Chapter 10 - Preventing Tang San from Taking a Master!

Two Gold Soul Coins for one Silver Soul Coin, enough to buy Tang San's greatest opportunity.

This deal was practically a steal! No!

He had to add fuel to the fire, completely cutting off all possibilities! Tang Lan's expression suddenly darkened.

"It's just that I don't earn much. After paying the two Gold Soul Coins for tuition, one Silver Soul Coin will probably only last you a few days of cultivation."

"It's okay, brother!" Tang San said emotionally, "I can find a job at the blacksmith shop and support myself!"

Tang Lan turned his head away guiltily, grinning slyly.

Now you'll have absolutely no free time to interact with Xiao Wu.

And with the Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Ring as a safeguard.

At least Xiao Wu,

is completely, and utterly, cut off from Tang San.

Tang San, completely unaware he was being scammed, was moved to tears. He was thinking that once he found a blacksmith job, he'd also craft a sleeve dart for his brother.

Outside the donkey cart, Old Jack listened and nodded repeatedly.

Tang Lan, as an elder brother, was responsible, while Tang Hao, that drunkard, was truly fortunate.

As for Tang San?

Well. With such a good brother doting on him like Tang Lan, there was no need for an old man like him to worry.

Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy was located to the west of Nuoding City.

Since Old Jack took office, Holy Soul Village hadn't produced a single Soul Master.

He didn't know the way.

After asking passersby multiple times, he finally arrived at his destination.

Just before arriving.

Tang Lan took out a set of new clothes and handed them to Tang San to wear.

"As a new student, you need to dress presentably, don't let other classmates look down on you."

Tang San was so moved, tears welled up in his eyes! Tang Lan's own clothes were patched up so many times! However. Tang Lan did this simply to prevent Tang San from being looked down upon by the gatekeeper, and consequently, running into "Master" Yu Xiaogang.

Although this guy was only famous in name, he was also Tang San's guide.

He had given Tang San a lot of help, and even resolved the conflict of his twin Martial Souls.

If it weren't for Xiao Wu being at this academy, and Nuoding City only having this one junior academy.

Tang Lan would have wanted to take Tang San to another academy.

After thinking for a moment. Tang Lan, still worried, gave another instruction—

"You can go register at the Spirit Hall first, then you can collect one Gold Soul Coin each month."

"And!"

"Absolutely do not tell anyone about your Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Blue Silver Grass is recognized as weak, and your abnormal phenomenon might cause your classmates to reject you."

"Cultivate well, and then surprise everyone with your success, proving them all wrong."

"Got it?"

Tang Lan's concern made Old Jack feel inferior.

He had thought of everything! Tang San nodded heavily, watching the donkey cart leave with tears in his eyes.

He secretly made up his mind—to make another sleeve dart for his brother! The donkey cart arrived at Nuoding Academy.

Just as it was about to enter,

the gate was suddenly slammed shut, and the young man guarding it looked disgusted.

"Is this a place for you country folk to come?"

Tang Lan got off the cart and didn't waste any words.

He directly activated his first Soul Ring.

The disguised yellow Soul Ring made the young gatekeeper's expression change drastically!

"Damn it!"

"He's a Soul Master?"

Looking at his age, he was only around six years old, and he was a genius!

As if performing a magic trick, he put on a fawning smile.

"Oh, little young master, it was my dog eyes that looked down on you, I deserve this!"

He gritted his teeth and slapped himself.

His face bore red marks from the force.

After all, he was just a commoner.

Killed by a genius Soul Master, so be it.

"Don't talk about my business to anyone outside,"

Tang Lan instructed—

"A kid with black hair will come to register later. Don't stop him, just guide him to register."

The gatekeeper youth didn't dare to refuse, nodding and bowing in agreement.

Not long after Tang Lan and the other left.

A middle-aged man returned from outside the school and glanced at the red marks on the gatekeeper youth's face.

"Causing trouble again, got hit?"

The gatekeeper youth was about to complain when he heard this.

But remembering Tang Lan's instructions, he changed his words.

"I had an argument with my wife. Thank you for your concern, Master."

Yu Xiaogang gave a cold glance and wasn't interested in asking further.

"Guard the gate properly, and don't always think about taking bribes."

After a scolding,

The Master walked into the campus, but his heart felt empty. It was as if... he had missed something important.

Inside the campus, Tang Lan simultaneously received a system prompt.

[Host has delayed Tang San's apprenticeship with Yu Xiaogang, seizing a moderate amount of Tang San's destiny!]

[Reward: "Moderate increase in Soul Beast Favorability"!]

Oh? It's just a delay? Indeed,

Tang San hadn't completely offended Yu Xiaogang, they just hadn't met yet.

Once they did meet, it would be like a dog returning to its vomit.

The Master, who had theories but couldn't verify them, would inevitably take Tang San as a disciple.

'Tsk!'

'Maybe I should think of a way to deal with the Master?'

A level 29 trash Martial Soul, killing it should be quite simple.

It might just attract the attention of Bibi Dong, that love-struck fool. As he was pondering,

Old Jack suddenly said, "Xiao Lan, your Soul Ring..."

"It was a Soul Beast my dad hunted for me when I went out to train," Tang Lan replied immediately.

Old Jack was even more shocked! Tang Hao helped hunt it? He didn't understand what a yellow Soul Ring meant, but it looked much more precious than Tang San's white Soul Ring, didn't it?

Tang Hao, that useless fellow, actually had this capability. Compared to the blind doorman, the teachers were much more civilized.

Even though they were surprised that Tang Lan's "trash Martial Soul," the Blue Silver Grass, actually had level 3 Innate Soul Power.

There was no scornful, cliché scene; they smoothly processed his admission as a work-study student.

After receiving his complimentary toiletries, he arrived at Dormitory Room Seven.

This was the unified accommodation for work-study students.

Not only were the conditions the worst, but the students were also mixed in age and gender.

While laying out a straw mat for Tang Lan,

Old Jack seemed to have pulled his back, his face pale.

Tang Lan noticed and immediately channeled his Nine Yang Divine Skill inner energy to him.

It easily healed the injury and even made him feel a bit more energetic.

"Is this Soul Power? It's truly miraculous," Old Jack marvelled, clicking his tongue. "You must study hard and strive to graduate officially."

He gave a few instructions.

Seeing other students returning to their rooms, Old Jack finally got up to leave.

The door had just closed.

A slightly older boy approached, looking down at Tang Lan's patched clothes.

"New work-study student?" the boy asked impolitely. "My name is Wang Sheng, my Martial Soul is the War Tiger, I'm a future War Soul Master, and I'm the boss here! Kid, state your name."

Oh! So this was a show of dominance.

Tang Lan raised a hand.

His Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor entwined and bound Wang Sheng tightly.

"Bang—"

He was smashed to the ground, unable to move.

With the enhancement of two 7,000-year Soul Rings, the resilience of the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor was no less than that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year plant soul beast.

No matter how Wang Sheng struggled, it was useless.

The people who were initially preparing to watch the show widened their eyes!

Wang Sheng was a senior student, and he was already kneeling?

Tang Lan scanned the surroundings, his gaze calm.

"My name is Tang Lan, and from now on, I'm the boss of Dorm Seven."

"You'll be under my protection, but you have to listen to me."

"Who agrees, who opposes?"

The group of children was silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to meet Tang Lan's gaze.

Tang Lan nodded with satisfaction.

He took out a Gold Soul Coin and threw it to one of them.

"Go, buy me a new set of bedding, and make sure it's the largest. Also, get brand new toiletries."

The person looked at the Gold Soul Coin in his hand and was stunned!

Being strong in combat could be considered genius.

But to give away a Gold Soul Coin so casually? With so much money, why come as a work-study student?

"Hm? Is there a problem?" Tang Lan raised an eyebrow.

The person quickly shook his head and rushed out the door.

"Hey! I'll help you!"

"Right!"

"Count me in!"

All the children ran out.

It seemed Tang Lan's "show of force" was very successful.

A pretty young girl walked in through the still-open door.

Her small face was fair with a rosy blush, her eyes bright and spirited, and the rabbit ear decoration on her head made her look even cuter.

It was Xiao Wu!
