Chapter 109: The Master and Disciple Pair with Odd Thought Processes
"Tang... Tang San, I... I didn't expect your third soul skill to be this powerful!"
Dai Mubai said with a flushed face. It wasn't because of the damage caused by the binding, but rather out of embarrassment.
Tang San looked at Dai Mubai with a flicker of disdain in his eyes.
For an offensive soul expert in the Soul Arena, as long as they reached level thirty-five or above, breaking free from his third soul skill shouldn't be much of a problem.
But Dai Mubai?
He was a level thirty-seven Battle Soul Grandmaster, yet he couldn't escape from his third soul skill!
That White Tiger Martial Soul was utterly wasted on him!
"Mubai, you need to work harder in your cultivation!"
Tang San released Dai Mubai from his restraint, then patted him on the shoulder, saying this.
Standing not far away, Ma Hongjun was numb. After sighing, he turned around and left without a word.
Neither Dai Mubai nor Tang San noticed Ma Hongjun.
"Yeah, with the guidance of your master, you're progressing fast. I can't keep up."
Hearing this, Tang San nodded in satisfaction. Dai Mubai's recognition of his teacher's strength pleased Tang San greatly.
Tang San couldn't help but stand taller, his chest puffed out. Now you understand how strong my teacher is, don't you? Regret it, don't you? But it's too late!
His teacher would never waste time teaching someone as mediocre as Dai Mubai!
Without saying more, after a few polite exchanges with Dai Mubai, Tang San headed towards Yu Xiaogang's dormitory. Without the burden of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, Yu Xiaogang had all the time to teach him alone.
He had some questions that needed answers.
After Tang San left, the smile on Dai Mubai's face gradually faded, eventually turning into a trace of faint killing intent, but this flicker of killing intent was quickly suppressed.
"I've deceived him so well, but what if... what if one day he gets killed by a soul master of the same level? What then?"
Dai Mubai thought to himself.
Tang San wasn't weak, but he imagined himself to be far stronger than he actually was.
With a mere level thirty-two soul power, he thought he was invincible in the Soul Grandmaster realm. But in reality?
Without those hidden weapons of his, his combat power was at best comparable to a level thirty-five Soul Grandmaster.
And if he were to encounter a soul master that countered his abilities, that level thirty-five would have to be adjusted even lower.
"Forget it, why am I even thinking about this? He has his father protecting him. There's no way something like that will happen."
Dai Mubai shook his head, thinking to himself.
Time passed, and soon Tang San arrived at Yu Xiaogang's door.
Knock knock knock...
After knocking three times, Tang San called out, "Teacher."
As his voice fell, Yu Xiaogang's voice came from inside.
"Come in, the door's not locked."
"Yes!"
After Yu Xiaogang had him sit down, Tang San finally spoke up, "Teacher, during our last trip to the Star Dou Forest, when Oscar obtained his soul ring, a thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit's head soul bone dropped."
"That soul bone wasn't absorbed by Oscar but was kept by Dean Flender. He said it would be distributed after we returned to the academy, but several months have passed, and Dean Flender still hasn't mentioned distributing the soul bone."
Tang San paused here.
Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Tang San in surprise.
That soul bone was dropped when Oscar absorbed his soul ring—what did it have to do with Tang San?
Moreover, the Soft Bone Rabbit was intercepted and injured by Flender himself.
Throughout the entire process, none of this had anything to do with Tang San...
Yu Xiaogang's mouth slightly opened as if he wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out, leaving him hesitant and silent.
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Yu Xiaogang.
Wait, it must have been Oscar and Flender who killed the Soft Bone Rabbit, which caused Xiao Wu to flee and drew the attention of the two hundred-thousand-year beast kings.
By that logic, this thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit head soul bone should rightfully be given to Tang San as compensation!
But, would the thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit head soul bone really be suitable for Tang San?
It was only a thousand-year soul bone!
Tang San had already absorbed a thousand-year Mandala Snake torso soul bone. Would absorbing another thousand-year soul bone, like the Soft Bone Rabbit's, affect his foundation?
Yu Xiaogang felt conflicted.
Tang San was equally troubled. Whether or not he intended to absorb the soul bone, he believed it should be compensated to him!
However, Flender's failure to distribute the soul bone had left Tang San feeling quite dissatisfied. He thought Flender was either planning to keep it for himself or give it to his favored student, Ma Hongjun!
Flender: "..."
Originally, Flender had planned to allocate the thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit head soul bone to Xiao Wu. But who would have expected Xiao Wu to turn out to be a hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast!
Then, Flender considered giving it to Oscar since Oscar had absorbed the soul ring from the Soft Bone Rabbit, making the soul bone a perfect match for him.
However, Flender feared that Oscar wouldn't be able to handle the karma associated with it. The revenge of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast was not something to take lightly, and Oscar couldn't avoid hunting soul beasts for the rest of his life, could he?
What if the enemies could sense the aura of this soul bone?
As for Ma Hongjun and himself, Flender hadn't even considered them.
The attributes of the soul bone didn't suit them, and as a Soul Sage, the value of a thousand-year soul bone was almost negligible to him. Absorbing it wouldn't be of much use.
Flender hadn't distributed the soul bone because he was planning to give it to a "fated person" in the future or to an outstanding student.
As for Tang San, Flender hadn't thought about him at all.
Strictly speaking, the Soft Bone Rabbit was Flender's prey, so it was up to him to decide who to give the soul bone to.
In the world of soul masters, it was an unwritten rule that whoever led the team to acquire a soul ring had the right to distribute any soul bones that dropped.
Flender had done nothing wrong in this regard.
Oscar and Dai Mubai didn't say anything, but Tang San had always felt that the soul bone should belong to him.
"Xiao San, are you planning to absorb this soul bone?"
Yu Xiaogang asked seriously.
"I don't support you absorbing this soul bone. In the future, there might be a more suitable one for you. Don't lose out on something greater for something lesser."
A thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit head soul bone was about as useful as a chicken rib to a strong soul master—something that's tasteless to eat but too wasteful to discard.
If it were a ten-thousand-year soul bone, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't have any objection, but this thousand-year one...
"Teacher, I'm just against Dean Flender's approach. By right, this soul bone should be compensation for me. How it gets used should be up to me."
Tang San spoke sincerely. That's how he felt, but he wasn't able to directly confront Flender about it.
He believed that given Yu Xiaogang's relationship with Flender, having Yu Xiaogang address the matter would likely be more effective.
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao San, you're right. The soul bone should be yours to control!"
"I'll go speak with Flender now and make sure justice is served for you!"
