That was close!
This child is so meticulous, or perhaps, he did it on purpose.
Yu Xiaogang didn't understand, nor did he want to.
What Yu Xiaogang wanted most right now was to take Zhou Sidong as his disciple, using this child with the Soul Devouring Demon Spider as a whetstone for Tang San, and then step by step verify the theories he had researched for decades.
Constantly improving and revising, Yu Xiaogang planned to use Tang San as the main focus, shaping him into a true powerhouse!
Therefore, he was prepared to have Zhou Sidong take the risk.
But for some reason, especially after Yu Xiaogang learned that Zhou Sidong possessed the Soul Devouring Demon Spider Martial Soul, a person unexpectedly surfaced in his mind, a person he both deeply missed and hated.
Looking back at Yu Xiaogang, he suddenly realized.
The child in front of him actually resembled her, especially those clear, water-like eyes, which were exactly the same as when he first met her.
Things have changed, though.
That woman had cruelly abandoned him, leading to him being scorned by the Hall of Martial Souls. She bore a great deal of responsibility for the path he'd taken.
"Child, have you made your decision?" Yu Xiaogang asked again, his tone a bit urgent.
His words implied that Zhou Sidong should quickly make his choice.
Meanwhile, Tang San was also keeping a close eye on Zhou Sidong.
Zhou Sidong shook his head and said, "Esteemed Master, your theory is very tempting, but I already have a teacher."
"What!" Yu Xiaogang was greatly shocked.
In the Douluo Continent, a Soul Master could only have one teacher in their lifetime.
And he'd been played by a child, wasting his precious time.
"You… why didn't you say anything sooner!" Yu Xiaogang's chest heaved with anger.
"You immediately wanted me to become your disciple, which really caught me off guard. I just wanted to ask you where the teaching office is," Zhou Sidong said with an apologetic smile.
"Follow me," Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly. His plans had fallen through, and he was not happy!
"Hello, my name is Zhou Sidong, what's your name?" Zhou Sidong took the initiative to greet Tang San.
"I'm Tang San, from Holy Soul Village," Tang San said, then fell silent.
Tang San wasn't as tall as Zhou Sidong; he was a head shorter. His appearance was unremarkable, perhaps a common trait for protagonists.
Following Yu Xiaogang to the teaching office, Yu Xiaogang chatted with his disciple Tang San for a bit before hurrying off. He glanced at Zhou Sidong, intentionally or not. Zhou Sidong could sense that the old man was harboring resentment.
Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Well, he's still holding a grudge. He was the one who wanted to take me as a disciple in the first place, to use me as his experiment. Now that he's been played, he can't save face. What a petty person. Zhou Sidong secretly complained.
"Oh? So, you're Master Zhou's son, Zhou Sidong? The principal already told us about you."
The teacher from the teaching office, who had taken Zhou Sidong's Soul Master Handbook, smiled.
"Master Zhou?" Tang San was stunned, then looked at Zhou Sidong with a curious gaze. His father was a master too?
Compared to his own teacher, who was stronger?
"Yes, Master Zhou is one of the best blacksmiths in Notting City. Our academy's gate was personally forged by him, and it's said that Master Zhou's forging skills are only second to the Godly Craftsman." The teacher from the teaching office smiled.
"Only second to the Godly Craftsman!" Tang San widened his eyes and suddenly looked at Zhou Sidong standing beside him. He didn't expect him to have such a background. No wonder someone was teaching him.
"You came to register together, right? Let me take a look." The teacher took Tang San's Soul Master Handbook and immediately looked at it with disbelief.
"Is something wrong?" Tang San asked.
"Are you kidding me? A child with Innate Full Soul Power is actually coming to study at our Notting Elementary Soul Master Academy. That's truly rare." The shouts of the teacher in the teaching office immediately attracted the attention of several other teachers.
They all gathered around, and when they saw that Tang San's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, they all sighed.
"What a pity. The martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. It's a useless martial soul." One of the teachers shook his hand, feeling sorry for Tang San.
"Teacher, is it really impossible to cultivate Blue Silver Grass?" Tang San asked, still not giving up.
Although he had Twin Martial Souls, he didn't intend to abandon the Blue Silver Grass.
Moreover, according to what his father had told him before he left, he was not to reveal the Hammer Martial Soul unless absolutely necessary, and he was not allowed to add soul rings to it.
Therefore, cultivating Blue Silver Grass was an urgent matter.
"It's not that it can't be cultivated, but the progress is slow. The limitations of Blue Silver Grass are simply too small. It's incomparable to other martial souls."
One of the teachers shook his head, then added, "Like Zhou Sidong's Soul Devouring Demon Spider martial soul, that kind is far stronger than Blue Silver Grass. The Soul Devouring Demon Spider is particularly overbearing among demon spider martial souls, and its rarity is comparable to the Man Faced Demon Spider."
Tang San's expression stiffened, and he glanced at Zhou Sidong, his gaze complex.
Zhou Sidong suddenly said, "Blue Silver Grass is not a useless martial soul."
"Oh?" Tang San's eyes lit up at his words: "I'd like to hear more."
"My dad told me that every martial soul that exists in this world has its value. Take the Blue Silver Grass we see everywhere, for example. Many people awaken with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul every year, and those who, like Tang San, possess Innate Full Soul Power are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Moreover, Tang San, you can think about it. The inheritance of martial souls comes from one's parents, such as if the parents are very strong and their martial souls are of the same quality, then the children born from their union, after awakening their martial souls, often have high innate soul power, and even... some children can inherit the legendary Twin Martial Souls. As for the children of poor families, the reason they don't have soul power has a lot to do with their parents. Of course, there are also special cases where mutated martial souls arise, some for the better, some for the worse, in short, a thousand oddities, and no one can say for sure."
After listening to Zhou Sidong's explanation, Tang San raised his left hand, somewhat bewildered.
He had inherited Twin Martial Souls... In that case, his Blue Silver Grass was not so simple.
Tang San bowed slightly to Zhou Sidong and said, "I've learned a lot."
Then, Tang San left first.
Watching Tang San go, the teachers present couldn't help but give Zhou Sidong a thumbs up. "Truly worthy of being Master Zhou's son, so knowledgeable."
"Thank you, thank you." Zhou Sidong smiled awkwardly, but in his heart, he was cursing them.
These guys, they didn't know that Tang San was fixated on the Blue Silver Grass, and they were aiming their questions at him. They were just trying to get close to him. Who asked his father to be a famous figure in Notting City? They even put him on the spot.
Daring not to stay any longer, Zhou Sidong quickly left.
"I heard that Tang San was taken as a disciple by the master."
"Really? The master has been in our academy for so many years, and he actually took a disciple."
"Didn't you hear what that Tang San said just now? He called the Master his teacher."
"An innate full soul power, but only with the useless Blue Silver Grass, and then a good-for-nothing who'll never get past level twenty-nine. A perfect match!"
"Watch your words!" One of the teachers nudged the other, saying.
Not far from the teaching area, Tang San hadn't left. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
