Refusing a Master, Then Slapping Him in the Face!

Yang Tian cooperatively put on a puzzled expression.

The Grandmaster said, "I'm just a resident freeloading food and lodging here. Like everyone else, you can call me Grandmaster. Everyone calls me that—I've even forgotten my own name.

"Yang Tian, Tang San, you must understand that Grandmaster and teacher mean vastly different things. Don't call me the wrong thing in the future. Unless... unless you truly wish to take me as your master."

A fervent look appeared in the Grandmaster's eyes. The certificate issued by Spirit Hall showed two children with Innate Full Soul Power.

According to his theories...

Tang San fell silent. He was good at scheming, but Yang Tian was good at cheating...

Yang Tian revealed a self-deprecating expression and said dejectedly, "But my martial soul is a useless one."

As he spoke, Yang Tian called out in his heart, Take the bait already. Say your famous line!

Yang Tian was not disappointed. The Grandmaster spoke proudly, "There are no useless martial souls in this world, only useless soul masters!

"Besides, your martial soul is not a useless martial soul! And Tang San... you seem to have concealed something about your martial soul. Yang Tian may not know, so I won't say it out loud."

"No useless martial souls, only useless soul masters? Grandmaster, do you really think that's right? Everyone has a martial soul... but without a good innate martial soul, becoming a powerful soul master is nearly impossible. Even if there are exceptions, it's only after their martial souls have changed..."

Yang Tian stared at the Grandmaster's expression. He had already slapped him in the face, and now he wanted to see how the Grandmaster would react.

But upon hearing this, the Grandmaster seemed to have been struck by a bolt from the blue. His already stiff expression turned even uglier. Then he gave a bitter laugh and looked at Yang Tian with complicated eyes. "I never expected that I would be inferior even to a child. I was too one-sided."

He admitted it, which surprised Yang Tian. He had thought the Grandmaster would get angry... that was how fanfiction usually wrote it.

Still, no matter how the Grandmaster reacted, the slap had already landed.

Ding! Face-slapping the Grandmaster mission complete.

Reward: One Common Grade Theft Ticket.

At that moment, Tang San, who had been standing to the side, spoke up. "No one is perfect. Who can be without faults?

"Grandmaster, how did you see that I had concealed something about my martial soul?"

Tang San still wanted to take him as his master. After all, at this time, Tang San's thirst for knowledge was indeed urgent.

The Grandmaster had laid the foundation for Tang San's eventual ascension to godhood. There was nothing to doubt about that. Otherwise, if Tang San developed blindly, he would only end up wasting his talent.

The Grandmaster composed himself and began analyzing Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, but he no longer made any grand claims. His face still hurt...

In the end, the Grandmaster looked at Yang Tian and said, "Yang Tian, your Flame Martial Soul is definitely not simple either. Either you have hidden something like Tang San, or your spark possesses some unknown special quality. Otherwise, how precious is Innate Full Soul Power? An ordinary martial soul could not possibly possess Innate Full Soul Power."

Yang Tian nodded slightly at that, then watched Tang San kneel and take the Grandmaster as his master.

Having gained a disciple, the Grandmaster was overjoyed. However, he was still waiting for Yang Tian's answer. Who would ever think they had too many disciples with Innate Full Soul Power?

Unfortunately, Yang Tian refused, and he did so decisively. "Sorry, Grandmaster."

The Grandmaster shook his head regretfully and said, "Being able to take even one of you as my disciple is already enough for me. You may not be willing to take me as your master, but if you have any questions, you can still come ask me.

"Come on. I'll take you to register first."

At the Academic Affairs Office, Yang Tian, the Innate Full Soul Power student who had not taken a master, immediately became a prized prospect. Yet he turned every one of them down. What a joke—he had a system. Why would he need a teacher? Even if he did take a master, it would have to be the kind who was a teacher by day and warmed his bed at night, like Bibi Dong...

Thinking of the legendary, peerlessly beautiful female Pope, Yang Tian thought, So what if she's someone else's wife? Why compete with a dead man? At worst, I'll take Qian Renxue too and make up for the loss in my heart. Drool gathered at the corner of Yang Tian's mouth when the system prompt sounded. (PS: No taboo stuff. Please wait for later chapters...)

Ding! Mission issued: Conquer the goddess Pope, Bibi Dong.

Mission reward: One Legendary Grade Theft Ticket.

Ding! Mission issued: Conquer the goddess Qian Renxue.

Mission reward: One Legendary Grade Theft Ticket.

Yang Tian's eyes went blank, and his steps halted. What the hell? Is this trying to push taboo stuff? You damn system, explain yourself to me... Gulp~

Yang Tian swallowed, then spoke under Tang San's puzzled gaze. "Xiao San, head back to the dormitory first. I'm going to buy some bedding."

Tang San nodded, then noticed that Yang Tian was still holding his school uniform. He immediately said, "Heavenly Brother, let me take your uniform back for you."

"No need." Yang Tian directly stored the uniform in his Storage Ring, then explained to the stunned Tang San, "This is a Soul Tool. It can store things. I picked it up by accident."

Tang San nodded hazily before heading toward the dormitory.

Yang Tian bought two sets of bedding in Notting City, then bought some snacks before finally returning to the academy.

Just as Yang Tian arrived at the entrance to Dormitory Seven, the system issued another mission.

Ding! Mission issued: Defeat Xiao Wu.

Mission reward: Two Common Grade Theft Tickets.

Ding! Mission issued: Prevent Tang San and Xiao Wu from sharing a bed.

Mission reward: One Epic Grade Theft Ticket.

"You damn system, how are you any different from Cao Cao, who covets other men's wives? You're just a lecherous old pervert. Are you trying to make me get involved with Xiao Wu?"

Yang Tian resisted. If it were some catgirl, Yang Tian would not hesitate in the slightest, but Tang San and Xiao Wu...

This was sentiment!

Yang Tian steeled his resolve. Without a Legendary Grade Theft Ticket, he would never split up Tang San and Xiao Wu!

As for an Epic Grade one, he could at least separate their beds. At worst, he would stay farther away from Xiao Wu in the future.

Pushing open the door, Yang Tian happened to see the cute Xiao Wu, wearing rabbit-ear hair accessories, already drawing a line between herself and Tang San! How could that do? There had to be a Chu River–Han Street between them!

"Oh, another one?" Wang Sheng, the tallest and sturdiest boy in Dormitory Seven, raised his brows and called out to Xiao Wu, "Sister Xiao Wu, another newcomer is here!"

Xiao Wu was immediately interested. She placed her hands on her still-unnoticeable slender waist and gave a dainty snort. "Newcomer, the rules of Dormitory Seven are simple. Defeat me, Sister Xiao Wu, and you'll be the boss of Dormitory Seven. Lose, and you'll have to acknowledge me as Sister Xiao Wu!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's adorable appearance, Yang Tian revealed a fatherly smile. He truly could not feel any lust toward such a little kid.

Still, he had to complete the system mission.

Yang Tian put his left hand behind his back. "Come on. I'll try not to hurt you."

Xiao Wu's cheeks puffed up. "You dare look down on Sister Xiao Wu? Take this!"

Her little fist shot toward Yang Tian's chest. Yang Tian smiled faintly and casually reached out to block it.

After cultivating the Illusion God Palm, the speed of his hands had unknowingly increased as well. It was just that he was still too young for that speed to serve its greatest purpose...

Smack!

Her little fist landed right in Yang Tian's palm. Xiao Wu was slightly surprised and immediately tried to pull back her fist and kick him.

However, a large hand had already wrapped around her small fist. With a sudden lift, it raised Xiao Wu entirely off the ground.

Yang Tian stood more than half a head taller than Xiao Wu. He was considered quite tall among children their age, so lifting Xiao Wu took little effort.

Since I'm not taking the Grandmaster as my master, I'm now considering whether to bring Flender and Liu Erlong together. If I do, what method should I use?

Of course, whether I'll ultimately bring them together is still undecided. Friends with ideas can leave a comment.
