Master, I really need to pee, so I'm leaving!

Yun Feng nodded at Ma Xiunuo's reminder. Although Yu Xiaogang's reputation was a complete mess, he did possess knowledge.

That much could not be denied.

Though most of his theories had been plagiarized, earning him the nickname Knowledge Tailor.

But knowledge was knowledge. That could not be denied. No matter where it came from, it was useful! Ma Xiunuo had only gotten one thing wrong: even if Yun Feng were willing to ask, Yu Xiaogang might not be willing to teach him! To Yu Xiaogang, the strongest proof of his Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul was certainly not someone like him.

And even if Yu Xiaogang wanted to teach him, Yun Feng would not dare learn from him! He had no desire to be treated as Tang San's test subject.

Or even a guinea pig.

Still, Yun Feng nodded at Ma Xiunuo's advice. Agreeing was one thing; whether he actually did it was another! He possessed cultivation methods far superior to Tang San's, as well as his own exclusive cheat. There was absolutely no need for him to follow the same path.

His own path was destined to be vast and boundless.

There was no need to seek another route.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang picked up the certificate that had fallen to the ground and looked at it. His pupils instantly contracted, as though he had seen something extraordinary.

When his gaze shifted back to Tang San, he looked him up and down several times, his eyes filled with delight.

"The certificate is indeed genuine. Old sir, on behalf of the academy, I apologize for what happened just now. Leave this child to me."

When Yun Feng saw how quickly Yu Xiaogang changed his attitude, he was utterly shocked!

Terrifying!

Before seeing the certificate, he had been arrogant. The moment he saw it, he could no longer restrain himself and revealed his true colors.

The difference before and after was simply too great.

At that moment, Old Jack and Tang San were both stunned upon hearing those words.

Yun Feng and Ma Xiunuo also walked over. The moment Old Jack saw Yun Feng, his expression changed.

"Xiao Feng, why are you here too?"

Yun Feng smiled, concealing part of the truth as he explained his situation.

After hearing Yun Feng's explanation, no one knew what to say.

What first awakening error? It was only during the second awakening that his Martial Soul and Soul Power had been detected.

And upon awakening, he had turned out to possess a top-tier Martial Soul among Beast Spirits. His Soul Power was Innate Rank Nine, and with the support of the Spirit Hall's Branch Hall Master, he was even able to attend school for free.

On the other side, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up the instant he heard this explanation.

Was this compensation for all those years?

This was practically a blessing sent by heaven! Two geniuses had been delivered to him at once! Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang immediately said, "Branch Hall Master Ma Xiunuo, are you here to bring this child?"

Ma Xiunuo smiled.

"That's right. This child and I are fated, so I came to see him off!"

Yu Xiaogang nodded and said directly, "In that case, I happen to be going in as well. How about I take this child with me?"

Ma Xiunuo looked at Yu Xiaogang, then at Yun Feng.

Seeing Yun Feng agree, he nodded slightly.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master!"

"As I should, as I should. After all, I'm also a teacher at this academy!"

It would have been better if Yu Xiaogang had not said that. Once he did, Ma Xiunuo did not know what to say.

A teacher? Since coming to this academy, had Yu Xiaogang ever done anything a teacher ought to do?

Of course, Ma Xiunuo was not someone lacking in tact, so he naturally did not say it aloud.

He merely turned to Yun Feng and took a cloth pouch from his Storage Soul Tool.

"Xiao Feng, keep this money safe. Grandpa helped you apply for a Noble Dormitory. If you have any difficulties in daily life, just come find me!"

Although Yun Feng knew that Ma Xiunuo was merely investing in him, he was still rather moved.

He also knew that Ma Xiunuo was backing him up, though Yun Feng did not really need it.

After accepting the money, Yun Feng nodded seriously.

"I understand. If I run into any difficulties, I'll definitely come find Grandpa Ma Xiunuo!"

Seeing how sensible Yun Feng was, Ma Xiunuo did not continue. He smiled, turned around, and waved.

"I'm off to have a few drinks with some old friends and shoot the breeze. Just follow Master inside!"

Yu Xiaogang naturally heard Ma Xiunuo's instructions to Yun Feng. The words Spirit Hall also made him somewhat displeased.

But he said nothing.

Yu Xiaogang lowered his head to look at Tang San and forced a smile onto his face. His facial muscles seemed somewhat stiff, and his smile was rather unpleasant to look at.

After taking Tang San's hand, he subconsciously extended his other hand, intending to take Yun Feng's as well.

But the instant Yun Feng saw Yu Xiaogang's hand reach out, he lowered his head and carried his things.

Seeing that both of Yun Feng's hands were occupied, Yu Xiaogang did not persist.

"Let's go in!"

Yun Feng slung his luggage onto his back as well and slowly followed behind Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

After walking for a while, Yu Xiaogang turned to look at Tang San.

"Your name is written on the Spirit Hall certificate. You're Tang San, right?"

Tang San nodded honestly. "Yes, Teacher!"

Yun Feng was already numb. Couldn't this whole conning routine wait until after he finished registering?

Sure enough, the moment that thought arose in Yun Feng's mind—

Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "I'm not a teacher."

Tang San looked somewhat confused.

"Then you are?"

Seeing Tang San's expression, Yu Xiaogang slowly said, "I'm merely a resident who freeloads on food and lodging here."

"Like everyone else, you can call me Master. Everyone calls me that. I've even forgotten my own name by now. After all, there's quite a difference in meaning between 'Master' and 'teacher'!"

"Unless... you're truly willing to let me be your teacher!"

As Yu Xiaogang said this, he glanced at Yun Feng from the corner of his eye, as though hoping Yun Feng would directly take him as his master as well! Yun Feng naturally noticed Yu Xiaogang's look, but he did not even feel like mocking him anymore.

Tang San had lived through so much in his previous life, so why did all that life experience seem to vanish after he became a child?

He could actually fall for such a simple line from Yu Xiaogang.

"Are you going to teach me knowledge about cultivating martial souls?"

Master stopped walking and turned to face Tang San.

"Then are you willing?"

Tang San naturally stopped as well. He raised his head to look at Yu Xiaogang before him, but did not speak. He neither agreed nor refused.

Yun Feng was afraid of seeing what came next, and even more afraid that Yu Xiaogang would ask whether he wanted to take him as his master, bringing misfortune upon himself. So he immediately said, "Master, I really need to pee. I'll head over first and ask where I'm supposed to register!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Feng took off running. He was truly afraid of the God King Tang's famous saying: "You have taken the path to death."

He was also afraid of Tang Hao's pettiness. If he overheard something he should not have, Tang Hao might just kill Yun Feng in his sleep!

It simply was not worth it!
