Tang San Enrolls

After two years of continuously taking medicinal herbs like Hundred-year Ginseng and Hundred-year Lingzhi,

Ye Yu successfully broke through to soul power level 10 in his second year.

However, Ye Yu did not immediately choose to apply to hunt for his first soul ring.

The reason was simple.

Because Ye Yu knew very well that merely becoming a Soul Master was not his goal.

His goal was to allow his Blue Silver Grass martial soul to continuously evolve and become stronger.

Perhaps even gain the chance to become a god!

Therefore, what soul ring he absorbed was extremely important!

But with the knowledge of soul beasts Ye Yu currently possessed,

there simply were no suitable plant-type soul beasts with powerful Life Attributes.

Even if there were, they would certainly be in the Star Dou Great Forest.

And with the strength of Nuoding Academy's teachers, they would at most be willing to take Ye Yu to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a soul ring.

As for the Star Dou Great Forest, that was obviously impossible.

It was far too dangerous!

Thus, Ye Yu chose to continue cultivating quietly and wait for Tang San to enroll. Then, under Yu Xiaogang's lead, they would go hunt for soul rings.

At that time, Tang Hao would definitely be following behind them.

That would be the best opportunity for Ye Yu to steal the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone and Blue Silver Emperor A Yin!

January 1st, Douluo Era 2637.

It was another year, another day for enrollment at Nuoding Academy.

Everything seemed no different from before.

But Ye Yu knew that this day was far from ordinary.

Because today was the day Tang San, the protagonist of Douluo Continent, enrolled at Nuoding Academy.

And it was also the day Ye Yu intended to apply for graduation.

Leaving home, Ye Yu headed for Nuoding Academy.

Before he even reached the academy gates,

he heard a shrill, cutting voice mocking someone.

"Oh~ A golden phoenix can come out of a grass nest? And you say you have Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power? Who do you think you're fooling?!"

Hearing the voice, Ye Yu's heart stirred.

Could this be...

He quickly stepped forward.

At the entrance to Nuoding Academy,

the gatekeeper responsible for guarding the entrance had his hands on his hips and was sneering disdainfully at an elderly man before him. The old man wore plain grayish-brown clothes, held a cane, and had white hair and beard, his weathered face full of age.

Beside the old man stood a thin boy dressed in patched clothing. He had short black hair and ordinary features, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

Though he did not know them, Ye Yu was certain.

These two were most likely the famous Holy Spirit Village chief Old Jack and Tang San.

Faced with the gatekeeper's mockery, especially his insult toward Holy Spirit Village, Old Jack gradually became angry as well.

As their argument escalated,

the gatekeeper flew into a rage and directly made his move, intending to drive them away.

"Get out of here! Nuoding Academy isn't a charity! Get the hell out! Get out!"

Seeing that the gatekeeper actually reached out to shove Old Jack, Ye Yu could not help frowning as he prepared to step in.

It was not because he wanted to curry favor with Tang San.

Rather, as a transmigrator with normal values,

he could not stand by and watch someone bully a kind old man when it was within his power to help.

However, Ye Yu clearly did not need to intervene.

Seeing that the gatekeeper actually wanted to shove Old Jack,

Tang San immediately acted. With a strange technique, he sent the gatekeeper tumbling to the ground in one move.

This left the gatekeeper furious. He climbed to his feet and charged at Tang San.

He was ready to beat this little bastard senseless!

"Stop!"

But at that moment, a hoarse shout rang out.

From behind a flower bed not far away,

a figure emerged wearing a black academic robe. His face was stiff, his hands clasped behind his back, and his demeanor calm and detached.

Ye Yu looked over, narrowing his eyes as he sneered inwardly.

Ever since he had seen Yu Xiaogang's true nature at the academy—his inferiority and sensitivity before the strong, his arrogance and conceit before the weak, and his pretentious self-importance—

Ye Yu had found something strange.

Why had Yu Xiaogang been so kind in the novel, stepping forward to help Old Jack and Tang San?

So Yu Xiaogang had already overheard that Tang San possessed a Blue Silver Grass martial soul with Innate Full Soul Power.

And he had deliberately waited until the gatekeeper made a move and the situation escalated before finally stepping in.

What followed was the plot from the novel.

Yu Xiaogang berated the gatekeeper with a lofty attitude and led Tang San into Nuoding Academy.

Ye Yu followed behind them.

After entering Nuoding Academy,

it was not long before

Ye Yu saw Tang San somehow get talked into it by Yu Xiaogang.

He directly knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times to Yu Xiaogang.

Though he had known this would happen,

Ye Yu's mouth still twitched, and he felt utterly speechless.

Because what Yu Xiaogang had told Tang San was riddled with holes.

Others might not know.

But did Tang San himself not know how he had obtained his Innate Full Soul Power?

How could he believe Yu Xiaogang?!

After accepting Tang San as his disciple, Yu Xiaogang also noticed Ye Yu. The corners of his mouth tugged slightly on his stiff face.

"Teacher, what is it?"

Tang San asked with concern.

"Nothing. I merely saw a greedy and selfish student."

"His martial soul is also Blue Silver Grass, like yours, but his Innate Soul Power is only level one."

"I have always been conducting research on Blue Silver Grass martial souls, which would have been greatly beneficial to a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master like him."

"But I merely wanted to obtain some data from him, yet he refused to cooperate no matter what."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head. With a few casual words, he painted Ye Yu as an ungrateful, selfish person.

Tang San could not help knitting his brows tightly.

This guy actually dared to make Teacher unhappy!

Hmph! You have already earned the right to die!

Ye Yu did not hear Yu Xiaogang's words.

But after seeing Yu Xiaogang glance at him before saying something to Tang San,

and then Tang San frown and look at him,

Ye Yu understood perfectly well.

That hypocritical and shameless Great Master had definitely said something bad about him to Tang San.

But since he knew Tang San was the sort who sided with those close to him rather than reason,

Ye Yu only felt helpless and had no intention of explaining himself.

Offending Yu Xiaogang was basically the same as offending Tang San.

He had long been mentally prepared for it.

Of course, even if he had not offended Yu Xiaogang,

once his plan to steal the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone and take A Yin was exposed, he would become mortal enemies with the Tang father and son anyway.

Either way, he was definitely going to become a villain.

The only difference was whether he would become a major boss or a minor lackey.

After seeing Yu Xiaogang continue leading Tang San toward the Dean's Office,

Ye Yu followed as well, since he too was applying for graduation.

After Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San into the Dean's Office, he turned and left.

As they passed one another,

Ye Yu could clearly sense the disdain, mockery, and faint ridicule in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

This made Ye Yu frown.

But he did not take it seriously.

By now, he had figured Yu Xiaogang out.

This guy was nothing more than a bully who feared the strong, a hypocritical and shameless petty man.

Given Ye Yu's current status, wealth, and influence in Nuoding City, this guy would at most dare to trip him up in secret.

If he had to target Ye Yu openly, he would not dare even if given ten thousand times the courage!

"Director Su!"

After pushing open the door to the administrative office, Ye Yu walked over to Director Su and greeted him with a slight smile.

"So it's Ye Yu!"

Seeing Ye Yu, Director Su—who had just handed Tang San his school uniform and told him to report to Dormitory Seven—also smiled warmly.

"You'll be entering sixth grade this year, right?"

Ye Yu shook his head and said,

"Director Su, I'm actually here to apply for early graduation this time, because I've already reached level 10."

"What?!"

Director Su was immediately startled.

The other teachers in the administrative office were also shocked.

But soon, congratulations rang out one after another.

"Ye Yu, congratulations!"

"Before graduating, do you need the academy to help you hunt your first soul ring?"

After congratulating him with a smile, Director Su asked warmly.

"Thank you for your concern, Director Su, but I do not plan to hunt for my first soul ring yet."

"Because I haven't decided what soul beast I want to hunt for my first soul ring."

Ye Yu politely thanked him, but chose to decline.

Director Su merely chuckled and did not insist.

With Ye Yu's current identity, wealth, and influence, there was no need to worry about obtaining a soul ring.

"Hehe, if you need anything, Student Ye Yu, you can come to the academy at any time."

"After all, Student Ye Yu, you are Nuoding Academy's most outstanding student of the past decade!"

"As for your early graduation application, please wait here for a moment."

"Since Student Ye Yu is applying for early graduation, I need to notify the headmaster and prepare your graduation certificate."

"Alright. Then I'll trouble you, Director Su!"

Ye Yu politely gave Director Su a slight bow.

Then he found a seat in the office and began waiting.
