Tang San Had Been Very Annoyed Lately

"I understand now. Great Shocker exists to make more people smile, right? Thank you, Wenlong, for being willing to let me join this noble ideal!"

After listening to Xu Wenlong's explanation, Zhen Jianwu smiled even more brightly and held out his hand to Xu Wenlong.

"Yeah, let's make more people smile together!"

Xu Wenlong shook the hand Zhen Jianwu had offered. He was not some simp; he had always felt that bringing in Zhen Jianwu could become a major asset to Great Shocker.

The two smiled at each other, and the air was filled with Smile.

"How about this? I'll arrange for two Great Shocker seniors to show you the ropes first."

Xu Wenlong patted Zhen Jianwu on the shoulder as he spoke.

"Mm!"

Zhen Jianwu nodded.

Before long, two people arrived before Xu Wenlong and Zhen Jianwu.

"Let me introduce you. This is Ichijo Kaoru!"

Ichijo Kaoru gave Zhen Jianwu the impression of a big brother next door. His extremely righteous aura also made Zhen Jianwu think highly of him.

"Hello, I'm Ichijo Kaoru, but everyone in the organization likes to call me Ichijo-san!"

"Hello, Senior Ichijo-san!"

Ichijo-san shook hands with Zhen Jianwu.

"This is Tomari Shinnosuke!"

Tomari Shinnosuke looked ordinary, but he was the sort of gentle, dependable man who inspired goodwill at first sight.

"Hello, I'm Tomari Shinnosuke. You can call me Shinnosuke!"

Tomari Shinnosuke's smile made him even more likable.

"Hello, Senior Shinnosuke!"

"Alright, this is the organization's newcomer, Zhen Jianwu. Ichijo-san and Shinnosuke, make sure you show him the ropes!"

"Jianwu, follow these two seniors and get familiar with the organization first!"

Both Ichijo-san and Tomari Shinnosuke said that Xu Wenlong could rest assured and leave Jianwu to them.

Still, the two of them truly did give off a reliable impression, so Xu Wenlong left.

"Zhen Jianwu, right? I'll call you Jianwu. Shinnosuke and I will first show you around the organization."

With that, Ichijo-san and Tomari Shinnosuke led Zhen Jianwu through Great Shocker. The deeper they went, the more his eyes were opened.

Zhen Jianwu felt as though he had entered an entirely new world.

Soon, Ichijo-san and Tomari Shinnosuke brought Zhen Jianwu to a certain place.

"This is?"

Zhen Jianwu had no idea what lay before him. Since Ichijo-san and Tomari Shinnosuke did not explain on their own, he took the initiative to ask.

"This is something every Great Shocker member must undergo. Jianwu, do you have the resolve to become stronger and protect more people?"

Ichijo-san turned back and asked.

"Mm!"

At those words, Zhen Jianwu nodded with extraordinary determination.

"Even if it brings immense pain, are you sure you can endure it?"

"I can. If my suffering alone can bring Smile to more people, then I'll do it!"

Seeing the resolute look in Zhen Jianwu's eyes, Ichijo-san seemed to recall that person who had always been willing to give a thumbs-up.

"Alright. But if you truly can't endure it, call for us early!"

"Mm. By the way, Senior, what exactly is this place?"

"This is Great Shocker's technological enhancement—modification—surgery, meant to give those without power the strength to protect others!"

Jianwu trusted Ichijo-san as well, stepping inside with resolute strides.

After Jianwu entered, a series of miserable screams rang out from within.

Tang San had been very annoyed lately, though it was not because of any problems with cultivation or his Martial Soul.

Or rather, Tang San would have preferred it if that were the problem.

The recent events had truly opened Tang San's eyes.

First, seven years after transmigrating to this magical world, he learned that it possessed Martial Souls, something his original world had lacked.

Then, when he awakened his Martial Soul, he awakened two of them. Being clever, he hid one away. Later, it was even tested that his first Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, possessed Innate Full Soul Power.

Thus, his slovenly father no longer stopped him, allowing him to attend school in town. On the first day of school, he encountered the first guard in this world whom he believed had earned a death sentence.

Although the other party had not died, the academy's Grandmaster took him as a disciple. Tang San believed Grandmaster was the strongest theorist on the continent!

Later, he entered the work-study student dormitory. The people there wanted to give him a show of force, but he defeated them one by one. The only thing that displeased him was that a somewhat timid-looking child had not acknowledged him as the boss.

Later, a little girl named Xiao Wu arrived. Although he had felt nothing for women in his previous life, and he was still a child in this one, he still developed some thoughts about her.

Later, thanks to the bedding Grandmaster gave him, he successfully ended up sharing a bed with Xiao Wu while dreaming different dreams.

Later, when he and Grandmaster went hunting a Hundred-Year Soul Beast for his first Martial Soul, one that was rare even in the entire town, he returned home to find that his house had nearly been stolen clean.

Yet this timid, unlucky youth with the strange name Ryotaro had grown close to Xiao Wu.

Clearly, he had known Xiao Wu first and had the best relationship with her, so why was this Ryotaro chatting so happily with Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu even spent far less time paying attention to him.

Moreover, both the girls and boys in class and throughout the school got along very well with Ryotaro.

Tang San believed that since Grandmaster had chosen him, that meant he was the strongest and coolest guy in all of Notting Academy. Otherwise, why had Grandmaster not chosen that damned Ryotaro as his disciple?

Grandmaster had also said that the other party was merely trash with Innate Soul Power at level six, completely incapable of comparing to an unparalleled genius like him, who possessed twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power!

Thus, Ryotaro became the second person in this world whom Tang San believed had earned a death sentence. Of course, the first person with a death sentence had not died, and Tang San was not suited to act against the second one yet, so he would let him live a little longer.

So Tang San had been very annoyed lately. Xiao Wu rarely accompanied him now, instead growing closer to some Ryotaro. Tang San was unwilling to admit it, but he truly was irritated!

Tang San had also secretly looked into that damned Ryotaro's background.

He was just another orphan, and his Innate Soul Power was only level six. Still, at Notting Academy, that counted as one of a kind.

But who was Tang San? Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power!

Although Tang San was very confident, whenever he saw Ryotaro and Xiao Wu chatting happily, his heart twitched. He always felt as though something important was about to be taken from him.

Thus, Tang San had recently begun preparing to make a move against Ryotaro.

Of course, acting within Notting Academy was definitely impossible. There were too many people watching, and Ryotaro was still a level-six Innate Soul Power genius whom the entire academy paid attention to.

Therefore, the best time to strike would be when Ryotaro reached level ten and left to hunt for a Soul Ring.
