Yu Xiaogang Still Wanted to Take Lu Yuan as His Disciple

"Master, you..."

Tang Hao froze for a moment, then slowly loosened his large, callused hands.

Yu Xiaogang dropped heavily, staggering as he nearly fell on the spot.

"Master, how did you end up like this?"

Tang Hao frowned, his expression strange.

"Ow~"

Yu Xiaogang rubbed the back of his neck, his old face flushing as he stammered,

"Your Excellency Clear Sky, something happened to my body. My beast spirit, which originally manifested separately from me, has become a beast spirit that possesses my body."

"Just now, I merely wanted to carefully study what had caused it, so I activated my martial spirit possession alone in the room."

Tang Hao nodded, suppressing the urge to mock him inwardly as he said seriously, "Master, we could be considered acquaintances."

"Others may think you are nothing but trash, a madman, but I know that you are a persistent man."

"That is precisely why I felt at ease letting Xiao San take you as his master."

Yu Xiaogang dispelled his martial spirit possession, his lips twitching slightly. "Your Excellency Clear Sky, what did you wish to say to me?"

Tang Hao said, "I will not remain in Notting City for long."

"Perhaps I will leave after some time. The only one I worry about is Xiao San."

"As Xiao San's father, I should have come out to meet you sooner, rather than showing myself in that manner at the Soul Hunting Forest."

Yu Xiaogang recalled how Tang Hao had nearly scared him to death in the Soul Hunting Forest, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"That is only natural. After all, the Soul Ring I chose for Xiao San truly had too low an age limit."

Tang Hao nodded and said blandly, "I hope to entrust Xiao San to you. After all, he is also your disciple, is he not?"

Yu Xiaogang said, "Although I believe that leaving Xiao San like this is too cruel for him."

"Since you have entrusted him to me, however, I will naturally fulfill my responsibility."

"After Xiao San returns to the academy, he will fight a child from Notting Academy named Lu Yuan. I hope you can watch."

Tang Hao looked surprised. "Lu Yuan? Is there something special about him?"

Yu Xiaogang was a notable figure in the soul master world. Even after being dejected for so many years, his judgment should not be poor.

Any child worth mentioning from him was surely extraordinary.

Yu Xiaogang said, "This child's martial spirit is a weapon spirit called the Sky-Propelling Spear. He has Innate Full Soul Power."

Tang Hao's gaze sharpened, and he immediately understood. "I did not expect such a genius to exist even in this tiny place."

Innate Full Soul Power was rare even across the entire Douluo Continent.

Back in the Clear Sky Sect, only he, Tang Hao, had awakened Innate Full Soul Power.

Not even his elder brother, Tang Xiao, had Innate Full Soul Power.

Yu Xiaogang carefully chose his words. "Your Excellency, Xiao San may lose this battle."

"The Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world, is certainly stronger than that Sky-Propelling Spear, but it cannot be exposed."

"Xiao San is currently cultivating Blue Silver Grass, and his first Soul Ring..."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang paused and cautiously glanced at Tang Hao.

Tang Hao nodded, signaling for him to continue.

Yu Xiaogang continued, "Xiao San's first soul skill has no offensive power. It will be difficult for him to defeat Lu Yuan."

Tang Hao frowned and said coldly, "After saying all that, are you merely trying to belittle my son?"

"No, Your Excellency, you misunderstand."

Realizing that Tang Hao had misunderstood, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly got to the point.

"That Lu Yuan is also a rare genius. I hope he can become Xiao San's right-hand man. The two can encourage each other and grow stronger without end."

"A right-hand man..."

Tang Hao fell silent.

He suddenly thought of Titan.

Titan was utterly loyal to him, and the Strength Clan was also the only single-attribute clan that truly served him.

That counted as his right-hand support.

Yu Xiaogang's meaning was likely that he wanted Lu Yuan to assist Xiao San.

Tang Hao asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Lu Yuan was exceptionally talented. If he could assist Xiao San, then in the future, when facing Spirit Hall, he might become a force not to be underestimated.

There was no reason for Tang Hao to refuse.

Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "Your Excellency, after Lu Yuan and Xiao San finish sparring,

you can privately seek out Lu Yuan and reveal your strength."

"Lu Yuan is merely a commoner from a remote little city. How could he have ever seen a Titled Douluo?"

"Once he sees your Soul Rings, he will surely hold you in great awe."

"Then, reveal your father-son relationship with Xiao San and persuade him to take me as his master."

"When he sees that even the son of a Titled Douluo willingly became my disciple, he certainly will not refuse!"

"As long as he becomes my disciple, I can subtly guide him and make him take Xiao San as his core."

Yes, Yu Xiaogang had laid so much groundwork because he wanted to take Lu Yuan as his disciple.

In his view, with Clear Sky Douluo personally stepping forward, how could Lu Yuan not bow his head and become his disciple?

Could he not see that Clear Sky Douluo's son had already entered Yu Xiaogang's tutelage?

This time, Yu Xiaogang was brimming with confidence!

He even planned to give Lu Yuan several difficult tests to torment him before allowing him to become his disciple!

After all, who told that bastard to dare reject him back then?

Tang Hao's expression turned strange, and he could not help asking, "Master, if you want to take him as your disciple, why not speak to him yourself?"

Yu Xiaogang looked somewhat embarrassed. "Ahem, Your Excellency Clear Sky, Lu Yuan believes every rumor he hears."

"He listened to the negative evaluations of me from those people at Notting Academy, which is why he refused to take me as his master."

"But that is not necessarily a bad thing. He lacks his own opinions, making it easier to guide him into assisting Xiao San."

Tang Hao nodded and said blandly, "What you say makes sense."

"I will help you with this matter."

"Also, take this."

After saying that, he raised a hand and waved it.

A jet-black token landed on the table with a clatter.

Elsewhere.

Xiao Chenyu hurriedly found Lu Yuan and said urgently, "Boss Lu, one of our guys saw Tang San not long ago."

"But he left the academy. We do not know what he went out to do."

"Should we send someone to notify those work-study students to fight at the back mountain?"

"Tang San is back?"

Lu Yuan raised a brow and casually waved his hand. "Notify everyone. Gather at the training ground first."

"Alright, I'll have Liu Long go to Seven Dormitory and inform that little girl."

Xiao Chenyu excitedly turned and ran off.

More than ten minutes later.

Tang San returned to Seven Dormitory.

Before he could even sit down, Xiao Wu grabbed him. "Tang San, you came at just the right time. Come out with us."

Tang San frowned suspiciously. "What are you doing?"

Wang Sheng said, "Tang San, Sister Xiao Wu is taking us work-study students to challenge those wealthy students under Boss Lu. Liu Long just came with a message telling us to go to the training ground."

"Who is Boss Lu?" Tang San frowned.

He suddenly recalled the child who had insulted his teacher at the Academic Affairs Office that day. Perhaps this Boss Lu was him.

Wang Sheng said, "Tang San, Boss Lu is called Lu Yuan."

"He also said before that he had arranged to fight you. You should know him, right?"

So it really was him... Tang San understood, then nodded. "I met him once. Since we are going to fight those people, let's go."
