Great Master: My Second Brother Entered Tang Hao's Belly

Following the guidance of Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang found his second 'heart' and mastered the correct technique for exerting force.

Before long, the forging hammer began to spin in the hands of Yu Xiaogang.

As he demonstrated, he explained the process to Tang San, ensuring he learned the proper way to apply force.

"Teacher's hammer technique, although performed a bit clumsily, looks much easier than mine!"

"But why do I feel that Teacher's technique seems a bit different from mine?"

He noticed that when Yu Xiaogang demonstrated the hammer technique, it was as if he were dancing, focusing far too much on his own image.

Soon, Yu Xiaogang could no longer hold on; he began to lose his momentum and set down the forging hammer.

His martial soul was an external beast soul, and his strength was naturally limited, so he was unable to perform the full Eighty-One Hammers.

His hammer count was not even as high as the number of layers Tang San had achieved.

"Tang San, have you grasped it?" Yu Xiaogang asked, a hint of self-satisfaction in his tone.

"Hmph, His Excellency Haotian underestimated me; this hammer technique isn't that difficult after all!"

"Teacher, let me try. If there is anything wrong, please point it out!" Tang San said.

"Good, go ahead and try!"

Yu Xiaogang yielded his position to Tang San, allowing him to begin practicing the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

Tang San had already been on the verge of a breakthrough, and with Tang Hao's remote guidance, he quickly mastered the trick.

Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction and headed back to Notting Academy on his own.

As the sky grew dim, Yu Xiaogang returned to his room and was met with the heavy scent of alcohol.

He frowned, feeling a distaste for the smell of wine that had been digested and regurgitated by someone else.

"Is that you, His Excellency Haotian? You haven't left yet?" Yu Xiaogang's brow smoothed out.

Hearing the movement, Tang Hao immediately sobered up. Recognizing the footsteps as those of Grandmaster, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Grandmaster, forgive me for drinking your fine wine and borrowing your space to rest for a while without your permission!"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said, "It is nothing, this is my honor!"

When he was young, Tang Hao was already world-renowned, and he had always regarded Tang Hao as his idol.

How could he possibly mind his idol sleeping in his bed?

"Wait, His Excellency Haotian said he drank my wine? When did I buy wine?"

Yu Xiaogang swept his gaze across the room and saw the wine jar on the table; his expression stiffened.

"Why is it this jar of wine?" Yu Xiaogang was instantly stunned.

He had assumed Tang Hao would not come, so this jar was where he had stored his own 'little brother'.

Even though the thing could not be reattached, he wanted to keep a memento, harboring the same sentiment as a eunuch in the palace.

Yu Xiaogang hurried forward, lifted the jar, and peered inside.

He saw that it was completely empty; not to mention his 'little brother', there wasn't even a drop of wine left. He could not tell if it had evaporated or been consumed.

"His Excellency Haotian, did you drink all of this wine?" Yu Xiaogang asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.

Perhaps his 'little brother' hadn't been eaten, but merely tossed aside?

Tang Hao nodded, assuming Yu Xiaogang was surprised by his high tolerance for alcohol.

"Grandmaster, this Soul King Drunk is excellent; I was a bit greedy!"

"Oh, by the way, what kind of soul beast's whip was soaked in this Soul King Drunk? I don't recall ever tasting this flavor before."

Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened; Tang Hao had completely shattered his last shred of hope.

His 'little brother' had truly been eaten by Tang Hao.

"Grandmaster, what is wrong?"

Noticing the change in Grandmaster's expression, Tang Hao asked with concern.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said, "His Excellency Haotian, I am fine!"

He looked at Tang Hao with a strange gaze, feeling as though he and Tang Hao now shared a peculiar connection.

"Your Excellency, after my guidance, Tang San has completely mastered all the techniques of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!"

For some reason, Yu Xiaogang felt as if he were fishing for praise from Tang Hao.

"Many thanks, Grandmaster. It is truly a stroke of great fortune for Tang San to have a teacher like you!"

"Staying here any longer might be detrimental to you, so I shall take my leave!"

With that, Tang Hao exited the room and headed toward the Shi San Blacksmith Shop.

He did not fully trust what Grandmaster had said, so he intended to go to the blacksmith shop himself to confirm whether Tang San had truly mastered the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

Once Tang Hao left, the tension in Yu Xiaogang's heart finally dissipated.

He lay on the bed, feeling as though Tang Hao's warmth still lingered on the sheets, and before he knew it, he had drifted off to sleep.

In Dormitory Seven, Li Ping'an sat alone on his bed, cross-legged in cultivation.

Xiao Wu had finally succeeded in breaking through to level twenty and had gone into hiding to condense her soul ring.

To conceal her true strength, she had not requested leave from the academy, preventing the Title Douluo who was monitoring her from finding out.

I should also obtain a soul ring.

With my current strength, if I prepare well, venturing into the Soul Hunting Forest shouldn't be a problem.

But since I have a system, why would I need to risk my life in the Soul Hunting Forest? Li Ping'an thought to himself.

The Soul Hunting Forest was a place where the Heaven Dou Empire kept soul beasts; as long as one didn't venture too deep, there wasn't much danger.

However, entering the Soul Hunting Forest required an imperial warrant.

To obtain an imperial warrant, one had to apply through the academy, and a teacher would lead a team into the forest to hunt soul beasts.

Li Ping'an did not want to expose his strength for the time being, so he had no way to apply for a warrant.

So, if I want to obtain a soul ring, I can only go to other soul beast forests, but that is too dangerous!

It would be better to have the system arrange a soul ring for me! Li Ping'an thought.

Li Ping'an opened the system and saw that Yu Xiaogang had just broken through to level thirty.

Yu Xiaogang actually broke through? That wasn't easy!

Li Ping'an hurriedly issued a mission to Yu Xiaogang, tasking him with completing it to obtain a reward.

And that reward was precisely a soul ring.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to level thirty, triggering a mission!]

[Mission: Make a name for yourself in Nuoding City!]

[Reward: One thousand-year soul ring (choose your own soul beast)!]

[Mission Description: Please head to a brothel in Nuoding City, learn the sword dance, and defeat the top courtesan in a dance-off!]

Early in the morning, Yu Xiaogang woke from his sleep and saw the mission issued by the system.

"What? You want me to go to a brothel and learn the dances of those prostitutes? And I have to compete in a dance-off against the top courtesan?"

"This... why would the system issue such a mission?"

"If I actually do this, how will I ever be able to hold my head high in Nuoding City again?"

Yu Xiaogang's brows were tightly furrowed as he cursed, but for some reason, he didn't outright refuse the mission.

Forget it, forget it. For the sake of the system's reward, what is a little humiliation? Yu Xiaogang thought.

Although he could go to a soul beast forest to hunt a soul beast himself, who would want to risk life and limb if they could break through to become a Soul Elder without any danger?

Moreover, this was a thousand-year soul ring with a selectable soul beast, which was perfect for putting his own martial soul theories into practice!

He did not notice at all that ever since he had castrated himself to practice the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, his mind had undergone a certain change.

He even found himself starting to look forward to the system's missions.
