Taking Me as a Disciple? You, a Piece of Trash? (Part 2)

Beside him, Xiao Wu trembled slightly the moment she heard the words "Titled Douluo." She grabbed Lin Qing's hand and hid directly behind him, leaving only her little head exposed as she secretly watched Yu Xiaogang.

Lin Qing naturally noticed Xiao Wu's unease, but this was not the time to talk, so he merely tightened his grip on her hand slightly.

Feeling the strength in his hand, Xiao Wu's heart warmed, and she seemed to calm down considerably.

Seeing the interaction between Lin Qing and Xiao Wu, Tang San, who stood beside Yu Xiaogang, suddenly felt a sharp pang in his heart. He clutched his chest and suppressed the pain as he stared blankly at the frightened Xiao Wu, feeling as though something incredibly important was gradually slipping away from him.

"Ahem." Hearing Lin Qing's doubt, Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat awkward. After all, he was only a Soul Grandmaster.

"What? You go quiet when you run into a question you can't answer?" Lin Qing pressed on.

"What do you know? Theory isn't the same as cultivation. So what if they're Titled Douluo? Their theoretical knowledge definitely can't compare to Teacher's," Tang San once again defended Yu Xiaogang.

"Tsk. I heard that Grandmaster is an unparalleled prodigy. A peerless genius who broke through level thirty before reaching fifty years old—there's probably no other such example in the world."

When Lin Qing revealed Yu Xiaogang's cultivation level, he clearly felt Xiao Wu behind him relax. Then he sensed an inexplicable gaze, followed by Xiao Wu pinching his palm.

"What do you know?! I was held back by my trash Martial Soul!" Hearing Lin Qing's sarcastic jab, Yu Xiaogang reacted as if triggered and began stomping his feet in fury.

"Really? Didn't you say there are no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters? Doesn't what you're saying now deny that very theory?" Lin Qing said. "But if you insist on that theory, then since there are no trash Martial Souls, Grandmaster, doesn't that make you the trash Soul Master?"

"I don't think it should be called 'There are no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters' anymore. Why not just call it 'There are no trash Martial Souls, only trash Grandmasters'? It fits perfectly, doesn't it?"

"Stop talking!"

"Lin Qing, didn't your parents teach you what manners are? You show no respect for your elders and repeatedly humiliate a teacher. A petty person like you will never become a true powerhouse!" Seeing Lin Qing utterly break Yu Xiaogang's resolve, Tang San immediately flared up and pointed at Lin Qing's nose as he cursed.

"Tang San, get this straight. He's your teacher, not mine. If he hadn't overestimated himself and tried to fool Xiao Wu and me into becoming his disciples so he could use our talent to make a name for himself, do you think I'd even bother with him?"

"Besides, he wants to take me as a disciple? Does this piece of trash deserve it? He plagiarized theories and deceived an ignorant young girl. Never mind whether his theoretical knowledge is even accurate—his character alone makes him unworthy of being my teacher." Lin Qing's tone was filled with utter contempt. He truly despised Yu Xiaogang as a person.

In order to pry into Spirit Hall's confidential records, Yu Xiaogang deceived Bibi Dong, who had still been an innocent girl and the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall at the time. In the end, he even fucking ran away.

Then there was Liu Erlong. Her Martial Soul was the Fire Dragon, and she could form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him. He was supposed to be a theory master. Even if that title was undeserved, he had read countless books and at least had a vast amount of knowledge in his head. Could he really not have known that Liu Erlong was his cousin?

Even if he had not guessed that she was his cousin, he could definitely have guessed that her Martial Soul had mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, meaning she was absolutely a close blood relative. Yet, for the sake of making a name for himself, he chose to keep it secret. Then, on their wedding day, his second uncle discovered the truth, and once again, he chose to abandon her.

"Alright, I think what I said has already struck your souls. See you around."

Lin Qing turned around, took Xiao Wu's hand, and led her toward the administrative building to complete their enrollment procedures.

As for Yu Xiaogang, after hearing Lin Qing's final words, his fury attacked his heart. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground. Whether he had truly fainted or merely pretended to faint to hide his embarrassment, however, was impossible to know.

In the administrative building's academic affairs office, Lin Qing led Xiao Wu through several turns before finally finding the place.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Come in."

After receiving a response from the teacher inside the academic affairs office, Lin Qing pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing that the visitors were a boy and a girl, the grade director smiled. "You're here to register for enrollment, right? Take out your Martial Soul certificates so I can register you."

Lin Qing obediently placed his and Xiao Wu's Martial Soul certificates on the desk before the grade director.

The grade director picked up their certificates with a smile and examined them. "Innate Full Soul Power! Two children with Innate Full Soul Power!"

The grade director immediately stood up in excitement, and the commotion instantly drew the attention of the other teachers.

"What? Innate Full Soul Power?"

"They actually have the legendary Innate Full Soul Power!"

"I never thought Nuoding Academy would have two peerless geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing felt somewhat awkward, while Xiao Wu looked proud. She raised her chin as though declaring, "See? This is Sister Xiao Wu's talent!"

"Ahem, quiet!" The grade director coughed twice, and the academic affairs office immediately fell silent.

"Alright, congratulations to you both on entering Nuoding Academy. Your dormitory is Dorm Seven. Here are your room keys. Keep them safe."

As he spoke, the grade director handed a key to Lin Qing and Xiao Wu respectively.

After taking the keys, Lin Qing held Xiao Wu's hand and left the academic affairs office, heading off to find their dormitory.

After Lin Qing left, a heated discussion erupted in the academic affairs office.

"I never thought I would live to see the legendary Innate Full Soul Power, and there are even two of them!"

"Exactly. If I weren't merely a Soul Elder and afraid of leading them astray, I would have taken such geniuses as disciples no matter what."

"Forget it. They have Innate Full Soul Power. With our abilities, we can only teach them some basic theoretical knowledge. We shouldn't interfere with the growth of such geniuses."

They went downstairs, passed the teaching building, and crossed a corridor before reaching the dormitory building. Walking toward the far end, they saw a spacious dormitory with the number 7 written above its door. That was presumably Dorm Seven.

As soon as they approached the entrance to Dorm Seven, they heard a burst of noise from inside, mixed with the sounds of fighting.

"Lin Qing, are people fighting in there?" Xiao Wu had clearly heard the commotion inside Dorm Seven as well.

"Probably," Lin Qing replied casually.
