Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 25 Yu Xiaogang Wants to Take on an Apprentice

When Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived at the gate of Notting Academy, Yu Xiaogang, who was known as "Grandmaster," happened to walk over from outside the gate and had a chance encounter with them.

Compared to the unkempt appearance Tang San first saw him in, Yu Xiaogang had tidied himself up, changed into clean clothes, cut his hair short, shaved off his stubble, though he still had some on his chin, and his eyes were full of light, making him look much more energetic than before.

Hello, teacher.

Tang San greeted them politely.

"I just watched your battle on the playground. It was very exciting. You are all very talented, but talent is not enough. You need a qualified teacher to guide you to continue moving forward."

Yu Xiaogang's purpose in saying this was very clear: he wanted to take them as his apprentices.

"Indeed, most people need a guide, but I'm different." Tang San smiled. "Teacher, I've heard a lot about your reputation at school."

Yu Xiaogang sighed and said, "It's all just empty fame."

Isn't this a bit shameless?

Tang San's lips twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: If an ordinary person didn't know the truth, they would think you were a real master of martial soul theory.

Xiao Wu asked softly, "Who is Xiao San?"

Tang San glanced at her and said, "Master Yu Xiaogang, didn't Wang Sheng tell you?"

"Oh, it's him, that good-for-nothing." Xiao Wu suddenly realized. Actually, she had seen Yu Xiaogang a few times when she went to the cafeteria, but she didn't pay much attention to him.

Judging from the current situation, does this person want to take her and Tang San as disciples?

That won't do!

Tang San's lips twitched, thinking to himself: This one is even more heavyweight!

It's true that Yu Xiaogang is a good-for-nothing, but you shouldn't say that to his face. After all, he's a friend of the Dean of Notting Academy and the son of the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Even if you don't know these things, you should at least understand some social etiquette, right?

ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh!

Tired.

As a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has taken human form, Xiao Wu still has a lot to learn.

Upon hearing the word "trash," Yu Xiaogang's smile faded slightly, but he maintained it nonetheless, since he needed these two to achieve success.

"Actually, that's just a misunderstanding from the outside world," Yu Xiaogang sighed. "I don't know if you've read the Ten Theories of Martial Soul Cultivation? That's what I published."

Since the two already knew their reputations were tarnished, Yu Xiaogang couldn't use the "play hard to get" approach. He could only use another method, like "boiling frogs in warm water," to subtly influence their thoughts.

Unfortunately, Tang San was a modern time traveler and didn't listen to his logic.

Without any real benefits, just empty talk to fool people?

Then don't blame him for just quietly watching you "show off," clapping afterwards, and then going back to his own way of life.

Of course, Tang San wouldn't completely believe the original story. After all, this is a real world, and Yu Xiaogang might actually have some skills.

Although the probability of this happening is extremely low, what if it does?

"I've read it." Tang San nodded. "It was published fifteen years ago. When I first read it, I was absolutely amazed."

"Oh?" Yu Xiaogang's smile softened. "You know something about it?"

"Well, I think those ten theories are correct in some ways, almost like common sense in the Soul Master world, but the problems they have are also very big, and they even seem a bit stupid."

Tang San glanced at Yu Xiaogang, whose face was a little ashen, and immediately changed the subject, "Of course, that was published by you fifteen years ago, Master. Times have changed. In fifteen years, a baby born into an ordinary family would have already gotten married and had children. It's normal for it to be outdated."

These words were already a gesture of respect to Yu Xiaogang, but his livid expression remained unchanged.

Tang San no longer held onto that "what if" chance.

I am just a child, at least six years old on the surface. The fact that the other person, an adult, showed such an unpleasant expression to a child proves that he is narrow-minded.

A theoretical master with a narrow mind is nothing but a joke, and has no other potential.

"What you said makes some sense." Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and decided not to argue with a child, telling himself: children's words are harmless.

"Master, if you have nothing else to say, Xiao Wu and I will head out." Tang San didn't want to get involved with Yu Xiaogang any further, to avoid trouble.

"Would you be willing to become my disciple?" Yu Xiaogang was not going to wait any longer and decided to get straight to the point, after all, he didn't know if he could wait another fifteen years.

Xiao Wu was about to speak when Tang San stopped her, asking, "Although my spirit is just a mutated Blue Silver Grass, I have innate level six spirit power, so I will at least be a Spirit Emperor in the future, while you, Grandmaster, are just a Great Spirit Master."

"Of course, I don't judge a person's talent based on their soul power level. However, you need to give me and Xiao Wu a reason to believe in you."

"Especially Xiao Wu, she was born with full soul power and is exceptionally talented. Even if we don't know which soul beast to choose for each soul ring in the future, as long as we choose soul beasts like rabbits, it won't have a significant negative impact on her martial soul. As long as she doesn't die, becoming a Title Douluo is just a matter of time."

"The only problem we will face in the future is that we need a strong person to protect us before we grow up. After all, there are many dangers in the world, and the strength of a strong person must be at least that of a Soul Saint."

Yu Xiaogang's expression grew increasingly grim.

He knew that Tang San was right; his strength was too weak to protect them.

Despite being born into the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and being the son of the clan leader, his innate soul power was only half a level, making it impossible for him to break through to level 30. Moreover, he almost married his cousin, Liu Erlong. How could he possibly face his clan?

Moreover, if they were to seek help from a family, would it be credited to Yu Xiaogang even if these two were able to grow up?

No!

It's all thanks to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family!

If he wanted to prove to his family that he wasn't a good-for-nothing, he couldn't possibly ask his family for cultivation resources or protection.

"I have a good friend who is now a Soul Saint and runs a Shrek Academy. We keep in touch often," Yu Xiaogang said, revealing his assets.

"Then could you please introduce me to your friend as his master?" Tang San asked.

"·····"

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang remained silent, Tang San did not make sarcastic remarks such as "It seems that the friendship between you and your friend is not very strong." Instead, he simply took Xiao Wu's hand and left.

Xiao Wu wanted to make a face at Yu Xiaogang, but Tang San forcibly pulled her away, saying, "Don't do anything meaningless. He has a strong sense of pride, and we don't know what he might do."

Xiao Wu scoffed, "Why are you so timid?"

"It's not cowardice, it's just not wanting to cause trouble," Tang San retorted. "Besides saying a few meaningless words, did they have any impact on us?"

"It seems not." Xiao Wu thought for a moment, and since she wouldn't become his disciple anyway, she said that.

"How to conduct oneself in society is also a form of self-cultivation. If you only think about angering others and then using your fists to solve the problem, it will make you stupid. You are already very stupid, you can't be any stupider, otherwise I won't know how to teach you." Tang San looked at Xiao Wu for a while before saying this in a low voice.

As for cloning, Xiao Wu knows what she's doing, but would she casually tell others that Tang San might be able to resurrect her mother in the future? Or would she just promote the concept of cloning indiscriminately?

When it comes to resurrection, they can't be that stupid.

At least, Xiao Wu shouldn't be that stupid, right?

If you think the original work is that stupid, then this book is fan fiction, and the setting is not.

Moreover, the author believes that Xiao Wu's personality in the original work was basically spoiled—putting aside her time as a soul beast, even in human society, Tang San of the Tang Sect provided her with almost meticulous protection, so her personality certainly wouldn't have changed much.

As for the other time travelers who knew that Tang San was also a time traveler from the modern era...

All I can say is that any transmigrator who has read the original novel would know that Tang San's behavior is different from that in the original novel, and would guess that he is from the Tang Sect. Why would he need to pretend?

It's practically impossible to hide it.

Unless Tang San truly becomes Yu Xiaogang's disciple and disguises himself... then this book will be no different from those fanfiction novels about showing off and getting slapped in the face.

I personally think it would be even more awkward.

Although this book also involves showing off and slapping faces, the personalities are at least not as stiff.

Maybe it's because I don't know how to write satisfying, lighthearted stories.

So, it's not a big problem.
