Lin Chuan Refused to Take a Master, Tang San's Eyes Welled Up

Grandmaster led the three of them into the academy.

After dismissing Old Jack, he brought the two children to his office.

"Sit."

Grandmaster poured them each a cup of water, then spread the certificate out on the table.

"Innate Full Soul Power, Blue Silver Grass."

Grandmaster pointed at Tang San's certificate, a confident curve lifting the corner of his mouth.

"Without special means, a Trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass simply cannot support Innate Full Soul Power."

"So, if I'm not mistaken, you must have Twin Martial Souls."

Boom!

Tang San looked as though he had been struck by lightning and abruptly shot to his feet.

His eyes were filled with shock and wariness.

His left hand instinctively moved behind his back.

Twin Martial Souls were his greatest secret. His father had repeatedly warned him not to let a third person know!

Other than Brother Lin Chuan, how had this man seen through it at a glance?

"Don't be nervous."

Grandmaster waved a hand, wisdom gleaming in his eyes.

"It can be deduced through my Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul. According to my research..."

Grandmaster began to expound endlessly on his theories, talking about Martial Soul Mutation and such...

Tang San listened, utterly captivated.

This was simply the most systematic knowledge he had heard since coming to this world!

This man was definitely a top-notch sage with genuine ability!

Lin Chuan drank water beside them, secretly laughing to himself.

Deduce my ass. It was nothing but a blind guess.

In this world, besides Tang San, Bibi Dong also had Twin Martial Souls.

Why hadn't Yu Xiaogang deduced Bibi Dong's Twin Martial Souls from the start?

However, Lin Chuan did not expose him.

Once Grandmaster finished showing off and he saw the worshipful look in Tang San's eyes, Lin Chuan knew the moment was right.

"Well?" Grandmaster looked at the two children, his gaze blazing.

"Tang San, are you willing to take me as your master? I can teach you how to cultivate your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and become a true Soul Master."

Compared to Tang San, he was even more interested in Lin Chuan.

That Sword Intent from earlier proved that Lin Chuan's Martial Soul was definitely a top-tier Weapon Martial Soul.

On top of that, Innate Full Soul Power!

He was simply a perfect uncut jade!

If he could take Lin Chuan as his disciple, his theories would surely shock the continent!

"And you, Lin Chuan. Your talent seems even greater than Tang San's. If you take me as your master, I guarantee that within twenty years, your name will be known throughout the world!"

Grandmaster extended an olive branch, and he even seemed somewhat impatient.

Tang San was tempted. Just as he was about to agree, he saw that Grandmaster was inviting Lin Chuan as well.

Brother Lin Chuan's talent is better than mine, and his comprehension is greater than mine.

If Grandmaster can only accept one disciple, he will definitely choose Brother Lin Chuan!

Tang San felt somewhat disappointed.

But he was not jealous, because that was his big brother.

However, at that moment, Lin Chuan set down his cup.

He stood up, but rather than bowing to Grandmaster, he stepped aside and reached out to push Tang San in front of him.

"Grandmaster, your theories truly are brilliant."

Lin Chuan spoke with complete sincerity.

"However, I think you may have misunderstood. The disciple suited to you is Xiao San, not me."

"What? Why?"

Grandmaster froze. Someone actually refused to become his disciple?

Tang San also stared at Lin Chuan in shock. "Brother?"

Lin Chuan sighed.

"Grandmaster, you said just now that you could guide Xiao San in cultivating Blue Silver Grass and turn a Trash Martial Soul into something miraculous."

"That is exactly what Xiao San needs."

"Although Xiao San is extraordinarily talented, he is pure-minded and knows nothing about Martial Souls. He needs a learned teacher like you to guide him in the right direction."

"He is an uncut gem, and he needs your careful polishing."

At this point, Lin Chuan paused, and a faint, sharp aura radiated from him once more.

"But I am different."

"My path is the Sword Dao. It is to forge ahead without hesitation, to cut through every shackle."

"Your theories may be profound, but they may not suit someone like me, who walks such an extreme and unconventional path."

"So, please accept Xiao San!"

"He has Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls. He will definitely become the most perfect proof of your theories!"

Lin Chuan's words were flawless.

He praised both Grandmaster and Tang San, while also establishing himself as someone obsessed with the Sword Dao.

In truth, Lin Chuan simply did not want to run laps while carrying weights!

Take Yu Xiaogang as his master? Go carry rocks and run with him?

Forget it!

I have a system. I can level up just by lying down!

Why would I find myself another father to keep me under control?

As Tang San listened to Lin Chuan's words, his eyes instantly reddened.

Brother Lin Chuan... he's lying!

What Sword Dao solitude, what restraints on the Sword Heart—those are all excuses!

How could someone as intelligent as my brother not understand the importance of having a theoretical Grandmaster to guide him?

He did this for me!

Grandmaster may be learned, but his energy is limited after all.

If he taught both of us at once, his resources and attention would definitely be divided.

Brother saw that my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was inferior to his.

Cultivation is difficult for me, and I urgently need Grandmaster's guidance, so he voluntarily withdrew!

He gave the best teacher to me!

Brother Lin Chuan is too good to me.

How could I, Tang San, ever repay such a debt of gratitude?

Tang San forcibly held back his tears and turned around.

With a thud, he knelt before Grandmaster.

He respectfully kowtowed three times.

"Teacher! Please accept this disciple's bow!"

That cry of "Teacher" was filled with genuine emotion.

It was both respect for Grandmaster and a response to Lin Chuan's sacrifice.

Grandmaster looked at Tang San kneeling on the ground, then at Lin Chuan standing calmly to the side.

His heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He was excited because he had finally accepted a disciple with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls.

Tang San was respectful toward his teacher and valued propriety. He was a good seedling.

Yet he was disappointed because Lin Chuan had actually rejected him.

And the rejection had been so decisive, with the reason being that their paths were different.

It gave Grandmaster, who had always held himself in high regard, a sharp pang in his heart.

Since you are unwilling to take me as your master, that is your loss.

Grandmaster snorted inwardly, his pride aroused as well.

You think your talent is so high that you do not need theoretical guidance? Fine, then I'll use Tang San to prove it to you!

I will raise Tang San into an unparalleled powerhouse and have him surpass you, this so-called Sword Dao genius!

When that day comes, I will make you regret today's decision. I will make you understand that there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters!

Without theoretical guidance, no matter how great one's talent is, it will be wasted!

One day, you will bow your head and beg me for guidance!

At that thought, Grandmaster took a deep breath.

The stiff expression returned to his face.

He reached out and helped Tang San up.

"Good, good child. From today onward, you are the personal disciple of me, Yu Xiaogang."

Then he turned to Lin Chuan, his tone becoming somewhat cold.

"Since your mind is made up, I will not force you. However, you are work-study students at the academy, and you must follow the rules."

"Since you are unwilling to take me as your master, if you encounter problems in cultivation later, I can only offer you ordinary advice in my capacity as an academy teacher."
