Chapter 14 The Spirit Hall's methods of winning people over are despicable.
The day after Xiao Wu returned, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang also returned to Notting Academy.
Yang Yuan caught a glimpse of the two from afar.
The two looked travel-worn, with Yu Xiaogang covered in bruises, his face deathly pale, and his arms wrapped in bandages.
Clearly, their trip was far from peaceful.
Tang San noticed Yang Yuan's gaze, looked at him, and his face was full of energy, which was completely opposite to Yu Xiaogang's state.
Upon seeing this, Yang Yuan couldn't help but stroke his chin.
Xiao Wu had the same expression when she came back yesterday.
Oh no, Xiao Wu's expression was even more flamboyant.
But after being won over by Yang Yuan with virtue, he is now much more obedient, calling Yang Yuan "boss" and being extremely well-behaved.
Thinking of this, Yang Yuan couldn't help but grin and rub his hands together, eager to get started.
He had a premonition that he would soon have another free punching bag.
Yu Xiaogang noticed Tang San's gaze and followed it, also seeing Yang Yuan in the distance.
But he only glanced at it before calmly looking away.
"Little mistress, I heard you say before that Yang Yuan defeated you using his eye-based martial spirit?"
"Yes, teacher."
"I've embarrassed you."
Tang San looked ashamed.
"Haha, what's so shameful about that?"
"You had just become my disciple at that time, and I hadn't taught you anything yet. If you lost, you lost."
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand dismissively.
After listening to his teacher's words of comfort, Tang San also put away the ashamed expression on his face and asked in confusion:
"Teacher, what kind of martial soul do you think Yang Yuan's eyes should be considered?"
"You once told me that martial souls are divided into weapon martial souls and beast martial souls, and my Blue Silver Grass is considered a weapon martial soul."
"But Yang Yuan's martial soul is his eye, so should it be considered a beast martial soul or a weapon martial soul?"
Upon hearing Tang San's question, Yu Xiaogang remained calm and composed, a wise smile appearing on his face.
"Hey, have you forgotten what I told you? The biggest difference between beast spirits and weapon spirits is their form of expression, isn't it?"
"All weapon spirits work outside the body, while beast spirits add the power of a beast to the user."
"Now, tell me, does Yang Yuan have a beast-type martial soul or a weapon-type martial soul?"
Tang San suddenly realized.
"I see. So Yang Yuan's eye martial soul is also a type of beast martial soul."
Yu Xiaogang smiled with satisfaction, displaying an expression of someone who was teachable, and continued to add to the story.
"That's right, and if I'm not mistaken, Yang Yuan's martial soul is the result of a mutation of some kind of beast martial soul."
"Most martial soul mutations are reverse mutations, like my martial soul Luo Sanpao."
At this point, a strong sense of resentment flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
If his martial soul hadn't mutated into a useless martial soul like Luo Sanpao, he should be shining brightly now.
Tang San noticed the disappointment in Yu Xiaogang's eyes and immediately encouraged him:
"Teacher, don't be discouraged. Have you forgotten what you told me?"
"There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters!"
These words instantly ignited Yu Xiaogang's fighting spirit.
He looked at Tang San with great enthusiasm, his eyes sparkling.
"Mistress, you're right."
"Your teacher will definitely train you to become the strongest person in the entire continent, and then announce it to the world."
"You are my disciple, Yu Xiaogang!"
"I, Yu Xiaogang, have trained the strongest person on the continent!"
After listening, Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang with admiration.
"teacher!"
"The other woman!"
Their eyes met, and their bromance was palpable.
"Huh~"
Yang Yuan watched this scene from afar, and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
I've just realized that looking too far away isn't a good thing!
This is so offensive!
These two are simply a case of "a turtle eyeing a green bean"—they've fallen for each other.
Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.
Upon entering, Yu Xiaogang was completely unaware of any intrusion by outsiders.
Thanks to Yang Yuan's keen insight with his double pupils, he left no flaws.
Walking to a desk and sitting down, Yu Xiaogang continued his eloquent speech.
"Mistress, according to you, Yang Yuan's eyes have extremely strong insight, and his strength and speed far exceed yours at the same level."
"That's not surprising."
"After all, beast spirits can be attached to oneself, so one's physical strength is naturally stronger than that of a spirit master of the same level."
"However, he can only have an advantage over you before you obtain a spirit ring."
"Even if he manages to absorb a hundred-year-old soul ring by sheer luck, he still won't be a match for you."
Tang San asked with a puzzled look, "Teacher, why is that?"
"Yang Yuan was stronger than me even before he absorbed a spirit ring. If we both absorb a hundred-year spirit ring, I'm afraid I might not be his match."
Yu Xiaogang chuckled softly and shook his head firmly.
"You wouldn't understand, mistress."
"Control-type Soul Masters are strongest in one-on-one combat until they encounter a Soul Master that counters them!"
"That's why I dare to say that from now on, Yang Yuan will no longer be your match."
"And now they are no match for you, but once you start cultivating your second martial soul, this gap will widen infinitely."
"I see." Tang San suddenly realized, and a look of surprise and delight arose in his heart.
He had previously feared that even after obtaining his first spirit ring, he would still be no match for Yang Yuan.
But now that his teacher had said those words, he felt much more at ease.
It can't be that unlucky, that Yang Yuan's martial spirit can just happen to be able to restrain me, right?
Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.
He had previously lost to Yang Yuan and was forced to call him "boss".
This matter had always made Tang San feel extremely aggrieved, and he always wanted to get revenge.
But given Yang Yuan's strength, Tang San originally had no intention of making a move rashly.
However, with his teacher's assurance, Tang San felt he could give it a try.
This time, he will definitely win!
Afterwards, Tang San stayed in Yu Xiaogang's dormitory for a while before preparing to return to Dormitory 7.
Before leaving, Yu Xiaogang seemed to suddenly remember something and called out to Tang San.
"Teacher, is there anything else?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
"I almost forgot to tell you something."
"Go to the Spirit Hall in Notting City tomorrow to register. That way you can receive one gold spirit coin every month."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up.
"Is there really such a good thing?"
"No wonder the Spirit Hall is so revered by the common people; there's a reason for it!"
As soon as Tang San finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang suddenly sneered, his face full of disdain.
"Don't be fooled by appearances, mistress."
"No one knows the Spirit Hall's tyranny and hypocrisy better than I do."
"The subsidies that the Spirit Hall issues to the Spirit Masters are all paid for by the two great empires; the Spirit Hall just distributes them on their behalf."
Is this even possible?
Tang San was taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously said, "But the Spirit Hall sends deacons to the countryside every year to awaken the common people."
Yu Xiaogang sneered after hearing this.
"These are just tactics used by the Spirit Hall to win people over."
"Neither of the two great empires did this, yet the Spirit Hall is overstepping its bounds. What is it trying to do?"
"Does the Spirit Hall still respect the two great empires?"
"In my opinion, the Spirit Hall's actions..."
"His intentions are despicable!"
