Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Let Xiao Lan go to school first, and he and his mistress can spend the night outside.

“I followed my third brother.”

Xiao Lan shook her head and followed closely behind Tang San, determined to stand with her third brother through thick and thin.

"OK then."

Looking back at the two sets of bedding on the oxcart, old Jack figured that finding a sheltered corner in the city that night and making sure the little blue bag was properly secured shouldn't be a problem.

"Wait, didn't you hear me? Clean up that puddle of cow urine before you leave."

Seeing that old Jack was about to leave, the young gatekeeper called out.

You old codger, if you don't clean that thing up, do you expect me to do it?

"Don't go too far. We don't have anything in our hands, how are we supposed to wipe it?"

Old Jack was also furious. They had no tools; how were they supposed to clean it?

Besides, it's just cow urine. It will seep through the cracks in the rocky road in a while. Is it really necessary to be so serious about it?

"If you have nothing else, use your clothes to wipe yourself. Don't even think about leaving until you've wiped yourself clean."

The young doorman stepped forward and poked old Jack hard in the chest with his finger, making him stagger.

He was just making things difficult for this old guy. Who told him to be so ignorant and spit in his face? If it weren't for the academy's rules, he would have kicked him long ago.

Old Jack was thrown off balance by the poking, but a small hand caught his lower back and helped him regain his balance. Then, a short figure turned around and stood in front of Old Jack, placing his palm on the young doorman's lower abdomen and hooking his left foot behind the doorman's right foot, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

The one who made the move was Tang San.

Old Jack was dumbfounded. He never expected Tang San to make a move and even push a grown man to the ground. How much strength must that take?

"Well, so you've come here to cause trouble."

The young gatekeeper, enraged by being pushed over, got up and manifested his wooden stick martial spirit.

He must have some ability to be able to work as a gatekeeper at the academy. Although he only managed to cultivate his soul power to level eight when he was nearly thirty years old because his innate soul power was too low, it was still something that ordinary people could not compare to.

Seeing that the young gatekeeper had manifested his martial spirit, Tang San was secretly annoyed and raised his arm, intending to use his hidden arrow.

"Alright, stop!"

Just as the young gatekeeper was about to swing his stick and Tang San was about to unleash his hidden arrow, a somewhat hoarse voice rang out.

"Master, you're back."

The young gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and scraped to the newcomer, a change so swift that even Tang San was taken aback.

Tang San turned his head and saw that the person who came was a thin man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He had short black hair parted in a three-seven ratio and had an ordinary appearance. He had his hands behind his back and had a very special temperament. He was very similar to a scholar who had visited the Tang Sect in his previous life, and he also had a bit of a lazy and decadent air about him.

That's right, the person who came was Yu Xiaogang. Over the years, he had been staying with his old friend in Notting City, collecting data on the students of the academy for research.

"Sir, could I please take a look at that certificate?"

Ignoring the doorman, Yu Xiaogang looked at the certificate in Old Jack's hand.

He was initially drawn here by the sound of innate full soul power, which piqued his interest.

He didn't believe that a country bumpkin would dare to forge a certificate issued by the Spirit Hall, so there must be something wrong with it. He even had a bold idea: if that were the case, he would have a chance.

"Master, please look. This is a certificate issued by Lord Su Yuntao, the patrol officer of the Spirit Hall, and Lord Tian Boguang. It is absolutely genuine."

Lord Su Yuntao also mentioned that Xiao San's situation was special, and that we should contact him so he could help us get in touch with the Spirit Hall Academy, Illusionary Sound University, Dragon Elephant University, and Purple Thunder University.

Old Jack quickly handed over Tang San's certificate and recounted Su Yuntao's words from that time.

He wasn't stupid. From the young gatekeeper's attitude, he could tell that this master's status in the academy was definitely not low, and his vision was far beyond what the young gatekeeper could compare to. He could definitely tell that the certificate was genuine.

Yu Xiaogang took the certificate and glanced at it, then his gaze fell on the two children. He quickly ignored the very ordinary little girl and finally carefully examined the calm-looking little boy, guessing that this must be the Tang San mentioned on the certificate.

Tang San felt a chill run down his spine, as if his entire being had been seen through, and he began to take the master in front of him even more seriously.

This is definitely not a simple person.

"The proof is correct, sir. On behalf of the academy, I apologize for what happened earlier. Please leave the child to me."

Yu Xiaogang confirmed the authenticity of the certificate, becoming even more certain of his guess and paying more attention to the child. If it was true, the child would surely be able to prove himself to the entire Soul Master community.

"No need to apologize, no need to apologize, we also made mistakes."

Master, I'm leaving these two children in your care.

"Xiao San, Xiao Lan, you two follow the master inside and behave well."

Being apologized to by a Soul Master greatly satisfied Old Jack's vanity. He quickly waved his hands in response, gave the two children some final instructions, and handed them the two sets of small quilts from the oxcart.

"Master, that's Blue Silver Grass, and the certificate doesn't mention anything about mutations."

The young doorman was taken aback. He had studied at Notting College when he was young. Although he was too poor to graduate before the age of twelve, he studied his academic subjects very diligently.

If it were a mutated Blue Silver Grass, it would make sense for it to have a high level of innate soul power, but the certificate only stated Blue Silver Grass and did not indicate any mutation.

If the Spirit Hall's patrol officers had actually seen it and issued this certificate, it would definitely be ordinary Blue Silver Grass, which doesn't make sense.

Are you questioning me?

Yu Xiaogang glanced at the person with indifference, too lazy to explain to such a nobody. The world of the strong was beyond the comprehension of such people.

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Shrinking his neck, the young doorman repeatedly said he dared not.

This master is a friend of the dean. He has been eating and drinking for free in the academy for more than ten years without anyone interfering. How could I, a mere gatekeeper, possibly offend him?

"This is the first and last time. If you do it again, you're out of here."

With a cold warning, Yu Xiaogang had witnessed everything and could guess some of the gatekeeper's ulterior motives, and felt extremely disgusted by such behavior.

"Let's go in!"

Ignoring the gatekeeper, Yu Xiaogang took Tang San's hand and walked into the academy.

As Tang San carried the bedding in one hand, he felt that the master's hands were dry and soft, and comfortable to hold. Moreover, there was a faint fragrance about him, which made him feel a sense of trust.

Little Blue, carrying her own small bedding set, followed closely behind like a tiny, invisible figure. When she reached the young gatekeeper, she even bowed apologetically, making the frustrated and aggrieved gatekeeper feel a little better.

"Pah! You're so high and mighty, but you're just freeloading off the academy, aren't you?"

After Yu Xiaogang and the other two had walked away, the young gatekeeper spat out a mouthful of spittle, looking very disdainful.

Everyone in the academy knows that you, Master Yu, are a freeloader. You haven't contributed anything to the academy, yet you eat and stay there for free. Isn't it just because you have some connection with the dean?

"What are you looking at? Get out of here!"

After glaring at old Jack, the young gatekeeper dusted himself off, rubbed his back, and walked back to the small room inside the school gate to rest.

That kid is really strong. He must have fallen pretty hard, and his back hurts terribly. You really can't tell he's only six years old.

"Thank you, teacher."

Tang San thanked the master, saying that it was all thanks to the master's intervention that things had turned out badly.

"I am not a teacher at this college."

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Tang San and said calmly, but there was an air of arrogance in his voice.

A junior Soul Master academy isn't qualified for him to join as a teacher. His goal is to create a Soul Master University, but he didn't have the opportunity before. Now, however, the opportunity has arrived.

"Didn't you just say you were representing the academy?"

Tang San was puzzled. The master had just said that he was apologizing to the village chief on behalf of the academy. How could someone who wasn't a teacher of the academy represent the academy?

"Who says only faculty members can represent the college?"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head slightly. That was just a rhetorical device. Saying it that way would be the quickest way to defuse the old man's anger and gain the approval of both the old man and the little guy, thus laying the groundwork for his next scheme.

Anyway, it's just a sentence, and I haven't lost anything.

"I understand, you must be the college's principal or a leader, right?"

Tang San suddenly realized a possibility: if it wasn't an ordinary teacher, then it could only be a higher-level leader, or even the dean.

Yu Xiaogang was fairly satisfied with Tang San's guess, and forced a smile as he praised, "You're smarter than other kids your age, but you're wrong. I'm just a guest here who's freeloading. You can call me Master. My name... I've forgotten it."

The title of "master" is also my honor. There are countless teachers in mainland China, but the title of "master" belongs only to me. The two titles have completely different meanings.

I ask you, would you be willing to let me be your teacher?

"Of all the people in the world, I understand you best, and only I can teach you and truly unlock your potential."

He paused at the end, his eyes gleaming with a burning light, his arrogance becoming even more pronounced.

Although that wicked woman deceived him, he also learned a lot about the mysteries of twin martial souls, many of which were the research results of the Spirit Hall. No one in the world knew more about twin martial souls than him.

"You want to teach me how to cultivate a martial spirit?"

Tang San was deeply moved by Yu Xiaogang's confidence and arrogance, which further convinced him that Yu Xiaogang was a man of great ability.

After all, someone who possesses the only title in the entire continent is no ordinary person. Could this be a Title Douluo?

Grandmaster Douluo?

"So, are you willing or not?"

Stopping in his tracks, Yu Xiaogang turned around to face Tang San.

Tang San remained silent. He did have a good impression of this master, but that was all.

After all, we haven't known each other for very long, and my understanding of this person is just speculation without any substantial confirmation.

Moreover, in his mind, taking a master is of great significance, and one can only have one master in one's lifetime.

"You are smarter than I just judged."

Tang San's silence made Yu Xiaogang even more gratified, and he understood the meaning behind this silence.

The fact that he didn't refuse meant he didn't want to offend me, while keeping an eye on me meant he was waiting for me to show my true abilities. If he didn't have some tricks up his sleeve, why would anyone want to become my apprentice?

"Gifted and intelligent, it seems I have to be persistent this time. After all, you are the third person in a hundred years to possess twin martial souls, so it is worth my effort."

He was very satisfied with this child. Not only was he exceptionally talented, but he was also precocious and intelligent, making him feel as if he were facing an adult, and a calculating one at that, like Flanders.

With such extraordinary talent and intelligence, he is destined to reach the pinnacle of Soul Masters, or even the legendary level 100 and godhood.
