Tang San tried to kill his father! The system triggered a mission: take Xiao Wu as a disciple

Honestly, even though Lu Xuan had expected it, he still could not help feeling disappointed by the way Tang San treated him.

But it did not matter!

This was Tang Buddha, after all! He could even split his own daughter's soul into three pieces to further his schemes.

What would he not dare do when it came to something as trivial as killing his father?

Without the system, Lu Xuan might have tactfully brought up the matter of twin martial souls when dealing with Tang San. After all, he would have needed to build a good relationship with him. But now that he had the system...

Sorry, my talent used to be lacking, so I needed to cling to your coattails!

But now I'm a Titled Douluo with a system in hand. Bare your fangs again, and don't blame me, Lu Xuan, for being ruthless.

Isn't it just forgetting your roots? Who can't do that?

Lu Xuan might usually seem like a courteous gentleman who treated others politely.

But, frankly, who did not enjoy showing off their might before an audience?

"Are you wondering how I knew you had twin martial souls?"

Lu Xuan stopped, turned to look at Tang San, and said,

"In the absence of mutations, innate soul power is directly proportional to martial soul quality. If you only had a blue silver grass martial soul, it could never have supported your awakening with innate full soul power."

Lu Xuan did not care whether the theory was right or wrong. He was not sincerely teaching Tang San anyway.

Right now, he only wanted to see what attitude Tang San truly held toward him.

Soon, Tang San adjusted his mindset.

He discreetly hid his right wrist behind his back, his gaze sharp as a blade as he faced Lu Xuan and spoke with firm conviction.

"There are exceptions to everything. Why can't I be one?"

He looked utterly confident, like a stalk of ten-year solitary bamboo that would sooner snap than bend!

At the sight, Lu Xuan's expression abruptly hardened.

"There are no exceptions!"

One moment, Lu Xuan had been enjoying the breeze. The next, his expression changed completely.

Although he had not released his martial soul, the aura inherent to a Super Douluo was even more oppressive.

"When I teach you, you listen!"

"If you refuse to obey, then don't take me as your master."

Tang San was dumbfounded!

For some reason, his right wrist suddenly became unbearably stiff. Even his chest felt painfully stifled when he faced Lu Xuan's indifferent, deep-blue eyes.

Only now did Tang San finally realize that Lu Xuan was a Titled Douluo first, and his teacher second.

How laughable that he had actually wanted to strike first just moments ago!

Thud!

"Your disciple knows he was wrong! Please forgive me, Teacher."

Tang San's knees buckled. Whether he could not withstand the psychological pressure or had truly realized his mistake, he dropped to his knees again on the spot.

Lu Xuan's expression did not soften at the sight. Instead, he silently weighed things in his mind.

This Tang San... really doesn't understand the Soul Master system at all. Trying to attack Yu Xiaogang in the original story was one thing, but now he even dares to set his sights on a Titled Douluo.

He has no idea how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is!

Lu Xuan felt helpless. But just as he was about to give Tang San a lecture, something unexpected happened at Nuoding Academy, which was under the coverage of his spiritual power.

"Go register on your own. Your teacher is tired."

As his words fell, Lu Xuan's entire figure instantly dissolved, leaving only a blue-and-gold leaf behind. Even that leaf vanished into nothingness the moment it touched the ground.

A full-grown living person had completely disappeared in an instant.

Tang San looked up at the empty space before him, bitterness welling in his heart.

Teacher didn't even ask what my second martial soul was. Is he angry with me?

He shook his head and quietly clenched his fists.

I really don't know what's good for me!

A Titled Douluo was willing to take me as his disciple, yet at the crucial moment, I listened to Father and remained wary of him. I even thought of killing him.

What happened to "a teacher for a day, a father for life"? How did I forget it all in an instant?

I wonder if Teacher noticed anything wrong just now.

Tang San silently removed the bolt from his cocked Sleeve Arrow and put it back into his Storage Belt.

At the same time, he quietly made up his mind.

Teacher, from now on, Little San will prove through his actions that I'm your most obedient student!

Elsewhere.

In a dim street corner, a girl in a pink dress used various obstacles to conceal herself, weaving through the crowds as she ran toward the outskirts of Nuoding City.

Damn it! I never expected to encounter a Titled Douluo as soon as I entered the human world. Why is my luck so awful?

Indeed! This girl was none other than Xiao Wu.

After taking human form, she had originally planned to find a remote city where she could cultivate in peace, then seek out her mother's killer for revenge once she was strong enough.

She had never expected her campaign to falter before it even began, encountering a Titled Douluo with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at her very first stop.

Now, all she wanted was to escape as quickly as possible. Even if her cultivation never advanced another inch and she had to hide in the Star Dou Great Forest for the rest of her life, she would accept it.

The human world is too dangerous. No wonder Ah Yin, who was also a soul beast in human form, was driven to sacrifice herself.

I'll never come out again... oof!

Lost in thought, Xiao Wu failed to watch where she was going and suddenly collided with a solid chest, falling straight into the other person's arms.

The girl had no time to apologize and hurriedly changed direction.

However, Lu Xuan, who had just arrived, caught her wrist in one swift motion.

"Little rabbit, where are you trying to run?"

Xiao Wu looked up and immediately saw the fair face of the man she had only just encountered, yet already feared enough to tremble.

"T-Titled Douluo."

Xiao Wu met Lu Xuan's gaze, her pink eyes trembling uncontrollably with fear.

She had only just taken human form! Before her transformation, she might have stood a chance against a Titled Douluo. But now, she was no different from a little girl.

Am I going to die?

Mother, I'm sorry. I won't be able to avenge you anymore.

Large teardrops fell from the girl's eyes.

It was hard to tell whether she cried because she could not avenge her mother, or because her mind had become immature after taking human form, leaving her frightened to tears like an ordinary girl.

Lu Xuan remained unmoved by the sight.

He knew perfectly well that the rabbit-eared little girl before him was no six-year-old child, but an old rabbit who had genuinely lived for a hundred thousand years!

Who knew whether she was truly afraid or cunningly waiting for him to lower his guard?

The system's notification, however, made his eyes light up.

[Side mission triggered: take Xiao Wu as a disciple!]

Oh? Another mission?

Taking Tang San as my disciple just now gave me a second martial soul. What reward will I get for taking Xiao Wu this time?

With that thought, he drew his attention back and looked at the girl with a smile playing on his lips.

"Say, you're clearly a little rabbit, so why do you look like a wolf cub? Do you hate humans that much?"

At his words, Xiao Wu cursed viciously, her little face fierce.

"Not a single one of you humans is any good!"

"Kill me or cut me to pieces, do as you please. But don't even think about humiliating me."

It had to be said that cute creatures made it hard to muster any desire to attack them, even when they were angry.

Xiao Wu's pretty face, flushed red with anger, was truly endearing, and Lu Xuan could not resist looking a few more times.

If Gangzi had been in her place, though, Lu Xuan would already have cleaved him with his sword.

"Ah..."

"If only you could always keep this personality."

Lu Xuan murmured to himself, leaving Xiao Wu utterly baffled. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing. Do you want to live?"
