Authoritative Gangzi

"Sigh, just when is this Tang San coming back?"

Douluo Continent, Notting City, outside the gates of Notting Academy.

A handsome young boy with short black hair was squatting there, idly toying with the stones on the ground.

The boy's name was Lu Li, not a native, but a transmigrator. At first, when he realized he had transmigrated and landed in Douluo Continent, he still harbored infinite expectations in his heart.

Yet, a month ago during the martial soul awakening, after finding that he had neither a martial soul nor innate spirit power, that speck of anticipation was completely shattered.

Transmigrating to Douluo Continent without a martial soul, what the hell is there to play with! Might as well restart!

Yet just as Lu Li fell into despair and intended to restart, his cheat arrived.

A cheat named the Fortune Double Replication System found him, binding to him under the identity of an ancestral star transmigrator.

Furthermore, that system forcefully bound Tang San's fortune.

In other words, whatever fortune Tang San possessed, he, Lu Li, could double-replicate!

However, it required Tang San to obtain that fortune first before he could replicate it. Moreover, each time he replicated, he had to be within a hundred meters of Tang San.

That was why he had run all the way to Notting City, with the sole purpose of getting close to Tang San and successfully double-replicating the other's fortune.

I wonder how the system judges Tang San's fortune.

Lu Li guessed aimlessly, feeling bored.

Actually, he had no confidence in his heart either. If the system judged Tang San's fortune to be those spirit bones, immortal herbs, and god positions, then he would simply have to suffer in vain for a dozen years.

For Lu Li, this was something he could not accept at all.

He had already transmigrated; if it was merely changing places to suffer, then he would rather not have transmigrated.

Besides, heaven knows whether he might die from some accident during these dozen or so years.

Just as Lu Li was letting his imagination run wild, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Detected that Tang San is within the host's one-hundred-meter range; beginning to double-replicate Tang San's fortune.]

[Tang San possesses twin martial souls and innate full spirit power. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the twin martial souls Ancestral Dragon and Tai'e Sword, and level 20 spirit power.]

[Tang San has a ninety-fifth-rank Title Douluo behind him. Congratulations to the host for acquiring a ninety-seventh-rank guard.]

[Tang San has learned the Profound Heaven Technique. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Nine Yin Profound Heaven Technique.]

[Tang San has a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast transformation by his side. Congratulations to the host for acquiring a two-hundred-thousand-year spirit beast mount (currently rushing over).]

[Tang San possesses the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night storage soul guidance device. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Ancestral Dragon Ring.]

Listening to the system's voice, Lu Li's breathing instantly choked.

Holy shit! I've struck it rich!

So that was how the system judged Tang San's fortune!

In an instant, Lu Li felt the power pouring frantically through his body, along with those two faint auras that were tightly bound to him.

Lu Li stood up with a sudden jerk, his gaze beginning to search all around for this lucky star, Tang San!

At that moment, out of an alley in the distance, two figures—one large and one small—walked out.

When Lu Li looked over, the first thing he saw was a shiny little flat-top haircut, coupled with a black scholar's robe.

When walking, the little flat-top was slightly raised at a 45-degree angle, hands clasped behind the back, and the middle-aged man's face even wore a trace of an enigmatic smile.

Beside him was a little boy whose facial features were ordinary, barely qualifying as human, and whose entire frame was rather thin.

Yet the gaze he cast toward the middle-aged man at his side was filled with fanaticism.

These two were none other than Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Tsk tsk tsk, that little flat-top is really shiny.

Watching Yu Xiaogang, who was putting on the airs of an expert, Grandmaster's famous quote couldn't help but surface in Lu Li's mind.

There are no trash martial souls, only trash spirit masters.

Because of this very sentence, Lu Li's impression of Yu Xiaogang was exceptionally deep.

After all, you truly couldn't find a second person on this continent who could insult himself twice in a single sentence!

One could only say that Gangzi's authority was still too high; absolutely no one could compare to him.

In the distance, although Yu Xiaogang's face had consistently worn an enigmatic smile, he felt extremely miserable on the inside.

As a teacher, he had taken his newly accepted disciple to hunt for his first spirit ring, only to fall asleep first when a suitable spirit beast appeared.

If not for his disciple stumbling upon a lucky break and stabbing the Mandrake Snake's fatal spot with a small dagger, otherwise the master and disciple would have both perished right there in the Spirit Hunting Forest.

For this Grandmaster-tier powerhouse possessed of astonishing wisdom, this was simply too humiliating.

It damaged his lofty image in his disciple's heart!

No way, this Grandmaster must find a way to redeem this Grandmaster's image in Xiao San's heart.

The hands Yu Xiaogang kept behind his back clenched tightly into fists.

However, he was overthinking things entirely. At that moment, in Tang San's eyes, he was practically a second father.

No matter what bizarre thing he did, Tang San would simply believe it was his father figure's painstaking guidance!

Just then, he saw Lu Li standing at the gates of Notting Academy and locking eyes with him.

The moment he saw Lu Li, Yu Xiaogang's eyes immediately rolled around.

I've got it!

Yu Xiaogang looked at Lu Li, a method to salvage his image forming in his mind.

This Grandmaster's cultivation is that of a Soul Grandmaster, while that kid at most has level five or six Spirit Power. As long as I display a bit of my strength in front of him, he will undoubtedly address me as senior with the utmost respect!

By then, won't this Grandmaster's image in Xiao San's heart become towering and magnificent once again?

With Tang San being the hope for him to prove his talents, he absolutely would not allow any blemishes on his towering image in Tang San's heart—not even the slightest one!

Although Lu Li had no idea what Yu Xiaogang was thinking, when he saw the look in Yu Xiaogang's eyes as the man gazed at him—a gaze resembling that of someone who had just discovered a rare treasure—he still couldn't help but shudder involuntarily.

He certainly didn't want to be targeted by Yu Xiaogang, nor did he want to take the man as his master like Tang San did.

After all, he already had his own cheat; if he took a master on top of that, wouldn't his cheat have gone to waste?

Yet just as Lu Li intended to lift his foot and leave, he was halted by Yu Xiaogang's cold voice.

"Hey! Stop right there, kid! What are you sneaking around for at the gates of Notting Academy?"

"If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't it be class time right now? As a student of the academy, instead of attending class, what are you doing out here at the gates? Are you trying to skip class?"

Yu Xiaogang wore a cold expression, his weathered, stubbly face turning exceptionally stern.

Tang San looked in the direction of his teacher's gaze, his eyes filled with disgust.

He held utter contempt for the act of skipping class that his teacher mentioned.

He, Tang San, despised nothing more than people who failed to cherish their classes and wanted to skip them!

Lu Li understood that Yu Xiaogang was talking about him, seeing as there wasn't a third child around besides him and Tang San.

Yet Lu Li was deeply puzzled. It wasn't hard for him to discern from Yu Xiaogang's tone that the man seemed to be intentionally picking a fight with him.

This confused him greatly. This was his very first time meeting Yu Xiaogang, so it was completely impossible for the two sides to have any kind of grudge.

Still, Lu Li had no intention of paying Gangzi any mind.

Now that he had his cheat in hand, was he going to stop just because Gangzi told him to?

Did he, Lu Li, have no pride to uphold?

Lu Li simply glanced at Yu Xiaogang, then went on his own way toward the distance.

Seeing that Lu Li actually dared to defy his words, Yu Xiaogang's expression immediately shifted.

How audacious!

If he, Yu Xiaogang, couldn't beat that Mandrake Snake, could he not even handle a kid like you?!

When Tang San saw Lu Li ignore his teacher's command, a trace of anger surfaced on his face as well.

So bold! To actually dare disobey the command of my great teacher! He deserves a beating!

Just as Tang San wanted to rush over and demand why Lu Li was defying his teacher's order,

Yu Xiaogang, standing beside him, made his move.

"Insolent! How dare you defy a teacher's words!"

The next instant, two yellow spirit rings appeared beneath his feet, while a fat, strange purple creature resembling a cross between a pig and a dog materialized beside him.

"Sanpao! Stop him!"

Luo Sanpao sensed its master's anger and, without a second thought, charged in front of Lu Li, baring its teeth.

Lu Li looked at the Luo Sanpao before him, the dog-world KK Park coming to mind.

Baring your teeth?! Bring it on!
