"Damn it!" Tang San was dissatisfied, extremely dissatisfied. Old Jack had actually let the great Tang God King come to Nuoding Academy alone, and hadn't even prepared a carriage.
Damn it!
"Damn Old Jack! I'm the great God King, and you actually abandoned the task of escorting me, the God King, to Nuoding Academy, making me come alone, just because you had something to do halfway there. Damn it! Once I become a god, I'll teach you a good lesson and destroy Holy Soul Village!
"Aren't you proud of Holy Soul Village's glory? Aren't you proud of that Soul Saint's glory? Then I'll destroy that glory and show you just how great the great Tang God King is. Your glory is nothing but maggots in the dirt!"
As Tang San walked, he spoke angrily. Before long, he arrived at Nuoding Academy. Once he entered the city, he didn't dare say anything. After all, he was a God King reincarnated. Who would believe him if he said so? Besides, talking about it could easily expose information about himself.
To make sure he could clear the game perfectly, it was better to keep his identity as a Reincarnator secret.
Before long, Tang San reached Nuoding Academy and tried to go inside.
"This is Nuoding Academy, the place where Xiao Wu and I will be together. It's your good fortune that Xiao Wu and I will meet at this Academy. Once I become a god, I'll destroy Spirit Hall and inscribe a few words for your Academy."
Tang San thought haughtily.
But just as Tang San reached the entrance to Nuoding Academy, a gatekeeper came over. Seeing Tang San's haughty expression, the gatekeeper looked down on him. After all, Tang San's clothes really made him look like a poor kid.
"I'm here to attend Nuoding Academy. I'm a Work-Study Student this year, and I'm from Holy Soul Village. Could I be the one with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power...?"
Tang San finished speaking, but the gatekeeper thought it was simply hilarious.
"Seriously? Since when could a Trash Martial Soul have Innate Full Soul Power? Don't joke around, kid! You've probably just awakened a Trash Martial Soul with no Soul Power, and now you're trying to sneak your way in to study!
"Since when has a Trash Martial Soul been allowed to come here and study? If you want to get in, pay up!"
The gatekeeper simply wanted to extort some money. In plain terms, he was a bully who picked on the weak. As long as he could get some money, that was all that mattered. Even if the other person was dirt poor, he'd still squeeze a little out of them.
"You dare ask this God King for money? It's your good fortune that I came to your Academy in the first place! How dare you talk to me like that! Wait, I remember now. In my previous life, you were the one who stopped this God King from entering Nuoding Academy. You've got some nerve!"
Tang San recalled his previous life. Although ten thousand years had passed, he still remembered it clearly. When he'd first tried to join Nuoding Academy, this very gatekeeper had stopped him from entering.
He was simply asking for trouble, daring to antagonize the great Tang God King. He'd pay the price.
Without hesitation, Tang San attacked, activating his Soul Power and sending the gatekeeper flying into the Academy with a single blow.
"Ahhh! Impossible! You're clearly just a Trash Martial Soul, yet you have this kind of ability? You can actually use Soul Power!"
The gatekeeper couldn't believe that a useless kid could have such ability, and he began to grow afraid. But when he remembered Tang San was only a child, he stood up again and worked up his courage. Then he took out a stick, intending to beat Tang San. Just then, Yu Xiaogang arrived.
"What are you doing?" Yu Xiaogang walked over and looked at Tang San, then at the gatekeeper. He saw the gatekeeper holding a weapon and Tang San, who looked like an ordinary poor kid, and immediately guessed that the gatekeeper was trying to extort money from a Work-Study Student again.
The gatekeeper's behavior had long since become common knowledge. Lots of people knew about it.
The problem was that nobody did anything about it. Work-Study Students were just a bunch of poor people, and they wouldn't get on the bad side of the city's nobles anyway.
Even if Work-Study Students were extorted, no one would speak up for them, so nobody stopped it. Besides, it helped keep Work-Study Students in their place.
Many noble students and students from wealthy families chose to suppress Work-Study Students, to keep them from challenging their authority. So the gatekeeper's actions had also earned him the covert support of some noble students.
That was why the gatekeeper dared to act this way. Yu Xiaogang knew about it too. Things like this happened so often that they'd become commonplace.
"Child, what's your Martial Soul?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San curiously.
"Grandmaster, this person has a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, but he claims to have Innate Full Soul Power. Don't believe him. He's here to sneak into the Academy!"
"How can we let a Trash Martial Soul like that into the Academy? How could Innate Full Soul Power appear in a Trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass? How could someone have such a great talent as Innate Full Soul Power?"
"Grandmaster, you've heard of it, haven't you? Blue Silver Grass is the most useless Martial Soul on the entire Douluo Continent!"
"How could it possibly have Soul Power? Even if it did, it wouldn't exceed two levels. How could anyone cultivate Blue Silver Grass, let alone have Innate Full Soul Power? This person is just pretending to be a Work-Study Student so he can sneak into the Academy!"
"We should hurry up and kick him out. How could a Trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass be qualified to sneak into Nuoding Academy? Hurry up and kick him out!"
The gatekeeper was turning the tables on Tang San, simply to protect his own interests. He couldn't get any money and had even been hit-or, rather, attacked with Soul Power-so he was speaking this way out of a desire for revenge.
After all, what right did a bunch of Work-Study Students from poor villages have to pick on him, a city dweller? On the Douluo Continent, many city dwellers looked down on people from villages.
That was the Douluo Continent's hierarchy of contempt.
"Blue Silver Grass? A Trash Martial Soul?! Innate Full Soul Power?!!"
How could that be? How could a Trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass possibly have Innate Full Soul Power?! According to this Grandmaster's "Martial Soul Ten Core Competition Theory," a Trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass could never have Innate Full Soul Power!
Then there was only one possibility: this person had Twin Martial Souls. Only someone with Twin Martial Souls could have Innate Full Soul Power. It was possible this child also had a Top-Level Martial Soul!
Yu Xiaogang thought this to himself. If that were the case, he had to take the boy as his disciple as soon as possible. As long as he trained him well and made him a Titled Douluo, he could prove his theory. Then the entire continent would treat him as an honored guest, and the Two Great Empires would compete to invite him to serve as their national preceptor, giving him the status of one.
Just as Yu Xiaogang was thinking this, a voice suddenly entered his mind.
"You foolish Gangzi, you finally came!"
"???"
