"Silly child, you only need to kneel before a king or your parents."
"To take someone as your master, a bow is enough!"
Yu Xiaogang had discovered that he really had managed to fool a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls.
A trace of a satisfied smile appeared on his stiff face. He stepped forward and helped Tang San up, feeling quite pleased with himself.
That damned brat with a fate-type Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power.
When this Grandmaster offered to take him as a disciple, he actually had eyes but failed to see and refused to become my disciple.
Now this Grandmaster has taken in a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls. Isn't he far better than you?!
"Come on! I'll take you to the academic affairs office to register!"
With that, Yu Xiaogang prepared to take Tang San to the academic affairs office to register.
But just as he turned around, he caught sight of Xu Nuo. He froze for a moment, hardly daring to believe it.
That brat didn't go back to Spirit City?
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Beside him, Tang San asked in confusion.
"Nothing. I just saw a child I know."
Yu Xiaogang shook his head and spoke with a feigned sigh.
"Who is he?"
"Teacher, do you know him?"
Tang San asked curiously.
"That child, like you, is a genius with Innate Full Soul Power."
"I wanted to take him as a disciple too."
"But perhaps because my cultivation was too low, the child looked down on me."
"So he refused."
A trace of a bitter smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face as he shook his head.
Hearing this, Tang San immediately frowned and looked at Xu Nuo, a trace of hostility flashing in his eyes.
A teacher for a day is a father for life!
Teacher's knowledge reaches the heavens, and his wisdom would astonish the world.
The moment we met, he could tell from a Martial Soul certificate that I had Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls.
Such talent would shock the world one day!
That fellow actually dared to look down on Teacher!
Hmph! He already had a way to take death!
"Teacher, you don't need to be sad!"
"Teacher, I believe your wisdom and talent will shock the world one day!"
Tang San comforted him earnestly.
"I hope so!"
But Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat uneasy. He gave a wry smile and shook his head.
Noticing that Tang San seemed somewhat hostile toward Xu Nuo, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly cautioned him.
"Little San, that child is free to choose not to take me as his teacher."
"Don't hold it against him."
"Though that child's talent is a little weaker than yours, and he doesn't have Innate Full Soul Power,"
"His Martial Soul is a rare fate-type Martial Soul. You could call it the strongest support-type Martial Soul!"
"What's more, his Martial Soul can grant wishes."
"You'd better get on good terms with him. He might be able to help you in the future!"
"Teacher!"
Tang San's eyes reddened at those words, and his heart filled with emotion.
Teacher truly is worthy of being Teacher.
He really is broad-minded and far-sighted!
Even though that fellow refused to become Teacher's disciple and made Teacher lose face,
Teacher doesn't mind at all. For my sake, he even told me to get on good terms with him.
Is this what it means when parents love their child, they plan far ahead for him?
Though Teacher isn't my parent,
His concern for me is no less!
"What are those two guys muttering about?"
Not far away, Xu Nuo noticed Tang San and Yu Xiaogang looking at him. He had no idea what they had said, but they looked like a deeply devoted teacher and disciple.
Xu Nuo scratched his head and wondered to himself.
As Xu Nuo approached,
Yu Xiaogang led Tang San onward to the academic affairs office, ready to register.
But Xu Nuo had already asked Ma Xiunuo to take care of his enrollment procedures as a work-study student at Nuoding Academy in advance.
He didn't go to the academic affairs office to register, but headed straight for Dorm Seven in the dormitory building.
Before long, Xu Nuo had climbed to the seventh floor and arrived outside Dorm Seven.
The dorm was spacious and filled with beds.
A group of boys, ranging in age from seven to eleven or twelve, had gathered together and were chatting animatedly.
When Xu Nuo entered Dorm Seven,
the work-study students all stopped and turned to look at him, somewhat stunned.
Xu Nuo smiled and greeted them.
"Hello, I'm a new work-study student!"
"You... you really are a work-study student?!"
The oldest and tallest boy among them stepped forward, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Your clothes don't look like it!"
"Even those noble students don't seem to dress as nicely as you."
Xu Nuo gave a modest smile and said,
"I really am a work-study student. Not one of my parents or relatives is a noble."
"I was just a little luckier and got adopted by a Lord Soul Master."
Xu Nuo didn't think he was lying.
There really were no nobles among his parents and relatives.
And how did being adopted by Qian Daoliu not count as being adopted by a Lord Soul Master?
"So that's how it is!"
"You're really lucky!"
The work-study students understood at once, their eyes full of envy.
The tallest of them folded his arms across his chest and put on a proud expression.
"My name is Wang Sheng. I'm the boss of Dorm Seven right now."
"What's your name?"
"Since you're a work-study student too, let's have a contest between men, according to Dorm Seven's rules!"
"Whoever wins will be the boss of Dorm Seven!"
"No, no, no!"
Xu Nuo waved his hands and refused.
"I won't compete!"
"I'm a support-type Soul Master. My Martial Soul is called the Wishing Divine Lamp, and it's a support-type Martial Soul."
"Although it can grant wishes, it has no fighting power."
"A support-type Soul Master? What kind of Soul Master is that?"
A boy beside them paused and scratched his head.
Wang Sheng, however, knew what one was and was a little surprised.
"You're a support-type Soul Master? That's rare!"
"There aren't any support-type Soul Masters at Nuoding Academy."
"Since you're a support-type Soul Master, you really don't have much fighting power. Let's forget the match!"
"But your Martial Soul is called the Wishing Divine Lamp. Can it really grant wishes?"
"Why does that sound a little too outlandish?"
Wang Sheng still found it hard to believe.
But before Xu Nuo could answer,
footsteps sounded at the door, and Tang San arrived.
"Hello, is this Dorm Seven?"
Unlike Xu Nuo,
Tang San couldn't escape the fate of fighting Wang Sheng.
Facing Tang San, who had been a Tang Sect assassin in his previous life and was proficient in the Tang Sect Secret Arts,
Wang Sheng was naturally no match for him.
"Tang San, you're amazing!"
"From now on, you're the boss of Dorm Seven!"
After Tang San knocked him to the floor,
Wang Sheng grimaced as he climbed up, ready to step down and yield his place to someone more worthy, letting Tang San become the boss.
Tang San naturally didn't want the position.
Just then, a clear voice came from outside the door.
"Um, is this Dorm Seven?"
Everyone turned to see a pretty, adorable little girl standing in the doorway. She wore a pink dress, and her long, jet-black hair was braided into a scorpion-tail braid behind her.
It was Xiao Wu!
Afterward, Wang Sheng urged Tang San to have a fight with Xiao Wu.
In the end, Xiao Wu won.
Watching Tang San and Xiao Wu's great battle, Xu Nuo sat on the edge of a bed, eating melon as he took out an apple and bit into it. He could only sigh to himself.
Thank goodness I used being a support-type Soul Master as a reason not to fight Wang Sheng.
Otherwise, I'd have to fight Assassin San and the violent rabbit in a little while.
For an ordinary person like me, wouldn't that be asking for a beating?!
"Hee-hee! I won!"
"From now on, I'm the big sister of Dorm Seven!"
After defeating Tang San,
Xiao Wu planted her delicate hands on her hips. Her pretty little face was full of excitement and happiness as she giggled.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the dormitory.
A young teacher with dark green hair approached, carrying a bundle of bedding. He first asked,
"Which of you are Tang San and Xiao Wu?"
After Tang San and Xiao Wu raised their hands,
the young teacher, Mo Hen, first gave the bedding he was carrying to Tang San. He then assigned Tang San and Xiao Wu their work-study jobs before leaving.
But when Xiao Wu noticed that Tang San had bedding and she didn't,
she froze.
"Why do all of you have bedding?"
"Sister Xiao Wu, you have to buy your own bedding!"
"The academy doesn't hand it out!"
Wang Sheng answered somewhat helplessly.
"Buy bedding?"
"That takes those soul coins, doesn't it?"
"But I don't think I have any!"
Xiao Wu seemed to have thought of something and was rather dumbfounded.
Wang Sheng and the other work-study students were all stunned.
No way!
These days, was there really someone who went away to school without a single coin on them?
But then Wang Sheng suddenly thought of Xu Nuo and hurriedly said to Xiao Wu,
"Sister Xiao Wu, Xu Nuo has the Wishing Magic Lamp Martial Soul. He says it can grant wishes."
"Do you want to try making a wish to Xu Nuo's Martial Soul?"
