After learning that Master was from Nuoding Academy, Old Jack gladly handed him the certificate in his hand.

"Innate Full Soul Power... Blue Silver Grass!... Martial Soul, Egg!"

Master's gaze sharpened as he said to Old Jack, "Sir, leave these two children to me. I'll take them to complete the formalities."

"Alright, thank you, Teacher!"

Old Jack was delighted. After telling Tang San and Tang Jiu to take good care of themselves, he left.

Instead of taking Tang Jiu and Tang San to the Academic Affairs Office to handle the formalities, Master led them straight toward his own office.

"What do you teach at the academy, Teacher?" Tang San asked curiously.

"I'm not a teacher at this academy. Everyone calls me Master," Master said.

"To be called Master by everyone, your status must be anything but ordinary." Tang Jiu sighed. His former dream had also been to let the whole world know who he was, but he had utterly failed to achieve it.

"Then have you considered taking me as your master?" A smile finally appeared on Master's ascetic face as he looked at Tang Jiu and Tang San.

"That depends on what benefits you can offer us." Tang Jiu grinned. Tang San remained silent, but his gaze clearly told Master: Why should I take you as my master?

"Two clever children!" Master smiled even more happily. They had talent and weren't foolish either—such promising seedlings were truly rare.

After entering the office and closing the door, Master finally fixed his bright gaze on Tang San. "You are the third person on the continent in nearly a hundred years to possess Twin Martial Souls!"

Tang San's heart jolted. He had never expected his secret to be exposed so quickly. Master had only glanced at the certificate from Spirit Hall—this was far too terrifying!

Master immediately explained, "I investigated six hundred and forty-seven people whose Martial Souls were Blue Silver Grass. Only sixteen possessed Soul Power, and none of them had Soul Power above level one. Yet you possess Innate Full Soul Power. According to one of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul that I have researched, Soul Power is directly proportional to the quality of one's Martial Soul.

"The higher the Soul Power, the stronger the Martial Soul. Yet your Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, which means you must have another Martial Soul, and it must be an exceptionally powerful one, directly proportional to your Innate Full Soul Power."

Tang San was immediately won over by Master's vast knowledge, and respect appeared on his face.

Master was very satisfied. Then he turned to Tang Jiu and said, "Your Egg Spirit is actually the initial form of a Beast Spirit. It belongs to an oviparous creature. It only appeared in this form when your Martial Soul awakened because your body was too weak. Only once your body and Soul Power reach a level capable of bearing it will it hatch from its shell!"

"Furthermore, I dare say that it is a Power Type Martial Soul!"

"Why?" Tang Jiu raised an eyebrow. Honestly, judging it to be Power Type based solely on an Egg Spirit was rather frightening.

"Because of the hammer you're carrying! If you weren't a Power Type Soul Master, you couldn't possibly possess such great strength!

"Moreover, your Soul Ring clearly exceeds four hundred years. You must have another Martial Soul to enhance your physical constitution, allowing you to bear such a high-level Soul Ring!

"You are also someone with Twin Martial Souls!" Master declared with certainty.

Only then did Tang Jiu realize that Master's observational and deductive abilities were truly formidable. He was indeed the most knowledgeable person on Douluo Continent!

"Master, you got one thing wrong!" Tang Jiu said with a smile.

"Oh? Tell me, where was my judgment wrong?" Master immediately became interested.

"My Soul Ring wasn't obtained by hunting a Soul Beast. It is my other Martial Soul—my Martial Soul is a Spirit Ring Spirit!" Tang Jiu said.

"What?" Master's pupils suddenly contracted as he muttered, "How is that possible!"

He had seen all manner of strange and bizarre Martial Souls. He had believed that no matter what became a Martial Soul, he would not be surprised! Yet a Martial Soul that was a Soul Ring had never once appeared in his mind!

"Activate your Martial Soul and experience it for yourself," Tang Jiu said.

"Alright!"

Master immediately summoned his Soul Rings. Two Yellow Soul Rings floated quietly around him. Then Tang Jiu flung out the Spirit Ring Spirit in his hand and placed it around Master's body. In an instant, Master's second Yellow Soul Ring vanished!

"Th-this is too monstrous!"

Tang San had never seen Tang Jiu suppress Tang Hao's Soul Rings. This was the first time he had seen someone make another person's Soul Ring disappear, and he felt utterly shaken.

Even a Titled Douluo had nine Soul Rings. If one Soul Ring vanished during battle, what a terrifying disaster that would be!

"It truly is a Spirit Ring Spirit! It directly severed my connection with the Soul Ring, so I can no longer use that Soul Ring's Soul Skill. I also feel that my Soul Power has been suppressed by around three levels. Soul Rings, Soul Skills, and Soul Power are all restricted! Too terrifying."

Although he had been mentally prepared, Master was still deeply shocked by the results after personally experiencing the Spirit Ring Spirit.

"Little Jiu, do you know? Your Martial Soul can be called a powerful Martial Soul! And I don't mean merely among land Soul Masters, but including sea Soul Masters as well!"

Master excitedly grabbed Tang Jiu's shoulders and shook him forcefully. It was as though a volcano had erupted within him. He truly could not wait to let everyone know that although Yu Xiaogang himself was incapable, he could teach the strongest students!

"The strongest? Isn't that a little too absolute?" Tang Jiu had not really thought so. Weren't there still divine Martial Souls?

Yet Master was utterly certain. He said in a deep voice:

"Little Jiu, you do not understand the terror of your Martial Soul!"

"If my guess is correct, the Soul Rings attached to the Spirit Ring Spirit can restrict the opponent's attributes, such as strength, speed, Soul Power, stamina, and even vitality!"

"But that is not the most terrifying aspect of your Martial Soul!"

"Do you know what the most terrifying function of this Martial Soul is?" A trace of shock appeared in Master's eyes, as though he had thought of scenes that even he found utterly astonishing.

Tang San could not help clicking his tongue. "That still isn't the most terrifying part? With the restrictions of nine Soul Ring skills piled on, the opponent's abilities would be cut by at least half!"

Tang San truly could not think of anything else!

Even Tang Jiu furrowed his brow in thought. What ability could be more terrifying than the Spirit Ring Spirit's power to restrict others?

"Do you know about Martial Soul Fusion Skills?" Master took a deep breath.

Tang Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up. How had he forgotten? There was a small chance that Martial Souls could fuse and produce a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. That was simply an outrageously powerful existence!

A trace of astonishment shone in Master's eyes as he said slowly, "The most terrifying part of the Spirit Ring Spirit is not its ability to restrict Soul Power. Rather, it is that its Soul Rings can fuse with any Martial Soul, and they will definitely possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
