Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 49: A New Mission Line! (Please Read On!)

At this point, You Chen's purpose was obvious.

He chose to jump out at the stage when Tang San had just become his disciple, a stage where he wouldn't regret his values!

Then they made things difficult for the master and apprentice.

Given Tang San's personality, even if he belatedly realizes that Yu Xiaogang is a fake master and a real waste, and that he has been deceived, since he has already become a disciple, he will only swallow the bitter pill for now!

Then, in a state of extreme frustration and even self-torture, he had no choice but to learn from Yu Xiaogang.

Those of you who have received nine years of compulsory education know that a student who studies with a resistant and rebellious attitude towards teachers will not be very efficient!

Even if Yu Xiaogang didn't talk about his nonsensical theories, and simply imparted his knowledge reserves, there would be no problem at all. He would be far superior to the teachers in this junior academy. But how could Tang San learn happily?

Tang San is still going down the wrong path of martial soul cultivation arranged by Yu Xiaogang, but this time his efficiency in learning martial soul knowledge will probably be cut in half.

Furthermore, once You Chen's subsequent arrangements for Tang San are revealed one by one, Tang San's initial rebellious feelings towards his teacher may develop into hatred for being delayed and deceived!

Then came the insane act of devouring the master!

By then, the connections that Tang San had gained through Yu Xiaogang, which had stood behind him, would turn against him and become his enemies...

However, the master and apprentice do not yet know what the future holds for them, and at this moment they are still in a harmonious and happy state, with the master and apprentice working together.

"Teacher, let's work together to prove them wrong!"

Tang San seemed completely unaffected by You Chen's words, looking at Yu Xiaogang with a spirited and determined expression.

Nonsense! One is a master who is like a father to her, and the other is a stranger she has only met once, who has even bewitched such a kind girl!

It's not even a question of who Tang San will choose to believe.

This guy always sides with his own people regardless of reason, blindly siding with whoever he feels closer to.

So what if Yu Xiaogang "lost" to You Xing's teacher You Chen decades ago? This fact has already been acknowledged by her own teacher.

If I, as the disciple, can defeat the other disciple, wouldn't that prove my teacher's strength?

Tang San, possessing the Xuan Tian Treasure Record and the unique twin martial souls, has such confidence!

"Okay, little sister, I'll take you to register right away!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at her disciple, who was completely devoted to her, and nodded with emotion.

Meanwhile...

"Hmph, that peasant boy is truly ungrateful! Junior Brother, you were clearly looking out for him, yet he treated you like that and even tried to cause you trouble!"

Xiao Wu and You Chen were strolling down the street, eating and drinking, while Xiao Wu also stood up for You Chen.

Perhaps because she felt that You Chen had stood up for her earlier, Xiao Wu felt a greater sense of approval and goodwill towards You Chen than when she had approached him out of mere curiosity.

However, is it really about "supporting Xiao Wu"?

You Chen hadn't even considered this idea for a second.

His original plan was to plant a seed of distrust towards Yu Xiaogang in Tang San at that time.

It was simply a matter of chance.

"Oh." He simply nodded in response to Xiao Wu's statement.

"What's with this? I was clearly speaking up for you, and you're being so perfunctory... Oh well, that's just your personality. Sister Xiaowu is very magnanimous, so I'll forgive your disrespect!"

You Chen responded to Xiao Wu, but in reality, he didn't even have the thought of paying attention to her.

At that moment, his mind was focused on something else.

Ding.

Ding.

Although the system is not intelligent, it still has some user-friendly features. For example, it allows Youchen to set the system to disable automatic prompts during conversations or battles, and instead pop up to remind him after the interaction ends.

"Huh? Two sounds?"

You Chen raised an eyebrow.

One of the notifications was exactly what You Chen had expected; it was a notification that one of the task conditions for Yu Xiaogang had been completed.

Just as You Chen had guessed...

"A great scholar will debate the classics for you," so You Chen simply used his second incarnation, You Xing, to become a great scholar, thus reawakening Yu Xiaogang's psychological trauma.

Normally, with Youxing as her alias, why would Yu Xiaogang be so swayed?

However, this was done in front of Yu Xiaogang's newly accepted disciple, a concept similar to "offending in front of one's husband," which was both a breach of defense and a critical hit.

As for him deliberately provoking Yu Xiaogang... not only would it be beneath him, but it might also attract unnecessary attention from certain people. Even comparing their positions in the theoretical world, You Chen's current act of deliberately criticizing Yu Xiaogang's theories as utter nonsense is, in a sense, patting Yu Xiaogang on the back.

That's not an exaggeration at all. You can compare it to Qian Xuesen publicly accusing some unknown, rural amateur scientist of academic fraud—isn't that just giving the other side free traffic?!

And yet, as a child, he managed to provoke Yu Xiaogang to the point of being speechless; even Bibi Dong would find that embarrassing…

This quest prompt was within You Chen's expectations, but the next one followed immediately—

"Huh? Junior brother, why did you suddenly stop?"

Xiao Wu looked at You Chen, who had suddenly stopped and whose face was slightly distorted, and said with a chill, "Wait, what's with that expression? You didn't just realize you were angry with those two, did you?"

"It's nothing."

It took You Chen a while to calm down and pretend nothing had happened before he continued to follow.

angry?

That's because he was so excited that he had to forcefully control his facial muscles to avoid ruining his icy persona!

Although it seems that in the end they couldn't control it...

[Mission: You kindly reminded Tang San that Yu Xiaogang's reputation was undeserved, but Tang San not only didn't appreciate it, but also harbored resentment because you spoke disrespectfully to his teacher. He plans to find an opportunity to humiliate you severely later! There's even a chance he'll give you a final judgment that leads to your death! As someone destined to become a god, how can you sit idly by and wait for such an ungrateful and ignorant person!?]

Find an opportunity to fight Tang San head-on and defeat him!

The task reward will increase based on the number of onlookers.

Teams of 10 or fewer will receive a basic reward. Teams of 100 or more will receive an additional reward.

[Basic Rewards: One "Marrow Cleansing" treatment, one "Flash of Inspiration," and one "Illumination of the Origin" treatment]

[Bonus Reward: Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique (Pseudo) (Due to the limitations of the world's strength, it has been weakened to a method with only body-refining effects. Even so, it is still the ultimate secret technique in the field of body refining in Douluo Continent!)]

This is... the second questline? A questline belonging to Wandering Dust (II)!?

You Chen was so shocked by this that he even momentarily overlooked the amazing mission reward.

To prevent misunderstandings among some readers, this clarification is provided. The incredibly generous rewards Tang San received for this mission, and those of Yu Xiaogang, are due to the exceptional success of their first missions. A detailed explanation will follow (though the reasons given are quite common).
