After listening to Master Yu's "far-sighted" explanation, Tang San could only cry out in his heart, This is terrifying!
Amazing—simply amazing!
He had merely observed Lin Nuo's Martial Soul form from afar, yet he could accurately determine which soul beast suited him best?
And he had even thoughtfully provided a budget alternative!
Tang San secretly clenched his fists, his eyes brimming with admiration.
He truly had not chosen the wrong teacher!
Being able to cultivate under such a master, learned in all things ancient and modern, was undoubtedly the greatest opportunity he had encountered in his life!
Feeling his beloved disciple's worshipful gaze, Yu Xiaogang found it even harder to suppress the curve of his lips.
He still maintained that sorrowful, world-weary expression, raising his chin slightly as his nostrils pointed precisely forty-five degrees toward the sky.
His left hand was held stiffly across his chest, while his right was clasped mysteriously behind his back.
Just then, a ray of sunlight streamed through the window and fell squarely upon his meticulously groomed flat-top, faintly giving off a sheen of "wisdom."
During this period, Master Yu felt that he had completely figured things out.
No matter what difficulties Dong'er had faced that made her secretly send Lin Nuo right under his nose, since this peerless piece of uncut jade had delivered himself to his door, there was no way he could let him go!
On Tang San's side, he had the perfect experimental subject: a useless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. It was just right for verifying those theoretical hypotheses that the world mocked.
For instance, his Invincible Theory that a plant-type Martial Soul could absorb an animal-type poisonous Soul Ring.
Even if the Blue Silver Grass was ruined, it did not matter. Once Tang San reached the Soul Emperor level, he could simply make use of the vacant Soul Ring slots on his second Martial Soul. Even if he had to forcibly pile them on, he could still build him into a Title Douluo!
And Lin Nuo before him...
A fiery gleam flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
He would devote all the knowledge he had accumulated in his life to nurturing this Innate Full Soul Power genius with the top-tier Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul into the greatest of powerhouses!
Just imagine it: one day in the future, two Douluo from Yu Xiaogang's school would appear together, shaking both past and present.
At that time, would those old fossils from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who looked down on him, along with all those ants who despised him, dare not respectfully call him Master Yu?
Seeing Master Yu's smug expression, Lin Nuo was completely speechless.
Classic nonsense literature?
Listening to you was like listening to you?
Oh no, after laying out so much groundwork, this flat-top isn't planning to trick me into becoming his disciple too, is he?
Lin Nuo shuddered violently.
The Death Spider Emperor's Entangle was still chasing him!
Before he could say anything, Master Yu spoke first.
"Lin Nuo, there is no denying that your talent and the strength of your Martial Soul place you among the very best on Douluo Continent. Calling you a talent seen once in a century would not be an exaggeration."
Yu Xiaogang sighed earnestly, then abruptly changed his tone. "But you must understand that throughout history, there have been countless examples of people failing to fulfill their talent.
Even geniuses need a famous teacher's careful guidance and refinement. Otherwise, they will inevitably take the wrong path and ultimately fade into obscurity!"
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang raised his chin slightly and pointed at Tang San, who stood ramrod straight beside him. His tone was filled with pride.
"Take my beloved disciple Xiao San, for example.
Even though he awakened the Blue Silver Grass, a useless Martial Soul universally recognized across the continent, under the guidance of this master's Invincible Theory, it is merely a matter of time before he becomes a renowned powerhouse!"
"Not to mention that before long, this master will personally take him to hunt his first Soul Ring and prove to the world just how terrifying my theory truly is!"
Having said that, Master Yu tactically stopped there, once again clasping his hands behind his back and leaving Lin Nuo ample room to "reflect."
Tang San's gaze shifted slightly.
How could he fail to realize that his teacher had taken a liking to Lin Nuo's talent and wanted to take him under his wing as well?
Naturally, Tang San supported that with both hands.
He had always held a fire in his heart, vowing to restore the Tang Sect's supreme glory on Douluo Continent.
But what was most lacking when establishing a sect?
If Lin Nuo became his junior brother, then when the Tang Sect was founded in the future, would he not gain a helper for free?
Having considered this, Tang San decisively stepped forward, his tone carrying a hint of pride and recruitment.
"Lin Nuo, my teacher is the continent's most respected theoretical master."
"You saw it just now. With his keen eye, Teacher saw through the essence of your Martial Soul at a glance and planned out your path for you.
Having encountered such an outstanding guide, what are you still hesitating for?"
Tang San smiled faintly and extended what he believed was an extremely enticing olive branch.
"Why not become his disciple? In the future, the two of us, senior and junior brothers, can join forces and witness the ultimate heights of the Title Douluo together. Would that not be wonderful?"
Hearing his beloved disciple's praise, which was practically textbook-level flattery, Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched wildly as he desperately tried to suppress it. In the end, however, it still curled into an extremely pleased smile.
Truly worthy of being the virtuous disciple from his dreams!
That little mouth was sweet as honey. Since he knew how to talk, he should talk more!
Lin Nuo was practically amused by this.
Looking across all of Douluo Continent, there was absolutely no one who understood the true worth of this bizarre master-disciple pair better than he did.
How could he not know what little schemes they were harboring?
Even taking ten thousand steps back, if his Martial Souls were not the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor—
If he did not share Bibi Dong's appearance—
And if this flat-top did not intend to use him for those ridiculous theoretical experiments—
Then joining him would indeed have been a decent choice.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
If he dared join today, what awaited him in the future would surely be the God King's reckoning.
A crystal-clear image of the future even automatically surfaced in Lin Nuo's mind—
Sea God Tang San raised the Trident and pointed at him righteously as he shouted, "Lin Nuo! Since you look so much like that evil Bibi Dong, you must have countless ties to her! You have taken the Way of Seeking Death!"
"Master Yu, I have my own plans for my cultivation."
"I'm afraid I cannot enjoy the blessings of your Invincible Theory."
Lin Nuo spoke calmly, his eyes filled with refusal.
Yet Master Yu became anxious.
Not become his disciple?
How could that do!
If he did not become his disciple, how could he prove to the world that his theories were invincible?
How would he make Dong'er see him in a new light and regret everything by training Lin Nuo?
"You have your own plans? Based on those few trash books you were flipping through just now?"
Master Yu snorted heavily, suddenly turning away and forcefully clasping his hands behind his back as he assumed a look of deep grief and indignation.
"You have no idea how deep the waters of the Soul Master world are. A child like you cannot grasp them at all!
Do not think that having good talent means you can be arrogant and reckless without a care!"
He turned his face slightly, glancing at Lin Nuo from the corner of his eye. His tone was icy to the extreme. "Lin Nuo, you have no idea what kind of opportunity you are refusing!"
