douluo dalu: my martial soul is ah yin

On the carriage.

Tang San raised a question.

"Teacher, why did you make such a promise yesterday?"

Tang San was referring to the bet he and Su Yun had during their challenge, and the added stakes that Yu Xiaogang proposed.

It wasn't just about the teacher publicly apologizing.

The teacher even voluntarily declared that he would no longer deserve the title of Grandmaster!

This was clearly an unfair bet! Yu Xiaogang, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, seemed to have anticipated that his student would ask this question.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to hold back from asking me."

Yu Xiaogang slowly opened his eyes and raised two fingers, saying, "There are actually two reasons."

"The first reason is that I wanted to stimulate your fighting spirit."

"In the coming year, you will inevitably spar with some classmates."

"But the results of these sparring matches are harmless."

"It's just that children of your age may feel a bit embarrassed if they lose."

"It's trivial."

"I've already seen in the short time we spent together yesterday that you are a child who values emotions."

"The phrase 'One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father' is deeply engraved in your heart."

"I've always kept it in mind as your teacher."

With a certain look in his eyes, Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and said, "That's why I deliberately increased the stakes on our side."

"The purpose is to use the emotion in your heart to force you to exert more effort in the training of the next year."

"For this, I apologize, my student."

Saying that, Yu Xiaogang even slightly bowed to Tang San.

"Teacher!"

Seeing this, Tang San quickly helped Yu Xiaogang up.

The concept of "One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father" was deeply engraved in Tang San's heart.

As Yu Xiaogang bowed to Tang San.

In Tang San's eyes, this was almost equivalent to a father bowing to his child.

How could Tang San easily allow Yu Xiaogang to do this?

He quickly knelt inside the carriage.

"Tang San is foolish. If I had known that Teacher's actions were for my sake, I wouldn't have asked such a stupid question."

"Disciple swears to defeat Su Yun in the competition one year from now!"

Tang San's tone was extremely solemn.

In his previous life, although he was taken into the Tang Clan by Grandmaster, no elder was willing to accept him as their disciple.

Now, he had become the only disciple under the seat of the teacher.

Naturally, he couldn't lose face for his teacher.

"Hahaha, you, this child, understand my intention. Why kneel so easily?"

Yu Xiaogang laughed and helped Tang San up, saying, "As I said before, that was just the first reason."

"In fact, the second reason is that I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart."

"Hope?"

Tang San looked at his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, who usually seemed to carry a bit of sorrow.

He was puzzled.

"Don't forget, Su Yun, like you, has twin martial souls."

Yu Xiaogang whispered:

"Although he has a mischievous personality, in fact, I really don't want to let such a talented person be wasted by other mediocre teachers."

Tang San raised another question:

"But teacher, didn't Su Yun say that he already has a teacher?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang shook his head with a light smile, saying:

"Little San, you're still too young."

"Do you really think that the teacher he mentioned."

"Does such a person really exist?"

After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, a lightning bolt flashed through Tang San's mind, and his pupils suddenly shrank:

"Teacher, are you saying..."

"Yes."

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, saying, "In my opinion, that's just the child venting his emotions."

"I remember that he and you come from the same village, a village called Holy Soul Village."

Chapter 19: Conversation Between Master and Disciple

In your impression, are there any powerful soul masters in the village?

Tang San shook his head, "No."

"That's right."

Yu Xiaogang felt that his speculation had been validated and smiled, saying, "In my opinion, that kid just made up a so-called teacher to prove his talent."

"In reality, such a person doesn't exist at all."

"Perhaps now, relying on his so-called talent, he can still compete with you a bit."

"But after my guidance and your diligent practice over the next year."

"In the competition one year from now, he will be crushed by you, and he will naturally realize that relying solely on his talent is not enough to unleash the true power of his martial soul."

"Only then will he realize how precious a teacher like me is."

So that's it!

After hearing the two reasons from his teacher, Tang San couldn't help but admire his teacher's greatness and heartfelt care.

His teacher wasn't just doing this for him but also for someone who hadn't become his disciple yet.

He had indeed not chosen the wrong teacher.

"By the way, teacher, last night, I also noticed something unusual about Su Yun."

Suddenly, the scenes of Su Yun's cultivation and anomalies in the dormitory last night flashed in Tang San's mind, and he immediately spoke up.

"Oh? What happened?"

Yu Xiaogang, now interested, asked.

Soon after, Tang San told his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, about his feelings and speculations from last night.

However, he concealed the part about the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

After listening, Yu Xiaogang nodded.

"Well... Little San, your speculation matches mine."

"Both your first martial soul and Su Yun's are Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power."

"In theory, there shouldn't be much difference in the speed of soul power circulation."

"But last night, you could feel a significant difference in the speed."

"This indicates that the problem is likely to be with Su Yun's second martial soul."

"However, your second martial soul is..."

Yu Xiaogang was about to say 'Clear Sky Hammer,' but he held it back.

After all, Tang San knew nothing about Clear Sky Hammer at the moment, and since his parents didn't inform him, he couldn't cross that line.

However, Yu Xiaogang was well aware of the power of the Clear Sky Hammer.

Clear Sky Hammer, the number one martial soul in the world!

In terms of martial soul quality, who could surpass it?

Yet, it could suppress Tang San in terms of training speed.

Could it be that Su Yun's second martial soul was a top-notch auxiliary-type martial soul?

Yu Xiaogang speculated, but he was also puzzled.

In his mind, various top-notch auxiliary-type martial souls flashed, but he had no information about their knowledge of soul power cultivation.

"Or perhaps, Su Yun has awakened a completely new martial soul?!"

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.

Suddenly, he became excited.

If Su Yun really successfully awakened a completely new martial soul, and he became Su Yun's teacher.

Then he would become the first person in the current Douluo Continent to discover a new martial soul!

This was a unique honor!

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest.

The two got off the carriage.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, then turned to the Soul Hunting Forest in front of him and said seriously:

"Little San, for the next year, I will wholeheartedly cultivate you. You must win in the competition one year from now."

Tang San, seeing his teacher suddenly becoming serious, couldn't help recalling the scene of Su Yun and Xiao Wu sleeping in the blanket his teacher gave him last night.

A strange sense of humiliation suddenly appeared in his heart.

Then, a strong fighting spirit rose within him.

Tang San clenched his fists, nodding heavily.

"Yes, Teacher!"
