After getting the proof of Martial Soul Awakening, Great God King Tang was in an extraordinarily good mood. Tomorrow, Old Jack would take him to enroll at Nuoding Academy, and he would get to see his Xiao Wu.
Hello, is this Dorm Seven?
My name is Xiao Wu. Wu, as in dancing.
My Martial Soul is a rabbit, the really cute kind.
Thinking of the things Xiao Wu had said when they first met, Tang San grew incredibly excited.
He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. Then he secretly took the little savings his family had and went into the city in the middle of the night to buy a whole lot of carrots.
He remembered that Xiao Wu loved carrots most of all, especially his, Tang San's, carrots.
As for a quilt, his teacher, Grandmaster, would give him one.
But hopefully his teacher would give him a small one. Then, when Xiao Wu and he squeezed under the same quilt, they could... Heh heh heh.
Tang San had never felt that the night was so long. Why hadn't the sun come up yet? If it didn't rise sooner, how was he supposed to see his Xiao Wu sooner?
That damn sun! How dare it delay his meeting with Xiao Wu? It had a death wish.
At long last, it was morning. Tang San immediately got up, picked up his things, and waited at the door for Old Jack to take him to school.
But Tang San waited and waited, and Old Jack still didn't come.
Why, you old Jack! How dare you delay my meeting with Xiao Wu? You have a death wish.
Finally, Old Jack came slowly toward Tang San from the distance, leaning on his cane.
"Xiao San, you're ready to go to school so early? You've got a real eagerness to learn," Old Jack said with satisfaction as he looked at Tang San standing by the door.
"Grandpa Jack, let's hurry!"
As he spoke, Tang San grabbed Old Jack without giving him a chance to object and took off running toward Nuoding Academy.
"Xiao San, there's no need to hurry. Ow..."
Before he could finish, Old Jack felt as if he'd learned Teleportation, his body shooting straight forward.
Tang San pulled Old Jack all the way to Nuoding Academy. Seeing the Nuoding Academy he hadn't visited in so long, and thinking of his Xiao Wu, whom he hadn't seen in so long, Tang San felt absolutely wonderful.
Old Jack, meanwhile, was gasping for breath, panting and wheezing.
Tang San was just about to go inside when the academy's gatekeeper stopped him. "You're not properly dressed. We can't let you in."
Old Jack immediately stepped forward. "We're here to enroll. This is the proof of Martial Soul Awakening issued by Spirit Hall."
"Enroll? This is a Soul Master Academy, not a place just any stray cat or dog can enter." The gatekeeper looked again at Old Jack and Tang San, both of them dressed in rags.
Still, to be cautious, the gatekeeper took the proof of Martial Soul Awakening from Old Jack. "Blue Silver Grass, but Innate Full Soul Power? How could someone with the Trash Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass have Innate Full Soul Power? Old man, this proof isn't fake, is it?"
"Of course not! It was personally issued by Master Su Yuntao of Spirit Hall!"
Meanwhile, Tang San raised his Hidden Sleeve Arrow, ready to kill the gatekeeper.
In my previous life, you already had a death wish. I can't believe you have one again in this life.
"What's going on? Making a racket at the academy entrance—what kind of behavior is that?"
Someone came out of the academy and spoke when he saw the scene before him.
As soon as Tang San saw him, he thought, Isn't that my teacher, the theoretically unrivaled Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang?
Yu Xiaogang took Tang San's proof of Martial Soul Awakening and glanced at it. His pupils immediately widened.
Blue Silver Grass, Innate Full Soul Power. This is the perfect test subject to prove my theories.
Then he scolded the gatekeeper. "This proof was issued by Spirit Hall. It's genuine. You gatekeeper are truly blind to who you're dealing with. If you do this again, I'll go to the dean and have you fired."
"I'm sorry, Grandmaster. I won't do it again."
Yu Xiaogang ignored the gatekeeper and said to Tang San, "Child, come with me."
Tang San followed Yu Xiaogang at once, without even sparing Old Jack a thought as he remained at the entrance.
"Everyone calls you Grandmaster. Are you a teacher at this academy?"
"No. I'm just someone who mooches food and lodging here."
"By the way, your name is Tang San, right? If I'm not mistaken, you should have Twin Martial Souls."
"That's right."
Seriously, why did you tell me that without any hesitation? Now how am I supposed to show off my theoretical expertise? How am I supposed to fool you?
But who was Grandmaster? Surely a little thing like that wouldn't stump him.
"You must be wondering how I figured it out, right?"
This time, Tang San didn't say anything, because he knew Grandmaster was about to show off.
"I've studied many children with Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls, but they had no Soul Power. You, however, have Innate Full Soul Power..."
"..."
"So I concluded that you have Twin Martial Souls."
"Perhaps you still don't know who I am."
"I'm a senior researcher of Martial Soul Theory, the originator of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul. People call me Grandmaster."
"So, are you willing to take me as your teacher?"
"I am."
After saying this, Tang San stepped back, then dropped to both knees and kowtowed to Grandmaster three times, each thud ringing out clearly.
"Once a teacher, a teacher for life. From now on, you're my teacher."
Grandmaster smiled with satisfaction and hurriedly helped Tang San up. "Silly child, why kowtow when you take someone as your teacher? That's a courtesy for meeting a king or your parents. You only need to bow when taking a teacher."
Tang Hao, secretly protecting Tang San, couldn't help shaking his head when he saw his son take that useless Yu Xiaogang as his teacher. But then he thought of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind Yu Xiaogang and nodded.
Next, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang took Tang San to the academic affairs office to complete his enrollment. But when the teachers there heard that Tang San, a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, had taken Yu Xiaogang as his teacher, they couldn't help laughing.
Yu Xiaogang seemed to have long since grown used to it.
At that moment, one of the teachers seemed to feel that this was inappropriate. He stood up and said to Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, "We've all had special training. Under normal circumstances, we don't laugh—unless we just can't help it." Then he started laughing again.
Looking at everyone there, Tang San thought, You dare mock us? You have a death wish. Go ahead and laugh, you fools. You have no idea how formidable my teacher is.
Once Tang San had finished enrolling, he rushed to Dorm Seven, unable to wait another moment, because his Xiao Wu was there.
At that moment, Zhang Zhuan and Yang He, who had been keeping an eye on Xiao Wu in Dorm Seven, had already been called back to the Spirit Hall in Nuoding City by Qian Renyu.
The moment Tang San entered Dorm Seven, he tripped over something and nearly fell.
He kicked it hard. What kind of thing dared to get in the way of his seeing Xiao Wu?
But Tang San looked left and right, searching every corner, and still couldn't find Xiao Wu. He hurriedly shouted at the people in Dorm Seven, "Have you seen my Xiao Wu?"
At that, everyone in Dorm Seven pointed at the floor. Tang San looked where they were pointing.
What kind of thing was this? Its whole body was wrapped in bandages, with only a rabbit ear sticking out.
Rabbit ears. Could it be—
Tang San hurried over and took a look. It really was his Xiao Wu!
Who did this? I'm going to kill them!
After hearing what had happened from the people in Dorm Seven, Tang San flew into a rage. "Ren Yu, I'm going to kill you!"
Tang San carried Xiao Wu from the floor to his bed, then took the carrots he had prepared earlier out of his bag and fed them to her.
Just then, someone kind in Dorm Seven reminded him, "I don't think Xiao Wu likes carrots. She likes eating Soft Bone Rabbit. She ate five of them last time."
Tang San was puzzled by this. Soft Bone Rabbits were Xiao Wu's descendants. How could she possibly eat them?
But who cared? Since his Xiao Wu liked them, she could eat them.
Tang San immediately ran out and bought a pile of charcoal-grilled Soft Bone Rabbits, then headed back to Xiao Wu.
