On this day, Village Chief Jack brought Tang San, who had already packed his luggage, to your doorstep. By this time, Jiang Huai had already placed Jiang Ling into the sword box and strapped it to his back.
Jiang Huai opened the door, the sword box resting on his back, and said, "Grandpa Jack."
Village Chief Jack nodded and said, "Let's go. I will take you both to Nuoding City to enroll in the Junior Soul Master Academy."
Jiang Huai nodded and placed his luggage into the belt-style storage Soul Tool. Seeing this, Tang San also wanted to ask Jiang Huai to help him store his things, but he didn't know how to bring it up.
Seeing Tang San carrying such a large amount of luggage, Jiang Huai chuckled and said, "San, let me carry that for you."
Upon hearing this, Tang San awkwardly placed his bundle against Jiang Huai's waist. As soon as it touched the belt, the large bundle was sucked right in.
Village Chief Jack smiled and said, "Let's go."
Soon, the three of them walked toward Nuoding City. Outside the city, there lived some non-aggressive soul beasts called "Milk-flavored Soft-tendon Beasts." Their bodies were extremely soft, and their color was a milky white, much like cheese.
Just as the three of them entered the city, a Milk-flavored Soft-tendon Beast bit onto Jiang Huai's clothes. Jiang Huai stopped in his tracks, feeling the tug, and looked back at the yellowish-tinged Milk-flavored Soft-tendon Beast.
Tang San and Village Chief Jack turned around to see this dramatic scene. Jiang Huai pulled at his clothes, trying to break free, but the Milk-flavored Soft-tendon Beast refused to let go.
After a long tug-of-war, Jiang Huai finally compromised. He brought the Milk-flavored Soft-tendon Beast along with him toward the Junior Soul Master Academy in Nuoding City.
However, the Milk-flavored Soft-tendon Beast became unhappy and floated directly in front of Jiang Huai. It pressed its head against Jiang Huai's forehead, and suddenly, Jiang Huai's Hamburger martial soul appeared, along with a yellow soul ring beneath his feet.
Tang San and Village Chief Jack's mouths twitched at the sight. Damn it, are soul rings really that easy to obtain?
Soon, the three arrived at an iron gate. The gatekeeper had spotted them long ago, and seeing the trio approaching, he immediately stood up and made a move to close the gate.
Jiang Huai's cold gaze swept over him. The gatekeeper's body trembled, and he halted his movement. Purple light particles began to swirl in Tang San's eyes.
The three of you walked up to the gatekeeper. Village Chief Jack smiled and said, "Young man, we are from Holy Soul Village. These two children are the work-study students from our village this year. Could you tell us what procedures we need to follow?"
Hearing this, the gatekeeper let out a sigh of relief, but then his eyes rolled as he decided to play a prank.
When entering the city, Jiang Huai had placed the sword box into his storage Soul Tool, leaving only his sword hanging at his waist with his right hand resting on the hilt.
Jiang Huai closed his eyes; he already knew what was about to happen. He waited quietly for this damn gatekeeper to blather on.
Sure enough, the gatekeeper said to Jack, "Old thing, what kind of place is Holy Soul Village? Never heard of it. Our academy hasn't had any work-study students in a long time. Can't you come up with a better trick, old man?"
Hearing this, Jack's smile stiffened, and his expression changed drastically. "We have the soul master credentials. These were issued by the Lord Soul Master of the Martial Soul Hall."
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper picked up the credentials, glanced at them, threw them on the ground, and stepped on them, grinding his foot into them disrespectfully.
The sharp sword intent on Jiang Huai's body was becoming hard to contain. Tang San knew well that if Jiang Huai acted, this person would either be dead or severely injured.
Thus, Tang San recalled the Tang Sect Mental Method. He channeled his energy into his Mysterious Jade Hand and pushed his palm forward.
The gatekeeper was sent flying by the strike, crashing through the already-closed gate. The gatekeeper spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up angrily. He raised his fist and charged at Tang San, intending to strike.
Seeing this, Jiang Huai gripped his sword hilt, the blade already unsheathed, radiating a biting chill.
Suddenly, a middle-aged voice called out, "Enough!"
Hearing this, the gatekeeper looked over and his expression changed in an instant. "Oh, isn't this Master? Are you here to enter the academy?"
The person who arrived was none other than Yu Xiaogang, who wore his hair in a flat top. Yu Xiaogang walked up to Jack and said, "Old gentleman, may I see the soul master credentials of these two children?"
Hearing this, Village Chief Jack squatted down and kicked the trampled credentials up. He handed both sets of credentials to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang examined the credentials carefully, one by one. When he saw that Tang San's introduction listed Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power, he was instantly shocked.
Yu Xiaogang picked up the other one and was even more shocked. Although Yu Xiaogang didn't know what a Hamburger martial soul was, it was clearly a food-type martial soul. Combined with the Innate Full Soul Power, Yu Xiaogang muttered, "A genius! A genius! This is a genius among geniuses!"
Yu Xiaogang glanced at Jiang Huai and was suddenly stunned. He caught sight of Jiang Huai's belt and froze. He saw the character "Jiang" and immediately thought of that place.
Yu Xiaogang calmed down; he knew he was no longer qualified to take Jiang Huai as a disciple. He had already guessed Jiang Huai's background.
He said to the gatekeeper, "This is the first and last time. If there is a next time, you won't need to work here anymore."
Yu Xiaogang said to Jack, "Old gentleman, leave these two little friends to me. I will take them to handle the enrollment."
Jack nodded and said, "Alright, thank you, Lord. Xiao Huai, Xiao San, don't be naughty at the academy."
Jiang Huai turned back and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief."
Soon, Jiang Huai and Tang San were led into the academy by Yu Xiaogang. Jiang Huai looked around as they walked.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang introduced, "That is the teaching building where you will attend classes in the future. That is the administrative office, where we are going now. And there is the dormitory building, where you will live."
Although Yu Xiaogang could not take Jiang Huai as a disciple, he still intended to teach him about soul beasts.
Yu Xiaogang brought you into the administrative office and said to the teacher inside, "Please handle the enrollment for these two children."
The teacher inside nodded and took the list of work-study students. A female teacher wearing glasses read, "Jiang Huai, martial soul Hamburger, food system, Innate Full Soul Power!"
The bespectacled teacher widened her eyes and said, "You are actually a food-system soul master with Innate Full Soul Power? There isn't a single food-system soul master with Innate Full Soul Power in the entire continent, yet you are one!"
Hearing this, Jiang Huai nodded and asked, "Teacher, when can we enroll?"
The bespectacled teacher smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I will handle your enrollment procedures right now."
The bespectacled teacher looked at Tang San's soul master file and read, "Tang San, martial soul Blue Silver Grass, control system, Innate Full Soul Power!"
She said in shock, "You are also Innate Full Soul Power!"
Tang San nodded and said innocently, "Yes."
The woman said, "Today is truly strange. Three work-study students with Innate Full Soul Power have appeared in a single day."
The woman turned around and began writing something. Once finished, she handed two slips of paper to Jiang Huai and Tang San, saying, "These are your class and dormitory assignments, and this is a map of the school. Follow it to find your way."
Tang San glanced at the paper and told Jiang Huai, "Jiang Huai, I've been assigned to the working student dormitory, Room 6. How about you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huai looked at his own paper and said, "I've been assigned to Room 7. Xiao San, check your class."
Hearing this, Tang San replied, "First Grade, Class 3."
Jiang Huai laughed and said, "I'm in First Grade, Class 3 as well."
