Chapter 10 The Master Who Died in Public and His Disciple Who Lost Subsidies (The Beginning of Their Fate)

Just as Light Feather Douluo was carrying Han Li and soaring into the sky, two people stepped down from a carriage at the gate of Notting City. They were Tang San and his apprentice, who had just returned after obtaining their first spirit rings.

Due to Yu Xiaogang's injury, the trip, which should have only taken a week, was extended to ten days to accommodate him. Even so, Yu Xiaogang still looked somewhat pale and walked with a limp.

He was instructing Tang San to go to the Spirit Hall for recertification and to collect the Soul Master subsidy when he heard the exclamations of passersby.

"Look in the sky! It looks like a person. Could it be some important figure visiting Nottingham?"

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang also subconsciously looked up at the sky. Tang San even used his Purple Demon Eye to take in the scene in the sky.

"There were three people: an adult holding two children, with ice-blue wings and the Spirit Hall insignia on their bodies." Tang San said, glancing at his teacher and asking curiously, "Teacher, do you know who these people are?"

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback, then quickly asked, "Xiao San, are there any other characteristics?"

Tang San thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "His hair is also silver, and he seems to have a scar on his left cheek, which is also blue."

"I heard that..." Yu Xiaogang paused suddenly, then continued casually, "I've heard that if your description is correct, he should be a Venerable of the Spirit Hall, the Light Feather Douluo, a Super Douluo of at least level 95."

What is he doing here? As if he had just realized something, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed, and he grabbed Tang San, asking urgently, "By the way, Xiao San, you just said he was holding two children in his arms?"

Tang San hadn't recovered from the shock of his teacher's answer when he felt a pain in his arm. Seeing his teacher's expression, he subtly pulled his arm away before replying, "Yes, he was indeed holding two children. Teacher, are you thinking of something?"

"Come on, I'll go to the Spirit Hall with you. They actually kept such an important matter a secret."

Yu Xiaogang did not answer Tang San's question. Instead, he hurriedly walked towards the Spirit Hall, his face still showing a hint of anger. Even his still-healing buttocks seemed to be less painful.

Seeing his teacher so energetic, Tang San swallowed the words he wanted to say and followed behind, chasing after the Spirit Hall.

Soon, Tang San and his disciples arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Hall. The usually quiet entrance was now bustling with activity and noise.

People kept congratulating Matthew and Su Yuntao at the door, and some even handed them gifts.

Alright, no need to ask anymore. Before they even got close, the two who rushed over learned the news from the conversation of passersby.

Han Li, the young master Han, did not awaken his martial soul at the seventh level of the innate realm as rumored a few days ago, but rather at the level of full innate soul power. The commotion just now was caused by him.

A titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall personally came to take him as his disciple; a dragon has emerged in Notting City!

Needless to say, Matthew and Su Yuntao, who were already close to Han Li, saw their status rise accordingly. Not to mention, Su Yuntao, the steward, personally presided over Han Li's martial soul awakening ceremony.

Of course, those who had the means to send gifts also sent one to the city lord's mansion; people from different social classes naturally had their own ways of dealing with the world.

Some people saw Yu Xiaogang approaching and nodded in greeting, but seeing his unpleasant expression, they didn't come closer. Yu Xiaogang had lived here for over ten years, and his identity was already known to everyone. Although people secretly mocked him, he was, after all, surnamed Yu and a level 29 Great Soul Master, someone they couldn't afford to offend.

Matthew and Su Yuntao also saw Yu Xiaogang and nodded as a greeting. He was an old acquaintance, having received a lot of money from the Spirit Hall. Although their relationship wasn't exactly harmonious, they were in a good mood today and didn't care.

But to their surprise, Yu Xiaogang walked straight up to them and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Why did you hide Han Li's whereabouts? Why didn't you inform me?"

Yu Xiaogang spoke out angrily, and his voice was not quiet. The originally lively scene immediately became completely silent.

Matthew was taken aback at first, then anger surged up in his heart, and his good mood was completely ruined.

"How dare you, Yu Xiaogang! Who do you think you're talking to?"

"When did it become your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's place to interfere in the affairs of our Spirit Hall?"

"And I'm just letting you know, who do you think you are? His Holiness the Pope?"

Yu Xiaogang was publicly reprimanded. His face turned red, and his fists clenched involuntarily. "Ma Xiunuo, I remember I told you that if any Soul Masters with good talent came along, you should let me know. You promised me that."

Matthew didn't expect Yu Xiaogang to retort, so he simply abandoned any pretense of politeness and sneered, "Yu Xiaogang, are you still asleep? Putting aside the fact that Xiao Li is my junior, even if he weren't, I wouldn't entrust a talented child to you."

"First of all, this is my duty. Don't forget, you are not a member of our Spirit Hall. Your surname is Yu. Secondly, you know in your heart whether your so-called 'Ten Core Competencies of Spirit' was written by you personally. Finally, I have never promised to introduce you to any disciples."

"If you truly have any shame, you should go back and properly teach the students of Notting Academy, instead of continuing to freeload. Also, from today onwards, I can't control what happens elsewhere, but as long as I'm still here, the Spirit Hall of Notting City will no longer provide you with Spirit Master subsidies. I will subsequently report your actions to a higher-level Spirit Hall, and I will bear all the consequences."

"Count me in too."

Su Yuntao, who was standing to the side, also stepped forward, supported Matthew, who was trembling with anger, and added, while casting a look of disdain at Yu Xiaogang.

"You, you all..."

Yu Xiaogang trembled all over, pointed at the two people in front of him, his injuries were not fully healed, and in his anger, he fainted.

Tang San quickly helped his teacher up, preventing him from falling to the ground, but his gaze towards Matthew and Su Yuntao had turned icy cold.

A teacher for a day is a father for life. These two people insulted his teacher in public, which is a death sentence for them.

Furthermore, he had also learned about the previous situation. He and Han Li were both born with full innate soul power, but just because his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, the people of the Spirit Hall treated him completely differently and even ignored him outright.

If it weren't for his teacher, he probably wouldn't have been able to obtain a hundred-year-old spirit ring, right?

Today's humiliation will be avenged in the future. This happened because he was not strong enough. Tang San will remember this grudge.

Only then did Su Yuntao see Tang San. He paused for a moment, then realized, "Isn't this the Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power that I awakened? How did he end up with Grandmaster?"

However, it was only when he saw the Nottingham Academy uniform he was wearing that he came to his senses.

He looked at Tang San and said earnestly, "Little friend, let me remind you, don't be fooled by him. Focus on your training with the teachers at the academy and stay away from him."

Tang San glanced coldly at the two of them, used his body to shield Yu Xiaogang, and stretched out his right hand. A yellow spirit ring appeared above his head: "You two don't need to worry about that. Also, the liar you mentioned is my teacher. I have successfully obtained an animal spirit ring based on my teacher's theory."

"Heh, the Spirit Hall is nothing special. Tang San will remember your slander against our teacher today. Cancel my Spirit Master subsidy as well; I'd rather not accept it."

After saying that, he helped Yu Xiaogang walk towards Notting Academy, under the gaze of everyone.

Su Yuntao wanted to say something more, but Matthew stopped him and shook his head: "Forget it, there's no need to argue with a child. He'll realize his mistake later."

Su Yuntao opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "I didn't mean to cause him any trouble. I just wanted to tell him that although it's rare for a plant-based martial soul to absorb an animal's soul ring, it's not unheard of. He needs to brush up on his basic knowledge when he gets back."

Matthew was amused by his words and smiled again, but his enthusiasm had already been dampened.

He cupped his hands in greeting to those around him, then pulled Su Yuntao toward the hall. The people around him tactfully dispersed, using what had just happened as gossip, and left in twos and threes.

I'm eagerly awaiting your reading of the new book!
