บท 184: Chapter 184: Tang San: "Oscar, Are You Willing to Give Up Your Cultivation?"
Tang San said, "If you want to learn my technique, you'll have to abandon your current cultivation and start over by practicing this new technique. Are you willing to do that?"
"Moreover, it took me ten years just to get started with this technique."
Tang San exaggerated a bit, but he wasn't lying entirely. In this world, it hadn't taken him nearly as long to master it, but that was because he had a foundation from his previous life.
Oscar's excited expression froze. He hadn't expected that to practice the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he would have to give up his current cultivation and spend ten years just to reach the basics.
Still, Oscar didn't want to give up on the opportunity just yet. Maybe he could learn it without having to abandon his cultivation. "Tang San, let me try. Maybe I can learn the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track without starting over?"
Tang San, remembering Oscar's loyalty and bravery in the Star Dou Forest, felt conflicted. In the end, he agreed reluctantly, "Alright, Oscar. I'll let you give it a try."
Even though Tang San agreed, he knew Oscar wouldn't be able to learn the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track without practicing the Mysterious Heaven Technique, which required its specific internal energy.
Su Ming, who had been listening nearby, couldn't help but feel disdain. Tang San's claim that Oscar would need to abandon his current cultivation and switch to the Mysterious Heaven Technique was just an excuse.
In the future, when Huo Yuhao joined the Tang Sect, Tang Ya had given him the Mysterious Heaven Technique without requiring him to abandon his existing cultivation. So, Tang San simply didn't want to share this world's version of his "cheat" so easily.
Tang San wasn't even offering to let Oscar try practicing the Mysterious Heaven Technique. He probably feared that Oscar might actually succeed.
At that moment, both Yu Xiaogang and Flender had similar thoughts, admiring Tang San's abilities and assuming it was because he was the son of the famed Haotian Douluo.
Su Ming, if he could hear their thoughts, would certainly have mocked them for not questioning the origins of Tang San's techniques in a world without such methods. Instead, they blindly attributed it to Tang San's lineage.
Oscar, excited by Tang San's agreement, practically jumped on Tang San, ready to give him a celebratory kiss, but Tang San quickly pushed Oscar's face away with a grimace.
"Calm down, Oscar! Be serious. Without the proper technique, it's really hard to learn this. Don't get ahead of yourself. Also, I'm straight."
Oscar shrugged it off, still thrilled to have a chance. If it didn't work, he figured he could always go to Su Ming later for help.
Su Ming, amused, thought to himself, You really think I'd teach you Lingbo Weibu? Not happening. He was only willing to teach Ning Rongrong because it would raise her favor toward him. Plus, once he gave her a rare herb to evolve her martial spirit, their relationship would be solidified.
Unlike in his past life, where girls would accept gifts without showing much in return, Su Ming knew that in this world, once someone truly recognized your kindness, winning them over wasn't too difficult.
That was why Xiao Wu had fallen for the rather plain-looking Tang San in the original story—he treated her well.
Of course, some girls were more aloof and needed a different approach. For now, though, the situation with the academy's two support-type soul masters was settled: Su Ming would train Ning Rongrong, and Tang San would deal with Oscar. They had seven days to show Yu Xiaogang some results.
Naturally, Yu Xiaogang was most interested in seeing how Ning Rongrong turned out, given that Su Ming had promised significant results. As for Oscar, Tang San had only said he would "try," so expectations were lower.
Yu Xiaogang then said, "Alright, we'll cancel today's weighted training. Tang San, come with me for a moment. The rest of you, meet at the training ground tonight. For now, focus on your cultivation."
Yu Xiaogang was grateful that Su Ming had given him an excuse to cancel the grueling run for Ning Rongrong, knowing that he couldn't handle the wrath of a titled Douluo if things went wrong.
He then took Tang San aside to teach him more about external spirit bones and learn more about Tang San's Eight Spider Lances. Previously, Yu Xiaogang hadn't bothered to teach Tang San about these things because he hadn't expected Tang San to acquire one.
Meanwhile, Su Ming turned to Xiao Wu. "I'm planning to teach Rongrong Lingbo Weibu. Do you want to join?"
Although he and Xiao Wu were now together, Su Ming respected her feelings and wanted her input. After all, he had told Xiao Wu that he might not stay with just one woman and had given her the chance to think it over.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu had only hesitated briefly before giving him her answer through her actions. She made it clear that she didn't mind him having other women, as long as he was honest and kept her informed. She just wanted a place in his heart.
Su Ming, touched by her understanding, had responded passionately to her feelings.
Still, Su Ming found Xiao Wu's attitude surprising. He recalled how jealous she had been in the original story when Ning Rongrong and Huo Wu had kissed Tang San, even retaliating fiercely in one instance.
Xiao Wu, warmed by Su Ming's respect for her opinion, decided to let Su Ming focus on Ning Rongrong. She didn't want to be a third wheel, and besides, Lingbo Weibu wouldn't be of much use to her.
"Su Ming, you go ahead and teach Rongrong. It's not something I really need," she said with a smile.
