Kapitel 5: Chapter 5: Tang San Seeks a Master
Grandmaster lowered his head and looked at Tang San and Mo Bai, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Let's go inside," he said.
After speaking, Grandmaster wanted to hold the hands of Tang San and Mo Bai. Tang San allowed Grandmaster to take his hand, but Mo Bai pretended to casually move away and create some distance.
Grandmaster was slightly taken aback, but he didn't pay much attention to it and didn't think Mo Bai did it on purpose.
"Teacher, thank you!" Tang San thanked Grandmaster at this moment because Grandmaster had reprimanded the gatekeeper on his behalf.
"I'm not a teacher at the academy," Grandmaster looked at Tang San and said lightly.
"Not a teacher? Didn't you just say you represent the academy?" Tang San asked.
Grandmaster smiled faintly, "Who said that only teachers can represent the academy?"
Tang San suddenly realized, "I understand. Then you must be the principal of the academy or a leader?"
"Obviously not the principal. Otherwise, the gatekeeper wouldn't address him the way he did." Upon hearing Tang San's words, Mo Bai couldn't help but sarcastically comment on the side. It was because of his contempt that he couldn't help but make such remarks.
Grandmaster looked at Tang San and then at Mo Bai, chuckling. "Both of you are very smart for six-year-old children."
Grandmaster said, "I'm just a freeloader here, like everyone else. Just call me Grandmaster, as everyone does. I've even forgotten my own name. You should understand that 'Grandmaster' and 'Teacher' have completely different meanings. Don't address me incorrectly unless..."
At this point, he paused in his words, but his eyes flickered with intense passion. "Unless you truly want me to be your teacher."
"I want." Mo Bai answered directly. No matter what, Grandmaster was indeed knowledgeable, which Mo Bai currently lacked. It would be great if he could learn from Grandmaster.
Grandmaster first looked at Mo Bai with gratification, then stopped in his tracks and faced Tang San, "And what about you? Are you willing?"
Tang San also naturally stopped and looked up at the Grandmaster in front of him. At this close distance, looking up from below, he didn't speak, neither agreeing nor refusing.
As Grandmaster looked into Tang San's eyes, which were fixed on him, that stiff smile appeared again. "Alright, you truly are a clever child."
Not speaking had two implications: not rushing to refuse so as not to offend Grandmaster, and using actions to ask Grandmaster, 'Why should I become your disciple?'
'Damn, am I really stupid?' Mo Bai nearly exploded upon hearing Grandmaster's words. Wasn't it smart not to give a direct answer?
Well, he did agree too quickly, but it was because he knew he could learn useful knowledge from Grandmaster. Mo Bai complained in his mind, but for the sake of knowledge, he endured it.
Grandmaster turned his back and continued walking forward, but his voice still echoed, "It seems I have to show my worth too. Well, you two are the third and fourth twin Martial Souls in the last hundred years."
'Here we go!' Mo Bai looked at the Master's back and rolled his eyes inwardly. Grandmaster's desire to show off his profoundness was too strong!
After hearing Grandmaster's words, Tang San was greatly surprised. He looked at Grandmaster's profound gaze and then turned to look at Mo Bai, his eyes filled with uncertain surprise...
Grandmaster turned back, calmly gazing at Mo Bai and Tang San, and smiled, "Are you curious why I know that you have twin Martial Souls? Well, it's because of these two certificates." As he spoke, he shook the two certificates in his hand. "It's precisely because of these that I can see the flaws. Perhaps others can't, but if I couldn't, then I wouldn't be worthy of the title 'Grandmaster'."
"I've investigated 647 people with Blue Silver Grass as their Martial Soul. Among them, only 16 had soul power, which is less than a three percent chance. Even among these 16 people with soul power, none of them had a soul power higher than level one. However, you possess full innate soul power at level ten. According to one of the ten core competencies I've studied about Martial Souls, innate soul power is directly proportional to the quality of the Martial Soul. Obviously, Blue Silver Grass cannot satisfy this. So, I can be sure that you both should have another Martial Soul, and it is an extremely powerful one."
Tang San's gaze gradually calmed down, and he argued, "There are exceptions to everything. Why can't I be an exception?"
"Exactly!" Mo Bai also feigned a look of surprise on his face and echoed. However, in his heart, Mo Bai was relentlessly mocking Tang San.
'So you know there are exceptions to everything, huh? Let's see how you get fooled later.'
Grandmaster nodded earnestly and said, "You're right. There are exceptions to everything. But your Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, so you're obviously not that exception. In the past hundred years, although only two twin Martial Souls have appeared between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, there have been nineteen individuals born with full innate soul power. I have carefully studied the Martial Souls of each of them. Every one of them is a formidable existence. The youngest one has already reached the level of a Soul Grandmaster. Apart from the fourteen people who inherited powerful Martial Souls through bloodline heritage, there are five exceptions."
"Their backgrounds aren't noble, but they possess full innate soul power. This phenomenon is because of the existence of mutated Martial Souls. Based on my many years of research on mutated Martial Souls, Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul can't mutate. Moreover, your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is just an ordinary one. So, I can completely affirm that my judgment is correct."
At this moment, Grandmaster, in Mo Bai's eyes, appeared like a resplendent peacock, trying his best to show off.
Of course, while mocking, Mo Bai still maintained a well-acted expression, as if he was truly amazed by the knowledge.
"What is a mutated Martial Soul?" Tang San asked.
Mo Bai still didn't speak, but this was also what he wanted to know. He had forgotten it while watching anime before.
Patiently, Grandmaster explained, "First, let's talk about how Martial Souls are inherited. A person's Martial Soul has a direct connection with the Martial Souls of their parents. In the most normal case, one inherits either their father's or mother's Martial Soul. This is known as familial Martial Soul inheritance. However, some exceptions occur, and these are what we call mutated Martial Souls. They also come from the Martial Souls of the parents, but because there is a certain degree of variability in the Martial Souls of the father and mother, the inherited Martial Soul of the person will exhibit mutations and give birth to a new kind of Martial Soul. Mutated Martial Souls can become incredibly powerful, even possessing full innate soul power. However, the vast majority of mutated Martial Souls end up being weak. Mutated Martial Souls are like the offspring of close relatives. The chances of idiocy are high, but it's also possible for a genius far beyond an ordinary person to emerge."
Tang San nodded. Suddenly, he took a step back, creating some distance between himself and Grandmaster. Then, he knelt down on both knees and respectfully knocked his head three times.
'Here it comes, the scene of Tang San seeking a new father!'
Seeing Tang San's actions, Mo Bai stepped back slightly, as if he was afraid that his idiocy would affect him too.
This time, it was Grandmaster who was stunned. "What are you doing?"
"Master," Tang San respectfully called out, "please accept me as your disciple."
