You Chen: My disciple is number one in the world!
Chapter 77 You Chen: My disciple is the best in the world!
A look of surprise instantly appeared in Tang San's eyes.
He never expected that, after thinking his plan had failed, his initial goal would be achieved so easily in such a surprising way.
It even felt a bit like a dream.
Tang San sized up You Chen, a rare moment of reflection creeping into his mind. He recalled how he and his master had barged into someone's house uninvited, and You Chen hadn't seemed to mind much. Even though the other man was the "enemy" who had "tricked" his teacher, a thought couldn't help but cross his mind: 'Perhaps this uncle is actually a good person? Maybe there's some misunderstanding between my teacher and him?'
Seeing Tang San's barely concealed joy and gratitude, You Chen silently pushed up his glasses to hide the upturned corners of his mouth.
"Really... he should even thank me."
The mission was triggered again just as Tang San was feeling intense anger towards You Chen.
It's still a "defeat" type of mission, but there are no additional conditions or corresponding extra rewards.
Basic Rewards: (Beginner Elixir omitted), Soul Ring Age Enhancement Card (100 Years), Soul Bone Age Enhancement Card (1000 Years), Celebration Fireworks
The mission rewards have been significantly reduced, but they are still far beyond what a one-ring Soul Master should receive.
You Chen had already vaguely anticipated that Tang San's reward would be reduced, so he wasn't disappointed at all.
"Cough cough."
Clearing his throat, You Chen's smile faded, and he said with feigned seriousness, "However, all of this is predicated on you truly being able to defeat my disciple! I will not back down on that, Tang San, you should understand that, right?"
As You Chen spoke, a hint of pride, which he tried to conceal but couldn't, crept into his voice: "If you, trained by Yu Xiaogang, can truly surpass my most outstanding disciple, then what does it matter if I admit I'm inferior to Yu Xiaogang?"
Even Tang San could sense You Chen's trust and satisfaction with You Xing.
Tang San, on the other hand, felt a little ashamed when he saw the noble character of You Chen as an educator in his words and compared it with what he was about to do.
Although this feeling of shame quickly disappeared after Tang San considered that he wanted to prove his teacher wrong, his pure and noble character transformed it into an unwavering (any means necessary) belief!
But no matter what, it did exist for a second.
For this alone, You Chen could be proud—proud of his acting skills. The Oscars owe him an award.
Tang San deliberately adopted a solemn expression and cupped his hands, saying, "Mr. You Chen, what I said to You Xing just now was not a lie. In the previous battle, I did not show my full strength. To be precise, the destructive power of my trump card was too great, and I myself could not control it perfectly. If there were no expert present to prevent accidents, there was a high possibility that an accident would have occurred."
Yu Xiaogang glared at her: "What trump card? How come I don't know?"
However, remembering that Tang San was backed by "that great one," Yu Xiaogang quickly felt relieved. After all, he was the son of the Haotian Douluo; it was normal for him to have some hidden methods!
You Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "A trump card that's hard to back down from? You mean..."
A sly glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he said, "If you intervene to rescue Youxing during this Soul Battle, or directly stop the duel, it would be tantamount to acknowledging that he cannot withstand my attacks and is inferior to me. In that case... it should be considered my victory, right?"
"It's just a hidden weapon, why are you acting like you're hiding something really big..."
You Chen inwardly scoffed, but outwardly displayed an expression of keen interest: "If that's the case, then it should naturally be considered your victory. I'm rather curious, what kind of method gave you such confidence? Even after witnessing You Xing's strength, you still believe you have a great chance of winning. Although it might sound like I'm praising myself, but... at the first-ring Soul Master stage, I believe You Xing is currently the strongest in the world."
Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted: 'This confidence is ridiculously exaggerated! It's downright arrogance!'
He simply didn't want to believe it was true.
Even knowing that his disciple possessed twin martial souls and was the disciple of the Clear Sky Douluo, he never imagined that Tang San was the world's number one at the first ring stage! Let alone this boy who appeared out of nowhere!?
But deep down, Yu Xiaogang felt a kind of frenzy and excitement at witnessing the birth of her idol's iconic moment!
That voice, which even he himself ignored, was roaring and screaming in his heart: "This is my idol, Yu Xiaogang! This is the confidence and domineering aura that the god of theory should have!"
Tang San's lips twitched upon hearing this.
He was reminded of Yusei's outrageous remarks and attitude yesterday.
He had thought that the master and apprentice looked completely opposite and had nothing in common.
But now it seems that this was a huge mistake!
Who knows, Youxing's arrogant and disdainful attitude towards everyone was learned from Youchen!
"Such confidence makes me feel that crushing him is the only right thing to do! It makes me feel no guilt even if I have to use hidden weapons!"
A sharp glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.
You Chen looked at You Xing: "So? Although I agreed to your classmate's request without my consent, you can refuse if you don't want to."
Yusei shook his head slightly: "I don't have much time to deal with the weak, but this guy is still worth sparring with."
"I don't have much free time to deal with the weak!"
Tang San suddenly recalled You Xing's initial assessment of him yesterday.
Hearing such a comment, which is practically tantamount to dismissing it, Tang San felt a strange sense of being recognized, a feeling he had never anticipated.
Damn, it's not really anything unexpected... Just recalling how this monster calmly swept through hundreds of his peers and then went back to cultivate as if nothing had happened, it would be strange if he wasn't arrogant and dismissive of everyone.
It makes me feel inexplicably honored that he thinks highly of me, and it's only natural to feel that way!
At this point, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
Led by You Chen, both pairs of masters and disciples arrived at the martial arts training ground in this large courtyard.
The two boys entered the arena one after another, with You Chen, as the referee, standing in a position where he could intervene at any time.
The two sides stood facing each other on opposite sides of a dueling platform in the training ground, and a battle was about to break out.
Finally, Tang San's expression hardened, and he hissed, "Youxing, be careful! Don't get hurt!"
They immediately rushed out first.
A faint light emanated from his right hand, and the Blue Silver Grass was poised to unleash its power.
Yu Xing remained calm and waited quietly, not even intending to release his martial spirit.
