N-A-A Chapter 21 Tang 3 Becomes an Apprentice
Chapter 21 Tang 3 Becomes an Apprentice
Chapter 21 Tang San Becomes a Disciple
Yu Xiaogang forced a smile onto his stiff old face. "Are you here to enroll too? Shall I take you in?"
These words were spoken to Lin Ye.
Seeing that the child was only about 6 years old, he assumed he was also a new student this year, hence his question.
The old man assured him that he was not trying to get close to that unbelievably beautiful woman.
"Hehe, no need to trouble yourself, we're waiting for someone." Lin Ye waved his hand, too lazy to even acknowledge the old man.
Yu Xiaogang choked. The child's tone made him very unhappy. He was a master, couldn't the child show some respect?
So the old man vented his anger on the gatekeeper standing nearby.
"This is the first and last time. If you do it again, you can pack your things and leave."
After saying that, he led Tang San into the academy.
"Thank you, teacher," Tang San said to Yu Xiaogang.
"Teacher? I'm not a teacher at the academy." Yu Xiaogang glanced down at Tang San and said calmly.
"Not a teacher? Didn't you just say you represented the academy?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head, a forced, awkward smile appearing on his stiff, old face. "Who says only teachers from the academy can represent the academy?"
Tang San looked enlightened, realizing the truth he thought he had guessed. "I understand now. So you must be the principal or leader of the academy."
Yu Xiaogang chuckled and said, "You're not very old, but you're quite clever. However, you're still wrong."
"And who are you?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
Yu Xiaogang said dejectedly, "I'm just a guest here who freeloads. You can call me Master, that's what everyone calls me, I've even forgotten my own name."
"The Spirit Hall's certificate says your name is Tang San, right? Tang San, you need to understand that 'Grandmaster' and 'Teacher' have completely different meanings, so don't call me by the wrong name in the future."
"Unless..." She paused, her gaze towards Tang San filled with fervor.
"Unless you're really willing to let me be your teacher."
"Are you going to teach me how to cultivate a martial soul?" Tang San couldn't help but ask.
Yu Xiaogang stopped, stood facing Tang San, and smiled, "So, are you willing or not?"
Tang San didn't express his opinion, but simply looked up at Yu Xiaogang with his dark face.
The meaning is clear: please begin your performance, and I will then decide whether or not to become your apprentice.
"Indeed, you are a smart child." Yu Xiaogang smiled awkwardly but politely. "You are exceptionally talented and clever."
"Indeed, it seems I'll have to be persistent this time. After all, you are a rare find with twin martial souls."
Upon hearing this, Tang San was shocked and his gaze towards Yu Xiaogang became wary. He subtly raised his left hand, his hidden sword poised to strike, ready to kill the old man at any moment.
Yu Xiaogang, completely unaware that he was in a life-or-death crisis, smiled confidently and said, "It's strange how I knew you had twin martial souls, isn't it? It's because of this proof."
As he spoke, he waved the certificate that the Spirit Hall had given to Tang San.
"Perhaps others cannot discover the oversights, but if I cannot see them either, then I would be unworthy of the title of master."
In my previous survey, out of 647 people who possessed Blue Silver Grass, 16 of them had Soul Power.
Among these 16 people, the one with the highest innate soul power was only level 1.
And you, also a Blue Silver Grass martial soul, are at level 10 with innate full soul power.
According to my research, the level of innate soul power is directly proportional to the quality of the martial soul. Obviously, a martial soul like Blue Silver Grass cannot reach full innate soul power.
Therefore, I can conclude that you have another martial soul, and it is an exceptionally powerful one.
Tang San slowly lowered his left hand and calmly said, "There are always exceptions, aren't there?"
Yu Xiaogang: "But your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, so you are obviously not the exception."
In the past century of the two great empires, although only two people have ever had twin martial souls, 19 people have ever had innate full soul power.
I have studied each of them carefully, and their martial spirits are all powerful martial spirits inherited from others.
Fourteen of them possessed powerful martial spirits inherited from their families.
The other five were different; they were not born into noble families, yet they possessed the rare ability to innate full soul power. This was because they had mutated martial souls.
Based on my years of research on mutated martial souls, no martial soul has ever mutated with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul. However, your Blue Silver Grass martial soul is just ordinary Blue Silver Grass, so I can confidently conclude that my judgment is correct.
"What is a mutated martial soul?" Tang San noticed this unfamiliar piece of knowledge.
Yu Xiaogang said, "One person possesses..."
Blah blah blah...
Yu Xiaogang spoke eloquently about his proud theories.
After hearing this, Tang San was completely convinced. This uncle was truly a learned scholar.
Then Tang San took a step back, widening the distance between them, and then knelt down on both knees with a thud, kowtowing three times in quick succession.
"What are you doing?" Yu Xiaogang was slightly taken aback.
"I humbly request that you accept me as your disciple, Master," Tang San said respectfully.
Yu Xiaogang's old face once again showed a stiff smile, and he hurriedly bent down to help Tang San up, "Silly child, bowing is all you need to become a disciple. Kowtowing is a courtesy to kings and parents."
Clearly, the customs of Douluo Continent are different from those of Tang San's previous life.
But Tang San felt that his manners were correct, and he said earnestly, "A teacher for a day is a father for life. A teacher who imparts knowledge is like a second parent, and you should accept my kneeling."
Yu Xiaogang was deeply moved. "A teacher for a day is a father for life. Good, good, good. I knew I made the right choice."
As the saying goes, "a small thing can reveal a great truth," and details determine success or failure. Although they haven't known each other for long, Yu Xiaogang has already seen virtues in Tang San; he is a filial son.
I will treat him like my own son from now on.
Since he had no children of his own, he adopted this child, so that someone would take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days.
Yu Xiaogang looked up at the sky. After so many years, he was finally about to make it. Heaven really had eyes, or rather, gold always shines.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang felt that the sky had become clear, and he couldn't help but want to laugh heartily.
Just then, a crow flew overhead. It was an immoral crow because it defecated and urinated indiscriminately.
A clump of bird droppings fell, and it just so happened to land right on Yu Xiaogang.
Splat!
Yu Xiaogang felt something on his lips, something warm and a little runny. He subconsciously licked it, but couldn't tell what it was. It tasted strange, something he'd never tasted before.
He smeared some more on his lips and held it up to his eyes, only then realizing it was bird droppings. His face changed drastically, and he vomited on the spot.
