Qian Yu and Tang San walked in.
"Wait a minute!"
Just then, a voice rang out.
Qian Yu turned around and saw a man of medium build, slightly thin, who had somehow appeared beside them.
He looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with short black hair parted in a 3/7 ratio. His appearance was quite ordinary, and although he had his hands behind his back, he possessed a unique aura, with a hint of laziness and decadence in his eyes.
Based on the upcoming plot, Qian Yu knew that this guy was probably Yu Xiaogang, the number one scumbag in Douluo Continent.
Qian Yu disliked Yu Xiaogang even more.
Although he, Qian Yu, had lived nine lifetimes in Douluo Continent and had had many women,
he had always included them in his harem and had not wronged any of them.
This Yu Xiaogang was different.
He had wronged Bibi Dong and was even with his own blood-related sister.
Qian Yu felt utterly disgusted by such scum.
Moreover, this Yu Xiaogang called himself a master, and even claimed to be the number one theorist in Douluo Continent.
Because his own strength was insufficient, he used Tang San to prove his theories, and Tang San, of course, became his sycophant.
Indeed, this must be called birds of a feather flocking together.
In short, Qian Yu didn't want to have any further contact with this "master." Besides,
Qian Yu had read the Douluo Continent novel. Although he had experienced the ancient times, he had personally practiced a great deal in this world.
Therefore, his understanding of martial soul theories was definitely no less than that of this scumbag Yu Xiaogang.
He didn't believe that his nine lifetimes of godhood were inferior to the meager research of a mortal.
Therefore, Qian Yu's eyes were filled with disdain when facing the master.
"Hello, teacher, is there anything I can help you with?" Tang San, unlike Qian Yu, liked to fawn over everyone.
Just like when Qian Yu first arrived, Tang San also tried to fawn over Qian Yu,
but was rejected by Qian Yu's cold attitude.
Tang San, being quite cunning, sensed that this "Grandmaster" was someone of importance within the school and wanted to leverage his influence.
Therefore, upon seeing the Grandmaster approach, he immediately greeted him politely.
The Grandmaster said, "I'm just a guest here, eating and drinking for free. Call me Grandmaster like everyone else. Everyone calls me that. I've even forgotten my own name."
"By the way, could you let me see your Spirit Proof?" the Grandmaster immediately asked with a smile.
The Grandmaster had previously witnessed Qian Yu's extraordinary abilities.
Therefore, he wanted to rely on Qian Yu to prove his theories, which was why he had eagerly approached him.
Qian Yu calmly replied, "No need. My proof was issued by the Spirit Hall. Since you're not a teacher at this academy, there's no need for me to show it to you."
Hearing Qian Yu's cold words,
a hint of shock appeared in the Grandmaster's eyes.
He hadn't expected this child to dare speak to him like that.
Even though he wasn't a teacher at this academy, he was an adult, not someone a child could easily talk back to.
However, remembering his earlier behavior of hitting the gatekeeper, Yu Xiaogang still felt a lingering fear.
Just then, Tang San immediately handed over the Spirit Hall's certificate.
Instantly, a glint of light appeared in Grandmaster's eyes.
He looked at Tang San excitedly .
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Grandmaster calmed himself down and looked at Tang San
, saying, "Don't call me teacher. 'Grandmaster' and 'teacher' have completely different meanings. Don't get it wrong in the future. Unless…" He trailed off, his eyes flashing with a burning light, "Unless you really want me to be your teacher."
"Will you teach me how to cultivate spirits?" Tang San asked.
Grandmaster stopped and stood facing Tang San. "Then are you willing?"
Tang San naturally stopped as well, looking up at Grandmaster. Observing him up close, he noticed that Grandmaster's mouth was rather large, and his lips were quite thick. He didn't speak, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Grandmaster looked at Tang San's blank stare and his stiff smile returned. "Alright, you are indeed a clever child."
His silence had two meanings: first, he wasn't in a hurry to refuse, lest he offend Grandmaster; second, he was using his actions to ask Grandmaster, "Why should I become your disciple?
" Grandmaster raised his hand and ruffled Tang San's hair. "Exceptionally talented and so clever, it seems I must persist this time. After all, you are only the third person in the last hundred years to possess twin martial souls."
Hearing Grandmaster's words, Tang San was startled, his gaze shifting instantly, his left wrist subtly rising, his eyes revealing a look of doubt and uncertainty.
Grandmaster looked at him calmly and smiled. "Aren't you wondering how I knew you possess twin martial souls?"
As he spoke, he shook the certificate Old Jack had given him. "It's because of this certificate. Perhaps others can't see the flaws, but if I can't see them either, then I don't deserve the title of 'Grandmaster.'"
"I once investigated 647 people whose martial soul was Blue Silver Grass. Among them, only 16 possessed soul power, a probability of less than 3%. And even among those 16, none had soul power exceeding level one, while you possess innate, full soul power at level ten.
According to one of the ten core competitive advantages of martial souls that I've researched—that innate soul power is directly proportional to martial soul quality—Blue Silver Grass clearly doesn't meet that requirement. Therefore, I can be certain that you must have another martial soul, and a very powerful one at that."
Tang San's eyes gradually calmed as he argued, "Everything..." "There are exceptions, so why can't I be one?"
The master nodded seriously and said, "That's right, there are always exceptions, but your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, so you are clearly not that exception.
In the last hundred years, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire have only had two people with twin martial souls, but they have had nineteen people with innate full soul power.
I have carefully studied the martial souls of each of them, and they are all powerful beings. The youngest one has now reached the level of a Great Soul Master. Apart from fourteen people who inherited powerful martial souls through family bloodlines, there are five exceptions."
"Their origins are not noble, but they still possess innate full soul power. And this kind of accident is the existence of mutated martial souls. And based on my many years of research on mutated martial souls, no martial soul can mutate with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul."
"And your Blue Silver Grass martial soul is just ordinary Blue Silver Grass, so I can be completely certain that my judgment is correct."
"So, are you willing to become my disciple?" Grandmaster asked, looking at Tang San.
