Chapter 230 Master and Disciple, Love and Hate, the Growing Rift

Because of Yu Xiaogang's unexpected breakthrough, Han Li, who had originally planned to take the group on a short trip, decided to speed up the return journey.

As for Yu Xiaogang, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night and unusually cultivated for the entire night.

The next morning, Yu Xiaogang felt refreshed after finishing his cultivation. This was the first time he had experienced the joy that cultivation brought him since his martial spirit awakened.

Pushing open the window and feeling the slightly cool morning breeze on his face, he calmed down a bit from his previous extreme excitement.

He did indeed break through, and he had a premonition that after this breakthrough, his strength might not just stop at level 30, but there was a possibility of breaking through to a higher level.

However, even if he can continue cultivating, it will still take time, a lot of time.

He is now over fifty years old, long past the golden age of cultivation. Even if he were given the cultivation speed of innate full soul power, it would be difficult for him to quickly raise his level.

Not to mention, compared to others, he has a fatal problem: his martial soul.

His martial soul was completely different from others. Although it was a beast martial soul, it existed outside his body in a strange way. Although it possessed a strong intelligence, it did not bring him any physical enhancement whatsoever.

Otherwise, why would he be in this situation? He is clearly a beast spirit owner, yet his physical attributes are even inferior to some auxiliary weapon spirit masters.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but complain about Luo Sanpao again, clenching his fists tightly.

After a while, he slowly opened his palm. In any case, being able to continue cultivating was a good thing.

However, this matter must be kept secret for a while, as Tang Hao and Flander know his situation very well.

He was injured yesterday and broke through to a higher level today. If they just ask that damned Master Gou a few questions, they can easily deduce what happened in between.

His breakthrough, in the eyes of others, is such an unreasonable existence.

This secret absolutely must be kept in his hands, and it must not be revealed until he has sufficient strength, not even to his beloved disciple Tang San.

Anyway, Xiao San's cultivation speed is not slow, so he doesn't need this method at all, Yu Xiaogang reassured himself.

At worst, I can wait until he confirms it again and then secretly use it on my mistress.

Okay, let's do it this way. Given the mistress's level of trust in him, even if he doesn't want to tell this secret, she should be able to understand.

We still need to find an opportunity to have someone investigate the whereabouts of the thousand-year-old weakling, no, the grass dog. Yu Xiaogang has already decided that his third spirit ring will be absorbed from the grass dog's spirit ring.

He believed that the accidental replacement of his own leg bone with that of a dog was the first sign of his rise to power. He wondered if he should consider replacing the leg bone in his right leg as well.

We need to plan this out carefully. It would be best to conceal our identities and use different healing soul masters to avoid giving Master Gou any clues.

Having planned his future development, Yu Xiaogang turned his attention back to the present, and the matter of Xiao San joining the Royal Fighting Team needed to be finalized as soon as possible.

"We must advance on both fronts simultaneously, grasp both aspects firmly, and ensure that both the teacher and student achieve success." This is Yu Xiaogang's idea.

Let Tang San attract everyone's attention on the surface, while he silently accumulates strength in the dark. When he officially reveals his strength, will he amaze everyone?

Believe in yourself, stay true to your beliefs, you can do it, Yu Xiaogang, you are a true genius, not only a master of theory, but also a powerful force in the future.

If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

#Settling#

Yu Xiaogang silently brainwashed himself until his belief reached its peak before closing the window. He believed that a bright future awaited him.

-

In the training ground of the Royal Fighting Team 2, Tang San was somewhat out of sorts.

Head coach Volland arrived in the morning to assign them the morning training tasks and then left.

Tang San, who had received information from Yu Xiaogang last night, knew that he should have gone to find Qin Ming. However, he was still a little irritated because he had not received any news from Yu Xiaogang.

As a qualified disciple, he should have checked on his teacher's condition this morning, but for some reason, Xiao Wu was very reluctant to go near his teacher's room. Helpless, he had no choice but to come to the training ground with Xiao Wu first.

"Brother, why don't you go and see the master?"

Xiao Wu had learned from Tang San last night that Yu Xiaogang was injured. She had originally planned to go and visit him this morning, but for some reason, her instincts reminded her to stay away from that area.

So, she pretended to be unwell and pulled Tang San away.

But seeing Tang San's current state, she still felt a little sorry for him. In her opinion, Tang San was very concerned about the Grandmaster's condition.

Feeling Xiao Wu's concern, Tang San's somewhat agitated emotions calmed down, and he smiled at her: "It's okay, let's go over during the lunch break. The teacher should be fine."

Perhaps there is a mutual connection between master and disciple. Just as Tang San finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang appeared at the entrance of the training ground.

"Mistress, come here for a moment."

After Yu Xiaogang looked around the training ground and did not find Flander, a satisfied expression appeared on his face. He then called out to Tang San.

"Go quickly, brother."

Xiao Wu nudged Tang San and pointed to the doorway.

"Okay, you guys continue training, I'll be right back."

Tang San agreed almost without hesitation and headed towards Yu Xiaogang's location, his steps slightly hurried.

"Teacher, is that your injury?"

Tang San asked with concern, looking at Yu Xiaogang who was wearing a mask.

Although Tang San was eager to improve, he knew very well that the first thing he should do at this moment was not to ask about this, but to care about his teacher's health.

That's what he thought, and that's what he actually did.

As expected, although Yu Xiaogang's face was covered by a mask, Tang San could still read the emotion of relief in his eyes.

As expected of his good disciple, he still respects his teacher so much. It seems that his idea was right, Yu Xiaogang thought with satisfaction.

"Hey, has Flander already gone out?"

Although it was highly likely to be confirmed, Yu Xiaogang still asked a question.

"Yes, the dean left after assigning the training tasks. Judging from the direction he's going, he should be heading towards Team One."

Tang San recounted what he had observed, then looked at Yu Xiaogang, seemingly waiting for good news from him.

Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by his own disciple, Yu Xiaogang could understand his feelings.

Yu Xiaogang coughed and said, "I was just about to go too. It was already very late after the treatment last night. I also gained something from what happened during the day, and considering that Tianheng was already resting, I didn't want to disturb him."

"I came here to ask Flander to come with me, but since he's already left, I should go over now."

Yu Xiaogang chuckled, and when he mentioned that he had gained something last night, he couldn't help but straighten up a bit.

Tang San narrowed his eyes, noticing this small detail. Had he sensed something? Or had he really gained something?

Having spent so much time together, Tang San was quite familiar with this teacher. He was the kind of person who wanted to spread his knowledge around the world, so his behavior today was a bit unusual.

As for Yu Xiaogang's claim that it was too late last night and the meeting was postponed to today, Tang San didn't care that much. Yu Xiaogang's unreliability wasn't a one-off occurrence; he was used to it.

Besides, it's only a day or two later, which he can accept. Moreover, he feels that Flanders' role in this matter is more significant.

"Teacher, let me check your body again. I'm still a little worried."

Tang San made a move to squat down and examine Yu Xiaogang's left leg.

There was no way around it; he had tampered with things, and he felt a bit guilty. Plus, Yu Xiaogang was acting strangely today, so he wouldn't feel at ease unless he checked it himself.

Upon seeing Tang San's action, Yu Xiaogang instinctively took a step back with his left leg, as this concerned his secret.

He then realized that his behavior was a bit too extreme. Tang San was still a child. Although he could make some strange hidden weapons, what did he know about medicine and the human body?

"You were injured just yesterday, you must have scared your teacher. Alright, look, you've really fully recovered."

Yu Xiaogang stretched his right leg back, took half a step, and handed it to Tang San.

Aside from the things that Tang Hao supposedly taught him, everything else he taught him was taught by himself. How could Tang San possibly understand that?

"I'm also worried, and I'll feel more at ease if I see it with my own eyes."

Tang San spoke the words of a proper disciple, his tone sincere, but his eyes, which had turned purple at some point, were hidden beneath his lowered head.

Purple Demon Eye, activated.

Yu Xiaogang's actions were hard for him not to be suspicious. He wanted to see what was unusual that could make this teacher, who liked to show off, choose to be low-key and hide it from his always respectful disciple.

Feeling the gentle soul power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill flowing through his left leg, carefully stroking the area where he had been injured, Yu Xiaogang was very satisfied with Tang San's actions. This disciple truly cared about him.

However, he did not notice that Tang San's eyes, which were flashing with purple light, were already wide open.

How is this possible? He actually broke through.

Having checked Yu Xiaogang's condition just yesterday, Tang San, with the help of the Purple Demon Eye, accurately determined his current soul power level.

Moreover, in Tang San's eyes, Yu Xiaogang was radiating an indescribable and mysterious energy.

The teacher, who was practically impossible to break through to the Soul Master level, actually did. And what was the source of this miraculous energy?

Why is he hiding this from me? Didn't he say he wanted to mentor me? Or has he discovered something? Is he trying to mislead me?

In an instant, Tang San's dormant killing intent surged up again, and he actually squatted down on the spot.

"The other woman, the other woman? What's wrong?"

Yu Xiaogang noticed that Tang San had withdrawn his soul power but still hadn't stood up, so he couldn't help but call out, showing his genuine concern for Tang San's condition.

"Oh, oh, teacher, you're recovering very well. I'm so happy for you."

Tang San's thoughts were interrupted. He instantly withdrew his Purple Demon Eye and killing intent, and stood up with a smile to answer.

"Alright, I've already told you, everything will be fine. You can continue training and wait for my good news."

Yu Xiaogang didn't notice anything amiss. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder, offered a word of encouragement, and then left the training ground full of energy.

At the entrance of the training ground, Tang San's eyes flickered as he watched Yu Xiaogang's departing figure, lost in thought.
