"Make way! Make way!"

Within minutes, Nuoding Academy's dean, director, and teachers hurried over.

The murder had taken place right outside their gates, and the victim was one of their academy's gatekeepers.

Naturally, Nuoding Academy's people were the first to arrive.

"Master, what happened here?"

Seeing acquaintances arrive, Yu Xiaogang could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He hurriedly explained the situation, saying that a hidden Soul Master had killed the gatekeeper.

As for the conflict between the gatekeeper, Tang San, and Old Jack before that, Yu Xiaogang did not mention a word.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's absolute certainty, the dean and teachers of Nuoding Academy chose to believe him.

Regardless of Yu Xiaogang's strength or whether his martial soul was useless.

After all, Yu Xiaogang bore the title of Master in the Soul Master world, and his understanding of martial souls far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Since he believed that another Soul Master had killed the man, there was a high chance that was the truth.

The dean, teachers, and the others all activated their martial souls and released their soul rings, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

For a moment, white, yellow, and purple lights flashed, illuminating the area and drawing cries of astonishment from the crowd.

Tang San stared at the multicolored soul rings in surprise, his eyes flickering.

It seems that if the Mysterious Heaven Skill is to break through the bottleneck of its first stage, the key lies in these soul rings.

The onlookers immediately retreated far away when they saw Nuoding Academy's people activate their martial souls.

To survive in such a supernatural world, there were certain things one had to understand.

Once a conflict between Soul Masters was involved, commoners like them could not watch from up close.

Otherwise, they would not even know how they died.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As though confirming Yu Xiaogang's guess, seven or eight fist-sized stones suddenly shot out from a corner of the street. They moved so quickly that they stirred up gusts of wind.

Yu Xiaogang, the dean of Nuoding Academy, and the teachers all paled. Thinking that the hidden Soul Master had finally attacked, they hastily unleashed their respective soul skills to block them.

"First Soul Skill, Fart Like Thunder, Luo Sanpao Shatters Heaven and Earth!"

"First Soul Skill, Water Shield!"

"Second Soul Skill, Sweeping Through All Directions!"

With the combined efforts of the many Soul Masters, the flying stones were all intercepted, breaking into rubble and dust as they fell to the ground.

Source Power increased by 200 points

Seeing this, Gu Yi sighed inwardly. "So Tang Hao made his move after all. As expected, he would not let Tang San leave Nuoding Academy, so he went along with Yu Xiaogang's story and played the killer from the shadows."

"Even if someone notices the Sleeve Arrow in the gatekeeper's throat, they will think it was fired by the hidden killer. After all, who would suspect a six-year-old child?"

Tang Hao was himself a wanted criminal, pursued across the continent by Spirit Hall. Naturally, he would not allow his son to become wanted as well.

Tang San, who possessed Twin Martial Souls, was the foundation of his future revenge against Spirit Hall and the hope for Clear Sky Sect's resurgence.

Therefore, Tang Hao had to give Tang San a stable environment in which to grow!

Before that, he absolutely could not let Spirit Hall notice Tang San's existence!

But this meant that the plot Gu Yi had changed this time was not very significant. He would probably gain at most four or five hundred Source Power afterward.

Sure enough, Nuoding Academy's group remained on high alert, but after waiting for over ten minutes, no further attack came.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Xiaogang said to the dean, "The killer may have seen that we have so many Soul Masters here and realized that he could not succeed, so he left."

The dean nodded, finding it reasonable as well.

With him, a high-level Soul Elder, along with the academy's many Soul Elders and Soul Grandmaster teachers, their strength within Nuoding City was surpassed only by the City Lord's Manor and Spirit Hall's branch hall.

Ordinary Soul Masters would not dare contend against them. It was only normal for the killer to leave now.

Otherwise, once the city guards and Spirit Hall's Enforcement Team arrived, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

Speak of the devil, and he appeared.

Nuoding City's guards finally arrived belatedly and quickly surrounded the scene.

Spirit Hall's Enforcement Team from Nuoding City's branch hall arrived with the city guards as well.

They had heard that the murder here involved a Soul Master.

As the largest Soul Master organization on the continent, they had a duty to handle serious incidents caused by Soul Masters.

Of course, that was the official reason.

In truth, Spirit Hall wanted to use this method to interfere in the affairs of the two great empires and leave the impression among the people that Spirit Hall was a force for justice, preparing for its future ambitions.

Just as Spirit Hall helped six-year-old children awaken their martial souls for free across the continent and distributed Gold Soul Coins to Soul Masters below level forty.

But a gentleman judged deeds, not motives.

At least for now, Spirit Hall's actions had indeed brought tremendous benefits to the people and lower-ranked Soul Masters.

Even Gu Yi had to acknowledge Spirit Hall's favor.

After hearing from Nuoding Academy's dean that the killer had already left, the city guards and Enforcement Team did not investigate too deeply. They merely questioned Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the other parties involved before returning.

In the end, the dead gatekeeper was merely an ordinary person. He was not worth mobilizing such a large force to pursue a Soul Master of unknown rank. Sending a few people to put on a show was enough.

Nuoding Academy's teachers also returned to the academy one after another.

The school term was about to begin, and the academy still had much to do.

Thus, the gatekeeper's death was temporarily brought to an end.

Nuoding Academy, main teaching building.

Gu Yi, Tang San, and Xiao Wu followed Yu Xiaogang to the Academic Affairs Office on the first floor to register the information of the new Work-Study Students.

Originally, Gu Yi had wanted to come by himself.

However, when Yu Xiaogang returned to the academy, he specifically insisted on taking Gu Yi to register, saying it was to prevent the hidden killer from returning to attack him.

Xiao Wu had stepped out of the crowd voluntarily after hearing him say that.

Gu Yi felt rather helpless.

Others did not know who the real killer was, but did he not know?

Following Yu Xiaogang instead made it easier to court death.

If he heard Tang San's secret, a Sleeve Arrow might fly at him the next second.

Of course, with Gu Yi's current strength, he was not afraid of Tang San's hidden weapons.

More than that, he simply did not want to witness the famous scene of taking disciples.

However, Nuoding Academy's dean and teachers had all been there at the time, so Gu Yi neither could nor had any reason to refuse.

Fortunately, with so many people around, Yu Xiaogang had not, as in the original story, spouted a bunch of nonsense on the way about taking Tang San and Gu Yi as disciples.

He was probably planning to make his move when fewer people were around.

Yu Xiaogang was also afraid that Nuoding Academy's teachers would object while he was taking disciples, or even steal them away first.

Quite a few of them had cultivation levels higher than his.

And when ordinary children sought a master, they generally chose someone stronger...

After helping the three register their information, Director Su said with emotion, "I never expected my little Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy to recruit three geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power at once. This is simply a once-in-a-century... no, once-in-a-millennium occurrence!"

Tang San, whose expression had been calm as still water, could not help lifting his head at those words to look at Gu Yi and Xiao Wu, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes.

He had not expected that Gu Yi and Xiao Wu, who had arrived alongside him, also possessed Innate Full Soul Power.

According to what Su Yuntao had said, was Innate Full Soul Power not extremely rare?

It seems I cannot underestimate the people of this world, Tang San thought to himself.

Xiao Wu, who was slower to react, was equally surprised. Her bright, watery eyes turned toward Gu Yi and Tang San, her fellow Work-Study Students. "Huh? You two have Innate Full Soul Power too?"

"Hehe, we really are fated."
