Tang San, standing nearby, cried out in his heart after hearing Master Yu's "far-sighted" explanation. Terrifying indeed!
Amazing—simply amazing!
He had merely observed Lin Nuo's martial soul from afar, yet he could accurately determine which soul beasts suited him best?
And he had even thoughtfully provided backup options!
Tang San secretly clenched his fists, his eyes filled with admiration.
He really had not chosen the wrong teacher!
To cultivate under such a learned master, one versed in ancient and modern knowledge, was truly the greatest opportunity he had encountered in his life!
Feeling his beloved disciple's worshipful gaze, Yu Xiaogang could no longer suppress the curve of his lips.
He maintained that compassionate, world-weary expression, slightly raised his chin, and precisely angled his nostrils forty-five degrees toward the heavens.
His left hand was posed across his chest, while his right hand rested mysteriously behind his back.
Just then, a ray of sunlight streamed through the window and fell squarely upon his impeccably groomed flat-top, faintly giving off a sheen of "wisdom."
During this time, Master Yu felt that he had thoroughly figured things out.
No matter what difficulties Dong'er had faced that made her secretly send Lin Nuo to him, since this peerless piece of uncut jade had delivered himself to his door, there was no way he would let him go!
Tang San, meanwhile, was the perfect experimental subject: a useless Blue Silver Grass martial soul. He could use him to verify those theoretical conjectures that the world had mocked.
For instance, his Invincible Theory that a plant-type martial soul could absorb an animal-type poison-attributed soul ring.
Even if the Blue Silver Grass ended up ruined, it did not matter. Once Tang San reached the Soul Emperor rank, he could simply use the vacant soul ring slots on his second martial soul. Even if he had to force it, he could still pile him into a Title Douluo!
And Lin Nuo before him...
A fiery glint flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
He would devote everything he had learned 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 appearing together, shaking past and present alike.
When that time came, would those old fossils from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who looked down on him, along with all those insects who despised him, dare not respectfully address him as Master Yu?
Seeing Master Yu's smug expression, Lin Nuo was completely speechless.
Classic nonsense literature?
Listening to your words was like listening to your words?
Damn it, after laying all that groundwork, is this flat-top trying to trick me into becoming his disciple too?
Lin Nuo suddenly shuddered.
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 genius seen only once in a century would not be an exaggeration."
Yu Xiaogang sighed earnestly, then abruptly changed tack. "But you must understand that throughout history, there have been countless examples of people failing to fulfill their talents.
Even geniuses require the careful polishing of a famous teacher. Otherwise, they will inevitably take the wrong path and ultimately fade into mediocrity!"
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang slightly raised his chin and pointed toward Tang San, who stood ramrod straight beside him. His tone brimmed with pride.
"Take my beloved disciple Xiao San, for example.
Even though he awakened the Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul recognized as such 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 plenty of room to "contemplate."
Tang San's gaze shifted slightly.
How could he fail to see that his teacher had taken a liking to Lin Nuo's talent and wanted to take him in as well?
Naturally, he supported it with both hands.
He had always held a fire in his heart, swearing to restore the Tang Sect's supreme glory on Douluo Continent.
But what did founding a sect lack the most?
If Lin Nuo became his junior brother, then once the Tang Sect was established, would he not gain a helper for free?
Having thought that through, Tang San decisively stepped forward, his voice carrying a touch of pride and recruitment.
"Lin Nuo, my teacher is the continent's most respected master of theory."
"You saw it just now. With a single glance, Teacher saw through the essence of your martial soul and planned out your path for you.
Having encountered such an outstanding guide, what are you still hesitating for?"
Tang San smiled slightly and extended what he believed was an extremely tempting olive branch.
"Why not acknowledge him as your master? In the future, the two of us, senior and junior brothers, can join forces and behold the ultimate heights of the Title Douluo together. Would that not be wonderful?"
Hearing his beloved disciple's textbook-worthy flattery, Yu Xiaogang's lips, which he had desperately been trying to press down, twitched wildly before finally curving into a deeply pleased smile.
As expected of the worthy disciple from his dreams!
That little mouth was sweet as honey. If you could speak, then speak more!
Lin Nuo was nearly amused.
Across all of Douluo Continent, there was absolutely no one who understood the worth of this absurd master-disciple pair better than he did.
Did he not know what little scheme they were plotting?
Even taking ten thousand steps back, if his martial souls were not the Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Eater Spider Emperor—
If he did not have the same appearance model as Bibi Dong—
And if this flat-top did not intend to use him for those absurd theoretical experiments, joining him would actually have been a decent choice.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
If he dared join today, what awaited him in the future would inevitably be the God King's reckoning.
Lin Nuo's mind even automatically produced a crystal-clear image of the future—
Sea God Tang San held the Trident aloft and pointed at him with righteous indignation as he shouted, "Lin Nuo! Since you look so much like that Evil Bibi Dong, you must have countless ties to her! You have chosen the Way of Seeking Death!"
"Master Yu, I have my own plans for my cultivation."
"I'm afraid I cannot enjoy your Invincible Theory."
Lin Nuo spoke calmly, rejection written all over his eyes.
Yet Master Yu became anxious.
Not acknowledge him as master?
How could that be allowed!
If you do not become my disciple, how can I prove to the world that my theory is invincible?
How will I use training you to make Dong'er see me in a new light and regret everything?
"You have your own plans? Based on those few lousy books you were flipping through just now?"
Master Yu snorted heavily, abruptly turned around, and forcefully clasped his hands behind his back, putting on an expression of grief and indignation.
"Do you have any idea how deep the waters of the soul master world run? You are just a child. You cannot grasp them at all!
Do not think that because you have good talent, you can be arrogant and act without restraint!"
He turned his face slightly, glancing at Lin Nuo from the corner of his eye. His voice was ice-cold. "Lin Nuo, you have no idea what kind of opportunity you are rejecting!"
