Chapter 12: Yu Xiaogang's Sour Spot
"Um..."
Su Yun's words left Yu Xiaogang momentarily speechless.
Even more so.
A tinge of bitterness and helplessness crept into his heart.
Yu Xiaogang remembered.
After coming to the Novice Soul Master Academy and receiving assistance from friends, he did serve as a formal teacher for some time.
Moreover, the children he taught were mostly offspring of noble families.
Most of them had innate soul power levels of at least rank six.
Therefore.
With the knowledge gained from his family and the Martial Soul Hall, when he first arrived at the Novice Soul Master Academy, in the eyes of the upper class, his image was indeed mysterious.
After all. His guidance did provide some help to the children's cultivation.
However. When news of his deeds gradually spread to Nuoding City.
Those noble parents immediately changed their attitudes.
They immediately transferred their children out of his class.
Moreover. They even spread rumors outside.
Such as his soul power being unable to break through level thirty for his entire life.
Just good at theoretical talk.
Children taught by him were doomed to never surpass level thirty in soul power, and so on.
Over time, as rumors spread. Even some work-study students were unwilling to attend his classes.
In the end, he could only hide in the depths of the academy.
Devoting himself to theoretical research.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel a pang of misunderstood pain.
A painful expression appeared on his face.
It could be said.
Su Yun's words directly struck his sore spot!
Seeing the teacher's face revealing a trace of bitterness, Tang San couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow for him.
Although he didn't know what the teacher had experienced in the past.
But Tang San knew it must have been a very painful thing.
As a disciple, he should share the burden for his teacher!
Since Su Yun had firmly refused to be honest with the teacher.
Why did the teacher insist on begging him to be a disciple?
Being able to discern his twin martial soul with just a Martial Soul Hall certificate was already enough to prove the unparalleled nature of the teacher's theory.
Such a teacher is hard to come by, even if you search with a lantern.
Moreover, he was delivered directly to them?
Su Yun, oh, Su Yun.
This is the difference between you and me.
You think that having a twin martial soul makes you unique, even ignoring the teacher's invitation.
But this is precisely your biggest mistake.
You've only lived for six years; your vision is too short, and you don't understand the importance of a good teacher on the path of life.
And in my past life and present combined, I've lived for a full thirty-five years.
I can tell you with my thirty-five years of experience that if you miss the opportunity to apprentice under this teacher, you will regret it for the rest of your life!
Tang San tightened his grip on Yu Xiaogang's hand, conveying warmth to the latter.
Devoting himself to the study of martial soul theory for decades without change.
In Tang San's eyes, the teacher was more than worthy of the title Master!
Why be so sad over a single sentence from Su Yun?
Then.
Tang San looked at Su Yun again, his gaze slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice:
"Su Yun, if you don't want to be the teacher's disciple, just leave."
"Why deliberately expose the teacher's wounds here?"
"But remember, once the bow is drawn, the arrow must be released."
"A genius like the teacher is rare in this world."
"If you give up this opportunity to become an apprentice, and if you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation in the future..."
"At that time, if you want to come and seek apprenticeship, there won't be a place under the teacher."
Tang San spoke with a sense of righteousness.
Obviously.
At this moment, he had already regarded Yu Xiaogang as a figure equivalent to his father, Tang Hao.
Just then.
Tang San's words instantly awakened Yu Xiaogang.
Right!
Su Yun is only six years old.
What does he understand about soul cultivation?
Moreover, he possesses a twin martial soul.
The difficulty in cultivating a twin martial soul and the choices in the development path are more than ten times more challenging than for a soul master with a single martial soul!
Can he, alone, or by consulting other people with superficial knowledge of martial soul research, benefit his cultivation?
Is that helpful for his cultivation?
Can those people have the profound understanding of research that he possesses?
Heh.
Maybe he's just too young and doesn't understand the world.
Forget it.
Since you don't want to be my disciple, I won't force you.
But when the gap between you and Tang San grows bigger in the future, I hope you won't regret today's decision.
"Alright, Little San, don't say anymore, let's go."
Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San's shoulder.
Looking at Tang San who turned his head, he whispered:
"Since everyone has their own aspirations, you don't need to say more."
Saying that.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Su Yun, and his eyes seemed to carry a trace of regret as he said:
"Su Yun, since you don't plan to accept my invitation and want to cultivate the twin martial soul on your own, then I won't stop you."
"I can only advise you, take care of yourself."
"Don't waste your innate talent."
Su Yun stood opposite the two, listening to the words of the master and disciple.
He was directly dumbfounded.
No wonder you two can be master and disciple, typical examples of abnormal brain development.
One fervently believes that his theory is absolutely correct, and the other is so loyal from the beginning, crazily protecting the master.
This makes Su Yun feel too awkward to complain.
But if he doesn't complain, he feels uncomfortable.
Tang San doesn't need to be mentioned.
Typical old-fashioned thinking.
It's as if his father's words are always right, and others' words are always wrong.
If Yu Xiaogang were to say I have ten martial souls.
I guess Tang San would be delighted to light a cigarette for Yu Xiaogang, and he would also have to say that the teacher is indeed a master with invincible theories.
And you, Yu Xiaogang.
You're a level 29 Great Soul Master.
The martial soul theories you released were probably obtained with the support of the Martial Soul Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The ten great martial soul core competencies have not been fully proven.
What qualifications do you have to hold the title of master?
Moreover, after leaving the Martial Soul Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, you haven't cultivated any powerful soul masters.
Why do you think you can make good use of other people's martial soul advantages?
Su Yun remembers it vividly.
In the original work, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was almost played into uselessness by Yu Xiaogang.
Of course, this is also due to Tang San's inclination toward poison.
The two can be said to be fifty-fifty on this point.
Su Yun can't help but criticize.
But not criticizing makes him feel uncomfortable.
If there hadn't been the subsequent awakening of the Immortal Herb and the Blue Silver Emperor's Martial Soul bloodline.
Su Yun would have mentally drawn a cross on Tang San's chest and chanted "Namo Amitabha."
Ask yourself.
A person who almost failed to cultivate a single Martial Soul properly.
Now, he actually says he wants to cultivate a twin Martial Soul!
Where do you get the face and confidence to claim that you can guide others?
So, with a slight dissatisfaction in his heart, Su Yun spoke up as Yu Xiaogang turned with Tang San, preparing to walk towards the direction of the academic affairs office:
"Master."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face brightened.
He thought Su Yun had realized his mistake and wanted to become his disciple.
Heh.
Now realizing your mistake is not too late.
If you want to come back after I have cultivated Tang San, I will really say the same thing as Tang San.
I don't have the time to correct your mistakes.
Then, Yu Xiaogang turned around, his face calm as water, and said casually:
"What's the matter?"
He still had to keep up appearances.
He must give this kid a little lesson.
Let him understand what it means to respect the teacher and value principles.
Su Yun looked at Yu Xiaogang, small in stature but with a serious gaze.
He suddenly asked:
"Are you a twin Martial Soul?"
Huh?
Yu Xiaogang frowned.
What kind of question is this?
But he still honestly answered:
"No, I have already explained the situation of the twin Martial Soul before."
"Before you and Little San appeared, there were only two people on the entire continent who possessed it."
Su Yun nodded slightly and asked again:
"Have you ever cultivated powerful soul masters?"
At this, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed slightly.
After a long silence, he answered intermittently:
"Well... not really."
For so many years, he hasn't had a student he can be proud of.
This is the most regrettable thing for him!
Heh, As expected.
Having obtained the answer he wanted, Su Yun finally asked the last question.
He looked into Yu Xiaogang's eyes and said:
"Okay."
"If I really have a twin Martial Soul as you say, why should I believe that you can guide me on the right path?"
Yu Xiaogang: "..."
