Next, Please Call Me Teacher Yang

Yang Tian naturally knew what Zhu Zhuqing was thinking. He immediately said, "Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Do you really see me as that kind of person?"

Zhu Zhuqing gazed into Yang Tian's eyes and said seriously, "Yang Tian, can you give us some time? Let us truly come to like each other, instead of falling in love at first sight and getting together because of benefits."

Yang Tian smiled. "I don't need time to nurture my feelings for you. But I'll give you time to truly fall in love with me.

"Still, it seems gratitude has the upper hand in your heart. That will affect your judgment."

Zhu Zhuqing froze, then slowly fell silent. "But I owe you too much."

"Then I'll make sure you don't owe me."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Yang Tian's face, then caught the fleeting slyness in his eyes. She immediately gave a soft snort. "Aren't you just trying to take advantage of me?"

"Hehe, so will you let me?"

Zhu Zhuqing lightly bit her Red Lips and shot Yang Tian a resentful glare. This guy probably would not let her go until he got something out of her.

After hesitating again and again, Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes and brought her Red Lips toward Yang Tian's cheek. Yet at that moment, Yang Tian suddenly turned his head. The light kiss meant for his cheek landed on his lips instead.

Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes in surprise, only to see Yang Tian grinning smugly. She immediately flew into embarrassed anger and viciously stomped on his foot with her high heel. Yang Tian's expression instantly became spectacular.

"Aow~! Zhuqing, that was way too ruthless!" Yang Tian hopped around while clutching one foot. Zhu Zhuqing could not help laughing, but she still gave a coquettish snort. "You deserved it!"

With that, Zhu Zhuqing directly fled the Cultivation Room. If she stayed any longer, she feared Yang Tian would devour her whole.

Sometimes, Zhu Zhuqing also wondered what exactly she felt for Yang Tian. This boy had cared for her in every possible way since she enrolled. He had appeared when she was at her most desperate, giving her the means and courage to keep fighting.

Gratitude? Definitely.

Did she like him? Perhaps... a little? He was so handsome, so considerate, so powerful. Whenever danger arose, he always protected her behind him... But he was too bad... He was not a good person! She was afraid that once she let him have his way, he would seek out someone new... loving the new and tiring of the old.

Yang Tian had no idea how rich Zhu Zhuqing's inner thoughts were. He only knew that he was one step closer to winning Zhu Zhuqing over. After all, once there was a first time, there would be a second. Next time he launched a sneak attack, he would not pat her butt—he would just kiss her...

"System, get to work!" Yang Tian finally turned his attention to that Legendary Grade Theft Ticket. Before that, though, he would use the Brave Grade ones first.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have stolen the Xia Lan Art, Moon Chase!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have stolen one piece of Qian Renxue's intimate underwear!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have stolen King's Land Jing Ke's passive skill stone."

The items obtained from the three Brave Grade Theft Tickets were all quite good, and Yang Tian was very satisfied.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have stolen the Secret of the Lin Character from Shrouding the Heavens!"

"The Secret of the Lin Character?" Yang Tian froze, then was overwhelmed with joy.

What was the Secret of the Lin Character used for? In Shrouding the Heavens, it had only been briefly described: the Secret of the Lin Character drew upon the power of heaven and earth to empower oneself, allowing one to glimpse the Divine Forbidden Domain!

There was no need to explain the Divine Forbidden Domain. It was a basic qualification for becoming an emperor. While within the Divine Forbidden Domain, one's combat power would receive an immeasurable boost.

"System, learn the Secret of the Lin Character."

"System, learn Yao Lao's alchemy."

Yang Tian did not extract Jing Ke's passive skill stone. He had no need for that thing, though it was quite suitable for the little kitty.

As for Moon Chase, of course he had to learn it. Moon Chase was a rapid movement skill from Xia Lan.

"When I have time, I can take a stroll through Dugu Bo's herb garden, steal a few Immortal Herbs, and use the Palm Heaven Bottle to gather moon essence to cultivate them."

In the early morning, Tang San and Xiao Wu were still refining the medicinal effects of the Soul Nourishing Grass and Spirit Fruit. Yang Tian did not disturb them. Instead, he left the Cultivation Room and headed to the training ground.

Flender and the others were all there. Seeing Yang Tian stroll over at an unhurried pace, Flender frowned slightly. "Yang Tian, where are Tang San and Xiao Wu?"

Yang Tian said, "They've reached a critical point in their cultivation, so don't disturb them.

"I'll be teaching today's lesson."

"Hm?" Flender stared at Yang Tian in bewilderment. What kind of joke was this? Sure, you're strong, but you can't steal my livelihood.

"The trick to Self-Created Soul Skills. Dean, you can sit in too~" Yang Tian gave a Black-bellied smile. If Flender attended his class, would he have to call him Teacher Yang from now on?

"Me, me, me! I want to learn! I want to learn!" Ning Rongrong was the first to jump out.

Oscar was also clearly tempted. For an auxiliary-system Soul Master, being able to create offensive Soul Skills would undoubtedly greatly improve their personal safety.

Even Flender nodded without hesitation. What kind of joke was this? Countless people wished to learn the tricks to Self-Created Soul Skills but never had the chance. Yang Tian was willing to teach them, so they should be grateful.

At that moment, a voice Yang Tian found very familiar rang out. "Self-Created Soul Skills? You only taught them to Xiao San and Xiao Wu before. Can I listen in too, Yang Tian?"

Yang Tian turned around and immediately nodded. "You can."

Yang Tian actually looked down on Grandmaster somewhat, perhaps because he had read too many fan novels. But no matter what, Grandmaster was Tang San's teacher, so he had to give Tang San some face.

When Flender saw Grandmaster arrive, he immediately pulled him warmly before everyone and introduced him. "Little monsters, this is the new teacher I found for you. From now on, he'll be responsible for all your lessons.

"You can call him Grandmaster. He's also Tang San's teacher. You should all know how extensive Xiao San's theoretical knowledge is. That alone shows Xiao Gang's level."

"Grandmaster!"

The others did not know much about Grandmaster, but being Tang San's teacher alone was enough to earn their respect.

"No rush. You can first learn Yang Tian's Self-Created Soul Skills. A Soul Master's Soul Skills are limited. Every additional Soul Skill has an enormous impact on one's strength.

"Yang Tian is willing to teach everyone the techniques for Self-Created Soul Skills, so you should all be grateful."

Grandmaster said this with a straight face, already stepping into the role of teacher. At the same time, Yang Tian said, "Come with me. I'll take you somewhere nice. I guarantee your future cultivation will be blissful torment."

Yang Tian led the deeply puzzled group to the Cultivation Room in the small woods. Once they entered, everyone let out startled cries. "Whoa~! How... how can there be such a huge space inside?"

"I was wondering why Yang Tian brought us into such a small building. Turns out there's a whole other world inside."

The group looked around like country bumpkins. Fatty even walked up to the control panel, but he did not touch anything recklessly. The place was so luxuriously furnished that he was afraid of accidentally breaking something.

Grandmaster swept his gaze around, his eyes gleaming. "This should be a special Soul Tool, like a Storage Soul Tool. But I suspect this space must have other special properties. Otherwise, cultivating here would be no different from cultivating outside."

Yang Tian nodded and thought to himself, Grandmaster's character might not be all that great, but the persona is there. His brain is pretty sharp, at least.

Yang Tian walked over to the coffee table in the rest area and evenly divided the now-cold second-hand Enlightenment Tea. However, he did not invite everyone to drink it. Instead, he cleared his throat twice. "From now on, everyone, please call me Teacher Yang..."

Everyone: "..."
