Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 28 Tang Sanpao

"Xiaoyu, you got the spirit ring?"

Master Yu stood up and asked excitedly.

Bai Yu nodded and said:

"It was Dean Wu who helped me hunt it."

Master Yu fell into deep thought. Old Wu actually thought so highly of Bai Yu, personally taking him to hunt for his first soul ring. Was he telling me not to hold him back?

Old Wu felt that Tang San and Bai Yu were both born with full soul power. He had already taken in Tang San, and if he took in Bai Yu as well, what if both of them became useless?

Haha, Old Wu, you actually don't believe me? My theory is absolutely correct, it's just that no one has put it into practice.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Bai Yu and asked:

What is your first soul skill?

Bai Yu described it to Yu Xiaogang, who suddenly opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Wow, what an amazing soul skill! This Human Emperor Banner feels even stronger than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

No, I have to find a way to take Bai Yu as my apprentice!

Well, the first step is to let him know that being my apprentice is a good thing, so I need to show him my good points first.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and said:

"Little sister, get ready, I'm taking you to hunt for spirit rings tomorrow."

He then looked at Bai Yu and said:

"Xiaoyu, you should come along too. You can help."

By the way, let me show you how great it is to become my disciple.

Bai Yu nodded, looking obedient, as if he didn't understand anything.

Yu Xiaogang nodded, quite satisfied with his plan.

Bai Yu is a clueless greenhorn who knows nothing. If I could trick him into becoming my disciple too, he and Tang San together would definitely prove my theory. Of course, there are risks in practice, but isn't Bai Yu a support-type Soul Master? A little risk isn't a problem.

Yu Xiaogang thought selfishly.

He was preparing to send Tang San and Bai Yu back to rest when there was a knock on the door. Tang San opened the door and found that it was a teacher he didn't recognize.

The teacher peeked out, saw the teacher, coughed twice, and said:

"Master, the envoy from the Spirit Hall just asked me to pass on a message to you. He said that your theories seem impressive, but they are actually useless. The Spirit Hall is going to buy them wholesale at two gold soul coins each, which means you still have to pay back nine thousand gold soul coins."

Yu Xiaogang's face turned red, a purplish-red, like pig liver.

The teacher then said:

"The people from the Spirit Hall said they were too busy to listen to your bargaining. Nine thousand gold soul coins, you can pay back 10 a month, 120 a year, and it will be paid off in 75 years. By the way, they also said that if you have other merits, they can reduce the amount accordingly."

After saying that, the teacher quickly slipped away.

Tang San and Bai Yu looked at Yu Xiaogang, who clenched his fists as if he wanted to smash the table to pieces, but he held back.

He sat down, his face turning a deep purplish-red, and said in a low voice:

"You two, go back and rest."

After the two left, they seemed to hear the sound of something being smashed.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and deliberately asked Tang San:

"Little San, your teacher owes a huge sum of money. Won't he make you a debtor? Hmm, the Master provides subsidies, but if that happens, he won't have money to support your training."

After stirring up the fire, Bai Yu noticed that Tang San's face had also turned a liver color, but not as bad as the Great Master's; it was just a small liver color.

Yes, they truly are master and disciple; these two, Shi Tu and Shi Tu, are like family.

. . . . . .

The next morning, the three set off for the Soul Hunter Forest.

Perhaps because he was filled with embarrassing scenes of himself while trying to sleep at night, Yu Xiaogang kept talking about whatever came to mind along the way, as if trying to regain some face in this regard, which made Bai Yu want to sleep.

Finally, before he fell asleep, they arrived at the Soul Hunter Forest.

Yu Xiaogang was about to explain a whole bunch of random things when Bai Yu, while walking towards the entrance, said:

"Master, no need to explain. I've been here several times and I already know the process."

Yu Xiaogang was stunned:

"Have you been here several times already?"

Bai Yu nodded:

"Yes, I took on a mission at the academy. The Su family in the city thinks I'm very capable, so they often invite me to explore the Soul Hunter Forest with them."

Yu Xiaogang was stunned. I, a dignified master, was not invited by anyone, but you, a first-grader, were invited by the Su family??

At this moment, Tang San, who was following Bai Yu, turned around and shouted:

"Teacher, hurry up and catch up!"

The master then came to his senses and hurriedly followed, becoming even more determined to trick Bai Yu into becoming his disciple.

Bai Yu walked to the door and saw that the guard was an acquaintance of his, so he greeted him with a smile:

"Brother, long time no see! Are you on duty again today?"

The guard also recognized Bai Yu and was somewhat stunned.

"Long time no see? You've only been gone a few days! I saw you go in before my shift ended a few days ago, and you're here again today when I come back to take over?"

Bai Yu coughed twice, pointed at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, and said:

"My friend's teacher is going to help him hunt for spirit rings, and I'm here to assist him."

At this moment, the master rushed over and handed his token to the guard. Even though it only had one pattern on it and was the lowest-level token, it couldn't stop Yu Xiaogang from puffing out his chest and showing a proud expression.

See? If you want to enter the Soul Hunter Forest, you still need the Su family's help. If you acknowledge me as your teacher, I can bring you in at will!

Through the constant stream of narration from the system, Bai Yu learned of Yu Xiaogang's inner thoughts, but he was too lazy to retaliate.

The guard gave the master a strange look, as if he were an idiot, but still opened the door and let the three of them in.

The three entered the forest, and Yu Xiaogang gave them some instructions:

"The Soul Hunter's Forest is dangerous, you two stay close to me!"

Tang San nodded and obediently followed behind the master.

Bai Yu pretended to follow along, secretly complaining to himself, "I've been here dozens of times and haven't encountered many hundred-year-old soul beasts. Master, you're so lucky, could you help me lure one?"

Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, that Mandragora Snake will still come to its death. Bai Yu hopes for another hundred-year-old soul beast. No, Tang Hao might be watching from behind. Forget it, he'll skip the soul refining this time.

Having made up his mind, Bai Yu followed the two forward. They encountered some low-level soul beasts, but gained nothing else. It wasn't until nightfall, when the pack of little wolves attacked, that Bai Yu perked up after Luo Sanpao blew them away with a fart.

Looking at Luo Sanpao, who resembled both a pig and a dog, Tang San's lips twitched, and he asked:

"Teacher, is this your martial spirit?"

The master nodded, his face filled with grief, and said:

"It can only attack three times, hence the name 'Three Cannons'. After each attack, I feed it some food that induces flatulence, which reduces my soul power consumption."

Tang San's eyes lit up. "That's right! How come I didn't think of that? I can also eat some farting-inducing foods to strengthen myself!"

Suddenly, Bai Yu said from the side:

"Little San, your teacher's name is Luo Sanpao, so should you be called Tang Sanpao? That's a weird name."

Tang San and the Master both froze, remembering the "apprenticeship" they had taken that day.

[Plot: Tang San dislikes the nickname "Tang San Cannon" and is prepared to prevent you from mentioning it in front of him.]

Bai Yu changed "very" to "no," and Tang San, who had just been digging his toes into a four-bedroom apartment, suddenly said:

"That's a good name, Tang Sanpao, I like it very much. Since my teacher is called Luo Sanpao, I'll be called Tang Sanpao from now on! It just so happens that your martial soul is a pig, and mine is a dog, so our pig-dog combination will be invincible!"

Since Tang San doesn't dislike this nickname, the second half of the sentence is naturally invalid.

Bai Yu patted Tang San on the shoulder and laughed:

"You like this nickname, 'mistress'? That's great!"

Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded.

Holy crap, I hate this nickname, but it's become an indelible stain on my reputation. Who knew my apprentice would flock to it like it's a treasure? What kind of twisted sense of humor is that?

The master suppressed his disgust and said:

"Fine, since you like the mistress, you can call her whatever you want."

Anyway, my goal is to take Bai Yu as my disciple. Bai Yu, look at me, I don't even care if Tang San makes fun of himself. How open-minded I am! Being my disciple is very free!

Bai Yu continued calling him "Tang Sanpao," and when Tang San came to his senses, he realized that he had actually asked Bai Yu to call him that. He couldn't argue back, so he could only swallow his anger and clench his fists as Bai Yu gleefully called him "Tang Sanpao" again and again.

Damn it, if my teacher hadn't called me that, I wouldn't have such a humiliating nickname.
