He then took out his Martial Soul Certificate.
The gatekeeper took it and looked it over.
"What the hell?!"
"Blue Silver Grass..."
"Innate Full Soul Power!"
"You've got to be kidding me!"
"Get lost! You're trying to fool your way through with a fake Martial Soul Certificate. What, do you think this is going to work?"
Tang San's expression darkened.
"Mine is real!"
Old Jack came over at this moment.
"Little brother, we're from Sheng Hun Village. The two of them awakened their martial souls under the guidance of Lord Soul Master Su Yuntao, a deacon of Spirit Hall!"
"You think I'll believe your side of the story?"
The gatekeeper curled his lip.
"Who doesn't know that Blue Silver Grass is famously a useless martial soul?"
"How could it possibly possess Soul Power?"
"Don't think you can deceive me just because I'm not a Soul Master!"
"Why don't you doubt him and only doubt me?" Tang San asked with a frown.
Resentment welled up inside him.
When he looked at the gatekeeper, a violet glint flickered in his eyes.
The gatekeeper spread his hands.
"Although I've never heard of anything called an Ability Lock, I know your Blue Silver Grass perfectly well."
So you don't doubt what you don't know, but you do doubt what you know?
Tang San clenched both fists.
He wanted to teach this gatekeeper, who looked down on people, a lesson.
Fei tugged at the gatekeeper, signaling for him to listen.
Looking at the red-haired Fei, the gatekeeper raised his eyebrows.
"What do you want to say?"
Fei thought for a moment before saying, "Uncle, although you can't confirm that his is real, you can't insist that it's fake either, can you?"
"What if something unexpected happens and you end up bringing trouble on yourself?"
The corner of the gatekeeper's mouth twitched.
"Don't call me uncle!"
"Do I look that old?"
"Not really. You're only a little over twenty years older than me!" Fei said with a light laugh.
The gatekeeper took a deep breath and glared furiously at Fei. "Say one more word and I swear I won't let any of you in!"
Seeing this, Fei scratched his head with an embarrassed grin.
"Don't be angry, Uncle!"
"Don't call me uncle!" The gatekeeper was utterly furious, already on the verge of exploding.
He had paid a hefty sum to secure this position at Nuoding Academy.
He had also hoped to use it to line his pockets.
And to enjoy the feeling of being fawned over.
But today...
He had never been this furious in his life!
"Xiao Fei, stop talking." Old Jack stepped forward, covered Fei's mouth, and pulled him back.
If Fei continued, who knew how furious the gatekeeper might become?
"Sorry, little brother. The child doesn't know how to speak properly. Please forgive him," Old Jack said apologetically.
"Who are you calling little brother? Don't try to get close to me!" The gatekeeper waved his hand and said domineeringly, "You frauds, get out of here!"
"Nuoding Academy isn't a place a bunch of peasants like you can enter."
As he spoke, the gatekeeper kept shoving Old Jack.
"No! I don't like the way you're talking!"
"You're just a gatekeeper. Follow the proper procedure and be done with it. What gives you the right to throw your weight around here?"
Fei's gaze fell on the fiery red Ability Lock around his left wrist. He shouted, "Armament!"
The moment Fei's voice fell, the atmosphere suddenly grew tense.
A mass of blazing flames suddenly enveloped Fei. As the clang of metal rang out, a beautifully crafted suit of fiery red armor appeared on his body.
The armor gleamed with scorching light, as if it had been forged from flames. It was delicate and exquisite.
"What are you trying to do?!"
"I'm warning you, this is Nuoding Academy! If you dare cause trouble, watch out or Lord Soul Master will come out and teach you a lesson!"
Fei's sudden move made him tense up, and he also regretted what he had done earlier.
So it was real! the gatekeeper thought angrily.
"I won't make things difficult for you. We're just here to enroll. Can't you simply do your job?" Fei stood in his armor. Although he was still short, he cut an imposing figure, and the fluctuations of Soul Power from his body made the gatekeeper's heart tremble.
"Stop!"
Just then, an untimely voice suddenly rang out. A moment later, an old man wearing a long robe and sporting a crew cut walked over. His appearance was extremely ordinary.
"Old man, this has nothing to do with you!"
"Stay away from here so you don't get hurt!" Fei glanced at the crew-cut old man and warned him.
The corner of Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched slightly.
Old man?
Was he talking to him?
Although he was nearly fifty, in this world where people possessed Soul Power, he shouldn't look that old, should he?
At the very least, his hair was still black!
Wasn't he younger than Old Jack?
Yu Xiaogang darkened his face and came to stand opposite Fei.
Although Fei had just been "disrespectful" to him, he was still full of curiosity as he looked at the armor on Fei's body.
Looking at the crew-cut old man before him, Fei felt a chill of disgust run through him.
Could you imagine an unkempt old man looking at you with the same gaze he would use on a woman?
"What are you looking at?"
"Never seen a handsome man before?"
"If it weren't for your age, I would've..."
Your age...
Yu Xiaogang's expression grew even uglier, and the curiosity in his eyes faded.
He had already been observing them secretly for quite some time.
After coming into close contact with Fei, he had gained a new understanding of that mouth of his.
"Let me see your Martial Soul Certificates!" Yu Xiaogang held out both hands, asking for them.
Before Fei and Tang San could say anything, Old Jack handed both of their Martial Soul Certificates to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang took the certificates and immediately examined them carefully.
A moment later.
"The Martial Soul Certificates are genuine. You may enroll at Nuoding Academy."
Yu Xiaogang then looked at the gatekeeper. "Don't let something like this happen again. Otherwise, you can leave!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang had spoken, the gatekeeper didn't dare delay.
