Yu Xiaogang came downstairs and suddenly noticed a cute young girl.
There was a boy beside her. They were both wearing school uniforms and hurrying toward the dormitory.
"Is this the little girl Haotian Douluo told me about?"
"Haotian Douluo must have taken a liking to her talent and wants her to become an asset to Little San."
"Who's the person beside her? I remember now. He's that crafty brat from a year ago!"
"Hmph, he sees that Xiao Wu has Innate Full Soul Power and a bright future, so he wants to latch onto her?"
"What a scheming little wretch! I can't let him hold Xiao Wu back from her cultivation!"
Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang stepped in front of them.
"Grandmaster? What do you want?" Li Ping'an asked curiously, unsure why Yu Xiaogang had stopped him.
Looking at Xiao Wu, Yu Xiaogang said, "Xiao Wu, I know about you. You have Innate Full Soul Power and quite the talent!"
"But at your age, you should be focusing on cultivation, not hanging around with trash like him."
Li Ping'an hadn't even had a chance to retort before Xiao Wu lost her temper.
She frowned and stepped in front of Li Ping'an. "Uncle, who are you calling trash?"
"Li Ping'an isn't trash. You're the trash!"
Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale. Xiao Wu's words had cut him to the quick.
Back when he was with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, plenty of people had called him trash behind his back.
Later, when he left the clan, those people had even dared to call him trash to his face.
He never imagined that even after becoming a theoretical master, someone would still dare to call him trash.
Hmph, if Haotian Crown hadn't given me instructions, I'd teach her a lesson today! Yu Xiaogang thought.
Still, he argued back, "If he isn't trash, then who is?"
"He has a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and only one level of Innate Soul Power. It's anyone's guess whether he'll even graduate from Notting Academy!"
"Tang San also had Innate Full Soul Power, and he's already at level eighteen."
"And you? How much Soul Power do you have, spending all your time playing with trash like him?"
Yu Xiaogang was confident. He believed Tang San's cultivation speed, under his tutelage, was unprecedented.
And even if Xiao Wu had been cultivating diligently, she should only be around level fourteen by now.
"Hmph, only level eighteen? I'm almost level twenty already!" Xiao Wu was about to argue.
But then she remembered the system's warning: she was still under the watch of a Titled Douluo.
It would be best to hide her true strength so she could escape that Titled Douluo's surveillance in the future.
"Hmph, what business is it of yours how I cultivate? You're not even a teacher at this academy. What gives you the right to order me around?"
With that, Xiao Wu took Li Ping'an by the hand and headed toward Dorm Seven.
Her Soul Power was only a tiny bit short of breaking through to level twenty. She had simply used the Breath Concealment Technique to show only level fourteen.
"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you!"
In twenty years, he had never met anyone who showed such contempt for his status.
Even the Academy Dean of Notting Academy treated him with great respect.
Still, he urged her, "Xiao Wu, if you change your mind, you can come find me!"
"Study under me, and with my guidance, your Soul Power can advance as quickly as Tang San's."
"One day, you could even claim a place among the Titled Douluo!"
Xiao Wu looked back and pulled a face at him. "Shameless! A Soul Grandmaster dares to claim he can raise a Titled Douluo!"
With that, she followed Li Ping'an back to the dormitory.
What she didn't know was that Li Ping'an had secretly sent Yu Xiaogang a system.
"Outrageous! I was only trying to help her, and this is how she treats me!"
Yu Xiaogang was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it.
If Xiao Wu had been willing to become his unofficial disciple, she could have trained with Tang San.
Then he wouldn't have had to Soul Fight with Tang San. His Luo Sanpao simply wasn't suited for Soul Fighting.
The more Yu Xiaogang thought about it, the angrier he got. Suddenly, his vision went black, and his heart skipped a beat.
"It's over. What's happening to me? Have I gotten so angry that I'm about to die?"
The next moment, his vision lit up again, and a screen appeared before him.
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Fame Across the Continent System!] [This system will help you make a name for yourself across the entire Douluo Continent and make everyone who looked down on you tremble!] [Would you like to bind this system?]
"System? What's a system?" Yu Xiaogang was stunned.
"Could this be some kind of Soul Skill? Have I been hit by someone's mental attack Soul Skill?"
His first thought was that he had been hit by some kind of Soul Skill that caused hallucinations.
He turned and headed upstairs, only to find that the screen followed him like a shadow.
Perhaps because he had responded, the words on the screen changed.
[This system can help you break through the level-twenty-nine bottleneck. Would you like to bind this system?]
"Could it really not be a Soul Skill?" Yu Xiaogang thought as he looked at the words on the screen.
Whether it was making a name for himself across the Douluo Continent and finally getting his revenge on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Spirit Hall;
Or breaking through the level-twenty-nine bottleneck and resolving the knot in his heart, both were things he wanted.
So Yu Xiaogang couldn't help murmuring, "What would happen if I bound it?"
[System binding in progress!] [Fame Across the Continent System successfully bound!] [Congratulations, host! You have received a beginner's gift pack!]
The words on the screen flashed. Seeing that nothing seemed wrong with his body, Yu Xiaogang let out a breath of relief.
"Could it really not be someone's Soul Skill?"
Yu Xiaogang tried opening the system's beginner's gift pack!
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a cultivation manual: Evil-Warding Sword Manual!] [Evil-Warding Sword Manual: To master this art, you must first castrate yourself. Cut off your manhood, and you shall rule the continent!]
"What the hell! It wants me to castrate myself?" Yu Xiaogang cursed.
That thing wasn't any use to him, but that didn't mean he wanted to cut it off!
So it really is an illusion. I wonder who's playing a trick on me! Yu Xiaogang thought.
Whoever had used an illusion Soul Skill on him was probably hoping to watch him castrate himself and become a laughingstock.
Hmph, I'm not completely powerless! Yu Xiaogang thought.
"My detached Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, may be connected to my mind, but it has a mind of its own!"
"I may have been hit by your Soul Skill, but Luo Sanpao wasn't!"
"Sanpao, it's up to you!"
Yu Xiaogang summoned Luo Sanpao and immediately recited a Soul Skill incantation.
"Fart like thunder, shatter heaven and earth—Luo Sanpao!"
Luo Sanpao froze for a moment. Although it was connected to Yu Xiaogang's mind,
it clearly hadn't spotted any target. Why unleash a Soul Skill with no target? What if it hurt its master?
But Yu Xiaogang had already finished chanting the incantation and activated the Soul Ring beneath his feet.
So Luo Sanpao had no choice but to leap into the air and release a yellow barrier.
With a rumble, it sounded like thunder.
The barrier immediately swept everything flat. The things in Yu Xiaogang's room were scattered across the floor by the rush of yellow light.
Yu Xiaogang's already meager belongings had suffered another blow.
More importantly, he was struck by the shock wave himself. It sent him flying into the wall, where he hung for a while before finally dropping down.
"Urgh—Luo Sanpao, attack the enemy! Why are you hitting me?"
