"You can't just call someone 'teacher' like that." Tang San had come to this conclusion only after careful consideration.

The middle-aged man glanced sidelong at the certificate and smiled faintly. "Still, Innate Full Soul Power and a Green Lotus Flower Martial Soul? I've never heard of a Green Lotus Flower Martial Soul. How could a plant-type Martial Soul have Innate Full Soul Power? Could it be Twin Martial Souls, like that other child with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?"

"I'm not a teacher. I'm just an idler at the academy. You can call me Grandmaster. That's what everyone else calls me..." Tang San said slowly. "Would you be willing to teach me how to cultivate my Martial Spirit?"

"No! You definitely have the ability!" After a moment's silence, Tang San suddenly said solemnly, "I would like to call you my teacher!"

Old Jack looked at the middle-aged man. Though his appearance was ordinary and he wore a simple, plain gray robe, he had a distinctive air about him. He was probably an important figure at the academy, so Old Jack hurriedly waved his hands. "Me?"

After all, he'd forgotten most of what happened in Douluo Continent. He only remembered the general story and the characters. Yet this child had directly refused him, and even offered him a Gold Soul Coin.

Honestly, if Grandmaster had figured out Tang San's Twin Martial Souls through analysis...

"Just because you could tell I have Twin Martial Souls... I think there isn't a single teacher at the Junior Spirit Master Academy who could see that."

The middle-aged man slowly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "How did you figure that out?"

Tang San studied the middle-aged man carefully. Seeing the two guards acting so timidly, he seemed to understand, yet not quite. Could Brother Feng really have another Martial Spirit?

Wang Feng studied Grandmaster, while Grandmaster was studying Wang Feng as well.

Could he really have deduced the reason Wang Feng had seen through his Twin Martial Souls?

The two guards were even more deferential now, not daring to say another word.

As expected, this middle-aged man was probably Grandmaster, whose full name was Yu Xiaogang, a person of immense importance to Xiao San in Douluo Continent.

"Sorry for the trouble, teacher," Tang San said.

He was also Xiao San's teacher for the rest of his life.

Wang Feng had only seen Grandmaster glance at the certificates a couple of times, so he'd guessed.

Old Jack hurriedly nodded. "Then I'll leave them in your hands."

Wang Feng pointed at the certificate in his hand and said mildly, "You must have gotten curious when you saw that two Trash Martial Souls could have Innate Full Soul Power. That's probably how you figured it out, right? As for how you reached that conclusion, I have no idea."

Who still remembered every detail of a novel years after reading it?

So Grandmaster had probably just made an educated guess by comparing the two.

It was like offering both a stick and a carrot—he'd won over the two guards.

What a perceptive gaze.

As for the so-called Green Lotus Flower Martial Soul, when Su Yuntao had filled out the certificate, he'd told Wang Feng to come up with a name for it, since it was some unknown kind of flower.

At the time, Wang Feng had pretended to hesitate, as though he couldn't think of a name.

In the end, the two guards had wanted to give the two children a Silver Soul Coin each.

Wang Feng had originally been about to step in and help the three of them out of their predicament.

Only his father knew about his Twin Martial Souls.

After speaking, the middle-aged man gave the two guards a cold glance.

This child...

Grandmaster smiled and waved his hand. "Oh? Why?"

Tang San thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Because only someone truly impressive could deserve the title of Grandmaster. And you can even speak for the academy, which means you must have a high standing here."

This little guy was sharp! He'd noticed such subtle details?

"You've come to enroll at the academy, haven't you? Leave these two children to me. I'll take them inside."

As he spoke, a glint flashed in Grandmaster's eyes. "And you have Twin Martial Souls. Your future is boundless. I'm just an idler who freeloads at the academy. I don't have what it takes to be your teacher..."

He was a transmigrator who'd read Douluo Continent. With the advantage of knowing what was coming, he knew Xiao San had Twin Martial Souls.

He just remembered the scenes where people showed off, the pretty girls, and the ridiculously powerful Martial Spirits.

How could he know something like that?

Wang Feng rubbed his head. Sure enough, the course of history and the pull of fate meant Tang San and Grandmaster were bound to meet.

After giving them a few reminders, Old Jack left.

Wang Feng couldn't remember.

Tang San looked at Brother Feng in astonishment.

As for Xiao San, the man would be important to him in the early part of his life.

Grandmaster smiled. "You have Innate Full Soul Power... and you're also..."

"I guessed it was because you looked at the certificate."

The child, who looked only six years old, was astonishingly clever.

Just for that, Tang San could tell this Grandmaster was no ordinary person!

He'd said it so earnestly that he might not even have realized he was flattering him. That was what made it so impressive.

And, as it turned out, he'd guessed right.

Wang Feng smiled.

"No, there's no need. They've already apologized."

But thinking it over, perhaps he just hadn't slept well in the past few days and his mind was playing tricks on him. How could a child possibly see through him?

He'd actually noticed that scene much earlier.

He really did have another humanoid Martial Spirit, but even he didn't know about it.

Wang Feng and Tang San followed Grandmaster inside.

Grandmaster smiled again. "All right, all right... You're the first person in all these years who's been willing to become my disciple. Very well, I'll be stubborn for once too! Your name is Tang San, right? Do you know how I could tell you had Twin Martial Souls?"

The mysterious middle-aged man had seen right through him with just a few words. It was incredible!

Grandmaster suddenly looked at Wang Feng. "I wonder, little fellow, who also has Twin Martial Souls—do you know?"

The child's gaze put a strange pressure on him, as if it could see right through him.

"Three of you, wait. The academy was in the wrong. On behalf of the academy, I apologize to you again."

Tang San was astonished.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man burst into laughter.

"Not a teacher?" Tang San said, taken aback. Then he quickly added, "Then you must be an incredible person!"

Grandmaster wondered to himself.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Grandmaster asked curiously.

Wang Feng really didn't know how he'd figured it out.

Su Yuntao had naturally agreed as well.

He handled things with the smoothness of someone in his twenties or thirties.

Had he really only glanced at the certificates a couple of times?
