Chapter 36: Kid, Promise Him
Suicide?!
The entire audience was once again in an uproar!
Is this gamble too much?
"What... What's going on with Da... Yu Xiaogang? Tang San has already lost to Su Yun. Why does he want another gambling match?"
"I think what he said makes sense. Among Soul Masters, the competition is about the combination of Martial Souls and Soul Skills."
"Although Su Yun has temporarily won against Tang San, it's only temporary."
"If he can't get good guidance, how will his future as a Soul Master unfold? Can he really reach the Title Douluo level just by relying on a stick?"
"This..."
While the audience was discussing, Yu Xiaogang didn't rush to ask for Su Yun's response.
Instead, he turned to his disciple Tang San and spoke seriously, "Tang San, do you have the confidence to challenge Su Yun again in ten years?"
Tang San didn't reply, standing there stunned.
Since Yu Xiaogang uttered the words "suicide," Tang San's mind had exploded in an instant.
He thought his carelessness would bring the teacher's reprimand, and he was even prepared for punishment.
However, what he didn't expect was that the teacher was willing to challenge Su Yun again for him, even risking his own life!
Tang San stood behind Yu Xiaogang's seat, looking at the gaze projected by the teacher. It was as if he instantly understood the teacher's intention to seek another battle.
He immediately took a step forward, walked to the front of the teacher, looked at Su Yun, and said, "Su Yun, I lost to you today due to my carelessness. I have nothing to say."
"But my teacher once taught me that temporary victory or defeat is not frightening; what's frightening is being immersed in temporary victory or defeat."
"If you have the courage, are you willing to have another match with me in ten years? This time, we won't gamble on my teacher's life but on my own!" As he spoke, the fighting spirit in Tang San's eyes had been completely ignited. "Are you willing to bet our lives?"
The teacher was willing to fight for him with his own life, how could he easily back down?
"Good! Truly my disciple, Yu Xiaogang!" Yu Xiaogang clapped and praised. Seeing that Tang San could understand his meaning, take the initiative to speak these words, he felt very happy.
Although Xiao San lost the first battle and even publicly lost the title of Grandmaster, at this moment, he gained something even more precious.
Firstly, if Su Yun didn't agree to the rematch in ten years, he would inevitably be criticized by others. The reason was naturally that everything had been prepared before the second challenge.
What does a battle between two Soul Elders mean? In the eyes of Soul Emperors and above, it's just two kids playing with mud.
As long as Su Yun doesn't agree to the rematch, even if he loses the title of Grandmaster, it's only temporary.
Little San is a twin martial soul with innate full soul power. Training him into a Title Douluo under my guidance is not difficult at all.
Furthermore, his second martial soul is the Sky Hammer, known as the world's number one tool martial soul.
His father might be the former Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao. With his help in the future, it's not impossible for Tang San to become a Title Douluo!
As for how Xiao San's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul is cultivated... when he grows up, I can discuss it with her and see if I can get the cultivation secrets of the second martial soul. However, it is necessary to keep Xiao San's identity as the heir of the Clear Sky Hammer Sect confidential.
Just imagine, when Xiao San achieves the Title Douluo with twin martial souls in the future, the world will once again know the name of my Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
By that day, the loss of today's title will be nothing more than a joke. It's just a way to lower expectations before raising them.
Secondly, if Su Yun really agrees to the rematch in ten years, it suits me even better.
In ten years, under my guidance, Xiao San will have the strength of a Level 40 Soul Elder.
Although Su Yun has his teacher behind him, he can only provide some support in actual combat.
In terms of martial soul theory, Su Yun's teacher is undoubtedly inferior to me. In addition to my own research, I also have the backing of the Martial Soul Hall and the ancient texts of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. It's impossible for anyone to have my thorough understanding of martial souls.
This competition revealed the weakness of Su Yun's first soul skill. It's only effective when facing an opponent.
This time, Xiao San was careless, and with his agile body, unless he actively sought opportunities to attack, he would hardly be touched by the opponent's attacks.
Compared to the entwining effect of the soul skill with the two selected soul rings, one is only for offense, and the other can be used for both offense and defense. The difference is clear.
This further illustrates Su Yun's teacher's muddled understanding of martial soul theory.
In the rematch ten years later, Xiao San will definitely defeat Su Yun. By that time, my reputation will naturally return.
Therefore, whether Su Yun is willing to accept my second challenge or not, the advantage is already in my hands.
Unfortunately for Su Yun, although you also possess twin martial souls, you lack a good martial soul theory teacher and cannot find the method to cultivate twin martial souls. Sooner or later, this piece of jade will be riddled with holes.
On the other hand, Xiao San will become the symbol of my return to the Soul Master world, a true gem!
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's mood suddenly became extremely excited!
Unexpectedly, this time, my disciple losing to Su Yun not only didn't turn out to be a bad thing but even became a good thing!
Is this what they call "Every cloud has a silver lining"?
While Yu Xiaogang was excited internally, Ah Yin's words echoed in Su Yun's mind.
"Heh, little Su Yun, this man named Yu Xiaogang is quite scheming. I originally thought he deserved the title of Grandmaster, but now it seems this man truly doesn't deserve that title."
Although Ah Yin is gentle and pure-hearted, she has experienced the human world.
Even though she doesn't know about the connections between Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao, and Bibi Dong, she sensed something unusual through Yu Xiaogang's gaze and his words with that impostor.
"Whether you agree to his challenge or not, the situation is already set."
"He just used rhetoric to smooth over your battle just now, meaning something like: today's battle was just for fun; if you have the ability, wait for me for ten years, and we'll fight again."
"Truly shameless."
Spitting at Yu Xiaogang, Ah Yin added, "But since this impostor said he wants to bet their lives, how about..."
Halfway through her words, Ah Yin seemed to realize something and immediately retracted her statement, chuckling, "Sorry, little Su Yun, I was a bit impatient. If you really bet your lives, and something goes wrong, I would become the culprit."
To be honest, seeing this impostor continuously occupying her child's body, Ah Yin's heart was never at peace.
She wished to kill the bastard in front of her at every moment.
So, when she heard 'Tang San' talking about betting their lives, Ah Yin really felt tempted. That's why she spoke up, but halfway through, she realized she was going too far and retracted her words.
Upon hearing this, Su Yun smiled inwardly. He knew Ah Yin's thoughts, so he comforted her with a few words in his mind.
"It doesn't matter, Sister Yin, whether it's a bet or not, what's important is finding a way to help you regain your human form."
"As for this impostor, do I really need a bet to bully him in the future?"
"When he enters the Intermediate Soul Master Academy, I'll continue to follow him, bully him every day until you regain your form. Then, we can find an opportunity..."
Understanding Yu Xiaogang's plan, Su Yun wasn't a fool. He could naturally guess what was going on.
Instead of fighting with you, I might as well think about how to bring Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong into the fish pond in ten years.
Thinking about this, Su Yun was about to say the classic phrase 'Da ga kotowaru!' to refuse the duo of white-eyed wolf master and disciple.
However, just as he was about to speak, a majestic pressure, as if coming from nowhere, suddenly descended like a mountain, crashing onto him!
At the same time, a voice full of majesty and unquestionable vicissitudes echoed in Su Yun's ears:
"Kid, promise him!"
