Soul Land: Bibi Dong Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 46: Meeting the Master Again

"Teacher!"

After returning to Shrek Academy, Su Mo and the others encountered the master at the academy's entrance. Tang San was overjoyed and immediately ran forward.

Swish~

Bibi Dong's figure suddenly appeared behind Su Mo, though no one noticed when she got there.

"…"

Su Mo was speechless and decided to pretend he didn't see her.

"Who is that?"

"Xiao Wu, do you know?"

Ma Hongjun and the others, curious about Tang San's reaction, turned to Xiao Wu for answers.

"Yes, yes, he's Brother Xiao San's teacher, the master everyone’s heard about!"

Xiao Wu said with a cheerful smile.

"So, that’s the master..."

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's introduction, Dai Mubai and the others brightened with realization.

They had long known that Tang San had a powerful teacher guiding him, but they didn’t expect it to be the legendary master.

"Let me introduce you all. This is the teacher I've been telling you about!"

When Su Mo and the others approached, Tang San formally introduced Yu Xiaogang to everyone.

"Hello, Master!"

"Hello, Master!"

Dai Mubai and the others greeted him one after another.

"Master, long time no see!"

Su Mo also greeted with a smile.

Although he didn’t like Yu Xiaogang, harboring resentment just because he had been rejected as a disciple seemed entirely unnecessary.

"Yes, it’s been six years since I last saw you. I didn’t expect you to grow so quickly and even join Shrek Academy!"

"I admit, I underestimated you back then!"

Yu Xiaogang sighed when he saw Su Mo, acknowledging that he had indeed misjudged him.

Now that Su Mo was part of Shrek Academy, he would be working alongside Tang San and the others as a team. Yu Xiaogang didn’t want Su Mo to hold any grudges against him, so he spoke up to clear the air.

For Tang San's sake, he was willing to lower his pride.

For instance, in the future, when Tang San reveals his twin martial souls, Yu Xiaogang would rush to the Spirit Hall to deceive secrets about training twin martial souls from the Pope, Bibi Dong, before she received the news.

"It’s fine. Compared to Tang San, I still fall short!"

Su Mo responded with a self-deprecating yet carefree smile.

He accepted that his innate talent wasn't as good as Tang San's, but the future was still uncertain!

Thus, a strong sense of pride and confidence remained evident in Su Mo’s demeanor.

It was precisely this confidence that allowed Su Mo to be so at ease.

Yu Xiaogang took a deep look at Su Mo. Once again, he had to admit that this young man was truly different from others.

Just like back then—when Yu Xiaogang rejected him, Su Mo didn't beg or plead; instead, he decisively turned and left.

Yu Xiaogang nodded, refraining from saying more as he took Tang San away.

"Quick, tell us what happened between you and the master!"

"Yes, Su Mo, do tell..."

As soon as Yu Xiaogang and Tang San left, Ning Rongrong and the others, full of curiosity, crowded around Su Mo, eager for details.

From the conversation between Yu Xiaogang and Su Mo, it wasn’t hard to tell there was a story there—a big one!

"It’s nothing, really. Six years ago, I approached the master to become his disciple before Tang San did," Su Mo began candidly, seeing their curiosity.

"But when he found out that my innate soul power was only at level 2, he rejected me."

He had no obligation to keep Yu Xiaogang's actions a secret.

"Ah..."

"The master actually rejected you..."

"Wait, did you say your innate soul power was only level 2?"

"How is that possible..."

"..."

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Dai Mubai and the others’ expressions changed. They hadn’t expected such a history between Su Mo and Yu Xiaogang.

Then, they were further shocked by Su Mo's innate soul power level. One by one, they widened their eyes in disbelief as they looked at him.

This was the first time they learned that Su Mo's innate soul power had been so low.

"You... you’re the real monster here, aren’t you?"

"With such poor talent, you still managed to cultivate this fast, and your combat strength is so impressive!"

"And you even came up with the soul tool fusion!"

"..."

Everyone was in awe of Su Mo.

Zhu Zhuqing was utterly stunned. Her talent couldn’t be called exceptional, just that of an average genius.

But compared to Su Mo, her talent seemed top-notch!

Yet Su Mo was able to reach his current achievements despite his low talent. For the first time, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Su Mo with a hint of admiration.

She understood better than most the amount of effort Su Mo had put in.

"Su Mo..."

Ning Rongrong, who could also imagine the effort behind his success, felt a pang of heartache as she looked at him.

"Hmph, who would have thought that the master is actually this kind of person!"

"He rejected Su Mo just because he knew his talent wasn’t great!"

"I used to think he was really amazing!"

Ning Rongrong snorted lightly, criticizing Yu Xiaogang.

"The master does have skills; otherwise, he wouldn’t have taught Brother Xiao San to be such an outstanding disciple. But I also didn’t expect the master to reject Su Mo..."

"The master just admitted that he misjudged Su Mo earlier. Haha, he must regret not accepting Su Mo back then!"

"..."

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also spoke up one after another. No matter what, they were on Su Mo's side at this moment.

"The master... he’s alright, I guess. Brother Xiao San said the master took him in to validate some of his theories and knowledge. Only someone with Brother Xiao San's level of talent could better accept his guidance!"

Xiao Wu spoke up in defense of Yu Xiaogang.

Though she felt a bit awkward, she didn’t think the master was wrong to have rejected Su Mo back then. After all, Su Mo's talent really wasn’t great!

"Alright, everyone, let’s stop talking about this!"

"I didn’t take it to heart, so let’s not mention it again!"

Su Mo smiled, signaling for everyone to drop the matter.

Afterward, he headed back to his dormitory.

Once inside, Su Mo activated his shared vision. Sure enough, he saw the figures of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

As expected, Bibi Dong had gone to find Yu Xiaogang.

When he heard the sound of their conversation reaching his ears, Su Mo realized that he was sharing not just Bibi Dong's sight but also her hearing.

"...So, Su Mo sought you out as a teacher back then?"

Curious, Tang San had just asked about the relationship between Yu Xiaogang and Su Mo, learning that Su Mo had tried to become the master's disciple before he did, only to be rejected.

"Because his innate soul power was only at level 2!"

"To be honest, I did misjudge him back then. But that was also because I hadn’t studied constitution and talent deeply enough, which led to my misjudgment!"

"If he truly was only at level 2 innate soul power, he wouldn’t have been capable of carrying the weight of my wisdom. My many theories and research simply wouldn’t have manifested in him."
