Enrollment, Sabotaging Tang San's Apprenticeship

Enrollment, Sabotaging Tang San's Apprenticeship

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Old Jack took Lu Mingchuan and Tang San to Nuoding City to enroll in school.

Along the way, Tang San stroked his Sleeve Arrow beneath his sleeve as he stared at Lu Mingchuan's back, his gaze darkening.

My cultivation technique must never be exposed. Now that I've forged the Sleeve Arrow, I can see whether I can use it to deal with him.

As a former disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang San was confident that as long as he found an opportunity, he could use the Sleeve Arrow to kill Lu Mingchuan. But this was clearly not a good opportunity.

Setting Old Jack aside, Tang San could not see through the saber-carrying woman beside Lu Mingchuan at all.

He touched the Sleeve Arrow beneath his sleeve again, then temporarily set aside his thoughts and decided to look for another opportunity after arriving at Nuoding Academy.

The moment Tang San revealed a faint killing intent, Huang Quan transmitted her voice to Lu Mingchuan.

"Ah Chuan, that Tang San behind us has revealed killing intent toward you."

"It doesn't matter. He can't do anything to me, and he still has great use for me."

Hearing this, Huang Quan paid him no more attention. Still, she secretly decided that if Tang San made a move, she would turn him into Tang|San.

Seeing that Huang Quan had stopped moving, Lu Mingchuan began chatting with Old Jack to pass the time.

Nuoding City.

After entering the city, Tang San began looking around curiously. In his previous life, he had been a technical shut-in whose mind had been entirely occupied with Hidden Weapons, and he had never left the sect. In this life, he had grown up in Holy Soul Village and had never entered a city.

He was a genuine country bumpkin.

After arriving in Nuoding City, Lu Mingchuan found a place for Old Jack to rest. He then handed all the Gold Soul Coins on him to Old Jack and helped him rent a carriage so that he could return first.

Knowing that Huang Quan was with Lu Mingchuan, Old Jack was at ease. As for Tang San, he had already sent him plenty of grain over the years.

Moreover, unlike the original story, he now had a grandson, so he did not pay much attention to Tang San. After giving Lu Mingchuan a few reminders, he boarded the carriage home.

After watching Old Jack leave, Lu Mingchuan took Huang Quan's hand.

"Grandpa Jack has left. Let's go report to Nuoding Academy too."

Huang Quan nodded.

Then Lu Mingchuan led Huang Quan away without even sparing Tang San a glance. Tang San watched Lu Mingchuan's back, clenched his fists hard, then loosened them again.

"Hmph, I'll let you be smug for a few more days."

He then followed behind Lu Mingchuan and Huang Quan.

At the entrance to Nuoding Academy.

After the Gate Guard examined Lu Mingchuan's Spirit Soul Certificate, he glanced at Huang Quan beside him. He returned the certificate to Lu Mingchuan, then opened the school gate for him with a smile.

Lu Mingchuan glanced at Tang San, casually gave the Gate Guard a few soul coins, and entered with Huang Quan. Tang San also tried to enter, but the Gate Guard stopped him.

"Who are you? Unrelated people are forbidden from entering the academy!"

Tang San glanced toward Lu Mingchuan, only to see him smiling cheerfully at him. Tang San added another grievance against Lu Mingchuan in his heart.

You refused to help me enter the academy. You have brought death upon yourself.

"I'm from Holy Soul Village. Here, this is my Spirit Soul Certificate."

He then took out his Spirit Soul Certificate.

The Gate Guard took it and glanced at it disdainfully. "Hmph, Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power? If you're going to forge something, at least make it believable."

He tossed the certificate onto the ground and made a gesture to drive Tang San away, unaware that he had already triggered Tang San's path to death.

"Hmph, you look down on others with your dog's eyes. You have brought death upon yourself."

Tang San directly struck the Gate Guard with his elbow, then slightly raised his hand and aimed at him, preparing to carry out his path to death. However, a voice from behind interrupted him.

"Enough. Stop."

The two of them turned toward the source of the voice. A Crew Cut was standing behind Tang San, and he was the one who had spoken.

Lu Mingchuan had noticed this Crew Cut long ago.

So this was Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. He looked so sleazy. I really don't know what Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong saw in him in the original story. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't like him even if they were blind.

Watching Grandmaster lead Tang San into the academy, Lu Mingchuan could not help thinking this. He then followed Yu Xiaogang.

At an open area, Lu Mingchuan watched Yu Xiaogang sweet-talk Tang San. He chuckled inwardly and walked over with Huang Quan.

Yu Xiaogang was holding Tang San's Spirit Soul Certificate and talking eloquently.

"Your name is Tang San. Your Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and you have Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls, correct?"

Tang San immediately became wary upon hearing this. He said nothing, but secretly aimed at the Crew Cut before him, while the Crew Cut continued babbling.

"Are you wondering how I knew you have Twin Martial Souls?"

Seeing that Tang San did not respond, he looked at the Spirit Soul Certificate in his hand. He smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry. I could tell from this Spirit Soul Certificate in my hand."

Hearing this, Tang San lowered his guard slightly.

Yu Xiaogang then began spouting a lengthy series of theories about investigations and the like, successfully confusing Tang San completely. But just as Tang San was about to take him as his master, Lu Mingchuan, who had walked up beside Yu Xiaogang, spoke.

"Grandmaster, I also have Innate Full Soul Power. Could you explain your Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul to me?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang, who had already been happy, became even happier. He had no mind to care about Lu Mingchuan's slip of the tongue and prepared to use his profound theories to win Lu Mingchuan over and make him take him as his master as well.

Yu Xiaogang then began introducing his theories. After finishing, he asked Lu Mingchuan what he did not understand.

"Why is it that people with the same Martial Soul can awaken Innate Full Soul Power, while others awaken at different levels? Doesn't that contradict the first point of your theory, Grandmaster?"

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang began sweating profusely. He had merely compiled the qualifications of his predecessors before eagerly publishing his theories. Over the years, he had been searching for geniuses to prove himself.

So he had no idea of the reason behind it. He wanted to make up some nonsense after hearing Lu Mingchuan's question, but when he saw Huang Quan beside him, he gave up on that thought.

Tang San, standing to the side, glanced at Yu Xiaogang suspiciously.

Lu Mingchuan then asked several more questions, all regarding the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul. Yet Grandmaster still stammered and could not provide an answer.

In the end, Lu Mingchuan shook his head and sighed softly. "What kind of Grandmaster is this? You can't answer even a few casual questions. Looks like you're another fraud."

He then turned and left with Huang Quan. Watching their backs, Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized that Lu Mingchuan had never come to ask questions at all—he had come to pick a fight.

After figuring it out, Yu Xiaogang wanted to curse at him a few times. But remembering that Tang San was still there, he worried whether Lu Mingchuan's words had affected him, so he turned toward Tang San.

However, Tang San no longer had any intention of taking him as his master. He casually thanked him a couple of times before turning and leaving.

Yu Xiaogang watched Tang San's back and cursed viciously on the spot a few times before continuing after Tang San to pester him.

Meanwhile, Lu Mingchuan was beaming as he listened to the system notification in his ear.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for sabotaging Tang San's apprenticeship. You have received 3,000 Points."
