"Focus."
"Try another ten or eight of those hidden weapons you just used."
Yin Chuan held the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear and beckoned.
Just one shot?
That was far too unsatisfying.
"Yes, Uncle."
Seeing that he truly could not hurt his uncle, Tang San felt relieved.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
Several Silent Sleeve Arrows burst forth in succession, soundless and traceless, without even disturbing the breeze.
"Overlord Disarming Armor!"
Yin Chuan continued spinning his spear.
Bang, bang, bang!
This time, he controlled his strength. Every Silent Sleeve Arrow was knocked back and pinned into the ground beside Tang San's feet.
Tang San's eyes shone brightly.
He knocked them all back?
What kind of Spear Technique was this?
"If you master this move, it can not only protect you, but also precisely deflect long-range attacks like these back at your opponent, returning their own methods against them."
Being able to bat away hidden arrows like a baseball, Yin Chuan was very satisfied with the skill's effect.
The system had not yet given him full proficiency in it. If he practiced this move properly and raised his cultivation, it would absolutely become a divine skill!
Worthy of being one of the Blue Silver Thirteen Spears!
It made him look forward to the remaining twelve moves.
"Uncle, I really want to learn it!"
Tang San was extremely excited.
And this was only one move from his uncle's Blue Silver Thirteen Spears!
How powerful would the complete Spear Technique be?
Tang San would call it the Life-Taking Thirteen Spears!
"You want to learn?"
"Then watch carefully and learn properly. Uncle will teach you."
Yin Chuan withdrew his stance, came to Tang San's side, and patted his shoulder.
He personally taught Tang San how to practice the spear...
After an afternoon of practice,
Tang San was finally able to barely execute Overlord Disarming Armor.
"Uncle..."
Tang San's feelings were complicated.
He ate his uncle's food, drank his uncle's drinks, and had even learned one of his uncle's Spear Techniques... He had accepted far too much kindness from his uncle.
The debt of giving birth could be repaid by cutting off a finger,
But the debt of raising him could never be repaid!
His parents had given birth to him, but his uncle was the one who had raised him!
Tang San felt that he needed to do something to repay his uncle.
What did he have?
Tang Sect techniques!
But those techniques did not belong to him. They belonged to the Tang Sect, so he had no way to give them to his uncle...
Tang San was deeply conflicted. On one side was the Tang Sect, and on the other was his uncle...
"Xiao San, I'm resigning. I'll be leaving for a while."
Rare tenderness appeared on Yin Chuan's usually cold face.
He was leaving,
Leaving Nuoding Academy.
It was not just the Millennium Dragon Scale Fruit, Blue Vein Vine, Earth Dragon Tendon, and Sea Dragon Marrow.
He also needed to prepare in advance the items required for the Golden Dragon King's Third Seal and Fourth Seal.
Besides, he had some personal matters to deal with as well.
"What?!!"
"Uncle, you're leaving?"
Tang San was struck as if by lightning. He was utterly flustered, all color draining from his face as he nearly lost his footing and collapsed.
His uncle was leaving?
He had never even considered being separated from his uncle.
It was more than simple dependence. Tang San could not imagine what meaning life would have without his uncle.
He could not live without his uncle!
"Uncle, I'll go with you!"
Tang San was frantic.
If his uncle was leaving, what meaning was there in him staying here?
If they were leaving, they would leave together!
"No. You'll stay here, Xiao San. I'll return within half a year."
"Wait obediently for Uncle."
"Eat well and cultivate properly. When we meet again, let Uncle see how much you've changed and give me a surprise."
Yin Chuan placed his large hand on Tang San's head and rubbed it twice.
Mm... it felt pretty good.
Tang San's voice choked with sobs. His heart was full of reluctance, and he simply could not accept it.
His uncle was leaving!
And he would be away from him for half a year!
Forget half a year—even half a day would feel like an eternity!
Half a year...
How was he supposed to live without his uncle?
"Enough. You're a grown man, so why are you being so weepy?"
"This storage Soul Tool contains the living expenses I'm leaving for you. Don't mistreat yourself."
Yin Chuan tossed a storage ring to Tang San.
He estimated that,
Once the Main Quest of unlocking the Golden Dragon King's Second Seal for Tang San was completed,
The next Main Quest would probably be Tang San's third Soul Ring.
Within two years,
Tang San would definitely break through to three rings. Yin Chuan needed to return early.
"Uncle!"
Tang San clutched the storage ring tightly, tears already blurring his vision.
Even as his uncle was leaving, he was still thinking of him,
Arranging his living expenses for him.
Uncle!
Ever since following you,
Xiao San had never gone hungry or cold!
Recalling the days he had spent with Tang Hao, Tang San felt even worse.
He was someone who did not even love his own father,
Yet his uncle treated him so well...
"Why are you crying?"
Yin Chuan frowned.
It seemed...
This Tang San was a little too sentimental.
Though that was normal,
Tang San might have been a transmigrator rather than a child, with a mature mindset, but his emotional experiences in both his past and present lives had been extremely lacking.
He desperately lacked love.
So it was only natural that he depended on a good uncle like Yin Chuan.
"Uncle, Xiao San doesn't want to leave you."
"Will you come back to be a teacher again after half a year?"
Tang San pleaded through tears.
"I won't be teaching at Nuoding Academy anymore."
Yin Chuan shook his head.
Nuoding Academy was only a temporary place to stay, nothing more than a beginner village.
"Stop crying. Be stronger like a man."
"I've already spoken with the academy. I'm leaving tomorrow."
Yin Chuan was somewhat helpless. Why was Tang San crying so much?
Forget it,
He would comfort him like a child. He was his nephew, after all.
"Alright!"
"Then Xiao San will wait for your return!"
Tang San wiped away his tears, sniffed, and put on a brave face.
He had to be strong!
He could not let his uncle think he was too cowardly.
Yin Chuan left.
Tang San did not sleep at all that night. He tossed and turned, his heart twisting in pain.
The next day,
Tang San went to class and, sure enough, found that the person at the lectern had changed.
His uncle was gone...
And the new teacher was Gangzi. That made it even worse...
"Ahem, hello, students. I am your new teacher, known as the Grandmaster, with the reputation of being the foremost authority on theory."
"For the coming period, I-I will serve as your homeroom teacher."
Yu Xiaogang looked confident, though inwardly he was thrilled.
Yin Chuan had left!
Hehe, Tang San was all alone now.
He could take advantage of the opportunity and steal him away!
Although it was truly regrettable that he could not take Yin Chuan as a disciple, Tang San was not bad either!
He was only a little over eight years old, yet he already had two rings!
He was truly a heaven-sent genius!
Such a talented seedling was right before him. If Yu Xiaogang did not take him, he would be letting himself down!
Unfortunately,
Yu Xiaogang's primary target had actually been Yin Chuan.
According to the dean, Yin Chuan seemed to have already broken through to five rings. What did five rings before the age of fifteen mean?
Yu Xiaogang could conclude that Yin Chuan would definitely become a Titled Douluo!
If he took Yin Chuan as a disciple,
Then, in time, he would have a Titled Douluo disciple!
Who would dare look down on him then?
He, Yu Xiaogang, would be able to return home in glory, hold his head high, and vent all his resentment!
"Now that Yin Chuan is gone, I've finally found my chance."
"I'll take Tang San as my disciple first."
"Then I'll use my status as Tang San's teacher to approach Yin Chuan and conquer him with my personal charm."
"With my vast knowledge, I can certainly arrange a suitable path for Yin Chuan!"
"Once I have both uncle and nephew in hand, the world will be mine!"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, his gaze somewhat lecherous and burning.
