I Awakened a God

"All right, old poison. Until we meet again."

Outside Heaven Dou City, Fang Yuan waved back at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan as he led Tang San away.

With matters here settled, he would be taking his disciple Tang San back to Notting City.

Dugu Bo wore a reluctant expression. "Fang boy, remember what I told you. If anything comes up, come find me!"

Fang Yuan laughed heartily and nodded.

With his strength, he could already be considered combat power on par with a Titled Douluo, but one could never have too much of that sort of thing.

Since Dugu Bo was willing, Fang Yuan naturally would not hesitate to trouble him.

Watching Fang Yuan and Tang San ride away in a carriage pulled by soul beast pegasi, Dugu Bo gradually withdrew his gaze.

He rubbed the head of Dugu Yan, who was also watching the two depart, and could not help sighing.

"What is it, Grandpa?" Hearing his sigh, Dugu Yan turned to look at him.

Dugu Bo's voice was somewhat forlorn. "Fang boy has left. That makes your chances much slimmer, Yan'er. They say the early bird catches the worm, while the late one suffers. For a man as extraordinarily gifted as Fang boy, since you failed to make the first move this time, you may not get another opportunity this good in the future."

Dugu Yan stared blankly as she listened to him.

A faint sense of regret rose in her heart.

Aside from his astonishing talent, the most unforgettable thing about the young man named Fang Yuan was that nearly perfect face.

Compared to Fang Yuan, all those suitors flocking around her suddenly seemed utterly bland.

Even Yu Tianheng, whom she had thought most highly of before, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was far too inferior to Fang Yuan. He suddenly seemed ordinary.

I should have hardened my heart and had Grandpa capture him, bring him home, and do whatever I wanted with him.

Dugu Yan could not help sighing, inexplicably feeling that she would regret this deeply someday.

Having accomplished the main objectives of this trip, Fang Yuan and Tang San returned to Notting City.

Although Notting City was quite far from Sunset Forest, the carriage pulled by soul beast pegasi was incredibly fast.

Including the time spent cultivating the Ice-Fire Golden Body Tempering in Sunset Forest and helping Dugu Bo and his granddaughter's martial souls mutate, only half a month had passed from the time the two left Notting City until their return.

Naturally, they had missed classes at Notting Academy during that half-month. However, most of the lessons taught at a junior soul master academy were rather mediocre. As a Soul Emperor, Fang Yuan could casually offer a word or two of guidance that often surpassed several days of classroom learning.

After returning to Notting City, Fang Yuan first drove the carriage to the Spirit Hall branch and returned it. Then, while he was there, he took Tang San to register as a soul master.

After awakening a martial soul, one was not yet considered an official soul master. Only after obtaining one's first soul ring and registering with Spirit Hall could one be regarded as an official soul master.

The Spirit Hall branch in Notting City was a huge domed structure more than twenty meters tall, divided into three floors.

Following his teacher Fang Yuan into the Spirit Hall branch, Tang San unexpectedly spotted an acquaintance at once: Su Yuntao, the Great Soul Master who had awakened his martial soul in Holy Soul Village.

Tang San hurriedly tugged on Fang Yuan's hand and told his teacher about it.

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then led Tang San toward Su Yuntao to meet the man who had personally unleashed the source of all evil.

In the original story, if Yu Xiaogang claimed that he had taught a god, that would be rather shameless.

After all, Yu Xiaogang's role throughout Tang San's journey was plain for all to see. Even if he had been better than tying up a dog, Tang San, who revered Heaven, Earth, ruler, parents, and teacher, would not have left him behind on Douluo Continent to await death after becoming a god.

But if Su Yuntao claimed that he had awakened a god, there would be nothing wrong with that.

If he had simply collected his salary without doing his job in Holy Soul Village back then and had not awakened Tang San's martial soul or tested his soul power, Tang San might truly have spent his entire life begging alongside Tang Hao.

Fang Yuan and Tang San came before Su Yuntao. At the moment, he was talking to another female soul master with a tall, voluptuous figure. Su Yuntao appeared to be doing everything he could to keep the conversation going, but the female soul master looked utterly bored.

Sensing the two approaching, Su Yuntao looked toward Fang Yuan and Tang San with a puzzled expression.

He had awakened the martial souls of far too many children and did not recognize Tang San at first.

However, among the two, Fang Yuan was wearing clothes only high-ranking soul masters would wear. Moreover, when Fang Yuan was not deliberately concealing his aura, one could faintly sense his extraordinary strength.

Su Yuntao and the female soul master beside him hurriedly bowed to Fang Yuan and addressed him as "my lord."

Tang San said excitedly beside Fang Yuan, "Master Su Yuntao, I'm Tang San. Do you remember the Blue Silver Grass martial soul with innate full soul power that you awakened in Holy Soul Village? This is my teacher, Fang Yuan. After you awakened my martial soul, Teacher took me in as his disciple."

Innate full soul power left a deep impression, and Su Yuntao immediately remembered.

Seeing an acquaintance, especially a child whose martial soul he had personally awakened, apparently accepted as the disciple of such an important figure, Su Yuntao felt somewhat gratified.

The female soul master, Sisi, looked the group over. From Su Yuntao's words and the child's words, she picked up on something and reached a conclusion.

She quickly stepped forward with a flattering smile and said in a seductive voice:

"Greetings, my lord. Have you brought your disciple here to test his soul power? I am a steward here. Please allow me to serve you."

As she spoke, she bowed to Fang Yuan, seemingly intentionally yet unintentionally pushing her chest toward him.

However, Fang Yuan did not even spare her a glance. His tone was calm. "No need. We're just registering and then leaving."

With that, he did not allow either of them to lead the way. He took Tang San's hand and headed toward the office area within the Spirit Hall branch.

After the two left, Sisi watched Fang Yuan's receding back and bit her lip unwillingly.

That child's teacher was not only unquestionably powerful, but also appeared very young—and he was handsome enough to move all Douluo Continent.

Failing to form a connection with him was truly one of life's greatest regrets!

As though suddenly recalling something, she turned to Su Yuntao.

"Yuntao, you know that child, right? Do you know where he lives? Does he live with his teacher?"

Looking at Sisi, who had ignored him just moments ago but was now speaking to him again, Su Yuntao suddenly felt an indescribable emotion.

The fondness he had felt for Sisi seemed to be quietly fading. In his eyes, Sisi no longer seemed as perfect as before.

Su Yuntao shook his head. "I don't know where they live, and I don't want to disturb them. I haven't finished this morning's work yet, so I'm leaving first."

With that, he turned and left beneath Sisi's somewhat astonished gaze.
