Chapter 10: Stopping Tang San from Taking a Master! Seizing a Moderate Amount of Luck!
Two gold soul coins and one silver soul coin could buy Tang San's greatest opportunity.
This deal was simply a huge profit!
Not enough!
He needed to add more fuel and completely cut off every possibility!
Tang Lan suddenly looked gloomy.
"It's just that I didn't earn much money. After paying the two gold soul coins for tuition, that one silver soul coin probably will only support a few days of your cultivation…"
"It's okay, Brother!" Tang San said emotionally. "I can find a job at a blacksmith shop and support myself!"
Tang Lan turned his head away guiltily, grinning secretly.
Now you definitely won't have time to interact with Xiao Wu.
And with the Softbone Rabbit soul ring as insurance.
At the very least Xiao Wu was now completely destined to have nothing to do with Tang San.
Tang San had no idea he had been tricked.
He was deeply moved and thought that once he found a job at the blacksmith shop, he would also make a sleeve arrow for his brother.
Outside the donkey cart,Old Jack nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Tang Lan, as an older brother, had responsibility. That drunkard Tang Hao was really fortunate.
As for Tang San?
Well…
with such a good older brother doting on him, there was no need for an old man like him to worry.
Notting Junior Soul Master Academy was located on the west side of Notting City.
Since Old Jack became the village head, Holy Soul Village had not produced a soul master.
He didn't know the way.
After asking passersby several times, they finally arrived at their destination.
Before they reached the entrance, Tang Lan took out a new set of clothes and handed them to Tang San.
"New students should dress decently. Don't let other classmates look down on you."
Tang San was so touched that tears welled in his eyes!
Tang Lan himself was wearing clothes with several patches!
However…
Tang Lan only did this so Tang San wouldn't be looked down upon by the gatekeeper and accidentally meet "Grandmaster" Yu Xiaogang during the commotion.
Although that guy had a hollow reputation, he was still Tang San's guide.
He gave Tang San quite a lot of help and even solved the twin martial soul conflict.
If Xiao Wu wasn't in this academy, and if Notting City didn't only have this one junior academy,
Tang Lan would have taken Tang San to another school.
After thinking about it,
Tang Lan still wasn't at ease and added another reminder—
"You should go register at the Spirit Hall first. That way you'll receive a monthly soul coin subsidy."
"And!"
"Absolutely do not tell anyone that you have full innate soul power!"
"Blue Silver Grass is widely recognized as weak. Your abnormal case might cause rejection from classmates."
"Train well and amaze everyone later."
"Understood?"
Tang Lan's careful concern made Old Jack feel inferior.
He had thought everything through!
Tang San nodded heavily, watching the donkey cart leave with tears in his eyes.
He secretly made another decision—to make another sleeve arrow for his brother!
The donkey cart arrived at Notting Academy.
Just as it was about to enter,
the gate suddenly slammed shut. The young gatekeeper looked at them with disdain.
"Is this a place where country bumpkins like you can come?"
Tang Lan got off the cart and didn't waste words.
He directly released his first soul ring.
The disguised yellow soul ring made the gatekeeper's face change drastically!
Damn!
A soul master?!
Judging from his age, he was only about six—he was a genius!
His expression instantly changed to a flattering smile.
"Oh, young master! I was blind and ignorant. I deserve punishment!"
He slapped himself.
With such force that a red mark appeared on his face.
After all,
he was just a commoner.
If a genius soul master killed him, that was that.
"Don't spread anything about me."
Tang Lan instructed.
"Later a child with dark blue hair will come to register. Don't stop him. Just lead him to enrollment."
The gatekeeper didn't dare object and nodded repeatedly.
Not long after Tang Lan and the others left, a middle-aged man returned from outside and noticed the red mark on the gatekeeper's face.
"Troubled someone again and got beaten?"
The gatekeeper was about to complain.
But remembering Tang Lan's warning, he changed his words.
"I argued with my wife. Thank you for your concern, Grandmaster."
Yu Xiaogang glanced at him coldly and didn't care to ask further.
"Guard the gate properly. Don't always think about taking bribes."
After giving a brief lecture,the Grandmaster walked into the academy.
But he felt strangely empty.
As if…
he had missed something very important.
Inside the academy, Tang Lan also received a system notification.
[The host delayed Tang San's apprenticeship under Yu Xiaogang, seizing a moderate amount of Tang San's luck!]
[Reward: Moderate increase in soul beast favorability!]
Oh?
Only delayed?
Well…
Tang San hadn't truly offended Yu Xiaogang, they just hadn't met yet.
Once they encountered each other, just like a dog can't stop eating filth, the Grandmaster—who only had theories but no practical verification—would definitely take Tang San as his disciple.
Tsk!
Maybe he should find a way to get rid of the Grandmaster?
A level 29 with defective martial soul wouldn't be hard to kill.
The only concern was attracting Bibi Dong's attention…
He was still thinking when Old Jack suddenly said, "Xiao Lan, that soul ring of yours…"
"It's from a soul beast Dad hunted for me when I went out training," Tang Lan said casually.
Old Jack was even more shocked!
Tang Hao hunted it?
He didn't know what a yellow soul ring meant, but it definitely looked more precious than Tang San's white soul ring!
That useless Tang Hao actually had such ability?
Compared to the blind gatekeeper, the teachers were much more civilized.
Even though they were surprised that Tang Lan's "trash martial soul" Blue Silver Grass had level 3 innate soul power,
there was no cliché ridicule.
He smoothly completed his work-study student registration.
After receiving free school supplies, he arrived at Dormitory Seven.
The dormitory for work-study students.
Not only were the conditions the worst, it also mixed grades and even genders.
While spreading the straw mat for Tang Lan,Old Jack seemed to strain his back and turned pale.
Tang Lan noticed it immediately and sent Nine Yang internal energy into him.
The pain was easily healed, and his spirit even improved.
"So this is soul power? Truly amazing," Old Jack marveled. "You must study well and graduate successfully…"
After giving a few reminders,Old Jack left once other students began returning to the dorm.
The door had just closed when an older boy walked over and looked down at Tang Lan's patched clothes.
"New work-study student?" the boy said arrogantly. "My name is Wang Sheng. My martial soul is Battle Tiger. I'll become a battle soul master in the future—and I'm the boss here! Kid, report your name."
Oh?
A show of dominance?
Tang Lan raised his hand.
The Fate Blue Silver Emperor wrapped around Wang Sheng.
Bang!
He was slammed to the ground and couldn't move.
With the support of two 7000-year soul rings, the Fate Blue Silver Emperor's toughness was no weaker than ordinary ten-thousand-year plant soul beasts.
No matter how Wang Sheng struggled, it was useless.
The students who had been watching widened their eyes!
Wang Sheng was a senior student, and he was defeated instantly?
Tang Lan glanced around calmly.
"My name is Tang Lan. From now on, I'm the boss of Dorm Seven."
"You'll be under my protection, but you must listen."
"Who agrees? Who objects?"
The group of children stood silent as mice, not daring to meet his gaze.
Tang Lan nodded in satisfaction.
He took out a gold soul coin and tossed it to one of them.
"Go buy me a new set of bedding. The biggest one."
"And brand-new toiletries."
The boy stared at the gold soul coin in disbelief!
Strong combat ability could be called talent.
But—
casually giving away gold soul coins?
If he was that rich, why become a work-study student?
"Hmm? Problem?" Tang Lan raised an eyebrow.
The boy shook his head frantically and ran out.
"Hey! I'll help too!"
"Right!"
"Count me in!"
All the kids ran off.
It seemed Tang Lan's "show of force" had worked well.
Through the still-open door, a lively little girl walked in.
Her face was rosy and fair, her eyes bright and lively, and the rabbit-ear decoration on her head made her even cuter.
It was Xiao Wu!
