How to Defy Fate and Change One's Destiny

His potential enemies included Tang Biesan, as well as Tang Hao, who treated Tang San as a tool for revenge.

Tang Hao was one of the strongest among Titled Douluo.

Tang San was the Child of Luck of Douluo Continent, suspected to have been supported by the Asura God of the God Realm to deal with the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction.

That was why Tang San always had an endless stream of cheats.

Immortal Herbs.

Tang Hao's protection.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrifice.

Blue Silver Emperor Inheritance.

The Sea God's support.

But the funny thing was—

Although Tang Biesan had acquired so many top-tier cheats, he still could not defeat Bibi Dong in the end and could only win with the help of a God King.

Clearly, Tang Biesan was worthless trash beyond saving.

If Zhou Tao could intercept some of his cheats, the future Tang God King would definitely fall short, and Zhou Tao would benefit greatly as well.

Therefore, Zhou Tao intended to seize some of the great opportunities from the original story in advance.

After all—

Zhou Tao was not a Child of Luck. His talent was mediocre, and his Martial Soul was nothing exceptional. If he cultivated normally, he would certainly never defeat that cheat-fueled bastard.

So, he needed to use his knowledge of the original story and his informational advantage to make himself as strong as possible.

However, Tang San would soon obtain his first Spirit Ring.

Once the other party acquired his first Spirit Ring, he would definitely come looking for trouble.

Zhou Tao was an orphan. Right now, he had no confidence in facing Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Tang Hao.

"I can't stay in Nuoding City for long."

"Since I'm enemies with Tang Biesan's camp, I'll look for opportunities among their enemies."

"I'll leave tomorrow. Once I take the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone, I'll head to Heaven Dou City and find a way to seize the Immortal Herb opportunity!"

Zhou Tao knew that Heaven Dou City held many opportunities.

For example, the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were immensely beneficial to a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

There was also Heaven Dou Royal Academy. That place was absurdly wealthy and possessed vast cultivation resources.

Its mimicry cultivation environment in particular was highly beneficial for cultivating Lightning Power.

That was an advantage difficult to replicate elsewhere.

Moreover, if he seized the Immortal Herb opportunity first, Tang San would not be able to obtain it!

"Without those opportunities, and after being misled by that fraud Yu Xiaogang, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul will definitely be ruined."

"His combat strength will collapse by more than half."

"Yu Xiaogang, I'll make you watch with your own eyes as you turn a genius Spirit Master into trash."

"You'll be forever bound to the title of useless Martial Soul master. And the theories you preach will definitely go bankrupt and be scorned by all of Douluo Continent because of worthless Tang San!"

"It won't just be Tang San who despises you!"

"Even the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will regard Yu Xiaogang as a disgrace!"

Yu Xiaogang, that useless Martial Soul master.

Every day, he went on and on about how there were no useless Martial Souls, only useless Spirit Masters.

And what about him? He touted himself as a theoretical master, but in truth, his materials had been stolen from Spirit Hall.

His so-called theories merely repackaged things others already knew, then gave them intimidating names to fool people.

His own Martial Soul was a pig with no combat ability whatsoever. Yet after decades, he still had not even broken through Soul Power Rank 30, becoming the useless Spirit Master he himself mocked.

After studying Martial Soul theory for decades, he still could not solve the problem of his own useless Martial Soul.

Moreover, he had never accepted disciples in all those years.

Why?

Because he did not dare.

If he accepted an ordinary Spirit Master, his theories would collapse. Would that not be a blatant slap in his face?

That was why Yu Xiaogang refused to teach anyone but genius Spirit Masters.

Why?

As long as genius Spirit Masters did not do anything foolish, they were practically destined to succeed.

It was like the top students at school. They were not taught into becoming top students.

They became top students because they were naturally good at exams.

As long as teachers imparted enough knowledge, they could score highly on their own.

Change teachers, and they would still be top students.

Their teachers had little to do with it.

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang only needed to teach Tang San the basics and take this genius Spirit Master to hunt Soul Beasts normally. With the rare Twin Martial Souls of Douluo Continent, it would be hard for Tang San not to soar!

Not to mention that Tang Biesan had countless cheats.

With conditions that good, even a pig could fly!

So, Yu Xiaogang was simply there to ride on the fame of genius Spirit Masters.

As long as a genius Spirit Master became his disciple, once that genius became renowned throughout Douluo Continent, he could use that connection to boast that his theories were correct.

Then he could put on airs openly and shamelessly.

After all, if Tang San became a Titled Douluo, who would dare question a Titled Douluo's teacher?

"In the end, Yu Xiaogang has always been exploiting others. He's just human trash."

Zhou Tao lay on his bed and muttered.

"My chance to defy fate and change my destiny will begin with the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone!"

Thinking about what he would do tomorrow, Zhou Tao felt faintly excited.

Next—

He sorted through his plans for the days ahead, then finally went to sleep in peace.

The following day.

Zhou Tao hid in the attic, quietly waiting for Yu Xiaogang, his disciple, and Tang Hao to appear.

His home was not far from Notting Academy. From the attic, he could see the academy in the distance.

He needed to personally watch the three leave for the Spirit Beast Forest. Only after ensuring nothing could go wrong would he set out.

Early morning.

Nuoding City was still quiet and deserted at this hour.

Big Master Yu Xiaogang wore a gray robe, while Tang San beside him carried a large sack of white radishes on his back.

They were food for Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao.

A carriage carried the two of them slowly out of Nuoding City, heading east.

The Soul Hunting Forest was in that direction.

Zhou Tao did not leave in a hurry and continued watching silently.

Half an hour later, a thin figure dressed in black quietly left Nuoding City.

He was also heading toward the Soul Hunting Forest.

Standing in the attic, Zhou Tao quietly watched Tang Hao depart, and an imperceptible smile gradually curled across his lips.

"You've all gone to the Soul Hunting Forest, which means no one is guarding the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone in Holy Soul Village."

"Tang San, Tang San, you stupid pig. You could have relied on your protagonist's halo and soared all the way to the top, but you insisted on believing a fraud."

"And you insisted on opposing me and making an enemy."

"If I don't take your opportunities, I'll be walking a path to death. So I'm taking the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone for sure."

"And I'll take your Blue Silver Emperor Inheritance too."

"I'll make you understand that the Life System is the proper cultivation path for Blue Silver Grass."

"You stupid pig, don't waste the Blue Silver Emperor Inheritance."

"As for Tang Hao, you exploited the Blue Silver Emperor's feelings and devoured Ah Yin completely to carry out your scheme of revenge against Spirit Hall."

"Leaving the Blue Silver Emperor Inheritance with your family is simply aiding evil. It will be far more suitable in my hands."

Spirit Hall had originally been an organization that protected commoner Spirit Masters, giving the many commoner Spirit Masters of aristocrat-controlled Douluo Continent a chance to defy fate and change their destinies.

And yet, the Tang Clan used all sorts of schemes and tricks to forcibly destroy such a fine organization, ultimately allowing the aristocrats to completely monopolize the profession of Spirit Master and ensuring that commoners would never again have a chance to rise.
