Becoming a Disciple: A Teacher for a Day, a Father for Life!

Then the two of them moved to the center of Dorm Seven.

The others cleared a space for them.

Tang San and Wang Sheng stood facing each other.

Ling Han took the role of referee.

"Begin."

At Ling Han's signal, both struck at once.

Wang Sheng released his Martial Soul, and the shadow of a tiger appeared behind him.

But he had no Soul Ring.

Tang San did not release his Martial Soul. Without a Soul Ring, Blue Silver Grass would be of no use.

Tang San's hands turned jade-white, and he closed in to fight Wang Sheng hand to hand.

With the Tang Sect's Mysterious Jade Hand and the Internal Force granted by the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang San held Wang Sheng firmly in check.

Wanting to leave Ling Han with a good impression, Tang San resolved to go all out and win as decisively as he could.

Just as Wang Sheng attacked again, the path of his strike suddenly veered off course.

It happened so abruptly that no one saw it coming.

Even Wang Sheng had no idea why it had happened.

Only Ling Han saw that Tang San had done it.

If he was not mistaken, Tang San had used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, a Tang Sect technique.

With Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon and Mysterious Jade Hand, Tang San claimed victory.

"Good match!"

Wang Sheng grinned, unfazed. "I'd expect nothing less from someone brought here by Honored Ling. You're strong! What's your name?"

"Tang San."

"All right, Tang San. From now on, you're the boss of Dorm Seven!"

At Wang Sheng's lead, everyone in Dorm Seven began chanting Tang San's name.

Tang San turned to look at Ling Han. The encouragement and approval on his face lifted Tang San's spirits.

And so Tang San became Dorm Seven's new boss.

"Xiao San, come with me for a moment."

Ling Han led Tang San out of Dorm Seven and straight to his office.

He felt it was time to take on a disciple.

As Tang San followed Ling Han to the office, excitement surged through him.

He must think I'm talented and worth training!

At the thought, Tang San's steps grew lighter.

When they reached Ling Han's office, Tang San was both excited and nervous.

Ling Han sat in his office chair and motioned for Tang San to sit too.

Tang San took the other chair, unable to sit still.

"Xiao San, if I'm not mistaken, you have more than one Martial Soul, don't you?"

Shock was written all over Tang San's face.

Only his father, Tang Hao, knew about that. How could Ling Han know?

"No need to be surprised. It's easy enough to work out."

Ling Han smiled and explained, "I saw the record of your Martial Soul. You have Innate Full Soul Power, correct?"

Tang San nodded.

"Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power... I'd say you have another Martial Soul as well. Am I right?"

Tang San admired Ling Han even more.

He felt no unease that Ling Han had seen through his Twin Martial Souls.

In Tang San's eyes, Ling Han was already someone he could trust.

"You're right, Senior Ling. I do have two Martial Souls."

Without waiting for Ling Han to ask, Tang San opened his left palm.

A pulse of Soul Power rippled out, and a small hammer appeared in his left hand.

"This is my other Martial Soul."

Ling Han studied it, a note of surprise entering his voice. "Your other Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer? In that case, I'm certain your Blue Silver Grass is no ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Keep training hard. You have a bright future ahead of you."

Ling Han did not mention the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline outright. Even if he told Tang San now, Tang San could not awaken it yet. It was too soon.

Tang San nodded. There had to be a reason behind what Ling Han had said.

Then Ling Han looked at him. "Xiao San, are you curious about my cultivation level?"

Tang San nodded. He had always wanted to know but had been too embarrassed to ask.

"I'm a Soul Saint, a rank seventy-six Power Attack System Battle Soul Saint."

A Soul Saint!

Tang San's face filled with astonishment.

Senior Ling is actually a Soul Saint?!

Tang San did not yet know that his father, Tang Hao, was Clear Sky Douluo. As far as he knew, the highest level anyone had reached was Soul Saint.

That person was the Soul Saint from Holy Soul Village whom Old Jack talked about every day.

And now another living Soul Saint stood right before him. It was almost too much to take in!

With his patient guidance, warm concern, and formidable strength, Ling Han seemed more perfect than ever in Tang San's eyes.

"I asked you here today because I want to know what you think about taking a master."

"By master, I don't mean an instructor at the academy. I mean someone you can accept as your master only once in your life."

No sooner had Ling Han finished speaking than Tang San dropped to his knees with a thud.

"Senior Ling Han, please accept me as your disciple!"

Ling Han was a little surprised, but he soon broke into a smile.

That saved him some trouble.

Once Tang San became his disciple, Ling Han could make better use of his Angel Investor trait.

"Hahaha! If that's what you want, then I'll take you as my disciple."

Overjoyed, Tang San hurriedly performed a formal discipleship bow before rising.

A teacher for a day, a father for life. That makes me Teacher Ling Han's son, doesn't it?

The thought filled Tang San with delight.

Ling Han was also pleased to have taken Tang San as his disciple.

"All right, Xiao San. Now that you're my disciple, don't go without what you need."

Ling Han handed Tang San a small pouch containing some Gold Soul Coins and a bracelet that was a Storage Soul Tool.

"Take these Gold Soul Coins for your living expenses. But don't fall into the habit of wasteful spending, understood? If you have a useful skill, you could find some work in the city during your spare time and earn a little more."

"And this bracelet is a Storage Soul Tool. It holds thirty cubic meters, which should be enough for you."

Tang San gratefully accepted the pouch and Soul Tool from Ling Han.

The reassuring weight of the pouch warmed his heart.

"Don't worry, Teacher. I'll take your advice to heart!"

Ling Han watched Tang San leave, a faint smile on his lips as he began considering his next move.

When Tang San returned to the dormitory, he met the newly arrived Xiao Wu, just as expected.

They fought, and Tang San lost through carelessness. Xiao Wu became the boss of Dorm Seven.

In truth, Tang San had taken a liking to the lively, adorable girl from the moment he saw her.

When Xiao Wu, who had no bedding of her own, came over to share his, Tang San finally understood how wise Ling Han had been to give him such a large quilt.

Teacher, just how far ahead did you see?

That night, Ling Han climbed a tree outside Dorm Seven's window and saw exactly what he had hoped to see.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had pushed their beds together and were sharing the large quilt.

It covered both beds perfectly.

That, too, was Ling Han's doing.

Satisfied to see them under the same quilt, Ling Han left.
