After getting to his feet, Tang San turned to look at Zhang Tianyu,
When he saw that Zhang Tianyu was some distance away, the wariness in his eyes immediately vanished.
If Zhang Tianyu heard the secret of my Twin Martial Souls, then he'd be on the Way of Seeking Death! Tang San thought. He only has a Wooden Sword Martial Soul and a measly three levels of Soul Power. Taking his life would be a piece of cake!
Seeing such a promising young talent successfully fooled by him, Yu Xiaogang wore no expression, but inside he was laughing like mad,
At that moment,
The fury he'd felt over someone sticking a piece of paper saying "I'm a dumbass" to his back had completely dissipated,
His eyes glinted as he looked at Tang San. This time, I'll prove to everyone that my theories are correct!
As for Zhang Tianyu, who was standing a short distance away, Yu Xiaogang hadn't spared him a second glance from beginning to end,
A mere Wooden Sword Martial Soul with only three levels of Soul Power. He was sure to amount to nothing,
It was true that he'd said, "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters," but anyone who believed that was a dumbass.
The Academic Affairs Office.
Yu Xiaogang placed the proof on the desk and said to the older teacher, "Director Su, these two are work-study students who arrived this year. Sorry for the trouble, but could you register them for me?"
Director Su beamed. "Grandmaster, what brings you here? You're a rare guest! Why not sit for a while?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said to Tang San, "Register yourself here. These teachers will tell you what to do. I'll be going now, but I'll come find you later."
Tang San nodded respectfully. "Goodbye, teacher."
Yu Xiaogang smiled, patted him on the head, and turned to leave.
Hearing what Tang San called Yu Xiaogang, Director Su seemed intrigued. "Young man, you call Grandmaster your teacher? He isn't a teacher at our academy."
Tang San replied, "But he's my teacher."
Director Su paused. "You took Grandmaster as your master?" His expression was a little odd, as if he wanted to laugh but was holding it in.
Zhang Tianyu asked, "Is there something wrong with that, teacher?"
Looking at Tang San, who had Innate Full Soul Power but the useless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, Director Su and the others felt a little sorry for him,
At least they felt sorry for Tang San,
But faced with Zhang Tianyu, whose Wooden Sword Martial Soul had only three levels of Soul Power, they couldn't even be bothered to feel sorry for him.
Under the teachers' gazes, as if they were looking at idiots, Zhang Tianyu and Tang San completed their enrollment, collected their uniforms, and walked out of the Academic Affairs Office,
Just like in the original story, as soon as they stepped outside, they heard several teachers inside sneer:
"What's so famous about Grandmaster?"
"Hahaha! Famous for being a clown, maybe. Everyone treats him like a joke!"
After hearing those taunts,
Zhang Tianyu watched as Tang San's calm expression suddenly shattered. His brows knotted, and he whipped around, shoved open the door, and shouted at the teachers inside the Academic Affairs Office:
"What the hell are you laughing at, you bastards! I'll screw your mothers!"
Whoosh!
In an instant, the air fell silent.
The teachers inside the Academic Affairs Office stared blankly at Tang San, who was swearing at them,
That kid had a foul mouth!
Zhang Tianyu, meanwhile, froze for several seconds before suddenly reacting and covering his mouth!
Damn!
He'd almost forgotten!
Tang San was from the Bashu Tang Sect!
And where was Bashu?
Sichuan!
No wonder he swore with such a thick Sichuan accent!
Hahaha, holy crap, that was awesome! What a curse!
But wasn't Tang San going to get beaten up for that?
Sure enough, just as the thought crossed his mind, a powerful aura burst violently out of the Academic Affairs Office!
Caught completely off guard, Tang San let out a muffled groan and was blasted away. His back slammed hard into the corridor wall opposite the doorway!
But at that moment, Director Su's furious expression suddenly turned to shock,
Tang San had just cursed at him, and in his rage, he'd completely overlooked Zhang Tianyu standing beside him. He'd unleashed an aura strike without thinking. By rights, Tang San and Zhang Tianyu should both have been blasted away!
Yet now he saw that Tang San had indeed been sent flying, but Zhang Tianyu, who had been standing beside him with a mere three levels of Soul Power,
Was still rooted to the spot, without moving an inch,
Not even a strand of hair or the corner of his clothes had stirred!
It was as if Zhang Tianyu had completely ignored the Soul Power aura strike he'd just unleashed!
"That kid doesn't seem quite right!" Director Su's eyes filled with suspicion and uncertainty!
But he quickly came back to his senses and glared at Tang San. "Tang San, you're a student, and you dare insult a teacher? You've got some nerve!"
"Damn you! You were the one who insulted my teacher first, you bastard!" A trickle of blood ran from the corner of Tang San's mouth. Clutching his chest, he glared at Director Su without backing down.
Boom!
Tang San was blasted away again by the Soul Power aura Director Su unleashed!
This time, the blow was even heavier. Tang San's back crashed into the wall and left a crack in it. As he hit the wall, he spat out a mouthful of blood!
"If you dare insult a teacher again, I can expel you on the spot and throw you out of the academy!" Director Su said furiously.
While mourning Director Su in his heart, Zhang Tianyu hurried over and helped Tang San up, saying quietly, "Stop talking. Director Su is too strong. A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him!"
Tang San looked up at him gratefully, then wisely chose to keep quiet,
Of course, he hadn't actually chosen to shut up. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out on the spot.
Zhang Tianyu took one look and thought, Well, Director Su probably won't live to see tomorrow's sun.
Tang Hao was definitely watching from somewhere nearby. After seeing Tang San beaten up like this, he would never let Director Su off,
Sigh. A moment of silence for our respected Director Su.
But that raised a question: seeing his son cursing up a storm, with a mouth as sweet as honey, wouldn't Tang Hao find it strange?
Answer: Of course not,
Because Zhang Tianyu had used a prank item on him: the [Foul-Mouth Capsule: Tang San Exclusive Edition]!
[Foul-Mouth Capsule: Tang San Exclusive Edition]—
Can only be used on Tang San. Once used, it takes permanent effect. Under normal circumstances, Tang San won't curse people of his own accord, but whenever his emotions fluctuate greatly, he'll lose control and let loose a torrent of foul language.
Comes with the [Consciousness Confusion] effect, which forcibly alters the perceptions of everyone who knows Tang San. In their minds, Tang San is a foul-mouthed young man who's fluent in Sichuanese cursing.
That was why Old Jack had said at the academy gate, "The boy's mouth is a little... well, you know. It's an old habit,"
In reality, the normal Tang San had never cursed at anyone,
The [Consciousness Confusion] effect had forcibly twisted their perceptions!
The system's items really were something else!
A system voice rang out in Zhang Tianyu's mind:
"Congratulations! The [Debt Has a Debtor] mission is complete. You successfully caused Tang San plenty of trouble! Mission rewards: First Martial Soul First Soul Skill unlock progress +50%, reward points +10!"
