Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

Sure enough, a middle-aged man wearing a gray long gown, with a stiff face, meticulously combed hair, and eyes that held a hint of decadence and feigned profundity, was walking slowly towards them.

This is precisely the "theoretical master" Yu Xiaogang.

Upon seeing who it was, the gatekeeper's angry expression instantly turned into one of obsequiousness, and he hurriedly bowed and scraped as he went to greet them.

"Master, you've arrived! It's nothing serious, just a few country folk trying to cause trouble. I'll chase them away right away!"

Yu Xiaogang seemed not to have heard the doorman's words. His gaze went straight past him and landed on Old Jack. He forced a smile that he thought was kind but was actually stiff: "Sir, may I see your Martial Soul Certificate?"

The reason he appeared was because he had clearly heard Old Jack's anxious explanation from not far away.

"We really came here to study! This child has innate full soul power!"

Innate full soul power!

These five words exploded in Yu Xiaogang's ears like a thunderclap.

Who is Yu Xiaogang?

Born into the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, he was unable to break through level 30 for the rest of his life due to a malignant mutation in his martial soul, and suffered endless scorn from others and inner torment as a theoretical master.

Knowing that he could not break through his soul power, he devoted all his energy to the research of soul master theory, eager to prove himself, eager to gain the recognition of the world, eager to... be remembered in history!

What does it mean to have innate full soul power?

This means that as long as he doesn't die young, he will definitely become a Title Douluo in the future! Isn't this the perfect vehicle to verify his theories?

It is the perfect stepping stone for him to shed his reputation as a useless person and join the ranks of the top theoretical masters in the mainland!

How could he miss it?

He must seize this opportunity!

Therefore, he chose the most opportune moment to appear and played the role of a learned elder who could help them out of their predicament.

Although Old Jack felt that this person had a strange demeanor, he still quickly handed over the two Martial Soul certificates.

"Master, please look! These are the two children, both from our village, and both possess innate full soul power!"

Yu Xiaogang took the certificate and quickly scanned it.

When he saw "Tang San, spirit Blue Silver Grass, innate spirit power level 10" and "Tang Xiandi, spirit Crystal Dancing Shoes, innate spirit power level 10", his pupils instantly dilated and contracted, and even his breathing became rapid!

Blue Silver Grass? Innate full soul power? This completely overturned his understanding of useless martial souls!

And these crystal dancing shoes? I've never heard of a weapon spirit before, and they also have innate full soul power!

Double the surprise! Double the experimental materials!

No! It's double the chance!

An uncontrollable surge of fervor instantly welled up in Yu Xiaogang's heart, and his gaze suddenly shot towards Tang San and Cinderella.

His eyes were like those of a hungry wolf eyeing a delicious lamb, filled with naked possessiveness and desire.

Yu Xiaogang seemed to already see himself taking these two geniuses under his wing, imparting all his knowledge to them, and nurturing them into powerful figures who would astound the entire Douluo Continent. Then, his name, Yu Xiaogang, would resound throughout the Douluo Continent along with the glory of his disciples.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Yu Xiaogang said "good" three times in a row, his voice trembling slightly. The muscles on his face twitched with excitement.

Despite Yu Xiaogang's attempts to remain calm, he only appeared more eccentric.

"Truly a genius seen only once in a century! The Blue Silver Grass being born with full soul power is nothing short of a miracle! And this Crystal Dancing Shoes Martial Soul is even more extraordinary!"

Tang San, who was standing to the side, had been watching Yu Xiaogang warily ever since he appeared.

Tang San realized he had overlooked Yu Xiaogang's fervor towards him. In Tang San's view, Yu Xiaogang had been staring intently at Cinderella since he appeared, and his eyes held an undisguised fervor for Cinderella.

Tang San's heart sank instantly, and his eyes grew even colder.

Another bastard who's after his sister!

The thought instantly popped into his mind.

In Holy Soul Village, which of those wild boys who tried to attract their older sister's attention by pulling her braids or throwing mud at her hadn't been secretly dealt with by him?

This seemingly respectable master has eyes that are far more hateful and dangerous than those children's!

Despite the huge difference in strength, Tang San had already added Yu Xiaogang to his blacklist, someone he needed to be highly vigilant against and someone he would find an opportunity to teach a lesson to.

Of course, the doorman is also on this list.

Tang San subtly turned his body to the side, silently shielding Cinderella even more firmly behind him.

Yu Xiaogang was completely absorbed in the excitement of discovering a genius, and he didn't notice Tang San's little actions at all.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated emotions, and then, adopting the air of a master, said to old Jack, "Sir, leave this matter to me. These two children are exceptionally talented and cannot be allowed to lag behind. The doorman was rude; I apologize on behalf of the academy."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang actually bowed slightly to Old Jack in a very respectable manner.

This immediately flattered old Jack, who waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "You flatter me, Master, you're too kind!"

Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction, his gaze once again turning eagerly to Tang San and Cinderella, especially Cinderella. Her stunning beauty made his heart skip a beat, and his tone involuntarily softened.

"Children, come with me. I'll take you to complete the enrollment procedures. There must be a very profound reason behind your martial souls, especially the Blue Silver Grass's ability to have full innate soul power. I'm very interested in that, and perhaps we can discuss it further."

Yu Xiaogang was eager to demonstrate his profound knowledge and impress these two geniuses.

As for whether it would be successful, Yu Xiaogang was not worried about that at all. He believed that with his rich theoretical knowledge and insights, it would be a piece of cake to win over the children from these two small places.

Chapter 48 Yu Xiaogang, the Tool

Cinderella hid behind Tang San, her azure eyes gleaming slightly as she took in all of Yu Xiaogang's actions.

A subtle, unnoticed smile curved her lips.

"A tool...isn't this just someone who's delivered themselves to our doorstep?"

Cinderella chuckled inwardly, "Master? Perfect. The knowledge and theoretical guidance on spirit rings and spirit beasts that Xiao San and I lack will depend on your selfless dedication."

In Cinderella's opinion, she was unsure whether Yu Xiaogang had talent, but she was certain that he had a large collection of books, since someone with the title of master must need a large number of books to maintain his image.

Cinderella gently tugged at Tang San's sleeve, signaling him to calm down.

Then, she peeked out from behind Tang San and gave Yu Xiaogang a pure, flawless smile that was tinged with shyness and dependence.

"Really? Master, you're amazing! I'll have to trouble you to guide my brother and me from now on."

That smile, like sunlight piercing through dark clouds, instantly struck Yu Xiaogang's heart, which yearned to be admired.

He immediately felt refreshed, and even Tang San, who had been staring at him, seemed much more agreeable to him.

"Sure, sure! Come with me!"

Yu Xiaogang waved his hand with great enthusiasm, as if he had become the mentor of the two future powerhouses, and led the way into the academy.

Old Jack watched this scene with satisfaction, feeling that he had met a benefactor.

Tang San remained tense, cautiously following behind Yu Xiaogang, constantly on guard against the seemingly sanctimonious master ahead.

Cinderella walked at the back, watching Yu Xiaogang's back, then glancing at the nervous Tang San beside her. A hint of composure, as if she had everything under control, flashed deep in her azure eyes.

……

Yu Xiaogang walked ahead of Tang San and Cinderella with a smug look on his face, leading the way for them.

He also deliberately slowed his pace so that the two newly discovered geniuses behind him could keep up with him.

In addition, it was also so that he could enjoy Cinderella's admiring gaze for a little longer.

Since leaving Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, he has not enjoyed the admiring gaze of others for a long time.

Cinderella's clear, innocent blue eyes and soft voice said, "Master, you know so much! This is the first time I've ever heard of the theory of spirit ring limits that you just mentioned! You must have read a lot of books, right? Do you have a big study filled with all sorts of spirit master books?"

As Cinderella spoke, she made a large gesture with her hands, her expression innocent and hopeful.

This precise flattery made Yu Xiaogang feel extremely comfortable, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.

He coughed reservedly, slightly raising his chin, trying to make his tone sound calm, but it still revealed an undisguised smugness.

"Hehe, it's not a lot, but over the years I've devoted myself to research and have indeed collected some rare and precious books and manuscripts on the continent. I've especially dabbled in things like martial soul mutation, soul beast atlases, and the principles of soul ring pairing. My study may not be big, but the collection of books inside is probably comparable to the ordinary library of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Yu Xiaogang deliberately downplayed the importance of his book collection, but Yongci emphasized its value in every word.

Cinderella immediately understood, and a barely perceptible glint flashed in the depths of her azure eyes.

They actually have it! And it sounds like it's high quality!

This is exactly what she urgently needs right now: systematic and comprehensive theoretical knowledge of Soul Masters, especially regarding Soul Ring selection and Soul Beast identification.

Tang Hao is unreliable, and the basic education at the academy is too slow. Although Yu Xiaogang's title as a theoretical master is largely undeserved, the books he has collected over half his life are the real treasure.

Wow! Master, you are really amazing!

Cinderella exclaimed in amazement again, clutching her heart with her hands, her eyes practically sparkling. "If only I could have the chance to admire your precious collection of books someday! Even just a glance would be incredibly enlightening!"

Yu Xiaogang was completely overwhelmed by Cinderella's sweet talk and replied almost without thinking, "Of course there will be opportunities! Once you've settled in, you can come to my place anytime..."

As soon as he said it, he realized he had been too hasty. He quickly stopped himself, changed the subject, and continued to show off his knowledge, trying to further solidify his image as a learned man.

He launched into a long and detailed analysis of the various possibilities surrounding Tang San's Blue Silver Grass with its innate full soul power, from hidden mutations in his martial soul to the inheritance of special bloodlines, speaking with great enthusiasm and eloquence.

Finally, he paused abruptly, his gaze fixed intently on Tang San, and said with absolute certainty, "Therefore, there is only one truth! Tang San, you don't only have one martial soul; you have another martial soul, and it is by no means ordinary, but must be extremely powerful! Otherwise, there is absolutely no way you could support the innate full soul power of the useless martial soul Blue Silver Grass! You are a one-in-a-million twin martial soul!"

He then looked at Cinderella, feigning profundity as he pondered, "As for your Crystal Shoes Martial Soul, Cindy, I have searched through countless books and have never seen a completely identical record. However, judging from its crystal-clear shape and the unique fluctuations in its soul power, it is very likely a benign mutation of some kind of spiritual or support-type Martial Soul, with enormous potential!"

Cinderella was practically rolling her eyes to the back of her head.

A useless martial soul, Blue Silver Grass? This is clearly the extremely powerful Blue Silver Emperor!

Benign mutation? This is a genuine fairy tale prop martial spirit!

On the surface, Cinderella cooperated by showing an expression of extreme shock and admiration, covering her mouth with her small hands and widening her eyes.

"My God! Master! You could even see that!"

The moment Yu Xiaogang pointed out his twin martial souls, Tang San's muscles tensed up instantly.

How could he know?

The first general outline of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu sounded an alarm in Tang San's mind!

This seemingly颓废 and ordinary man saw through his secret at a glance!

Danger! Extreme danger! Must be eliminated!
