Chapter 51: The Wealth-Bringing Boy, Tang San

The Great Spirit Arena was bustling with noise.

Under Tang San's guidance, Yu Xiaogang arrived here.

Furthermore, in order to avoid being recognized by Dai Mubai and Flender, the two of them deliberately went through some disguises.

Tang San remained puzzled as to why his teacher was so insistent on meeting Wu Qi.

"Xiao San, do you not wish to have another fellow disciple?"

Tang San was confused at first, but suddenly realized something and hesitated, saying, "Teacher, Wu Qi has already been valued by the Dean. Is it really appropriate for us to do this?"

Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly, "Since ancient times, geniuses have been paired with good teachers. Do you think Flender is a good teacher?"

"If I remember correctly, Ma Hongjun is his disciple, right? Moreover, the age gap between you shouldn't be large. Think carefully about Ma Hongjun's strength; is this the kind of disciple Flender teaches?"

Tang San gasped.

On the first day of school, he and Xiao Wu had a conflict with Ma Hongjun.

At that time, the fire attacks Ma Hongjun unleashed were quite powerful, but his own combat methods were exceptionally lacking.

It seemed that apart from breathing fire, he had no other way to fight.

One must know that Ma Hongjun had been apprenticed to Flender since he was six years old.

Over these six years, Flender hadn't taught him much. When they were in the Soul Beast Forest, Ma Hongjun didn't even recognize many common types of Soul Beasts.

Indeed, in terms of teaching ability, Flender was far inferior to his own teacher.

Seeing that Tang San was wavering, Yu Xiaogang added fuel to the fire, "Xiao San, my earnest intentions are all for your sake."

"You have a good relationship with Wu Qi; if you two could become fellow disciples, it would be a fine story."

"Cultivation requires goals to chase and motivation to move forward. If you encourage each other, you will be able to progress faster in the future."

There was one more thing Yu Xiaogang didn't say.

The Clear Sky Sect had been forced into seclusion by the Spirit Hall back in the day, and a deep, irreconcilable grudge had long since formed between the two sides.

Although the current Tang San did not know about the Clear Sky Sect, he would eventually have to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan in the future.

And Wu Qi was the foundation Yu Xiaogang was preparing for Tang San's future.

In his view, although Wu Qi's future achievements might not be as great as Tang San's, he would still be a top-tier powerhouse on the continent and a good asset.

Yu Xiaogang did not want to miss out on the glory of having two Douluo in one sect.

"Alright, I'll go find him in a moment." Tang San nodded earnestly.

Regardless of whether Yu Xiaogang had initiated the suggestion, he would have gone to find Wu Qi to thank him in person for helping him hunt for a soul ring.

It was the first time Qiangu Changkong had participated in a Spirit Fighting match in the Soul Elder division, and unsurprisingly, he lost the match.

The soul power required for a Soul Elder's Third Spirit Skill was not comparable to a Great Spirit Master's Second Spirit Skill.

For low-level Soul Elders, in high-intensity combat, their soul power was only enough to use it once.

Qiangu Changkong's grasp of the timing for releasing his Third Spirit Skill was not up to par, and coupled with the fact that his opponent possessed Level Thirty-Eight strength, he ultimately lost the match by a single move.

During this match, Wu Qi and Ning Rongrong were watching from the sidelines.

Seeing him return to the spectator area, Wu Qi advised, "You already did very well; you only lost this match due to the difference in soul power level."

"After you go back, think carefully about the timing for releasing your Third Spirit Skill. Relying on your attainments with the Coiling Dragon Staff, you will have a chance to win the next match."

Qiangu Changkong hung his head, "My winning streak points..."

Without a winning streak, winning a match only earns one point. But during a winning streak, the acquisition of points grows exponentially.

This loss meant that Qiangu Changkong had fallen behind Wu Qi in the progress of his Spirit Fighting Badge.

Ning Rongrong said irritably, "You need to have some self-awareness; there is a huge gap between you and Brother Wu Qi."

As an Auxiliary System Soul Master, she had carefully observed the strength of both Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong.

Although it was hurtful to say, in her eyes, even three Qiangu Changkongs joining forces might not be a match for Wu Qi.

"Brother Wu, you promised, let's do a team Spirit Fighting match later so I can make up some points."

Since it was the first time the two of them were teaming up for a two-on-two Spirit Fighting match, they needed to come up with a new team name.

Qiangu Changkong was not like Ning Rongrong, but the name he chose was full of adolescent delusions—Reaching for the Moon in the Sky.

At the same time the two stepped onto the Spirit Arena, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were still searching for their tracks inside the Great Spirit Arena.

Tang San did not know they would participate in a two-on-two Spirit Fighting match, and under normal circumstances, contestants would participate in Spirit Fighting using their real names.

After waiting for a long time while listening to the broadcasts in the Great Spirit Arena and never hearing Wu Qi's name, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel anxious.

If he waited any longer and Flender arrived, he wouldn't be able to poach the person right in front of him.

What he didn't know was that Flender wasn't guarding the Great Spirit Arena, but was guarding outside the entrance.

There were many people in the Great Spirit Arena, and finding someone was like looking for a needle in a haystack; guarding the entrance was the correct approach.

The teacher and student heard the team name "Reaching for the Moon in the Sky," but didn't pay much attention to it.

On the Spirit Arena.

Qiangu Changkong and Wu Qi were both Battle Soul Masters, and the two already had a tacit understanding in their coordination.

Looking at their opponents, they seemed more like a makeshift, amateur group.

After five minutes of fierce fighting, without any surprises, the two won easily.

With today's Spirit Fighting over, Wu Qi did not intend to stay in the Great Spirit Arena for long.

Walking out of the spectator area, they happened to bump into Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

The teacher and student were disguised, and Wu Qi had not been paying close attention to passersby, so he did not recognize them at first.

Tang San stood up, gave Yu Xiaogang a look, and took the initiative to step forward and catch up with Wu Qi.

"Brother Wu, please stay."

Hearing a familiar voice, Wu Qi turned around, feeling slightly puzzled, "Tang San, is there something you need?"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's unfriendly gaze, Tang San gave a dry laugh and said, "Um, are you two free? I have something I'd like to discuss with you both in private."

Ning Rongrong crossed her arms over her chest, "Tang San, what help do you want from us again?"

Getting something for nothing is the most shameful behavior!

Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San had freeloaded a Soul Ring off them!

Tang San gave an awkward smile and explained, "I came specifically to thank you. I have some decent weapons on me that I'd like to give you for self-defense. What do you think?"

Wu Qi became interested.

The Hidden Weapons Tang San was talking about were likely mechanical ones.

In this era where Soul Guidance Device technology has been lost, the power of Hidden Weapons is in a league of its own.

If he could get a few pieces from Tang San, it wouldn't hurt to study countermeasures in advance.

"Follow me."

With a wave, Wu Qi led Tang San into a lounge inside the Great Spirit Arena.

……

Tang San lightly brushed his finger across the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, and several Hidden Weapons emitting a silvery light lay upon the coffee table.

He introduced them one by one: "This one is the Zhuge Crossbow, and this one is the Silent Sleeve Arrow."

At first, he hadn't intended to take out so many Hidden Weapons, deciding instead to give each of the three one Silent Sleeve Arrow.

Having listened to Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San regarded Wu Qi as one of his own, so naturally, he wouldn't be stingy with the Hidden Weapons.

He was confident that no one could replicate his Hidden Weapons; even if Yu Xiaogang failed to take them as disciples, Wu Qi and the others would only have these few in stock, and once the arrows were used up, the other party would have no way to replenish them.

To Tang San's surprise, Ning Rongrong actually showed keen interest in the Hidden Weapons.
