The most important thing was not to get shaken off when Ye Fan went looking for opportunities.
If Ye Fan refused... that would mean this fellow harbored guard against him, and was already courting death!
When the time came to look for opportunities, he couldn't be blamed for ruthlessly taking everything away.
Ye Fan looked into Tang San's eyes and slowly spoke.
"Alright, then I'll accept it, but..."
He turned and went back into the room, bringing out a piece of Cured Meat for Tang San.
"Give and take, these are the only things I have here that I can take out. You shouldn't disdain it, right?"
Looking at the Cured Meat in Ye Fan's hand, Tang San's throat involuntarily moved.
Ever since he came to this world, he hadn't eaten meat yet... Tang San's hand moved faster than his brain, directly taking the thing from Ye Fan's hand.
"No, I don't disdain it!"
His appearance was just like suddenly receiving some unexpected joy.
Just as he was about to leave, Tang San suddenly remembered something.
"Um, Grandpa Jack asked me to tell you, we're setting off the day after tomorrow to report to Nuoding Academy."
"Alright, I'll remember."
Watching Tang San depart, there wasn't the slightest bit of a smile in Ye Fan's eyes.
This fish really took the bait fast.
Two days passed quickly.
Led by Old Jack, Ye Fan and Tang San also headed toward Nuoding City.
After arriving at Nuoding Academy, unsurprisingly, the three of them were stopped outside the gates by the guards.
Old Jack gave the certificate for the guard to inspect, but he simply didn't believe it.
Or rather, he was unwilling to believe it.
Thinking of getting in without a bit of benefit? Dream on!
Old Jack completely failed to understand his meaning, which also made the guard not want to waste words with Old Jack.
"Get lost, hurry up and get lost! One Blue Silver Grass and one Tongue, all with Innate Full Soul Power-who are you trying to kid? You even dare forge a fake certificate, watch out or I'll have all of you locked up!"
That guard tossed Tang San's certificate onto the ground and viciously stepped on it.
Seeing this, anger surged from the bottom of Tang San's heart.
Just a mere guard, how dare he humiliate them like this?
Thinking of this, his hand quietly withdrew behind his back, preparing to pull out the Sleeve Arrow to properly teach this fellow a lesson!
But the next moment...
Tang San's hand that had withdrawn behind his back was suddenly tightly grabbed by a powerful hand, giving him a start.
He turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was Ye Fan!
Ye Fan didn't look at Tang San, but instead stared at that guard and slowly spoke.
"Bind."
The next moment, that guard's body suddenly stiffened, standing rigidly in place as if tightly bound by invisible ropes. All over his body, nothing except his eyeballs could move.
He didn't know what had happened, and could only make muffled cries while the color of his trousers slowly deepened from fright.
Although his appearance was miserable, Ye Fan didn't have a shred of pity to spare for him.
People who relied on petty power to start making things difficult for others were not worthy of sympathy.
Ye Fan looked at this guard with a poker face.
"Let's go, we're going in."
This!
Tang San looked at Ye Fan's back, for a moment unable to utter any words.
Wasn't this Martial Soul simply too strong!?
A single sentence made this fellow unable to budge?
"Grandpa Jack, we're going in."
He spoke to Old Jack and hurriedly followed after Ye Fan.
Only Old Jack was left at the gate looking at this guard who for some reason couldn't move.
Seeing that he couldn't move, a coughing sound came from Old Jack's throat, and then he spat a mouthful right onto the guard's face.
"Bah, you dog-eyed snob, stand here and do your penance!"
Having said that, he only then left this place in satisfaction.
"Ye Fan, what was that just now..."
Walking along the road, Tang San asked Ye Fan about what had just happened.
He didn't understand how Ye Fan had possibly pulled that off.
Could that truly have been the power of a tongue Martial Soul?
Hearing this, Ye Fan struck a smug pose.
"You talking about that? Just a little discovery. I spent three whole days researching what my Martial Soul could actually do, and it seems pretty decent now."
[Hmph, in my past life, I could make Word Becomes Law a reality-a single sentence could turn the sun and moon upside down or shift mountains and rivers. What is mere binding supposed to amount to? I am merely reclaiming my former strength.]
After hearing Ye Fan's inner voice, Tang San swallowed hard.
This fellow was simply far too strong... Unless absolutely necessary, he should avoid a direct conflict with him.
Even though his footwork was nimble, it was impossible to dodge sound itself.
No, he needed to find time to concoct some poisons that could render a person mute, just in case...
Right at that moment, a voice came from behind the two of them.
"You two little kids, wait up!"
The two looked back to see a flat-topped man in a long robe, panting heavily as he chased after them from the direction of the front gates.
Ye Fan recognized him at a glance-this fellow was Yu Xiaogang.
Thinking of this, he once again projected his inner voice toward Tang San.
[*Yo, isn't this the grandmaster of Martial Soul Theory, Yu Xiaogang? In my past life, he was also Tang San's teacher.
How fortuitous... This time, let me also see how he manages to convince Tang San and make Tang San treat him like a godfather.*]
I'm going to make this man my godfather!?
Tang San felt a shock in his heart.
Someone who could be approved by him to such a degree had to be a man of genuine capability; otherwise, what right did he have to conquer him?
Thinking of this, he immediately began sizing up the man named Yu Xiaogang.
Seeing the two stop, Yu Xiaogang quickly adjusted his composure, turned to Tang San and Su Zhi, and said, "Little kids, can you let me see your Martial Soul certificates?"
It's here.
Ye Fan remained unmoved, while Tang San swiftly pulled out the Martial Soul certificate that had been stepped on earlier from his pocket and handed it to Yu Xiaogang.
Since Ye Fan had said as much, he had nothing left to doubt.
Yu Xiaogang scanned the certificate rapidly, a smile breaking across his stiff face.
"Blue Silver Grass, Innate Full Soul Power... As expected, you are the third person on this continent with Twin Martial Souls..."
Tang San: "!!!"
He actually figured it out just by glancing at the Martial Soul certificate!?
He truly has the qualifications to be my father... Bah, to be my teacher!
Yet Tang San kept his outward expression completely calm, even wearing a hint of skepticism.
"Teacher, how did you figure that out?"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang puffed out his chest and entered his professional domain, beginning a lengthy discourse on his theoretical knowledge that bluffed Tang San completely.
Ye Fan let out a bored yawn.
This Yu Xiaogang had simply stumbled upon the truth by blind luck, guessing the Twin Martial Souls correctly, but that alone was enough to manipulate Tang San.
Immediately afterward, Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with a meaningful expression.
"Little kid, a teacher and a teacher-the difference between them is vast. Unless... you are truly willing to let me be your teacher."
As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, Tang San dropped to his knees and kowtowed eagerly.
"I am willing!"
Seeing Tang San kowtow, Yu Xiaogang naturally felt joy in his heart.
"Good, good child, get up quickly, there's no need to kowtow."
Just as Tang San prepared to get up, Ye Fan's voice arrived right on cue.
[*Tch, so this is the process of getting Tang San to acknowledge a father. I thought there was something special to it! He just blundered his way into guessing that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls, which is why Tang San trusted this fellow so much in the future.
What a pity, this Grandmaster has terrible character; he's nothing more than a thief who plagiarized Spirit Hall's knowledge.
And in my past life, after Tang San left this place without taking him along, Yu Xiaogang harbored endless resentment toward him, muttering about it to everyone he met, almost calling Tang San an ungrateful and heartless villain.*]
Tang San: "..."
