Douluo Continent: Ultimate Sea God Dragon, Inheriting Two Godhoods

Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

Yu Xiaogang was reading in his room. Seeing the darkening sky outside the window, he roughly calculated the time and realized that Xiao San had almost finished dinner and should come over to start his studies for the evening.

"Bang bang bang..."

Three knocks sounded on the door.

"Teacher, I'm here."

"Mistress, come in."

He put down the book in his hand and said calmly.

But when Tang San pushed open the door and entered, Yu Xiaogang discovered that in addition to his disciple, Xiao Wu had also come along, which was quite a rare guest.

"master."

Xiao Wu took the initiative to greet the uninvited guest.

"Let's find a place to sit down first." Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more. However, he couldn't help but frown slightly, sensing that something was wrong.

Although Xiao Wu had excellent talent for cultivation, she was lazy and playful by nature, and couldn't learn anything. So, apart from a few visits after Xiao San recognized her as his younger sister, she found studying boring and couldn't stand it, so she never came again.

"Xiao San, is there something you want to tell me?" Yu Xiaogang asked with a stern face and a serious expression.

Tang San seemed used to it. "Teacher, someone invited us to join the academy again today."

"Reject it."

Yu Xiaogang did not hesitate and rejected the idea immediately.

"Xiao San, I told you before not to accept those colleges' invitations. Their teaching standards and resources are not good enough for you. I will give you a better option in a year."

Although his tone was calm, the disdain and contempt in his eyes were unmistakable. So far, none of the academies that had invited Tang San and Xiao Wu were even in the fourth tier of the continent's academies.

However, Tang San said, "But teacher, that person and his academy seem to be quite unusual."

Then he recounted everything that had happened since he met Ouyang Ling at the blacksmith shop that day.

After listening to Tang San's words,

"What?! Heaven Dou Royal Academy!?" Yu Xiaogang was stunned, then frowned. He asked again to confirm, "Xiao San, are you sure he didn't make a mistake?"

"Yes, I'm sure of it."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang like this, Xiao Wu, who was already curious, could no longer suppress her impulse.

"Master, what exactly is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Is this academy very famous?"

Tang San scratched his head. Although he didn't say anything, the curiosity in his eyes remained undisguised.

"certainly."

After sorting through his thoughts, Yu Xiaogang, unable to figure out the reason, could only put aside his guess about why the people from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would come to this small city, and then answered Xiao Wu's question and explained things to Tang San.

"The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was founded by the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, and the dean of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has always been concurrently held by the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. Within the Heaven Dou Empire, this academy is the largest advanced soul master academy, and its facilities are unimaginably complete."

These words inevitably moved Tang San.

The largest academy in the empire, coupled with its creation by the royal family and the title of "disciple of the emperor," means abundant resources, which are exactly what one needs on the path of cultivation.

Even though Tang San had a clear idea of ​​what was going on, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, which is better, this or the academy you recommended to me?"

Is there even a need to ask that?

Shrek Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy are worlds apart, they are simply incomparable.

Moreover, he chose Shrek Academy only because there were no better academies available for Tang San, so he could only use it as a stepping stone.

The purpose is to ensure that one's disciple receives attention from top academies, who will then extend offers to them.

So this question is... Although Yu Xiaogang's stiff lips almost twitched, he still answered without hesitation, "Of course it's the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."

At this moment, Xiao Wu became curious again.

"Master, why didn't you just recommend us to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy before?"

"Because it won't work." Yu Xiaogang wasn't impatient and explained to Tang San and the other that the prerequisite for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to accept students was that students must be nobles, which prevented many outstanding commoner students from joining.

noble?

This made Tang San frown. But they were clearly just commoners. So what was this so-called invitation…?

"Teacher, is that person a scammer?"

A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes at the thought. If they were frauds, it meant they possessed something this person coveted. He didn't know what it was, but it could very well be detrimental to them.

"It shouldn't be that bad."

At this moment, the master rejected Tang San's guess.

"In your words, that person is extraordinary. Neither his demeanor nor his abilities can be faked by a conman. Perhaps he can persuade you to make an exception and join. Of course, your talent and ability are sufficient."

A hint of pride flashed across Yu Xiaogang's face.

He was certain that, under his tutelage, no more than one person his age could outmaneuver a mistress.

Oh, Xiao Wu too.

"Master, how should we decide?"

Xiao Wu asked another question.

"Go see them, I'll go with you."

The master made up his mind. In order to provide Tang San with better resources for growth, and also to verify his theories, this trip was imperative.

and so…

I'm sorry, Flander!

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang calmed down.

He stared at Tang San, "Little San, if he really is from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and can let you in, then don't refuse. Because they can provide you with a simulated training environment, and your talent is enough to qualify you to participate in the Continental Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, allowing you to step onto the continental stage."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang's tone became quite solemn, which made Tang San nod seriously as well.

Xiao Wu, who seemed about to say something but hesitated, remained silent.

Oh right, what was I going to ask again? I think I really forgot something... Oh well, if it were something important, I wouldn't have forgotten.

……

The following day, at the Nottingham Hotel.

As soon as dawn broke, Ouyang Ling ended his night of meditation.

After a quick wash, he went to the window.

Gazing at the first hint of dawn on the horizon, a strange smile appeared on his lips.

I wonder if Tang San and Xiao Wu will take the bait?

Of course, he didn't dare say it aloud.

After all, walls have ears, so it's better to be safe than sorry.

After a quick breakfast, it was around seven o'clock. I went to the lobby alone, but bumped into the receptionist.

"Distinguished guest."

The waiter looked up, his face lighting up with delight, and quickly said:

"It seems like three people came looking for you."

"Find me."

Ouyang Ling paused slightly.

Having already identified him, he walked unhurriedly to the seating area in the lobby. Besides Tang San and Xiao Wu, whom he had met yesterday, a rather unremarkable middle-aged man sat on the sofa.

Ouyang Ling: "..."

That middle-aged man must be Yu Xiaogang, right? He doesn't look that good. I don't know why Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong would admire and be so madly in love with a man who is plain-looking, weak, emotionally fragile, and completely irresponsible.

Could it be because of that so-called knowledge? Or is it that they've never actually "eaten" anything good?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

Setting aside his chaotic thoughts, Ouyang Ling greeted them with a warm smile, "Brother Tang, you've arrived. I suppose you've already made up your mind."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Yu Xiaogang and said politely, "You must be Brother Tang's teacher."

"Nice to meet you."

He then extended his hand, demonstrating impeccable manners.

Not only was it flawless, but it also gave a good first impression. This contrasted sharply with the stiff expression on the face of the master who reached out to greet them.

"Nice to meet you..."

A dry, emotionless sentence.

Ouyang Ling didn't care. After letting go, he sat down opposite the three of them and went straight to the point with Tang San.

"I wonder if the two of you have joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Before Tang San could reply, Yu Xiaogang spoke up first. "Joining is naturally something I'd like to do. But I wonder how you can prove you're from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Also, my disciple and his sister aren't nobles, so what gives you the right to let them into the academy?"

Ouyang Ling smiled slightly.

He had already prepared a response to this question. But before he could speak, "Zero, do you have guests?"

It turned out that it was almost eight o'clock, so the members of the Royal Fighting Team were coming downstairs one after another. But when they saw Ouyang Ling sitting in the hall talking to three people, they were immediately puzzled.

Immediately, Yu Tianheng was the first to ask the question.

Ouyang Ling looked up. "Tianheng, you're down." It seemed that the prepared speech was no longer needed.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang, who was facing away from the seven members of the Royal Fighting Team, heard the words "Tianheng" and heard that familiar yet unfamiliar voice after many years. His body trembled violently, and his stiff face became uncertain.

Tang San sensed something was amiss and tentatively asked:

"Teacher? You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Xiaogang grabbed his hand, stopping him from asking further. "Don't ask..."

After glancing at Yu Xiaogang's reaction out of the corner of her eye, Ouyang Ling pretended not to see it and slowly got up.

"Yesterday I ran into two students from Notting Academy at a blacksmith's shop. They were about 11 years old, but their cultivation level was definitely above level 25. So I took a liking to their talent and extended an invitation to them."

"Wow—, 11 years old, level 25!"

"Looks like he's a genius too."

"..."

The Royal Fighting Team members were taken aback.

Their talent is in no way inferior to theirs.

Of course, that surprise only lasted a moment. After all, they had seen an even more monstrous guy, so they had long since developed a thick skin.

What truly intrigued them was that such a small place as Nottingham City could produce such a talented genius.

As they spoke, Tang San and Xiao Wu were drawn to the conversation between Ouyang Ling and the other seven men and women.

While Tang San was still worried about his teacher's strange behavior, Xiao Wu had already turned around and peeked out with a hint of excitement.

"Are you also from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"That's right." Seeing Xiao Wu's pure and stunning beauty, Yu Feng's eyes lit up instantly. He brushed his blonde hair aside, leaned closer to her, and rested his forearm on the sofa. "Hello, little beauty..."

His flippant manner instantly made Xiao Wu lean back. At the same time, Tang San's eyes were fixed on Yu Feng.

You bastard…

Suddenly, Yu Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

Hey—why does he seem a little cold?

Just then, Dugu Yan stepped in and pushed Yu Feng aside. "Alright, what kind of behavior is this? You're embarrassing us. You're almost scaring the little girl."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately muttered something.

"I wasn't scared at all."

"Alright, alright." To keep the conversation on track and prevent Yu Feng from suffering any harm, Ouyang Ling spoke up to attract everyone's attention. "You two, would you be willing to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"This…"

Seeing that the identities of the people in front of him didn't seem to be fake, Tang San considered agreeing. However, noticing that his teacher remained silent, he was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang, with his back to everyone, suddenly stood up and said, "Xiao San, say yes."

"However, I must clarify one thing: my disciple's martial soul is merely Blue Silver Grass, an ordinary, common Blue Silver Grass. Is that alright?"

"Blue Silver Grass?"

Yu Feng was surprised, thinking he was joking.

"Can a Blue Silver Grass martial soul also cultivate to become a Great Soul Master?"

And it wasn't just him. Apart from Ouyang Ling and Yu Tianheng, the others either reacted with surprise mixed with disdain, or with indifference mixed with astonishment. After all, how powerful could an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Soul Master really be?

Seeing the group's expressions, Xiao Wu suddenly felt a surge of anger and wanted to argue with them.

Tang San, used to this, reached out to stop her and calmly quoted Yu Xiaogang's original words: "There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ling's expression remained unchanged, while Dugu Yan and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Only after Yu Xiaogang stood up to speak did Yu Tianheng, who had been silent until now, tremble. After a slight hesitation, he took a few steps forward and tentatively asked, "Are you... Uncle?"

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang slowly turned around.

"Tianheng, you still remember me."
