At Yao Xuan's words, Yu Xiaogang's heart suddenly clenched!
At that moment, faced with this wager that had come out of nowhere, he only wanted to slip away as quickly as possible. He had no desire to make any wager with Yao Xuan.
But in front of Tang San, Yu Xiaogang did not dare show fear.
For one thing, he needed to preserve his last shred of dignity as the Grandmaster and a senior.
For another, he could also tell that Tang San was an exceptionally perceptive, intelligent child.
He also worried that if he did not dare respond in public, wouldn't that confirm his guilty conscience?
When that happened, Tang San might start questioning whether he had any real ability, or even decide not to become his disciple at all.
And that was something Yu Xiaogang absolutely could not allow.
Without Tang San, how would he, Yu Xiaogang, ever turn his fortunes around?
"Go on, then. What exactly is this wager?"
At that thought, Yu Xiaogang quietly forced down his panic and answered with a show of composure.
"It's simple. This little girl is also a new student joining Nuoding Academy this year."
"We'll set a six-month limit. You teach Tang San, while Na'er and I teach Xiao Wu. Six months from now, the two of them will have a public Soul Fighting match."
"If Xiao Wu wins, you, Yu Xiaogang, will loudly admit in front of all the students that you're a fake Grandmaster and a complete fraud."
"Yu Xiaogang, do you have the guts?"
Looking at Yu Xiaogang, who was fierce on the outside but fainthearted within, Yao Xuan smiled slightly and laid out the terms of the wager.
"Fine! With such a fair wager, why wouldn't I dare? I, Yu Xiaogang, accept!"
At Yao Xuan's words, a glimmer of smugness flashed deep in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and he accepted without holding anything back!
Inside, he kept rejoicing to himself. This Yao Xuan was truly stupid, actually lifting a rock only to smash his own feet!
After all, his disciple Tang San possessed Innate Full Soul Power, something so rare across the entire Douluo Continent that those who had it could be counted on one's fingers!
Six months was already enough for Tang San to break through to Soul Master, obtain his first Soul Skill, and undergo a qualitative transformation!
As for that little girl named Xiao Wu, however he looked at her, she could not possibly possess Innate Full Soul Power. There was no way she could break through to Soul Master in just six months.
When the time came, a Soul Master with a Soul Skill would be facing a Soul Scholar without one. The advantage would absolutely be his, and victory would be his for the taking!
At that thought, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth curled up slightly, as though he could already see Yao Xuan and Gu Yuena being humiliated.
"All right, then. It's a deal."
Looking at Yu Xiaogang's solemn confidence, as though victory were already in his grasp, Yao Xuan nodded calmly, but laughed inwardly.
Heh, took the bait, didn't you?
Even if Yu Xiaogang racked his brains to pieces, he would never guess that Xiao Wu possessed Innate Full Soul Power, just like Tang San!
Beside Yao Xuan, a smile finally appeared on Gu Yuena's pretty face, which had remained taut all this time.
After all, she had never expected such a frog at the bottom of a well to exist in this world!
Perhaps this was why Brother Xuan didn't simply kill Tang San and Yu Xiaogang outright!
Indeed, their appearance had added quite a bit of amusement and anticipation to an otherwise uneventful life!
At that moment, Gu Yuena also fully understood Yao Xuan's painstaking intentions.
"Wait. Just now, you only said that if Xiao Wu wins, I have to admit in public that I'm a fake Grandmaster."
"But what if Tang San wins?"
Looking at Yao Xuan's calm expression, Yu Xiaogang could not help raising his voice a little. "When that happens, you and Gu Yuena will kowtow to me in front of all the students and apologize for what happened today. Do you have the guts?"
Damn him! To dare make such an outrageous demand of Master-he deserved ten thousand deaths!
Hearing this, Gu Yuena instantly exploded with fury. Her delicate hands clenched into fists, and she wanted to crush Yu Xiaogang, the human vermin who had offended her master, to death on the spot!
However, she also remembered Yao Xuan's instructions and did not act on her own. She merely fixed a murderous glare on Yu Xiaogang in the distance with her beautiful eyes.
Very good, very good. A dog really couldn't stop eating shit. To dare offend me like this-it seemed I had to teach you a proper lesson!
At Yu Xiaogang's words, Yao Xuan sneered inwardly.
He had already detested trash and good-for-nothings like Yu Xiaogang, who possessed neither talent nor virtue, knew only how to swindle and deceive, and colluded with Tang San like a wolf and a jackal.
Now that Yu Xiaogang still dared ride roughshod over him, he had to strike back hard!
"No problem. It's a deal, then. Be ready to admit you're truly worthless in six months! Hahahaha!"
Though his heart was filled with murderous intent, Yao Xuan showed none of it. Instead, he spoke lightly while using a homemade Soul Tool to record everything.
After all, given Yu Xiaogang's character, he would definitely go back on his word once he lost.
Yao Xuan would also need to produce conclusive evidence to utterly ruin that piece of trash Yu Xiaogang's reputation!
"Hmph, just you wait! San, let's go!"
At Yao Xuan's words, Yu Xiaogang looked furious as he pulled Tang San away.
Inside, however, he was secretly rejoicing, as though he could already see Yao Xuan and Gu Yuena kneeling before him.
"Brother Xuan, this Yu Xiaogang is utterly despicable. Are you really going to let him act so outrageously?"
Watching Yu Xiaogang's retreating figure, Gu Yuena still struggled to contain her murderous intent and used her Divine Sense to seek Yao Xuan's instructions.
"Of course not. Tonight, I'll collect a little interest and turn him into a eunuch for good!"
"Killing Yu Xiaogang outright would be letting him off far too easily. It wouldn't come close to quenching the fury in my heart!"
"For someone like Yu Xiaogang, ruining his reputation and making him live every day as neither human nor ghost would bring him a hundred times more pain than simply killing him!"
Yao Xuan reached out and gently stroked Gu Yuena's head, his fingertips brushing through her countless silver strands as he soothed her and explained.
"Brother Xuan, I understand."
At Yao Xuan's words, Gu Yuena nodded with only a hazy understanding and answered through her Divine Sense.
"From now on, become Xiao Wu's master and train her well."
"Although I have countless ways to let Xiao Wu defeat Tang San with ease."
"I still hope Xiao Wu can defeat Tang San fair and square through her own abilities."
After receiving Gu Yuena's response, Yao Xuan continued.
"Yes, my lord."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena turned to Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, you should have heard the wager Brother Xuan made with that vermin Yu Xiaogang earlier."
"To help you give Tang San a better beating and vent Brother Xuan's anger and mine, you'll be my disciple from now on."
Looking into Xiao Wu's eyes, Gu Yuena softened her tone as she spoke.
"Thank you, Sister Na'er!"
At her words, excitement instantly flashed through Xiao Wu's eyes.
After spending this time together, the bright, quick-witted girl had long since realized that Yao Xuan and Gu Yuena were definitely top-tier seniors with extraordinary strength!
As she spoke, Xiao Wu bent both knees and respectfully performed the formal bow of a disciple to her master before Gu Yuena.
