Chapter 49: Chapter 49: A New Quest Line!
By now, You Chen's intention was clear.
He chose this moment, right after Tang San became Yu Xiaogang's disciple—a time when Tang San's principles wouldn't allow him to change his mind—to step in and create trouble for the pair.
Given Tang San's character, even if he later realized Yu Xiaogang was a fake master, a real fraud, he'd already become his disciple and would be forced to swallow the bitter truth.
Thus, he'd have to learn under Yu Xiaogang with a frustrated and self-tortured mindset.
We all know from our nine years of compulsory education that studying under a teacher you resist and rebel against doesn't lead to high learning efficiency!
Even if Yu Xiaogang didn't share his nonsensical theories and only taught from his knowledge base, which was indeed superior to many teachers at the junior academy, how could Tang San learn happily?
Tang San would still follow the misguided path Yu Xiaogang set for his martial spirit training, but this time, his efficiency in learning martial spirit knowledge would be greatly reduced.
Moreover, as You Chen's subsequent plans for Tang San unfold, Tang San might even develop resentment towards his teacher for wasting his potential and deceiving him!
This could lead to a dramatic confrontation where Tang San turns against his teacher!
At that point, the connections and support Yu Xiaogang brought to Tang San would collapse and backfire...
But for now, the teacher and student were oblivious to their potential future, still appearing united and harmonious.
"Teacher, let's prove them wrong together, prove that your theories are sound!" Tang San seemed completely unaffected by You Chen's words, looking at Yu Xiaogang with determination.
Of course, when faced with a father-like teacher and a stranger who deceived a kind girl he liked, Tang San's choice was obvious.
He always sided with those closer to him, regardless of logic.
Even if Yu Xiaogang losing to You Chen's teacher, You Xing, was a recognized fact, so what?
As long as he, the disciple, could outperform the opposing disciple, wouldn't that prove his teacher's strength?
Tang San, armed with the Mysterious Heaven Record and his innate twin martial spirits, had that confidence!
"Yes, Xiao San, let's get you registered!" Yu Xiaogang, moved by his devoted disciple, nodded.
Meanwhile...
"Hmph, that farm boy really doesn't know a good deed when he sees it! Little Junior Brother, you were clearly looking out for him, yet he still treated you that way and even wants to cause trouble!"
Xiao Wu, walking and munching with You Chen, was still upset on his behalf.
Perhaps thinking You Chen stood up for her, Xiao Wu's attitude towards him shifted from mere curiosity to genuine affection.
However, "standing up for Xiao Wu" wasn't something You Chen had considered for even a second.
His original plan was to plant a seed of distrust in Tang San towards Yu Xiaogang at that moment.
It just happened to coincide.
"Oh." He merely nodded in response to Xiao Wu's comments.
"What? I'm speaking up for you, and you just dismiss it... Whatever, that's just your personality. As a magnanimous older sister, I'll forgive your disrespect!"
While responding to Xiao Wu, You Chen was entirely focused on another matter.
Ding.
Ding.
The system, though not intelligent, had user-friendly features. For example, You Chen could set it to delay notifications during conversations or battles, only alerting him afterward.
'Hmm? Two notifications?'
You Chen raised an eyebrow.
The first notification was expected: a task related to Yu Xiaogang was completed.
As You Chen anticipated...
"Your righteousness has been argued by great scholars," with You Xing's persona, You Chen effectively acted as a scholar, rekindling Yu Xiaogang's psychological trauma concerning him.
In normal circumstances, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't be so shaken by the You Xing persona.
But in front of his newly accepted disciple, it was like an affront in front of a spouse, a severe blow.
As for confronting Yu Xiaogang personally... it would be beneath him and might attract unnecessary attention. Comparing their standing in the theoretical world, You Chen publicly denouncing Yu Xiaogang would ironically elevate Yu Xiaogang's status.
This statement is no exaggeration. It's like comparing a renowned scholar openly accusing an unknown amateur of academic fraud—it's just free publicity for the latter!
But challenging Yu Xiaogang as a child and leaving him speechless, even Bibi Dong would find it disgraceful...
This task notification was within You Chen's expectations, but the next one—
"Huh? Little Junior Brother, why did you suddenly stop?"
Xiao Wu looked at You Chen, who had suddenly stopped, his expression slightly twisted, and felt a chill, "What, what kind of face are you making? Are you just now getting angry at those two?"
"Nothing."
After a moment, You Chen composed himself, pretending nothing was amiss as they continued.
Angry?
No, he was so excited he had to control his facial muscles to prevent breaking character!
Though it seemed he didn't quite succeed...
[Mission: Despite your well-intentioned warning to Tang San about Yu Xiaogang's incompetence, Tang San, instead of appreciating it, harbors resentment due to your disrespect towards his teacher. He plans to find a chance to humiliate you! As someone destined to become a god, how can you sit idly by faced with such ungratefulness and ignorance!?
Find an opportunity to confront Tang San and defeat him!
The mission reward will increase based on the number of onlookers.
Under 10 people, receive the basic reward. Over 100 people, receive additional rewards.]
[Basic Reward: One "Marrow Cleansing", one "Sudden Insight", one "True Essence Revelation"]
[Additional Reward: "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength (Pseudo)" (Weakened to only have body refining effects due to world constraints. Even so, it's the pinnacle of body refining secrets in Douluo Continent!)]
This is a second quest line? Belonging to You Chen (II)'s storyline!?
You Chen was so shocked he temporarily overlooked the astonishing mission rewards.
To prevent misunderstanding from some readers, it should be noted that the extravagant rewards for Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's first missions are due to a significant initial boost, with further explanations to come (though the reasons are quite common).
