You Think You're Worthy???

"Damn, Oscar, the new students have seriously got game with girls lately. That Dai Mubai we met yesterday had a beauty beside him with curves in all the right places, a killer figure, and hips swaying with every step. If I could have one night of fun with her, it'd be worth it even if she drained me dry. And look at that guy just now—he's got two pure, cute little girls with him. I'm dying of envy... When do you think I'll be able to hook up with a girl that pretty?"

Zhang Nan led Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu farther away while Oscar and Ma Hongjun headed elsewhere, grumbling as they walked.

The more Ma Hongjun talked, the more excited he became. Thinking of the first time he had seen Zhu Zhuqing yesterday, strutting like a cat with that peach-shaped backside, his mind could not help conjuring up some indecent images.

"I'm jealous too. Sigh..."

Unlike Ma Hongjun, Oscar preferred girls who were a little more innocent, like the Ning Rongrong beside Zhang Nan. Unfortunately, she already belonged to someone else.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Nan led Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu outside the girls' dormitory.

"Rongrong, Xiao Wu, I still have some matters to handle, so I'll leave you two here!"

Zhang Nan had just received word from the Five Tiger Generals that they had found Yu Xiaogang's residence. It worked out perfectly since he had already brought the girls to the dormitory entrance.

"Okay!"

"Mhm!"

"Sect Master, it's here!"

Zhang Nan had already arrived beside the Five Tiger Generals. Following the direction they pointed, he saw a quiet two-story pavilion.

"Mm. Wait outside. I'll call you in when the time comes!"

After giving the Five Tiger Generals their instructions, Zhang Nan walked into the pavilion. He wanted to personally meet this legendary theory master.

Bang, bang, bang!

"Come in!"

A muffled voice came from the second floor. Zhang Nan pushed open the door and entered.

"Not bad. He sure knows how to pick a place to live!"

The interior was entirely wooden, styled like a simple, fresh retro villa. It was especially suited for someone like Yu Xiaogang, a man of few desires.

Zhang Nan went up to the second floor and saw Yu Xiaogang in the study next to the balcony.

At that moment, the system's detection prompt sounded!

Ding!

System detection...

Name: Yu Xiaogang

Gender: Male

Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao

Additional Information: Tang San's teacher, known as the Grandmaster, one of Shrek's deans, later the Imperial Preceptor of the Heaven Dou Empire...

--

Yu Xiaogang was reclining in his chair, reading a book. The floor had been kept exceptionally clean along the way, and the books on the desk were neatly arranged. He was somewhat different from the theory master Zhang Nan had imagined.

Judging from his habits, he seemed to have some real skill.

"Hmm?"

Yu Xiaogang did not put down his book. Instead, he glanced at Zhang Nan from the corner of his eye and asked, "Were you looking for me?"

"I want to show you something!"

Zhang Nan smiled calmly. Yu Xiaogang might look composed now, but he was in for a shock soon enough.

???

Whoosh!

As Yu Xiaogang stood there in confusion, two Martial Souls of different colors floated above Zhang Nan's left and right hands.

They were:

A golden Peerless Sword Case Martial Soul and a purple Shadow Nether Leopard Martial Soul.

Beneath the Peerless Sword Case Martial Soul was a purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Judging by its color, energy, and grade, it was at least seven thousand years old.

"Twin Martial Souls?"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened enormously. Only after blinking repeatedly and confirming it once again did his calm expression vanish, replaced by overwhelming shock.

Over the past several hundred years, countless Soul Masters had been born on Douluo Continent. Yet even including Zhang Nan, only three possessors of Twin Martial Souls had ever appeared in its entire history. Of course, Twin Martial Soul possessors shared one trait: an extremely high cultivation death rate. The first Twin Martial Soul possessor had been unable to withstand the immense soul power brought by the second Martial Soul and ultimately died when his body exploded.

Yet it had to be acknowledged that the heaven-defying cultivation speed of Twin Martial Souls was destined to propel their possessors to the ranks of top-tier Title Douluo, perhaps even beyond that realm to become the legendary "gods." However, if the secret to bearing that massive amount of soul power could not be solved, even basic survival would become a luxury.

In Douluo Continent's recorded history, the only person known to have cultivated Twin Martial Souls to their peak without suffering a bodily explosion was Martial Soul Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong.

"I never expected another Twin Martial Soul possessor to appear on Douluo Continent after so many years!" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in admiration before continuing, "Child, what is your name?"

"Zhang Nan!"

Yu Xiaogang studied the glowing Martial Souls in Zhang Nan's hands with satisfaction, letting out occasional cries of surprise. He vaguely sensed that this box-like Martial Soul contained a powerful energy.

"Good, good, good. Child, Twin Martial Souls are both a blessing and a curse to a Soul Master. Are you willing to become my student?"

Zhang Nan could not help but laugh at that. He had the cheat-like system, Twin Martial Souls, the Divine-Favored Physiques of the Evil God and the God of Slaughter, and five Title Douluo in the Five Tiger Generals.

What could a mere Yu Xiaogang possibly teach him?

Teach him how to pick up girls? Did he need Yu Xiaogang to teach him that too?

Or teach him how to make his Martial Soul mutate so his soul power could not surpass rank thirty?

Ridiculous!

"Forget about becoming your student. How about you hand over your Papal Token, and I spare your life?"

The Papal Token was a symbol of status bestowed by Martial Soul Hall upon other factions. Zhang Nan knew of three Papal Tokens that Martial Soul Hall had given away: the first was in the hands of the Clear Sky Sect, the second belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the third was held by the Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. There also seemed to be one in Yu Xiaogang's possession. After all, in the original story, Yu Xiaogang had used the Papal Token to meet Bibi Dong because Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls.

With the Five Tiger Generals at his side, Zhang Nan could fight those three sect factions if necessary, but snatching Yu Xiaogang's Papal Token was far more cost-effective.

That was also the main reason Zhang Nan had sought out Three-Cannon Gang.

"Who are you?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed at once. He immediately realized that the youth before him was far from ordinary.

Very few people knew about the Papal Token. Though it was not particularly useful, its holder could enter and leave the Papal Palace freely.

"Not talking? Then I'll have to take it by force!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

As soon as Zhang Nan finished speaking, five figures appeared at once and surrounded Yu Xiaogang.

"Who exactly are you people? I don't have any so-called Papal Token you're talking about!"

Yu Xiaogang's tone remained calm, but a flicker of panic crossed his face. When he had swept his gaze across the Five Tiger Generals, he discovered that each of them carried a mysterious aura of slaughter.

Furthermore, his years of theoretical knowledge told him that the Five Tiger Generals' Soul Master ranks could only be high, never low.
