Encounter Entry: Tang San pushed aside the Gatekeeper's left hand and struck the Gatekeeper's right hand. The host may modify the entry, thereby affecting the original outcome of Tang San's iconic plot scene. Successfully affecting it will earn a reward: 500 points of System Essence.
Ye Xian thought for a moment, then issued a modification command in his mind.
Change "strike" to "kiss."
By then, the three of them had arrived at the entrance to Notting Academy.
Sure enough, the Gatekeeper blocked their way.
Old Jack was explaining with a beaming smile.
He meant that the two children were this year's Work-Study Students from the village.
It would have been one thing if the Gatekeeper had not heard it, but upon hearing that, he nearly laughed himself breathless.
Work-Study Students?
Two of them?
Were they pulling his leg?
"How many years has it been since the academy had a Work-Study Student? What backwater could produce two at once?"
"Get lost, get lost!"
The Gatekeeper impatiently waved his hand.
He had seen plenty of people like them. Without exception, they were all Villagers.
Seeing this, Tang San quietly clenched his fists.
Though the movement was subtle, Ye Xian still noticed it.
Tang San did not act rashly. Clearly, he was waiting for an opportunity.
During that interval, Old Jack suppressed his fury and showed the Gatekeeper the certificate from Spirit Hall.
"Two with Innate Full Soul Power? Do you take me for an idiot?"
To his surprise, the Gatekeeper merely glared and remained unmoved.
His eyes only wandered about, lingering around Old Jack's waist.
Clearly, he wanted a little something for himself.
Old Jack gritted his teeth in hatred. He had not expected a mere academy Gatekeeper to be such a petty scoundrel who made trouble for people at will.
"Let's go! We'll find a Battle Soul Master from Spirit Hall!"
Just as he turned to leave, another remark suddenly came from behind him.
"What Holy Soul Village? It's more like Beggar Village."
"What did you say?"
Old Jack turned around furiously. The Gatekeeper's words had crossed his bottom line.
Seeing this, the Gatekeeper became even more irritated, revealing a mocking smile.
"This Old Man said you came from Beggar Village. So what?"
"Poor trash!"
After saying that, the Gatekeeper reached out to shove them away.
Seeing this, Tang San stamped his foot and instantly rushed forward, placing himself between them.
With a light push, he knocked the Gatekeeper's left hand aside.
"Xiao San, you..."
Jack stared wide-eyed at Tang San, who stood in front of him.
He clearly had not realized that the truly shocking part was yet to come.
At that moment, Tang San quickly stepped forward with his right foot, placing it directly behind the Gatekeeper's left foot.
At the same time, he raised his right hand and, together with his left, clamped the Gatekeeper's right hand and pulled it downward.
He should have struck the man's lower abdomen, tripped him, and thrown him to the ground in one smooth motion.
However, Tang San forcibly pulled the Gatekeeper's right hand to his mouth and directly kissed it.
Smack.
Ding! Encounter modification successful! Congratulations, Host! Reward obtained: System Essence ×500!
The Gatekeeper rapidly withdrew his hand, his face filled with shock.
Feeling the lingering saliva on the back of his hand, he shuddered all over.
That was fucking disgusting!
Old Jack was already dumbfounded.
How could Xiao San do something like that?!
Although Ye Xian looked calm, he was nearly dying of laughter inside.
Tang San was also stunned. He wanted to explain that he had meant to strike the man just now.
But the moment he took half a step forward, the Gatekeeper took two steps back. Clearly, Tang San had scared him senseless.
Fuck, he had run into a pervert at the entrance today.
At such a young age, and he was already this messed up.
"Enough, stop it!"
Just then, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded from behind them.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the disgust on the Gatekeeper's face instantly turned into fawning flattery. He bowed and scraped before the man.
"Great Master, you're back."
Ye Xian and Tang San turned to look.
A medium-built, somewhat thin man in black had somehow appeared beside them.
The man looked ordinary, with a stiff expression. His entire body exuded an air of laziness, decadence, and decay.
He obviously had no particular bearing, yet he pretentiously clasped his hands behind his back.
Even the way he looked at others was from a lofty, condescending angle.
Since Ye Xian knew the story, he naturally recognized him as the famed Great Master, Yu Xiaogang.
So Yu Xiaogang looked like this?
Though Ye Xian despised Yu Xiaogang deeply in his heart, his expression remained perfectly normal.
Tang San, on the other hand, was different.
The moment Yu Xiaogang appeared, Tang San's attention was drawn to him.
This man carried himself with extraordinary bearing. There was an indescribable aura and charm about him.
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze toward Old Jack.
"Could you let me see the certificate from Spirit Hall?"
Old Jack nodded and hurriedly handed over the certificate in his hand.
Yu Xiaogang examined the certificate, then shifted his gaze to Ye Xian and Tang San.
The next second, his eyes lit up.
A Blue Silver Flower with Innate Full Soul Power?
Mutated Blue Silver Grass?
For such a trash Martial Soul to possess Innate Full Soul Power, there was a high chance that he had a second Martial Soul.
This was an excellent specimen for testing his invincible theories!
The other child's Martial Soul was also quite good, and it was not a trash Martial Soul.
He likewise had great potential for experimental development.
Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang nodded to Old Jack.
"The certificate is genuine. Leave these two children to me."
After giving Ye Xian and Tang San a few simple instructions, Old Jack left.
Yu Xiaogang lowered his head to look at Ye Xian and Tang San, forcing out a faint smile.
His facial muscles were somewhat stiff, making his smile particularly ugly.
"Let's go inside."
Ye Xian nodded without saying anything.
Instead, he deliberately kept some distance from Yu Xiaogang.
He truly found this guy repulsive.
Tang San, however, was different. After only a few steps, he moved closer to Yu Xiaogang.
The Gatekeeper looked back at Tang San pressed close beside Yu Xiaogang and felt another wave of nausea.
Sure enough, he had known all along that this Great Master was not normal.
No wonder he was interested in students like that.
At that moment, Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang and put on an act.
"Teacher, thank you!"
Yu Xiaogang was clearly surprised to hear that.
But such a polite child made Tang San feel especially endearing to him.
Ye Xian, on the other hand, did not give him that feeling.
Yu Xiaogang smiled and gently shook his head, a flash of arrogant pride passing over his face.
"Teacher? I am not a teacher at this academy."
"Tang San, you must understand that Great Master and teacher are worlds apart."
"Everyone calls me Great Master!"
"Unless... you truly wish for me to become your teacher."
A glimmer of delight flashed through Tang San's eyes.
"Will you teach me how to cultivate my Martial Soul?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded.
"Then are you willing?"
Tang San's iconic scene of taking Yu Xiaogang as his master detected! Chosen Encounter triggered! Encounter Entry: Tang San kowtowed three times to Yu Xiaogang. "Great Master, please accept me as your disciple!" The host may modify the entry, thereby affecting the original outcome of Tang San awakening his Martial Soul. Successfully affecting it will earn a reward: 1,000 points of System Essence!
Following a short distance behind them, Ye Xian slowly issued a command to the system in his heart.
Change "disciple" to "son."
