Yu Xiaogang: This Feels Pretty Good...

Tang San felt as though he had just had a nightmare.

The scenes in that dream were beyond description. Any attempt to explain them would only make the words seem incapable of forming such a sentence.

When Tang San jolted awake from his sleep, his clothes had already been soaked through with cold sweat. He looked around and found himself lying in his own bed.

"Was it a dream? Yes, it must have been! Something that absurd couldn't possibly have happened, right?"

Tang San consoled himself, his tone exceptionally certain. Seeing that Tang San was awake, the other work-study students in the dormitory all came forward to check on him. Yet Tang San noticed that they seemed to be deliberately keeping some distance from him. Though they hid it well, he still caught a trace of disgust deep in their eyes.

Suddenly, Tang San smelled a foul stench. His nose twitched twice, only for him to discover that the smell was coming from himself.

"Little San, you're awake! That's great! Are you all right?"

Xiao Wu rushed over in a flurry, her eyes brimming with concern. She held an ice pack in her hand, and the bruise on her exposed left arm clearly reminded Tang San that the "nightmare" he had suffered was no dream.

In that instant, Tang San's world came crashing down!

How was this possible? I... I was actually violated by that bastard... by Teacher's Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, that pig that only knew how to fart...

If this body had not possessed such outstanding talent, Tang San would have wanted to delete his account and start over!

"Um, Little San, don't be sad. Wang Tianyi is a pervert. We should stay farther away from him from now on!"

Xiao Wu certainly knew how to talk. With just one sentence, she made Tang San recall those unbearable scenes. Tang San said nothing, clearly on the verge of collapse!

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San clenched his fists so tightly that his teeth ground together!

How could he possibly let today's humiliation go?

Wang Tianyi, I, Tang San, will never coexist with you under the same sky!!!

The killing intent around Tang San was impossible to conceal. This was the first time he had wanted so desperately to kill someone! The sheer force of his presence frightened the work-study students beside him. Tang San put on his shoes, ignored everyone else, and headed straight for Yu Xiaogang's residence.

"Come in!"

Tang San knocked on the door, and an exceedingly weak voice came from inside.

"Teacher!"

On the way there, Tang San believed he had thoroughly prepared himself mentally. But when he saw Yu Xiaogang lying facedown on the bed, along with the bandages wrapped around the man's backside, no amount of mental preparation could help!

"Little San..."

Master and disciple looked at each other. What could they say? Were they supposed to discuss how each of them felt?

The room fell into a long silence, its heavy atmosphere deeply uncomfortable.

In the end, Yu Xiaogang relied on the thick skin he had developed while roaming the Soul Master world to break the awkward stalemate between them.

"Little San, you should feel ashamed, but you cannot be defeated by this shame! A temporary setback is nothing. After all, you are only One-Ring Soul Masters right now! But what about the future? Do not forget that you possess Twin Martial Souls. Your future is far broader than Wang Tianyi's!"

"The pain he brought you today should become the courage that drives your growth! As your teacher, I will train you into the continent's greatest Titled Douluo. You should have that confidence as well!"

Yu Xiaogang did have some skill with words. In just a few sentences, he turned the humiliation Tang San had suffered today into a minor setback on the path to becoming strong. Seeing that Tang San had been encouraged enough, he changed the subject and began discussing the power of Tang San's soul skills. Within barely more than ten minutes, Tang San's expression had improved considerably, and his usual vigor returned.

However, some matters still had to be faced.

"Teacher, that Wang Tianyi is truly arrogant beyond measure, and his character has serious flaws as well..."

"Don't worry, Little San. Your teacher knows what you want to say. A person like that is unworthy of becoming my, Yu Xiaogang's, disciple! Your teacher has decided to devote all the knowledge of my life to you! Cultivate diligently. When the day comes for you to graduate, your teacher will introduce you to an outstanding Soul Master Academy!"

Yu Xiaogang beckoned, signaling Tang San to come closer. He took out a book from beside his pillow and placed it in Tang San's hands. It was none other than the theoretical work he took such pride in, the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul! It even bore his personal signature...

"Your teacher needs time to recuperate, so cultivate in peace. You may read this book in your spare time. As for that brat... don't worry. Your teacher has spent many years in the Soul Master world and has some connections. I will definitely help you vent this anger!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San's face lit up with delight. He treated the book in his hands like a priceless treasure, fondling it with such reluctance to put it down that he completely failed to notice the strange look in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

There were some things Yu Xiaogang would not say, at least not yet. After parting from the two beauties who had loved him, the self-proclaimed lofty man had remained alone all this time. An occasional bit of excitement... well, it actually felt pretty good...

After reminding Tang San of several matters to watch out for during cultivation, Yu Xiaogang watched him leave. Lying facedown on the bed, Yu Xiaogang's eyes were filled with venom.

"Such a genius cannot be allowed to exist if he cannot be used by me! Hmph, he is merely the son of a useless Soul Elder. No matter how high his talent is, what can it change? My disciple surpassed you from the moment he was born! Just wait. Wait for His Excellency's boundless fury!"

Yu Xiaogang had already conceived the idea of getting rid of Wang Tianyi! He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. Wang Tianyi had earned himself a death sentence! As for how to eliminate him, Tang San's father was no useless Soul Elder. He was a genuine Titled Douluo! Surely that man would be more than willing to vent his anger for his son!

With such a powerful backing, Yu Xiaogang's expression improved considerably. He lay facedown on the bed, feeling the pain coming from behind him, yet an inexplicable flush appeared on his face...

Naturally, Wang Tianyi had no idea that Yu Xiaogang was already planning to eliminate him. Even if he knew, he would not care! Given Yu Xiaogang's current circumstances, the strongest person he could invite would only be a Titled Douluo. What, did they think his Heaven-Sweeping Cloak did not exist?

After the Notting Academy duel ended, Wang Tianyi's life returned to normal. After displaying his formidable strength, no one dared disturb him again. Whenever Xiao Wu and Tang San saw him, they avoided him as though he were the plague. Aside from Xiao Yan, who occasionally played dumb and came over to chat with him, barely qualifying as a friend, everyone else was nothing more than passing clouds in Wang Tianyi's eyes.

Praise, flattery, ingratiation... Wang Tianyi had heard far too much of it!

To be fair, Wang Tianyi enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, but such ordinary praise meant nothing to him. Rather than waste time on it, he might as well circulate his Soul Power one more time.

The current situation was far from optimistic. Wang Tianyi knew that the Clear Sky Douluo would come looking for him before long, and his Heaven-Sweeping Cloak was destined to be used. However, if he could trap Tang Hao, he might be able to seize some top-tier treasures!

With confidence in his heart, he naturally feared neither wind nor rain. Time quietly passed amid such a life, and in the blink of an eye, the first semester came to an end...
