Tang San moved with astonishing speed, knocking out three firm kowtows that left Yu Xiaogang completely stunned.

What the hell was this?

It was not just him—Gu Xuan beside him wore the same bewildered expression.

However, Gu Xuan's gaze held more of the look of someone enjoying a spectacle.

Gu Xuan knew that Tang San would kowtow and acknowledge Yu Xiaogang as his father before taking him as his master.

But he had not expected the boy to act so quickly.

Yu Xiaogang had barely said a few words when Tang San's knees seemed to suddenly go weak.

He dropped straight to the ground and kowtowed.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Even Tang San's own father, Tang Hao, probably had never received such treatment, right?

After coming back to his senses, Yu Xiaogang revealed an exceedingly satisfied smile.

Even if a beggar on the street kowtowed to him, he would be pleased for half the day.

Let alone Tang San kowtowing to take him as his master.

Yu Xiaogang had never enjoyed such treatment before.

He bent down and pulled Tang San to his feet.

"Child, why do you need to kowtow when taking a master?"

Tang San looked solemn as he answered in all seriousness.

"A teacher for a day is a father for life!"

"You deserve my kneeling salute!"

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang could barely suppress the corners of his mouth.

"A teacher for a day is a father for life. Good!"

"Tang San, I was right about you after all!"

Thus, Tang San successfully acknowledged Yu Xiaogang as his father.

At the same time, Gu Xuan, standing nearby, also nearly failed to suppress the corners of his mouth.

Because it was simply too funny.

There was indeed a reason why a famous scene was called a famous scene.

Fortunately, he had received professional training and had excellent control over his expression.

That was why he did not laugh out loud.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang's gaze suddenly fell upon Gu Xuan beside him.

Compared to Tang San, this child had not said a single word to him from beginning to end.

This made Yu Xiaogang somewhat dissatisfied.

However, he had witnessed from start to finish how Gu Xuan had cleanly and efficiently dealt with the gatekeeper at the academy entrance.

Thus, Yu Xiaogang still held some appreciation for Gu Xuan.

Besides, Tang San, whose Blue Silver Grass was a Waste Spirit, was already his disciple.

If Gu Xuan, with his sickle Weapon Spirit, could also take him as his master, Yu Xiaogang would naturally be more than willing.

Originally, he had only accepted Tang San as a disciple in order to verify the invincible theory he had developed over so many years.

To use him as a test subject.

If he could take in another Gu Xuan as a comparison group, that would be even better.

With that thought, Yu Xiaogang forced out a stiff smile and looked at Gu Xuan.

"Gu Xuan, would you also be willing to have me as your teacher?"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San, who had just successfully taken a master and was still smugly pleased with himself, hurriedly nodded at Gu Xuan.

Urging him to agree quickly.

Such a good teacher would be impossible to find again if he missed this chance.

Who would have thought that, beneath the astonished gazes of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, Gu Xuan gently shook his head.

"I have no intention of taking a master right now."

Such a good teacher—Tang San could keep him and enjoy him slowly by himself.

Gu Xuan had not the slightest interest in Yu Xiaogang.

Was the system not good enough?

Why would he acknowledge a useless and disgusting man like Yu Xiaogang as his teacher?

Only Tang San liked that sort of thing.

Gu Xuan's answer clearly caught Yu Xiaogang by surprise.

He had never expected a six-year-old child to refuse to take him as his master!

I'm a renowned master in the Spirit Master World!

At that thought, Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized something.

Perhaps Gu Xuan was too young and had never heard of his reputation, which was why he had refused.

He gave an indifferent smile.

"I'm a somewhat well-known master in the Martial Soul World. If you take me as your master—"

"—then, like Tang San, you'll learn plenty of theoretical knowledge about martial souls!"

Gu Xuan sneered inwardly.

Tang San might be happy to serve as your test subject, but I sure as hell am not.

He shook his head again, his gaze exceptionally firm.

"Sorry, I have no intention of taking a master!"

Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded.

The corners of his mouth twitched as he looked at Gu Xuan, silently consoling himself.

This child with a sickle martial soul and Level Five Spirit Power truly was short-sighted!

A child was still a child, after all. He had no ability to judge right from wrong.

What a pity, Gu Xuan. You had already missed the most important opportunity of your life!

You would regret the decision you made today!

Having been rejected twice in a row by a child, he became anxious.

He simply could not accept it.

Tang San, standing nearby, was equally unable to understand Gu Xuan's actions.

He merely shook his head and sighed softly.

He regretted that Gu Xuan had missed out on a good teacher in this life.

Though he had already played out an entire drama in his mind, Yu Xiaogang's outward expression remained fairly normal.

He nodded as though he did not care in the slightest, then turned his gaze back to Tang San.

"No matter, no matter."

"I'll take you to the Academic Affairs Office to register."

Little did he know that Gu Xuan was already laughing himself sick inside.

After registration was complete, Yu Xiaogang left.

Gu Xuan and Tang San carried their belongings to the dormitory together.

The Academic Affairs Office teacher told them that all work-study students lived in Dormitory Seven.

Dormitory Seven was a rather special existence among all the dormitories.

Its conditions were also the worst, as it was specifically meant for work-study students.

It was also the only dormitory where students of different ages were mixed together.

Regardless of grade, all work-study students lived here.

Just as Gu Xuan and Tang San arrived outside Dormitory Seven, they heard noisy voices coming from within.

The door stood wide open. Tang San walked straight to the entrance and looked inside.

Gu Xuan did not move at all. He stood behind him with the air of someone preparing to watch a show.

Dormitory Seven was quite spacious, nearly three hundred square meters.

There were fifty beds arranged inside.

At that moment, seven or eight children were loudly clamoring.

Just then, Tang San reached out and knocked on the door.

The talking children immediately turned their gazes in his direction.

One of the older children looked Tang San over, taking in his patch-covered clothes.

Then he turned and walked toward him.

This child was nearly two heads taller than Tang San and was quite sturdily built.

Stopping before Tang San, he looked down at him somewhat condescendingly.

"New work-study student?"

A faint smile appeared on Tang San's face.

"Hello, I'm a work-study student from Holy Spirit Village."

"I'm Wang Sheng. My spirit is the War Tiger, and I'm the boss here!

"Kid, what's your name? What's your spirit?"

"My name is Tang San. My spirit is Blue Silver Grass."

Tang San answered with utmost seriousness.

"Blue Silver Grass? Since when could a Blue Silver Grass spirit cultivate?"

Wang Sheng looked utterly astonished, nearly laughing his teeth out.

Blue Silver Grass was a notoriously Waste Spirit.

At the same time, the children in the dorm burst into laughter as well.

They looked at Tang San as if he were an idiot.

Tang San frowned slightly.

"Could you move aside?"

Wang Sheng ignored Tang San completely.

"Little Sanzi, I'm the boss here!"

"From now on, you listen to me. Got it?"

At those words, the smile on Tang San's face vanished instantly.

"My name is Tang San, not Little Sanzi!"

Ding! System mission triggered! Mission: Sacrifice Tang San! Mission Reward: 100% chance to obtain 1 Diamond Blind Box!

At that moment, the system's pleasant voice suddenly sounded in Gu Xuan's mind.
