Yu Xiaogang had just been ready to receive the child's admiring gaze, but when he heard Jiang Liang's words, the expression on his face instantly cracked.
Trash Grandmaster?
Level twenty-nine at fifty years old?
Every word in those remarks was like a knife stabbing into his heart!
Yu Xiaogang was so furious that he nearly ground his teeth to pieces.
He wanted to curse, but considering his status, he forcefully held back his anger.
"Child, what you said is highly ambiguous."
He took a deep breath and gave Jiang Liang a smile uglier than crying.
"As the saying goes, there are no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters."
"I, Yu Xiaogang, am indeed only level twenty-nine, but I have conducted extensive research into Martial Souls."
"As long as you are willing to take me as your master, I can use this theory to forge an unparalleled genius like you into one of the continent's top powerhouses!"
As he spoke, he raised a hand and pretentiously stroked the sparse beard on his chin.
He even deliberately tilted his head toward the sky, putting on the look of a profoundly learned man who was impossible to fathom.
Jiang Liang nodded slightly. "There are no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters? That's a good saying."
"Then, Grandmaster, are you a trash Martial Soul or a trash Soul Master?"
"One sentence that insults yourself twice—this theory truly is Number One in the World."
"You..."
Yu Xiaogang's pretentious pose of profundity completely shattered again, and his entire face flushed an ugly liver-red.
Several students and Instructors passing nearby all burst out laughing when they heard this.
This child was simply too amusing. It was their first time seeing someone render Yu Xiaogang speechless with his own famous saying.
And every sentence hit him right in the heart.
Jiang Liang spread his hands and smiled. "Sorry, Grandmaster, but I'm in a hurry. I don't have time to fool around with you."
"Besides, with your level twenty-nine strength, what do you think you can teach me, a level twenty-six Soul Grandmaster?"
"What? You're level twenty-six?" Yu Xiaogang's pupils suddenly trembled as he stared at the child in disbelief.
Wasn't this child only six years old, the age when one had just awakened a Martial Soul?
How could he already be level twenty-six?!
But before he could ask, Jiang Liang had already walked around him.
He did not even look back throughout the whole process.
That contemptuous attitude immediately enraged Yu Xiaogang.
He clenched his fists tightly and glared furiously at Jiang Liang's departing back.
Everyone looks down on me!
Now even a child dares to speak to me like this!
Just you wait. One day, I, Yu Xiaogang, will become the Number One Theory Master of Douluo Continent!
By then, even if you kneel and beg me, I won't spare you a glance!
Yu Xiaogang turned away resentfully and was about to leave when he heard an argument coming from the Gatekeeper's direction.
"What? Blue Silver Grass from Holy Soul Village? And Innate Full Soul Power? A golden Phoenix rose from a nest of weeds?"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately stopped and turned toward the academy gates.
A trash Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass?
And Innate Full Soul Power too!
Hahaha! As long as I take that child as my disciple, someone will be able to prove my theory!
Yu Xiaogang's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurried toward the gates.
Meanwhile, Jiang Liang had already arrived outside the Office for enrollment.
He saw that there were two people in the Office.
One was older, a Female Teacher wearing glasses.
The other wore a pink dress, with black hair tied into a Scorpion Braid that naturally hung down her back.
The moment he saw that appearance, he recognized her.
Who else could it be but that Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit?
Jiang Liang immediately smiled. So this little rabbit was here.
Just then, Sword Mother's voice suddenly sounded by his ear.
"Xiao Liang, that girl has the same aura as those Soul Beasts. Be careful."
Jiang Liang nodded lightly and smiled. "I know, Fairy Sister. She's no ordinary Soul Beast. She's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that took human form."
"So that girl is the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast you were looking for."
Only then did Sword Mother come to a realization.
Soul Beasts taking human form on this continent were somewhat like great demons taking human form.
But didn't she look rather small?
Did she even look six years old?
Jiang Liang straightened his collar, then walked inside and placed his Martial Soul certificate on the desk.
"Teacher, I'm here to enroll."
Hearing his voice, Xiao Wu, who was also handling her enrollment, looked up at him.
At first glance, she thought this boy was so tall—he was nearly a whole head taller than her.
Had he also just arrived at this academy?
Meanwhile, the Female Teacher did not look up. She merely swept an impatient glance over the Martial Soul certificate.
That one glance nearly made her eyes pop out.
"What? A level twenty-six Soul Grandmaster!"
"A Soul Grandmaster?"
Xiao Wu also looked utterly disbelieving as she lowered her head to look at Jiang Liang's Martial Soul certificate.
He really was level twenty-six!
What surprised her even more was that although the boy looked two or three years older than her, he was actually only six!
She had only just entered human society, but even she knew that six was the age when Martial Souls were first awakened.
Yet he had already possessed level twenty-six strength right after awakening his Martial Soul.
Wasn't this boy far too incredible?!
Could it be that he, like her, was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had taken human form?
Then how exactly had he cultivated?
After recovering from her excitement, the Female Teacher did not dare delay the important matter.
"Child, stay here and don't move. I'll report to the Principal now and try to arrange the best possible treatment for you."
With that, she hurried out of the Office, leaving only the two children behind.
Jiang Liang turned to Xiao Wu and greeted her with a smile. "Hello, my name is Jiang Liang. Liang as in kind-hearted."
"Hello, my name is Xiao Wu. Wu as in dancing." Out of politeness, Xiao Wu introduced herself as well.
After speaking, she cautiously glanced toward the Office door.
Only after confirming that no one was coming did she carefully lean close to Jiang Liang. "Hey, how did you cultivate so quickly?"
"I don't mean anything by it. I'm just curious."
She also wanted to quickly cultivate and grow stronger, then go to Spirit Hall and take revenge on that bad woman for her mother.
Jiang Liang spread his hands and replied with a smile, "Maybe I'm exceptionally gifted. I was simply born to cultivate faster than others."
Xiao Wu's eyes immediately widened, and her mouth fell open in surprise.
"Could it be that you're also..."
Jiang Liang widened his eyes. "Oh? Don't tell me you are too..."
Xiao Wu immediately nodded excitedly again and again.
Wonderful! She had just left the Star Dou Forest and already encountered one of her own kind!
And he was even a boy whose age after taking human form was close to hers!
As the saying went, when fellow villagers met, tears filled their eyes.
With tears welling in her eyes, Xiao Wu directly jumped onto Jiang Liang and began to cry.
"Wuwuwu! I thought I was the only one all alone in the human world, but I never expected to meet someone of my own kind!"
"Me too."
Jiang Liang held back his laughter and gently patted Xiao Wu's back.
Little rabbit, easily handled.
Xiao Wu raised a hand to wipe away her tears, then jumped down from him.
"Fellow villager, how did you come here?"
"As for me, that's a long story." Jiang Liang chuckled.
