Along the way, Lanta has been paying attention to Gu You. She yearns for and admires Gu You's powerful figure. During the time she stayed at Sisi's house, she asked many people about Gu You.
In Sisi's eyes, Gu You is a smart person. He likes reading all kinds of books since he was a child. He can find all kinds of details from them and turn them into the power of his growth.
In Su Yuntao's eyes, Gu You is a curious person. He is always curious about all kinds of commonplace things and wants to explore the mysteries inside.
In Mashunuo's eyes, Gu You is a hardworking person. He has been able to persist in reading all kinds of boring books since he was a child. From the first day he appeared in the Spirit Hall until today, Gu You is still reading and studying non-stop.
In the eyes of the guards, Gu You is a person who has kept his original intention. He treated them the same way as when he was a child, and he treated them the same way after becoming a soul master. He did not change his attitude towards ordinary people because of his change of identity.
Bit by bit, Lanta pieced together an image of Gu You from the perspective of an outsider. Almost all the good qualities could be found in Gu You, which made Lanta admire Gu You even more.
During this time before school started, Lanta followed Gu You's example and patiently read the books of the Spirit Hall. When she arrived at the seventh dormitory and saw the figure she had been thinking about day and night, she couldn't help but want to get close to Gu You.
After hearing Tang San explain the meaning of family, for Lanta, there was only one meaning, that is, even if they had different surnames and no blood relationship, she could still become Gu You's family member, and this way she could be closer to Gu You.
"Uh..." Gu You came back to his senses, put Lanta on the bed, sat on the bed, looked into Lanta's beautiful eyes, and asked seriously: "Lanta, why do you want to be my sister?"
Lanta told Gu You what he had done during this period, and also expressed his thoughts and yearning for Gu You.
Gu You understood. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Lanta, I'm sorry I can't treat you as my sister."
"The feelings in your heart are not the feelings between family members, but longing and yearning."
Gu You deeply understood that he absolutely could not agree to let Ranta become his sister now. This would not help her, but harm her. Just like Ikaros flying towards the sun.
Gu You doesn't want Lanta to become the second him, he only wants Lanta to be the one and only Lanta.
But looking at this girl with a tragic life story, Gu You couldn't say anything harsh. His own figure was reflected in those emerald eyes, and Ranta was like seeing the sun for the first time, and couldn't bear to look away.
"Ranta, will you be my apprentice?"
Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Gu You slowly opened his mouth and uttered these shocking words.
-----------------
ps: Yearning and longing are normal emotions. But no matter what, we will eventually become unique ourselves.
The original character appears, and plays a huge role in promoting the plot. I am quite satisfied with this character, and I also like the prototype of the character. I believe that some book friends already know the prototype of the character and even the spirit. Please recommend and monthly vote~
Chapter 101 The Way of Being a Teacher
"disciple?"
"Yes, disciple."
Gu You explained: "Unlike teacher and student, the relationship between master and apprentice is much closer."
"I will teach you all the knowledge I can and train you to be an outstanding soul master who can stand on his own."
Although it is different from what Lanta hopes, but if he can become Gu You's disciple, it seems to be a way to get closer to Gu You.
Thinking of this, Ranta nodded, "Well, I want to be Big Brother's disciple."
Gu You rubbed Ranta's head, nodded with a smile on his face, but sighed in his heart.
"I haven't even reached my own limit, and now I have to start teaching students. Who can I complain to?"
That was true, but Gu You would not allow himself to be ruthlessly rejected by someone who he regarded as a role model. Although it would add a lot of trouble to himself, he still accepted it.
Lanta jumped up excitedly when he saw Gu You agreed. Seeing this, the brother sleeping on Gu You's left quietly packed up his things and found an empty bed far away and moved over.
When Ranta saw this, he hurriedly placed his bedding on the empty bed, and while Gu You was still not able to react, he laid out his things.
Seeing that the matter was done, Gu You didn't say much. He turned around and continued to analyze the problems that occurred in today's battle with Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, you need to use your speed advantage flexibly. Why did you rush towards Xiao San today?"
"I don't want to, but yesterday Third Brother used a hidden weapon to paralyze me so much that I couldn't move. I thought that since I would be poisoned sooner or later, I might as well take advantage of the paralysis effect before it affects my movements and attack and suppress him in advance."
"But you are useless. You will lose faster if you get close to me."
"I, I, who knew that Third Brother's hidden weapons could spin? I avoided the first round of attacks from close range, but those hidden weapons actually attacked me from behind."
"Would you like to try long-range suppression? You should be able to attack by kicking rocks continuously, right?"
"No, the hit rate is too low. If it were you, it would be fine, but Third Brother's body movements are too powerful, and I can't hit him at all."
"Xiao You, why don't you try the stone attack you mentioned? With your strength, throwing a few boulders can also be a good supplement for long-range attack methods."
"Hmm, that makes sense. We can give it a try tomorrow. We need to test the hit rate of the fixed target first."
As they were talking, Gu You and the other two were unable to speak. It was not because the discussion was over, but because the pressure from Ranta standing behind Gu You was too strong.
Lanta just stood quietly behind Gu You, not saying a word, just staring at Tang San and Xiao Wu. Whenever the two of them said that Gu You should change something, his eyes would become more "ferocious".
Of course, Tang San and Xiao Wu were not frightened by this "ferocious" look, but Ranta looked too much like a wild cat, which fascinated them both.
Only Gu You felt really uncomfortable with someone behind him. He turned around and looked at Lanta, with some embarrassment in his tone: "Lanta, I feel very uncomfortable with you standing behind me like this."
Hearing Gu You's question, Lanta looked at Gu You, his eyes softened, and he said calmly: "Master, I am your disciple. I heard from the adults in the village that disciples should stand behind the teacher and cannot interrupt when the teacher is talking."
Hearing this, Gu You wanted to complain a lot, but he couldn't because this was indeed a requirement between the master and the disciple, and if the disciple didn't do this, it would be considered disrespectful to the master.
"Ah, it's over." Gu You let out another long sigh.
His original intention was to allow Lanta, the only new part-time student this year, to integrate into Dormitory 7. As one of the few girls in Dormitory 7 and not as combative as Xiaowu, he was worried that other boys would inadvertently bully her.
Plus, I think it’s cool to have a little fan girl, but forget about becoming a “private fan” or something like that. So I played this “mentor-apprentice game” with her to see if I could break her “idol filter”.
In the end, she didn't expect that she took the master-disciple relationship seriously because of her serious personality. Gu You believed that they were so-called master and disciple, but in reality they were just friendly discussions. Lanta believed that the master was supreme and the disciple should respect the master.
But Gu You couldn't say anything. After all, he was the one who proposed this "master-disciple relationship". Douluo Continent was different from the previous world, and it was not the kind of "master" that a card player called out when teaching people to play cards.
Since Lanta has done this, Gu You must also fulfill his responsibility as a "master". He patted his side and said, "Lanta, come and sit over here."
After Lanta sat next to Gu You, Gu You introduced him seriously this time.
"Tang San, my brother. He has full innate soul power, and his martial soul is blue silver grass."
"Xiao Wu, Tang San and I's foster sister. She has innate full spirit power, and her martial spirit is the Soft Bone Rabbit."
"Lanta is now my disciple. His innate soul power is at the fourth level, and his martial soul is called the Sky Bow."
Lanta's expression did not change at all because the two people in front of her were born with full spirit power or their spirits were useless spirits such as Blue Silver Grass. She bowed slightly to Tang San and Xiao Wu, "My name is Lanta, please give me your guidance."
"My name is Tang San (Xiao Wu), please give me your guidance."
"Ranta," Guyou said to her in a serious voice, "from today on you are my disciple. I will teach you all my knowledge."
"Yes, Master." Ranta replied quietly but firmly.
The word "Master" immediately broke Gu You's defense. He smiled bitterly and said to Lanta, "Lanta, you see, I'm only 7 years old now. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to call me Master? You should continue to call me Big Brother."
"Yes, Master...Brother."
Midnight,
After Tang San finished his soul training and was about to rest, he suddenly found that Gu You's bed was empty. So he walked to the yard outside the door and once again saw Gu You looking up at the starry sky.
"Xiao You, it's very late now, aren't you going to bed yet?"
Hearing Tang San's voice behind him, Gu You said: "Xiao San, do you think I can do my duty as a teacher?"
There was a hint of confusion in Gu You's voice. After he finished his training and came to his senses, he felt that with just his little cleverness, was he really qualified to teach students?
This is not like writing an article and publishing it in a newspaper. For Gu You, publishing an article in a newspaper is no different from typing on a keyboard to analyze the world situation. Anyway, not many people will know about it, so even if it is wrong, it doesn't matter.
The suggestions for Tang San's development direction are, on the one hand, that the nine spirit rings and spirit skills are very similar to the moves of Pokémon, and the additional effects are like the effort value. Although they are only somewhat similar, they are indeed reliable.
On the other hand, it feels like the original Tang San is indeed very strong in the future, but he is not on the path he should have taken. The blue silver grass, the Clear Sky Hammer, and the hidden weapon seem to have disappeared in the future, and what he always holds in his hands are the trident and the magic sword.
But Lanta is different. Unlike Tang San and Xiao Wu, she does not have a predetermined fate. Her future is completely unknown to Gu You. However, she is willing to hand over her future to Gu You.
In this chapter, some of the protagonist's thoughts and anxieties are also my own experiences, I hope you won't laugh at me (crouching and defending with your head in your hands). Why do everyone think it's a small horned dragon? Although I like bombing, it's not a good idea to bomb people just for the sake of the protagonist's effect. Please recommend and monthly vote~
Chapter 102 Brothers and Apprentices
"What are you afraid of?"
Tang San slapped Gu You on the back, "You are a genius. At least in Notting City, no one is better than you."
"Soul skill selection, soul power property analysis, and self-created soul skill development are all the results of your hard work."
"The new classification of soul masters, the changes in soul master team tactics, and the unpublished soul skill selection suggestions are all the works that can only be completed with your daily accumulation since you were not awakened."
Tang San's words were completely sincere, even though Gu You said his Blue Silver Grass was not ordinary, and he also believed so. But before he got the spirit ring, the Blue Silver Grass's shockingly low rating made Tang San a little uneasy.
But only Gu You always believed that his Blue Silver Grass was different from others. In the end, it was just as Gu You thought. The Blue Silver Grass that specialized in vitality turned into an all-around martial spirit that could assist in treatment and even be controlled.
Moreover, Tang San even decided that if it was Gu You who awakened the Blue Silver Grass, his achievement might be far superior to his own.
When Gu You told him that the auxiliary Blue Silver Grass could also do what the control system could do, Tang San thought Gu You was dreaming. In addition to controlling the position of teammates like a rope, Tang San could only think of using poison or "a leaf to block his eyes".
But Gu You was different. Whether it was the green grass field's concealed terrain and ability to hide figures, the grass knots that restricted movement, or the grass whip's enhanced attacks, they all made Tang San think, "So this is how Blue Silver Grass can be used."
In addition, Gu You was able to calm down and read books seriously at a young age, and was unanimously recognized by the villagers and the people in the Spirit Hall as a "genius".
Tang San didn't understand what Gu You was afraid of. It couldn't be that he was afraid of delaying other people's future.
Although he didn't understand, this did not affect Tang San from alleviating Gu You's anxiety in his own way.
Tang San raised his right hand, and after a moment, a ball of irregularly rotating soul power formed in Tang San's palm. A second later, the soul power dissipated, and Tang San's face was exhausted.
"You mentioned the Rasengan." Tang San, who looked tired but energetic, said to Gu You, while Gu You looked surprised.
Gu You, Tang San and Xiao Wu have all talked about this universal self-created spirit skill of pure form change, but except for that battle, no one has been able to release it.
Even Gu You, who succeeded that time, could not perform this move again. This made Gu You wonder if this move did not meet the requirements of this world, and that he was successful only because of luck last time.
Only Tang San, who believed that Gu You would not make mistakes, after continuous attempts, relied on the characteristic that his own spirit power was far "softer" than Gu You's spirit power, and successfully reproduced this move, even if only for a second.
"Believe in yourself, you are the best teacher. To be honest, Xiao Wu and I are also your students."
After saying that, Tang San turned around and prepared to go back to Dormitory 7 to rest.
"Um, Xiao San, I think..." Gu You wanted to call Tang San, but didn't know how to start.
Tang San stopped and said without even turning his head, "It's okay, I agree."
"?!"
Tang San chuckled and said, "Xiao You, she is your disciple, which means she is my nephew. Xuan Tian Gong... can be considered as a gift for meeting you."
Tang San turned around and punched Gu You lightly in the chest.
