"Kid, who are you? What did that laugh just now mean?"
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San advanced step by step. Wang Tianyi tilted his head, his face full of arrogance and disdain.
Over the past two days, Wang Tianyi had figured out some things about his Martial Soul. Whenever he saw beggars by the roadside, he felt pity for them, and Heaven-Equaling's will would take the upper hand. His compassionate emotions would urge him to give the beggar a soul coin. Whenever he saw injustice, he would step forward to stop it, but Six Ears would impatiently urge him to punch the other party...
Whenever Wang Tianyi developed feelings of liking or dislike toward something or someone, Heaven-Equaling, which symbolized Sacred Virtue, and Six Ears, which symbolized original sin, would magnify those emotions. Of these, the Humility and Arrogance he had currently obtained were the strongest.
And now, Wang Tianyi felt disdain toward Yu Xiaogang and Tang San. Six Ears, which symbolized original sin, made him even more arrogant, causing his words to become especially sharp when facing them.
"What do you mean? Shouldn't I be the one asking that? There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters? Mister, are you joking?"
Wang Tianyi's face was filled with arrogance, as though he were a giant dragon looking down on two ants! This was not an expression a six-year-old child should have been capable of making. Tang San, who had been deeply influenced by Confucian thought, felt anger rise in his heart. This guy had already looked at him with disdain earlier, and now he was being disrespectful to the teacher Tang San had just acknowledged...
He was simply courting death!
A cold glint flashed, and a throwing knife appeared in Tang San's palm. Naturally, this small movement could not escape Wang Tianyi's ears. Six Ears' hearing was simply monstrous. Combined with the spiritual power he improved every day, if Wang Tianyi wanted to, not even the movements in half of Notting City could escape his senses, much less the killing intent in Tang San's eyes and the throwing knife in his palm.
"A joke? You think this Master is joking?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes brimmed with fury. This statement had come from the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, the perfect theory he took such pride in publishing! Yet now, some brat was questioning the validity of that theory. It was simply outrageous!
"Isn't that so? Speaking of which, mister, since you can say something like that, I'm quite curious. How much Soul Power do you have?"
Wang Tianyi spoke with a half-smile. Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened. The conversation between the two temporarily made Tang San put away the killing intent in his heart. Only now did Tang San realize that he had acted somewhat impulsively earlier. He had forgotten to ask what level of Soul Power this teacher possessed. This was a world where strength reigned supreme. To become an outstanding Soul Master, high-quality Soul Rings were indispensable, and to hunt Soul Rings, he absolutely could not rely on himself alone. He needed someone's help.
However, a man with such exceptional wisdom surely could not be weak.
Tang San was extremely confident. As long as his teacher revealed his Soul Power Level, he would definitely give this insolent brat before them, who was courting death, a huge shock! He might even make him kneel and beg for mercy on the spot!
Yet after waiting for quite a while, Tang San still did not hear Yu Xiaogang's response, and the anticipation in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Perhaps being reincarnated had caused a six-year-old child's mind to take hold of him, or perhaps Tang San had hit his head during his transmigration, but he now desperately wanted to see Wang Tianyi reveal a horrified expression. So he tugged on Yu Xiaogang's sleeve and stared curiously at the teacher he had just acknowledged and treated as family.
Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red. He looked at Wang Tianyi's mocking expression, then at Tang San's expectant face...
"Hmph! This is utterly outrageous! This Master possesses two Hundred-Year Soul Rings and is a level 29 senior Soul Grandmaster!"
As for Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power, perhaps the only thing worth mentioning was his two Hundred-Year Soul Rings. After all, having been born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it was impossible for him to absorb ten-year Soul Rings.
After saying this, Yu Xiaogang's expression visibly relaxed, and he put on a stern face. This was only Notting City. Even Four-Ring Soul Ancestors were renowned figures here. Though he, a level 29 Soul Grandmaster, could not be considered strong, he still surpassed ninety-nine percent of people. At the very least, he was far stronger than a six-year-old brat who had just enrolled!
However, upon hearing this, Tang San froze completely.
T-twenty-nine?
His teacher looked to be around fifty years old, right? Yet he was actually a level 29 peak expert who had broken through fifty years of age. How terrifying!
"Level 29? Hahahaha! Mister, are you kidding me? You look about the same age as the academy headmaster, yet your Soul Power is only level 29? You're merely a Soul Grandmaster. How do you have the nerve to say something like, 'There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters'?"
"Soul Grandmaster? Master? Don't tell me you call yourself that just because you practically have no Soul Power?"
From certain angles, Tang San's wish had been fulfilled. After all, Wang Tianyi really had revealed a shocked expression. It was just a little strange...
"A theory proposed by a level 29 Soul Grandmaster? I don't think it's any more useful than the toilet paper in my family's latrine!"
"Arrogant!"
Yu Xiaogang flew into a rage. If his disciple had not been here, he would probably have been hopping mad by now! This brat had chosen death, yet he actually humiliated him like this in front of the disciple he had just accepted! Looking across all of Notting Academy, who dared question his theory like this?
"You brat are simply audacious beyond measure! Do you know how much damage your words just caused to a scholar who has devoted his entire life to Martial Soul theory?"
"This Master has studied countless Martial Souls and exhausted a lifetime of effort to finally create the theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul. Do you know what a contribution this Master has made?"
"Without my theory, how many people would have blindly absorbed Soul Rings and died from their bodies exploding? The title of Master was not one I gave myself; it was bestowed upon me by commoner Soul Masters!"
"There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. It exists to encourage those whose Innate Martial Soul strength is lacking, to declare that this is not their fixed fate and let those Soul Masters retain the will to strive forward!"
Yu Xiaogang shouted himself hoarse, trying to prove the authority of his theory before Tang San, yet he failed to notice how remarkably colorful Tang San's expression had become.
"You are merely a brat who has just entered a Junior Soul Master Academy. What qualifications do you have to question my theory? Tell me, who are you, and what is your Martial Soul? Don't tell me you're some useless mediocrity with lofty ambitions but no ability, incapable of even breaking through to become a Soul Master!"
Yu Xiaogang's questioning was indeed imposing, and Tang San's expression improved somewhat.
Mm, although his strength was not much to speak of, at least he was a teacher with backbone. As long as his theory was powerful enough, that was sufficient for Tang San. After all, he still had his hidden weapons.
"Me?"
Wang Tianyi pointed at himself, and an aura of supreme dominance over heaven and earth suddenly arose from him!
"I can't compare to you, mister. I'm merely a level 14 One-Ring Soul Master!"
"How much?!"
Tang San was filled with shock, his eyes fixed tightly on the boy before him, who was about the same age as him. They were both new students, yet the other party was already a level 14 One-Ring Soul Master! Could this be another person with Innate Full Soul Power?
A storm raged in Tang San's heart, but he had little time left to be shocked, because...
"Kid—no, student! Are you really only six years old? What is your Martial Soul? Can you let me see it? Would you like to take me as your teacher? Let me tell you, with talent as good as yours, without guidance from a Master like me, you might end up ruined..."
Tang San fell silent as he watched Yu Xiaogang voluntarily crouch down, his face full of smiles.
Silence was Notting's theme today...
