Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.

Chapter 118 Tang San has a new idea, Xiao Wu is forced to stay by Tang Hao
Tang San finally came to Yu Xiaogang's room with a lot of questions.

"Teacher..." He pushed open the door and opened his mouth, but didn't know how to start.

"Ok?"

Yu Xiaogang, who was writing and drawing with a pen and paper and looked very worried, seemed to have just noticed Tang San's arrival. He looked up, revealing a pair of deep dark circles under his eyes and a somewhat weak old face. After discovering that the person coming was Tang San, he forced a smile: "It's Xiao San, what's wrong, is there anything?"

After seeing the teacher's haggard face, Tang San couldn't help but feel a blockage in his heart, and the resentment in his heart also dissipated a lot. He shook his head and asked: "My first thing is not urgent, teacher, what are you doing? You look like you are very tired."

Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "You just got your second spirit ring, didn't you? I was thinking, after 'Entangle' and 'Parasite', what would be a good third spirit skill to choose, and how to form a better combination with the first two spirit skills. I've been thinking about it until now."

Tang San widened his eyes slightly, feeling touched: "Teacher..."

"Ha ha!"

Yu Xiaogang smiled happily: "Xiao San, there is no need to act so sentimental. It is my wish to train you to be a useful person. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I am willing to do it. You don't have to feel uneasy or sorry about it."

Under normal circumstances, this kind of emotional offensive would have moved Tang San to the point of being at a loss.

However, perhaps because he had just been enlightened and stimulated by You Xing, Tang San returned to the main topic and said, "Teacher, actually just now, I had another sparring match with You Xing..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face changed immediately.

When he saw the gloomy expression on Tang San's face when he came in, he knew without thinking that Tang San...had lost again!
Yu Xiaogang quickly put on a serious look and said, "Xiao San, have you forgotten what I told you? Beast Soul Masters have an advantage over Weapon Soul Masters in the early stages! Just because your Blue Silver Grass can't restrict Youxing now doesn't mean it won't be able to restrict him in the future. The most important thing is--"

Yu Xiaogang slapped her thigh fiercely and said with a smile: "You have twin martial spirits!"

Twin martial souls!

Hearing this four-word mantra, Tang San raised his eyebrows. This kid had completely broken free from Yu Xiaoang's gentle offensive just now.

He suddenly asked, "Teacher, what do you think of Blue Silver Grass going for the auxiliary system? Is it possible?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned, her heart tightened: "Has Xiaosan been hit so hard by Youxing that he has completely lost his confidence?"

He immediately said in a deep voice: "Xiao San, Blue Silver Grass is definitely the most suitable for the control system! Don't doubt your path just because of one or two failures!"

This time, Tang San was completely disappointed.

His eyes were dim, and he thought to himself: 'He didn't even do an analysis. It seems that the teacher is obsessed with the control system and doesn't even think about other directions.'

In fact, Yu Xiaogang’s training of Tang San is very similar to the second editor of the protagonist in the comics "Dream Eater" or "Bakuman".

The second editor liked funny comics himself, so he tried his best to develop the protagonist into a funny comic, and then overdrawn the protagonist's youth. Some readers even called it a training for the protagonist, and today's setbacks became stepping stones for the protagonist's future success.

But in fact... without this setback, the protagonist might have gone more smoothly and achieved his goal earlier.

The protagonist's growth is not due to his conscious guidance, but because of his unconscious hindrance. In real life, such people have caused countless people to lose the possibility of development, but it is not shown in the work.

A teacher doesn't teach well in class, and only teaches what he likes. The protagonist is able to study on his own and get into Tsinghua University or Peking University, so he should thank the teacher for giving him the opportunity to study on his own? And others who can't get into university and can only go out to work are not talented? That's not the truth, right?
This kind of person, regardless of his character, is pure trash. He can't even do his job well but still likes to point fingers. What's even more disgusting is that after others succeed, they jump out and say that they have made great contributions.

Yu Xiaogang is a typical example of this type of person.

You see, his initial idea was to find someone with good talent, and when that person becomes successful, he would consider that as his theoretical achievement! But what is the reality? The reason why Tang San became a god has nothing to do with his theoretical achievements.

In order to verify his own theory, he pushed Tang San in the direction of his own research.

It seems that you are working hard and doing your best, but in reality? You are working in the opposite direction and are just holding back!

Apart from anything else, in this era when theory has evolved after You Chen's arrival, any normal theoretical scholar, even if they don't have Yu Xiaogang's knowledge reserve, can provide Tang San with greater help in theory.

Because they are not as obsessed with proving themselves as Yu Xiaogang. As long as they are middle-aged scholars who have lived through the era before Bibi Dong banned You Chen, they will not mind learning and using some of You Chen's theories.

In a sense, after the world "upgraded", only Tang San's teammates remained standing still, which was equivalent to widening the gap again.

At this moment, after recognizing Yu Xiaogang's true face, Tang San had a new idea.

"Respecting the teacher is respecting the teacher. But how to cultivate the martial spirit is up to you."

Tang San has secretly decided in his heart that from now on, he will deal with Yu Xiaogang on the surface, and then do his own research and go his own way!
He had the same idea as the protagonist of "Dream Eaters" after facing the second editor for a long time.

In fact, in the middle and late stages of the original route, Tang San gradually stopped considering the route given by Yu Xiaogang and focused on his own ideas. Now he just moved the time forward.

But... Tang San puts his own ideas first in advance. Will this definitely lead to the same reversal of the situation as the protagonist of the comic?

Is Tang San's level really enough to make a better choice than Yu Xiaogang's?
If Tang San would really be so successful, You Chen would not have gone to so much trouble to make arrangements.

……

Several days have passed since Youchen Youxing left Notting City.

Xiao Wu's face had lost its usual liveliness and excitement. From time to time, she would squat on the stone pier beside the gate of Notting City and stare blankly.

The atmosphere of loneliness and resentment made several younger brothers, including Dahei, try to find ways to make Xiaowu happy, but in the end it was of no use.

Tang San was originally gloomy, but when he saw Xiao Wu had lost her appetite because of You Xing's departure... he became even gloomier.

Although he really valued Youxing and admired his strength, he just couldn't control the jealousy in his heart.

He could tolerate Xiao Wu punching and kicking him, or all kinds of cold violence, but he couldn't tolerate Xiao Wu's eyes looking at others...

Tang San held such complicated emotions, and ultimately did not step forward to comfort her.

Seeing that all these methods made everyone laugh, they decided not to waste their time and just waited for Xiao Wu to calm herself down.

But Xiao Wu was squatting on the stone pier, and she had already made up her mind to leave.

In the entire Notting City, the two people Xiao Wu considered closest to her left.

Although it was fun to play with Dahei and the others, and I could beat up Xiao Sanzi from time to time to relieve my boredom, but...

"Without Uncle Youchen to cover for me, staying in one place for a long time is not a good thing after all. Maybe someone has noticed my unusual training speed..."

Xiao Wu's initial plan was to travel around the villages in the human world, and her route would be completely random, something she couldn't even guess. In short, try not to stay in the same place for too long.

Now, she is close to the level of a three-ring soul master. Even if she travels in Douluo Continent, she can protect herself in most situations. She already has the ability to set out on a journey.

In addition, we just learned that You Chen and Bibi Dong have a grudge. Who knows when Bibi Dong will send strong men to the place where You Chen has been to check the situation, and if things go wrong, she will directly declare GG.

This further strengthened Xiao Wu's determination to leave.

So, on a dark and windy night, Xiao Wu sneaked out of Notting City without saying goodbye to anyone.

"call……"

Xiao Wu looked at the dark and silent Notting City that was completely immersed in the night. A trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, but it soon turned into determination.

But when she turned around, she suddenly saw a tall figure in a torn robe blocking her way.

Xiao Wu's eyes widened. The characteristics of her martial soul kept sending out strong warnings, but in turn, they brought her even deeper fear. It was like a person who was immobilized by the Soul-Shocking Technique and could not move at all.

At this moment, Xiao Wu has understood——

"This soul master is definitely a powerful human being who can see through my true face!"

"Xiao Wu, don't be afraid." A deep male voice came, and the visitor took off his hood, revealing a weathered and gloomy face.

When Xiao Wu saw this face, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

Then the man said calmly: "I am Xiao San's father, Tang Hao."

Then, he dropped a bombshell on Xiao Wu: "I know you are a soul beast in human form."

'ah? ’

As soon as Tang Hao said this, Xiao Wu's brain went blank.

After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Wu immediately had a thought in her mind: "Am I going to die here?"

"But don't worry, I have no interest in you."

As if he understood Xiao Wu's thoughts, Tang Hao lowered his head, showing a gentle look, and said: "Not only because you are Xiao San's good friend, but also because... my wife is also a soul beast incarnation. And Tang San is a half-human and half soul beast hybrid."

Soul beast hybrid! ?

Xiao Wu was shocked and doubtful at first, but then she couldn't help but feel a little bit of belief.

With Xiao Wu's memory, she did not remember the first time she met Tang San, the sense of closeness she felt because they were both incarnations of soul beasts.

But her brain couldn't remember it, but she had a similar sixth sense to remind her.

"So... I don't have to die?"

Xiao Wu did not completely let down her guard, but when she thought that the strange man in front of her could see through her true identity and was at least a Soul Douluo, she knew that the most important thing for her now was to gain a certain degree of trust from the other party.

Most of the time, establishing a trusting relationship is more important than simply trying to please others and expressing your own will.

Xiao Wu didn't know these theories, but as a female, she instinctively knew roughly what to do.

Xiao Wu asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Tang Hao, why are you coming to see me, or... blocking me here? What is your purpose?"

Tang Hao's eyes were deep, and he said in a low voice: "I hope that you can stay in Notting City, or to be more precise...stay with Xiao San. You should also know the risks of having a transformed soul beast wandering outside. If you stay with Xiao San, I will also protect you from being discovered by those Titled Douluo."

Purpose? What purpose could Tang Hao have? Of course, to assist his son!
Now You Xing followed You Chen away, but this was a great opportunity for his son to attack. As a father, shouldn't he give him a push from behind? How could he let Xiao Wu run away at this time? That would be hopeless!

Tang Hao thought: "This may be one of the few things I can do to make amends to you, Xiao San!"

When Xiao Wu heard this, her body trembled slightly.

Did Xiao Wu just accept Tang Hao's words completely?

How can it be! ?
'He is eyeing my spirit ring and spirit bone for his son!? Is he going to tie me to Tang San and keep me in captivity!? '

Xiao Wu believed that Tang Hao's wife and Tang San's mother were soul beasts.

But this not only did not alleviate her fear and dread of Tang Hao, but instead deepened her fear of Tang Hao!

In Xiao Wu's eyes, Tang Hao is at least a Soul Douluo. Even from what Tang Hao just said confidently that he could protect himself from a Titled Douluo, it is very likely that he is a Titled Douluo!
Then why...from Tang San's mouth, Tang San has never seen his mother since he was a child?

This is a terrifying question when you think about it carefully.

Is there any problem for such a strong person to protect the transformed soul beast until it reaches maturity?

If you have the ability to deal with a strong man of this level, why don't you just hunt down a hundred thousand year old soul beast?

In the end, Xiao Wu didn't dare to ask such a question.

She was afraid that the next second after she opened her mouth, the other party would stop pretending and just turn hostile.

Xiao Wu was so scared that she couldn't control her body trembling, but she still held on, crossed her arms, and made some small movements to cover up her uneasiness. At the same time, she shook her head and said stubbornly: "Humph! Do you think I will believe you if you say that? Who knows if you have any bad intentions towards me! Or, if I insist on leaving, will you stop me?"

Tang Hao didn't say anything, but just stared at Xiao Wu silently, putting pressure on her.

Xiao Wu couldn't hold on any longer. She knew that what she said might have crossed the line a little, so she quickly said, "Okay, I get it. Anyway, I just can't resist."

Seeing Xiao Wu finally give in, Tang Hao managed a smile: "Don't worry, I promise on my reputation as Haotian Douluo that as long as you don't have any ill will towards Xiao San, I will definitely do my best to protect you!"

Rather than forcing Xiao Wu to stay, he would certainly prefer to see Xiao Wu take the initiative to agree to his request.

Hmm? As for whether this initiative was truly proactive? Please - how could Tang Hao figure it out?

Xiao Wu laughed: "Haotian Douluo!? Wow, Uncle Tang Hao, so you are a Titled Douluo? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Since a Titled Douluo guaranteed it with his own name, how could I not believe it? With a big shot like you around, why would I need to worry? Hahaha! Sister Xiao Wu can already imagine the scene of dominating the Douluo Continent in the future and going to any region where she wants to be the boss!"

Tang Hao smiled and nodded: "You and Xiao San will definitely become strong men standing at the top of the continent."

Xiao Wu had never been so impressed with her acting skills. She herself could not have expected that she could perform so brilliantly in the face of the fear of death.

At first glance, Xiao Wu has let down her guard against Tang Hao, but...how is this possible?
Xiao Wu was extremely terrified of this strange man, about whom she only knew his name and no other information.

A Titled Douluo suddenly appeared in a rural place like Notting City. His purpose and origin were unknown, and even his own son knew nothing about him... How could Xiao Wu not be afraid of such a person before he became Tang San's love-brain?
As a result, he was also afraid of Tang San, fearing that if he offended Tang San, he would be punished by Tang Hao, the Titled Douluo.

Xiao Wu wanted to escape, but she knew she didn't have the ability to do so. Without knowing the other party's true intentions, all she could do was to curry favor with him...

At this moment, she couldn't help but miss the person far away.

In addition to her two younger brothers in the Star Dou Great Forest, she also missed You Chen and You Xing more and more, and at the same time regretted that she had taken the initiative to distance herself from You Chen.

……

At the same time, in Wuhun City, inside the Pope's Palace.

"Your Holiness, do you really want to do this?"

The older middle-aged male assistant officer couldn't help but look hesitant.

Bibi Dong said calmly: "Why, are you questioning my decision? Hugh!"

Assistant officer Xu Pu was not like Bai Sha, who was frightened by Bibi Dong's aura and knelt down immediately.

Although he was sweating coldly, he still dutifully expressed his analysis and thoughts, and said seriously: "Your Holiness, you plan to have an open dialogue with the masked killer. This should not be your plan to lure him out and kill him, right?"

Bibi Dong frowned and said, "Do you think I should hide things from you, my trusted followers who are carrying out my orders?"

Hupe shook his head and said seriously, "No. However, if that were the case, wouldn't it be like you were actively giving in to the masked killer to show weakness to the people? With your status, when you showed an equal attitude of willingness to talk, you elevated that despicable killer to a position close to that of the Pope! In a sense, such attention, in the eyes of some people, is 'respect'! You are respecting a killer, a killer who killed countless pillars of the Spirit Hall! Then, how will the deaths of those who were killed by him before be viewed? Countless people will question you!"

Bibi Dong waved her hand and said coldly: "It's just a matter like this. I have made up my mind."

Bibi Dong knew that this behavior might affect her plan to destroy the Spirit Hall.

But...her little anal brother is worth it!
A cold light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

"Masked Killer, I hope you really represent Xiaogang's will, and not a fool who provokes me! Otherwise..."

A soul pressure and murderous intent as heavy as Mount Tai emanated from him. Hugh Pu's pupils shrank and he knelt on one knee uncontrollably.

He sighed softly in his heart, knowing that the Pope's will could not be changed.
