Tang San smiled wryly, not bothering to argue with Xiao Wu any further.
In his heart, Yu Xiaogang was the only mentor who truly taught him and helped him discover his talents. He didn't care what others thought of him.
"It's nothing, Sister Xiao Wu. I just need to wait for someone at the school gate," Tang San explained softly.
"Waiting for someone? Who are you waiting for? Do you want me to come with you?" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she immediately became interested, holding Tang San's hand tightly and refusing to let go.
Tang San hesitated for a moment before pushing Xiao Wu's hand away.
"No need, you go back to your dorm and wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Seeing Tang San's resolute attitude, Xiao Wu could only reluctantly let go, pouting and saying unwillingly, "Fine then, come back quickly and don't run around!"
"Um."
Tang San nodded in agreement, tidied up his books, and walked alone toward the gate of the Nuoding Academy.
The setting sun hung low in the sky, its golden rays bathing the entire street.
The students of the Nuoding Academy dispersed in twos and threes, and the noisy campus gradually became quiet.
Tang San stood alone at the school gate, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He couldn't understand why Lu Yu, the owner of the External Beast Martial Soul whom the teacher had tried so hard to meet and study, would only see him and not the teacher.
Was it a deliberate act of humiliation?
Did they want to find out the teacher's secrets from him?
Or... does Lu Yu simply not respect her teacher?
The more Tang San thought about it, the heavier the depression became in his heart.
Ever since Lu Yu's name appeared in Yu Xiaogang's mouth, Tang San had a vague sense of crisis.
All the teacher's attention, all the expectations, even the opportunity to break through to level 30, were placed on an outsider.
Even though she possessed Twin Martial Souls and was a once-in-a-century genius, Lu Yu still stole the spotlight.
Time passed little by little.
Just as Tang San was lost in thought, a tall and clean-cut young man slowly walked from the end of the street.
The person who arrived was Lu Yu.
Looking at that young face, not wearing a school uniform, and appearing at the school gate at this time, Tang San was certain that the person in front of him was Lu Yu, the one his teacher had mentioned.
Lu Yu also noticed Tang San at the school gate. The two exchanged a glance but neither spoke, tacitly sizing each other up.
No, it was a joyful voice that came through.
"Elder brother!"
Lu Yu and Tang San turned their heads at the same time to look in the direction from which the sound came, and saw Lu Fei waving happily and running towards the school gate not far away.
Lu Fei buried his face in Lu Yu 'Lu Yu, hugging him tightly, "Brother, I missed you so much!"
"Alright, you're so old, why are you still acting like a little girl?" Lu Yu affectionately ruffled Lu Fei's hair.
"No way!" Lu Fei retorted, pouting.
Watching the two brothers embrace, Tang San felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. However, a mischievous and pretty face flashed before his eyes, and the bitterness in his heart vanished instantly.
He cleared his throat twice, indicating that there were still people present.
Hearing the sound, Lu Fei shrank his neck, glanced back, and blushed when he saw someone behind him. He then buried his head in Lu Yu's chest.
Lu Yu smiled helplessly, looked up at Tang San, and said, "You must be Tang San, right? You're the one looking for me?"
Tang San took a deep breath and slowly nodded, "It's my old man..."
"Let's talk somewhere else!" Lu Yu raised her hand to interrupt Tang San Tang San, waving for him to follow.
Watching the two figures leave, Tang San touched his sleeve and followed them, but always kept what he considered a safe distance between them.
After a winding journey, Lu Yu led Tang San to the small courtyard she had previously rented. She pushed open the gate and looked back at Tang San, who was about five meters away.
He opened his mouth, speechless, "Am I really that scary?"
"Come in," Lu Yu said to Tang San Tang San, then ignored him and stepped into the courtyard.
"You go inside first, Tang San and I have something to discuss," Lu Yu said, patting Lu Fei on the back.
Lu Fei nodded, glanced back at the courtyard, and went into the house.
Lu Yu sat down at the table in the courtyard, took out a pot of water and two cups from her Storage Soul Tool, placed them on the table, and quietly waited for Tang San to enter.
At that moment, Tang San, who was outside the courtyard, was cautiously looking around to make sure there were no signs of anyone lying in ambush before taking a deep breath and entering the courtyard.
However, what the two did not know was that at the back alley of the courtyard, a tall figure wearing a hooded robe was sitting quietly against the corner of the wall, looking inconspicuous like a beggar on the street.
"Sit down!" Lu Yu gestured for her to sit.
Tang San gave Lu Yu a deep look, sat down, glanced warily at the water glass in front of him, but didn't drink.
Lu Yu smiled wryly. She was afraid she'd poison him! Without beating around the bush, Lu Yu picked up her water glass, took a sip, and asked directly.
"Speak! What does Yu Xiaogang want from me?"
Tang San stared at Lu Yu, but instead of explicitly stating that Yu Xiaogang wanted to take Lu Yu as his disciple, he phrased it differently.
"Your Martial Soul is External Beast Martial Soul Martial Soul, just like my teacher's. Instead of blindly cultivating on your own, you should ask my teacher for advice. My teacher can save you a lot of detours!"
Lu Yu tilted her head. "Your teacher? Is he very impressive?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San straightened up instantly, his tone filled with admiration, "Of course, my teacher is Grandmaster of Martial Soul Theory; his understanding of Martial Soul far surpasses that of ordinary people."
" Grandmaster Martial Soul Theory? As his disciple, can you share his research findings? Of course! But you don't have to reveal anything confidential!"
Tang San shook his head, feeling that Lu Yu was narrow-minded.
"As a theoretical Grandmaster, it's natural to publish my research findings; there's no such thing as a secret. Otherwise, how could all the Soul Master on the continent call me 'teacher' and ' Grandmaster '?"
After the words were spoken, the two fell silent. Lu Yu pinched his thigh hard to stop himself from laughing out loud. He really hadn't expected that Tang San would be so easily fooled in just three months.
Lu Yu asked these seemingly unimportant questions to gauge Tang San's current opinion of Yu Xiaogang.
After a long while, Lu Yu finally suppressed the laughter in his heart, thought about the Martial Soul Theory proposed by Yu Xiaogang, and finally could only think of the " Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul ".
Lu Yu looked at Tang San and slowly said, "You know the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, right?"
"Of course, that's my teacher's most prized work!" Tang San replied proudly.
In Tang San's mind, if this work appeared in his world, Yu Xiaogang would definitely be hailed as a "saint"!
I couldn't even get close to him. Fortunately, people in this world are narrow-minded and can't recognize true gold, which allowed me, an ordinary child, to meet such a great teacher!
Lu Yu didn't understand what Tang San was so confident about. Even a dog would shake its head at the mention of something like this, yet Tang San was so proud of it!
Looking at Tang San's expression, Lu Yu felt a little reluctant to discourage him.
"Ahem, um... could you tell me about the theory behind Soul Ring in the book?"
Lu Yu coughed awkwardly twice, pulling Tang San back to reality.
Upon hearing this, Tang San's face showed a hint of disdain. He hadn't expected that Lu Yu couldn't even remember the contents of such a treasure.
However, Tang San did not pursue the matter. As his teacher's only disciple, he had the obligation and responsibility to promote his teacher's works when he was away from home.
Tang Three Pure Ones his throat and slowly said, "My teacher said that the limit for the age of the First Soul Ring is 423 years, and the Second Soul Ring is 764 years. I am the best proof!"
As he spoke, Tang San summoned his Soul Ring, a yellow, Hundred-Year Soul Ring that hovered around his waist.
