Tang San calmly glanced at Ye Qiu's retreating figure.
He looked back at Yu Xiaogang.
"Since you're not a teacher here, how should I address you?"
"They all call me Grandmaster. I've long forgotten my original name."
Speaking of this, Yu Xiaogang paused, his eyes burning as he looked at Tang San.
The mask was off!
"If you truly want to call me teacher, it's not impossible."
Tang San looked back at Yu Xiaogang calmly, showing no reaction.
He wouldn't act until he saw the rabbit, playing dumb while fully aware.
He was quite skilled at it too.
Yu Xiaogang gave a stiff smile and nodded, stroking the stubble on his chin as he sized up Tang San.
He wouldn't stop talking until he said something shocking.
"Besides the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, what is your other martial soul?!"
"!!"
Tang San's pupils contracted violently, his heart pounding.
Beneath his clothes, the hidden weapon on his left wrist, the Silent Sleeve Dart, was disengaged again.
Friend or foe?!
A coldness slowly seeped into the depths of Tang San's eyes.
His killing intent had been aroused, but he still maintained a calm expression and probed:
"How did you know?"
Grandmaster Yu was still unaware that his name on the Book of Life and Death had begun to flicker.
He remained composed.
He gave Tang San a stiff smile, trying to appear friendly, gentle, and approachable.
He held up the martial soul certificate in his hand.
He began to boast, talking about how he had gone to the countryside, sweated profusely, and investigated hundreds of Blue Silver Grass martial soul users. He was dedicated to studying martial souls and had proposed the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls. No one understood soul master cultivation better than him!
He was the recognized number one theorist in the soul master world!
Yu Xiaogang gave a lengthy self-introduction, then cited scriptures and constantly spoke passionately, almost definitively stating his conclusion!
"Therefore, I can confirm that you definitely possess another extremely powerful martial soul. You are the third twin martial soul owner in history!"
Tang San's mind reeled, and the killing intent in his heart disintegrated.
To be able to deduce so much just from a martial soul certificate, the name of the number one theorist in the world was truly well-deserved!
But Tang San still had one last doubt in his heart.
He held out his right hand, where a small blue blade of grass swayed. Tang San looked up at Yu Xiaogang and asked, "Grandmaster, they all say my Blue Silver Grass is a Waste martial soul, but can a waste martial soul really cultivate?"
"Hehe..."
Yu Xiaogang shook his head and chuckled, his hands behind his back, his back straight, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
"You must always remember..."
"There are no waste martial souls, only waste soul masters!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang San smiled, and MacArthur also smiled.
This person was qualified to be his teacher!
Tang San re-engaged the safety on the Silent Sleeve Dart and took a large step back, increasing the distance between himself and Yu Xiaogang.
Immediately after, with a thud, he knelt on the ground.
Thump! Thump! Thump! He respectfully kowtowed three times to Yu Xiaogang.
Ye Qiu, returning from that direction, thought he faintly heard Tang San shout...
Dad—!
If you don't abandon me, I, San, am willing to be your adopted son!
Yu Xiaogang froze on the spot.
"What are you doing? Kneeling is a gesture of respect only for the king and parents."
"A teacher for a day is a father for life! Please accept Tang San's bow..."
Thump—!
Saying this, Tang San's strength did not decrease, and he kowtowed again with great force, his forehead turning red.
"Good, good!"
"What a 'teacher for a day is a father for life'!"
Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and quickly bent down to help up the good son he had just tricked into his fold.
"Xiao San, what is this?"
Ye Qiu slowly walked over, feigning surprise as he looked at Tang San.
"Ye Qiu?"
Tang San looked back at Ye Qiu, his gaze flickering slightly. He didn't explain but asked:
"When did you get back?"
"Ah?!"
Ye Qiu was stunned, a slight chill in his heart. He helplessly shook his still damp hands.
"Of course I just got back. I was wondering why you suddenly knelt down. You're not going to abandon Uncle Rat, are you?"
Tang San frowned, not wanting to bother with Ye Qiu's nonsense. He raised his hand to introduce:
"This is the teacher I just acknowledged."
"The teacher you just acknowledged?"
Ye Qiu looked at Yu Xiaogang, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
But a chill rose in his heart.
Ever since he had seen through the spider three months ago, he had gained two abilities.
One of them was an extraordinary sense of perception.
Although Tang San's killing intent was very faint.
It had nowhere to hide.
This little scoundrel was too cautious. He had already given him enough distance.
Heh...
He was being given face but didn't want it!
Was this what Tang Hao meant by taking care of him? Taking care of him with a Silent Sleeve Dart?
Yu Xiaogang met Ye Qiu's gaze.
Seeing those clear eyes, his thoughts couldn't help but become active again.
"Looking at the martial soul certificate, your name is Ye Qiu, right?"
"Yes."
Ye Qiu nodded.
Yu Xiaogang again showed a profound smile and said meaningfully, "Do you really think your martial soul is a waste martial soul?"
"Hmm?"
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, only giving a questioning look and not responding.
At this moment, Tang San seemed to wake up from a dream.
He had a twin martial soul and the Mysterious Heaven Skill, so what about Ye Qiu? Why would he have innate full soul power?!
Regarding this,
Yu Xiaogang had already considered it.
According to his theory, he could deduce that Tang San had a twin martial soul because he could confirm that Tang San's martial soul had not mutated and was indeed the most ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
However, Ye Qiu's martial soul was something he had never seen before.
Although it looked like a waste martial soul, he didn't think he was so lucky as to encounter two twin martial soul geniuses at the same time. Excluding all low-probability events, then... there was only one truth!
Yu Xiaogang was full of confidence and asserted:
"Ye Qiu, I have never seen your martial soul... But I can assert that it is a mutated martial soul. Otherwise, with your commoner status, you would absolutely not be able to awaken innate full soul power!"
"Mutated martial soul?!"
Ye Qiu's eyes widened, feigning surprise, but he was rolling his eyes internally.
Tang San was also enlightened.
So Ye Qiu's martial soul belonged to the mutated martial soul category.
Teacher truly lived up to the name of the number one theorist!
Yu Xiaogang was very satisfied with their expressions.
In the entire soul master world, few people could listen to him speak so eloquently and show such expressions. Those people all thought he was a liar, but the more this was the case, the more he wanted to teach powerful students to prove himself!
"Ye Qiu, in terms of martial soul research, especially the research of mutated martial souls, I am the most proficient. You are new here and have only a superficial understanding of martial souls. If you have a good teacher and friend on your cultivation path, it will be beneficial without any harm. I wonder... are you willing to become my disciple?"
Yu Xiaogang put on the air of a master, calmly looking at the surprised Ye Qiu, waiting for his answer.
Although Ye Qiu's talent was not as good as Tang San's.
He was also a genius with innate full soul power. He could be used for trial and error and to accumulate experience for his teaching, allowing the more talented Tang San to take fewer detours and helping him cultivate even better disciples!
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang's elaborate speech was nothing more than wanting to take in another capable adopted son.
Tang San also looked at Ye Qiu.
Although he didn't quite understand what Tang Hao meant by taking care of Ye Qiu, if they became fellow disciples, it seemed to become a matter of course.
"I'll pass. Xiao San has already become your disciple first. I'm not willing to be the junior, unless Xiao San is willing to step back to the position of junior disciple."
Ye Qiu shook his head helplessly.
A good teacher and friend? You're just flattering yourselves, master and disciple.
Tang San's brows furrowed.
He was already unhappy that Ye Qiu, who was younger than him, called him Xiao San. At this time, of course, he was not willing to step back to the position of junior disciple for him.
Yu Xiaogang frowned.
It was a bit of a pity that he had spent so much effort but didn't get an adopted son, but as a grandmaster's pride, it prevented him from insisting further.
He was giving Ye Qiu an opportunity, not begging Ye Qiu.
"Alright, in the soul master world, a person can only acknowledge one master in their lifetime. This is something you should indeed consider carefully!"
These words had a double meaning.
They seemed to be spoken to Ye Qiu, but they were actually telling Tang San.
Even if I am only a Great Soul Master, you are already the adopted son who has kowtowed to me!
You brat can't get rid of me!
"Alright, come with me. I'll take you to report."
Yu Xiaogang tidied up his mood and no longer dwelled on these matters. He was already very satisfied with getting Tang San, who had a twin martial soul.
Ye Qiu and Tang San followed Yu Xiaogang to the reporting area, received their school uniforms, and then parted ways with Yu Xiaogang, walking together to their dormitory.
That was where everything began... Dormitory Seven!
