Chapter 212: The Thoroughly Brainwashed Tang San, Qian Xunji: That Blond Brat Needs a Beating!
The next day.
Gangzi called Tang San to his bedroom.
"Teacher, do you have any instructions for your disciple?"
The moment he arrived, Tang San instinctively asked.
However, when he saw Yu Xiaogang's appearance, he froze on the spot.
Then, Tang San desperately suppressed the corners of his mouth that were trying to curl upward.
After all, very few people in this world could keep a straight face after seeing Gangzi turned into a pig head.
Anyone who could remain completely expressionless was practically a godlike being.
After quite a while...
Tang San finally managed to suppress the laughter in his heart.
As a disciple, he absolutely couldn't openly laugh at his teacher.
Naturally, Gangzi noticed the change in Tang San's expression.
But when he thought about Tang San's twin top-tier martial souls...
He didn't blame Tang San too much.
"Xiao San, I called you here today because I want to discuss your second martial soul."
The moment those words fell...
Silence filled the room.
A trace of killing intent flashed through Tang San's eyes as he looked at Gangzi, but it quickly disappeared.
Now that the secret of his twin martial souls had been exposed, his first instinct was to silence him forever.
He had almost forgotten.
The pig-headed man before him was his teacher.
As pure and noble as he was, how could he personally murder his own teacher?
"Teacher, how did you figure it out?"
After calming himself down, Tang San finally asked, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Xiao San, you've still underestimated the power of theory."
"For quite some time now, I've suspected you possessed a second martial soul. I only confirmed it yesterday."
Gangzi stood with his hands behind his back and once again began fooling Tang San.
The reason he wanted to put on such an impressive display was to establish absolute authority in Tang San's eyes.
Otherwise, when it came time to obtain the second soul ring, this disciple of his would definitely question him again.
Hearing that Gangzi had deduced it through theory alone, Tang San was completely stunned.
'Could it be... my teacher really is a grandmaster of theory?'
'Was the first soul ring incident just an accident?'
Tang San couldn't help but question his own judgment.
Ever since the disaster of his first soul ring a few days ago...
He had lost trust in Gangzi. He had even planned to obtain his second soul ring by himself rather than listen to Gangzi's advice.
Seeing Tang San's expression of utter disbelief after being shocked by him, Gangzi was overjoyed.
It seemed that after today, this disciple would obediently follow everything he said.
"Alright, Xiao San. Hurry and summon your second martial soul so your teacher can take a look. That way, I can properly plan your future path as a soul master."
Gangzi urged Tang San to release his martial soul.
"Yes, Teacher. I'll summon my second martial soul right away."
Soon...
A tiny pitch-black hammer appeared in Tang San's right hand.
With his pig-headed face, Gangzi pretended to carefully examine Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer.
"Xiao San, don't casually attach soul rings to your second martial soul."
"Now that I've seen your second martial soul, I've already replanned your future cultivation path."
"First, your Man-Faced Spider Emperor martial soul can follow the control route, while your second martial soul, the black hammer, can follow the assault route."
"Originally, I planned for your first martial soul to develop along both the control and assault paths. But since you possess twin martial souls, your first martial soul can focus entirely on control."
"This way, you'll possess both ultimate control and ultimate offensive power in the future."
"When the time comes to obtain soul rings, just listen to your teacher. I'll help you become one of the strongest."
With his swollen pig-headed face, Gangzi patted Tang San on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.
At this moment, all doubts vanished from Tang San's heart.
"Teacher, I'll listen to everything you say."
Since Teacher Yu Xiaogang could even see through the secret of his twin martial souls...
Then his theories must naturally be correct.
All Tang San had to do was blindly follow his teacher's advice.
"Good, good, good. Since Xiao San trusts me so much, I definitely won't disappoint you."
After completely earning Tang San's trust...
Gangzi changed the subject and continued manipulating Tang San.
"By the way, Xiao San, from now on, I'll provide you with resources that can speed up your cultivation."
"For your future, I've poured an enormous amount of effort into you. Don't disappoint your teacher, and make sure to repay me well in the future."
Hearing this, Tang San respected Gangzi even more.
Once he became stronger, he would definitely help his teacher break through to rank 30.
"Teacher, I definitely won't let you down."
"Good, good, good. As expected of my good disciple."
...
From that day onward, Tang San's cultivation proceeded entirely according to Gangzi's plans.
However, the cultivation plans Gangzi prepared for Tang San consisted either of inefficient training or training that damaged the body's future potential.
Nothing seemed unusual in the short term.
Only after Tang San reached higher realms in the future would he realize just how much trouble Gangzi's guidance had caused him.
Spirit City, Angel Hall.
This was Qian Renxue's personal cultivation palace.
When soul masters with the Angel martial soul meditated and cultivated here, their cultivation speed increased by fifty percent.
With such an exceptional cultivation environment, any ordinary Angel martial soul user would have eagerly begun cultivating without wasting a single second.
But Qian Renxue was different.
Seated in the center of Angel Hall, Qian Renxue held a novel she had borrowed from the Snow Empress and read it with great interest.
As she read, she occasionally let out a silly smile while a faint blush spread across her cheeks.
Meanwhile...
Two figures stood in the distance, quietly observing her every move.
"Yuan'er, do you think our Xue'er is sick? Why is she smiling foolishly while reading a book?"
Qian Xunji looked at the unusual Qian Renxue with deep concern.
"Xunji, can't you tell? Our Xue'er has fallen in love."
"Simply put, she has someone she likes."
Ling Yuan explained.
As a man, Qian Xunji might not understand Qian Renxue's condition.
But she was both a woman and Qian Renxue's mother.
No one understood her own daughter better than she did.
The moment she witnessed that scene, she instantly understood what was in Qian Renxue's heart.
"What?!"
"Who could possibly have caught our Xue'er's eye?!"
"And don't let me find out which bastard dares to pursue our Xue'er."
"If I do, I'll break that bastard's legs. This is infuriating!"
Qian Xunji said angrily.
As a father, the thing he hated most in this life was blond-haired punks.
The kind trying to steal away his precious daughter.
"Sigh, Xunji. Matters of the heart should be left for our daughter to handle herself. As her parents, we shouldn't interfere too much."
Unlike the furious father, Qian Xunji...
Ling Yuan, as her mother, had no intention of making things difficult for her daughter's future boyfriend.
"Absolutely not. Xue'er's personality is far too innocent. What if she gets tricked?"
"As her father, I have to carefully examine him. If that bastard wants to become Xue'er's boyfriend, he has to earn my approval first."
"Otherwise, not a chance."
