Chapter 116: Tang San: A Perfect Ending—Is This the Blessing of Rebirth?
"Xiao Wu, step outside for a moment. I need to talk to Tang San alone."
Yu Xiaogang asked Xiao Wu to leave the room. Though she and Tang San clearly had a close relationship, a twin martial soul innate full soul power genius had to be kept secret. Unless someone was completely trustworthy, the noble clans would never allow a commoner genius to rise unchallenged.
Once outside, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up again. "Child, are you truly willing to accept me as your teacher? You must know… the title 'teacher' within the academy is different from what I represent. This will be for life."
"I'm willing. I came to Nuoding Academy to become your student."
Tang San's sincere words moved Yu Xiaogang deeply.
"Then I must also take this seriously. I'll ask one last time—do you really want me to be your master? In the Douluo Continent, you can only have one teacher. For your entire life, I will be your only one."
Tang San nodded, then dropped to his knees and respectfully kowtowed three times.
Yu Xiaogang froze. "What are you doing?"
"One day as master, a lifetime as father. You deserve my deepest respect."
Even in this second life, the Tang Sect's customs remained etched into his soul.
Yu Xiaogang was deeply moved. "One day as master… for life. Good, good. It seems I didn't choose wrong after all."
"Are you here for Grandmaster too?"
Outside, Xiao Wu's voice rang out. A teacher and a young man had arrived—the guard from earlier, who had brought backup to avenge himself.
"Xiao Wu, this teacher is here to discipline a rule-breaking brat. Please step aside."
But Xiao Wu was the dorm boss—Nuoding Academy's once-in-a-millennium prodigy. Everyone gave her three parts courtesy, even the principal.
"What's all this noise?"
Tang San peeked out and saw the guard. His eyes narrowed, then he explained the situation to Yu Xiaogang.
"Little San, let's go complete your enrollment."
Yu Xiaogang paid the guard no mind. Holding Tang San's hand, he resolved the matter in three words—leaving the guard trembling in fear. Then they went to the administration office. Xiao Wu, of course, tagged along.
Thanks to Yu Xiaogang's reputation and Tang San's innate full soul power, the registration was done quickly—even if he had a "trash" martial soul like Blue Silver Grass.
Hearing that Tang San was Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Director Su gave Tang San a strange look.
"Your info's been registered. Since you're not a working student, tuition is eight gold soul coins per year. But your housing will be much better."
Tang San nodded. He had brought plenty of gold soul coins from the Clear Sky Sect.
Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly. "Director Su, isn't the annual fee five coins?"
"Oh, Grandmaster, the triple rooms are full. I had to give Tang San a double—but he'll have it to himself."
"Perfect! Then I can live with my brother!"
Xiao Wu was thrilled. They were husband and wife—living together was only natural!
The room fell quiet at her bold declaration.
Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat. "Fine. I'll cover the extra cost."
"No need, teacher. I can afford it."
Tang San revealed his storage soul tool and pulled out eight gold coins.
The admin staff gasped. "A storage soul tool!"
Yu Xiaogang's heart sank. That wasn't something commoners possessed. He'd need to ask about Tang San's background later.
In their dorm room…
Xiao Wu flopped onto the bed. "This is way more comfy than Dorm Seven—and it's quieter."
"Can we sleep together like we used to? There's plenty of room."
Tang San's expression turned awkward. "Sleep together? Xiao Wu, even though we're reborn, we're still just six years old…"
Xiao Wu bounced over, tapped his chest playfully, and smiled. "Afraid I'll do something? Scared I'll pounce on you?"
Tang San blushed, despite having lived three lives. This girl really was a mischievous little rascal—just as Ning Rongrong had described.
Then she smirked. "Even if I wanted to, you couldn't do anything yet."
Tang San gently patted her head. "You little rascal. Even in this life, don't be such a flirt."
"I'm just reminiscing!"
Now that he'd found Xiao Wu, become Yu Xiaogang's student, and poured out his feelings, Tang San's tone turned serious. Activating Purple Demon Eye, he lowered his voice.
"Xiao Wu, we're not the only ones who were reborn."
He told her about Ning Rongrong and his suspicion that Qian Xunji had also reincarnated.
The mention of Qian Xunji brought tears to Xiao Wu's eyes. "San-ge… Da Ming…"
"What happened to Da Ming?"
Xiao Wu threw herself into his arms. "Qian Xunji brought Lion Douluo and Lightfeather Douluo to chase us. Da Ming… sacrificed himself to protect me, Mom, and Er Ming…"
"That bastard! Spirit Hall!"
Tang San clenched his fists, then rubbed her head. "Don't worry. Once I become a god again, I'll destroy that evil Spirit Hall and bring Da Ming back."
Xiao Wu nodded firmly. She believed in him.
"San-ge… my mom… she sacrificed herself to your father."
"What?"
He froze. Wasn't Xiao Wu's mom killed by Bibi Dong?
She explained everything—how it was more a negotiation than a threat, and omitted Clear Sky's mass slaughter in the forest.
"Xiao Wu, in the last life, I couldn't revive your mother. But this time, I can. Her soul ring is with my father. Once I ascend, I'll bring her back. Don't blame him, okay?"
"I won't. I trust you."
Tang San smiled. "I just realized something."
"What is it?"
"By Bibi Dong's talent, she should've reached Title Douluo by now, gone to get her 100,000-year ring. But she didn't."
"So?"
"That means Qian Xunji must've killed her already. He has no idea what happened afterward—he doesn't know Bibi Dong could've become a god. Spirit Hall only has Qian Renxue left with god potential."
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "Then doesn't that mean—"
Tang San nodded confidently. "This time, Spirit Hall is just a dying husk. We'll destroy it more easily."
He was already planning everything—reviving the Tang Sect, rescuing his ancestor, punishing Clear Sky's traitors, ascending again, killing Qian Renxue, crushing Spirit Hall, reviving Da Ming, Xiao Wu's mother, and restoring Ah Yin's memories.
This life would be perfect. No regrets.
This was the blessing of rebirth. A perfect ending!
