Yu Xiaogang's Dream-Answering Virtuous Disciple

"Presumptuous--!!!"

"You brat, your audacity is simply beyond reason!"

"Do you have any idea how much damage your words just now have caused to a scholar who has dedicated his entire life to theoretical research?"

"The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul are the salvational truths I, Yu Xiaogang, the number one theoretical master on this continent, have researched with all my heart and soul after a lifetime of exploration! Do you know how many Soul Masters on this Douluo Continent would have ended up exploding and dying, leaving not even a bone behind, due to blindly absorbing soul rings if not for the foundation provided by this great theory?!"

"And this highly advanced Martial Soul Mimicry Theory—it was I who broke the shackles of centuries of convention! Who says plant-type martial souls can only absorb plant-type soul rings? That beast-type martial souls cannot absorb plant-type soul rings?! As long as specific prerequisites are met, these two categories of martial souls and soul rings can be adapted and absorbed across categories."

"Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is inherently weak; if he doesn't absorb a snake-type soul ring to increase the toughness of his martial soul, then this martial soul of his is truly wasted!"

"You brat, you don't know anything, yet you stand there spouting nonsense. How dare you recklessly slander such a peerless theory that can save lives and open up new horizons?!"

"Speak! What is your true intention?"

At the entrance of Nuoding Academy, a truly comical scene was unfolding.

A sexy man with a flat top had eyes burning red, panting like an ox as he roared furiously at the cold, handsome young man before him.

Initially, upon learning that a child named Tang San in this year's batch possessed innate full soul power with Blue Silver Grass, his first thought was that it was impossible!

But the proof from Martial Soul Hall could not possibly be forged!

Thus, having ruled out all impossibilities, no matter how bizarre the matter was, it had to be the truth!

After frantic deliberation, Yu Xiaogang's flat-topped head arrived at an answer that made him so happy he nearly fainted!

This child named Tang San must possess an extremely powerful second martial soul to have attained the talent of innate full soul power!

His dream disciple!

Yu Xiaogang believed with confidence that only a number one wise man of the continent like himself could cultivate a child with such talent!

Because of the defects in his own martial soul, he had been unable to break through to level 30 his entire life. If he wanted his name to resound throughout the entire Douluo Continent, he had to find another way.

Although Yu Xiaogang had already gained considerable status by publishing his theoretical masterpiece, Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, it was clear he was not satisfied!

But the appearance of Tang San seemed to make everything better!

If the other party became a peerless powerhouse under the cultivation of him, the number one theoretical master of the continent, wouldn't his name be passed down through the ages on the Douluo Continent alongside Tang San's in the future?

He had almost successfully hoodwinked the silly boy into his own hands, but who would have thought that just as Tang San was about to take him as his master, this pretty boy appeared and disrupted all his plans.

Be that as it may, what he said was indeed the truth.

However, looking at how young the other party was...

If the fellow didn't immediately kowtow and apologize, he would definitely make this ignorant brat know what the might of a Soul Grand Master truly was!

The young man was named Jiang Li. After arriving on the Douluo Continent, his system had left him with a Blue Silver King martial soul and a Ten Thousand Soul Banner—ah, ptooey, a Human Emperor Banner that coolly emitted black mist—before falling silent.

It wasn't until a short while ago, when he absorbed his seventh soul ring and became a Soul Saint, that his system showed signs of activity again.

On the blue light screen that only he could see, a single line of text appeared.

[Take Tang San as your disciple. Reward: First martial soul evolves into Blue Silver Emperor, second martial soul Human Emperor Banner unlocks more wondrous uses! As the bond between the host and Tang San deepens, you will obtain a series of rewards including soul bones, soul rings, and godhood!]

Originally, Jiang Li had intended to head into Nuoding City before the plot began to claim that hundred-thousand-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit and the hundred-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone for himself.

But when the system appeared once more, he changed his mind immediately.

Isn't it just taking Tang San as a disciple?

Take him! It is Tang San he shall take!

After all, if one had to say who was the source of all evil during the Martial Soul Hall era of the Douluo Continent.

Tracing the root of the matter, it really wasn't that little brat who held two gods in one body.

One must know that if it weren't for Gangzi provoking Bibi Dong in his youth for the sake of his own ambition, the other party would never have been corrupted.

Without a corrupted Bibi Dong, she wouldn't have fed Qian Xunji to the spiders, and Qian Daoliu would still have had his agreement with Tang Chen; even because of Ah Yin, that hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, things wouldn't have escalated to such a point with the Clear Sky Sect.

Then naturally, Tang San, having grown up in the Clear Sky Sect, would not have been taught to become that "pure and holy" Tang Buddha.

Yu Xiaogang: "Xiao San, your greatest weakness is that your heart is too soft."

Tang San: "Teacher, I understand!"

Yu Xiaogang: "Xiao San, look, you've become a god now. When you ascend, shouldn't you bring your teacher to the God Realm to enjoy life?"

God King Tang San: "Gangzi, you broke through level 30, and you're still not satisfied?"

His future "good" disciple was someone who had carved Confucian classics into his very bones, always believing in the Confucian order of Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Kin, and Teacher.

As an orphan for nearly two lifetimes, he was far too easily influenced by those abstract ideas of Yu Xiaogang.

But then again...

As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life!

If the master is a father, then Jiang Li thinks that Ah Yin is also still quite charming!

"It seems you are getting anxious, Master Yu."

"Why don't you tell me how a waste who couldn't even break through to level 30 in his entire life knows the absorption limits for soul rings over a thousand years?"

"Furthermore, such knowledge is not something a mere Soul Grand Master should possess."

Jiang Li chuckled, but his words struck straight at Yu Xiaogang's sore spot.

Yu Xiaogang instantly turned beet red, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his breathing visibly quickening.

He certainly knew where his theories came from, but at the end of the day, how could a scholar's borrowing be called plagiarism?

"Kid, it seems today this Master must let you know that as your senior, I possess more than just world-shaking wisdom; my strength is also formidable!"

"Come out, Luo Sanpao!"

Yu Xiaogang roared, and at his shout, a strange creature resembling both a pig and a dog appeared at his feet, nuzzling affectionately against his trouser leg.

Oink, oink, oink.

Immediately following, two yellow century-level soul rings spiraled neatly beneath his feet.
