"Blue Silver Grass, innate full soul power? This must be fake, right?"
Blue Silver Grass was a widely recognized trash spirit. It had no offensive power, no defensive power, no support ability, and it was even difficult to possess soul power, let alone innate full soul power.
But the proof from the Spirit Hall didn't look fake. Forging a Spirit Hall certificate was a capital crime, a sure way to seek death. No one should be foolish enough to forge one.
However, even though the innate full soul power with Blue Silver Grass seemed unlikely, the guard still returned the proof to Old Jack and let Tang San in.
After all, looking at Tang San's patched clothes, he didn't seem wealthy. Even if they wanted something, they wouldn't get many copper soul coins.
Furthermore, if Tang San really had innate full soul power, then he would only need to attach a soul ring to become a Soul Master. And once he became a Soul Master, even with Blue Silver Grass, he wouldn't be someone they could afford to offend. It wasn't worth offending him for a few copper soul coins.
And if the Spirit Hall certificate was forged, then the other party would definitely be kicked out, and it wouldn't be too late to do something then.
After the incident with Mo Hui, the young guard had matured a lot.
Tang San, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, seeing the guard's expression, he thought they were going to be difficult, but it turned out to be just a routine check. As expected of Nuoding Academy, even a guard had such high standards.
Entering Nuoding Academy, Tang San was about to find someone to ask for directions when a somewhat hoarse voice called out to him.
"Little friend, wait!"
Tang San turned his head and found a middle-aged man of average height and ordinary appearance, slightly thin, who had appeared behind them at some point.
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his somewhat weary eyes opening and closing, making him appear somewhat decadent and lazy.
But in Tang San's eyes, Yu Xiaogang at this moment exuded a special aura that made him feel a lot more favorable towards him.
And for some reason, as Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang's confident gaze fixed on him, he felt as if everything about him had been seen through by the person in front of him.
"Teacher, is there something you need?" Tang San asked, somewhat puzzled, when he heard the person in front of him call out to him.
"Teacher? Hehe, I'm not a teacher. You can call me Grandmaster. Everyone else calls me that."
Yu Xiaogang flattered himself.
"Oh, then Grandmaster, is there something you need?"
Tang San continued to ask.
Yu Xiaogang didn't answer Tang San's question directly, but instead asked, "I just heard the guard say that your spirit is Blue Silver Grass, and you have innate full soul power?"
"Yes, that's right."
Tang San had no intention of hiding it. His spirit was awakened by the Spirit Hall, and his spirit information could be easily found with a simple check.
His true secret was the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand, his identity as a twin spirit user.
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang smiled confidently, leaned down to Tang San's ear, and lowered his voice, "You should have a second spirit, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang San's pupils constricted sharply, and his left wrist quietly lifted.
However, Tang San didn't immediately fire the hidden weapon in his wrist. Firstly, the location wasn't suitable for killing, and secondly, he was waiting for Yu Xiaogang's next words.
Completely unaware that he had just walked past the gates of hell, Yu Xiaogang, seeing Tang San's expression, thought the other party had been intimidated by his words and immediately pressed on, starting to fool Tang San.
After all, a genius with innate full soul power was hard to find, let alone a child who might be a rare twin spirit user.
If he missed this child, his theories might never be recognized by the public in his lifetime.
...
At the same time, Mo Hui, who had finished reading another book, walked out of the library, preparing to go to the small mountain peak to cultivate.
Although a Soul Master's level would not increase after reaching level 10 without obtaining a soul ring, it didn't mean that the cultivated soul power would disappear. It would surge out when absorbing a soul ring, so continuing to cultivate was not useless.
However, as Mo Hui approached the main gate, he saw a child wearing patched clothes suddenly kneel down towards Yu Xiaogang with a 'thump'. This sudden scene naturally attracted Mo Hui's attention.
"Could this child be Tang San?"
Looking at this scene, Mo Hui thought to himself.
It was currently the time for new students to report, and with Yu Xiaogang's arrogant personality, it was absolutely impossible for him to pay attention to an ordinary child.
Thus, the identity of this child was obvious. He was the protagonist of the Douluo Dalu novel, Tang San!
Thinking of this, Mo Hui couldn't help but rub his chin. He vaguely remembered that when Tang San first arrived at the school, he was fooled by Yu Xiaogang, which led to Tang San kneeling down and acknowledging him as his teacher.
It seemed that the plot hadn't changed much. His butterfly effect was ultimately not strong enough.
Tang San respectfully kowtowed three times to Yu Xiaogang and then said, "Teacher, please accept me as your disciple!"
After being thoroughly fooled by Yu Xiaogang, Tang San had been completely conquered.
At this moment, in Tang San's heart, Yu Xiaogang was like an omniscient sage. If he could cultivate with Yu Xiaogang, his future would be limitless.
Seeing Tang San suddenly kneel down and acknowledge him as his teacher, Yu Xiaogang was momentarily stunned, but after reacting, he was immediately filled with joy.
Yu Xiaogang smiled with satisfaction, bent down, and pulled Tang San up, saying, "Silly boy, why are you kowtowing when acknowledging a teacher? Don't you know this is a etiquette only for kings and parents? A bow is enough."
However, twenty-nine years of education in his previous life had already been deeply ingrained in Tang San's heart.
Instead of agreeing, Tang San said solemnly, "A teacher for a day is a father for life. You deserve my kowtow."
"A teacher for a day is a father for life. Good, good. It seems I didn't choose wrongly after all."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was somewhat moved. Such a child who valued relationships and loyalty was rare. It seemed that the other party would definitely be able to help him prove to the world that his theories were correct.
Just then, Mo Hui, who was passing by, glanced at them briefly and then headed towards the mountain peak where he cultivated.
If it were the protagonist of another novel, they might have mocked Yu Xiaogang a few times at this point, but Mo Hui wouldn't do such a meaningless thing.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was like a god in Tang San's heart. If he dared to say a single bad word about Yu Xiaogang, he would probably be courting death.
Mo Hui didn't want to offend Tang San for no reason. The other party had the protagonist's luck, which was very troublesome.
Because of his experiences in the Tang Sect in his previous life, Tang San was severely lacking in love. A little bit of warmth was enough to make him completely devoted.
Tang Hao treated him so poorly. For an ordinary child, it might even be a question of whether they could survive, but Tang San had no complaints whatsoever and even took the initiative to take care of Tang Hao's food and daily life, simply because Tang Hao was his father.
"Teacher, who is he...?"
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang's expression wasn't very good, Tang San couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph! Don't mind him. He's just an insignificant person. In the future, you won't be on the same level as him."
Yu Xiaogang said with a cold snort.
Originally, Yu Xiaogang looked down on Mo Hui, but after Mo Hui displayed his talent, Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt that Mo Hui wasn't so bad after all.
So Yu Xiaogang went to find Mo Hui, wanting to take him as his disciple, but of course, as expected, Mo Hui refused.
This incident made Yu Xiaogang feel very embarrassed. He, the world's foremost master of spirit theory, was willing to take a mere innate level three soul power as a disciple, which was his honor. How dare he refuse?
But as Mo Hui's displayed talent became stronger and stronger, Yu Xiaogang's thoughts stirred again. After all, he had a detached beast spirit like himself. What if, and he meant *what if*, he succeeded?
But this thought completely vanished after he accepted Tang San as his disciple. With a twin spirit user with innate full soul power, who needed Mo Hui, this trash with innate level three soul power?
"Oh."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang say this, Tang San nodded thoughtfully.
