[Yu Xiaogang (excited): @Tang Hao, Lord Haotian, have you seen this broadcast? Your son is my disciple, and I'm the one who helped him become a god!]
Yu Xiaogang was ecstatic to discover that his future disciple would be a god. Without hesitation, he @ed Tang Hao, declaring that he was the one who had trained Tang San into godhood.
However, in the live chat, when Lin Yu saw Yu Xiaogang's words, he was utterly disgusted.
Seriously?!
How could someone be so shameless, claiming all the credit for themselves without an ounce of humility? Does he have no shame left?
Let's not forget that when he helped Tang San hunt for his first spirit ring, the spirit beast nearly killed them both!
If it weren't for Tang San's skills from his past life, they would've been snake food! And you think you trained Tang San into a god? I scoff at that!
And let's not ignore that Tang San and his crew only became gods because of Dugu Bo's immortal herbs.
Without those herbs, even Tang San might not have reached godhood.
If anyone deserves credit for Tang San's success, it's clearly Dugu Bo!
But as disgusted as Lin Yu was, he decided not to expose Yu Xiaogang's delusions this time.
After all, although the previous broadcast had already revealed Yu Xiaogang's shamelessness, and Bibi Dong's feelings for him were likely no longer as they were in the original story, Yu Xiaogang might still escape harm if he didn't push his luck.
But if Yu Xiaogang were to join Tang Hao and his son, when Bibi Dong eventually went after them, Yu Xiaogang would likely act out of self-interest. In his desperation to prove his theories by keeping his future disciple safe, he might lash out at Bibi Dong, leading to a complete break between them.
And if things escalated, Bibi Dong might fully embrace her dark side, forsaking any remaining feelings for Yu Xiaogang and relentlessly hunting down both Tang Hao, his son, and Yu Xiaogang.
What a wonderful sight that would be.
Since this fool is determined to dig his own grave, why stop him? Lin Yu decided he'd sit back and enjoy the show.
[Yu Xiaogang (excited): Lord Haotian, where are you right now? Can I come to you? As you've seen in this broadcast, I am your son's teacher. It's because of me that your son will become a god. I'm the only one qualified to teach him!]
After claiming that Tang San's future godhood was all thanks to him, Yu Xiaogang eagerly asked Tang Hao for his location, hoping to take Tang San as his disciple.
For Yu Xiaogang, proving his worth had always been his life's dream.
But due to his own weaknesses and lack of talent, he knew he'd never become a powerful spirit master himself. His only hope was to validate his theories by teaching a prodigy.
However, Yu Xiaogang was well aware that his theories were cobbled together from bits and pieces of other people's work. His own research was sparse at best.
That's why he never tried to find a disciple with talent similar to his own. If he had, he would've found one long ago during his time at Nuoding Academy.
Instead, Yu Xiaogang was always on the lookout for a prodigy he could mold into greatness, hoping to piggyback on their success to prove himself.
Initially, he had his eyes on Xiao Wu, a commoner with the gift of innate full spirit power.
When Yu Xiaogang learned of this, he was ecstatic, seeing it as a divine opportunity.
As someone who hailed from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and had spent years in Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang knew better than anyone how powerful innate full spirit power was.
Finding a commoner with such a talent, who had yet to join any spirit master organization, was an opportunity too good to pass up!
But Yu Xiaogang had overestimated himself.
Despite his efforts to convince Xiao Wu to let him guide her, she rejected him repeatedly. As a 100,000-year spirit beast in human form, Xiao Wu's knowledge of spirit beasts far exceeded Yu Xiaogang's, and she didn't need his help when it came to choosing her spirit rings.
So, after Lin Yu's public humiliation of him, Yu Xiaogang thought his dreams were shattered. But then the broadcast revealed that his future disciple would become a god!
He couldn't believe his luck!
As long as he took Tang San as his disciple, just like in the broadcast, he would become the mentor of a god! Proving his theories would be a piece of cake!
Didn't you see that in the future, people even erected a statue in his honor?
After sending the message to Tang Hao, expressing his desire to be Tang San's teacher and insisting that only he was fit to guide him, Yu Xiaogang anxiously awaited Tang Hao's response.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong, who had already lost all hope in Yu Xiaogang, was watching the broadcast. She felt her heart grow cold.
Yu Xiaogang… Yu Xiaogang…
Was I too naive?
It seems you never truly cared about me.
The destruction of Spirit Hall in the previous broadcast—could you not see that? As the Supreme Pontiff, I likely perished in that attack.
I refuse to believe you can't figure out who was responsible, yet you still insist on helping the culprit.
If you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Watching the virtual screen in the broadcast, Bibi Dong's face turned icy as she clenched her papal scepter, making a silent vow. The next time she crossed paths with this deceitful scoundrel, she would not spare him!
Meanwhile, in Holy Spirit Village…
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's message, Tang Hao hesitated.
Should he let Tang San apprentice under this man?
After a moment of consideration, Tang Hao made up his mind—yes, he should.
Since Yu Xiaogang was his son's future teacher, and his son became a god, there must be some connection between them.
Besides, Tang Hao still needed to find Ah Yin.
If he could find a teacher for Tang San, it would give him more time to search for her.
Still, Tang Hao wasn't about to reveal his location.
[Tang Hao: @Yu Xiaogang, where are you? I'll come find you.]
At Nuoding Academy, when Yu Xiaogang saw Tang Hao's reply, he was thrilled.
Success?!
[Yu Xiaogang (excited): Lord Haotian, I'm in Nuoding City, Fanos Province, Heaven Dou Empire, at Nuoding Academy. My room is on the fifth floor of the dormitory. When will you come?]
Nuoding City?!
Both Tang Hao and Bibi Dong were momentarily stunned as they read Yu Xiaogang's message, their expressions turning odd.
Who would've thought that Yu Xiaogang was in Nuoding City all along?
Now knowing Yu Xiaogang's location, Tang Hao made up his mind.
He would take Tang San to meet Yu Xiaogang right away.
After all, Spirit Hall still didn't know where he was, and he'd easily reach Nuoding City before they could track him down.
At the same time, in a forest near Nuoding City…
A group from Spirit Hall was preparing to make their move.
They had initially planned to ambush Tang Hao in Holy Spirit Village, but now, seeing that Tang Hao might head to Nuoding City to meet Yu Xiaogang, they decided to wait for their prey to come to them.
