Yu Xiaogang Had Earned a Death Wish Too?

Tang San still wasn't willing to admit it.

Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment. He wasn't angry; instead, the corner of his stiff face twitched, as if he'd revealed a smile that said he saw right through everything.

These brothers were both so sharp!

Excellent! They were exactly the kind of disciples Yu Xiaogang deserved!

At Tang San's denial, Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back and lifted his chin slightly, wearing an air of pride and confidence.

"You don't need to rush to deny it. I, Yu Xiaogang, have spent years studying Martial Soul Theory, and I came up with the 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.'"

"One of them states that Innate Soul Power is directly proportional to the quality of a Martial Soul."

"Blue Silver Grass is a standard Trash Martial Soul. That's common knowledge in the Soul Master World."

"I've studied 647 cases involving people with Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls. Only sixteen of them had Soul Power, and none of those sixteen had more than one rank."

"But you, Tang San, have Innate Full Soul Power—ten ranks. There's no way a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could possess that much innate Soul Power."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang confidently arrived at his conclusion.

"So, according to my theory, there's only one truth!"

"You must have another, exceptionally high-quality Second Martial Soul! That powerful Second Martial Soul raised your innate Soul Power, allowing you to reach the level of full Soul Power!"

Hearing this, Tang San was suddenly uncertain.

This Grandmaster's words sounded logically sound, and he had cited evidence.

It seemed... to make a lot of sense?

Seeing Tang San's expression change beside him, as if he'd really been taken in, Tang Yin's mouth twitched. He was utterly speechless.

Seriously, little brother!

You actually believe him?

Hadn't we already gone to see Mom? Didn't we know that she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast?

Knowing that, how could you still think your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was ordinary Blue Silver Grass?

Gangzi was taking his theory—which was full of holes—and applying information about ordinary Blue Silver Grass to your Blue Silver Emperor, and you were still taken in?

Looks like I really need to give you a proper remedial education!

Just as Tang San was left wavering by Yu Xiaogang's "professional" explanation, and Yu Xiaogang was secretly pleased, thinking he'd cowed the two boys, Tang Yin suddenly spoke up with feigned curiosity.

"Grandmaster, then according to your theory, how would you explain my 'White Jade Hand' Martial Soul?"

"It has Innate Full Soul Power too!"

"Uh..."

The self-satisfied look on Yu Xiaogang's face froze. He felt a headache coming on.

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was easy enough to explain.

After all, he had studied so much information about Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls.

He could just bring it up, and that would be enough to impress anyone.

But this White Jade Hand Martial Soul was like his own Luo Sanpao.

It was clearly an extremely rare mutation!

What was he supposed to say?

Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment, his mind racing. Soon, he wore a confident, certain expression.

"According to one of the 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul,' Martial Souls are divided into Beast Martial Souls and Tool Martial Souls."

"A Tool Martial Soul can be used as a weapon, while a Beast Martial Soul can possess its user and strengthen them."

"Your 'White Jade Hand' can't be used as a weapon, nor does it show the traits of a Beast Martial Soul possessing its user. It's obviously an inferior mutation—a Trash Martial Soul!"

"So, by the same logic, you must also have a powerful Second Martial Soul! It's this unknown Second Martial Soul that gave you brothers the talent of Innate Full Soul Power!"

But at that, Tang San's expression changed at once. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he began panting like an ox.

Trash Martial Soul? Inferior mutation?

Big Brother's Mysterious Jade Hand had come from my Tang Sect Secret Arts, the Mysterious Jade Hand. Of course it had Innate Full Soul Power!

What do you mean, an inferior mutation—a Trash Martial Soul?!

That damn flat-top dared to insult Big Brother and blaspheme my Tang Sect Secret Arts!

He had well and truly earned a death wish!

If Tang San had had a Hidden Weapon in his hand, he would probably have killed Yu Xiaogang on the spot!

Tang San had been taken in at first.

But when he heard Yu Xiaogang's judgment of Tang Yin's Mysterious Jade Hand Martial Soul, his intelligence immediately took the high ground.

For a moment, Tang San suppressed his anger and killing intent, clenched his fists, and spoke in a cold voice. His attitude changed completely, and he addressed Yu Xiaogang with distance.

"Teacher, I think you've guessed wrong."

"My big brother and I don't have Twin Martial Souls!"

"It's getting late, and we still need to register."

"If you don't mind, please take us there."

"If it's inconvenient, just tell us where it is, and we can find it ourselves."

Yu Xiaogang had been rather pleased with himself, thinking he'd figured out that Tang Yin's Mysterious Jade Hand Martial Soul meant he had Twin Martial Souls.

But he hadn't expected Tang San's attitude to change so suddenly.

Yu Xiaogang was completely bewildered.

When Tang San coldly insisted that neither he nor his big brother, Tang Yin, had Twin Martial Souls, Yu Xiaogang even began to doubt himself.

Had he really guessed wrong?

But that was impossible! His theoretical deduction made sense. It couldn't be wrong!

For a moment, Yu Xiaogang felt awkward. He gave a few dry coughs and said, "The Academic Affairs Office is on the first floor of that teaching building up ahead. Follow me."

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Academic Affairs Office.

After pointing out that they should register with Director Su, Yu Xiaogang took his leave, pretending to be calm.

Tang Yin led Tang San over to Director Su.

After showing their work-study student certificates, they each completed their registration.

When Director Su and the other teachers in the office discovered that both Tang Yin and Tang San had Innate Full Soul Power, they were all stunned.

"Blue Silver Grass, with Innate Full Soul Power?"

"White Jade Hand? A mutated hand Martial Soul—and it can have Innate Full Soul Power?!"

"What a shame. What a waste! One has Blue Silver Grass, and the other has a mutated hand Martial Soul... If only they'd had powerful Beast Martial Souls or Tool Martial Souls instead!"

The teachers talked among themselves, astonished by how rare Innate Full Soul Power was and deeply regretting the quality of the brothers' Martial Souls.

Still, Innate Full Soul Power was Innate Full Soul Power.

No matter how poor their Martial Souls were, their future cultivation speed would far surpass that of ordinary Soul Masters. They still had a good chance of reaching the Soul Elder or Soul Ancestor level.

So Director Su treated Tang Yin and Tang San very kindly. He quickly completed their enrollment registration, then handed the brothers two sets of academy uniforms and toiletries.

"These are your uniforms, along with your toiletries."

"A teacher will come by later to assign your work-study duties."

"Your dormitory is Dorm Seven."

But after taking the toiletries and uniforms,

as a transmigrator, Tang Yin knew

the Soul Master Academy would help students obtain Soul Rings for free.

But they had to apply first!

So Tang Yin asked with feigned curiosity, "Director Su, there's something else I'd like to ask."

"My younger brother and I both have Innate Full Soul Power, and we've already reached rank ten."

"I heard the academy can help students apply to obtain their First Soul Ring. How do we go about that? Can we apply now?"

Director Su and the other teachers were taken aback once again, then suddenly understood.

Right! With Innate Full Soul Power, they only needed a Soul Ring to become official Soul Masters.

They'd been so busy marveling at the boys' Martial Souls that they'd forgotten about that.

Director Su's smile grew even brighter, and he looked at Tang Yin with approval.

This child had not only excellent talent but also a clear head. He knew to ask for the resources he needed.

He nodded readily.

"Of course! This is the kind of support the academy should provide for outstanding students."

"Here, I'll go take care of the application for you now and arrange for a teacher to take you to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain suitable Soul Rings as soon as possible."

"With your talent for Innate Full Soul Power, even if your Martial Souls... Ahem, your future achievements will certainly be extraordinary. The academy should support you!"
