"Who the hell was that? What was he spouting nonsense about?"

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment after hearing the master's words, then her temper flared.

Who was that guy?

What gave him the right to criticize her? How annoying!

This was only because they were at the academy. If they had been in the Star Dou Great Forest

Sister Xiao Wu would have kicked that bastard to death already.

"Who knows? What was that good-for-nothing putting on airs for?"

"He's fifty and still hasn't broken through level thirty. He's accomplished nothing his entire life."

"He freeloads here, yet he still thinks he's better than everyone else!"

Qin Qi cursed indignantly while secretly refining the Hundred-Year Soul Ring he had stolen from Yu Xiaogang.

Keeping that Soul Ring was a waste anyway. It might as well go to him.

No, that was mine to begin with!

Qin Qi had truly mastered the part of the Formless Hand that forgot its roots!

After refining it, Qin Qi's physical qualities improved once more, and he now possessed three Soul Rings.

Two yellow, one white.

"Well said! If I run into that stinking old man again, I'll definitely curse him out properly."

"And you two weaklings, we were fighting someone. What were you doing?"

"Don't you know how to help? We're even in the same dormitory. It's embarrassing to live with you."

Xiao Wu had been scolded for no reason and was already upset. Looking at Tang San and Wang Sheng, she immediately flew into a rage.

"Hmph."

After hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San thought of that Mysterious Heaven Skill General Outline again.

His gaze turned cold. He had probably marked Xiao Wu as someone with a death wish too.

He got up and left. He was going to find his "reclusive master," Teacher Yu Xiaogang.

"What was he acting so arrogant for? We're both new students, both work-study students. What gave him the right to act like that?"

Xiao Wu immediately stood up, ready to teach Tang San a lesson and let him know who was the boss of the dormitory.

"Forget about him. His dad was a drunk, and when he was carrying him around, he accidentally dropped him on his head."

"So that's why he's like this. Let's keep eating."

Qin Qi casually brushed it off aloud, but inwardly, he had already begun planning to steal Luo Sanpao.

After Tang San left, he went to Yu Xiaogang's room.

"What is your Second Martial Soul? Show it to me."

Yu Xiaogang's tone was somewhat impatient.

He could not wait to see what top-tier Martial Soul his genius disciple possessed!

"Teacher... I really do feel that I have a Second Martial Soul, but for some reason, I can't summon it."

Tang San lowered his head. Though he knew it sounded absurd, he could only force himself to say it.

"..."

Yu Xiaogang's excited expression instantly froze, and his stiff smile gradually faded.

"What do you mean, you feel that you have a Second Martial Soul, but can't summon it?"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were full of suspicion. He felt as though the disciple he had just accepted might be fooling him.

"It means exactly what it sounds like. I feel that I have one, but I can't summon it."

Tang San felt as if Yu Xiaogang's gaze were silver needles stabbing into his heart.

"If you can't summon it, then you don't have one!"

Yu Xiaogang could not hold back his roar. His expression became utterly ferocious!

He had once learned about Twin Martial Souls from Bibi Dong.

He had thought he had encountered a genius.

But he had not expected to have misjudged him!

What he had encountered was a piece of trash!

Trash with nothing but Blue Silver Grass!

How could trash like this prove his theories? How could it wash away his humiliation?

"Teacher, but I have Innate Full Soul Power."

Tang San noticed the change in Yu Xiaogang's attitude toward him. When Yu Xiaogang had thought he possessed Twin Martial Souls

His gaze had been so fervent that it seemed capable of burning Tang San to charcoal.

But after learning that he had no Second Martial Soul

His eyes were as cold as winter, and his disdain was completely exposed.

"So what if you have Innate Full Soul Power? Your Blue Silver Grass is still nothing but trash!"

"You'll never amount to anything in your entire life!"

Yu Xiaogang was burning with rage and could not stop himself from saying it.

After saying it, Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized something.

That was why Tang San had so decisively acknowledged him as his teacher.

So this brat was trash, and he wanted to cling to Yu Xiaogang's influence!

He wanted to use Yu Xiaogang's invincible theories to make something of himself!

"But you said before that there are no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters."

Listening to Yu Xiaogang belittle him, Tang San clenched his fists so tightly that his teeth ground together.

His lowered head slowly lifted. As he looked at Yu Xiaogang, a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes!

Mysterious Heaven Skill General Outline: Tang Sect disciples did not take the initiative to insult others, but when insulted, they must retaliate with thunderous means.

"Then you're a trash Soul Master with a trash Martial Soul. All right, all right, get out."

"Don't waste any more of my time."

Yu Xiaogang dropped all pretense. He could not even be bothered to exchange polite words with Tang San anymore.

A Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul from some backwater village, even with Innate Full Soul Power

He was still destined to amount to nothing. So what if Yu Xiaogang insulted him?

He was the master, while the one before him was merely some poor brat!

He could not even be bothered to pretend anymore.

"I've already acknowledged you as my teacher. You said that becoming master and disciple was an important matter, something that couldn't be easily regretted."

Tang San wanted nothing more than to kill the person before him who had insulted him.

But he endured it. He was still weak, while the man before him was the academy's master.

He seemed to be a person of status. Tang San needed to rely on him temporarily to grow stronger.

"Hmph. So you really became my disciple just to cling to me."

Yu Xiaogang looked down at Tang San and sneered inwardly.

The disdain in his eyes grew even stronger.

Although he had been driven out of his clan, he still possessed the pride of a disciple of the Upper Three Sects.

He was different from these rural commoners.

He was also the master whose theories were invincible. Even the current Pope had once pursued him!

"Fine. Since I've accepted you, I won't go back on it."

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to find a Soul Ring."

On second thought, having a boy with Innate Full Soul Power as his student was not bad.

In the future, he could casually order him to do this and that.

He would let those who mocked him see clearly.

Even a genius with Innate Full Soul Power could only bow and scrape before a master like him.

"Creak, creak!"

Tang San's teeth ground together. Being treated like some stray dog on the roadside made him furious.

But he held it in and swore in his heart.

Once he became powerful, he would surely avenge today's humiliation!

Just like back in the Tang Sect, so long as he was given a chance, he would surely make a name for himself in one stroke!

Tang Xiaosan really knew how to endure!

That night, after everyone had gone to sleep, Qin Qi secretly slipped over to Yu Xiaogang's room.

"First Soul Skill: Sleight of Hand."

Qin Qi peered into the room through the window and confirmed that Yu Xiaogang was asleep.

He then directly passed through space and sent the Formless Hand into Yu Xiaogang's body.

"Hmm, this consumes quite a bit of Soul Power."

Qin Qi felt that sending the Formless Hand into Yu Xiaogang's body consumed far more Soul Power than moving through empty air normally did.

"There's Soul Power inside a Soul Master's body. Does that increase the consumption of my Sleight of Hand?"

As Qin Qi thought this, the Formless Hand had already returned.

In its grasp was a yellow, puppy-like Soul Beast.

This used the manga setting. Luo Sanpao in the anime was simply too ugly; I really couldn't accept it.
