Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Ice and Snow Maiden, Calls Snow Empress "Mom"

Chapter 35 Tang San, Is There Still Hope for Him?

"However—"

Xue Bingchen looked at the six-year-old Tang San in the distance, who was still enduring the gatekeeper's insults, but whose wrist was already secretly reaching for the hidden arrow in his sleeve. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Tang San has just come out of Holy Soul Village and is still a blank slate with a slightly cunning mind. He hasn't even become Yu Xiaogang's disciple yet, which means—there's still hope!"

Tang San is an extremely hypocritical and controlling person.

Ordinary preaching is absolutely useless if you want to change him.

There must be someone whose strength, talent, intelligence, and tactics completely overwhelm him, who can forcefully intervene in his life with an absolutely domineering attitude, to guide him, or rather—

Go and "train" him!

On this point, Xue Bingchen was 100% confident!

He's not like Yu Xiaogang, a useless guy who's at level 29, almost 50 years old, and still living off women and apprentices!

In the original story, Yu Xiaogang was able to barely keep Tang San in check and put on the airs of a strict teacher in the early stages, relying on Tang San's ignorance and the plagiarized theories he used.

But as Tang San grew stronger and stronger and gradually accepted Shrek Academy's selfish philosophy, what became of Yu Xiaogang?

It's obvious to everyone!

Xue Bingchen even pictured the comical scene that netizens had been relentlessly criticizing in his previous life:

Someday in the future.

Yu Xiaogang, with a fawning expression, grabbed Tang San's hand: "Little San! You've become a god? That's wonderful! You're the Sea God and the Asura God King! I heard that gods can only ascend to the God Realm with their relatives? Quick! Quickly take your master with you! Your master doesn't ask for much, I don't need any first-level or second-level gods, just give me any priestly position, and let me live forever!"

Meanwhile, the "pure and immaculate Tang God-King," whose image had been completely corrupted and who now spouted nothing but benevolence and morality, righteously shook off Yu Xiaogang's hand and shouted angrily, "How dare you! Gangzi! Are you trying to teach me how to do things?!"

"You've already broken through the level 30 'useless' barrier thanks to the elixir of immortality I painstakingly found for you—the ninth-grade purple ganoderma," aren't you satisfied? One should be content with what one has!

"Furthermore, the rules of the divine realm are strict, and the number of divine positions is limited! Even high-ranking officials cannot make promises lightly. Even if I were the God-King, I absolutely cannot show favoritism or make exceptions for you! Rules are rules!"

If the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma were alive, it would probably be crying its eyes out in the toilet: So, this immortal herb of mine was really fed to a dog back then!

If Huo Gua, the son-in-law who was tormented to the point of near death by Tang San, were to hear this, he would probably roll his eyes and furiously retort: ​​"No exceptions? You're talking nonsense! I feel like the plane laws and the God Realm of Douluo Continent are like your Tang family's own backyard? You can do whatever you want with it?!"

"No, we absolutely cannot let something so disgusting happen!"

Xue Bingchen secretly hardened his heart, and the smile on his face completely disappeared, replaced by an undeniable domineering expression.

"I've decided to take Tang San, this chosen one, in today's world! If he really can't be disciplined, then before he grows up, I'll just slap him to death and eliminate any future trouble!"

At this very moment, undercurrents were swirling around the entrance of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

Besides Tang San and Old Jack, who were arguing with the gatekeeper, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut, hands behind his back, pretending to be profound, was already crouching behind a big tree inside the academy gate.

It was Yu Xiaogang!

Heaven knows how overjoyed and excited Yu Xiaogang was when he learned in advance through his meager network of connections that there was a child named "Tang San" from the remote Holy Soul Village among this year's freshmen!

The reason is simple: the awakening certificate issued by the Spirit Hall clearly states:

Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass;

Soul power, innate full soul power!

"Blue Silver Grass? Innate full soul power? Hahaha, this is utterly ridiculous!"

Yu Xiaogang hid behind a tree, so excited that his hands were trembling slightly.

If the deacon in charge of awakening at the Spirit Hall wasn't blind and the information on the certificate wasn't wrong, then it can only mean one thing!

A Blue Silver Grass, which is recognized by the entire Soul Master community as a standard useless spirit, absolutely, absolutely cannot possess innate full soul power!

This violates the most basic common sense in the world of Soul Masters!

Therefore, the only explanation is that this child named Tang San must have another extremely powerful second spirit hidden within him, powerful enough to support his innate full spirit power!

"Twin Martial Souls! This is a once-in-a-century phenomenon!"

Yu Xiaogang's breathing became rapid.

This unparalleled genius just happened to appear in a godforsaken place like Holy Soul Village, and now he's going to study at Notting Academy, where Yu Xiaogang is staying!

What does this tell us?

Isn't this just a tool that God prepared for Yu Xiaogang to turn his life around, because He saw that he had lived a very frustrating life for most of his years?

No, is this a good disciple specially prepared for him?!

Yu Xiaogang was absolutely confident that as long as he could take Tang San as his disciple, he would definitely be able to teach Tang San to become the strongest person in the entire continent!

As for why he himself is almost fifty years old and is still only a level 29 Great Soul Master?

"Hmph, that's entirely because my martial soul, Luo Sanpao, underwent a malignant mutation. This is an injustice from God! It's a flaw in my martial soul, and has absolutely nothing to do with my talent or hard work!"

Yu Xiaogang comforted himself with a sense of self-righteousness.

"Although my soul power is weak, I am the number one sage on the entire continent! My 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls' is such a monumental work! Wherever I go, people respectfully call me 'Master'!"

Of course, Yu Xiaogang automatically ignored one fact in his mind:

He usually only goes to places where people are willing to call him "master".

As for those who mocked him, he simply assumed they were jealous of his talent.

Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang straightened his collar, adopted the demeanor of a hermit, and prepared to step forward immediately.

He would descend like a savior when Tang San was most helplessly bullied by that snobbish gatekeeper, loudly rebuke the gatekeeper, and then naturally display his "erudition" to guide Tang San to bow down in worship!

He's already written the script!

However, before Yu Xiaogang could even take a step, Tang San's extraordinary talent far exceeded his expectations!

The seemingly frail six-year-old boy, instead of retreating, advanced when pushed by the gatekeeper.

With a slight shift in his steps, his figure flashed like a ghost, and with just a gentle push, the adult gatekeeper fell flat on his face, unable to get up for a long time!
