Volume One

Su Xing had a promising future. Tang San knelt on the ground, turned his head to glance at Su Xing beside him, and asked. Tang San was slightly stunned by this, while Grandmaster's expression darkened somewhat. It was obvious that Su Xing's words had hurt his pride. Grandmaster then went on to tell Tang San a great deal about the theories behind mutated Martial Souls. "That kid in the back is strange too. He has the face of a nouveau riche. He went to the dormitory building where the noble students live, so his days ahead probably won't be easy." After several seconds of silence, Grandmaster took a deep breath and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the Academic Affairs Office to register as students and collect your academy uniforms." Could Brother Su also have Twin Martial Souls? Tang San was utterly dumbfounded by Grandmaster's words. He only felt that Grandmaster was incredibly impressive, able to tell from a simple Spirit Proof alone that he possessed Twin Martial Souls. "These two work-study students really are each stranger than the last. That one actually took that clown Grandmaster as his master. When have his Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls ever been proven? Yet he still dares to call his theories invincible. How ridiculous." "What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Su Xing could not help but laugh. As for Su Xing, who had cheats, Grandmaster's theories simply did not apply to him at all. After all, if even cheats had to be bound by the rules, what was the point of having cheats? "Uh..." Director Su stared straight at the Gold Soul Coins in Su Xing's hand. After a brief pause, he coughed and said, "What you're saying isn't impossible. Everything can be discussed." With that, Grandmaster helped Tang San to his feet, took his hand, and headed toward Nuoding Academy's Academic Affairs Office, while Su Xing happily followed behind them. After a while, Director Su was still bent over his own work, leaving Su Xing and Tang San standing to one side as though they did not exist. After saying that, Tang San dropped to his knees with a thud and kowtowed to Grandmaster, acknowledging him as his master. Director Su even thought he had misheard. Not long after Su Xing left the Academic Affairs Office, scornful voices came from within. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Director Su handed Su Xing an exquisite academy uniform and said with a smile, "Kid, you're not bad. You've got a promising future! Go to the single room in Room Three of the noble dormitory building. I'll tell the teachers there to arrange it for you." Grandmaster sighed and said to Tang San, "Register here first. These teachers will tell you what to do. I'll be leaving now. I'll come find you later." However, when it was time to assign Su Xing a dormitory, he suddenly said, "Director Su, I'm not used to sharing a dorm. Could you arrange a single room for me?" Su Xing took out three Gold Soul Coins from his clothes, lightly tossed them in his hand a few times, and added, "Fine, if that's the case, I'll share a dorm." Grandmaster nodded and turned to leave the Academic Affairs Office. Director Su was stunned when he saw this and sucked in a breath. How is this brat more practiced at this than I am? "Hehe, fine. If you refuse to admit it, forget it. I originally wanted to... sigh!" Grandmaster shook his head and sighed. Before long, Su Xing arrived at the entrance of the noble dormitory building... The moment he heard this, Director Su froze, his expression turning strange, but he still forced a smile and said, "Wait a moment. I'll handle your registration right away." Upon hearing what Tang San called Grandmaster, everyone in the Academic Affairs Office burst into laughter and began pointing at Tang San. Su Xing quietly slipped the Gold Soul Coins in his hand into Director Su's palm and whispered, "Director Su, I picked up a few Gold Soul Coins at the entrance when I came in. You must have dropped them by accident, right?" Tang San stared at Su Xing in astonishment. Seeing this, Su Xing was speechless. Did Tang San really not know that his Innate Full Soul Power was because he cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill? Su Xing scratched his head and gave another awkward smile. Honestly speaking, Grandmaster had guessed that Tang San and Su Xing possessed Twin Martial Souls from their Spirit Proofs purely by luck. "All right, thank you, Director Su. You're such a reasonable man." Su Xing took the uniform and happily walked out. I'll just refuse to admit it. What can you do to me? "That's more like it." "No. I don't think he can help me with anything." Su Xing shook his head. Su Xing knew very well that Grandmaster's theories only applied to the natives of the Douluo Continent, not to people from outside the Douluo Continent. "Is that so?" "You're a work-study student from some backwater village, and you think you deserve a single room? Your parents sent you here to study properly, not to enjoy yourself." Director Su said impatiently. "Brother Su, do you want to become Grandmaster's disciple too? I believe Grandmaster can definitely help us cultivate our Martial Souls!" "Grandmaster, don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly have Twin Martial Souls?" Tang San had awakened Twin Martial Souls because both of his parents' Martial Souls were extremely powerful—the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer—not because his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was too weak and unable to satisfy Innate Full Soul Power. Grandmaster placed the two Spirit Proofs on the desk and said to an older teacher, "Director Su, these are the work-study students sent over from Holy Soul Village this year. Please help register them." Director Su glanced around from the corners of his eyes. Only after confirming that there was no one else nearby did he put on a serious expression and say, "Ah, I really did drop them... Thank you. You're such an honest child who returns found money. All right, now let's discuss the dormitory assignment." Upon hearing this, Director Su lowered his presbyopic glasses a little and looked at Su Xing speechlessly. "You're a work-study student, and you want me to arrange a single room for you?" Nuoding Academy, Academic Affairs Office. "Me?" Urged by Su Xing, their registrations were quickly completed. Tang San was assigned to Room Seven in the dormitory building. After taking his uniform, he turned and left the Academic Affairs Office first. Tang San nodded respectfully and said, "Goodbye, Teacher." "All right, Grandmaster. Just put them there. Once I finish what I'm doing, I'll register them." Director Su did not even raise his head. Clearly, he did not think much of work-study students. "What the hell are you doing? Can't you see we've been waiting here for a long time?" Su Xing finally could not hold back any longer and snapped. "All right, stop saying bad things about Grandmaster. After all, he's the headmaster's friend." Director Su glared at the group and warned them. It had nothing to do with his theories at all. Tang San's Innate Full Soul Power was largely due to his cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Otherwise, when Tang San awakened his Martial Soul, his Mysterious Heaven Skill would not have been drawn in by that orb used to test Soul Power. His intelligence was truly beyond words. He had been fooled completely and still did not realize it. Nuoding Academy's dormitory buildings were all located in the north of the academy, so they were not difficult to find. Su Xing gave an awkward smile.
