Yu Xiaogang Failed to Take a Disciple

"I've studied six hundred and forty-seven people whose Martial Souls were Blue Silver Grass. Sixteen of them possessed soul power, a probability of three percent."

"And according to one of the Ten Core Competencies I developed, Innate Soul Power is directly proportional to the quality of one's Martial Soul."

"It is absolutely impossible for a worthless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass to awaken with Innate Full Spirit Power. Therefore, I'm certain that you possess another extremely powerful Martial Soul."

Yu Xiaogang spoke with absolute certainty, his tone brimming with confidence.

Tang San: "..."

He'd thought the man was someone impressive, but it turned out he was just guessing?

Although the man had indeed guessed correctly, Tang San's other Martial Soul was also useless. It had nothing to do with being powerful.

From that alone, the man's bullshit theory was clearly unreliable.

"A theory that hasn't been tested in practice is nothing but nonsense. At least for now, your theory isn't reliable."

Tang San shook his head and suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

It wasn't worth becoming a rat skulking in the gutter over such a self-righteous man.

Yu Xiaogang's brows furrowed slightly at his words.

Could I have guessed wrong? That shouldn't be possible. He clearly reacted so strongly just now. He must have Twin Martial Souls.

Yu Xiaogang smiled at Tang San, still wearing an expression of utter confidence.

"Child, knowing how to conceal your abilities is a good thing. But no matter how talented you are, you need a famous teacher's guidance to turn that talent into strength."

"And I, the number one theoretical master in the Spirit Master world, am your best choice."

"Without my guidance, even if you have Twin Martial Souls, your future achievements won't amount to much. Are you sure you want to refuse me?"

Tang San rather agreed with Yu Xiaogang's words.

The more talented one was, the more one needed a famous teacher's guidance.

Achievements aside, having a famous teacher would at least save him from taking many detours.

However, Yu Xiaogang didn't feel like any sort of famous teacher to him at the moment.

"Sorry, I really don't have Twin Martial Souls, nor am I the genius you're looking for. Please give me my work-study student certificate."

Tang San held out his hand for the work-study student certificate.

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed. He stared intensely at Tang San, as though trying to see through him with his gaze.

How could his theory possibly be wrong?

A worthless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass should count its blessings if it awakened Innate Soul Power. How could it possibly support Innate Full Spirit Power?

Besides, the boy's reaction just now explained everything.

He clearly had Twin Martial Souls, and Yu Xiaogang had guessed it right. Faced with an expert like him, shouldn't the boy have immediately bowed and begged to become his disciple?

Why was he stubbornly refusing to admit it?

Yu Xiaogang didn't know where things had gone wrong, but he understood that haste made waste.

Taking a disciple was like courting a girl—the more anxious you were, the more aloof the other party would become.

Now that Tang San had developed a resistance toward him, what he needed to do wasn't expose him, but gradually prove himself.

Once the boy understood how powerful his theories were, he would naturally beg to become his disciple.

"Since I promised that old man I'd look after you, I'll see it through. Come on, I'll take you to enroll."

Yu Xiaogang no longer mentioned Twin Martial Souls or taking a disciple.

Someone with Innate Full Spirit Power would need to obtain a Spirit Ring eventually, wouldn't they?

Given his relationship with the principal of Notting Academy, it wouldn't be difficult to secure that opportunity.

Once they were on the way to the Soul Hunting Forest and he helped Tang San obtain his first Spirit Ring, the boy would understand just how powerful his theories were.

By then, Tang San would revere him as a god.

"Thank you, Master."

Tang San didn't refuse either. After thanking him, he obediently followed behind him.

The two soon arrived at the Academic Affairs Office.

"Old Su, help this child complete his enrollment."

Yu Xiaogang handed Tang San's work-study student certificate to Director Su. The latter took it and glanced at it, immediately revealing a shocked expression.

"Another one with Innate Full Spirit Power?"

"Hm?"

Yu Xiaogang immediately caught the keyword in his words.

"You said another?"

Director Su nodded. "Two more with Innate Full Spirit Power came in just now, and one of them has already reached level fourteen soul power."

"How much?"

Yu Xiaogang stared at Director Su in stunned disbelief.

Level fourteen?

Was this a joke?

Since the other party had chosen to enroll at Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy, that meant he couldn't be very old. Yet he was already level fourteen?

Wasn't that a little absurd?

"Teacher, was one of those two named Lin Chen?"

Tang San suddenly asked.

Old Jack had said that Lin Chen had gone out to work on the day he awakened his Martial Soul. By now, he should have come to enroll as well.

"Huh, you know him?"

Director Su looked at Tang San in surprise.

"Yes, he's from the same village as me."

Tang San nodded.

"Wow, two people with Innate Full Spirit Power all at once. Your village is really something."

Director Su unconsciously lowered his head to look at the work-study student certificate in his hand, his gaze falling on the words Wang Soul Village written on it.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Tang San, a suspected owner of Twin Martial Souls, and now two more with Innate Full Spirit Power.

Could it be...

Was this Heaven's reward for him?

Yu Xiaogang's hands behind his back unconsciously clenched into fists.

With Innate Full Spirit Power, as long as they didn't slack off, reaching Titled Douluo would be absolutely no problem. If he could take all three as disciples...

Once they became Titled Douluo, who in the entire Spirit Master world would dare question his theories?

"Let me see their files."

Yu Xiaogang forcibly suppressed his excitement and spoke to Director Su in a commanding tone.

Director Su frowned slightly.

If anyone else dared speak to him like that, he certainly wouldn't indulge them. But unfortunately, this man was a friend of Notting Academy's principal.

Thus, despite his displeasure, he still pulled out the two files.

As Yu Xiaogang examined Lin Chen and Xiao Wu's files, Tang San also stood on tiptoe to look.

[Name: Lin Chen

Martial Soul: Dragon Roar Sword

Age: 6

Level: 14]

When Tang San saw Lin Chen's level, his pupils suddenly contracted.

In just three short months, Lin Chen had actually reached level fourteen, while Tang San himself was still stuck at level ten.

"How is that possible?"

When Yu Xiaogang saw Lin Chen's age and level, he couldn't help crying out in shock.

When he'd first heard level fourteen, he hadn't thought much of it. He'd assumed the other party might already be seven or eight years old. But now he was being told that the boy was only six?

Level fourteen at six years old—how was that possible?

He abruptly turned to look at Tang San.

"Did this Lin Chen awaken his Martial Soul with you, or is he one or two years older than you?"

Tang San said, "We awakened them together."

Yu Xiaogang's brows immediately knitted tightly together.

How could someone who had just awakened their Martial Soul shoot straight to level fourteen?

It wasn't that Yu Xiaogang was ignorant. Rather, such an outrageous genius had never appeared in the entire history of Spirit Masters.

No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't understand how Lin Chen had managed it.
