Hearing Jiang Li explain the conditions required for Twin Martial Souls to appear, Yu Xiaogang felt as if someone had struck him hard on the head with a giant hammer.
That was right. His magnum opus, Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, had mentioned that a Soul Master's innate Soul Power level directly reflected the quality of their Martial Soul, and that a Soul Master would inevitably inherit the higher-quality Martial Soul of their parents.
If both parents' Martial Souls were similar in quality, their child had a tiny chance of awakening Twin Martial Souls.
How could he have forgotten such a simple principle?
Once he came to his senses, Yu Xiaogang kept stammering, "This is impossible!"
Could Tang San's Martial Soul really be nothing more than an ordinary mutated Blue Silver Grass?
Yu Xiaogang found it unbelievable. He had confidently observed Tang San's Martial Soul before, and it looked almost exactly like the Blue Silver Grass found everywhere along the roadside, showing no signs of mutation whatsoever.
But he soon recovered. So what if Tang San had only one Martial Soul?
His mutated Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had given him the talent of Innate Full Soul Power. If Yu Xiaogang took him in and carefully studied his mutated Martial Soul, perhaps Luo Sanpao could find a way to break through its shackles!
And eventually evolve into the Golden Sacred Dragon, one step at a time!
"Xiao San, don't listen to his nonsense. Although the theories I told you at first had some problems, you have to believe me: no one in this world but me can bring out your full potential!"
"This kid is so young. At a glance, you can tell he's the sort who goes around conning people. Xiao San, don't let him fool you!"
"On Douluo Continent, every Soul Master can only have one teacher in their lifetime. If you take this kid as your teacher, your whole life will be ruined!"
"Besides, I'm the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Xiao San, if you become my disciple, I can give you everything you want!"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San found them unbearably grating.
Having lived two lifetimes, he naturally had a scale of his own in his heart.
What Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
He'd never even heard of it. It had to be some backwater clan.
What's more, ever since learning that the world he now lived in wasn't the world of the Bashu Tang Sect from his previous life, he'd had a dream: to make the Tang Sect flourish again in this other world!
If he really took that useless little flathead as his teacher, wouldn't that mean the Tang Sect he built in the future would become an affiliated sect of that backwater clan because of their ties as master and disciple?
Wouldn't the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons and Tang Sect Unique Skills all become the property of that so-called Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
That little flathead really was asking for death!
Tang San casually glanced at Jiang Li beside him, and a different thought took shape in his heart.
Though the senior before him looked young, he had defeated that little flathead with a single move. He must be a strong expert.
To be honest, Tang San already felt an urge to take him as his teacher.
Most importantly, the senior's Martial Soul was also Blue Silver Grass, just like his!
He must know how to help Tang San cultivate his Blue Silver Grass more smoothly!
And Tang San had just heard that little flathead say that Soul Masters needed to obtain Soul Rings to advance.
A powerful master would surely be able to choose better, more suitable Soul Rings for his disciple!
But before that, he still needed to confirm that his future master had genuine ability, rather than being an empty showpiece like that useless little flathead.
"Senior, forgive Tang San for being presumptuous, but may I ask about your cultivation level...?"
Tang San bowed respectfully to Jiang Li. He knew that one should show basic respect to the strong.
"Xiao San, it's right for you to have your own ideas. On Douluo Continent, Soul Masters break through a bottleneck every ten levels after obtaining the corresponding Soul Ring, and they also receive the title for their new level."
"Starting from Soul Scholar, then Soul Grandmaster... all the way to the lofty rank of Titled Douluo."
As Jiang Li spoke, a series of orderly Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!
Seven neat Soul Rings circled beneath his feet. The unique pressure of a Soul Saint radiated from him, as if intentionally, as if not.
Tang San wasn't foolish. For someone so young to be a Soul Saint, it was only a matter of time before he became a lofty Titled Douluo!
The Grandmaster Su Yuntao, who had awakened his Martial Soul, had only two of those circles called Soul Rings.
This senior named Jiang Li not only had seven Soul Rings, but was also so young!
"Master, please accept Xiao San as your disciple!"
Once he'd made up his mind, Tang San promptly knelt before Jiang Li and knocked his head against the ground three times.
Jiang Li was overjoyed. The corners of his mouth lifted so high he couldn't suppress his smile.
Putting on the same false air as Yu Xiaogang, he said, "Oh, Xiao San, what are you doing? Get up, quickly. Bowing like that is a ritual reserved for kings and parents."
Yet Tang San, still kneeling on the ground, stubbornly shook his head. "A teacher for a day is a father for life. Since you've become my master, you're entitled to accept my kowtow!"
At the same time, the blue light screen that only Jiang Li could see appeared before his eyes once more.
In the rewards column, a button labeled "Claim Reward" had appeared. He only needed to will it, and he could claim the reward and evolve his Martial Soul.
"Good lad. Don't worry, your master will definitely train you into an unparalleled expert!"
As Jiang Li spoke, he helped Tang San to his feet. He couldn't have been more pleased with such a filial, well-behaved disciple.
Watching this scene of a loving master and dutiful disciple, Yu Xiaogang, bound up like a dumpling, felt a rush of sweetness rise in his throat.
Tang San had been the disciple he'd set his sights on first!
His hope of breaking through level 30!
Even without Twin Martial Souls, with that talent of Innate Full Soul Power, Tang San was all but guaranteed to become a Titled Douluo someday!
Thinking of how his hope of breaking through and his chance to make a name for himself had vanished with a snap, Yu Xiaogang felt his head grow dizzy.
He drew a deep breath and roared toward Tang San, "Tang San, you'll regret not choosing me as your master today!"
Immediately afterward, Yu Xiaogang fainted on the spot.
"Master, this..."
"Xiao San, ignore that good-for-nothing. Take care of your enrollment matters today. We'll be living here for a while."
