Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 51: You Chen outwits and outmaneuvers the air; Tang San doesn't argue with the little girl about winning or losing.

Just like in the original story, but even earlier, Tang Hao came to Yu Xiaogang's door after Yu Xiaogang and Tang San parted ways.

However, this time, unlike a simple instruction, Tang Hao's tone towards Yu Xiaogang carried a hint of warning.

But who is Tang Hao? He is Yu Xiaogang's idol! Not only was Yu Xiaogang not afraid of her idol's threat, but she was also inexplicably excited. She then felt a sense of pride in being able to educate her idol's child.

Soon, driven by a strong sense of mission, he focused intently, flipping through books and beginning to study and select Tang San's first ring.

I'm going to take Tang San to the Soul Beast Forest as early as tomorrow morning to get his first Soul Ring!

Time flies by...

Although theoretical knowledge has been innovated in this world under the flapping of You Chen's butterfly wings, what is Yu Xiaogang's purpose in taking Tang San in?

It's to verify the correctness of their own theory!

The result of this was that he still believed Tang San's first spirit ring was the Mandragora Snake...

Meanwhile, as night fell, You Chen remained wary.

He was constantly worried about the possibility of Tang Hao suddenly showing up at his door, while at the same time looking forward to Tang Hao's arrival. He closed his eyes tightly and mentally rehearsed his response.

"If he tries to kill me just because I'm from the Spirit Hall, I'll tell him at lightning speed that I have a grudge against the current Pope. Then I'll tell him that the current Pope is a disciple of the previous Pope, and that he had a romantic relationship with Gangzi. The reason for my feud with her is that my debut work severely embarrassed her beloved." You Chen muttered to himself, even unconsciously simulating the scene of himself delivering his lines at breakneck speed in his mind.

You Chen's thoughts seem contradictory, but they are not.

He knew Tang Hao's straightforward personality very well. If the other party would come looking for him, it would only be on the first night. If he didn't come, then if his main body and Tang San didn't have any other interactions in the future, he probably wouldn't come again.

So instead of hiding, he switched back to his original account and stayed in the mansion on this day.

If Tang Hao comes today but finds himself not here, he will frequently come to stake out the place. In You Chen's calculations, this will greatly increase the possibility that his ability to switch between large and small phases will be exposed.

So he simply stayed home and waited for the rabbit to come to him.

If they don't come, that would be the best-case scenario he's hoping for.

So, while Yu Xiaogang spent the whole night researching Tang San's choice of soul rings, You Chen also stayed up all night.

The two "masters" achieved perfect synchronization that night!

If Bibi Dong knew, she would be very happy! Happy that her little brother could follow in Master You Chen's footsteps! Perhaps he could even gain real knowledge from him!

You Chen stared wide-eyed, trying to comfort himself with this thought.

Given his physical condition, not sleeping for one night is no big deal for him.

But under the pressure of Tang Hao's possible arrival at any moment, and having to pretend not to know and act as if he was studying something, was indeed a huge drain on his mental energy.

Finally, the sky began to lighten, but Tang Hao... still did not come!

You Chen breathed a sigh of relief, a genuine smile of relaxation spreading across his face.

With his current strength, it's not surprising that he's involved with a Title Douluo. If he didn't know, that would be one thing, but now that he does, even though Tang Hao has no reason to attack him and the chance of him failing is less than 1%, he still feels like he's walking on thin ice.

When it comes to one's own life, one always worries about whether there have been any miscalculations or oversights.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

You Chen found his bed and pounced on it...

I fell asleep instantly!

Just as You Chen was falling into a deep, baby-like sleep, Tang San, who had already learned that dormitories were divided by grade except for work-study students, came to Dormitory 6, where the first-year students were located, and went to find the door.

knock knock.

"Who is it...?"

A knock sounded on the door. Most of the students were still in bed and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Tang San didn't respond. Since he had already knocked and greeted them, he simply walked into the dormitory and quickly looked around the large room.

Tang San frowned as he failed to find his target.

However, he soon spotted Xiao Wu, who had just finished washing up. His eyes lit up, and he waved his hand, asking, "Aren't you the girl from back then? By the way, where's that guy who was with you yesterday? Where is he now?"

"You rascal, it's you."

Xiao Wu yawned, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, and pouted, "What are you doing here looking for Youxing so early in the morning?"

"I--"

Just as he was about to explain his purpose, Tang San frowned: "Wait. Why did you call me a nuisance?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu glared at Tang San: "You Xing only reminded you a couple of times, didn't he? Where did you get such hostility and become so fierce? Of course you're an annoying person..."

Xiao Wu muttered to herself, thinking, "She seems like she's got a strangely nice vibe, but unfortunately, she doesn't seem very bright. She got tricked into becoming someone's apprentice with just a few words..."

It must be said that Tang San is not good-looking, but Xiao Wu naturally felt a bit of goodwill towards him because of the scent of that half-soul beast, especially the Blue Silver Grass from her diet.

As for what Xiao Wu said, that Tang San disliked You Chen because he was mean to her...

The real reason was that she found Yu Xiaogang very annoying. Not to mention that she was sloppy and a liar, the most important thing was that she was mean to her!

Tang San blindly sided with Yu Xiaogang, so Xiao Wu naturally found Tang San annoying...

However, Xiao Wu herself felt that these words were too naive, so she used You Chen as a shield.

The problem is... Tang San had no idea about the intricacies involved.

"That guy insulted my teacher first!"

He was only anxious and angry because Xiao Wu spoke up for You Chen, and he immediately began to explain.

At the same time, he didn't forget to give Xiao Wu a warning and advice, thinking he was being kind: "Don't believe his nonsense!"

Seeing Tang San defending Yu Xiaogang again, Xiao Wu became increasingly displeased. She narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you talking about... I just accidentally kicked him, and I apologized afterwards, didn't I? That guy is such a grown-up, yet he still holds a grudge, and then he acts so fierce towards me just because he's an adult! This kind of guy is obviously not a good person!"

Tang San was momentarily stunned by Xiao Wu's angry expression and couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

How can he explain such subjective and idealistic judgments as "holding a grudge," "fierce," or "appearing"?

Are you expecting him to argue that his teacher actually "seems to be a good person"?

"So, what do you think? You actually agree with what I said, right?"

Seeing Tang San stunned and speechless, Xiao Wu assumed that he had been persuaded by her "reasoning" and had also regarded the bad guy Yu Xiaogang as an "enemy," standing on the same side as her and sharing the same hatred.

She suddenly found Tang San pleasing to the eye again and revealed a sweet smile.

Tang San was dazzled by Xiao Wu's smile, his face inexplicably flushed, and he lowered his head.

He thought to himself, "I am, after all, an adult soul. Why should I argue with a little girl like her? Enough, enough, let's not continue arguing about this pointless thing."

"Hey, mistress, you're here."

Just then, Yu Xiaogang walked in with a joyful expression on her face.
