Afterwards, Flender took Hu Liena and Ma Hongjun to the Shrek Academy's Academic Affairs Office and personally registered them.
Ma Hongjun, using the Grandmaster of "master" that Flender had mentioned, began to subtly question Flender. At first, Flender only gave a few casual answers, but seeing that Ma Hongjun was asking a lot of questions and constantly steer the conversation towards Hu Liena's background, the shrewd businessman suspected that Ma Hongjun might have fallen for Hu Liena.
Without a doubt, Hu Liena was indeed the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life. Even his goddess, Liu Erlong, the woman he loved most in his life, might be a little less charming than Hu Liena. Hu Liena's Martial Soul was a fox, which naturally possessed allure. It was only natural for Ma Hongjun to be moved when he saw such a stunningly beautiful female Soul Master after just leaving his small village.
If his disciple could win the heart of Bibi Dong's disciple, then Shrek Academy would truly have a backer Bibi Dong, a Titled Douluo- level figure. Bibi Dong's own pet had been eaten by her own pet pig, and he could be said to have avenged some of Liu Erlong's grievances.
Flender chuckled, "Hongjun, Hu Liena doesn't have much of a background. She studied at the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, but Hu Liena's teacher is an extremely powerful Soul Master. If you want to gain her approval, you'll have to cultivate very diligently."
Ma Hongjun's pupils widened slightly as one thought after another collided in his mind. Several guesses arose in his heart. Needless to say, Hu Liena's teacher, that extremely powerful Soul Master, must be Bibi Dong.
Of all the Spirit Hall, only Bibi Dong had a deep and abiding affection for Yu Xiaogang. During the final moments of the Battle of Jialing Pass, Bibi Dong confessed her love to Yu Xiaogang before her death, and he was one of the spectators.
But why did Bibi Dong send Hu Liena to the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy?
Ma Hongjun quickly came to a startling conclusion: Bibi Dong might have also been reborn.
Upon receiving this answer, Ma Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his muscles and bones relax. Bibi Dong's rebirth was wonderful!
Judging from Bibi Dong's actions, sending Hu Liena to Yu Xiaogang's care was probably to ease tensions. Bibi Dong still has deep feelings for Yu Xiaogang, which means that as long as Yu Xiaogang is involved, Bibi Dong might be on her side.
Pope the Spirit Hall is one of our own, then this rebirth is some incredibly simple challenge, practically nonexistent. There's almost no danger.
The timing for the Spirit Hall Soul Master to perform Martial Soul Awakening for the people of the entire continent is specific, depending on the Spirit Hall steward's stamina and how long it takes to travel to the villages he needs to visit.
Holy Soul Village.
Not long ago, Su Yuntao had awakened the Martial Soul of all the six-year-old children in Holy Soul Village, and then issued a work-study certificate to a child Tang San, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power.
Old Jack led Tang San into the blacksmith shop to find Tang Hao, informing him that Tang San Tang Hao Innate Full Soul Power and that he wanted Tang San to become a Soul Master.
Old Jack, his face beaming with pride for Tang San, said, "Although it's Blue Silver Grass, Little San has Innate Full Soul Power. Tang Hao, I've decided, this year's work-study student spot in the village will go to Little San. He can go to the Nuoding City Primary Soul Master Academy to study. The village will cover his travel expenses."
"Blue Silver Grass, Blue Silver Grass." Tang Hao murmured a couple of times, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes revealing a resolute light that Tang San had never seen before, and said in a deep voice, "No."
"What did you say? Did I hear that right?" Jack picked at his ear, looking at Tang Hao in surprise.
Tang San knew that Old Jack would definitely start arguing, and he also knew that after revealing his Second Martial Soul, his father would make him a Soul Master. So he quickly said, "Grandpa Jack, I'll listen to Dad. I still won't learn the abilities of Soul Master. Dad is right, Blue Silver Grass is just Trash Martial Soul. Thank you for your kindness."
"You mistress..."
Old Jack felt a pang of sympathy for Tang San's obedient attitude towards Tang Hao and was about to continue arguing.
Tang Hao, looking rather lazy, said, "Didn't you hear that? Little San doesn't want to become a Soul Master either. Hurry up and leave."
Helpless, Old Jack had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, he said, "Tang Hao, your life is over. But Xiao San is still young. Don't you think you should give him a way to make a living? Don't hold him back. If he becomes Soul Master, at least he won't end up as destitute as you. If you change your mind, come find me. There are still three months until the registration deadline for this year's Notting Soul Master Elementary Academy."
Tang Hao sat in a chair with his eyes closed, resting. Sensing Tang San approaching, he remained with his eyes still closed and said calmly, "Are you also feeling disappointed? Do you also want to become Soul Master?"
"It's alright, Dad. Becoming a blacksmith is fine too; it can support us just the same. Didn't you promise to teach me how to make farm tools?"
Tang San used the same excuse as in his previous life, and then asked, "Dad, how many Martial Soul does a person actually have?"
Tang Hao had originally intended to have Tang San summon his Martial Soul for him to see, but upon hearing Tang San's question, a hint of doubt crossed his mind, and he asked, "Don't you know best how many Martial Soul you have?"
Tang San said, "I noticed that the children in the village who have awakened their Martial Soul all seem to have only one Martial Soul, but I seem to have a second Martial Soul."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze incredibly bright. He looked at Tang San, his tone filled with excitement and disbelief, "You have two Martial Soul. Summon your Second Martial Soul for Dad to see."
Tang San raised his left hand, and a faint black light burst forth from his palm. The light instantly condensed, and a strange object appeared in his palm.
It was a completely black hammer with a handle about half a foot long and a cylindrical head. It looked like a miniature casting hammer, but there was a special luster on the black surface of the hammer, and a faint pattern was wrapped around the cylindrical head.
Looking at the small black hammer, Tang Hao's eyes widened with extreme excitement, seemingly glistening with tears. "Twin Martial Souls! It's actually Twin Martial Souls! My son, my son!"
Suddenly, Tang Hao opened his strong arms and pulled Tang San into a tight embrace.
Although Tang Hao's arms were tainted with the unmistakable smell of cheap ale from his nightly drinking sessions, Tang San, nestled in his arms, felt no disgust. On the contrary, he was extremely happy. Since the end of the Elite Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition, when Tang Hao intervened and shocked the Spirit Hall, rescuing him and Xiao Wu, and the subsequent hug during their conversation, Tang San hadn't been hugged by Tang Hao for decades.
"Dad's embrace is still so broad and warm."
