Chapter 17 The Master Appears
Tang San was not feeling well after being knocked back by the flames of the explosion, but even if he was stunned, he could sense that the other party had stopped. Otherwise, with the temperature of the flames, he might have been burned so badly that he wouldn't even be able to go to school anymore.
Seeing that the other party no longer had any murderous intent, Xiao Yan picked up the certificate that had been thrown away from the ground and pretended to spread it out, pretending to look at the information inside.
"Brother Tang San, may I call you that? I am a student of Notting Academy just like you, and I come from Qing Shi Village."
Tang San, standing to the side, remained silent, staring intently at the crossbow bolt on the ground, which had been melted into molten iron by Xiao Yan's first soul skill and then solidified.
"Oh, so you're from Qing Shi Village. How's old George? Is he still in good health?" Old Jack picked up where Xiao Yan left off, taking the certificate he handed over.
"Thankfully, I'm as healthy as you, Grandpa."
Then Xiao Yan looked coldly at the gatekeeper: "Gatekeeper, has this young man failed in any manners? Why are you making things difficult for him?"
Having witnessed the other party's century-old soul ring, the doorman, who was clearly not a soul master, dared not utter a sound.
He was just a lowly gatekeeper in Notting City. Although he treated everyone according to their status, every new student who came to register would give him a little something. Few of them would come after him after becoming Soul Masters. Naturally, he had become arrogant at the gate of Notting Academy.
"No, that's not true, is it, Tang... little brother?" The doorman couldn't recall the other person's awkward name.
"I've looked at this little brother Tang San's information. He is indeed someone who will be enrolling in our academy. I even heard Master Matthew from the Spirit Hall mention him a while ago."
"Alright, whatever you say." The doorman nodded, bowed, and grinned sheepishly, his behavior both obsequious and obsequious, which was quite amusing.
"Thank you. May I ask your name? I, Tang San, will remember this favor."
Tang San finally came to his senses and changed his attitude. He realized that Xiao Yan had been the one to help him out of trouble the whole time. He never expected that on his very first day in Notting City, Xiao Yan would show him the power of a Soul Master.
"Xiao Yan".
Xiao Yan never expected that this matter would make his three sons owe him a favor. At most, his purpose in coming here was just to show his face.
However, it's not easy to get someone to say thank you, considering that the other person just tried to kill him.
"What happened here?" a slightly concerned voice asked.
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. Why was this guy here again?
The person who spoke was naturally Yu Xiaogang, who had been watching from a distance for a long time. Seeing that the situation was about right, he felt it was time for him to step forward and establish his authority in front of Xiao Yan and the new kid.
He walked out of the academy gate, looking at the ground blackened by the flames and the crowd who had calmed down.
"Hello, Master." The gatekeeper bowed and greeted him upon seeing him. "This is the child who is coming to enroll today."
"Enrollment should be a simple procedure, why does it take so long?"
"The misunderstanding has been cleared up, Master, there's no need to worry." Xiao Yan's tone was not as respectful as the gatekeeper's; in fact, it was somewhat rude.
Anyway, he's just an advisor at Notting College. If it weren't for keeping an eye on his three sons, he wouldn't even bother coming to study here. Who has time to play house with Gangzi here?
"Very well, Xiao Yan, once you see my academic theories, you'll know how precious it is to have a teacher like me," Yu Xiaogang thought to himself, not intending to argue with Xiao Yan's rudeness.
"It's good that it's resolved. Is everyone alright?" Yu Xiaogang forced out a concerned expression.
"Yes, Master, all the problems have been solved. You don't need to worry about it. These are children from our Holy Soul Village. Please take good care of them in the future."
"We'll take care of you, of course we will." Yu Xiaogang looked at the old man in front of him and the thin boy beside him, and squatted down.
He patted the boy's shoulder affectionately. Xiao Yan was known for his daily rigorous training, but today he had unexpectedly come to the academy gate to interfere in this matter. Something was definitely amiss. Yu Xiaogang even thought that this thin boy might be just as talented as Xiao Yan.
"Child, now that you've come to Notting Academy, you must be humble and eager to learn. What's your name, and what's your martial spirit?"
"Greetings, Master. My name is Tang San, and my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."
Although Yu Xiaogang hid it well enough, Tang San and Xiao Yan still caught the speechless look that he inadvertently revealed.
"It's alright. Blue Silver Grass has its own cultivation method. After all, there are no useless martial souls in this world. If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me."
"Thank you, Master." Tang San bowed and thanked him. He had already seen that the slovenly man in front of him was just being polite because of his relationship with Xiao Yan.
Seeing that he was out of danger, Old Jack put down his luggage and said goodbye to Tang San.
"Xiao Yan, aren't you in a hurry to cultivate today? Why are you still waiting here?" Yu Xiaogang put his hands behind his back and spoke slowly, looking every bit like a mentor.
"Master, if you're not in a hurry to study the theory of martial souls, why don't you just stay here?" Xiao Yan's annoyance was not without reason. If he were just the Yu Xiaogang he remembered, he would only be proposing some wrong theories and would not be considered to be misleading students.
These things wouldn't have made Xiao Yan's attitude so bad; at most, he just disliked him. But this Yu Xiaogang, ever since he noticed him, has been following his every move and even brazenly said that he wanted to study the structure of the Rolling Ball Beast.
Why doesn't he conjure up Luo Sanpao to study it? Besides, the first spirit ring he helped Tang San obtain with all his might was ultimately obtained by Tang San's own hidden weapons. Thinking of Brother Yong, a level 14 spirit master, he could fight against a hundred-year-old spirit beast. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yan no longer takes him seriously.
"Immersing yourself in knowledge is important, but occasionally taking a break can help broaden your thinking, hahaha."
The doorman stared in disbelief at Yu Xiaogang, who was forcing a smile. This self-pitying master had never shown a smile since the first time he met him.
"Xiao Yan, you should think carefully about what I'm about to tell you. The matter of choosing a master is extremely important. A good master can guide you on your path to becoming a Soul Master without any obstacles."
"Yes, Master, that's why I need to think about it even more carefully. Come on, Brother Tang San, I'll take you to the dormitory. We work-study students all live there."
"Okay." Tang San watched Jack leave and looked at the three people present. Indeed, only Xiao Yan, with his handsome features, remained.
Yu Xiaogang wanted to reveal something to Tang San, but the two children slipped away too quickly. He opened his mouth slightly, but Xiao Yan left without looking back.
"By the way, gatekeeper, my soul skill just now seems to have caused some damage to the floor in front of our academy gate. Please take this money and find someone to repair it." Xiao Yan took out a money pouch from his sleeve and tossed it to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper accepted it and smiled knowingly.
This was something he and Xiao Yan had agreed upon. Xiao Yan instructed him to treat the people from Holy Soul Village with special care today and to be careful that the child might try to kill them.
Although there was indeed a moment when I felt my life was in danger, thankfully I was alright. Who would turn down money?
"Brother Xiao Yan, was that master really that amazing?"
"What master? These days, not just anyone can be called a master."
The voices of Xiao Yan and the other person drifted to Yu Xiaogang's ears from afar. His forehead veins throbbed, but he managed to adjust his mindset in a few breaths.
"Blue Silver Grass is nothing but a useless martial soul. What future can it have?" Yu Xiaogang said, watching the two people and one beast disappear into the distance with his hands behind his back.
"But Master, that child from Holy Soul Village is no ordinary person either; he possesses innate full soul power." The gatekeeper had naturally noticed some information on Tang San's certificate.
"What did you say?" Yu Xiaogang grabbed the doorman's collar, realizing his lapse in composure, he quickly let go and coughed.
"Blue Silver Grass cannot be born with full soul power, so this child named Tang San must be extraordinary as well."
Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, you are so lucky that you can find a genius just by going out.
Since you refuse to become my disciple, then I will train this young man of Blue Silver Grass to be even stronger than you.
