Their boss was too strong. His first Martial Soul could fly, so once he obtained his first soul ring, beating up Soul Masters and kicking Xiao Chenyu around would be a piece of cake.

Xiao Chenyu was so furious he could not speak. His face flushed red, and he itched to rush forward and argue again.

This was freaking absurd.

How could an Angel Martial Soul appear at Nording Academy and fly before even obtaining a soul ring? Was this some kind of joke?

Though he had lost, as the city lord's son, he still had to pay the thirty Gold Soul Coins wagered. Besides, he was not short on money.

Jiang Nanchen had already left with Wang Sheng and the others.

Xiao Nanchen waved a hand. "Liu Long, take thirty Gold Soul Coins over to him. While you're at it, ask whether he's interested in following me. I can take him on as my underling."

Xiao Nanchen took out a pouch containing thirty Gold Soul Coins and handed it to Liu Long.

Liu Long accepted it and nodded. "Boss Xiao, I'll get right on it!"

Meanwhile, Tang San had already completed the ceremony of becoming a disciple. He had fully accepted this Master before him, who had only reached level twenty-nine at the age of fifty, as his teacher.

"Teacher, there's actually another person with Innate Full Soul Power. Have you seen him?"

"Oh? There's another person with Innate Full Soul Power?" Yu Xiaogang froze for a moment before immediately asking further.

"That's right. He's also from my village. He has Innate Full Soul Power, and his Martial Soul is the Sacred Angel."

Tang San said.

Sacred Angel!

Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted. Wasn't the Angel Martial Soul the inherited Martial Soul of Spirit Hall's Qian Clan?

He had never heard of a Sacred Angel. Could it have mutated, or had a new type of Martial Soul appeared in the world?

No matter what, he could not possibly let a student with Innate Full Soul Power slip away.

Tang San could be used for testing, while this Innate Full Soul Power Angel Martial Soul could be carefully cultivated. He was certain that he could make him shine brilliantly.

How could I be so smart!

The children were all six years old now. As long as he guided them a little, there would be no need to worry about anything else.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's excited expression and the fervor in his eyes, Tang San could not help feeling puzzled.

Yu Xiaogang quickly came back to himself and gave a light cough to conceal his emotions.

"Innate Full Soul Power paired with a top-tier Martial Soul is truly rare. Go settle yourself in Dorm Seven first. I'll check his dorm assignment."

Tang San nodded, and the two parted ways at a fork in the academy.

Carrying his bundle, he found Dorm Seven and pushed open the door. The room was empty. Several wooden beds were neatly arranged, most covered in old bedding. Only the bed by the window was clean and tidily made.

Tang San chose the empty bed opposite it and set down his bundle. After briefly arranging his clothes, he secretly planned to find his teacher and settle the matter of his soul ring once he was settled, so he could raise his Soul Power as soon as possible.

A burst of noisy footsteps suddenly came from outside, accompanied by the excited voices of the Dorm Seven students.

The door was pushed open, and Wang Sheng and several others crowded around Jiang Nanchen as they entered, all of them glowing with excitement.

"Boss, the thirty Gold Soul Coins are ours! Xiao Chenyu got completely crushed this time!"

"Let's see who still dares to mess with Dorm Seven from now on!"

Tang San's ears immediately caught the key information. Thirty Gold Soul Coins? He almost thought he had misheard. Work-study students only received a few Copper Soul Coins in monthly subsidies. To him, thirty Gold Soul Coins were an astronomical sum.

He looked toward the center of the crowd. When he saw that familiar face, he froze. It was actually Jiang Nanchen from Holy Soul Village. They had not seen each other for even half a day—how had the other boy become the boss of Dorm Seven already?

Wang Sheng noticed Tang San in the corner and walked over.

"You're new, right?"

Tang San nodded. "Yes, my name is Tang San."

Wang Sheng pointed toward Jiang Nanchen. "Tang San, this is Jiang Nanchen, the boss of Dorm Seven. By the rules, if you're not convinced, you can challenge him."

Tang San glanced at Jiang Nanchen and lightly shook his head. The other boy had Innate Full Soul Power and a Sacred Angel Martial Soul. He would gain no advantage in a direct fight, so there was no need to force the issue.

"No need. I have no objections."

After a pause, he asked, "Why are you all so happy?"

Wang Sheng instantly perked up, straightening his back even more.

"Isn't it obvious? Boss just went to the sparring platform out back and beat Liu Long, a one-ring Soul Master, without even having a soul ring himself! He also won thirty Gold Soul Coins from Xiao Chenyu!"

Tang San's pupils narrowed slightly.

He beat a one-ring Soul Master without a soul ring? His heart sank sharply. They both had Innate Full Soul Power, yet the combat strength of an Angel Martial Soul was actually this overwhelming. An invisible pressure quietly crept into his heart.

Jiang Nanchen looked over at that moment. When he saw Tang San, his expression did not change much.

Your father wants to kill me, let alone you.

Though Tang San was still someone who knew nothing.

"Oh? It's so lively here?"

At that moment, a pink-haired girl with a ponytail walked over. Like a little rabbit, she curiously looked around.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Xiao Wu—the Wu from dancing!" Xiao Wu introduced herself.

Xiao Wu was still full of curiosity and anticipation toward new things.

"I heard it just now too. The rule in Dorm Seven is to challenge people, right? Perfect, then I want to challenge him!"

Xiao Wu pointed at Jiang Nanchen amid the crowd.

She really wanted others to call her Sister Xiao Wu. How impressive would it be to have a whole group following behind her?

Jiang Nanchen raised a brow and looked at the pink-haired girl by the door.

"Challenge me? Fine."

Everyone in the dorm immediately moved to either side, clearing an open space in the middle. Wang Sheng and the others stood nearby, their eyes full of anticipation for a good show.

Xiao Wu gave a sharp cry and shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow. She moved incredibly fast. With a flick of her wrist, she wrapped herself around Jiang Nanchen's arm, twisting her waist as she prepared to use her grappling technique to throw him out.

Just as she was about to exert force, a searing heat suddenly came from Jiang Nanchen's body.

Xiao Wu felt her palm burn as if she had touched red-hot iron. The pain made her cry out, and she instinctively let go. Any slower, and her hand would have been roasted through.

Jiang Nanchen raised a hand and gave her a light push.

Xiao Wu lost her footing, staggered back a few steps, and landed on her butt.

She blanked for a moment, then pushed herself up from the ground. Rubbing her reddened wrist, she stared at Jiang Nanchen in utter disbelief.

"Why is your body so hot? You're like a furnace!"

Jiang Nanchen reined in the Fire Dragon King's power that had unconsciously leaked from within him, his expression calm.

"Probably because of my Martial Soul."

Silence fell over the room. No one had expected this outcome. Tang San stood in the corner, his gaze tightening slightly. He could sense that the searing heat was anything but ordinary.

Xiao Wu pouted and rubbed her wrist. Though unwilling to accept it, she conceded defeat.

"You're pretty good. I lost this time."

"Yeah, a little later and we would've been having roasted rabbit legs." Jiang Nanchen could not help sighing with amusement.

Xiao Wu's face flushed red with anger. "You jerk! Forget it, I won't lower myself to your level."

Just then, the door was pushed open again. Liu Long strode in and handed Jiang Nanchen the pouch containing thirty Gold Soul Coins. "From Boss Xiao. Thirty Gold Soul Coins."
