In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 280 Tang San: Inner Core Soul Ring?

After eating a simple meal of dry rations with water outside the canteen, Tang San quickly returned to the canteen. This time, he didn't go inside, but stood quietly at the canteen entrance waiting for Yu Xiaogang.

The reason he "condescended" like this is, as I said before, although Yu Xiaogang is a good-for-nothing, since he can bring him a lot of benefits in the future, he doesn't mind giving this master some "face" that he wants.

After waiting for about half an hour, Tang San finally saw Yu Xiaogang come out of the cafeteria, accompanied by a middle-aged man of similar age.

The middle-aged man was wearing a long robe and was a few times more handsome than Yu Xiaogang. He had a slightly protruding chin and a gentle smile on his face.

"Let's go, mistress."

Although they had only met today, Yu Xiaogang inexplicably felt a strong connection with Tang San, his second disciple, so he greeted Tang San, who was standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, with a practiced ease.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man next to Yu Xiaogang chuckled and asked, "Is this your newly accepted disciple?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded.

The middle-aged man patted the master on the shoulder and said, "Alright, I wish you success. I'm leaving now." After saying that, he glanced at Tang San and then headed in another direction.

Tang San looked at him but didn't pay much attention. He was just a minor dean of Notting Academy. Why was he making such a fuss? In his eyes, his meager strength was no different from cannon fodder.

In the future, helping him hunt for his second spirit ring might be of some use. Of course, helping the dignified Tang God King hunt for a spirit ring would undoubtedly be an honor for the dean of Notting Academy.

Soon, Yu Xiaogang led Tang San to his staff dormitory. The room was small, only about 30 square meters, and the contents were simple. There was a bookshelf that occupied two walls and was filled with all kinds of books. In the center was a wooden table with many things scattered on it.

Tang San had visited Yu Xiaogang's room many times in his previous life, so he wasn't particularly interested in looking at it. However, suddenly Tang San's eyes widened slightly, as if something had attracted the attention of the former Tang God King.

Yu Xiaogang didn't notice Tang San's slightly strange expression at this moment, but simply took out a paper package from her bosom and handed it to Tang San.

"Eat first. You're still growing, so the food can't be too bad."

Tang San opened the paper package and saw two chicken legs and a steamed bun inside, still warm. His eyes flickered with complex emotions as he thought about how in his past life he had been deeply grateful to Yu Xiaogang, and these two items had played a part in that...

When exactly did his personality truly begin to change?

Tang San didn't think much of it, glanced at Yu Xiaogang, and started eating.

"Eat quickly, you can't waste your youth. I have something to tell you after you finish eating."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with a calm and serious expression, and said lightly, but a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes.

Little genius, eat well, grow up well and you can prove your teacher's worth in the future... The chicken leg and steamed bun I casually brought from the second floor of the cafeteria were only worth a few copper soul coins, but they were enough to win the heart of a super genius who was born with full soul power and had twin martial souls.

This is an absolute steal!

It has to be said that if Yu Xiaogang could master absolute martial soul power, he might actually achieve something quite remarkable.

Soon after, Yu Xiaogang poured Tang San a glass of water and then sat down behind the desk.

"You are six years old this year, with innate full soul power and twin martial souls. Release your other martial soul so I can see it."

Tang San nodded, then raised his hand and released his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang indeed stood up abruptly from her seat, her eyes filled with extreme excitement as she stared intently at the large black hammer in Tang San's hand, muttering to herself:

"Tang San, Tang San, surname Tang... Alright, put your spirit away now, and don't show it to others easily. Without my permission, never add a spirit ring to this spirit again. Remember that."

Tang San nodded again, behaving very obediently.

"Aren't you going to ask me why?"

Yu Xiaogang asked, somewhat puzzled.

"If I ask, will you tell me?"

Tang San countered with a question.

Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment and said, "Well... it's not the right time to tell you yet. You just need to remember that the reason we're not letting you use this martial soul and are not adding soul rings to it right now is for your future. You must keep that in mind."

"By the way, what does your dad do?"

"He's the village blacksmith."

"blacksmith……"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's gaze became somewhat strange, as if she had suddenly thought of something. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly before immediately returning to a calm expression.

Tang San happened to notice this strange expression on his face, and he couldn't help but wonder, wasn't Yu Xiaogang, this good-for-nothing, a loyal fan of his father? Why was he laughing when he mentioned him?

Faintly, Tang San could still seem to catch a glimpse of words from Yu Xiao's tongue, which seemed to be something like "the sun"...

It's probably just my imagination.

Yu Xiaogang sighed and shook his head. "A blacksmith and a hammer are a perfect match."

He went on to say that.

"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and classes will officially begin the day after tomorrow, but that's just a waste of time for you. The most important thing right now is to ensure your martial spirit can continue its cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up.

So, are we finally going to hunt for our first spirit ring?

Although breaking through to the first ring of a Soul Master wasn't particularly exciting for him, after witnessing Xiao Wu and Huo Yuhao both become first-ring Soul Masters, he felt a sense of urgency.

Now that he was about to hunt for a spirit ring, he was quite excited. Then, he subconsciously began to think about whether he should choose the Mandragora Serpent, which was only about four hundred years old, as his first spirit ring in this life, just like in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Tang San couldn't help but glance at Yu Xiaogang with a strange look. Looking back at his soul ring configuration in his previous life after becoming a god, he could easily see that although Yu Xiaogang's planning and choices for him were... to put it positively, unconventional, they weren't too bad, but they were definitely not too good either.

Fortunately, he will inherit the dual godhood of the Sea God and the Asura God in the future, so his future Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul will not have too much of an impact on this aspect. Otherwise, not to mention this life, even in his previous life, Yu Xiaogang would probably have been secretly marked with a "path to death" by him and then silently eliminated.

Just as Tang San was silently pondering how to choose a soul ring for a soul beast that was already outdated, Yu Xiaogang spoke up calmly.

"Little San, I'll take you to the Spirit Branch Hall first thing tomorrow morning to see if there are any suitable inner core spirit rings for you."

Tang San: ? ? ?
