up with my speed.

Do you still want to continue?"

As Xiao Tian spoke, Sword Fifteen in his hand moved a little closer to Tang San. For the sake of his own life, Tang San said with an unwilling expression, "I concede!"

Just as Xiao Tian expected, the Silly System's voice rang out in his mind again.

Holy shit! Host, you're awesome! You actually defeated Tang God King again—and this time, Tang God King even used Mother Entanglement! This System is shocked once more.

But Host, This System thinks it is necessary to remind you again: Killing God Tang Hao nearly couldn't resist making a move just now. If your sword had truly gone down...

Xiao Tian naturally understood this perfectly well, but he only said one thing to the system.

"System, do you know what fishermen say? The rougher the waters, the pricier the fish! This is high risk, high reward! So where's my reward?"

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for triggering a Critical Reward. You have obtained "Three Absolute Sword Qi" and one God-Given Spirit Ring.

Good, good, good. Just as he had expected—high risk, high reward. He wondered whether he could trigger a Critical Reward every time he beat Tang San up.

Xiao Tian's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at the pale-faced Tang San.

Tang San suddenly felt a chill run down his back, and an ominous feeling welled up within him.

Still, although he had lost today's duel, it was not without gains. Xiao Tian had used another new Self-Created Soul Skill today, one that could create so many afterimages. He definitely had to ask about it when he got the chance.

Then, Tang San forced a smile and said to Xiao Tian, "Xiao Tian, you really are impressive. I'm completely convinced by my defeat. That was Sword Intent just now, wasn't it? It actually broke through in the middle of the fight. I didn't lose unfairly."

Did Tang San think Xiao Tian could not hear the hidden meaning in his words?

If your Sword Intent had not suddenly broken through, I definitely would have won in the end.

Tang San was surprisingly good at acting sweet and innocent.

Fine, that worked out perfectly!

Xiao Tian grinned at Tang San. "Yeah, if my Sword Intent hadn't suddenly broken through, I really might have lost! Tang San, I've noticed that every time I fight you, I improve. Over the next six years, I'll come spar with you from time to time. You don't mind, do you?

After all, you have Innate Full Soul Power. You wouldn't refuse the request of a classmate like me with only level-five Innate Soul Power, would you?"

Trying to out-sweet-talk him? As if he did not know how!

Tang San's mouth twitched. Now he understood why his back had felt cold. He really had brought this upon himself with his big mouth!

He could only force a smile. "Of course, of course. I'd be delighted."

But since things had come to this, he could only accept. He refused to believe that he would keep losing forever.

Besides, he could use this opportunity to build a good relationship with Xiao Tian and find a chance to ask about his circumstances, to determine whether Xiao Tian had come from another plane like him.

He did not believe Xiao Tian was clever enough to truly create so many Soul Skills on his own. Even he himself could not do that. Moreover, he had indirectly asked his teacher about it, and this world simply did not have things like cultivation techniques or martial skills—only simple Soul Power cultivation paths.

"Xiao Tian, can you tell me now whether you are willing to become my Outer Disciple? I can see that you have quite good comprehension. Although your Innate Soul Power is a little low, you actually managed to comprehend Sword Intent.

You may not know this, but I am the Wisdom Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle, renowned throughout the continent. During my travels across the continent, I encountered quite a few powerful Soul Masters with Sword Martial Souls, including Sword Douluo Chen Xin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Compared to his, your Sword Intent is truly far too weak. If you take me as your teacher, I can tell you about it. I have quite a bit of insight in this area as well."

Xiao Tian looked at Yu Xiaogang's narcissistic and arrogant expression and was utterly speechless. You understand swords?

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang was secretly overjoyed!

Although Tang San's defeat had surprised him somewhat, he had also confirmed that Xiao Tian's martial soul, like his own Luo Sanpao, possessed independent consciousness!

A commoner Soul Master with no background, ordinary talent, and monstrous comprehension like this was perfectly suited to become his research subject!

This time, Xiao Tian was not as hostile as before. After figuring out the system's reward mechanism, he felt that it was not wise to have an excessively serious conflict with Yu Xiaogang right now.

Why?

Because he was kind!

After all, they would see each other every day, and he still had six years to study at Notting Academy. During those six years, he could squeeze Tang San for all he was worth!

Xiao Tian: Yu Xiaogang, you really ought to thank your disciple Tang San for being useful to me.

So—

Xiao Tian said tactfully, "Grandmaster, you are a theory master renowned across the continent, as well as the Wisdom Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle. I heard that your Trinity Fusion Skill was even led by you. Tang San has Innate Full Soul Power, so taking him as your disciple is no loss.

But if the world learned that you had accepted someone like me, with only level-five Innate Soul Power, as your disciple, people would probably look down on you.

Therefore, please forgive me for being unable to agree to your request.

However, I'm rather thick-skinned. During these six years, could I come and ask you for guidance on swordsmanship from time to time?"

Xiao Tian's words had elevated Yu Xiaogang to great heights, praising him lavishly!

You are such a famous person, after all. Surely you could not accept an ordinary commoner Soul Master like me as your disciple, or you would not be able to save face.

And as everyone knew, Yu Xiaogang was an exceptionally vain man!

Yu Xiaogang's face twitched. That was indeed the case. The reason he had remained at Notting Academy for so many years, aside from avoiding Liu Erlong, was to see whether there were any students worthy of catching his eye.

The good news was that he had found one this year: Tang San, who possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power. He could take him as a disciple and use him to prove to the world that his theories were correct—that he was not useless, and that his martial soul theories were the best on the entire continent!

The bad news was that Tang San had a powerful background. Behind him stood the fearsome Clear Sky Douluo, which meant that if he wanted to test his theories, he had to ask Tang San for his own opinion first!

"Fine, then I won't force you. When you have the chance, come sit in my office with Tang San."

Yu Xiaogang could only give up, then left with Tang San.

"Xiao Tian, you're really amazing! By the way, what level is your soul power now?"

Only now did Xiao Wu dare step forward. When Xiao Tian had suddenly unleashed that powerful Sword Intent earlier, she had not dared approach carelessly.

She was now curious about just how high Xiao Tian's soul power level was. How could he be so strong?

Even if he could wield such powerful Sword Intent, it would still be impossible without sufficient soul power to support it, right?
