???
Douluo Continent, Main Timeline.
Countless people, including Tang San, wore expressions of astonishment.
He was already the destined protagonist; how could he be defeated?
If a protagonist is defeated, are they still a protagonist?
For a moment, countless people were curious about how Ye Tianyun had managed to defeat the protagonist.
"The protagonist has been defeated? I wonder how he managed to beat Tang San."
Bibi Dong muttered to herself. The thought of her enemy, Tang San, being defeated only piqued her curiosity further.
If she could obtain Ye Tianyun's methods, perhaps she could also defeat Tang San and maintain the rule of Martial Soul Hall.
Tang San could feel the astonished and bewildered gazes of the crowd.
He couldn't help but let out a cold snort:
"That just means the other Tang San is incompetent. If it were me, as the protagonist, how could I possibly lose?"
It was common knowledge that protagonists in novels were almost invincible.
In the sky, the Live Broadcast Room continued its stream.
[In order to defeat Tang San, Dou Di Ye Tianyun even compiled several secret manuals, all of which were insights on how to defeat a protagonist.]
100 Ways to Defeat Tang San.
The Weakest Protagonist Tang San.
How I Easily Defeated Tang San.
Tang San's expression grew increasingly ugly. To be looked down upon like this—the version of him from another world was simply a piece of trash.
If it were him personally, he would defeat Ye Tianyun in a minute and trample him underfoot.
"Methods to defeat a protagonist? I am truly interested."
"If only one could defeat a protagonist."
Everyone chimed in, hoping to learn these secret manuals so they could easily defeat the protagonist Tang San in the future.
[Of course, these are just digressions. Let us return to the main point; what follows is what happened after both parties awakened their martial souls.]
[After the martial soul awakening, Tang San and Ye Tianyun both faced the next choice, as both had obtained the opportunity to enroll.]
[Although Ye Tianyun only had an Innate Soul Power of 0.1, he possessed soul power nonetheless, so the village he belonged to gave the enrollment quota to him.]
[And so, both of them entered Nuoding City Junior Academy at the same time.]
Nuoding City?
Bibi Dong was the first to react, turning her head to issue an order:
"Arrange for people to go to Nuoding Academy and find Ye Tianyun immediately."
She needed talent like Ye Tianyun to help her defeat Tang San.
On the competition grounds.
Sword Douluo pondered for a moment, reached a decision, and looked at Ning Fengzhi to ask:
"Fengzhi, talent is hard to come by."
Ning Fengzhi understood this principle as well. Without the slightest hesitation, he pondered and spoke:
"After all, he was able to defeat a protagonist and become a Dou Di powerhouse. Although I don't understand what a Dou Di is, he should be useful to me."
Across the world.
Undercurrents surged among the major powers.
Some wanted to recruit Ye Tianyun, while others wanted to assassinate him.
Take Tang San, for instance; his killing intent permeated the air. He absolutely would not allow anyone to surpass him or pose a threat to him.
If the Ye Tianyun of another world could defeat him, then the Ye Tianyun of their world was in danger.
Feng Xiaotian felt a wave of killing intent and followed it to see Tang San, whose face was gloomy; it was clear he wanted to kill Ye Tianyun.
He muttered to himself:
"This Tang San wants to kill; it shows how narrow-minded he is. Therefore, one must not offend him."
If it were before, when he didn't know Tang San's status as a protagonist, he certainly would have mocked him a few times.
[The two of them arrived at Nuoding Academy to report on the same day.]
[Next, we will broadcast the day the two of them entered Nuoding Academy.]
The scene shifted to the Douluo Main Timeline.
Tang San and Village Chief Jack arrived at Nuoding Academy. They had just reached the school gate when they were stopped by the guard.
"Innate Full Soul Power? And your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass? Are you joking? Get lost; we don't entertain trash here."
Facing the gatekeeper's mockery, Tang San was filled with killing intent; he pulled out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, preparing to let the guard have it.
But just then, the Grandmaster appeared.
Yu Xiaogang sternly rebuked the gatekeeper:
"What are you doing? Who taught you to act as a gatekeeper like this? Do you believe I won't report you to the school?"
The narrator of the Live Broadcast Room spoke up alongside the footage.
[After thoroughly studying the records of Martial Soul Hall, Yu Xiaogang speculated that soul power is directly proportional to the quality of one's martial soul. Since Tang San possessed Innate Full Soul Power, it definitely wasn't just ordinary Blue Silver Grass; it had to be Twin Martial Souls.]
[Therefore, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward to speak for Tang San, intending to take him as a disciple to realize his own dreams.]
"Grandmaster, it is all my fault."
The gatekeeper hurriedly apologized respectfully.
[Although the gatekeeper apologized, he looked down on the Grandmaster in his heart. He was just a piece of trash; did he really think that publishing the Ten Great Theories made him a successful person?]
[If it weren't for the fact that Yu Xiaogang knew the Dean, he would have definitely slapped Yu Xiaogang across the face to make him realize his place. The trash Grandmaster actually had the nerve to lecture him.]
Yu Xiaogang: "..."
Damn it, what is wrong with this Live Broadcast Room?
Show the footage if you must, but what is with this narration? What do you mean by "trash"? Where is he trash?
The gatekeeper's words struck him right in the heart.
Setting aside the facts of his martial soul, shouldn't he, Yu Xiaogang, be called a Grandmaster?
It wasn't just Yu Xiaogang; Liu Erlong was also furious, stamping her feet and cursing:
"Who is this gatekeeper? Don't let me find out who he is, or I will definitely beat him up. Isn't he just a piece of trash himself?"
"Also?"
Hearing that word, Yu Xiaogang took another blow. That remark was even more hurtful.
It was as if both he and the gatekeeper were trash.
He was definitely not trash.
In the Live Broadcast Room's footage, after Yu Xiaogang chased the guard away, he brought Tang San to his room, exposed the truth about Tang San's Twin Martial Souls, and requested to take him as a disciple:
"Are you willing to take me as your master?"
"Master, please accept this disciple's bow."
Tang San did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately knelt to acknowledge his master.
The narrator of the Live Broadcast Room spoke up once again.
[The reason Tang San was willing to take him as a master was purely because he felt that having someone with decent strength could protect him in the future and provide some theoretical knowledge.]
[Because he felt that his father, Tang Hao, was lazy and incompetent, failing as a father and offering him little help.]
Outside the venue, Tang Hao's expression turned ugly.
What did it mean by lazy and incompetent, failing as a father? He was actually quite a respo...
He should have been quite competent, right? Even Tang San wasn't sure anymore. In the past, he had been too deeply wounded by love to look after Tang San's life; it was Jack who had raised Tang San.
At Shrek Academy, everyone looked at Tang San.
No way, brother, you're this bold? Calling your own father lazy and incompetent?
Tang San: "..."
They were slandering him again.
[After learning of Yu Xiaogang's soul power, although Tang San felt that someone of such an age with such low soul power was simply trash and truly looked down on him.]
[But for the sake of the data Yu Xiaogang had collected, Tang San still felt he had to endure the humiliation and take a piece of trash as his master.]
Yu Xiaogang: "..."
Tang San: "..."
The Live Broadcast Room was basically slapping them in the face at point-blank range.
Across the Douluo Continent, countless people watched and laughed.
"Tang San is something else."
"Enduring humiliation for a greater goal, indeed."
