Could the education Tang San received later have completely changed him?
Was it Grandmaster's guidance? His father Tang Hao's teachings? Shrek Academy's influence? Or the reforming effect of his companions?
Or perhaps,
precisely because they were the people closest to Tang San,
they had never seen his cold and ruthless side?
Whatever the reason,
they all clearly realized at this moment—
beneath Tang San's gentle exterior, another face seemed to be hidden.
For a time, even Tang Hao and the others quietly developed an invisible estrangement from Tang San.
[After the gatekeeper was stopped by the man called Grandmaster, Grandmaster led Tang San into the academy to complete his enrollment.]
[The moment the formalities were finished, he brought Tang San into a room.]
[Inside, Grandmaster directly exposed the fact that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls.]
[Tang San's heart jolted, and a Sleeve Arrow quietly slid into his palm.]
[A flicker of killing intent had already surfaced in his eyes—his father had repeatedly warned him that this secret must never be revealed.]
[No matter how the other man had learned of it, knowing this alone meant he had committed an offense worthy of death!]
[However, the man before him was, after all, a Spirit Master. Killing him would likely not be easy.]
[Grandmaster then slowly explained how he had deduced that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls.]
[His reasoning was this: a martial soul like Blue Silver Grass could never possess Innate Full Soul Power.]
[From this, Grandmaster concluded that Tang San must have another martial soul!]
[In the end, Tang San was won over by Grandmaster's profound theories and knelt to perform the ceremony of accepting a master.]
[The words, "A teacher for a day, a father for life," moved Grandmaster deeply.]
Everyone across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds: ...
How should they put this? This plot was so full of flaws that they did not even know where to begin criticizing it.
First, Grandmaster inferred that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls from his "Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power,"
but the problem was...
Where did Tang San get Innate Full Soul Power?
He did not even know exactly how much Innate Soul Power he had!
That so-called "full Soul Power" had been accumulated through his childhood cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill!
If you started cultivating from such a young age and hit a bottleneck at a little over five years old that you could not break through,
wouldn't your Soul Power level then be equivalent to Innate Full Soul Power?
Yet Grandmaster used "Twin Martial Souls" to explain this phenomenon,
and you actually believed him?
Come on, brother. Others might not know the truth, but didn't you know it yourself? Fine if you fooled outsiders, but how did you talk yourself into it too?!
And that line, "A teacher for a day, a father for life"—
is that how you treated your "father"?
One moment, you were plotting how to silence him forever, and the next, you treated him like your own father?
Wasn't that shift in mentality a little too effortless?
Luckily, Grandmaster did not know at the time. If he had known the truth, who would dare accept a disciple like that?
As everyone across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds looked at Tang San, an oddly familiar feeling arose within them—
the more they looked at him, the more he resembled Han Feng, Yao Lao's traitorous disciple.
Both were stubborn to the extreme,
and both loved underhanded tricks.
So-called "hidden weapons"—weren't they, plainly speaking, just tricks for hurting people from behind?
Not to mention coating them all with poison...
Such methods were truly beneath contempt!
Besides,
the Douluo World at least counted as a mid-to-high martial world, didn't it?
Its ranking system looked similar to that of the Dou Qi World.
Though it used such down-to-earth terms as "what level,"
it still had clear divisions like Spirit Master, Soul Grandmaster, and Soul Elder...
In a world like that, what use could your little hidden weapons possibly have?
They were not even on the same level!
Douluo World—
Grandmaster's face had turned green at this moment.
Learning that he had nearly died at Tang San's hands back then,
even now, cold sweat still seeped into his palms in lingering fear.
Tang San had actually been this extreme back then...
If a Soul Grandmaster like me had truly been killed by a Spirit Master without a Spirit Ring, I would have become the laughingstock of the ages.
Fortunately, he is now my disciple, and even an unprecedented inheritor of godhood!
But what did "the God Realm shall not see Yu Xiaogang" mean...
Suppressing his emotions, he forced a faint smile at Tang San as he returned.
Tang San immediately cupped his hands and explained:
"Teacher, I truly did not mean it back then in the image! I was only afraid that the secret entrusted to me by my father would be exposed!"
"I never truly intended to harm you!"
"I understand. At the time, we did not know each other. Such caution was only natural."
Hearing Grandmaster say this, Tang San secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That damned system had nearly ruined his pure and spotless image!
Fortunately, his teacher was reasonable—when anyone faced the possibility of a secret being exposed, their first reaction should be to silence everyone involved!
If you did not pull out the roots, were you supposed to wait for the spring breeze to bring it back to life?
Battle Through the Heavens World—
Xiao Yan watched Tang San's every move, discomfort rising within him.
Tang San's actions could not help but remind him of Han Feng, who had betrayed his master.
The words "A teacher for a day, a father for life" were easy enough to say,
but how many people could truly live by them?
Killing intent arising because a stranger had discovered one's secret
was indeed not uncommon in this world,
and could hardly be called anything rare.
But what was unacceptable was—
one moment, he had been plotting to take someone's life,
yet the next, upon discovering that person could be useful to him and would keep his secret,
he could kneel and acknowledge him as his master without the slightest hesitation!
How much sincerity could there be in such a sudden change?
If that Grandmaster had known Tang San had harbored killing intent toward him only moments earlier,
would he still have been willing to accept this disciple?
Absolutely not!
Thinking back, Yao Lao had absorbed his Dou Qi for three years.
Though he had been furious enough to curse and stomp his feet, he had ultimately accepted reality.
What he thought more about was that, since his cultivation talent had returned, he only needed to devote himself to cultivation.
He was still that favored genius of heaven!
He had never once considered harming Yao Lao.
Even though the difference in their strength had been as vast as heaven and earth,
and he could not have harmed Yao Lao in the slightest.
But whether one could do something was a matter of ability,
while whether one had thought of doing it was a matter of nature.
At least at this moment,
Tang San's first impression on him was truly not a good one.
[After becoming Grandmaster's disciple, Grandmaster told Tang San to return to the academy dormitory first while he began preparing to help him acquire a Spirit Ring.]
[On the way, Tang San heard several passersby mocking Grandmaster as a useless man.]
[He scoffed at such remarks inwardly.]
[How could someone who had seen through his Twin Martial Souls at a glance possibly be mediocre?]
[What he needed most now was theoretical guidance. What did his teacher's personal strength have to do with anything?]
[Could Grandmaster's profound cultivation directly pass his power on to him? Knowledge was true power!]
Seriously...
How long had it even been?
You had already been completely convinced?
Everyone across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds found Tang San's transformation unbelievable!
You had met that Grandmaster only once and spent less than half an hour with him,
yet you really treated him like your own father already?!
Who would have thought that you were also the one who had just wanted to kill him to silence him?
The observers across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds gradually realized
that this Child of Destiny truly seemed to have something wrong with him...
