After returning to Dorm Seven at the Nuoding City Soul Master Academy, Tang San picked a bed at random, gave it a quick cleaning, and then took his belongings out of his Soul Tool to spread them across the mattress.
This display of his left the work-study students present thoroughly shocked.
Among them were quite a few older children, and they possessed at least that basic level of discernment.
"Is... is that a Soul Tool? And these things..."
The one who spoke was the second-in-command of this group of work-study students, a young boy named Wang Sheng.
Not long ago, he had been the leader of their little group, but after being defeated by a young girl whose martial soul was a Soft Bone Rabbit, he had naturally surrendered his position as boss.
As for why their boss was not in the dormitory right now?
Just before Tang San arrived, that Grandmaster Yu, who had been scamming free meals and drinks around the academy, had suddenly come to their dormitory and called Xiao Wu out, though no one knew what they were discussing.
According to the traditions of Dorm Seven, Tang San was supposed to spar with them after moving in.
However, when he saw Tang San's well-tailored clothing, he began to hesitate.
Especially after seeing the expensive Soul Tool on the other boy's hand, his wariness regarding the newcomer's background grew by three parts.
Hearing the gasps of the others, Tang San straightened his back unconsciously; he truly loved the feeling of being the center of attention.
He had never experienced such a feeling before, and he discovered that ever since he had taken his master as his teacher, everything seemed to be getting better!
His master's kindness was truly impossible to repay!
"Hello everyone, I am the new work-study student, Tang San."
"My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I have Innate Soul Power of level ten."
Wang Sheng and the others had not expected this junior, who looked so extraordinary, to be so easy to talk to and polite; he seemed quite different from the noble children they had in mind.
Furthermore, the other boy actually possessed the same Innate Full Soul Power talent as their new boss!
But since when could a trash martial soul like Blue Silver Grass be cultivated?
After a moment of silence, Wang Sheng, as the former boss, gathered his courage and asked Tang San, "Tang San, you seem quite wealthy, so why choose to be a work-study student?"
Hearing the question, Tang San lifted his head with pride. "This was all given to me by my master."
"Before I met my master, I was just like you, a work-study student from a nearby village."
As soon as he finished speaking, another wave of gasps erupted in the room.
This little junior named Tang San had already taken a master?
If his teacher could give away so many things so casually, he must be a powerhouse, right?
"Then Tang San, may I ask what the cultivation level of your teacher is?"
Once Wang Sheng asked this, the others looked at Tang San with curiosity.
The envy in their eyes could not be hidden at all.
Most of their parents were ordinary people without soul power, and there hadn't even been a soul master in their ancestry.
Their greatest dream was to become the high-and-mighty soul master lords that people spoke of, achieving a leap in social class, just like Tang San was now.
"Soul Saint."
Tang San spat out the two words briefly, causing the others present to fall into a frenzy.
One had to know that in a small place like Nuoding City, let alone a Soul Saint, even a Soul Ancestor or a Soul Elder was a big shot!
Their academy dean and the bishop of the Nuoding City Martial Soul Hall were only four-ring Soul Ancestors.
As fellow work-study students, they wished they had Tang San's talent so they could become the disciple of a Soul Saint!
Soon, amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Tang San finished tidying his things. "If there is anything going on at the academy, please let me know when I return."
"The time I agreed upon with my master is almost up, so I need to head out for a moment."
Hearing that Tang San was going to see that Soul Saint senior, Wang Sheng and the others immediately promised that they would handle everything for him.
Their enthusiasm made even the somewhat cold Tang San feel a bit embarrassed.
They weren't stupid; given their own talents, there was naturally no chance of becoming a disciple of that Soul Saint, but if they built a good relationship with Tang San, they might benefit greatly if that senior offered them a few pointers in his spare time.
Not long after Tang San left, a little pink-haired girl stormed into the room, looking furious and muttering complaints under her breath.
"Big Sister Xiao Wu, did that Grandmaster Yu have something to say when he called you out?"
Hearing Wang Sheng's question, Xiao Wu was filled with anger. "That damn master said he wanted to take your Big Sister Xiao Wu as his disciple, and even claimed that if I didn't accept his training, my life would be ruined!"
The work-study students present looked at each other with strange expressions upon hearing this.
They wouldn't find it strange if someone wanted to take the Innate Full Soul Power-wielding Xiao Wu as a disciple.
But that Grandmaster Yu was...
However, seeing Xiao Wu's reaction, they knew she definitely hadn't agreed to the swindler's request, and they felt a heavy weight lift from their hearts.
"Huh? Did we get a newcomer in Dorm Seven?"
After Xiao Wu had been angry for a while, she glanced over and noticed Tang San's bed.
Wang Sheng and the others quickly told Xiao Wu that the new junior was named Tang San, his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, and he had Innate Full Soul Power.
Furthermore, the other party had apprenticed under a master with the cultivation of a Soul Saint.
Xiao Wu let out a heavy sigh of relief; if it were only a Soul Saint, her secret would not be discovered.
As for that kid named Tang San, perhaps she could...
On the other side, after waiting for a while at the place where he had apprenticed, Tang San saw his master slowly walking over from the distance.
"Let's go, Little San. The Dean has arranged a room for me; that place will be where your master resides from now on."
As Jiang Li spoke, he walked toward the room where Yu Xiaogang had previously lived.
He had specifically instructed the Dean of Nuoding Junior Academy to replace everything inside with new items, otherwise, he would have felt quite uncomfortable living there himself.
Regarding Tang San's first martial soul, Jiang Li felt that if he were to pursue the extreme life attribute—similar to the healing and control type of Ah Yin—it would not be quite suitable for this kid.
Instead, he felt that metalizing the plant martial soul, much like Yue Guan, while simultaneously imbuing it with some life attributes, would be far more suitable for Tang San's future development.
Tang San nodded excitedly, following in Jiang Li's footsteps.
Soon, he would know how his master planned the development route for his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
Moreover, he had also decided that when the time came, he would tell his master directly that he truly possessed Twin Martial Souls.
