'Alright, it must be that kid.' A middle aged man with a buzz cut and a beard thought to himself as he walked out of where he had been standing for some time and started walking towards where a little drama was happening :'I just need to act like I've been planning to do it. If everything goes well, I'll finally be able to get a genius disciple! And once I do that, I'll finally be able to use him to prove my excellence to the world!'
"Seriously, how desperate are you?!" The young guard ridiculed with a look of disdain :"If it was any other Martial Soul, I would at least not be so doubtful. But you're saying that Blue Silver Grass, which is the one of the trashiest Martial Souls, actually awakened with Innate Full Soul Power?!"
The moment his words fell, so did the temperature around Ah Li. But he was the only one who felt it. Because he was the only one who could see and feel Bibi Dong. The moment Bibi Dong heard what the guard said, the rage inside of her that had calmed down lately immediately resurfaced when she looked at the boy next to the old man :"What the fuck did he just say?"
'Hiss...' Ah Li curled his lips and couldn't help but curse the guard in his heart :'Couldn't your bitch ass just keep your mouth shut?! Now she's mad! Sigh, oh well, I knew this would happen when I decided to bring her for the drama...'
"You! Y-you!" While gritting his teeth, the old man pointed at the guard with rage and a trembling hand :"You're being too much! We aren't lying! Xiao San really does have Innate Full Soul Power! It's clearly said in the Martial Soul Hall's letter!"
'Oh boy...' And with the identity revealed, the rage inside of Bibi Dong immediately exploded like a volcano :"So it is you, Tang San! Damn it, you son of a bitch!! I want to kill you! I want you fucking dead! I want you ripped and torn to pieces so you won't even die with a full fucking corpse!!!"
While the gorgeous goddess was constantly swinging her punches at the black haired little boy who was incomparable to Ah Li in looks with an angry face that would scare even demons, Ah Li just tried to ignore her with curled lips since none of the hits did anything. After all, she was only an unawakened Martial Soul at the moment, and this was her Spiritual Consciousness that couldn't deliver any damage.
Once she was awakened, she might be able to deliver immense spiritual (mental) damage since even though she doesn't have a body, she still has the soul and Spiritual Consciousness of an actual 1st Class God! But at the moment, she couldn't do anything.
After the argument went for a bit longer, and the guard tried to use force to drive the two villagers away, Tang San finally made a move. The moment Tang San gathered his Soul Power at his hand, a tingling sensation appeared in the back of Ah Li's head.
His Prey Instinct acted up.
Immediately taking a step aside to get out of the way, he saw the guard get shot away and into the school yard when Tang San struck, causing the gate to open once he hit it. Ah Li simply watched without a change in his expression. Just leisurely watching the situation. But inside, he smiled when Bibi Dong stopped trying to hit Tang San.
She looked pissed as all hell though.
The guard, embarrassed by being hit by a simple child, immediately got up and rushed towards the black haired boy with a lighter shade of black in his hair. However, the moment he did, Ah Li felt another tingling sensation in the back of his head caused by his Prey Instinct.
By instinct provided by his Innate Ability, Ah Li immediately figured out that the danger came from Tang San. To be specific, his left hand. The hand which was raised and pointed at the incoming guard.
His action honestly left Ah Li speechless :'You serious? The poor guy was just doing his job and trying to drive away suspicious people. Although he did talk a bit too much, are you seriously going to kill him just for that? Talk about overdramatic and being an emo.'
"Alright, enough." But just as the guard was rushing towards Tang San, a voice suddenly stopped him. Hearing the ugly and unpleasant voice, Ah Li immediately knew who it was :'Hmph, finally coming out of your hiding spot?'
Unlike Bibi Dong who hadn't been paying attention before seeing Tang San, Ah Li had been keeping an eye out ever since he was close to this place. Even in the original, it was obvious that the appearance of Yu Xiaogang wasn't a coincidence. Obviously, the bastard had been waiting all day for Tang San to come. After all, today was the last day of admission, and if he didn't show up today, things would be troublesome. He wouldn't be surprised if he found out Yu Xiaogang had been outside of Nuoding Academy everyday for some time.
Ah Li was pretty nonchalant on the outside, despite his disgust and contempt inside. However, Bibi Dong wasn't the same. The moment she heard that cursed voice, her eyes immediately turned red in pure rage and anger as a bloodlust that made Ah Li shiver escaped her :"Ahhh!!!! I want to kill you!! I want to fucking slaughter you both!!!! Yu Xiaogang, I want to guy you like a fish!! I want you to suffer a fate worse than death!!!"
While Bibi Dong kept cursing and attacking the newcomer without hesitation, Yu Xiaogang continued walking towards them. Hearing the voice, the only other person who knew him, the guard, immediately smiled :"You're back, master?"
He, who was completely unaware of Bibi Dong continuously cursing and attacking him, walked over arrogantly and passed the two villagers before turning around. With his two hands behind him he looked at the old man :"Mister, can you show me the letter from Martial Soul Hall?"
Although hidden very well, Ah Li, who was extremely sensitive to hostility because of his two Innate Abilities, actually managed to sense the hate in Yu Xiaogang's voice when he said "Martial Soul Hall". And hearing that resentment, the disdain in Ah Li's heart grew even more. Bibi Dong didn't notice Yu Xiaogang's hostility though. She was far too blinded by anger. He wasn't going to ask her to calm down though.
He wasn't suicidal.
"It's genuine." Yu Xiaogang said when he checked the letter. Bowing his head slightly, he apologized to the old man :"Mister, I apologize on behalf of the school on what happened just now. Hand this kid to me."
"Ahahaha, there's no need to say sorry." Old Jack waved his hand dismissively with a pleasant mood :"We're at fault too. I'll leave this kid to you then." And then turned to Tang San while the guard fully opened the gates :"Xiao San, follow this master. I'll fetch you once the term is over."
"Goodbye, grandpa Jack! I'll put effort into my studies!" Tang San waved goodbye once old Jack turned around and left. Seeing Yu Xiaogang walking in, Tang San followed along with Ah Li. When Yu Xiaogang reached the guard who was standing aside, he looked at him with a sharp and arrogant face :"I'll excuse you, but for the last time. If you get caught again, just leave."
'The fuck???' As Yu Xiaogang continued walking with Tang San next to him, Ah Li a little behind them couldn't help complaining in confusion and disdain :'Who the fuck are you to talk shit like that, Mr freeloader? The nerve.'
But with an annoyed shake of his head, he just kept following. Nothing interesting happened after that. Well, Bibi Dong managed to calm down. She still looked like she wanted to slaughter the two though. But other than that, nothing. The original interaction between the two retards just went on with Yu Xiaogang, who acted like some hot garbage with his useless knowledge, successfully fooling Tang San into becoming his disciple.
Like, seriously, what good is knowing how many people have awakened Blue Silver Grass as their Martial Souls is going to bring? You seriously wasted your time studying over 600 people with Trash Martial Souls? Are you dumb or something?
Also, it seemed he had been planning to try and lure Ah Li into his trap as well. After all, two is better than one, and he can experiment more. The child not only had an extremely charming appearance that would definitely give birth to unimaginable looks in the future, but he also had a calm temperament unnatural to a child of his age. Just from looking at the two children who didn't act like their age at all, it was obvious that neither of them were normal.
One was calm and collected. The other one was nonchalant and unbothered.
So since Ah Li saw that he was pulled into the conversation, he simply stayed and watched the stupid drama close up. He honestly felt annoyed that he didn't buy any popcorn. Although stupid, watching two retards who he hates act dumb as hell was very amusing.
But when he saw Tang San actually getting on his knees and kneeling in front of Yu Xiaogang, Ah Li was seriously disappointed :'This bastard is an embarrassment to every reincarnated person ever...'
After Yu Xiaogang helped him up, he nodded with a satisfied smile :"Good, good! Then Xiao San, from now on, you shall be my first disciple! I will try my best to teach you to grow into an extraordinary individual. I just hope that you'll train hard as well."
"Of course, master! I'll do my best to live up to your expectations." After Tang San nodded with a serious face, his expression eased as he turned to Ah Li :"Friend, why don't you ask to become master's disciple as well? You saw it just now yourself. Master is an extraordinary individual with immense knowledge!"
Ah Li was going to refuse. Obviously, he was going to refuse. No way in hell would he become a garbage's disciple. He was still planning to become Pope Bibi Dong's disciple after his Martial Soul had evolved and his telnet had been strengthened with the Immortal Herbs. But he wasn't quick enough to refuse.
"Well, if he wants to, of course I'll accept him as a disciple as well." Yu Xiaogang nodded with a smile, feeling immense satisfaction inside for obtaining a genius Twin Martial Souls Soul Master and perhaps obtaining another child who might be another genius :"Tell me, child, what is your name and Martial Soul?"
Ah Li knew of Yu Xiaogang's character. Although he looked for a disciple to test his theories on, he was still someone who wouldn't accept mediocrity. He wanted his name to be known around the entire continent. But he couldn't do that himself, so he needed his disciple to do that. And so, this was an actual bastard who thought that he deserved only geniuses as his disciples.
"Mister, my name is Ah Li and I'm 6 years old. My Martial Soul is the Abyssal Centipede, and I have awakened with an Innate Soul Power of 2." But he still introduced himself. He was curious as to what he would do. Of course, he was sure that Yu Xiaogang would refuse.
Since he got the chance, he simply wanted to make Yu Xiaogang's image even more hypocritical in Bibi Dong's eyes. Even if he was "rejected" by Yu Xiaogang, he would actually be winning a lot. Not only would he make him look even worse in Bibi Dong's eyes, but he would even get a nice little reason to completely shat on Yu Xiaogang in the future.
After all, once his talent had soared, not only would he be able to embarrass Yu Xiaogang in front of the whole continent by saying that he refused to accept him as his disciple just because of his poor talent at the start, he would be able to make him look bad and stupid in front of Pope Bibi Dong!
In the future, at every chance he got, he would hurt Yu Xiaogang. And his excuse would be that he humiliated him when he was a child. After all, he was actually pretty enough to hold that kind of a grudge.
