Having witnessed Yu Xiaogang's true colors of "getting rid of the old and embracing the new," Zhou Sidong's disgust towards Yu Xiaogang intensified.
"See? This Yu Xiaogang calls himself a master, but the knowledge he possesses is common knowledge for most soul masters on the continent. He can only fool beginners like Tang San."
Xiao Xue emerged from Zhou Sidong's brow, disgusted by Yu Xiaogang's actions.
He started by begging Zhou Sidong to be his disciple, and then, in the blink of an eye, he went to cozy up to Tang San, a child with Innate Full Soul Power and a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
"I heard from my father before that Yu Xiaogang doesn't have a good reputation in the Martial Soul Hall. He also had a past with the current Pope, who is also my mother. This caused the disciples of the Martial Soul Hall at the time to want to tear him apart. I think Yu Xiaogang is just using Tang San as his experimental subject to validate his so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, and when Tang San becomes a Title Douluo, Yu Xiaogang will announce it publicly.
'Look, this is my disciple, a Twin Martial Souls, a disciple I, Yu Xiaogang, taught!'"
By then, Yu Xiaogang would naturally become a master, and with Tang San, a Title Douluo with Twin Martial Souls, as his disciple, he would attract attention wherever he went.
"Dongdong, let's go take a look. Don't you want to see Yu Xiaogang take on a disciple? It's quite the spectacle," Xiao Xue suggested.
"Can you stop calling me that? It's so cringey," Zhou Sidong said, a shiver running down his spine.
"I like it," Xiao Xue winked, smiling. "You now have two chances to travel through Parallel Time-Space. Have you decided when you'll use them?"
"Parallel Time-Space?" Zhou Sidong asked. "I've heard you mention it before. What's it like?"
Xiao Xue explained, "Parallel Time-Space is essentially the Douluo Continent on the other side, the opposite of yours. Imagine your location as a mirror; the Douluo Continent in Parallel Time-Space is the world within the mirror.
And the most important thing to note is that the time in the Parallel Time-Space Douluo Continent aligns with the time in your Douluo Continent."
"So, according to you, you're the will of the Parallel Time-Space Douluo Continent. Because the Douluo Continent there fell into unprecedented chaos, you reversed time, pulling the Douluo Continent back to the era of the Martial Soul Hall, with the aim of altering and correcting history," Zhou Sidong said.
"That's right!" Xiao Xue smiled, then her expression turned a little dejected. "It's just a pity I brought you to the wrong place, ending up in this Douluo Continent's time-space. You now have two chances to travel through Parallel Time-Space. Although you can only stay there for two hours each time, there's still a lot you can do. I can take you anywhere you want to go!"
"Let's keep it for now," Zhou Sidong thought, then said.
\n\n
After that, Zhou Sidong went to the front of the teaching building where Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were.
He saw Tang San kneeling, bowing repeatedly to Yu Xiaogang. It seemed Yu Xiaogang had successfully convinced Tang San to become his disciple.
"Good! Good! Good!"
With three consecutive "goods," Yu Xiaogang's mood was incredibly excited.
He had stayed in Notting City for over a decade, essentially doing nothing for all that time, and the heavens had finally favored him. He'd encountered a rare Twin Martial Souls, and it even had Innate Full Soul Power!
His chance to turn things around had arrived!
"Get up quickly, my child. Only parents and rulers should be knelt before. A bow is sufficient," Yu Xiaogang said with satisfaction, helping Tang San to his feet.
Then, he led Tang San towards the teaching area.
On the way, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San met Zhou Sidong. Zhou Sidong had previously invited a child to become his disciple, a child who had innate soul power of level eight.
Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment, his eyes rolling in their sockets.
Now that I've taken Xiao San as a disciple, why not take another? I can use this child to test the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, which I've been researching for years. If it works, I'll have Xiao San try it too. If not, I can cut my losses. Yu Xiaogang nodded, thinking it was feasible.
Then, his stiff face forced a few ugly smiles.
"Child, did you come specifically to seek me as your master?" Yu Xiaogang said with a laugh, which looked like a chrysanthemum in bloom.
Tang San, standing beside Yu Xiaogang, looked at Zhou Sidong with surprise. He had been accepted as a disciple because of his Twin Martial Souls.
What was so special about this child with purple hair, who was about the same age as him, that his teacher would personally extend an invitation? Could he also have Twin Martial Souls?
"..."
Zhou Sidong wanted to laugh. What was wrong with this Yu Xiaogang? He actually wanted to take him as a disciple. Wasn't he satisfied with Tang San already?
Suddenly, Xiao Xue's voice rang in Zhou Sidong's mind.
"Be careful! The reason Yu Xiaogang wants to take you as a disciple is actually to use you as a stepping stone for Tang San. He plans to use you for experiments first, so he can validate his so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul and then formulate training measures for Tang San."
"Damn it!"
Zhou Sidong cursed Yu Xiaogang's ancestors eighteen generations deep in his heart. Yu Xiaogang planned to ruin him first, then use his disciple with Twin Martial Souls as a test subject. How could anyone endure that?
Although he was thinking this, he couldn't show it.
Suppressing the rage in his heart, Zhou Sidong asked with a puzzled expression, "Then, Master, what can you teach me?"
"Teach you what?" Yu Xiaogang smiled confidently. "I can teach you many things, such as how to identify the age and type of Soul Beasts, as well as knowledge related to Martial Souls. Anything I know, I can teach you."
Yu Xiaogang secretly smiled, thinking, This should work, right?
However, Zhou Sidong said, "Master? Oh! I've heard my father mention you!"
"Really?" Yu Xiaogang straightened his back and asked with a smile, "How did your father evaluate me?"
"My father only said that you stayed at Notting Academy for more than a decade, always remaining obscure. He's also heard of your research on the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, and he said you are like gold in the dung, destined to shine one day." Zhou Sidong smiled innocently.
"..."
Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched uncontrollably. What kind of analogy was that from his father?
Tang San frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. Although the analogy was a bit sarcastic, it was perfectly suited to the current teacher.
Kids, out of the mouths of babes.
Tang San didn't think much of the child in front of him, who was about to become his junior. Like the other children in the village, he was just a child.
"Master, my father also said…"
Zhou Sidong said a lot of good things, which made Yu Xiaogang feel a bit smug. A smile appeared on his face, and he kept nodding in agreement.
"That's right, the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul were proposed by me!" Yu Xiaogang patted his chest. This was what he had researched his entire life, and he wouldn't allow anyone to question him.
"Then…"
Zhou Sidong smiled slightly, "Haven't you produced any results from your research on the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul? Or, has no one put them into practice yet?"
"Yes, of course. You're here, aren't you?" Yu Xiaogang said with a smile.
Soon, Yu Xiaogang realized something was off. He quickly suppressed his smile.
