Bab 16: Grandmaster and Drama
When a spirit master level personage apologized towards him, old Jack's vanity received an enormous boost, and he hastily shook both hands, saying:
"Don't apologize, don't apologize. We are also in the wrong. Grandmaster, I will trouble you with this child. Tang San, you follow Grandmaster inside ok, but you must be obedient."
Tang San nodded, but did not open his mouth.
Earlier, when this Grandmaster before him stopped the gatekeeper from charging at him, his left hand was already lifted, and for insurance, a sleeve dart was already readied. If this Grandmaster before him had spoken a step later, perhaps that gatekeeper's throat could have received a short arrow.
Feng Xuan who was unhappy due to Grandmaster's skim wanted to tell something but didn't say anything out of respect for old jack.
Feng Xuan also know about Tang san's hidden weapon. He knows that Tang san is merciless to enemy but he also understand that Gatekeeper just acting according to Grandmaster's order so he just have pity for small gatekeeper.
After old Jack warned Tang San and Feng Xuan several more times did he leave.
Grandmaster coldly glanced at that gatekeeper,
"This is the first time, and also is the last time. If there is a repeat offense, you need not remain here."
His hoarse voice was calm, but gave a feeling that made it impossible to refute.
The gatekeeper's back broke out in cold sweat, and he hurriedly repeatedly echoed agreement and got out of the way to the side.
"What an acting? If this was earth then Grandmaster can also get Nobel prize for acting." Feng Xuan thinks.
Grandmaster lowered his head to look at Tang San and Feng Xuan, on his face emerged a slight smile. As if his facial muscles were stiff, the smile had an appearance that most people would not dare compliment. Dragging Tang San and Feng Xuan's hand, he said:
"We're entering."
Grandmaster's hand was soft and dry, its grip very comfortable, imperceptibly bringing Tang San a kind of sense of trust. But Feng Xuan disgusted. Following him, Tang San and Feng Xuan finally entered this academy.
"Teacher, thank you."
Tang San said to Grandmaster.
"Now, show is starting." Feng Xuan think.
"Teacher? I am not an academy teacher."
Grandmaster turned his head to glance at Tang San, speaking coolly.
"Not a teacher? Just now did you not speak on behalf of the academy?"
Grandmaster shook his head, all along today he had been nothing but exceptionally patient, and again squeezed out a trace of that unsightly smiling expression,
"Who said one must be an academy teacher to represent the academy?"
Tang San said with sudden realization:
"I understand. You are an academy principal, or a leader, right?"
Grandmaster could not help laughing, and said:
"For a six year old child, you are very clever. However, you still guessed wrong."
Tang San uncertainly said:
"Then you are?"
Grandmaster said:
"I am only a freeloading tenant at this place, that's all. You and the others alike called me Grandmaster, right. Everyone address me like this. Even to the extent that I have already forgotten my name. On the spirit hall certificate was written that you are called Tang San, right. Tang San, you must understand, the meanings of grandmaster and teacher are entirely different, and hereafter must not address me incorrectly. Unless… "
"HAHAHA, what a blunt lie? And here it comes. "Feng Xuan talked to himself while maintaining smile outside.
Saying this, his words slowed, in his eyes glimmered a burning light,
"Unless you are genuinely willing to make me your teacher."
"You want to teach me spirit cultivation?"
Tang San asked.
Tang San asked.
Grandmaster halted his steps, standing calmly, facing Tang San.
"Are you willing to do that?"
Tang San naturally also stopped, raising his head to look at Grandmaster before him, now observing at close range. Again looking him over from down to up, he discovered Grandmaster's mouth was a little large, and his lips also very thick. He didn't open his mouth, both unable to answer, and also unable to not answer.
Grandmaster saw Tang San's both eyes staring at him blankly, and that stiff smiling expression once again emerged,
"Good, you really are a clever child."
Grandmaster, resembling old Jack, raised his hand to tousle Tang San's head.
"Naturally gifted, and also this clever. It seems even I must persistently try again. How should I say this? You also have the third twin spirit in these last hundred years."
Hearing grandmaster's words, Tang San was greatly startled. His gaze looking at Grandmaster suddenly changed. He already quietly lifted his left wrist, a surprised unpredictable look appearing in his eyes.
Grandmaster calmly and in an easy-going way looked at him. Smiling, he said:
"Don't you want to know how I could know so quickly that you have twin spirits?"
Speaking, he flicked open the certificate in his hand that old Jack gave him,
"It is precisely because of this certificate. Perhaps another person looking could not find the flaw, but if I also could not see it, then I could not be called Grandmaster."
"I have investigated six hundred forty seven people with blue silver grass spirits. Among them were sixteen with spirit power, so the odds are less than three in a hundred. And even these sixteen people possessing spirit power did not have spirit power ability exceeding the first rank, and yet your innate full spirit power is of the tenth rank. According to my research in the first of the ten great core spirit competencies, innate spirit power size is in direct ratio with the quality of the spirit. Blue silver grass is obviously unable to measure up, therefore I can conclude that you should still have another spirit, and also that it is an extraordinarily powerful spirit."
"It's seriously out of contrast, how can someone this shameful. He who had theft soul hall made such lie about it." Thinks Feng Xuan.
The expression in Tang San's eyes gradually calmed down, and he argued:
"Everything has exceptions, why couldn't I be a special case?"
Grandmaster nodded seriously, and said:
"That's right, everything has exceptions, but your spirit is blue silver grass, therefore you clearly are not that exception. In the last hundred years in Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire, although twin spirits have only appeared twice, innate full spirit power has appeared nineteen times. I have carefully studied each of those spirits, and not one wasn't formidable. The youngest one has now already reached the spirit grandmaster level. Other than fourteen who inherited formidable spirits from clan blood lineage, there were five exceptions."
"They did not come from a privileged background, but also possessed innate full spirit power. And this kind of unexpected existence is exactly what is called variant spirits. On the basis of my many years of research in variant spirits, never has any kind of spirit with blue silver grass spirit produced a variation. And your blue silver grass spirit is also an ordinary blue silver grass, therefore, I can be completely confident that my judgment is correct."
"Variant spirits, what is that?"
Tang San asked.
Grandmaster patiently explained:
"I earlier mentioned the issues of how spirits are inherited. A person's spirit has a direct relationship with their parents' spirits, and under normal circumstances the spirit is inherited from either the father or mother's side. This is family pattern spirit inheritance. Among them are a few exceptions and these are what are called variation spirits. Same as the source parent's spirit, but because there is a certain variation between the father and mother's spirits, inheritance of one or the other spirits can produce a variation, bringing about a new kind of spirit. Variant spirits can have formidable variations, and even appear with innate full spirit power. But the overwhelming majority of variant spirits only become small and weak. Variant spirits are like the result of inbreeding: the possibility of retardation is very big, but there is also the possibility of producing an exceptional sage."
Tang San nodded, and suddenly moved back a step, opening up the distance between him and Grandmaster. Immediately after, he fell to his knees, and respectfully kowtowed three times towards Grandmaster.
This time, it was Grandmaster's turn to be dumbfounded,
"What are you doing?"
"Teacher."
Tang San respectfully called,
"Please accept me as a student."
Grandmaster smiled a very satisfied smile, stooping to pull Tang San back up.
"Muddleheaded boy, why kowtow to formally become a pupil, don't you know this is only courtesy when acknowledging the emperor and parents? You need only to bow for this."
Douluo Continent customs are of course not the same as circumstances in Tang San's first life, but Tang San certainly did not think his courtesy was too much, and solemnly said:
"A teacher for a day is a father for life. You should receive my kowtow."
Tang sect's teachings regarding courtesy were extremely severe. Having received that kind of education when he originally grew up, it had been branded deeply into the core of Tang San's heart a long time ago.
Grandmaster was moved and looked at Tang San,
"Teacher for a day, father for life, good, good, it appears that as expected, I have not chosen incorrectly."
He then look to Feng Xuan expectantly and asked.
"You can also became my discipline. Top grade bow martial spirit with innate full spirit power. I can guide you to become stronger."
