SoulLand:Ascending to Godhood through Science

Tang San's eyes lit up with surprise and joy.

He never expected that, even when he thought his plans had fallen through, his original goal would be so effortlessly achieved in such an unexpected way.

It almost felt like a dream.

Tang San observed You Chen, and for once, he had a moment of introspection, reflecting on how he and his teacher had intruded uninvited into someone else's home. Yet, You Chen didn't seem to mind much. Though he was the "enemy" who had "harmed" his teacher, Tang San couldn't help but think: 'Maybe this uncle is actually a good person? Perhaps there's just a misunderstanding between him and my teacher?'

Seeing Tang San's undisguised joy and gratitude, You Chen adjusted his glasses, hiding the smile that curled up at the corners of his mouth.

'He might even have to thank me for this.'

When Tang San's anger towards You Chen had flared up earlier, the quest was triggered once again.

It was still a "defeat" type quest, but this time without additional conditions or corresponding extra rewards.

**Basic Rewards:** (Low-grade pills omitted), Spirit Ring Age Increase Card (hundred years), Spirit Bone Age Increase Card (thousand years), Celebration Fireworks.

The quest rewards were significantly reduced, yet they were still far beyond what a one-ring soul master typically deserved.

You Chen had previously anticipated that the rewards for Tang San might diminish, so he wasn't disappointed.

"Ahem."

With a light cough, You Chen composed himself, pretending to be serious as he said, "However, all of this is contingent upon you actually defeating my disciple! On this point, I won't compromise, Tang San, you understand, right?"

As he spoke, a hint of pride slipped into You Chen's voice, one he couldn't quite hide: "If you, taught by Yu Xiaogang, can truly surpass my most outstanding disciple, You Xing, then admitting I'm inferior to Yu Xiaogang wouldn't be an issue."

Even Tang San could hear the trust and satisfaction You Chen had in You Xing.

As for Tang San, after sensing You Chen's noble demeanor as an educator, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt about what he planned to do next.

Although this guilt quickly disappeared for someone as principled as Tang San when he remembered he was standing up for his teacher, turning into an unwavering (and unscrupulous) resolve!

Yet the guilt existed for even a moment.

For that alone, You Chen might have reason to be proud—proud of his acting skills. The Oscars owed him a little golden statue.

Tang San deliberately wore a solemn expression, clasping his hands as he said, "Mr. You Chen, I wasn't exaggerating to You Xing earlier. In our last match, I didn't show my full strength. To be precise, my trump card is too destructive, and I can't control it perfectly. Without an expert present to prevent accidents, it could easily lead to mishaps."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened: 'What trump card? How come I don't know about it?'

However, recalling that Tang San had "that person" behind him, Yu Xiaogang quickly calmed down. After all, being the son of Haotian Douluo, having some hidden means was only natural!

You Chen squinted slightly: "A trump card that's hard to control? You mean..."

A subtle glint of cunning flashed in Tang San's eyes as he said, "If you intervene to save You Xing during our duel, or call off the match, it would naturally imply that he couldn't withstand my attacks, proving he's weaker than me. In such a case... it would be my victory, right?"

'Just some hidden weapons, making it sound like he's got something big...'

You Chen internally scoffed, yet outwardly displayed an intrigued expression: "If that's the case, it would indeed count as your victory. I'm quite curious about what kind of method gives you such confidence, that even after seeing You Xing's strength, you still believe you have a high chance of winning. Though it might sound like I'm bragging, I believe You Xing is currently the strongest one-ring soul master in this world."

Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted: 'That confidence is just too much! It's almost arrogance!'

He was unwilling to believe this was true.

Even knowing his disciple was a twin martial spirit, the disciple of Haotian Douluo, he never thought Tang San was world number one at the one-ring stage! Let alone this boy who appeared out of nowhere!?

Yet deep down, Yu Xiaogang felt a madness and excitement at witnessing a legendary moment with his idol!

That voice he often ignored was shouting and screaming within him: "This is the idol of Yu Xiaogang! This is the confidence and dominance a god of theory should possess!"

Tang San's lips twitched upon hearing this.

He recalled You Xing's audacious demeanor and statements from the previous day.

He had thought the master and disciple were complete opposites in temperament, with nothing in common.

But now, he realized he was gravely mistaken!

Perhaps You Xing's arrogant stance, treating everyone as equals, was learned from You Chen!

'Such confidence makes it seem justified to crush him thoroughly! It makes using hidden weapons feel guilt-free!'

A sharp glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.

You Chen looked at You Xing: "What do you think? Although I agreed to your classmate's request, if you're unwilling, you can refuse yourself."

You Xing shook his head slightly: "I don't have much time to deal with the weak, but this guy barely has some value for a spar."

'I don't have much time to deal with the weak!'

Tang San suddenly recalled You Xing's initial evaluation of him from the previous day.

Now hearing this statement, which under normal circumstances would equate to disdain, Tang San inexplicably felt a sense of recognition that even he hadn't anticipated.

Damn, it's not entirely unexpected... Recalling how this monster nonchalantly swept through over a hundred peers and returned to training as if nothing happened, it would be strange if he didn't look down on everything.

It's only natural that being seen as somewhat noteworthy by him feels like an honor!

Thus, both parties finally reached an agreement.

Led by You Chen, the two pairs of teacher and student arrived at the training ground within the grand estate.

The two young men entered the arena, with You Chen standing in the center as the referee, ready to intervene if necessary.

Standing on opposite sides of the platform, both prepared for battle.

Finally, Tang San's expression became solemn as he shouted, "You Xing, be careful! Don't let me hurt you!"

With that, he charged forward.

A faint glow emanated from his right hand, the Blue Silver Grass poised and ready.

Yet You Xing remained calm, standing still without even releasing his martial spirit.
