Chapter 5 - Preparing to Head to the Star Dou Great Forest

"Where is Tang San from your class?"Yu Xiaogang's tone carried a hint of interrogation. Without Tang San, what was the point of him going through all that trouble to ask the principal for this class? This was meant to show off in front of Tang San! If the person didn't even show up, who was he showing off to?"Grandmaster, I heard that Tang San's teacher is also a teacher at Notting Academy, and he can teach Tang San individually.""What?! This is simply against the rules. How can a teacher give individual lessons?"Yu Xiaogang's eyes turned bloodshot. His world-shaking wisdom and theories should be appreciated by a genius with twin spirits like Tang San. Yet, you're telling him that the boy doesn't even have to show up?"Class dismissed!"Yu Xiaogang hurriedly ended the class and strode toward the principal's office."Principal, on what grounds does that person get to teach Tang San individually? We are all part of the same academy, you cannot give special treatment!"Walking up to the principal's office door, Yu Xiaogang slightly straightened his somewhat messy black scholar's robe. Without even knocking, he walked straight inside, pointed at the principal, and began demanding answers."Are you questioning me? Although this child Tang San's Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, he possesses innate full spirit power. His teacher's Spirit is also Blue Silver Grass, and he is even a Spirit Emperor expert!""Tell me, what do you have that can compare to him?""I—I have my invincible theories, the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls! This knowledge is unmatched on the continent. Only I can change his Blue Silver Grass!"The principal didn't bother to say much more. This Yu Xiaogang was practically obsessed. Usually, he acted so proud and haughty, looking down on everyone, but it turned out he was also the type who couldn't look away when he saw a genius."I won't interfere in this matter. If you want Tang San to take you as his teacher, go challenge Mr. Tang Chuan instead of complaining to me here. Please leave.""Humph!"Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang could only let out a cold snort and exit the office.The principal of Notting Academy was a level forty-two Spirit Ancestor, making him an expert in Nuoding City. If it hadn't been for his slight friendship with Yu Xiaogang, he wouldn't have been so easy to talk to just now."Tang Chuan, is it? Just you wait. This Grandmaster will wait until you ruin Tang San's first spirit ring. When that time comes, I will step in and take him under my wing!"At this moment, Tang San and Tang Chuan had already gone their separate ways.Since he had individual lessons, his roommates had not yet returned when he got back to Dormitory Seven.Sitting on his bed, Tang San's eyes were full of anticipation. In a few days, he would become a true Spirit Master. Just thinking about it made him happy.What's more, he would be going with his godfather. When the time came, he had to find a way to figure out what was going on with Tang Hao!"If Tang Hao is truly as I suspect, then he has found his path to demise!"Creak!The door opened, and it was Xiao Wu and the others returning.Upon seeing Tang San, everyone except Xiao Wu—especially Wang Sheng—had eyes full of envy and admiration.Tang San had just entered the academy and was already able to take such a powerful and handsome man as his teacher. This luck made him practically the chosen one. They had heard that Tang San's teacher was not only handsome but also a man even stronger than the principal.In Nuoding City, the strongest people they had ever heard of, besides the city lord, were the principal of Notting Academy.If they could also have such a powerful teacher, they would probably wake up laughing in their dreams."Tang San, that big brother this morning is your teacher, so what's his name?"Wang Sheng didn't approach. Xiao Wu was a girl and so pretty, so he didn't feel he had the right to ask Tang San himself."Hmm?"A cold light flashed in Tang San's eyes. This Xiao Wu looked like a standard beauty in the making, but who would have thought she actually had her eyes on his godfather?Damn you, Xiao Wu, does your mother know you're so scheming?If his godfather hadn't told him beforehand to get along well with his roommates, he wouldn't have lent a set of bedding to Xiao Wu on the very first day.Feeling reluctant deep down, Tang San planned to just brush her off."If you want to know my teacher's name, why don't you go ask him yourself? And Xiao Wu, I advise you not to casually approach my teacher!"A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Wu actually saw killing intent in them. Were human cubs nowadays so fierce that they would flash killing intent at the drop of a hat?Xiao Wu subconsciously took a step back. Since Tang San was unwilling to say and even had such a terrible attitude, she would just have to wait for Tang Chuan to come next time and ask him in person."Well, alright then. I'll ask him myself next time."Xiao Wu turned and left, returning to her own bed.Tang San had originally felt a bit smug seeing her drop the idea, but hearing her last sentence, his composure instantly shattered."Next time? You actually want a next time?"Damn you, Xiao Wu, you really do have ulterior motives. My godfather is not only powerful, but his appearance is also like a celestial being. You're just a measly working-student, what right do you have to get close to my godfather!"It seems I need to put Hidden Weapons like Sleeve Arrows on my agenda sooner, otherwise Godfather will definitely get annoyed."Early the next morning, Tang San got up early and waited at the door of Tang Chuan's dormitory. As long as he took the initiative to find his godfather, Xiao Wu wouldn't have any chance to get close!"Little San? You're really early today.""It's not early, Godfather. When are we going to obtain my spirit ring?"Tang Chuan looked at the surrounding morning mist. The sun hadn't even risen yet. He had only gotten up this early to cultivate his Purple Demon Eye.But since Tang San was already here, they might as well set off immediately.The two of them left Notting Academy and boarded a carriage bound for the Star Dou Great Forest."Godfather, do you know about Little San's biological father, Tang Hao?"On the carriage, Tang San cautiously glanced at Tang Chuan and spoke with an anxious heart."Oh? Yes, I know. Your father is a Titled Douluo, known on the continent as the Clear Sky Douluo!""A Titled Douluo?!"Tang San's eyes widened. Thanks to Tang Chuan's explanation, he now knew about the cultivation realms of the Douluo Continent—exactly nine in total, which perfectly corresponded to the nine tiers of his Mysterious Heaven Skill."Then... then why did he...?"Tang San's eyes turned red, tears welling up at the edges of his eyelids, looking like a wronged young wife.The man he had been taking care of ever since he could remember, his father, was actually a Titled Douluo?"Who knows? But Little San, since you have taken me as your godfather, your foster father will never let you suffer any grievances.""Godfather!"Only now did Tang San understand that his godfather, Tang Chuan, was indeed not his biological father—after all, the difference in their appearances was far too vast—whereas Tang Hao was. However, Tang Hao's various actions chilled Tang San to the bone.A Titled Douluo, yet he acted like a giant infant all day long, never giving even a shred of proper fatherly love. Tang San was certain that if he hadn't awakened twin spirits, Tang Hao probably wouldn't even have bothered to give him that brief hug."Little San, remember, no matter what you do, your godfather will always stand by your side. You must remain steadfast in your heart!"
