Question: How quickly could someone change their expression?
At the very least, Wang Tianyi and Tang San had been completely unable to react in time! By the time they came to their senses, Yu Xiaogang had already put on another face. He crouched down eagerly, staring fervently at Wang Tianyi. He began panting heavily without realizing it, his eyes brimming with excitement like a pig entering mating season.
If Tang San had been petrified when he heard Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power Level earlier, he completely shattered now! Thoroughly shattered—the kind that couldn't be glued back together even with 520 glue.
What the hell? Wasn't he supposed to be a theoretical master? Hadn't he just been furious? Arrogant before and respectful afterward—what a joke! How could Tang San's teacher have so little backbone? He admitted that a six-year-old One-Ring Soul Master at Level 14 was indeed astonishing, but there was no need to act like such a clown, was there?
Tang San had only just arrived in this world and did not understand many things, but Yu Xiaogang was different. He had been in the Soul Master world for decades! He had drawn upon the works of his predecessors to create his own theories and summarize some useful knowledge, so his experience was naturally extraordinary.
A first-year student who had just enrolled possessing Level 14 Soul Power—what did that mean? It meant Wang Tianyi's Innate Soul Power had to be above Level 9, and was most likely Innate Full Soul Power! Furthermore, this brat's first Soul Ring had to be a Hundred-Year Soul Ring approaching the limit! Although low-level Soul Masters cultivated quickly, not quickly enough to reach Wang Tianyi's absurd level. In Yu Xiaogang's eyes, this was no longer some brat who had offended him, but a future Titled Douluo! The perfect tool to help him complete his theories and become famous across the continent!
Tang San, with his Twin Martial Souls, was naturally the apple of his eye, but he was unwilling to let a genius like Wang Tianyi slip away either. Taking one disciple was taking one, and taking two was still taking disciples. If this brat's Martial Soul was some powerful mutated Martial Soul... Hehehe, Heaven had truly not treated Yu Xiaogang poorly!
If he took both boys as disciples, then in the future he would be the teacher of two Titled Douluo! If he imagined even more wildly, they would become two future gods! Becoming gods—he, their teacher, would benefit greatly as well. He might even ascend to the God Realm alongside them, use his formidable theoretical knowledge to impress the strongest expert in the God Realm, and casually take that person as his disciple too...
What was the big deal about training two gods? Yu Xiaogang wanted to become the teacher of God Kings, even the teacher of the entire God Realm!
At that thought, Yu Xiaogang was so delighted that snot bubbles nearly came out of his nose. If Wang Tianyi had known what he was thinking, he would have laughed until he could not breathe.
Yu Xiaogang: Little San, I chose the Datura Snake as your Soul Ring and gave you a useless Soul Skill like Entanglement. Do you resent me for it?
Tang San: I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime! Teacher, this is Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma...
Yu Xiaogang: Little San, now that you've become a God King, when are you taking your teacher to the God Realm so I can enjoy the good life?
God King Tang: Xiaogang, you've already broken through Level 30. Aren't you satisfied yet?
It could only be said that Yu Xiaogang truly had a knack for teaching disciples. He had forcibly cultivated Tang San, whose mind had been deeply rooted in the belief that Heaven, Earth, ruler, parents, and teacher must be honored, into the pure and pristine Tang Buddha. But no one else could be blamed for that. After all, Yu Xiaogang had only given Tang San significant help in his early days, and Tang San's single stalk of Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma had already repaid every debt he owed Yu Xiaogang—or at least, that was what Tang San believed. They owed each other nothing! If I took you to ascend to the God Realm, wouldn't the other gods laugh their teeth off when they learned that I, a dignified God King, had a teacher with only Level 30 Soul Power?
Watching Yu Xiaogang prattle on in front of him, spewing one alarmist claim after another, Wang Tianyi no longer had the strength to mock him. The smile on his face grew increasingly teasing, and the disdain in his eyes was nearly tangible as his arrogant nature took control.
[Detected that Yu Xiaogang wishes to take the host as a disciple! Choice triggered!] [Choice One: Kowtow and acknowledge him as your teacher! Treat Yu Xiaogang as your own biological father!] [Reward: The title "Invincible Heaven-Burning Flame Annihilation Abyss Terror Bootlicker of Nine Heavens Thunder Double-Foot Kick"! This title can stack your cultivation speed with that of your benefactor, Yu Xiaogang, causing your Soul Power Level to soar like a rocket!] [Choice Two: Yasi le lei (Eat shit, you)! Refuse directly!] [Reward: Guanjiangkou's Erlang, the True Lord Who Manifests Sainthood's "strongest" magical treasure—Flying Cape Experience Card ×1. Please use with caution; after all, stealing a dog's blanket is very impolite.] [Choice Three: Say nothing and beat him to death immediately!] [Reward: Soul Power Level ×2! What the hell is this idiot babbling about? Take my Armstrong-style Armstrong Spiral Ruyi Jingu Bang!]
The system prompt sounded once more, and Wang Tianyi's spirits lifted. As expected, it confirmed his guess! Aside from certain crucial events, encountering characters who had appeared in the original story made it easier to trigger system choices!
And right now, three choices lay before Wang Tianyi.
Join the group, go solo, or fight to his heart's content! The rewards were simple and crude, but Wang Tianyi could not help wanting to complain.
Was the reward for the first choice seriously for real? Never mind how it had come up with such a thunderous title—what the hell did it mean by stacking Yu Xiaogang's cultivation speed? This loser was already Level 29, and his Soul Power had not budged in eight hundred years. What use was stacking that? It would be more practical to give him a random pair of underwear.
The third choice was truly tempting! Soul Power ×2? That meant his current Level 14 Soul Power would directly become Level 28 Soul Power! A six-year-old Level 28 Soul Grandmaster? Such a monster had never appeared in the history of Douluo Continent! But it was only tempting. Wang Tianyi was not reckless enough to actually beat Yu Xiaogang to death with one strike. After all, Spirit Hall still had a crazy woman. If she learned that Yu Xiaogang had died by his hand, Wang Tianyi could directly transmigrate to another world...
After considering it back and forth, only the second choice suited Wang Tianyi's tastes. And Erlang, the True Lord Who Manifests Sainthood's magical treasure? The Heaven-Sweeping Cloak?
Actually, it was just Xiaotian Dog's blanket...
But in the Heavenly Court, if you called me Xiaotian Dog, I would not bother arguing with you. Yet after leaving the Heavenly Court and coming to this fantasy backwater world, what do you think you should call me?
Forget one of Xiaotian Dog's blankets—even a single strand of dog fur from his body would be an unparalleled divine weapon in the world of Douluo Continent! Although the Heaven-Sweeping Cloak only had one use, it was an utterly invincible trump card!
Thus, Wang Tianyi picked at his ear, then casually flicked the bit of grime he had dug out onto Yu Xiaogang's head.
"Take you as my teacher? Do you think I'm like that little idiot beside you? You long-winded fraud, you're a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster. What qualifications do you have to teach me? The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul? If they're really as awesome as you claim, then break through to Soul Elder and let me see!"
"And with your cultivation, what advice could you possibly give when I absorb Thousand-Year or even Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings in the future? After all, you've never absorbed them yourself. Still, I'm curious, Uncle. You speak so confidently about the Soul Ring limits of Soul Elders and even higher-level Soul Masters, but how do you know? What is your basis? And where did that basis come from?"
Question: How did you make a man blush with just two sentences?
Answer: Right in front of you!
