Chapter 138 One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father
Chapter 138 A teacher for a day is a father for life
After he finished speaking...
Yu Xiaogang then put his hands behind his back, raised his head, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his eyes piercing, displaying the demeanor of a master, and walked out with a swagger.
The gatekeeper was startled when he heard the noise.
The one who spoke up was none other than Yu Xiaogang, the useless master whom everyone at Notting Academy disliked.
The gatekeeper secretly curled his lip in disdain, showing no respect that an ordinary person should have for a Soul Master. Instead, he said in an extremely cold tone:
"Master, so it's you."
Yu Xiaogang held his head high, arrogantly ignoring the gatekeeper, and walked forward on his own. He bent down to pick up the Soul Master certificate from the ground and glanced at it.
Having confirmed his suspicions, he was overjoyed.
To maintain his composure, Yu Xiaogang tried hard to suppress his joy, forcing a warm and gentle smile onto his face.
However, this smile was extremely ugly in the eyes of the gatekeeper, making him feel a chill and he quickly took several steps back, staying away from the useless master.
Unaware of what was happening, Yu Xiaogang glanced back and forth between Old Jack and Tang San a few times before finally fixing his gaze on Tang San, his eyes holding a meaningful look.
Tang San suddenly felt as if he had been seen through, and his left wrist unconsciously rose a few more inches, aiming at Yu Xiaogang's crotch.
If we raise it a little higher, we can aim it at Yu Xiaogang's chest and abdomen.
Yu Xiaogang, completely unaware that he had been targeted by a hidden arrow, grinned and turned to look at Old Jack, saying:
"The Soul Master's certificate is correct; it's indeed true. Here, give this child to me; I'll take him in to register."
Old Jack also felt that Yu Xiaogang's smile was particularly unpleasant.
The thought that he was someone even the gatekeeper addressed as "Master" suggested that he must be a highly respected Soul Master.
Upon hearing the master speak to him, old Jack quickly nodded respectfully:
"Oh, okay, okay, then I'll trouble you, Master."
Yu Xiaogang turned his head, staring sharply at the gatekeeper, and snorted coldly:
"You don't have any objections to me taking care of this child, do you?"
"Please proceed, Master."
The gatekeeper's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied.
Despite his dislike for him, the gatekeeper knew he was just an ordinary person and couldn't afford to offend the "useless master."
However, I couldn't help but mutter a few complaints in my heart:
"Tch~~ He's clearly a useless master, what's with the act of being a good person? He's no good either. What a piece of trash~~! Heh heh~~"
The gatekeeper then decided he didn't want to stay any longer, feeling that looking at the useless master any longer would offend his eyes.
I quickly returned to the guardhouse; it's better to see nothing at all.
Old Jack gave Tang San a few words of advice and then took his leave.
The doorman and Old Jack left.
Yu Xiaogang eagerly grabbed Tang San's hand and led him into the academy, to the place where he had previously hidden.
Yu Xiaogang stared intently at Tang San, a grotesque smile spreading across his face once more.
"Child, your name is Tang San, right?"
Tang San raised his little face and nodded innocently in reply:
"Yes, teacher."
"teacher?"
Yu Xiaogang was taken aback, then realized that Tang San must have been referring to the academy's instructor.
He shook his head, forcing an awkward smile, and said with a hint of arrogance:
"I am not a tutor at the academy. Those tutors cannot compare to me. You can call me Master. That's what everyone calls me."
As he spoke, a glint of light flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and he said:
"Of course, you can call me teacher if you want."
"All you need to do is become my disciple!"
"Become an apprentice?"
Tang San looked up in surprise at Yu Xiaogang's face, only to meet Yu Xiaogang's burning gaze.
That gaze looks so familiar.
By the way, it was exactly the same look in his eyes as a month ago when his father first heard that he possessed two martial souls.
It feels so familiar, just like a father.
It's strange that I felt such a sense of closeness to a stranger, like that of a father.
Tang San neither agreed nor disagreed, but instead asked:
"So, Master, are you going to teach me cultivation?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and thought to himself that he was indeed a smart kid. He didn't rush to refuse or agree, and knew how to subtly hint at the issue by changing the subject.
Feeling greatly satisfied, Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth wide, his thick lips parted in a wide grin, and following Tang San's words, asked:
"So, are you willing?"
Tang San remained silent.
Yu Xiaogang put his hands behind his back, raised his head at a 45-degree angle to look at the sky, his eyes piercing, and once again adopted the demeanor of a wise man, smiling with extreme certainty:
"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, you don't just have one martial soul, you have two, right?"
As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, Tang San was shocked. The feeling of familiarity vanished instantly, and a murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes. He suddenly raised his left wrist and aimed it at Yu Xiaogang's throat.
Not only did Tang San reveal his killing intent, but two other killing intents also rose up from the shadows.
One of the killing intents was directed at Yu Xiaogang, and it came from Tang Hao, who was secretly protecting Tang San.
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang reveal the secret of his son Tang San's twin martial souls, Tang Hao was shocked and could no longer remain calm.
He had heard of Yu Xiaogang, who was known as the number one person in the Douluo Continent's Soul Master world regarding Martial Soul theory.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaogang was able to guess that Xiao San was a twin martial soul possessor based on just a Soul Master certificate, which shows he has some skill.
However, Tang Hao didn't care about any of that; he wanted to nip any threat in the bud.
A red light immediately flashed in his eyes, and a fierce killing intent suddenly rose. He opened his large hand, ready to summon the Haotian Hammer at any moment.
Tang Hao decided that if the so-called master Yu Xiaogang showed any sign of wanting to harm Tang San, he would immediately smash him to death with a hammer.
The other killing intent, directed at Tang San, came from the ghosts and demons of the Shadow Realm.
However, because it was in the shadow realm, the ghostly killing intent did not show.
Ye Qifeng shook his head at Gui Mei, signaling him not to act rashly, and then pointed to where Tang Hao was.
Ghost was taken aback. From the direction indicated by the Holy Son, he sensed a familiar killing intent.
"It's Tang Hao!"
The ghost broke out in a cold sweat.
He quickly suppressed his killing intent and concealed his aura.
Six years ago, Tang Hao's unparalleled invincible prowess caused the Ghostly Demon's Dao Heart to break.
Now that he has met Tang Hao again, Gui Mei is not confident in facing him and can't help but feel a little scared.
Ye Qifeng noticed the ghost's unusual behavior and patted him on the shoulder.
A peaceful and serene aura emanated from his shoulder, instantly restoring the ghost's composure.
The eyes beneath the ghostly robe and hat suddenly widened, staring at Ye Qifeng in shock.
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly, said nothing, and continued to look at the scene, witnessing the famous moment with great interest.
Tang San was completely stunned on the spot.
Yu Xiaogang didn't notice anything unusual, assuming that he was just flustered because his secret had been exposed.
With an awkward grin, Yu Xiaogang continued smugly:
Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something.
"Master, I also have another title: the number one person in the Soul Master world of Douluo Continent in terms of Martial Soul theory."
"Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to the study of martial soul theory. Based on my years of research, I have determined that your martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, is just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass and does not possess the innate full soul power. I am certain that you must have another martial soul."
Tang San kept his left hand raised, aimed at Yu Xiaogang's throat, his eyes showing a mixture of emotions as he considered the pros and cons of killing the master.
Yu Xiaogang was completely unaware of the danger.
Seeing that Tang San still looked dazed, they assumed he was amazed by their knowledge.
Feeling somewhat satisfied, he launched into a long and detailed explanation of his martial spirit theory.
Common knowledge such as the innate soul power being directly proportional to the quality of the martial soul, the martial soul being inherited from one's parents, and the mutability of the martial soul.
Yu Xiaogang can speak fluently without hesitation.
Regardless of where this knowledge comes from, it is always said to come from his book "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul".
As Tang San listened to Yu Xiaogang's long-winded explanation, his eyes gradually lit up with a sharp light, and he began to believe in Yu Xiaogang's title as the number one person in the Douluo Continent's Soul Master world regarding Martial Soul theory.
Tang San was astonished because he had never heard of many of Yu Xiaogang's theories about martial spirits before.
Suddenly, Tang San took a step back, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed three times to Yu Xiaogang. Finally, he prostrated himself on the ground and respectfully called out:
"teacher!"
"Huh? What are you doing?"
Yu Xiaogang was startled.
He quickly realized that Tang San had agreed to become his disciple.
Overjoyed, he grinned and bent down to help Tang San up.
"Oh dear, get up, get up! There's no need for such a grand ceremony to become a disciple. A simple bow is enough."
Tang San got up from the ground, unconcerned, and said solemnly:
"As the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life!' The ceremony of becoming a disciple should be solemn."
