Yu Xiaogang's Confidence! Accepting Disciples and Polite Refusals!

Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy.

At the entrance.

The guard blocked Tang Yin and Old Jack, holding Tang Yin's certificate with a look of scrutiny and disdain.

Tang Yin was lost in thought, wondering when Yu Xiaogang, the teacher who originally belonged to Tang San, would appear.

The next second, he caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man walking toward them, dressed in a dark robe with a plain, ordinary face and a stiff, slightly stern expression.

That was none other than Yu Xiaogang, the man who should have taken Tang San as his disciple.

Based on his attire and the timeline, Tang Yin guessed that the man was indeed Yu Xiaogang.

"What's the matter?" Yu Xiaogang arrived beside the guard and asked indifferently.

The moment the guard saw Yu Xiaogang, his attitude did a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn, becoming respectful: "Master, these two people tried to sneak in with a fake certificate, so I stopped them."

Hearing the word "Master," Tang Yin was even more certain of the middle-aged man's identity.

Yu Xiaogang took the certificate and examined it carefully. When he saw the information "Innate Full Soul Power" and "Blue Silver Grass" appearing on the same document, he couldn't help but freeze, sizing up Tang Yin with a calm expression.

"Hello, this certificate was given by Master Su Yuntao of the Martial Soul Hall; it is absolutely genuine." Old Jack looked at Yu Xiaogang cautiously, assuring him.

After a detailed look, Yu Xiaogang said: "The certificate is indeed genuine. Old sir, I apologize for his rudeness. Leave this child to me; I will take him to register for school."

"No need to apologize! No need!" Old Jack waved his hands in a panic.

After all, an ordinary person had no status in front of someone suspected of being a Soul Master.

"Little Tang, study hard here. I'll come to pick you up when the holidays arrive," Old Jack said with a smile, raising his hand to ruffle Tang Yin's short, sea-blue hair.

"Goodbye, Grandpa Jack!" Tang Yin waved goodbye and watched Old Jack leave.

After Old Jack was gone, Yu Xiaogang said to Tang Yin: "Follow me."

Tang Yin nodded without a word.

He watched as Yu Xiaogang reprimanded the guard before turning to leave.

Tang Yin witnessed everything, his heart remaining completely calm.

At this moment, he was thinking about how to reasonably refuse Yu Xiaogang's desire to take him as a disciple.

He did not want to take a master.

Especially not a weak one.

Yu Xiaogang also noticed the silent Tang Yin along the way, wondering how to break the silence.

After a while, Yu Xiaogang stopped.

Seeing this, Tang Yin stopped as well, his gaze falling on Yu Xiaogang with confusion.

Yu Xiaogang turned to look at Tang Yin and raised the certificate in his hand: "Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power—I have been researching for decades, and this is the first time I have encountered it. Can you let me see your martial soul?"

"Of course. Master Su Yuntao of the Martial Soul Hall was also surprised. He later told me that my situation was a case of a beneficial mutation of the martial soul, which is why I have Innate Full Soul Power." As Tang Yin spoke, he released his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.

Even among the top powerhouses on the continent, few knew of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Tang Yin was not at all worried that Yu Xiaogang would recognize it.

Because Yu Xiaogang did not have that capability.

Listening to Tang Yin's explanation, the words "Master Su Yuntao" and "mutated martial soul" caught his attention; this was the second time he had heard the former today.

Since when could a mere Soul Grand Master be called a Master!?

Yu Xiaogang didn't dwell on it too much, focusing his attention on Tang Yin's Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, muttering to himself: "Except for those golden patterns, it is no different from a normal Blue Silver Grass. Could it really be a beneficial mutation?"

"For a trash martial soul like Blue Silver Grass to undergo such a beneficial mutation and even produce Innate Full Soul Power—it's truly incredible!"

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but think of himself, shouting in his heart: "The heavens are unfair!"

Tang Yin watched the changes in Yu Xiaogang's expression, feeling a secret sense of relief.

He had carefully considered this lie before deciding to tell it.

Moreover, it fit the situation of a mutated martial soul perfectly.

After all, martial soul mutations could be good or bad.

If it developed in a good direction, a peerless genius might emerge; if it developed in a bad direction, a peerless piece of trash might appear!

"Master, where is the registration area?"

"If you are busy, I can go register myself. I won't trouble you further."

Tang Yin's words brought Yu Xiaogang out of his daze.

Yu Xiaogang stared at Tang Yin, sizing him up carefully, and then said: "I have studied knowledge regarding martial souls for many years. Would you be willing to take me as your master? I am willing to pour everything I have into teaching you and helping you become a powerhouse of a generation!"

"Master, I'm just here to go to school, aren't I?" Tang Yin scratched his head, pretending to be confused.

"What I teach is something no Soul Master academy and no Soul Master can teach you!" A stiff, awkward smile forced its way onto Yu Xiaogang's rigid face.

Tang Yin sighed inwardly and said helplessly: "Master, I would like to register for school first."

The smile on Yu Xiaogang's face vanished quickly, returning to his previous stiff and stern expression: "Follow me."

Yu Xiaogang said nothing more, turning and heading straight for the freshman registration desk.

Tang Yin quickened his pace to follow, thinking to himself, It's a good thing I made up a lie; if I hadn't hidden the mutated Clear Sky Hammer, I wouldn't have been able to shake Yu Xiaogang off so easily. Yu Xiaogang is of almost no use to me, so there's no need to have any further dealings with him.

Upon arriving at the registration desk, Yu Xiaogang said in a calm tone, "There is someone inside who handles freshman registration. Go on in."

Tang Yin thanked him, "Thank you, Master."

Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and walked away with his hands behind his back, his brow furrowed as if he were deep in thought.

Tang Yin said nothing more. After entering the registration office, signing up, and receiving his school uniform, he asked for directions all the way until he arrived at the work-study student dormitory—Dormitory Seven!

At this moment, the door to Dormitory Seven was wide open, and seven or eight boys of various ages were inside, making a racket.

Tang Yin did not rush to go in, choosing instead to walk to the side and wait quietly.

Not long after, a young girl with a simple outfit, looking delicate and cute, and of a similar age to Tang Yin, walked toward him. What made her particularly eye-catching was the long scorpion braid she wore, which was groomed very neatly.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Dormitory Seven?"

The young girl walked up to Tang Yin with a graceful air, her pink eyes sparkling as she stared at his face, thinking to herself, How is this person so good-looking?

Tang Yin also looked the young girl up and down, thinking to himself, This must be Xiao Wu!

Tang Yin then pointed to the dormitory with the open door beside them and said, "This is indeed Dormitory Seven. I'm a freshman too; let's go in together."

After the girl snapped back to reality, she noticed the school uniform in Tang Yin's hands, then looked at the one she was holding in her own arms, and suddenly realized.
