Master? Just an Old Swindler

Ye Yun felt sick under the old man's stare. He really wanted to stab both of his eyeballs out.

Tang San was not much better off, but he still stepped forward and blocked Ye Yun behind him.

Yu Xiaogang saw the wariness the two of them held toward him and realized he really had gotten a little too worked up. He quickly coughed twice to show his embarrassment.

"Ahem, ahem. Leave the two of them to me. I'll take them to register."

"Thank you, thank you, sir. Little San, Little Yun, the two of you must study hard. You have to strive to become powerful soul masters."

Old Jack stroked their heads and gave them kindly instructions.

"Got it, Grandpa Jack!" ×2

After that, the two of them followed Yu Xiaogang into Nuoding Primary Academy.

"If my guess is correct, one of you has twin martial souls, and the other has a mutated martial soul. Am I right?"

Yu Xiaogang said with both hands clasped behind his back, not even turning his head, looking every bit like an otherworldly expert.

Tang San frowned when he heard this. The Silent Sleeve Arrow on his forearm was loaded and ready. Then he turned his head to look at Ye Yun and made a throat-slitting gesture, asking for his opinion.

As long as Ye Yun nodded, he would kill this man immediately.

Ye Yun gently shook his head, and Tang San nodded, releasing the Silent Sleeve Arrow.

"The two of you must be very curious about how I knew, right? According to my research, a trash martial soul like Blue Silver Grass simply cannot have innate full soul power, except in the case of twin martial souls.

If the two of you are willing to take me as your teacher, I am willing to teach you and cultivate you into powerful soul masters.

You may not know this, but I released the Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls. Everyone respectfully calls me Master."

The corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth rose. He greatly enjoyed this feeling of displaying his brilliance before others.

As long as these two took him as their teacher, his theories would be proven!

Then he would be able to shake off the title of trash, return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and make all those who looked down on him regret it!!

The more Yu Xiaogang thought about it, the more excited he became, and the hands clasped behind his back tightened unconsciously.

Seeing this, Tang San thought he had encountered a true expert and hurriedly wanted to kneel and acknowledge him as his teacher.

Ye Yun was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed Tang San and shot him a look.

Tang San only froze for a moment, then immediately stood back up.

He thought to himself that since Brother Yun had stepped in to stop him, he must have noticed some hidden problem.

On ordinary days, Ye Yun could always see details that common people overlooked, and his insight far surpassed others. Thinking about it, the person before them was probably not as completely trustworthy as he appeared on the surface.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang grew a little anxious and hurriedly asked, "Do you have any questions? Say them, and I can help you solve them!"

Ye Yun cleared his throat and asked Yu Xiaogang, "This Master, since you're so amazing, I'd like to ask: what level is your soul power?"

Yu Xiaogang's corpse-like face twitched, then he said with bitterness filling his voice, "Sigh... Because my innate soul power was only half a level, I only have level 29 soul power. But that doesn't affect my ability to teach you!

What makes me formidable isn't soul power, but the knowledge in my brain!

There are many people with powerful soul power, but very few people as resourceful and wise as I am!"

The more Yu Xiaogang spoke, the more agitated he became, and the expression he had originally restrained lost control once more.

His cheeks flushed bright red, spittle flew everywhere, and his hands waved exaggeratedly in the air nonstop. His expression was feverish, his behavior deranged.

He prattled on endlessly about his soul master theories, the fanaticism in his eyes almost overflowing. He was a complete madman.

Tang San, standing to the side, watched as his pupils abruptly contracted, and stormy waves surged through his heart.

He subconsciously retreated several steps in a row, his face full of bone-deep lingering fear.

At this moment, he was completely clear-headed!

Just now, he had mistakenly thought the man was an expert hiding his edge, someone with vast knowledge and depth.

But now, with the other party's completely unhinged, deranged appearance, how was he some hidden expert? He was clearly a strange man who had gone down a dead end and let obsession turn him into a demon!

A wave of fear swept through Tang San's heart.

Thank goodness! Thank goodness Brother Yun had grabbed him just now!

If he had acted impulsively just now and truly dropped to his knees to take such a paranoid madman as his teacher, then his future path of cultivation would probably have been completely ruined!

At this moment, Tang San felt incomparably grateful. When he looked at Ye Yun beside him, his gaze was filled even more with heartfelt admiration and trust.

Brother Yun's observational ability was simply terrifying!

He had not noticed the slightest thing wrong, yet Brother Yun had already seen through this man's abnormality at a glance, stopped him in time, and helped him avoid a massive pit that could have destroyed his entire life!

"Ding, [Harmony] Energy +30, Host soul power level increased by one. Current level: 11.

Ability obtained: Tuning.

Through chanting, applied corresponding special effects to the target. Chant incantation: (same model as Sunday)

Once proficient, Tuning could be activated with a single thought."

"Brother Yun, let's go. Don't bother with this old fraud."

Tang San pulled Ye Yun toward the teaching building without looking back.

Yu Xiaogang was left behind, lost in his own praise, going mad on the spot.

After completing their enrollment files, the two arrived side by side at the work-study student dormitory.

Ye Yun deliberately lagged half a step behind, letting Tang San open the door and go in first. After all, right now he only had the [Harmony] Path.

That basically meant he was only support, and he had no combat skills either. If he lost, it would be embarrassing.

"Click—"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a fist wrapped in a gust of force came smashing straight toward Tang San's face.

Tang San's gaze sharpened in an instant. He tilted his head lightly to the side, steadily avoiding the sneak attack.

Immediately after, he raised a hand and locked onto the other party's swinging arm, while his other hand followed the motion and struck the other party's abdomen with a palm.

"Ugh!"

The attacker grunted in pain, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the floor.

Tang San stepped into the room, his gaze sweeping over every corner.

The other boys in the dormitory were all staring fixedly at this side, their eyes full of admiration. Seeing that, he felt slightly more at ease.

"Why did you sneak-attack me?"

The boy on the ground rubbed his stomach and stood up, but he did not seem angry.

"Hiss... You're really strong. I didn't have a choice either.

We work-study students are often ostracized and bullied in the academy. Only with bigger fists can we protect the companions around us.

So the dormitory set a rule. Every newcomer has to spar once, and the winner becomes the dorm head.

From today on, you're our new dorm head."

He took the initiative to introduce himself. "My name is Wang Sheng. My martial soul is a fierce tiger."

"Tang San. My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."

Tang San replied simply, then walked to an empty bed and began tidying it and laying out the bedding.

After he finished, he turned to look at Ye Yun beside him.

"Brother Yun, the bed's all made."

Ye Yun did not stand on ceremony either. He tossed his bag onto the bed and sat down on it.

"Little San, how about I be this dorm head?"

"I'll listen to Brother Yun."

Tang San did not hesitate in the slightest. In any case, he did not like it himself. If Brother Yun liked it, then let him be it.

The others did not dare say a word either. Even a ruthless person like Tang San obediently called him brother. They truly did not dare imagine how strong he was.

Ye Yun gave two light coughs, looked at everyone, and spoke in an open, reliable tone.

"Since no one objects, I'll be the dorm head. From now on, we're all living in the same dormitory, so we're one of us. As long as I'm here, I'll make sure everyone in our dormitory doesn't get bullied by outsiders."

His words were straightforward and domineering, maxing out their sense of security.

The six new students instantly set aside the stiffness in their hearts and spoke in unison, their voices neat and loud.

"Mighty dorm head!" ×6

"[Harmony] Energy +20"

Meanwhile, Tang San was tidying up at the empty bed closest to Ye Yun.

Just then, the dormitory door was pushed open again.

A girl as delicate as carved jade walked in.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing."

Xiao Wu hopped lightly into the dormitory, looking lively and adorable.

Ye Yun leaned sideways against the bed. When he saw the newcomer, his eyes could not help but light up.

In his heart, he began calculating how to trick her into joining his family.

If he could get this little rabbit to join the family, then his own soul power cultivation speed would double, and his path to leveling up would become much smoother.

Wang Sheng, off to the side, immediately started egging things on when he saw a newcomer.

"Dorm head! A new classmate's here. According to our dormitory's rules, hurry up and spar with her."

Xiao Wu tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion, "Why do we have to fight as soon as we meet?"

Wang Sheng hurriedly explained, "This is the rule our dormitory set. Every new student has to fight the current dorm head. If they can win, they become the next dorm head."

After hearing this explanation, Xiao Wu instantly understood, and a competitive light flashed through her eyes.

She clenched her small fists and stood there prettily, the corners of her mouth lifting into a lively smile.

"So that's how it is! Interesting!"
