Chapter 73: Tang San Must Have Become a God Because of Me—Only I Can Teach Him!
[Yu Xiaogang (excited): @Tang Hao, Lord Clear Sky, did you see the livestream? Your son is my disciple! I'm the one who trained your son into a god!]
Upon discovering that his future disciple had become a god, Yu Xiaogang immediately tagged Tang Hao in the livestream, eagerly claiming credit for raising Tang San to godhood.
However, in the livestream, when Lin Yu saw Yu Xiaogang's message, he was utterly disgusted.
Are you serious?!
How can someone be this shameless?! Has he no dignity left?!
You almost got yourself and Tang San killed just trying to help him hunt his first soul ring!
A hundred-year Mandala Snake nearly devoured you both!
If it weren't for Tang San having secret techniques from the Tang Sect of his past life,
you both would've ended up in the afterlife. And you think you raised him into a god?
Disgusting!
Besides, the true key to Tang San's rise was the immortal herbs from Dugu Bo.
Without those, Tang San might not have become a god at all.
If anyone deserves credit, it's clearly Dugu Bo!
That said, despite the disgust, Lin Yu decided not to step forward to expose Yu Xiaogang this time.
Because while the previous livestreams had already revealed Yu Xiaogang's shamelessness, and Bibi Dong's feelings for him likely wouldn't follow the original plot anymore,
if Yu Xiaogang didn't court death himself, Bibi Dong probably wouldn't kill him.
But if Yu Xiaogang inserted himself into Tang Hao and Tang San's affairs,
then once Bibi Dong led her people to hunt them, this selfish man would undoubtedly throw a fit—perhaps even threaten her—to protect his so-called future disciple.
That could completely sever his relationship with Bibi Dong.
At that point, she might fully blacken, abandon any lingering sentiment, and ruthlessly order the hunt of not just Tang Hao and Tang San—but also Yu Xiaogang.
Tsk tsk… what a beautiful scene that would be.
If this useless man insists on digging his own grave, why stop him?
Lin Yu was fully ready to enjoy the show.
[Yu Xiaogang (excited): Lord Clear Sky, where are you now? May I come to you? As you've seen in the livestream, I'm your son's teacher—only I am fit to train him!]
Having claimed credit for Tang San's future achievements, Yu Xiaogang now pressed for Tang Hao's location so he could personally come and become Tang San's teacher.
To Yu Xiaogang, proving himself had always been his life's goal.
But being too weak and untalented,
he knew he could never become a powerful soul master to prove himself through strength. His only hope lay in his "theories."
However, deep down, Yu Xiaogang knew that his so-called theories were cobbled together from stolen knowledge and that his own research was minimal at best.
So he never aimed to train a student with average talent like himself.
Otherwise, after all his years at Nuoding Academy, he would've already taken on a disciple.
What he truly wanted was to latch onto a genius—someone he could train to success and use as proof of his value.
Previously, when he discovered Xiao Wu, a commoner with innate full soul power,
he was ecstatic, believing it to be a gift from the heavens.
As someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who had spent years in Spirit Hall,
he understood better than anyone how rare innate full soul power was.
To find a commoner with such talent who hadn't yet joined any faction—this was the opportunity of a lifetime!
But Yu Xiaogang overestimated himself.
Despite repeatedly trying to persuade and deceive Xiao Wu,
she was in fact a 100,000-year soul beast in human form—with more knowledge of soul beasts than he ever had.
She didn't need his advice on soul rings or cultivation and continuously rejected him.
After being subtly humiliated by Lin Yu in public,
Yu Xiaogang had assumed his dreams were over—until this livestream revealed that his future disciple would become a god.
It was a miracle!
All he had to do was follow the path shown in the livestream, take Tang San as a disciple, and he would become the teacher of a god.
Didn't you see? He even had a statue erected in his honor in the future!
After tagging Tang Hao and claiming his right to train Tang San, Yu Xiaogang eagerly waited for a reply.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong—already disillusioned with Yu Xiaogang—felt her heart turn completely cold.
Yu Xiaogang… Yu Xiaogang…
Was I truly that naïve?
It seems you never had me in your heart.
If Spirit Hall is destroyed in the future, that means I, its Pope, must die as well.
Don't tell me you didn't realize that. Don't tell me you don't recognize who the killer is.
And yet, you still want to help that person?
Since you're this heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Glaring at the illusionary screen in the livestream, Bibi Dong's face turned frosty as she gripped the Pope's scepter tightly.
From now on, if she ever crossed paths with that heartless traitor, she would never let him go.
Meanwhile, in Holy Soul Village,
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's messages, Tang Hao fell into hesitation.
Should he let Tang San take Yu Xiaogang as a teacher?
But he didn't take long to decide—he would allow it.
After all, if Yu Xiaogang really was Tang San's future teacher, then he likely did contribute to his success.
Besides, Tang Hao needed to continue searching for Ah Yin .
If he could entrust Tang San to a teacher, he'd have more time for his search.
But naturally, Tang Hao wouldn't reveal his own location.
[Tang Hao: @Yu Xiaogang, where are you? I'll come find you.]
At Nuoding Academy, when Yu Xiaogang saw Tang Hao's reply, he was thrilled.
It worked!
[Yu Xiaogang (excited): Lord Clear Sky, I'm at Nuoding Academy in Notting City, Phanos Province, Heaven Dou Empire. My room is on the fifth floor of the dormitory building—first room on the left. When will you come find me?]
Nuoding City?!
Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang's reply, both Tang Hao and Bibi Dong were stunned, their expressions turning strange.
They hadn't expected him to be in Nuoding City!
Now knowing Yu Xiaogang's location, Tang Hao made his decision:
He would take Tang San to meet him now.
Spirit Hall still didn't know their whereabouts.
Given how close he was to Nuoding City, he would certainly arrive first.
Meanwhile, in a forest near Nuoding City,
the Spirit Hall team was ready to move.
Originally, they were preparing to launch a surprise attack on Holy Soul Village.
But now, judging from the situation, Tang Hao was heading straight to Yu Xiaogang in Nuoding.
So instead of chasing him, why not lie in wait and catch him there?
