Seeing this scene, Su Xing felt so awkward he could practically feel cancer cells forming, but he had to admit that the trajectory of history and the fated encounter had finally brought them together.
"Alright, alright, this little one understands." The guard hurriedly tucked the Soul Silver Coins into his pocket, then nodded and bowed in response.
The master shook the Spirit Proof that Old Jack had given him and smiled, saying, "Are you curious why I knew you had Twin Martial Souls? It is precisely because of this Spirit Proof of yours."
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang San was greatly shocked.
Seeing this, Tang San and Old Jack both gasped, their minds filled with question marks.
Sensing that things were going south, the guard hurriedly bent down to pick up the proof from the ground. His anger instantly transformed into fawning, and he walked over to Su Xing, nodding and bowing as he said, "Little brother, I... I wouldn't dare go against Martial Soul Hall. It was my fault just now; I apologize to you both."
"Get lost! Do you think I care about your pocket change? In the future, when you meet elderly people, show a little more respect, understand?" Old Jack looked at this middle-aged man; although his appearance was ordinary and he wore a simple, plain gray robe, he possessed a unique temperament. Thinking he must be an important figure at the academy, he handed over the Spirit Proof in his hand.
"..." After saying this, the master suddenly looked at Su Xing and said, "By the same logic, you should also have Twin Martial Souls, right?"
"Old gentleman, your proof is perfectly fine. I apologize to you on behalf of the academy for what just happened. Please leave these two children to me." The master placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly.
"A Sickle martial soul with Innate Full Soul Power? I have never heard of any Sickle martial soul having the quality to reach Innate Full Soul Power. Could it be that he, like the other child with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, is also a once-in-a-century Twin Martial Soul?" His expression was as if he were facing his own ancestor.
"Are you not a teacher?" Tang San was slightly stunned, then quickly said, "Then you must be a very impressive person. After all, the title 'Master' is not something just anyone can claim."
"No, no need to apologize, he has already apologized. Master, I will leave these two children in your care." Old Jack waved his hands and said respectfully.
"I'll leave it to you." Hearing this, the guard was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly nodded and bowed to the newcomer: "Master, you've returned."
The master looked down at the name on the Spirit Proof in his hand, a flash of brilliance crossing his eyes as he said in a deep voice.
"And you, you have Innate Full Soul Power at level ten. According to one of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul that I have researched, which states that innate soul power is directly proportional to martial soul quality, your Blue Silver Grass clearly cannot satisfy this. Therefore, I am certain that you must have another martial soul, and a very powerful one at that."
At this moment, he was completely convinced that this child must be from a prominent family; after all, the kid didn't even glance at the Soul Silver Coins. As for Grandpa Old Jack, he was still in a state of bewilderment, completely unable to grasp what was happening.
The master looked at the proof, then shifted his gaze to Su Xing and Tang San.
At this moment, a somewhat hoarse voice rang out: "Greetings, the three of you. May I take a look at the Spirit Proof in your hands?"
After saying this, Su Xing took Old Jack's hand, making a gesture as if to turn around and head to the Nuoding City Martial Soul Hall.
Suddenly, Tang San asked, "May I ask if you are a teacher at the academy?"
Seeing this situation, the guard who had been arrogant and domineering just a moment ago hurriedly blocked the path of the three, respectfully apologizing: "I am truly sorry, it was my fault just now. I hope you will not hold a grudge against a small person like me. Look, can we just let this matter slide?"
After saying this, the guard gritted his teeth and hurriedly took out several Soul Silver Coins from his pocket, stuffing them into Su Xing's hand.
"I think you are intentionally trying to go against Martial Soul Hall. Grandpa Jack, let's go to the Nuoding City Martial Soul Hall and report this guy."
Seeing this, Tang San and Old Jack both looked at Su Xing in stunned silence, their hearts filled with suspicion and wonder, thinking, This is too impressive; he brought the guard to heel in just a few sentences.
"By the way, your name is Tang San, right? You must understand that the meaning of 'Master' and 'teacher' are worlds apart. You shouldn't use them incorrectly in the future, unless... unless you are truly willing to let me be your teacher."
"Could it be that I haven't slept well lately, and my mind has become a bit hazy?" The master felt his eyes were a bit tired, and he rubbed them.
But when the master turned his gaze to Su Xing, for some reason, he felt a chill in his heart, feeling that this child was somewhat eerie, as if he could see right through his soul.
As soon as he finished speaking, the master suddenly stopped, raised his hand, and ruffled Tang San's hair. "You are gifted and so clever (and so good at flattery, I like it). It seems I will have to be persistent for once. Regardless, you are also a once-in-a-century Twin Martial Soul."
Su Xing turned his head to look. A middle-aged man of medium height, slightly thin, with an ordinary appearance, a buzz cut, and thick stubble on his face, looking somewhat decadent, had arrived behind them at some point.
What an impressive technique. This is even more impressive than the elders of the Tang Sect in my previous life. Is Brother Su really only six years old? Tang San, who had lived two lives, expressed deep doubt internally.
The aura in Su Xing's every word and action was even more imposing than that of the noble children of the Heaven Dou Empire. The guard vaguely felt that the background of these people was not simple.
"Teacher? I am not a teacher at the academy. I am just an idler in the academy who sponges off the food and drink. You can call me Master. Everyone else calls me that as well." The master said in a daze.
This accusation landed, instantly turning the guard's face pale and making him tremble all over.
Su Xing kicked the guard in the shin, pushed the Soul Silver Coins back, and said indignantly.
"I once investigated six hundred and forty-seven people whose martial soul was Blue Silver Grass. Among them, only a handful had soul power, a probability of less than three percent. Even among those who had soul power, not a single person's soul power exceeded level one."
On the way into the academy, the master looked at the two Spirit Proofs in his hand, rubbing his chin unconsciously as he calculated in his heart.
"???" The master was very happy after hearing this and laughed out loud, thinking, This little brat is good at flattery, I like it.
Clearly, Tang San had always remembered what his father had told him: never let outsiders know that he possessed Twin Martial Souls.
"Are... are you going to teach me how to cultivate my martial soul?" Hearing this, Tang San asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San was suddenly stunned. His left wrist had already been raised quietly, and his eyes revealed a look of uncertainty.
Afterward, after Old Jack gave Su Xing and Tang San a few words of advice, he left, while Su Xing and Tang San followed behind the master into the academy.
Su Xing looked the middle-aged man up and down. It was clear that this person was Yu Xiaogang, the man known as the one with the invincible theory on the Douluo Continent, and also Tang San's future teacher.
"You, a mere guard, actually dared to ignore a proof issued by Martial Soul Hall and even threw it on the ground to trample on it at will. I think you are intentionally trying to go against Martial Soul Hall, aren't you?"
