It seemed like Su Ming had given Yu Xiaogang two options, but in reality, he had no choice at all. Deep down, Yu Xiaogang didn't want to hand over the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique—it was a sacred, unshared secret of his clan, and he didn't even have the complete version.
However, he was also very intrigued by the meridian techniques within Su Ming's spirit ability, and the ability itself was highly practical.
Su Ming saw Yu Xiaogang deep in thought but didn't rush him. After all, Su Ming hadn't planned to hand over Lingbo Weibu in the first place, or if he did, it wouldn't be the complete technique—just a partial and likely flawed version.
Furthermore, without proper guidance, practicing Lingbo Weibu incorrectly could lead to severe consequences. At best, it would damage the foundation and cause a decline in cultivation. At worst, it could sever the meridians and lead to death. This was no trivial matter.
The people in this world lacked the knowledge of meridians and concepts like the Eight Trigrams from Su Ming's past life, making the technique even harder to learn here.
Oscar, seeing that Yu Xiaogang wasn't having any luck, stepped forward and tried to ask Su Ming directly. His eyes sparkled as he said, "Su Ming, can I also learn it? After all, I'm a support-type spirit master too."
Su Ming smirked, "No, we already agreed. You should learn from Tang San. If he's willing to hand over Mysterious Heaven Technique, maybe you could learn Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step."
Oscar's face fell. He wasn't stupid—he knew Tang San would never hand over the Mysterious Heaven Technique since it was far too important to him.
Tang San also realized that if he didn't say something, the relationships he had carefully built with the group might start to crumble.
Feeling a bit guilty, Tang San turned to Oscar and said, "Sorry, Xiao Ao. Right now, I really can't hand over Mysterious Heaven Technique. But in the future, I can."
"When I grow stronger, I plan to establish a sect called Tang Sect. The Mysterious Heaven Technique and my self-created spirit abilities will become the core techniques of the sect. If you join Tang Sect when the time comes, I will pass Mysterious Heaven Technique to you, and you'll be one of the founding members."
Hearing this, Oscar was surprised that there was still hope. He was also impressed by Tang San's ambition to establish his own sect in the future. Upon reflection, it made sense—Tang San had twin martial spirits and immense talent. Master Yu Xiaogang had even revealed that Tang San's father was the famous Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.
This meant that when the time came, Tang San might return to the Clear Sky Clan and gain their support. If Master Yu hadn't informed them that Tang San wasn't aware of his father's greatness, Oscar would have asked Tang San about it directly.
Back in the Star Dou Forest, although they had seen Tang San's second martial spirit, they didn't recognize it for what it was. They had no idea that Tang San came from such a prestigious background.
Had Tang San known about his lineage earlier, perhaps they wouldn't even be in the same league, as Oscar was just a commoner.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang, seeing Su Ming's insistence, sighed and said, "Fine, let me think about it. After all, this involves the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, a clan legacy, and due to my own limitations, I only know how to cultivate the first level."
Yu Xiaogang figured that handing over the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique might not be a big issue. After all, Su Ming's martial spirit wasn't dragon-related, and he didn't know anyone with a dragon martial spirit either. Even if he did, there was no guarantee they could cultivate it properly.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yu Xiaogang felt he could consider giving it to Su Ming, but first, he would need to discuss it with his father. This realization brought him complex emotions, as he hadn't returned to his clan or seen his father in over a decade. He hadn't expected that this situation would lead to him contemplating a return.
Only if his father agreed could Yu Xiaogang safely hand over the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique. Otherwise, giving away the clan's secret technique would be a grave offense.
Watching the live stream, Liu Erlong realized that Yu Xiaogang might indeed return to his clan to deal with this matter.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was seriously considering the offer, Su Ming waved dismissively, "Then I look forward to hearing from you, Master. If you want my Lingbo Weibu, you'll need to offer something of equal value."
With that, Su Ming turned and left with Xiao Wu and the others, ending the recording.
Oscar watched Su Ming's departing figure with envy. It seemed that Ning Rongrong was about to be won over by Su Ming, and he had lost all hope.
As they walked, Xiao Wu asked, "Brother, if Master really gives you the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, will you actually trade for it? After all, you can't use it, right? What's the point?"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Su Ming curiously.
Su Ming smiled, "If Master can provide the complete version of the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, I wouldn't mind trading Lingbo Weibu. Rongrong, you know better than anyone that learning Lingbo Weibu isn't simple."
"I can hand it over, but I never promised to guide them through the practice. If they make mistakes while training, it has nothing to do with me."
Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement. Even though Su Ming had agreed to teach Lingbo Weibu to her father, she herself hadn't fully mastered it yet. Without guidance, it was too dangerous, and Su Ming was already too busy crafting talismans.
"Plus, Master already said he doesn't have the complete Dragon Transformation Secret Technique. And since he isn't the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's patriarch or even an heir, he wouldn't have the guts to give it to me without permission. Even for you, Rongrong, you'd need to ask your father first."
"If Master does return to his clan, he'll have to discuss it with his father, the current clan leader, Yu Yuanzhen. But Yu Yuanzhen isn't as kind as Uncle Ning. He might even have sinister motives and try to force me to hand over Lingbo Weibu."
Hearing this, the three girls became worried. Ning Rongrong anxiously asked, "What should we do? Should I inform my father?"
Xiao Wu was about to say something but stopped, remembering that Su Ming was practically invincible in defense now. What could Yu Yuanzhen do to him? If worst comes to worst, they could always escape.
Su Ming reassured them, "Don't worry. Even if that happens, it's a long way off. By then, we might not even be around anymore."
With that, the three girls reached a conclusion: Su Ming was preparing to leave Shrek soon.
