Wang Feng laughed and said, "Thanks for the generous reward, young master! If you ever need anything, just tell us!" The two guards spoke in unison, utterly deferential, as if they were about to kneel before Wang Feng. "Looks like we might as well not bother with this academy. Xiao San, Grandpa, let's just go join Spirit Hall instead." After all, this was Notting Academy. The guards who'd been arrogant and dismissive only moments ago were now apologizing to him with the utmost respect. They looked at him as if he were their revered ancestor. Wang Feng sneered inwardly. Could it be that they'd been recruited by Spirit Hall before coming to the academy? Just then, a voice rang out, dripping with sarcasm and sounding oddly familiar. Tang San and Old Jack froze, both filled with suspicion. Hearing this, the two guards were overjoyed and hurriedly accepted the Gold Soul Coin. Was he really this impressive? Wang Feng stepped forward and pulled a Gold Soul Coin from his clothes. It wasn't as if he cared about one measly Gold Soul Coin! He could hardly believe what he was seeing. It felt like a dream, and he was tremendously excited. The guard understood at once and hurriedly bent over, apologizing with utmost humility. "..." Tang San. In the original story, the two guards were the sort of petty nuisances who were a nightmare to deal with. Old Jack's expression changed. He hurriedly took out the proof and handed it to the two academy guards. Without hesitation, they bent down, picked up the proof, then approached Wang Feng with obsequious smiles and looked at him. It was rather like the social niceties back in Hua Xia. The guard hurriedly said with a flattering smile, "Please don't take offense... We'd never dare to oppose Spirit Hall! We didn't mean that at all!" Wait, had he said they might as well go to Spirit Hall? The tall archway was built from solid stone, with two iron gates beneath it. It looked quite imposing. "Work-study students? Which village are you from? That little dump of yours can produce Spirit Masters? A muddy puddle only has earthworms in it. You think it can produce a dragon? Got proof? Let me see it." The two guards' eyes went wide when they saw the Gold Soul Coin! Brother Feng, was he really only six years old? Old Jack wondered where he'd gotten spending money. But Wang Feng didn't even glance at the few Silver Soul Coins. He said coldly, Old Jack scratched his head, still not quite understanding. A single Gold Soul Coin could cover an ordinary family's expenses in Notting City for several months! The two guards exchanged a glance, each seeing the confusion in the other's eyes. Wang Feng was looking around. Could these three be important figures? Was Holy Soul Village some powerful place? And then there was the proof of Innate Full Soul Power... Wang Feng ignored them completely and simply pointed to Grandpa Jack. "What an impressive trick..." After four months of all kinds of brutal training, Wang Feng's willpower had grown much stronger. These two guards had actually given Wang Feng Silver Soul Coins? What was going on? Oppose Spirit Hall? They were now utterly convinced that this child had to be someone important! "A backwater village?" Not far behind them, a thin, middle-aged man was watching the scene, his eyes full of shock. "Young brother, well, we were blind to your worth. We were in the wrong." A child from some remote village couldn't just pull out a Gold Soul Coin, could he? They absolutely couldn't afford to offend him! Wang Feng smiled at the two guards. Old Jack spent most of his time in the village. The people of Holy Soul Village were simple and honest; how could he know the tricks people in the city used? "Get lost! Keep the Gold Soul Coin. This young master is giving it to you!" The two guards, however, were trembling inside. By now, they were sure the three of them were no ordinary people... "A few Silver Soul Coins? You think you can toss that to a beggar? Do you think I need your money? My allowance for one hour is worth more than that!" Wang Feng had first brought out a Gold Soul Coin so the guards wouldn't dare look down on him, then slapped them with an accusation so serious it left them terrified and unable to doubt him. Though he was only six, he strode forward, tossing the Gold Soul Coin in his hand with an air of authority! Tang San frowned too, his gaze turning cold as he looked at the two guards. Wang Feng acted as if he didn't care, studying the Gold Soul Coin in his hand as though he hadn't even noticed them. Only then did the guard hurriedly look toward Wang Feng. Wang Feng casually tossed the Gold Soul Coin from hand to hand. Gate guards were always the worst sort of troublemakers. "But I'm still a little annoyed. I feel like going back to Spirit Hall. What should I do?" "..." Old Jack. He was a transmigrator, after all. If he used his head a little, surely he could run circles around two little nuisances like them. As he spoke, Wang Feng turned around. He was the head of a small village, and once he entered the city, he kept his head down. They'd hassled Grandpa Jack because he hadn't offered them any 'gifts.' "Sir, we're truly sorry. We were in the wrong. We hope you'll forgive us..." Their monthly wages weren't even this much! Wang Feng was secretly thrilled. He was getting to experience what it felt like to be rich, just like in his previous life. "N-no, it's fine..." Old Jack said, his face flushed red. His vanity was practically bursting. "Pick it up properly. This Gold Soul Coin is my reward to you." And there was a Gold Soul Coin, too! Even if it was just an empty threat, it was enough to scare anyone! Wang Feng remembered clearly that later, when the two guards tried to lay hands on Old Jack, Tang San knocked them down. It wasn't until a certain person showed up that the matter was settled. He was even more cunning than those sly elders of my Tang Sect! "This kid is way too impressive!" Tang San couldn't understand how Wang Feng had turned the two guards around with just a few words. Seeing this, Tang San and Old Jack both sucked in a sharp breath. "You two lowly academy guards ignored proof issued by Spirit Hall. Are you trying to oppose Spirit Hall? Notting Academy is really something these days—even its lowly gate guards dare to oppose Spirit Hall?" It looked just like an ordinary middle school in some insignificant city back in Hua Xia. "..." Old Jack had never seen anything like this. Hearing that, Old Jack's expression changed again. Anger rose in his heart, but he didn't dare let it show. But he still hesitated! The two guards' faces changed dramatically in an instant! Wang Feng didn't want to fight two little nuisances. He didn't want to lower himself to their level, nor did he want them to dare lay hands on Grandpa Jack so he could step in afterward. So he spoke up first. Seeing this, the two guards jolted. Wang Feng had them completely under his thumb. "What do you think?" That was incredible! Wang Feng had even managed to save a little money for himself, though it wasn't much—just a few Gold Soul Coins. It'd be disastrous if he left and the academy blamed them afterward! Wang Feng waved them off, casually tossed the Gold Soul Coin aside, and said coolly, Wang Feng said grandly, "We're from Holy Soul Village. Never heard of it? You two good-for-nothings have offended our village. You won't be able to show your faces in Notting City again!" After he finished, the guard tossed the proof onto the ground and glanced at it disdainfully. Tang San thought to himself. His mind was full of question marks. With that accusation hanging over them, the two exchanged a glance and gritted their teeth. Each pulled out a few Silver Soul Coins and offered them to Wang Feng, their voices low and ingratiating. Compared with all the buildings Wang Feng had seen in his previous life, it was nothing special. No wonder so many people wanted to be rich. There was nothing like using money to crush someone—it felt great! The two lowly guards were so frightened that their faces went pale. After looking at the proof, one of the guards chuckled. "Is that so?" At the center of the archway were four large characters: "Notting Academy." "Haha! Innate Full Soul Power, and with Blue Silver Grass as your spirit? What a fake! Innate Full Soul Power only appears once in a century. I've been working here for years, and even among the children of noble lords, not one has had it. And a poor little village like yours produced someone with Innate Full Soul Power?" At that moment, Old Jack led the two children to the Junior Spirit Master Academy. And then Wang Feng continued loudly:
