Tang San: Let Heaven Judge the Loyal and the Treacherous
"Grandmaster, Xiao Wu and I have both broken through to the Soul Power Level 20 Soul Grandmaster."
"You won't learn anything if you stay at the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy."
"It would be better to drop out now or graduate and enter a higher-level Soul Master Academy."
"It is said that advanced Soul Master Academy possess Mimicry Cultivation Environment that can significantly increase the cultivation speed of Soul Master."
Under the camouflage effect of the Blue Silver Domain, Xu Yuan and Xiao Wu each released their first two Soul Ring.
The four Hundred-Year Soul Ring, radiating a bright yellow light, were exceptionally dazzling.
"Impossible!"
"Even Xiao San, Innate Full Soul Power, has only reached Level 16, four levels away from becoming Soul Grandmaster."
"How could you possibly have reached the Soul Grandmaster level before the Xiao San?"
Yu Xiaogang stood up in disbelief, not even bothering with the crutches lying beside him.
"Grandmaster... what kind of talk is that?"
What do you mean we can't reach the Soul Grandmaster level before Tang San?
Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, adopting a bossy posture, clearly very dissatisfied with what Yu Xiaogang had said.
"This is how fast we cultivate our Innate Full Soul Power!"
Xiao Wu raised her proud little head and said in a domineering tone.
"How come that Xiao San has only reached Level 16 in cultivation?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.
Under his invincible theory, how could the Xiao San with Twin Martial Souls be inferior to Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Master of the same age?
Isn't this a slap in the face to this Theoretical Grandmaster?
"Shouldn't you ask your disciple Tang San?"
"Our cultivation pace hasn't been consistent throughout the past year; sometimes you need to examine yourselves to see why."
"Like that... cultivation... what was it again...?"
Xiao Wu scratched her head and nudged Xu Yuan with her elbow, "Xu Yuan, what was the second half of that sentence again?"
"Do you usually practice diligently? Do you Meditation earnestly at night?"
"Yes, that's it. You forgot the beginning, you forgot the middle, you forgot the end—basically, you didn't try hard enough!"
Xiao Wu puffed out her little chest and said, though she didn't feel entirely justified.
At this moment, Xiao Wu felt more refreshed than ever before.
All the emotions that had been bottled up inside were released.
So this is what Xu Yuan's happiness has always been.
That was so awesome! Absolutely awesome!
"I'm not trying?" Tang San almost choked.
Do you know how I've gotten through the past month?
They get up earlier than the roosters and go to bed later than the dogs; when they open their eyes, all they think about is Martial Soul Theory, and when they close their eyes, all they think about is self-reflection papers.
He hadn't practiced Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track at all, but he had to secretly practice Purple Demon Eye, and he even quit his job at the Blacksmith Shop.
Because I have to write papers every day, my proficiency in the Mysterious Jade Hand and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon hasn't diminished; in fact, it's improved quite a bit.
The Hidden Weapon he carries are all custom-made by Blacksmith Shop in Nuoding City according to blueprints, and he assembles them himself.
It's important to know that Tang San's attitude towards Hidden Weapon is one of striving for perfection.
Any Tang Sect Hidden Weapons he personally crafted was bound to be a masterpiece.
But what about now...?
If you just have ordinary blacksmiths make all the parts for Hidden Weapon, you're lucky if they're even usable; there's no way you'll get any high-quality Hidden Weapon.
And yet, people still doubt that I'm not working hard enough!
May Heaven discern the loyal from the treacherous!
"This..."
Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment.
He had witnessed Tang San's efforts firsthand, but...
Tang San truly tried his best, how could he possibly be inferior to Xiao Wu and Xu Yuan?
If only one of them surpassed Tang San, it could be attributed to luck, but if both of them did, then there's more to it than that.
"Xiao Wu, don't talk nonsense!"
Yu Xiaogang's expression grew increasingly serious, and Tang San finally couldn't sit still any longer.
He's almost at his breaking point with the current training regimen.
If the teacher gets carried away and adds more workload, wouldn't he suddenly die at the Nuoding Academy?
"Call me Sister Xiao Wu, and where did I lie?"
"Tang San, aren't you Innate Full Soul Power? Have you been diligently cultivating every night? Don't you know that?"
Having often been looked down upon by Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu was now finally given the chance, how could she let it go?
Although Xiao Wu's words were unintentional, they struck a chord with Tang San.
"I..." Tang San was speechless, frozen in place.
Is he considered to have Innate Full Soul Power?
Others might not know, but after cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill for so many years, how could Tang San not know?
His so-called Innate Full Soul Power was entirely acquired through the cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
According to the teacher's theoretical deduction, when Soul Master awakens their Martial Soul, a surge of Soul Power will automatically emerge within their body.
This Soul Power is Innate Soul Power.
However, Tang San did not experience that feeling when he awakened his Martial Soul.
Therefore, he really didn't know what the cultivation speed of Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power was.
Moreover, he's been too tired lately, and when he practices at night, he can't tell whether he's asleep or Meditation.
Tang San's brief silence was noticed by Yu Xiaogang.
Of course, he wouldn't doubt that Tang San's Innate Full Soul Power was fake, after all, Xiao San had Twin Martial Souls!
Instead, he felt that Tang San was cutting corners, and that his apparent efforts every day were merely to appease his inspection.
"The Xiao San!"
Yu Xiaogang was furious, and a sense of desolation welled up in his heart.
Was it easy for him to diligently earn Gold Soul Coin from Scarface every month?
He didn't dare spend a single one of the five hundred Gold Soul Coin!
All of it was used to train Tang San, and what was the result?
The Xiao San was only putting on a show, just trying to appease me!
Even though Yu Xiaogang had seen many storms and experienced many hardships, he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, and tears welled up in his eyes as he felt a deep sadness.
I've been practicing cultivation for almost fifty years, how come I still encountered a scam?
"I'm innocent!"
Tang San was stunned when he saw the tears in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
Looking across the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, who works harder than him?
Tang San was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Finally, he gritted his teeth and came up with a solution.
"Xu Yuan, I challenge you!"
If he can defeat Xu Yuan, the strongest student in the academy, the teacher will understand that he has been working really hard these days!
"Ah?"
Xu Yuan was enjoying the show when he noticed that Tang San wanted to challenge him.
"Huh? Tang San, don't do anything rash!"
"Why don't you challenge Sister Xiao Wu instead? Xu Yuan is not someone you can defeat."
Xiao Wu's expression was extremely interesting. A Level 16 Soul Master crossing five major realms to defeat Quasi-Soul Saint expert?
That's such a brilliant idea!
Even if you reverse the level numbers, you still can't win.
"Xiao Wu, get out of my way! I'm going to challenge Xu Yuan!"
"After so many days of instruction in Martial Soul Theory from the teacher, my practical combat skills have been greatly improved."
On that day, if it weren't for the Right Leg Soul Bone restricting his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and throwing him into a state of mental chaos, he wouldn't have lost to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan, a mere Support System Soul Master, was utterly powerless; how could he possibly be a match for him?
Today, he will use the Burst Step Soul Skill taught to him by his teacher to defeat Xu Yuan and wash away the shame of the past!
"Since you're so eager to challenge me, of course I have no objection."
"However, is your previous fracture in your Right Leg alright?"
Xu Yuan's gaze fell on Tang San's thick legs.
"Hmph, Xu Yuan, this is the wisdom of a teacher!"
"The Medicinal Bath that my teacher specially prepared for me not only strengthens my muscles but also repairs some injuries."
"The fracture has long since healed!"
Tang San deliberately spoke loudly to attract Yu Xiaogang's attention.
Yu Xiaogang didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of anticipation.
He also wanted to see just how much the Xiao San's power had increased.
"As long as you're okay with it."
He used the Mysterious Heaven Skill's ability to introspect himself.
While it doesn't achieve X-ray vision, it can still vaguely reveal one's own meridians and Dantian.
If anything goes wrong, Tang San will definitely know.
Do you want some time to find a weapon?
Tang San asked with a relaxed smile.
"No need. After obtaining my Second Soul Ring, I created some Soul Skill on the spot."
Xu Yuan felt the timing was perfect; he could take advantage of this opportunity to squeeze some money out of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
