Yu Xiaogang's Attention

"I wonder if the mistress has enough money to buy a crystal ball!"

Xiang Yang muttered something to himself, and then walked towards the Spirit Hall.

With no more money on hand, Xiang Yang decided against buying a mirror first.

……

at the same time.

Inside the Spirit Hall.

Tang San politely bought about twenty crystal balls from Lord Matthew, and even borrowed quite a few books about herbs in Douluo Continent.

This made Tang San sigh, realizing that the Spirit Hall wasn't so bad after all.

Originally, Tang San thought that the people from the Spirit Hall had ruined his family and caused their deaths, and that they all had ways to die.

But now, Tang San has decided to only punish the ringleaders.

After Tang San bought the crystal ball, he sat on a road outside the Spirit Hall, with a basket of crystal balls beside him and a book called "Mountain Classic Herbal Manual" in his hands, reading it carefully.

This book explains things in great detail. Although it only covers some very basic herbs, it not only includes pictures and descriptions, but also explains the compound effects of using some herbs together.

This captivated Tang San.

However, Tang San also began to discover that some of the herbs in this world were not much different from those in his previous life.

This made Tang San very happy, as it made his studies much easier.

And just then...

Tang San had no idea that he was being targeted by a middle-aged man!

This person is none other than Yu Xiaogang.

As a master of "theory", Yu Xiaogang would occasionally seek out theories from the Spirit Hall to enrich his knowledge and incidentally turn them into his own theories.

Because of Yu Xiaogang's reputation as a master, the Spirit Hall wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for him, as long as he didn't do anything outrageous.

Last month, after the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall recorded the list of awakened Martial Souls around Notting City, Yu Xiaogang, as in previous years, came to the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall to look for some geniuses from the common people.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaogang became instantly excited.

Holy Soul Village, Tang San, Blue Silver Grass, innate full soul power!

Holy Soul Village, Xiang Yang, Iron Bow, innate full soul power!

In a small village called Holy Soul, two outstanding talents have emerged at the same time.

What excited Yu Xiaogang the most was that, in his eyes, it was impossible to awaken innate full soul power using a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass and an ordinary martial soul like Iron Bow.

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang was certain that Tang San and Xiang Yang must have twin martial souls!

Moreover, the other martial soul must be extremely powerful!

For this reason, Yu Xiaogang had been waiting at the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Notting City for a long time.

If things were as they were originally supposed to be, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't have gone to the Spirit Hall specifically to wait for Tang San.

Because Tang San in the original timeline did not register his Soul Master status with the Heaven Dou Empire, nor did he receive any Gold Soul Coins from the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang could only wait for Tang San when Notting Academy opened.

But now, because of Xiang Yang's butterfly effect, Xiang Yang and his group have registered as Soul Masters, so Yu Xiaogang is now waiting for them at the Martial Soul Branch Hall.

Today, as usual, Yu Xiaogang has been strolling around the Martial Soul Branch Hall every day since the first day of this month.

Persistence pays off, and this time, he actually managed to catch Tang San.

Tang San and Xiang Yang were, after all, there to collect the monthly gold soul coin.

Having read Tang San's information, Yu Xiaogang specifically sought out Su Yuntao and Matthew Nuo to learn more about Tang San's appearance.

Now, Tang San was sitting on a relatively clean patch of ground next to the Spirit Hall, looking at a book about herbs. Yu Xiaogang recognized Tang San at a glance.

After all, Tang San's blue coarse cloth outfit was quite easy to recognize.

Yu Xiaogang watched Tang San reading intently from afar and nodded unconsciously.

"Hmm, even after awakening a useless martial soul, he still finds time to read books and broaden his horizons. Not bad, not bad."

Yu Xiaogang had already regarded Tang San as his disciple, and he was extremely satisfied to see Tang San reading the book.

"However, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul can't become stronger by reading these books; it needs more knowledge about soul beasts."

Yu Xiaogang's lips curled into a smile, and he couldn't help but offer his own advice in his heart.

However, Yu Xiaogang didn't realize that others saw him as a pervert.

His round face with its thick beard, coupled with that eerie smile, made him look like a psychopath.

Of course, even if Yu Xiaogang knew what others thought, he wouldn't care now.

Yu Xiaogang, who loved to teach, decisively walked towards Tang San.

He had already figured out how to start a conversation with Tang San.

Just then, Tang San, being a member of the Tang Sect, was very sensitive to the attention of others. He quickly saw a middle-aged man with a full beard walking towards him with a smile.

Tang San frowned, and his right hand unconsciously rose.

If this person has any problems, he'll just take action!

Tang San was thinking this, but Yu Xiaogang also saw that Tang San had discovered him.

Seeing the hint of confusion on Tang San's face, Yu Xiaogang immediately started to imagine what was going on.

Could it be that this Tang San already knows me, the master?

If that's the case, then things will be much easier!

Yu Xiaogang smiled slightly, then walked up to Tang San and asked, feigning curiosity.

"Why are you reading this kind of book, child?"

What books I read is none of your business.

No sooner had Yu Xiaogang finished speaking than Tang San immediately retorted.

Yu Xiaogang was stunned.

Something's not right with this plot!

Why would Tang San say that?

Shouldn't he have politely asked, "Do you have any recommendations?" or "Who are you?"

"Ahem!"

Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang was thick-skinned. Faced with Tang San's question, he did not panic. He simply coughed twice to ease the awkwardness before explaining his purpose.

"I'm not criticizing you, but I want to tell you that if you want to learn about martial spirits and spirit beasts, you should read books like 'The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Spirits' and 'One Thousand and One Common Spirit Beasts'."

Yu Xiaogang smiled and shook his head, then revealed an appreciative expression.

"I wonder what kind of martial soul you awakened this year? But since you're reading these books about herbs, you must have awakened a plant-type martial soul!"

Yu Xiaogang spoke to himself, and then began his theory.

"Seeing how hard you're studying, I still recommend you read the book 'The Advantages and Disadvantages of Plant-Type Martial Souls'."

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me later. I'm a guest invited by the dean of Notting Academy, and everyone calls me Master."

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he also put on a kind expression.

"master?"

When Tang San heard Yu Xiaogang call himself a master, he immediately frowned and became wary.

Xiang Yang had already mentioned the title of "master" to him before.

It is said that there is a guy in the Soul Master world who freeloads at the Spirit Hall and likes to plagiarize some of the Spirit Hall's theories, then compile them and claim them as his own.

However, this master broke through to level 29 at the age of fifty, and he was a guy who didn't even understand his own martial soul.

The so-called "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls" theory is utter nonsense.

Xiang Yang had already explained to him what this very basic theory was all about.

Tang San then saw someone claiming to be a master, and he immediately suspected that this person was a fraud.
