Chapter 1 Yu Xiaogang's Dream-Responding Disciple
"Presumptuous—!!!"
"Boy, you're incredibly audacious! This is utterly outrageous!"
"Do you know how much you hurt a scholar who has dedicated his life to theoretical research?"
"The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls are the world-saving truths that I, Yu Xiaogang, the number one theoretical master on the continent, explored and researched with all my heart and soul! Do you know how many Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent would have died from their bodies exploding and their remains never found because of blindly absorbing soul rings?!"
"Furthermore, this extremely advanced theory of martial soul mimicry is something I have broken through the shackles of conventions that have existed for thousands of years! Who says that plant martial souls can only absorb plant soul rings? Beast martial souls can't absorb plant soul rings?! As long as certain prerequisites are met, these two types of martial souls and soul rings can be mutually compatible and absorbed across categories."
"Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was originally very weak. If he doesn't absorb a snake-type soul ring to increase the resilience of his spirit, then his spirit will truly be useless!"
"You know nothing but spouting nonsense. How dare you slander such a groundbreaking theory that can save lives and create new opportunities?!"
"Tell me your true intentions!"
At the entrance of Notting Academy, a rather comical scene was unfolding.
A sexy man with a buzz cut was roaring angrily at the cold and handsome young man in front of him, his eyes bloodshot and his breath coming in ragged gasps.
When he learned that there was a child named Tang San in this year's class who possessed Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power, his first thought was that this was impossible!
However, Spirit Hall's certificate could not be faked!
In this way, all impossibilities were eliminated, and no matter how bizarre the matter might be, it was still the truth!
After frantic thinking, Yu Xiaogang came up with an answer that made him so happy he almost fainted!
This child named Tang San must have an extremely powerful second spirit to be able to grant him the talent of innate full soul power!
His virtuous disciple who appeared in his dream!
Yu Xiaogang confidently believed that only a top sage like himself could nurture such a gifted child!
Because of the flaw in his martial soul, he was never able to break through to level 30 in his entire life. If he wanted his name to resound throughout the entire Douluo Continent, he had no choice but to find another way.
Although Yu Xiaogang had already gained considerable status by publishing his theoretical masterpiece "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls", it was clear that he was not satisfied!
But Tang San's appearance seemed to make everything better!
If the other party became an unparalleled powerhouse under his tutelage, the number one theoretical master on the continent, then wouldn't his name be able to be passed down for eternity on the Douluo Continent alongside Tang San?
He was almost able to win over this silly boy, but who knew that just when Tang San was about to become his disciple, this pretty boy appeared in front of him, disrupting all his plans.
However, what he said was true.
Yet he noticed how young the other person looked...
If the other party did not immediately kowtow and apologize, he would definitely teach this arrogant brat what the power of a Great Soul Master truly was!
The young man's name was Jiang Li. After arriving on the Douluo Continent, his system left him with a Blue Silver King Martial Soul and a Myriad Soul Banner... oops, I mean, a cool Human Emperor Banner that emitted black gas before going silent.
It wasn't until recently, when he absorbed his seventh soul ring and became a Soul Saint, that his system started to move again.
On that blue light screen that only he could see, a single sentence appeared all alone.
[Accept Tang San as your disciple. Rewards: First Martial Soul evolves into Blue Silver Emperor; Second Martial Soul, Human Emperor Banner, unlocks more wonderful uses! As the bond between the host and Tang San deepens, you will also receive a series of rewards including Soul Bones, Soul Rings, and Godhood!]
Jiang Li originally planned to go to Notting City before the plot began to acquire the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit and the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg soul bone.
However, when the system reappeared, he immediately changed his mind.
Isn't it just taking Tang San as an apprentice?
Recruit! Recruit Tang San!
After all, if one had to pinpoint who the root of all evil was during the Spirit Hall era of the Douluo Continent, it would be difficult to say.
Tracing back to the source, it really was not that little scoundrel who was a dual-god entity.
It was important to understand that if Gangzi had not provoked Bibi Dong when he was young because of his own ambition, Bibi Dong would not have turned to the dark side.
Even without Bibi Dong's corruption, she would not have fed Qian Xunji to the spiders. Qian Daoliu also had an agreement with Tang Chen. Even if it was because of Ah Yin, a 100,000-year-old soul beast, things would not have escalated to this point with the Clear Sky Sect.
Naturally, Tang San, who grew up in the Clear Sky Sect, would not eventually be taught to be the pure and innocent Buddha Tang.
Yu Xiaogang: Little San, your biggest weakness is that you're too soft-hearted.
Tang San: Teacher, I understand!
...
Yu Xiaogang: Little San, now that you've become a god, shouldn't you take your teacher to the divine realm to enjoy bliss when you ascend to heaven?
God King Tang San: Gangzi, you've broken through level 30, and you're still not satisfied?
His future obedient disciple was someone who had Confucian classics ingrained in his very bones, and had always believed in the Confucian principles of Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher.
Having been an orphan for two lifetimes, he was too easily influenced by Yu Xiaogang's abstract ideas.
But then again...
As the saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life!"
Then, since the master was also a father, Jiang Li thought that Ah Yin was still quite charming!
"It seems you're in a hurry, Master Yu."
"Why don't you tell me how you, a piece of trash who can never break through to level 30 in your entire life, know the absorption period of a soul ring that is over a thousand years old?"
"Furthermore, this kind of knowledge is not something a mere Great Soul Master can know."
Jiang Li chuckled, but his words were like a dagger to Yu Xiaogang's throat.
He instantly turned red, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his breathing became visibly rapid.
He certainly knew where his theory came from, but in the end, how could the work of a scholar be called plagiarism?
"Boy, it seems that today I, the master, will make you realize that my status as a senior is not just due to my extraordinary wisdom, but also to my extremely powerful strength!"
"Come out, Luo Sanpao!"
Yu Xiaogang roared, and with his shout, a strange creature that looked like a pig or a dog appeared at his feet, rubbing intimately against his trouser leg.
Lolololo.
Immediately afterwards, two yellow century-old soul rings hovered neatly at his feet.
