9. Humiliating Yu Xiaogang

Tang San quickly made up his mind. He knelt down on both knees and bowed three times "Please, Take me as your disciple!"

Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed to see this.

He quickly helped Tang San to his feet "Xiao San, Remember, you shouldn't kneel easily. You should only kneel to the Heavens and to your Parents!"

Tang San replied sincerely "A Teacher for a day is a Father for life. It's only right that I bow to you!"

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, good, good, good!"

[As Expected, Tang San Ultimately Accepted Yu Xiaogang As His Master. But Here's A Classic Moment : Tang San Basically Acknowledged Him As A Father, Too!]

[It Makes Sense, Though. In This World, There Isn't Such A Strong Concept Of 'A Teacher For A Day Is A Father For Life' But Tang San's Used To Live In An Ancient Martial World Where Taking A Master Was A Very Serious Matter.]

[As For Me, I Have Seen Many Realms, So Such Concepts Don't Really Have A Deep Impact On Me.]

[This World Is Too Ancient. In This World, One Can Only Take One Master. Disrespecting Or Betraying One's Master Is Something That Would Lead To Scorn From The Society, Leaving Behind A Legacy Of Shame.]

The Female leads and The Supporting Female leads agreed with Lin Fan's words. In their world, taking a master was indeed a lifelong commitment. Betraying one's master was a grave offense.

However, The thought of Tang San calling Yu Xiaogang 'Father' was bizzare. He had just considered killing him after all.

After accepting Tang San, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze toward Lin Fan.

Having just accepted a prodigy, Yu Xiaogang was in an excellent mood. But Lin Fan also had Innate Full Soul Power and a rare Dragon Martial Soul, he was also a talent. Yu Xiaogang believed that with his guidance, Lin Fan might unlock the Full Potential of his Dragon Martial Soul.

If Lin Fan knew what Yu Xiaogang was thinking, he would laugh inwardly : Thanks, but no thanks.

Yu Xiaogang smiled and asked "Lin Fan, would you like to take me as your Master? I can help you become stronger!"

Tang San wasn't very familiar with Lin Fan, but he still chimed in, "Yes, Lin Fan, You should accept Teacher as your Master. You've seen his Knowledge on Theory."

Tang San's suggestion wasn't out of kindness. He simply didn't want Lin Fan to expose the secret of his Twin Martial Souls.

If Lin Fan became Yu Xiaogang's disciple, they would be fellow disciples, and Tang San could position himself as Lin Fan's senior.

Lin Fan, being 6 Years Old, would likely be easy to control. Tang San believed that with some maneuvering, Lin Fan would never reveal his secret.

[Haha, I Didn't Expect Yu Xiaogang Want To Take Me As His Disciple. I Know Yu Xiaogang Too Well. Plus, With The System On My Side, Regaining My Strength Is Only A Matter Of Time. There's No Way I'd Accept Him As My Master!]

[Watch How I Turn Him Down!]

Lin Fan activated the live-stream function of his Diary. A feature he had just discovered. It allowed him to live-stream and it was incredibly handy!

Some moments can't be described in words, recording them is far more satisfying.

Instantly, a new rule appeared in the Diary.

[New Rule: The Female Leads And The Supporting Female Leads Who Watch Lin Fan's Live Stream Will Receive A Basic Random Reward, The Reward Will Be Distributed At Midnight Along With Other Rewards.]

The Female leads and The Supporting Female leads were ecstatic. They loved it! This Diary was amazing!

Today's Diary entry have been about Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, Lin Fan haven't mentioned a single Female lead or Supporting Female lead today!

Xiao Wu: That might change. I'll meet Lin Fan soon. He'll definitely write about me in his Diary.

The Female leads and The Supporting Female leads wished Lin Fan would broadcast Daily.

In this way, They'd receive live-stream Rewards Daily! However, that was probably unrealistic. They could only hope Lin Fan would record frequently.

Back at Nuoding Academy.

Lin Fan said "Master, What you said really resonated with me. 'There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters.'"

Lin Fan didn't refuse Yu Xiaogang outright.

Yu Xiaogang nodded confidently "Exactly! If you work hard, You'll achieve great things. Just like Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass can grow to the level of a Titled Douluo through my Theoretical guidance."

Since the live-stream was on, The Female leads and The Supporting Female leads could clearly see Yu Xiaogang, Tang San and Lin Fan.

The Female leads and The Supporting Female leads were all curious about what Lin Fan looked like.

They saw an Unparalleled Handsome Young Boy with refined features. He had Silver-White Hair and Golden Eyes. In Front of him was a Middle-Aged Man with stubble.

Beside the Middle-Aged Man stood a 6 Year Old Boy with Dark Blue Hair. The Boy was somewhat thin. This must be Tang San.

Their attention was entirely on Lin Fan. What a Good-Looking Boy!

Lin Fan aaked naively "Since You're so Knowledgeable, Can you tell me your Soul Power level? If your Theory is so strong, you must be powerful, right?"

Yu Xiaogang's smile Froze. He thought he could trick Lin Fan into becoming his disciple, but Lin Fan wasn't as gullible as he expected!

The Female leads and The Supporting Female leads were eager to hear Yu Xiaogang's Response.

Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong on the other hand sneered.

They now knew everything about him. From his Past to Future. They thoroughly understood his true nature.

He never cared about them, all he wanted was to get rid of the title 'Trash'.

Back at Nuoding Academy.

"Ahem, I'm a Theory Master, so my strength isn't that high," Yu Xiaogang replied awkwardly.

Lin Fan pressed on "If your strength isn't high, How did you develop your Theories? Even though I haven't enrolled yet, I know that many Theories require the Soul Masters to have their own strong foundation. Master, Do you come from a powerful background? Do you have strong Soul Masters helping you with your research?"

[Haha, I Can't Wait To See How This So-called Theory Master Responds. That Line About There Being No Useless Martial Souls, Only Useless Soul Masters, Is Pure Nonsense! Isn't He A Rank 29 Trash Himself.]

[Unless You Have Heavenly Resources, Your Innate Soul Power Sets Your Limits.]

Yu Xiaogang hadn't expected the naive looking Lin Fan to be so sharp. Feeling cornered, he replied "Although my strength isn't impressive, I used to be a part of the Martial Soul Hall. I had access to their data, which I organized into my core theories."

Lin Fan immediately responded "So most of your theories were copied from the Martial Soul Hall? Is that what makes you a 'Theory Master? You just took Martial Soul Hall's research and organized it into your own work?"

"Forget it. I don't need a Master. I'll just study at the academy. Goodbye, Master."

With that, Lin Fan turned around and left. He was going to visit the dormitory now.

Yu Xiaogang stood there, embarrassed and speechless. Not only had Lin Fan rejected him, but he had also humiliated him in the process.

Yu Xiaogang wanted to say something, but he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Tang San. He still needed him to verify some of his Theories.

So, Yu Xiaogang only let out a cold snort before smiling at Tang San "Xiao San, Lin Fan refusing to be my disciple is his loss. With your talent, you'll surpass him in no time. When that happens, help your teacher slap his face!"

Tang San nodded his head "Teacher. Don't worry. It's Lin Fan's loss for not accepting you as his Naster."

Through the conversation between Lin Fan and Yu Xiaogang, Tang San realized that much of his Teacher's Theories came from the Martial Soul Hall. But so what?

Regardless of where Yu Xiaogang's Theories came from, the fact that he had figured out Tang San's Twin Martial Souls proves that he isn't just a simple theorist. His theories will help Tang San learn more about this continent, so becoming Yu Xiaogang's disciple wasn't a loss. It was actually beneficial.

Meanwhile, as Lin Fan walked toward the Dormitory, he could barely contain his laughter. Humiliating Yu Xiaogang felt incredibly satisfying.

The Female leads and The Supporting Female leads had different reactions.

Ning Rongrong, The Young Princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, had grown up in wealth and was doted on by her father, Ning Fengzhi, and her two powerful grandfathers, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. Because of this, she knew a lot.

Ning Rongrong found Yu Xiaogang's behavior disgraceful. Normally, if someone took a theory from elsewhere and refined it, they would have to cite their sources and give credit.

She had heard her father mention Yu Xiaogang before. While her father had acknowledged him as a theory master, there wasn't much respect in his tone. Perhaps this was why.

It was just a guess on her part, but she couldn't say for sure.

[Haha, Today Was Great! It Felt So Good To Make That Scumbag Yu Xiaogang Lose Face. Almost All His Theories Came From The Martial Soul Hall, And Yet He Claims He 'Organized' Them. How Shameless! Moreover, He Still Wants To Take This Great God As His Disciple. Dream On!]

[Not Only He Copied Martial Soul Hall's theories. He Even Published Them As If They Were His Own, Making The Common People Regard Him As A Genius. That's How He Became The Continent's Best Theory Master.]

[Did He Really Believe That He Was The Only Smart Person On The Continent? Does He Think The People In Other Sects And Martial Soul Hall Are Idiots?]

[Any Skilled Soul Master With A Bit Of Intelligence Could Infer The Validity Of These Theories Through Their Own Experiences. The Continent's Sects Are Filled With Powerful Figures. They Already Knew These Things?]

[For Example, The Idea That Innate Soul Power Is Proportional To The Quality Of One's Martial Soul, Or That Even Without Adding A Soul Ring, Soul Masters Can Still Cultivate Past Certain Bottlenecks. Most Of The Top Sects Already Knew This. Did They Need Yu Xiaogang To Research And Organize It?]

[The Major Sects Kept These Theories To Themselves To Attract Talented Individuals And Train Their Own People. This Was One Way They Maintained A Gap Between Their Members And The Common Folk. This Is The Advantage Of Information.]

[But Bibi Dong Was Foolish Enough To Believe Yu Xiaogang. She Thought That He Was A Genius. She Was So Infatuated That She Even Wanted To Leave Martial Soul Hall With Him. I Swear, Love Makes People Irrational!]

Ning Rongrong, who was reading the Diary, began to understand why her father had spoken of Yu Xiaogang with little respect, despite calling him a theory master. So this is the reason!
