Xiao Wu watched Tang Chuan's departing back, her eyes filled with confusion. She truly felt as though she had seen him somewhere before, but since he did not recognize her, perhaps she had simply been mistaken.
"Xiao Wu, the moment I saw you, I noticed three problems. First, this is my teacher. You can call him Teacher Tang Chuan, not big brother. Second, even my great-grandfather would not use such an outdated way of striking up a conversation. Third, only the most virtuous woman is worthy of my teacher!"
Tang San directly pointed out Xiao Wu's problems. Since his godfather had told him not to harbor murderous intentions without cause, arguing with his mouth was not a bad alternative.
As someone from the Bashu Tang Sect, Tang San had grown accustomed to a life of flashing blades and bloodshed, but he truly had not expected trading insults to feel this satisfying.
Seeing Xiao Wu rendered speechless by his words, Tang San secretly reveled in it.
"I don't like him! He just feels familiar, that's all. Do you have some kind of syndrome or something?!"
Xiao Wu's eyes reddened from his words. After snapping back at him, she turned and ran into the dormitory.
Tang San shrugged, too lazy to explain anything. Xiao Wu was still far from worthy of his godfather. If he had to describe the kind of woman suitable for him, she should be slender, preferably with blue hair too. That way, she would be a perfect match for his godfather.
The moment he entered Dorm Seven, Tang San first glanced at Xiao Wu, who had hidden beneath her blanket and was quietly crying, then looked at Wang Sheng, who regarded him with awe and respect.
"They're all just children. Being with godfather is still more comfortable."
Tang San sat cross-legged on his bed and began cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
The more he cultivated, the more Tang San felt that his godfather had practically been born for the Tang Sect. Not only did he master the techniques in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record as soon as they were taught, but even his methods of using them were similar to Tang San's.
Tang San even had the illusion that he was teaching his future self. It was a strange feeling, but he enjoyed it.
"With godfather and me here, the Tang Sect's rise in this world is just around the corner!"
Meanwhile, in the faculty dormitories.
Tang Chuan had already returned to his high-class private room.
As soon as he entered, Tang Chuan impatiently sat cross-legged beside the bed.
As Soul Power surged, Tang Chuan's entire body became shrouded in blue light. The Blue Silver Emperor in his hand swayed without wind, its golden patterns radiating a dense aura of life.
Several Blue Silver Emperors continued growing with the support of his Soul Power, slowly wrapping around Tang Chuan to protect him.
At the same time, six soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—disguised by the Blue Silver Domain, appeared around him.
Soul Power surged continuously through his body, while the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within him circulated without pause. In the depths of his senses, Tang Chuan even felt that he had formed countless subtle connections with the sea.
"Is this... the stage for the Sea God Divine Trial?"
As his cultivation continued, Tang Chuan was surprised to discover that he seemed to have obtained something. Was this not Sea God Affinity?
It seemed that starting from his seventh soul ring, he would gradually gain affinity. But he definitely would not inherit the Sea God's divine position immediately after obtaining nine soul rings. After all, the affinity he had just received was not much at all.
When Tang San defeated Yu Xiaogang and obtained that belt, Tang Chuan had felt his template grow once more. This completely confirmed that the further things progressed, the more Tang San needed to be changed.
As for the Blue Silver Grass's earlier soul skills, things like Binding and Parasitism, Tang Chuan could not be bothered to use them. In the later stages, would it not be better to use a hammer, trident, or blade?
Boom!
A wave of air burst from Tang Chuan's body and spread outward. Fortunately, the Blue Silver Domain's gentle aura prevented it from wrecking the furniture.
Level sixty-nine!
He was only a tiny step away from breaking through to level seventy and unlocking his Martial Soul Avatar.
Tang Chuan's eyes flickered slightly. The feeling of not needing to cultivate around the clock was simply wonderful. As long as he taught Tang San well, he could gain cultivation, and he could also take the opportunity to torment that useless fellow.
Speaking of which, the person Tang Chuan had hated most in his previous life was that useless fellow.
He could spout all sorts of ridiculous nonsense, to the point that even Tang Chuan, an old straight-laced man, could barely keep a straight face after reading it.
But there was no helping it. Love Continent was just like that. Tang Chuan could not understand why Bibi Dong liked that useless fellow, nor why Liu Erlong liked him either.
A man with a plain crew cut who sweet-talked all day long, even his theories had been plagiarized. He had merely changed a few details and published them as his own.
Moreover, in the original work, his help to Tang San had been practically nonexistent. Aside from the set of equipment slots he gave him at the beginning, he only slightly improved the meditation method later on. Other than that, he could be said to have done nothing at all.
"It seems Ah Yin's matter and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well need to be put on the agenda."
Wisdom glimmered in Tang Chuan's azure eyes. If he wanted Tang San to become stronger, a trip to the Blue Silver Ancestral Land was inevitable. But Tang San's Soul Power Level was still too low. He needed to be at least above level twenty before going.
In that case, he could first help Tang San graduate early, then head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and finally visit the Blue Silver Ancestral Land.
Nuoding Academy's graduation requirement was level ten or above and a first soul ring. That was the requirement for an elementary Soul Master Academy. If Tang San wanted to participate in the Soul Master Tournament later, joining an advanced Soul Master Academy would also be necessary.
It was decided. Once this school year ended, he would help Tang San arrange early graduation. Tang Chuan could hardly wait any longer. Becoming a god and founding a legacy was every man's romance.
Knock, knock, knock!
A light knocking sounded. Through his senses, Tang Chuan could tell that the person outside was a Soul Ancestor of over level forty.
"Teacher Tang, there is something I need to ask of you."
Outside the door, Nuoding Academy's dean wiped the sweat seeping from his forehead, then carefully spoke toward the room.
Tang Chuan withdrew his Blue Silver Emperor and soul rings before opening the door. A white-haired elderly man in a suit stood outside. The instant Tang Chuan opened the door, he hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Your Excellency Tang Chuan, it's like this. Our academy's theory teacher, Yu Xiaogang, just requested leave. He seems to have been injured. I would like to ask you to teach tomorrow's theory class."
As if afraid Tang Chuan would refuse, the dean hurriedly added an explanation.
"But rest assured, you will absolutely not be teaching for free. The academy will provide compensation that satisfies you."
This was also a desperate measure on the dean's part. For some unknown reason, Yu Xiaogang had been beaten into that state, his entire body covered in tiny holes as though he had been pricked by needles.
It just so happened that the academy's other teachers knowledgeable in theory were absent as well, so the dean thought of this Lord Tang Chuan.
He was so young and already a Soul Emperor. He surely had his own insights into cultivation. If he agreed to teach, that would be perfect.
"Is that so..."
Tang Chuan stroked his chin. Under the dean's anxious, expectant gaze, he nodded and said,
"Then I'll teach one class. But the compensation you mentioned..."
"Rest assured, rest assured! The compensation will definitely satisfy you, Your Excellency!"
If he had to spend some money, so be it. A Soul Emperor this young surely understood theory for real. Otherwise, how could he have cultivated so quickly?
It seemed he would need to attend that class in person as well.
