Back at the backyard of Nuoding Academy.
Rayne drew a blue rune of light and inserted it into Xiao Wu under her nervous eyes.
"Will this light thingy really keep me from being detected by those two dangerous people?" Xiao Wu asked nervously.
Rayne nodded and said, "This is a Presence concealment rune from a power system that doesn't exist in Douluo planet. It will fully conceal your energy and life signal. Even a Spiritual type Titled Douluo will have a hard time finding you. As for the other guy, unless he doesn't break the rules and directly use his divine sense to locate you, he won't be able to find you easily."
This rune power system is from one of the 108 worlds governed by Divine Realm. Rayne had learned a lot from this rune power system when he was God of Infinity.
"And I've also put a image disguise rune on you. Except for me, no one can see through your true appearance for a day."
Of course, he was somewhat lying about Asura God being not able to find Xiao Wu. But this rune can indeed hide from most Titled Douluo.
But Asura God, or the matter of fact, any God can easily see through Xiao Wu's identity. A God cannot be fooled so easily by mortal means. No matter how incredible the power of runes are, it's still within the limitations of mortal level.
Xiao Wu turned to look at Rayne with a complicated expression, and asked, "Why are you helping me so much? Are you really not going to harm me?"
"…" Rayne was silent. He can completely understand Xiao Wu's concerns.
After all, someone who is basically a stranger to you, is giving you so much without asking anything in return. There is obviously no such convenient opportunity in this world.
He knew that no matter how much words he use to explain to Xiao Wu, she will still retain that cautiousness, and will never truly come to fully trust him.
So…
Rayne gently put his palm on top of Xiao Wu's head, and softly caressed her hair.
With a slight smile, he said, "I won't tell you to trust me right of the bat. Your cautiousness is not a bad trait."
"Just consider that, now you are being forced to follow me due to your weak strength. As for trusting me, you just need to watch me. My actions will tell you whether you can trust me or not."
"And you don't have to be so nervous. As long as I'm here, you're safe."
Hearing his words, Xiao Wu had a glimmer of light in her eyes, as she looked at his handsome face in a daze for a moment.
Feeling the carassing hand on her head, her heartbeat started to speed up as her face turned red as apple.
"You..you!" Xiao Wu shook away Rayne's hand with a shy and angry expression, then turned around and ran away in a panic.
As she ran away, Rayne's voice was heard in her mind.
"I'll look for you tomorrow. Also, don't go to your dormitory. Just stay away from the academy today. I've left three gold soul coins in your pocket. Use it to book a room and stay there for today."
Xiao Wu touched her pocket, and sure enough, she felt three circular objects. Most likely the three gold soul coins.
Soon, Xiao Wu disappeared from sight.
Rayne had a smile on his face, as he started to walk away from the place.
…
When Rayne returned to his dormitory after having a good meal at the cafeteria, he met two people waiting at his door.
Yu Xiaogang and the dean of Nuoding Junior Academy, Han Mu.
At the same time, he also sensed Tang Hao secretly observing him.
When Rayne spotted them, the two also spotted him. The Dean Han Mu looked at Rayne with a cold expression, but Yu Xiaogang had a small smile when he saw Rayne.
"Well, you're here." Yu Xiaogang nodded with a calm expression.
"?" Rayne was momentarily confused as to what Yu Xiaogang's intentions were.
"Summon your martial spirit and let me take a look." Yu Xiaogang's expression was very unflattering, with an eternal zombie-like stiff face. The tone was also cold and deep.
Dean Han Mu next to him was surprised by Yu Xiaogang's manner of speech. Just a few minutes ago, this guy was thinking about ways to convince Rayne. So Han Mu was confused as to why Yu Xiaogang chose this cold tone of speech.
"…" Rayne was unmoved by Yu Xiaogang's words.
Yu Xiaogang continued to say calmly, "I plan to accept you as a disciple. So I need to understand your martial soul."
Rayne was stunned for a moment, before saying with a wide grin, "Can I take this as you begging for a beating? What qualifications or resources do you even have to accept someone like me as a disciple?"
Then Rayne pointed at Han Mu and continued to say…
"What? Did you forget the consequences of talking to me like this. Did this level 40 small fry next to you, give you the courage to talk to me so pretentiously?"
Han Mu, the dean of Nuoding academy, was angry at being called a small fry by Rayne. But the thought of Rayne's mother being a peak Soul Saint, extinguished his anger.
Yu Xiaogang was shaken and trembled a little in fright at the sight of Rayne's malicious smile. But he still tried his best to maintain his calm.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Han Mu next to him and asked him to leave for a while. While Han Mu was confused, he was convinced by Yu Xiaogang to leave.
After dean Han Mu had left, Yu Xiaogang looked at Rayne and said.
"Young Rayne, you have twin martial souls, correct? One of which is the Blue Silver Grass and the other is most likely your eyes."
"Are you going about this again? So what if my eyes are my martial soul? You know what? Just say everything you want to say right now. I don't want to deal with you again in the future." Rayne said in an annoyed tone.
Hearing Rayne admit that his eyes are indeed his martial soul, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered and a smile formed in the corners of his mouth.
Tang Hao, who was secretly observing, also had a special gleam in his eyes, after hearing the confirmation of a twin martial souls other than his son.
"Young Rayne, if you accept me as your teacher, I can bring you the greatest development routes to your martial souls." Yu Xiaogang said excitedly. His eagerness for taking Rayne as his disciple/experiment subject, was pretty evident.
Rayne: "Oh? And how do you intend on helping me when you yourself are in a pathetic state? You don't have any practical evidences of your so-called excellence."
Yu Xiaogang: "…"
Rayne: "Yu Xiaogang, you are a grown man who claims to be a scholar. Show some basic intellect, man. Just think about what you can provide me for my cultivation. What kind of benefits can you bring to me? Whatever knowledge you have isn't inaccessible to me."
Yu Xiaogang: "…I can help you develop a proper development route for your Blue Silver Grass, and later you can get better soul rings with higher age for your eye martial soul."
Rayne: "Yu Xiaogang, why do you not have any self awareness? My mother is a level 79 Soul Saint, and her martial soul is a high level variant of Blue silver grass. Her achievements alone speak for her understanding of Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Do you think I still need to rely on you to teach me?"
Yu Xiaogang: "…"
Rayne: "Yu Xiaogang, I'll just say this. Stop bothering me and put your full attention on your disciple."
Yu Xiaogang: "Young man, you do not understand. You'll only save your own life by becoming my disciple."
Yu Xiaogang said this in a sincere tone.
"You better get lost while I'm still talking to you normally." Rayne was getting annoyed.
If not for the fact that he disdained to bully the weak with brute strength, Rayne would've beat up this pretentious Grandmaster already. Even when he challenges those weaker than him by suppressing himself, the prerequisite is that the opponent has some aspects worth learning.
Yu Xiaogang obviously has none, in Rayne's eyes.
As for him losing his life? To whom? Tang Hao?
Rayne would like to see how Tang Hao can get past his Infinity.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Rayne with reluctance. He wanted to continue to persuade, but he stopped and walked away.
As he was walking, his eyes turned cold and he said, "I'm sorry, your majesty Tang Hao. I was wrong. This boy is destined to be Xiao San's enemy."
"Please get rid of him."
As Yu Xiaogang said those words, A black robed man rushed towards Rayne like lightning and grabbed his collar.
Rayne saw this calmly in slow motion, but he didn't take any action to dodge.
Tang Hao got hold of Rayne and disappeared from the place.
Yu Xiaogang saw this and coldly smiled.
"If you don't become my disciple, then you'll most likely become that woman Bibi Dong's disciple because of twin martial souls. I'd rather destroy you, than let Spirit Hall get hold of a talent like you."
"Bibi Dong, you shameless woman! Since you abandoned me, I will not allow you to get such a talent."
…
A few minutes later.
Tang Hao appeared far outside the Nuoding city in a fairly isolated place.
He then turned to look at the young boy in his hand with a gloomy expression.
But, as he blinked once, the white haired boy had disappeared from his hand.
"What?!" Tang Hao looked around in shock.
Tang Hao looked at the white haired boy, who now stood about a dozen meters away from him, in shock.
He couldn't understand how this boy had left his grasp on him. He didn't even know when the boy has escaped his hold.
Rayne himself was looking around the place in interest.
"This is a pretty isolated place. I guess you don't have any good intentions?"
