Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

Despite Chen Luo's calm and composed demeanor, he was actually becoming nervous and excited inside.

This first encounter with Tang San was very important. Chen Luo had considered other ways to resolve the current situation, but ultimately decided to follow the original development of the story.

Seeing Chen Luo's respect for him, Old Jack was quite flattered and immediately handed the certificate in his hand to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo glanced at the certificate, which contained Tang San's basic information, the most important of which was his martial soul and innate soul power level.

Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass.

Innate Soul Power Level: Level 10.

Chen Luo's gaze then fell on Tang San. At that moment, Tang San was also looking at Chen Luo. Their eyes met, and Tang San subconsciously looked away. Chen Luo then showed a look of surprise, but it was fleeting.

"The proof is true, sir. On behalf of the academy, I apologize for what happened earlier! Please entrust this child to me."

Chen Luo said calmly that he didn't want to read the lines from the script, but this approach was indeed more reasonable.

You can't exactly pat old Jack on the shoulder and say, "Old man, I'm taking this kid with me."

It's almost unbearable to think about...

Old Jack nodded hurriedly, his face full of smiles, and said with a smile that he and Tang San also had their faults, followed by words like "trouble is ahead".

Immediately afterward, Old Jack gave Tang San a few instructions and then let Tang San leave with Chen Luo, as if afraid that Chen Luo might change his mind at the last minute.

Chen Luo led Tang San into the academy, talking to him about the twin martial souls along the way.

Having Yu Xiaogang's memories, it's relatively easy for me to talk about twin martial souls.

Even if Yu Xiaogang's professional skills are questionable, at least he doesn't have too much of a problem when it comes to pretending to be professional.

Chen Luo doesn't need to do anything extra; he just needs to "play himself."

Seeing that Tang San was quite interested in this, he smiled and said, "Why don't you become my disciple? I will definitely teach you everything I know."

"However, there's one thing I need to tell you beforehand: my soul power level isn't high. I've only done some research on soul masters and soul beasts. You should think it over."

Chen Luo was only trying it out, but Tang San looked very serious. After a brief moment of consideration, he suddenly took a big step back and knelt down.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Tang San kowtowed three times forcefully, then respectfully called out, "Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

Chen Luo was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. He immediately smiled and agreed, "Okay, okay, get up quickly!"

[Newbie Quest - Apprenticeship Completed, Quest Reward Received - Marrow Cleansing Pill!!!]

The system was also very efficient; it immediately notified me of the task completion and issued system rewards after I successfully recruited an apprentice.

"Come on, let me take you to register first!"

Chen Luo took Tang San's hand and led him to the Academic Affairs Office.

Along the way, Chen Luo introduced the layout of the academy to Tang San, with a faint smile on his face, though the smile looked a little stiff.

Chen Luo was genuinely happy, but Yu Xiaogang's sour face didn't cooperate. When someone who hasn't laughed in a long time suddenly laughs, it's bound to look a little strange.

Following Chen Luo, Tang San memorized the places in the academy that Chen Luo mentioned while reviewing his recent journey of becoming an apprentice.

"What I lack most right now is an understanding of this world. My teacher is clearly a professional. He was able to guess the existence of twin martial souls, which even the Spirit Hall couldn't discover. I definitely won't regret becoming his disciple."

"And the teacher is clearly a very good person. Even towards ordinary people like me and Old Jack from the countryside, he showed me enough respect. Before I became his apprentice, he also told me about his own shortcomings without reservation. It seems I have found a good teacher."

Chen Luo had no idea that Tang San was thinking so much; he was just enjoying himself for successfully completing the beginner's quest.

At that moment, Chen Luo had already brought Tang San to the Academic Affairs Office. As soon as they entered, Chen Luo received many strange looks, but he didn't care at all. He led Tang San straight to a teacher who was over sixty years old.

"Director Su, this is the work-study student sent by Shenghun Village this year. Could you please help him register?"

As he spoke, Chen Luo placed Tang San's Spirit Hall certificate on the table.

Director Su didn't even glance at the certificate. He simply looked up at Chen Luo, then fixed his gaze on Tang San, his expression rather indifferent: "Understood."

As he spoke, Director Su glanced at the two young teachers beside him. The two immediately understood, each took out a registration book, picked up the Spirit Hall's certificate from the table, and began the registration process.

As soon as the recording began, a young teacher exclaimed in surprise, "What? Innate full soul power?"

Perhaps because he was too excited, the young teacher shouted it out almost subconsciously, and all the teachers in the academic affairs office heard it.

Soon, everyone's attention was focused on Tang San, including that of Director Su.

However, another young man's words brought everyone back to normal: "So what if your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass and you have innate full soul power?"

Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, their lips unconsciously curving upwards with a hint of sarcasm. Only Director Su looked regretful and slowly said, "There are no useless martial souls..."

“Only useless Soul Masters,” Chen Luo added the second half of the sentence.

After this brief interlude, the two young teachers quickly completed their registration and handed their respective registration books to Director Su for signature.

With a stroke of his pen, Director Su completed Tang San's enrollment registration.

"Thank you very much," Chen Luo said with a smile.

Director Su glanced at Chen Luo indifferently, then looked at Tang San: "Go over there and get your things; they're being distributed free of charge by the academy."

Actually, there wasn't much, just two school uniforms, not even a blanket.

However, they should be content. Free schooling, free uniforms, and easy jobs assigned by the college after enrollment are all very good for work-study students. This system truly deserves recognition.

Chen Luo took Tang San to the dormitory, which was Dormitory 7.

The Seventh Dormitory was empty at this time, so Chen Luo took Tang San to his own residence.

"Teacher, is what you said to that teacher just now true?" Tang San suddenly asked on the way.

Chen Luo asked, "Which sentence?"

Tang San said, "There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters!"

"Oh."

Chen Luo smiled, paused, and then said, "What do you think?"

Tang San fell silent, unsure how to respond.

Chen Luo said, "A piece of trash will always be trash. No matter how hard you try, you'll still be trash. Your upper limit is fixed, and that's all you'll ever be."

"But if you don't work hard, you don't even deserve to be called a piece of trash."

"This may sound a bit harsh, but it's the truth."

"But you don't need to overthink it. You just need to motivate yourself to work hard, because you were born to stand at the top!"

Tang San was slightly taken aback, wanting to say something, but in the end he hesitated and fell silent again.

At this moment, Chen Luo had already brought Tang San to his residence.

Chen Luo's residence was a small room in a corner on the top floor of the dormitory building. The room was only about 30 square meters and contained mostly various kinds of books, in addition to simple living utensils.

"I have an unused blanket here, you can take it."

After entering the room, Chen Luo went to a cabinet in the corner of the room, took out a quilt, and handed it to Tang San.

Tang San quickly thanked him, "Thank you, teacher!"

Chen Luo simply waved his hand, and with a large open hand, a jade bottle quietly appeared. Inside the jade bottle was a crystal-clear pill. Chen Luo generously handed it to Tang San: "This is a good thing. It can help people improve their physique. I've always been reluctant to take it, so I'm giving it to you!"

Tang San was slightly taken aback and was about to speak when Chen Luo had already placed the jade bottle into Tang San's hand.

"Now that I've accepted you as my disciple, I naturally want to give you the best of everything. This is all I have to do in my life, but you have unlimited potential!" Chen Luo said with a smile.

Tang San was visibly moved, deeply touched.

Chen Luo's body trembled slightly at this moment, feeling an unbearable pain in his heart.

[You gifted bedding to Tang San... but the apprenticeship reward was not triggered!]

It was this damned system notification that made Chen Luo act impulsively and gamble away the Marrow Cleansing Pill he had just received as a reward for completing the mission.

[You gifted Tang San a Marrow Cleansing Pill... but the discipleship reward was not triggered and was returned!]

The gifts were indeed sent out, but no benefits were gained. How could Chen Luo not feel the pinch!

Even though he was heartbroken, Chen Luo still had to put on his Golden Horse Award-winning acting skills and try his best to appear as if he would give anything for Chen Luo.

"Alright, go back to your dorm," Chen Luo said, needing to calm down.

Tang San nodded vigorously and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed a thick, heavy book on the desk. It was closed, and the title was neatly written on the cover: "The Complete Knowledge of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts".

Chen Luo noticed Tang San's subtle glance and immediately stuffed the book into Tang San's arms as well: "Take it with you, it's a summary of my life's experience."

They've already given away the Marrow Cleansing Pill, so what's a book compared to that?

Tang San looked at Chen Luo with immense gratitude before leaving.

Chen Luo sighed and prepared to check the new tasks, but then he suddenly received a system notification—

[You gifted "The Complete Knowledge of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts" to Tang San... successfully triggering a 10,000x reward for mentoring, and obtained "The Book of Divine Dragon Inheritance"!]

Chapter 3 Martial Soul Upgrade, Golden Luo Three Cannons!

Inside the room, Chen Luo's hand holding the teacup trembled uncontrollably, spilling tea all over the floor. When he brought it to his lips, he didn't even get a sip.

Trying to calm himself down, Chen Luo put the teacup aside, and then with a thought, the "Book of Divine Dragon Inheritance," the reward he had just received for the mission, appeared in his hand.

It was a small, palm-sized golden book, emanating a sacred golden aura, with a corresponding information box beside it—

【The Book of Divine Dragon Inheritance】: A divine-level cultivation technique that comes with the soul of a divine dragon and can help evolve your martial soul.

【use or not? 】

Chen Luo swallowed hard, his eyes reflecting a golden light, and he became even more excited.

"use!"

The golden book transformed into a beam of golden light and entered Chen Luo's body. Chen Luo immediately felt a powerful force spread throughout his limbs and bones, and his entire being, including his soul, seemed to be elevated.

Chen Luo slowly closed his eyes, completely immersed in this incredibly comfortable process.

Golden light emanated from Chen Luo's body, and black substances continuously seeped from his skin. He unconsciously activated his martial soul, causing his soul power to fluctuate violently. A strange creature appeared in front of Chen Luo.

It looks like a dog, but its size is more like a pig.
