[While Yu Xiaogang was introducing Luo San Pao to Tang San...]
[A sudden 'rustle...' sound came from the pitch-black woods.]
[Tang San's eyes turned a lustrous purple. He turned his head and couldn't help but be startled.]
[In the dark forest, a snake-type Spirit Beast with a dark green body and an inverted triangular head slowly raised its slender torso, its eyes like crimson gems as it flicked its tongue.]
["Teacher, there's a snake there!" Tang San hurriedly pointed over.]
[Yu Xiaogang took out a fire starter and threw it toward the direction Tang San pointed. The fire starter caught fire in the wind mid-air, illuminating the pitch-black woods.]
["A hundred-year Datura Snake!"]
[Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically as he stood up immediately. After saying some nonsense to Tang San like, "Many rings and bones, one wave of skill; few rings and bones, run for your life," he once again controlled Luo San Pao to step forward and launch a fart Spirit Skill.]
[In an instant, Luo San Pao inhaled again, its body expanding rapidly until it became a giant ball. It turned around and blasted rounds of foul-smelling gas at the Datura Snake, blowing it away.]
[Amidst the green, foul-smelling gas that spread everywhere with the wind—so thick one could almost smell it through the screen—Yu Xiaogang took Tang San and ran for his life.]
[However, Yu Xiaogang's fart Spirit Skill only blew the Datura Snake away; it didn't harm the Datura Snake in the slightest.]
[After landing, the Datura Snake raised its body again, flicking its tongue. Like a streak of dark green lightning, it rapidly pursued Yu Xiaogang, closing in quickly.]
White World, at the foot of the mountain where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located.
"This Yu Xiaogang is truly reaping what he sowed!"
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was completely outmatched by a hundred-year Datura Snake and could only take Tang San and run for his life, Dugu Bo couldn't help but sneer.
"He is clearly friends with the dean of Nuoding Academy, yet he insisted on taking Tang San alone to the Spirit Hunting Forest to hunt for a spirit ring, risking their lives."
"Now that he can't even defeat a hundred-year Spirit Beast, he's getting exactly what he deserves!"
"Since this Tang San can become the Sea God and Asura God in the future, he probably won't die this time."
"But this Yu Xiaogang is likely to end up in the belly of that Datura Snake."
"And even if he doesn't, after this trip to the Spirit Hunting Forest, Tang San should finally see Yu Xiaogang's true colors and choose to sever this master-disciple relationship, right?"
"Otherwise, I really can't imagine how Tang San could become a god in the future by following Yu Xiaogang!"
It wasn't just Dugu Bo.
Whether in the White World or the Black World.
After seeing Yu Xiaogang's hollow reputation and useless incompetence through the comparison video.
Many people felt that Yu Xiaogang was likely going to die in the mouth of the Datura Snake.
And even if he didn't, after this trip to the Spirit Hunting Forest, Tang San should be able to see Yu Xiaogang's true colors and choose to sever this master-disciple relationship to find another master.
Otherwise, under the teaching and assistance of this waste Yu Xiaogang, who couldn't even defeat a hundred-year Datura Snake.
In the future, Tang San might not even be able to gather the optimal spirit ring configuration, let alone talk about becoming a god.
But the development of events exceeded everyone's expectations.
[Facing the approaching Datura Snake, Yu Xiaogang controlled Luo San Pao, trying to stall the Datura Snake.]
[But the Datura Snake directly bit Luo San Pao, threw it away, and it slammed heavily onto the ground, letting out a painful and shrill scream before turning into a streak of purple light and returning to Yu Xiaogang's body.]
[After dealing with Luo San Pao, seeing the Datura Snake catching up, Yu Xiaogang was already in despair, his eyes becoming dazed.]
White World, Canghui Academy.
"This hollow-reputed waste is finally going to die!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's look of despair, Shi Nian only felt a sense of relief.
Because a possessor of Innate Full Spirit Power and twin spirits was the most top-tier disciple.
If he had taken this disciple, he would have definitely planned the best cultivation route for him and personally taken him to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for the most suitable hundred-year spirit ring.
Instead of being like this Yu Xiaogang.
Despite being only a Rank 29 Spirit Grandmaster with a farting Spirit Ability that couldn't even defeat a hundred-year Spirit Beast, he insisted on taking Tang San alone to the Spirit Hunting Forest to hunt for a spirit ring.
As a result, not only might he die now, but he would also drag down his disciple, Tang San.]
"Since Tang San can become a god in the future, he definitely won't die now."
"After this experience, Tang San should break off his relationship with Yu Xiaogang and find a new master."
"If he could come to Canghui Academy and take me as his master in the future, that would be wonderful!"
Shi Nian's heart was full of anticipation and fervor.
Who wouldn't want the title of 'Teacher of a God'?
Moreover, being able to cultivate a Deity.
That would be the greatest possible proof and manifestation of Shi Nian's Spirit theory talent!
[At the final moment, Tang San took out several white radishes from the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges and threw them continuously as hidden weapons toward the Datura Snake's head, making it so the snake couldn't get close at all.]
[After failing to penetrate the Datura Snake's scales with a Sleeve Arrow, Tang San took out a dagger again and shot it into the Datura Snake's open mouth, piercing into its brain from the bottom up, killing the Datura Snake.]
[Because he was running away when the Datura Snake was killed, Yu Xiaogang didn't even notice how Tang San killed it.]
[Tang San also pretended to be panting heavily, looking as if he had killed the Datura Snake by accident.]
[Yu Xiaogang didn't care much. Seeing that after the Datura Snake died, yellow light spots kept emerging from its body to condense into the prototype of a hundred-year spirit ring, he couldn't help but be incredibly excited.]
["Good! This is truly great! Little San, your spirit ring is sorted!"]
[Learning that he was to absorb the spirit ring of this Datura Snake, Tang San was also stunned for a moment. He stated that his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was a plant Spirit; wouldn't there be a conflict if he absorbed a spirit ring from an animal-type Spirit Beast?]
[In response, Yu Xiaogang naturally put on a confident and proud look again, stating that according to his martial soul mimicry theory, plant Spirits didn't necessarily have to absorb plant spirit rings; absorbing beast-type spirit rings was also possible.]
["If it were other plant Spirits, there might be a conflict from absorbing a beast-type spirit ring, and it wouldn't be impossible for the body to explode and lead to death in severe cases."]
["But Blue Silver Grass is an extremely weak Spirit. No matter what spirit ring it absorbs, it won't produce rejection."]
["And for the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to have combat power, it needs resilience and toxicity. The Datura Snake possesses both, so it is actually suitable for Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul."]
[After saying that, Yu Xiaogang bragged about his ten core competitivenesses of martial souls theory again, saying it wasn't understood by others, and asked Tang San with a fanatical look in his eyes if he was willing to help verify it.]
["Teacher, let me be the one to put it into practice for you. I believe your theory won't be wrong!" Tang San chose to believe him and spoke very seriously.]
Silence!
Utter silence!
No one expected that Tang San still hadn't seen Yu Xiaogang's true colors even now.
Whether it was the Black World or the White World.
Countless people simply couldn't hold it in anymore.
Is this Tang San a fool?
There are so many problems with this Yu Xiaogang.
First of all, your Innate Full Spirit Power was obtained through your own cultivation.
So Yu Xiaogang's reasoning, which all came from your Innate Full Spirit Power, was flawed from the very beginning.
Yet you didn't notice.
Later, Yu Xiaogang was clearly friends with the dean of Nuoding Academy, yet he insisted on taking you to the Spirit Hunting Forest alone.
As a result, he couldn't even beat a hundred-year Spirit Beast and almost caused you both to die in the Datura Snake's mouth.
It was all thanks to you that this Datura Snake was killed.
Now, this Yu Xiaogang wants to use you to test his bullshit martial soul mimicry theory.
And you actually believe him and agree to it?
Other plant Spirits would explode from absorbing beast-type spirit rings!
This proves that the compatibility between plant Spirits and beast-type spirit rings is very poor!
Do you really think it's a good thing that your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is so weak that it won't explode from absorbing a beast-type Spirit?
[After agreeing to Yu Xiaogang, Tang San sat cross-legged on the ground, summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and began absorbing the hundred-year spirit ring of the Datura Snake.]
[In the blink of an eye, the sky grew slightly bright.]
[After finishing the absorption of the Datura Snake's spirit ring, Tang San opened his eyes and stood up happily, preparing to share his joy with Yu Xiaogang.]
[But he found that Yu Xiaogang had actually fainted on the ground. That stiff face was swirled with black gas, and his lips were black. He looked like he was barely breathing and was about to be poisoned to death.]
Black World, Spirit City.
Supreme Pontiff Palace.
'Xiaogang!!'
When she saw Yu Xiaogang looking poisoned and on the verge of death in the comparison video, a trace of worry and anxiety flashed in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes, and she clenched her jade-like hands.
Is Xiaogang going to die here?
No! No!!
I haven't even reconciled with Xiaogang yet!
[However, after discovering that Yu Xiaogang was poisoned, Tang San immediately began to treat him. Using his inner strength to dispel the toxin, he spent a few days and finally managed to save half of Yu Xiaogang's life.]
[Upon waking up, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly asked how Tang San's Spirit Ability was after absorbing the Datura Snake's spirit ring.]
[Tang San demonstrated the first Spirit Ability of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, which was Binding. It could quickly coil the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul—which had become like a vine after absorbing the first spirit ring—around a target, and it even carried toxins.]
[Afterward, Tang San carried Yu Xiaogang on his back all the way out of the Spirit Hunting Forest, hired a carriage, and returned to Nuoding City.]
At this moment, the screen suddenly began to dim.
Lines of golden text emerged from the comparison screen.
[Part Three of the comparison video for Sea God and Asura God Tang San has finished playing!]
[Take a break.]
[Next, the third stage comparison video for White World: God of Life and God of Destruction Tang Chuan will be played!]
[Please look forward to it!]
Black World, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"It's finally finished playing!"
Seeing that Tang San's comparison video had finally finished, Bone Douluo let out a long breath and complained incessantly.
"This Tang San is just like a fool; watching him really makes one's blood boil with frustration!"
"If this Tang San can become a god under Yu Xiaogang's teaching..."
"...then wouldn't he have become a god among gods if he had joined my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
"Unfortunately, he is the son of that Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, so he's considered one of the Clear Sky Sect's people."
In response, a flash of regret also crossed Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
This Tang San was so gifted, yet he took that hollow-reputed, selfish, and incompetent Yu Xiaogang as his teacher.
Yu Xiaogang had been exposed so many times, yet he still hadn't realized it.
He truly had talent, but his wisdom and insight were severely lacking.
If he could have taken me, Ning Fengzhi, as his master, wouldn't it have been ten thousand times better than taking that Yu Xiaogang!
But Ning Fengzhi also knew.
Tang San was the son of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao and was considered a member of the Clear Sky Sect.
Even if he had taken Tang San as a disciple, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wouldn't have been able to gain much benefit.
