Chapter 451: The Three Beauties of Tianxing
The two little girls continued to persistently stare at Ye Wen with pitiful eyes. After a long moment, Ye Wen could only helplessly sigh and wave his hand.
"Alright, I accept."
Xiao Xiao immediately seized the opportunity and knelt to the ground, knocking her head three times before loudly declaring, "I pay my respects to my master."
"Mm," Ye Wen absentmindedly replied.
After all, students wanting to be taught by him were nothing new. The real reason Ye Wen accepted Xiao Xiao was due to the request from Huo Yu´er and a desire to start anew. Otherwise, even if Xiao Xiao was as persistent as she was, Ye Wen would have simply refused.
Once accepted, Ye Wen didn't choose the easy path of letting her train herself. Instead, he began with a series of "Immortal Herb SPA" treatments to enhance Xiao Xiao's already exceptional talent, pushing her soul power directly to Soul King at level 30.
This alone was enough to make Xiao Xiao dumbfounded, expressing her deep gratitude. But Ye Wen's gifts for his disciples weren't so simple.
Speaking of Xiao Xiao, her luck seemed truly remarkable. Whether it was due to the death of her parents, she was fortunate in a way. Ever since Tang San ascended to godhood, the training of dual martial souls was no longer a huge secret, but this didn't mean that absorbing a second martial soul's spirit ring was simple.
Yet Xiao Xiao, in her Great Soul Master rank, was able to add a spirit ring to her second martial soul, the Nine Phoenixes' Flute, although it was only a hundred year ring. Although she wasted a spirit ring slot, at least it didn't kill her, which would have been ridiculous.
However, what confused Ye Wen was that in the original story, both of Xiao Xiao's martial souls followed a control type path, even though the Nine Phoenixes' Flute could have followed an offensive path. But it was still early, and things could be changed.
Ye Wen directly bestowed an artificial soul ring for her third spirit ring from the San Sheng Zhen Hun Ding, which completely cemented Xiao Xiao's decision to follow him. After all, in this decayed world of Douluo Continent, the appearance of such a divine artifact, one that hadn't been seen for tens of thousands of years, in Ye Wen's hands was a testament to his strength and deep background.
As for Xiao Xiao being opportunistic? Anyone with a brain should seek a better life and follow stronger beings, right?
Xiao Xiao had been taught from a young age that if this opportunity were given to those soul masters who talked behind others' backs, they'd be kissing Ye Wen's shoes in gratitude. That's just how people were.
Next came the beloved Six Forms teaching session.
Compared to the Douluo Continent a thousand years ago, today's Douluo Continent emphasized skills more than ever, especially with the advent of Soul Guidance Devices, which had overturned the battle systems that had persisted for millennia. Even the proud Shrek had to acknowledge this.
But each person had their own talents and flaws, so Ye Wen didn't teach Xiao Xiao all of the Six Forms at once. Instead, he chose the ones that suited her the most: the First Form, Shifting Step, and Moon Step.
Because Xiao Xiao was a control type soul master and her first spirit ring was the bulky San Sheng Zhen Hun Ding, Ye Wen taught her techniques that would allow her to escape and save her life. If she used a soul skill and didn't quickly leave the area, she could become an easy target for the enemy.
Although Xiao Xiao outwardly showed the image of a weak, petite loli, she trained with extraordinary harshness, pushing herself to the point of paleness, and only stopping when she collapsed from exhaustion.
Ye Wen could see that she was also a girl with inner demons. And because of this, Jiang Nannan recognized her as a junior sister.
Moreover, Xiao Xiao was very considerate. Seeing that both Huo Yu´er and herself were under Ye Wen's tutelage, she wanted to introduce Tang Wulin as well.
Ye Wen, who had been secretly eavesdropping on their daily training, instinctively wanted to refuse. The reason was simple: all of his disciples were female, and Ye Wen feared that if Tang Wulin, a male protagonist, joined, he'd spoil the atmosphere and disrupt his carefully constructed "team."
Ye Wen had resolved that if Tang Wulin ever came, he would display his authority as a master and make sure his sect wasn't seen as a place where anyone could just waltz in.
However, days passed, and Ye Wen didn't hear anything about Tang Wulin from his disciples.
"What's going on!?" Ye Wen thought his disciples had finally grown up and stopped being so naive.
But reality slapped him in the face when he discovered that Tang Wulin had quietly joined Tang Sect.
Seeing Tang Wulin, who was diligently studying hidden weapons at the Shrek base of Tang Sect, Ye Wen was filled with black lines on his face.
"The Tang God King is like this?"
In the original story, wasn't it supposed to be a bunch of tricks and heart schemes? Why had he gone straight to doing nothing but playing with ancient relics?
Ye Wen observed in secret for a while, only to see Tang Wulin stubbornly studying these relics, making Ye Wen leave in utter disbelief.
In an era where weapons could fire 3,600 shots per second, what was he doing messing around with Zhuge Divine Crossbows? _ ||
This era's key technology was the Soul Guidance Device! Was Tang God King so conservative?
Then Ye Wen remembered that in the original story, Wang Dong seemed to have been mentally branded with a thought seal, making him repelled by even touching Soul Guidance Devices.
Father? Really?
Just as the semester was about to end, Ye Wen was helping Huo Yu´er and the others consolidate their cultivation results when he suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"Don't make such a big fuss when you come out. Are you afraid the Tang God King can't see?"
With a wave of his hand, the space changed.
The three girls hadn't reacted when they were suddenly transported to a completely white, empty space.
???
The three girls were confused, and Huo Yu´er was the first to ask.
"Master, what's going on?"
Ye Wen gestured for them to stay silent and then whispered, "Come out, since you've regained consciousness, don't hide in a child's sea of consciousness any longer."
"How unlucky, I didn't expect to wake up and meet such a terrifying powerhouse," a slightly elderly voice sounded in the space, sending chills down the girls' spines, though they couldn't see anyone.
At that moment, an old man with gray hair slowly appeared from the void, his body surrounded by a chilling death aura but radiating a strange purity.
Ye Wen stared at the person and said calmly, "Do you remember your name?"
