Yu Xiaogang suddenly stopped, waiting for Tang San to ask a question.
He glanced at Gula out of the corner of his eye; even an unknown new martial soul needs guidance.
"Heh, heh heh."
Tang San didn't speak, but Gula couldn't help but laugh first.
Yu Xiaogang frowned, keenly recognizing the familiar sarcasm in Gula's laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Can't you tell? I'm laughing at you."
Gula was unusually cheerful, ignoring Yu Xiaogang's suddenly darkening expression, and asked:
You describe the poison attribute as so powerful, as if Tang San would miss an opportunity without attaching a poison attribute spirit ring.
Then can you tell us, does your martial soul have an attached poison attribute spirit ring?"
Yu Xiaogang remained silent. Although his martial soul was inferior, as the direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's sect master, even with his useless Pig Martial Soul awakened, he was still qualified to receive top-tier resources for cultivation.
Both of his spirit rings were lightning-attribute dragon martial souls; how could he possibly attach a poison attribute spirit ring?
"Looks like there's nothing left."
Gula clapped his hands, applauding loudly, his expression mocking.
"Brilliant! You haven't tried it yourself, just spouting off all that. Are you trying to trick Tang San into being your guinea pig?"
"Tsk tsk, using someone else's future to validate your own theories, and doing it with deception? You're shameless."
Gula showed no mercy, directly exposing the hypocrisy beneath Yu Xiaogang's mask.
In the original story, if Tang San hadn't been a transmigrator, he would have been completely ruined by Yu Xiaogang's training methods.
It's easy to imagine; without the Tang Sect's secret techniques, the Blue Silver Grass's weak toxins couldn't even penetrate a soul power defense, unlike the Poisonous Snake Martial Soul which could spray venom into the air.
In that case, Tang San would only be a pure control-type Soul Master, relying entirely on his teammates for damage output; his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul would be useless.
Not to mention the hidden danger of poison entering the body, even posing a life-threatening risk.
Tang San was terrified upon hearing this, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Yu Xiaogang, finally seeing through Yu Xiaogang's sinister intentions.
He only wanted someone to guide him, but the other party actually planned to use him as a guinea pig.
Was the Soul Master world really this dark?
"You...you...nonsense!
I never thought of that! You're slandering me!"
Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red, and he almost rushed forward to fight Gula.
Unfortunately, Flander wasn't there, and no one held him back, preventing him from even putting on a show to save face.
More importantly, with Gula exposing his dark intentions, his plan to take on a disciple was completely ruined.
At this thought, Yu Xiaogang almost fainted from anger.
He racked his brains, desperately trying to justify himself:
"I just want to take Xiao San as my disciple.
He has a calm personality and is qualified to inherit all that I've learned in my life.
As for whether he's willing to follow the path I've planned, I'll warn him of the dangers beforehand!"
"Yes, yes, yes, tell Xiao San when it's too late, how could he refuse?"
Gula simply nodded, but it completely broke Yu Xiaogang's defenses.
He considered how to refute her, but deep down he felt he might do exactly what Gula said.
This made him feel like he was being led by the nose by Gula, and he became increasingly furious.
He finally realized something was wrong and glared at Gula: "You know me?"
Gula spread his hands: "The name of the Grandmaster is renowned."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang knew he had misjudged her.
Putting aside Tang San, Gula was not the clueless fledgling he had imagined about the Soul Master world.
His wishful thinking had been wasted.
He completely ignored Gula and shamelessly spoke to Tang San:
"Tang San, you should have your own thoughts and not be led by others.
I do have my own selfish motives and want you to help me prove my theory, but I have absolutely no intention of harming you."
"Even if you don't want to become my disciple, I have more books in my dormitory than the academy does.
You can go and read and study anytime. I welcome you anytime."
After saying this, Yu Xiaogang's courage ran out.
He was too ashamed to stay any longer, so he left his spirit certificate and hurriedly returned to the teachers' dormitory.
Tang San watched Yu Xiaogang's dejected figure.
He could indeed feel Yu Xiaogang's sincerity, but he couldn't bear to part with the books Yu Xiaogang had mentioned.
He knew too little about the spirit master world and didn't want to rely on Gula forever. This was Tang San's principle in life; he always trusted himself and wouldn't change it easily.
He turned to Gula and asked,
"Brother Gula, what should I do?"
Gula looked at Tang San and saw that Tang San had already made up his mind. It has to be said that Yu Xiaogang was very good at judging people.
Tang San couldn't resist his temptation.
A large number of books were the best way for Tang San, who lacked a sense of security, to understand the world.
If he had strongly opposed it, Tang San might have agreed, but what if Tang San needed the knowledge but didn't know it in the future?
Would he resent Gula for meddling and preventing him?
The answer was obvious.
Tang San didn't have the original story's memories, so the one who would blame him wouldn't be Yu Xiaogang, but Gula.
Gula chuckled inwardly.
The superpower training was quite effective; his ability to read people had improved considerably.
He hid his inner thoughts and smiled, "Of course I'll go.
Why not take a free benefit?"
"Master Yu Xiaogang, a fifty-year-old waste who's only level twenty-nine.
After reading his book, when you become a powerful Soul Master, you can easily repay him with a little effort. Don't feel burdened."
Tang San only then learned Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power level, and the filter of intellectualism that had just appeared in his heart began to crack slightly.
"Brother Gula, you're right.
A true man doesn't concern himself with trifles; he repays kindness.
I believe I'll be able to repay Master in the future."
Gula nodded.
"Do as you say.
I'll support you from behind."
Tang San felt Gula's concern and trust, deeply moved, and nodded emphatically, "Okay."
The two reached a consensus, went to the teaching office to register, and headed to the work-study student dormitory.
Notting Academy is large, and the dormitory area is even larger.
Even the part-time students who don't pay tuition live in Dormitory 7, which occupies an area of 300 square meters.
There are no partitions in the dormitory, but the spaciousness is enough for everyone to retain a certain amount of privacy and space for cultivation.
Gula and Tang San went to buy bedding first.
When they arrived outside Dormitory 7, they heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside.
Tang San frowned, and his body instinctively tensed up.
Bang!
Gula didn't care about anything else and kicked open the door of Dormitory 7.
He saw a girl with a delicate and cute face, smugly stepping on another boy.
"Have you given up yet?"
The girl's name was Xiao Wu.
She was a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit in human form.
She liked to recruit followers and was conducting a challenge to change the leader of Dormitory 7.
The original leader of Dormitory 7, Wang Sheng, was very sensible.
He lay on the floor and begged for mercy, saying, "I give up, I give up.
Sister Xiao Wu will be our new leader of Dormitory 7 from now on!"
"Call her leader quickly!"
Wang Sheng urged the part-time students.
"Boss." "Boss."
Xiao Wu reveled in the repeated calls of "Boss," waving her hand dismissively.
"Boss doesn't sound good. From now on, call me Big Sister, understand?"
"Understood, Big Sister."
Wang Sheng immediately changed his address, looking at the newly arrived Gula and Tang San.
"Newcomers, come over and greet Big Sister."
