Chapter 20: Conflict

Looking at the plain dark-haired boy in front of him, Vaiss once again reminded just how powerful the blue silver grass emperor's bloodline was, it could turn such a weak blue silver grass into a powerful top martial soul and could even beautify Tang San.

Ah Yin was excited, this was her son! She could feel the blood resonance between them, if it weren't for Vaiss who warned that she couldn't reveal herself, she would have flown to Tang San's side the moment she felt the resonance. Since Vaiss helped her recover and let her know about the truth of that night, she felt indebted to Vaiss and subconsciously followed his words. 

Tang San looked at Vaiss with slight hostility, looking at Xiao Wu who stood close to Vaiss, he felt Vaiss was going to take her away. And Tang San didn't know why but he didn't like Vaiss, he felt that Vaiss would be his nemesis. Killing intent flashed in Tang San's eyes.

Vaiss and Ah YIn noticed this, Vaiss smiled, he liked it that Tang San saw him with hostility, he wanted to see Tang San glaring at him with such eyes while being mortified after losing to him.

Ah Yin frowned, how could her child show killing intent to someone he just saw? She wanted to educate Tang San a little, and if it weren't for her hatred of Tang Hao and didn't want to see him, she probably went to him and asked him how he taught her son.

"Hello, I'm Vaiss. I'm here to pick up Xiao Wu.."

"What? Why?"

"Because her talent is wasted here, I will take her to the capital, where she can get better resources and teachers so she can grow strong faster."

"No!"

Tang San refused, he wouldn't let Xiao Wu leave, especially not with Vaiss, he felt that if she left, he wouldn't see her again.

Ever since Xiao Wu started avoiding him, he felt he was going to lose something precious to him.

"Xiao Wu already agreed on leaving with me and who are you to refuse in her stead?"

"I'm Xiao Wu's brother!"

"Brother, I already decided. I'm going."

"Xiao wu…"

Tang San frowned.

"Xiao Wu, if you want to grow stronger, I can ask teacher to guide you. I believe with teacher guidance you will grow faster, after all, my teacher is the first in spirit master theory!"

Vaiss wanted to laugh, from what he knew about the original story, the training Yu Xiaogang came up with was just running with weights and medicinal baths. While it had some effect on strengthening the body, the effect on spirit power cultivation was minimal.

The reason it worked in the original was that the Shrek seven monsters' talent was high, it wouldn't have a good effect on others with low talent.

And even that was something he plagiarized from an old book in the Spirit Hall library, it was an outdated training method.

"Xiao San, what's wrong?"

Yu Xiaogang walked behind Tang San, he just happened to walk by and found Tang San.

"Teacher!"

Tang San was happy, thinking that Yu Xiaogang would definitely be able to convince Xiao Wu to stay. Tang San told Yu Xiaogang everything.

Yu Xiaogang frowned, he also didn't want Xiao Wu to go with Vaiss. Although Xiao Wu was not his apprentice, he regarded her as Tang San's helper, a member of a team he wanted to build as Tang San as the center.

The purpose was for Tang San to lead the team and win the Continental Spirit Master Academy Tournament, if Tang San coil win the tournament, he could prove to the world that his theory was right and that he, Yu Xiaogang, was not trash!

He put his hands behind him, put on an indifferent and calm master look, bypassed Vaiss, and walked in front of Xiao Wu. Vaiss sneered, he wanted to see what Yu Xiaogang wanted to say. 

"Xiao Wu, if you wish for strength, you don't have to follow him. I'll give you a set of training, I'll guarantee that you will grow strong if you follow it."

Yu Xiaogang said with confidence, he believed that Xiao Wu would be happy and accept his proposal. 

Xiao Wu looked at Yu Xiaogang, she disliked him. At first, she had a good impression of him since Yu Xiaogang took great care of Tang San and by extension, her. She felt that he was slandered when she heard about the story that he was invited by the dean but he never teaches and only eats and drinks shamelessly in the academy. 

But after Xiao Wu began to distance herself from Tang San, she noticed that the story was true. She never saw Yu Xiaogang teach classes, he always said that he was busy researching and improving his theories but she often saw him walking around the academy aimlessly. She even saw him just brushing off the students that came to him for advice.   

She only came into contact with the human world for a few years but she knew that a teacher's duty was to help students clear their doubts and point them to a clear path. What kind of teacher brushes off a student when they ask for help?  

"No, I already decided that I'm going!"

Xiao Wu crossed her hands and turned her face away, Vaiss gave her a thumbs up in his heart.

Yu Xiaogang frowned and was a little angry, he thought Xiao Wu was too wilful, he already said that he would train her, how dare she refuse.

Tang San felt the same, he thought that Xiao Wu should be grateful that Yu Xiaogang offered to help her.

"Xiao Wu, don't be wilful and apologize to teacher. You don't know how precious teacher guidance is."

Tang San said, but how could Xiao Wu be threatened? 

"No!"

"Xiao Wu!"

"I said I don't want to!"

Tang San glared at Xiao Wu and vice versa, no one was willing to back down. Tang San didn't know when and why Xiao Wu changed so much.

"Well, let me say something, this teacher said he will train Xiao Wu but I don't seem to see any dedicated training room or mimesis room, and there is no food-type spirit master.

Pray tell, how do you want to train her? Or do you want to tell me you want to train her without these basic requirements?"

Vaiss smiled and stood in front of Xiao Wu, Yu Xiaogang was silent, he also wanted a better facility but he didn't have it. And he couldn't put down his pride to ask his father for help.

"Only incompetent teachers rely on better facilities to train their students, even without it I can train her and let her get better results."

Yu Xiaogang said while raising his head, he was so deep into the act as a grandmaster, he could utter such rubbish, only a fool like Tang San would believe his lie.

"Such big words! This teacher, since you said all that, then tell me how are you going to train Xiao Wu?"

"Weight training and medicinal baths! The weight training will temper their body and the medicinal baths will heal them and increase their spirit power!"

Yu Xiaogang proudly said but Vaiss sneered.

"That's it? 

Without dedicated training equipment, weight training efficiency will be reduced, while medicinal baths work, use too much and will leave residue inside the body and slow spirit power absorption, it is much better and safer to use mimesis rooms.

And food-type spirit masters can help accelerate training without side effects in many ways.

So, without all these resources and facilities, how do you guarantee you can let Xiao Wu grow faster?

If you still insist you can let Xiao Wu grow with just your guidance, then you are a waste teacher who fools students with high talent, gives them random guidance, and claims you raise them when they eventually rise to prominence. All the while, you never actually do anything or barely do anything to teach them."

Yu Xiaogang held his chest, his face pale and his eyes red, he was fuming but he couldn't say anything. He didn't know other training methods except for weight and medicinal baths.

Tang San, on the other hand, didn't think too much, he only saw Vaiss insulting his teacher.

"How dare you insult my teacher! Apologize!"

Tang San's eyes were cold and he no longer hid his killing intent.

Ah Yin felt that her son's character was too bad and that he was unreasonable. Ah Yin agreed with Vaiss, she thought if there was a way to accelerate her son's growth and her son could go to a place that has access to it, then why should her son stay?

And although Vaiss's words were sharp, it was facts, as they said the truth hurts the most, and this was something she experienced deeply, so how did it become an insult?

She began to doubt her own son a little, is this really her son or was it because of Tang Hao's bad influence and lack of guidance?

"This student, I didn't insult him, I only said facts."

Vaiss smiled calmly but in Tang San's eyes it was a mockery, how could he let his teacher be insulted by a mere boy?

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and an idea appeared in his head.

"How about we bet, we will fight and if I win you need to kneel to my teacher three times to apologize and Xiao Wu will stay, how about it?"

Tang San looked provocatively at Vaiss, he never doubted that he could lose, after all, he had Mysterious Heaven Technique.

Vaiss shook his head in his heart, he didn't know whether Tang San read too many novels or was influenced by his past life, fighting with a woman as the prize while disregarding her own will. If there was such a thing, then Yu Xiaogang would have been beaten by Flender for Liu Erlong's love.

It may work back when Xiao Wu was still a simple soul beast, but now that she transformed, it would be weird if it worked.

Xiao Wu was very unhappy and mad, how could Tang San bet her arbitrarily, who does he think he is?

Ah Yin was the same, this reminded her of her past when Tang Hao and Tang Xiao fought to determine who would get her, she was mad about it, and thinking about it now, it was a fight not for her love but for her soul ring and bone.

"It doesn't seem that this student will give up and let us leave peacefully, stupid rabbit, do you believe me?"

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment but she thought that Vaiss was from Spirit Hall and the son of the pope, although he was younger, he must have enjoyed resources and help beyond her imagination, so his strength shouldn't be bad.

"Okay, I believe you."

Xiao Wu took Vaiss' hands and was about to whisper something but Vaiss's voice suddenly rang in her head.

"If you want to warn me about hidden weapons, I already know."

Xiao Wu was surprised by the sudden voice.

"Calm down and don't exclaim, I'll explain later. And don't worry, Tang San is not my opponent."

Xiao Wu forced herself to calm down and nodded. Tang San saw Xiao Wu holding Vaiss's hand and the two were gazing at each other, in his eyes, they were flirting.

Tang San's face twisted in anger, he felt his head become a little green, and he wanted to tear the two apart.

"Are you fighting or not?! If you're afraid, just kneel obediently and swear you'd never come near me and Xiao Wu ever again!"

Tang San roared, Xiao Wu turned her head, she didn't want to see him. Vaiss still had a calm smile.

"Sure, let's do it now, my time is limited."

"Hmph, you'll regret this."

Tang San sneered, he planned to cripple Vaiss and destroy his handsome face. Yu Xiaogang had already recovered, he looked at Vaiss and Xiao Wu coldly and sneered. He never doubted that Tang San would win.

The four went to an empty field, Tang San and Vaiss stood on the field. Seeing there was a fight, a couple of students came to see the excitement.

"Tang San, level 19, martial soul Blue Silver Grass."

A yellow ring rose from his feet. The students were jealous and envy Tang San's yellow soul ring and his talent, level 19 at 8 years old, no one except Xiao Wu could match Tang San's cultivation.

"Vaiss, I'll tell you my level and martial soul if you can force me to use any."

Vaiss put his hands behind him and looked at Tang San playfully.

His words drew different reactions from the peanut gallery.

"Heh, what an arrogant word. I've seen Tang San defeat a level 21 senior, this guy will end horribly."

"Tang San, beat him up."

"Hmph, he's just a pretty face. Wait, he'll probably eat dirt later."

The male students hated Vaiss for his handsome face, even the one who hated Tang San was cheering for him.

"Little brother, just surrender if you get hurt, my sister will help you deal with your opponent later."

"Yes, little brother, just surrender and come to sister, what's so good about fighting? There are a lot of snacks in my sister's room, you can eat anything you want, isn't it better?"

"Roll, he's my brother, why should he go with you sluts!"

The female students fell in love the moment they saw Vaiss and wanted to take this cutie away and play with him.

Vaiss was already used to this, what could he say, everyone found him irresistible.
