Why Did the Teacher's Hair Turn Green?

"Of course."

"Good, good. Then we'll be troubling you."

The two village chiefs, Old Wang and Old Jack, were overjoyed. They had been worrying about having no way to get in.

"Xiaofeng, once you enter the academy, make sure you study well under the master, understand?"

Afterward, Village Chief Old Wang began giving Wang Feng instructions.

"I understand, Grandpa Village Chief. Don't worry."

"Mm, there are still matters in the village waiting for me to handle, so Grandpa will be leaving now." After saying this, Village Chief Old Wang gave Wang Feng another round of reminders. Thinking of Widow Wang next door waiting for him back in the village, he quickly left Notting Academy.

"Wang Feng, Tang San, you two come with me."

"Yes."

Wang Feng answered and followed Yu Xiaogang.

"Yes."

Tang San answered as well and followed Yu Xiaogang.

"This is the last time. If you commit the same offense again, you needn't stay here."

As they passed the gatekeepers, Yu Xiaogang gave the two of them a cold warning.

"Yes, Master. We absolutely won't do it again."

"Let's go." Yu Xiaogang smiled at Wang Feng and Tang San, casually taking both their hands.

Wang Feng had not wanted to let him take his hand, but then he remembered that he had come to test the green source ability of his Martial Soul on Yu Xiaogang. With a quiet laugh in his heart, he let Yu Xiaogang hold it.

The next second, as Yu Xiaogang took hold of him, Wang Feng circulated his Soul Power and activated the green light of his Martial Soul. Green source particles slowly began to spread toward Yu Xiaogang.

Soon after, faint green particles spread across Yu Xiaogang's body until they entered him.

Wang Feng's movements were extremely discreet, and neither Tang San nor Yu Xiaogang noticed.

"Teacher, thank you."

Once they had gone inside, Tang San spoke to Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher? I'm not a teacher at this academy." Yu Xiaogang looked down at Tang San and spoke flatly.

Although he was eager to take Tang San as a disciple and use him to test his theories, he could not rush things. He had to proceed step by step.

"Not a teacher at the academy? Then how can you represent the academy? I understand now. You must be the academy headmaster, or some high-ranking official."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "You're quite clever, child. But you guessed wrong. I'm merely an idler in this academy, not the headmaster or a leader. You may call me Master; everyone else calls me that. As for my name, even I have nearly forgotten it. Tang San, your name is Tang San, right? You must understand that 'Master' and 'teacher' are worlds apart. Don't confuse them in the future. Unless..."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang paused. Looking at Tang San, a blazing light flashed in his eyes. "Unless you truly wish to acknowledge me as your teacher."

"Do you want to teach me how to cultivate my Martial Soul?" Tang San asked.

Yu Xiaogang stopped walking, concealing the fire in his eyes. He looked at Tang San and smiled gently. "Then, are you willing?"

Wang Feng watched the two of them from the side as the Soul Power within him circulated faster and faster. Almost there. Just a little more, and I should be able to give Yu Xiaogang a new style—a new hair color.

Wang Feng had no other intention in doing this. He simply wanted to test the ability of his Martial Soul on Yu Xiaogang.

At the same time, he wanted to see whether Yu Xiaogang could discover the special nature of his Martial Soul.

When Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San remain silent, he understood what he meant. Raising a hand, he rubbed Tang San's head. "Gifted beyond measure, and so intelligent as well. It seems I must be stubborn for once, too. After all, you are the third person in the past hundred years to possess Twin Martial Souls."

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San was instantly startled. His gaze toward Yu Xiaogang turned cold, and his left wrist quietly lifted.

Yu Xiaogang turned his back to him, leaving Tang San with an unfathomable silhouette. Smiling, he said, "Are you curious why I know you have Twin Martial Souls?" As he spoke, Master shook the certificate issued by Spirit Hall in his hand.

This pretentious bastard is definitely showing off his knowledge, isn't he?

"It's because of this certificate. Others might not be able to see the flaw in it, but if even I could not see it, then I would not deserve the title of Master."

"I once investigated six hundred and forty-seven people whose Martial Souls were Blue Silver Grass. Of them, sixteen possessed Soul Power, a probability of less than three percent. Yet even among those sixteen, not one had Soul Power above rank one. But you possess rank ten Innate Full Soul Power. According to one of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul that I researched, Innate Soul Power is directly proportional to the quality of one's Martial Soul. Blue Silver Grass clearly cannot meet that condition. Therefore, I can be certain that you have another Martial Soul."

Tang San gradually calmed down and argued, "There are exceptions to everything. Why can't I be an exception?"

So you know there are exceptions to everything? Just wait and see how he talks you into a corner. Wang Feng mocked inwardly, then chimed in, "Exactly. Why are you so certain?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded seriously. "That's right. There are exceptions to everything. But Tang San, your Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, so you are clearly not that exception. Over the past hundred years, only two people with Twin Martial Souls have appeared in the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire, but nineteen people were born with Innate Full Soul Power. I carefully studied every one of their Martial Souls. Without exception, they were all powerful. The youngest among them has already reached the level of Soul Grandmaster.

"Besides the fourteen who inherited powerful Martial Souls through their family bloodlines, there were five exceptions."

"They were not born into noble families, yet they also possessed Innate Full Soul Power. Such exceptions were the result of Mutated Martial Souls. And based on my many years of research into Mutated Martial Souls, no Martial Soul can mutate together with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is also an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, so I can be completely certain that my judgment is correct."

"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, Wang Feng, your Martial Soul is a Mutated Martial Soul."

"His Martial Soul is a Mutated Martial Soul?" Tang San looked at Wang Feng with slight surprise.

"My Martial Soul is a Mutated Martial Soul?" Wang Feng laughed. No one knew better than him whether his Martial Soul was mutated.

It was no Mutated Martial Soul at all. He had Innate Full Soul Power and the Elemental Green Light Martial Soul.

Yu Xiaogang still wanted to trick him into becoming a guinea pig for his theoretical experiments? Dream on. He was not Tang San, so easily fooled.

Just then, Tang San suddenly stepped back, putting some distance between himself and Yu Xiaogang. Then he dropped to both knees, placed his hands before him, and respectfully kowtowed to Master three times.

Here it comes, the scene where Tang San acknowledges a father. Wang Feng mocked inwardly as he sped up the circulation of his Soul Power and stared at Yu Xiaogang's head.

Seeing Tang San kneel before him, Yu Xiaogang froze. "Tang San, what are you doing?"

"Teacher," Tang San called respectfully. "Please accept me as your disciple."

Yu Xiaogang smiled, a deeply satisfied smile. Releasing Wang Feng's hand, he bent down to pull Tang San up. "Silly boy, why kowtow when taking a teacher? Don't you know that this is etiquette reserved for rulers and parents? A bow is all that is needed."

The customs of Douluo Continent were clearly different from those of Tang San's first life, but Tang San did not think his ceremony was excessive. He said solemnly, "A teacher for a day is a father for life. You deserve my kneeling salute."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San happily and bent down. "A teacher for a day, a father for life. Good, good. It seems I truly did not choose wrong. Get up quickly."

With this disciple, my theoretical experiments are secure from now on. As he pulled Tang San up, Yu Xiaogang was beside himself with excitement.

Tang San looked up at Yu Xiaogang. As he stood, he saw that his teacher's originally black hair had suddenly turned green, and he froze.

"Strange. Teacher's hair was clearly black just now. Why did it suddenly turn green?"

"Could it be his Martial Soul? Or was he so excited to take me as his disciple that his head turned green?"

Although Tang San was puzzled, he did not ask further. Perhaps it really was caused by his teacher's Martial Soul.
