Who Wouldn't Want to Be Yu Xiaogang's Disciple in Reality? (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections!)

"How many times do I have to tell you, don't call me Little San..."

Tang San looked helpless.

"We graduate tomorrow, and the teacher recommended that we go to Shrek Academy in Soto City for further studies."

"It's said that it's an academy that only recruits monsters, and the students there are all the pride of their respective junior spirit master academies. I'm planning to go take a look."

"What about you? What are your plans? Do you want to go together?"

"I haven't decided yet. I just want to go out and wander around to relax after graduation."

Although Wang Dong'er said this, she already had her own plans in mind.

She intended to head to Heaven Dou Royal Academy in Heaven Dou City to study.

Studying wasn't the goal; the important thing was Dugu Yan.

If she could build a good relationship with Dugu Yan and find a way to meet Dugu Bo, she could intercept the immortal grade medicinal herbs.

Currently, this was the only path available to intercept those herbs.

She was only a minor Great Spirit Master right now and had no way to venture deep into the Sunset Forest alone to find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

If she risked going deep into a spirit beast forest, she feared she would be torn to shreds by spirit beasts.

"I see..." Tang San's tone was a bit disappointed; he had been hoping to be good brothers with Wang Dong'er for a lifetime.

He then asked, feigning ignorance, "By the way, where is Xiao Wu?"

"Xiao Wu..." Just as Wang Dong'er was about to make up an excuse, she saw Xiao Wu walking over from the side.

Her eyes were slightly red, and her large, watery eyes stared straight at Wang Dong'er, making her feel incredibly guilty.

"I... I haven't decided yet either."

"Wang Dong'er, come over here with me for a second."

With that, Xiao Wu pulled Wang Dong'er to the side and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Wang Dong'er, you wouldn't want anyone else to know that you're a girl, would you?"

Wang Dong'er froze. She widened her eyes, staring at Xiao Wu in a daze.

Mom, I'm really begging you!

"What... what do you want to do?"

"Just pretend that incident never happened. If a third person finds out, I will definitely not let you off!"

Xiao Wu threatened her fiercely. She looked as if she had completely moved past the matter, but deep down, she was still very sad. After all, she had liked Wang Dong'er for a year or two.

"Okay, I promise, no third person will ever know about this." Wang Dong'er let out a sigh of relief and bitterly raised three fingers to swear.

She had been scared to death, terrified that Xiao Wu would use this secret to threaten her into doing something bad.

She then straightened her expression.

"Xiao Wu, actually, I have always looked at you as my own family."

Xiao Wu curled her lip. "Fine. From today on, you're my family too. I won't have any ideas about you anymore, you big liar."

Tang San stood to the side, stunned and at a loss.

Having lived two lives, Xiao Wu was the first person of the opposite sex to care for him, and she had long held a place in his heart.

Seeing Xiao Wu and Wang Dong'er whispering like family while he stood to the side like an outsider made him feel very uncomfortable.

It wasn't until Xiao Wu stood before him and distanced herself from Wang Dong'er that he finally saw his own heart clearly.

So, the sadness he felt just now wasn't because of Wang Dong'er, but because of Xiao Wu.

"Right, Wang Dong'er, my teacher has something he wants to discuss with you."

Tang San interrupted.

"Grandmaster wants to see me?"

Wang Dong'er was very confused.

"Alright, I don't have anything going on anyway, I'll go find him."

Leaving the student dormitory building, Wang Dong'er walked toward the academy's teaching building.

When she arrived at Yu Xiaogang's office, the door was open.

Inside was a middle-aged man wearing a long black robe with a crew cut.

The man had ordinary features, rough skin, and a pitted face, which invisibly exuded a melancholy, loser-like aura.

Wang Dong'er couldn't understand how such a person could make Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong love him so desperately.

Could it be his knowledge and wisdom? Or perhaps this melancholy, decadent temperament?

"Grandmaster, you were looking for me?"

"You're here. Come in and sit."

Yu Xiaogang cracked his mouth wide, revealing an unsightly smile toward Wang Dong'er.

After Wang Dong'er sat down, he spoke up.

"Wang Dong'er, I have always admired you greatly. Since graduation is tomorrow, I want to ask you one last time: are you willing to take me as your master?"

"Your Radiant Goddess Butterfly martial soul has never appeared in the entire history of the Douluo Continent; it is most likely a mutated martial soul."

"When it comes to mutated martial souls, no one in the entire Douluo Continent has studied them more thoroughly than I have. As long as you take me as your master, I will certainly help you find the correct cultivation method for your martial soul."

"Look at Tang San. His martial soul is the trash martial soul Blue Silver Grass, yet under my guidance, he reached level twenty-nine just like you."

"If you had listened to my pointers over these past six years, perhaps you would have already broken through to become a Spirit Grandmaster."

Yu Xiaogang spoke incessantly, as if he were incredibly formidable and as if Tang San's achievements today were entirely due to him, his teacher.

Wang Dong'er only wanted to laugh as she listened.

Tang San's martial soul was a trash martial soul?

Don't make your Brother Dong laugh; that was the Blue Silver Prince martial soul, a top-tier plant martial soul, and after awakening as the Blue Silver Emperor, it was practically a cheat code. How could it possibly be a trash martial soul?

If it weren't for Yu Xiaogang's reckless guidance, Tang San's achievements in the original story would have been even more monstrous.

If she had taken Yu Xiaogang as her master, it would be a question of whether her spirit power could even break through level twenty by now.

However, she only said these things in her heart.

In reality, Wang Dong'er remained respectful toward this "Grandmaster" who hadn't even reached level thirty by the age of fifty. Without a backer or a golden finger, she had to keep a low profile.

"Grandmaster, I still wish to cultivate my martial soul on my own."

"Fine, fine. If you aren't willing, then so be it."

Having been rejected without hesitation, Yu Xiaogang merely sighed helplessly.

Six years ago, if he had wanted to take Wang Dong'er as a disciple and been rejected, he would have felt he was losing face. Now that he had been rejected so many times, he was used to it, though he still felt a sense of regret in his heart.

Of course, he didn't regret failing to take her as a disciple.

Rather, he felt sorry for Wang Dong'er.

A chance to defy the heavens and change her fate was placed right in front of her, yet she couldn't grasp it. Truly, rotten wood could not be carved.

"There is one more thing. I have recommended that Tang San go to Shrek Academy in Soto City to study. That academy only recruits monsters, and I think it would be very suitable for you."

"Forget it, Grandmaster. I am just an ordinary person, not some monster."

Wang Dong'er refused.

"If you want to talk about a real monster, Tang San is the one. I won't be going."

"Since that is the case, I will not try to persuade you further. I hope you will work hard at your cultivation and not fall too far behind Tang San and Xiao Wu."

"Hehe... I'll take your word for it. Grandmaster, if I achieve success in my cultivation in the future, I will certainly help you find a way to break through to become a Spirit Grandmaster."

Wang Dong'er said with a smile.

"You... you!"

Yu Xiaogang was choked to the point of being unable to retort and could only chase Wang Dong'er out of his office.

His good intentions had been met with mockery.

Could the world show him a little less malice?
