Chapter 58: The Extremely Hypocritical Yu Xiaogang
"Master, I know I was wrong." Tang San slightly lowered his head.
"Little San, you must remember, no matter what, the most important thing is always yourself. You still have a long way to go, you still have responsibilities on your shoulders, carrying all the theoretical hopes I have… How could you gamble your life so casually for a woman?"
Yu Xiaogang's tone softened slightly, yet remained extremely serious. He stood with his back to Tang San, his voice low and tinged with a hint of disappointment.
"Women? There are plenty in this world! If you become a Titled Douluo in the future, what kind of woman wouldn't you have? You are still young, and in the future, you will stand at the Peak of this continent. By then, what kind of feelings, what kind of beauties, wouldn't they be readily available?"
"So, you can't do this again in the future. No matter for anyone, you cannot treat your life so lightly, do you hear me?"
"Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your father's nurturing grace and my teaching?"
Hearing this, Tang San lowered his head. He wanted to retort, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
He wanted to tell Yu Xiaogang that his Xiao Wu was different, she was the most important existence in his heart, the only one he couldn't abandon.
"I remember, Master. I won't do this again in the future?" After a moment of silence, Tang San nodded.
Yu Xiaogang smiled slightly, very satisfied with this obedient Disciple, and said, "Let's go, Little San, let's go to the open space on the training ground and see to what extent your third spirit ring has evolved after attaching the poisonous Man Faced Demon Spider."
"Mm." Tang San nodded again and got up, walking towards the training ground.
The morning sun sprinkled on the open grass, and the air was filled with a faint dampness.
Tang San took a deep breath, stood firm in the center of the field, waiting for Yu Xiaogang's instructions.
"Master, I'm ready." Tang San said softly.
Yu Xiaogang nodded and said, "Little San, release your Spirit, Blue Silver Grass."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San raised his right hand. As spirit power surged, the slightly purple-tinged Blue Silver Grass immediately swept out, and at the same time, three spirit rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, spiraled up from beneath his feet.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the deep purple thousand-year spirit ring on Tang San's body, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Little San, try your Binding on that large tree in front."
"Alright."
Nodding, Tang San concentrated his mind and controlled the Blue Silver Grass to shoot out like a nimble snake.
In an instant, it tightly entangled a thick tree several meters away.
The moment the Blue Silver Grass adhered to the tree trunk.
Black smoke immediately billowed from the point of contact on the tree trunk, followed by a sizzling sound. The area that was entangled instantly turned charred black, and even the sound of the tree trunk rapidly corroding could be faintly heard.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, laughing loudly:
"Good! Little San, did you see that? Your Blue Silver Grass not only has stronger control ability, but it also comes with potent poison and strong corrosiveness! This destructive power is simply far superior to before!"
"If you had listened to that little bastard Tang Chuan's suggestion back then to attach a Life Qi attribute spirit ring, do you think you would have this kind of power now?"
Hearing this, Tang San was slightly startled, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Master, you are right, you truly have a deeper understanding of Spirits."
"That's for sure. I, your Master, have researched Spirit theory for decades. I'm not comparable to those little brats who read for two or three days and think they know everything." Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang smiled contentedly, his eyes full of pride.
Just then, a familiar and high-pitched laugh came from afar.
"Hey, Little San, Xiao Gang, good morning!"
As the words fell, a burly figure walked over from the edge of the training ground. It was Flender, the Dean of Shrek Academy, the Four-Eyed Owl.
"Dean, good morning!"
Tang San quickly stopped his movements, turned to look at the newcomer, and respectfully said.
Flender waved his hand, a warm smile on his face, but his gaze passed over Tang San and landed on Yu Xiaogang beside him. He waved his hand and said:
"Little San, your Master and I have something to discuss. You go continue to Cultivate first."
"Yes." Hearing this, although Tang San was a bit confused, he still obediently nodded without saying more, turned, and silently left, walking to the other side of the training ground.
A moment later.
Only Yu Xiaogang and Flender remained on the training ground, and the atmosphere seemed to have become a bit subtle.
"You're looking for me, something wrong?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Flender indifferently and spoke first.
Flender did not answer immediately but slowly walked in front of Yu Xiaogang, his expression no longer playful, his tone revealing a hint of seriousness and expectation:
"Xiao Gang, you've come this time… you're not just staying for a few days and then leaving again, are you?"
At this point, he paused, his tone becoming even more sincere:
"As you can see, Shrek Academy's current development truly needs you. How long can old bones like us last? You are the future core of this Academy."
"Me?" Yu Xiaogang was slightly startled, his brows furrowed slightly, and he murmured, "I have indeed come this time with no intention of leaving. However, my staying here is entirely because of Little San."
Hearing this, Flender reached out and heavily patted Yu Xiaogang's shoulder, laughing loudly:
"That's great! If you really stay, we two brothers can finally be together again. It's been more than twenty years, but it's a pity… Liu Erlong is not here."
As soon as the words fell, Yu Xiaogang's originally calm face suddenly changed, his expression instantly turned ashen, and he angrily roared in a low voice, "Flender! How many times have I told you not to mention her in front of me! Are you not taking what I say seriously?"
"If you mention her again, I will leave Shrek immediately!"
"Alright, alright, I was wrong, Xiao Gang, I won't say it again, I won't say it ever again." Flender quickly waved his hands, explaining repeatedly:
"Don't be angry, it's not easy for us brothers to get together."
Yu Xiaogang's face was still livid, but in the end, he just took a deep breath, turned around, and no longer looked at him.
Seeing this, Flender quickly changed the subject, glanced in Tang San's direction on the training ground, and chuckled, "But seriously, Xiao Gang, I really have to congratulate you this time."
"You've taken on an extraordinary Disciple. Twin Spirits, such talent is rarely seen even across the entire continent. How old is he? His third spirit ring has already broken the limits of a Spirit Master, and he even obtained an external Spirit Bone!"
"If Little San's path is smooth, he will surely shake the entire continent in the future. When he stands at the Peak of the continent, who will still be able to question your Spirit theory? Heh, by then, those old geezers in your Sect who looked down on you back then probably wouldn't even dare to say a word."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang lowered his head slightly, his tone flat: "These are all the results of Little San's own hard work. I merely provided some negligible help."
Despite his words, a hint of unconcealed pride appeared between his brows.
In his opinion, if it weren't for his guidance and planning, how could Tang San have walked so smoothly on the path of a Spirit Master?
Without him, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San would have been a useless Soul Cultivator.
What kind of Cultivation could Blue Silver Grass, this kind of Spirit, achieve?!
"Haha." Flender naturally heard the hidden pride in Yu Xiaogang's words, then couldn't help but laugh loudly, and then patted Yu Xiaogang's shoulder, saying:
"Xiao Gang, you are too modest. Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Little San's first Spirit is Blue Silver Grass and he can Cultivate to this extent is entirely your credit. If it weren't for your Spirit theoretical system supporting him, he would have become a good-for-nothing long ago."
"Who in this world would dare to accept a Disciple whose Spirit is Blue Silver Grass? Who would dare to guide the Cultivation of such a Waste Spirit? Besides you, there's probably no second person on the entire continent."
Yu Xiaogang's lips curled into a slight arc, and his voice, unusually, carried a hint of lightness: "If you put it that way, if I continue to be modest, it would seem a bit hypocritical."
He slowly turned around and looked in Tang San's direction, his tone revealing an unconcealed sense of triumph and pride: "That's right, Little San's Blue Silver Grass being able to Cultivate to this extent is indeed solely my credit. If I hadn't designed his Cultivation direction and spirit ring absorption route for him early on, he would probably have been misled long ago, walked down a dead end, and become a useless person."
"I imagine that in ten, twenty years, Little San will reach the Peak of the continent. At that time, I will let everyone in the world know that I, Yu Xiaogang, nurtured a good-for-nothing into a Titled Douluo!"
Just as Yu Xiaogang was fantasizing about the future.
Tang San had already finished his morning training and then left Shrek Academy. He planned to go to the Spirit Hall in Soto City to collect his Spirit Master subsidy for the past few months.
However, Tang San didn't know that the people from Spirit Hall were also waiting for him to appear at this moment!
