39: Chapter 39 Yu Xiaogang's Rebirth (Seventh Update)

Tang San also stared intently at Lin Yue, his eyes full of shock and confusion.

He grew up in the same village as Lin Yue and saw her almost every day. He had never heard of her going to hunt a Spirit Beast, let alone absorbing a hundred-year spirit ring as her first one. It was said that this required extremely strong physical fitness and control over Soul Power. Even he, without understanding the specific situation, would not have been fully confident in doing so.

Lin Yue had already prepared her explanation. Hearing this, she smiled and casually made up a story: "It happened three months before school started. I went to the back mountain to practice my spear training every day and accidentally encountered a wolf that had been seriously injured by another Spirit Beast. Its speed and piercing attributes happened to match my War Spear Spirit perfectly. I gave it a try, and to my surprise, I actually managed to hunt it and successfully absorbed the spirit ring. I originally wanted to give you a surprise, Grandpa Jack, so I didn't say anything beforehand."

"Good! That's great!"

After hearing this, Old Jack was beaming with joy, excitedly slapping his thigh: "Our Saint Spirit Village has truly produced treasures! Two with Innate Full Spirit Power, and one who became a Spirit Grandmaster at age six! Amazing! Truly amazing!"

Watching Lin Yue's calm demeanor, Tang San still had some doubts in his heart, but he did not ask any further.

Everyone has their own secrets, just as he hid his twin spirits and Tang Sect techniques. There was no need to get to the bottom of it.

However, his assessment of Lin Yue in his heart had risen by more than just one level.

A six-year-old Spirit Grandmaster with a hundred-year first spirit ring—such talent was rare even in the entire Douluo Continent.

Just then, a gentle voice came from inside the gate: "Stop, it is just a misunderstanding. Let them get up."

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a middle-aged man of medium build, ordinary appearance, and wearing plain cloth clothes walking slowly toward them.

His hair was somewhat grey, and his complexion had a sickly pallor, but his eyes were exceptionally deep, as if they could see through people's hearts. He was none other than Yu Xiaogang, who had recently experienced a Rebirth.

He first glanced at the two gatekeepers kneeling on the ground, shivering. Frowning, he said coldly: "You two have completely disgraced the academy. Even with official proof from Spirit Hall, you dared to block them and even dared to attack the guests? Go receive your punishment. Your monthly wages for this month will be deducted. If there is a next time, get out."

The two gatekeepers felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They scrambled to thank him and ran away with their tails between their legs.

Yu Xiaogang then turned around. His gaze first fell on Tang San, and a trace of imperceptible excitement and obsession flashed deep within his eyes, so fast that it was impossible to catch.

He had experienced a Rebirth. At the moment his Lifespan was exhausted and he died alone in the Douluo Continent, he opened his eyes to find that he had returned to the very day Tang San was about to enter Nuoding Academy.

In his previous life, he was Tang San's teacher, the Great Master whom Tang San respected the most. Relying on his "Ten Core Competencies of Spirits" theory, he assisted Tang San step by step, from a country boy to the Sea God and Asura God who shook the continent.

But what about him?

He became a god, taking his wife and father, and ascended to the Divine Realm, yet he alone forgot his Master, leaving him behind in the mortal world. He watched as his own theories were praised by the world, but could only watch helplessly as his Lifespan ran out, turning into a handful of dust.

What good were the power, strength, and fame of the mortal world, no matter how glorious?

How could they compare to becoming a god and achieving immortality?!

He was unwilling! He was truly unwilling!

Therefore, in this life of Rebirth, he must firmly grasp Tang San. He must change his own ending. He wanted to follow Tang San and ascend to the Divine Realm together. He wanted to be a true Divine-Grade mentor and obtain true immortality!

When his gaze swept over Lin Yue beside him, a hint of obvious surprise flashed in his eyes, which then turned into a look of deep meaning.

He had been inside the gate just now and had seen everything at the entrance clearly.

This young girl, only six years old, was already a Spirit Grandmaster, and her first spirit ring was a hundred-year one. Her War Spear Spirit was also a top-tier attack system Tool Spirit. Her talent was not inferior to Tang San, who possessed Innate Full Spirit Power.

This was a person who had never appeared in his previous life; she was an unexpected variable in this life.

But what if there was a variable? Having one more Genius meant having one more path.

His goal in this life was to follow Tang San and become a god, but if he could take in another top-tier Genius Disciple like this, it would not only make his theories more convincing but also give him an extra trump card. Even if something unexpected happened on Tang San's side, he would have a backup plan.

Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face. He nodded slightly at Old Jack, then looked at Tang San and Lin Yue, and said softly: "I am the academy's theory teacher, Yu Xiaogang. The two of you—one with Innate Full Spirit Power and Blue Silver Grass, the other with Innate Full Spirit Power and a War Spear Spirit, both achieving the rank of Spirit Grandmaster at age six—are both rare geniuses. Come with me; I will take you to the administrative office to complete the enrollment procedures."

Upon hearing that he was a teacher at the academy, Old Jack hurriedly thanked him repeatedly with gratitude: "Thank you! Thank you, teacher! Please take good care of these two children!"

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang, and a strange sense of familiarity inexplicably arose in his heart, as if the person in front of him had a deep connection with him.

Having lived two lifetimes, he was extremely sensitive to such intuition. He bowed slightly to Yu Xiaogang and said respectfully: "Thank you for the trouble, teacher."

Lin Yue also nodded along, but she muttered to herself in her heart.

Yu Xiaogang? Great Master? Why did this name sound so familiar? It seemed that in her vague memories of Douluo, he was a very formidable theory Great Master?

She didn't think much more about it. She followed Tang San and walked behind Yu Xiaogang into the gate of Nuoding Academy.

Sunlight passed through the academy's tree-lined path, falling on the three figures.

Yu Xiaogang walked in the front, the corners of his mouth curling into an arc that no one noticed.

In this life, he would not only grasp Tang San, but also hold all the geniuses he could seize in his hands.

Everything he had lost, the immortality he desired—in this life, he would definitely obtain it all.

Yu Xiaogang led Tang San and Lin Yue into the academy gate. He first took them to the administrative office and, with the Innate Full Spirit Power certificate issued by Spirit Hall, successfully completed the enrollment procedures.

The teacher in charge of registration looked at the two six-year-old geniuses with Innate Full Spirit Power, their eyes lighting up. They kept saying that the academy had found treasures and became increasingly polite to Yu Xiaogang.

After all the procedures were completed, Yu Xiaogang found an excuse to send the teacher from the administrative office away and led the two children into a quiet, tree-lined path deep in the academy.

The surrounding branches and leaves were lush, isolating them from the noise outside. There was no one else around, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.
