Teacher Dai led Su Yun and Tang San to the entrance of the principal's office. Instead of taking them inside, he left directly in another direction.
Su Yun and Tang San exchanged glances again, said nothing, and pushed open the slightly ajar door of the principal's office, walking in. Tang San followed closely.
"Su Yun, Tang San, you've arrived." The dean, upon seeing the two outstanding students from their academy who were specifically requested by a distinguished figure, immediately showed a joyful smile.
During the few minutes of waiting for Su Yun and Tang San to arrive, he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, barely daring to breathe. Even the Master standing beside him, behind the man in the white robe, Ma Xiu Nuo, kept his head low, resembling a stone statue, unmoving.
However, when Su Yun and Tang San appeared, Master Ma Tao also raised his head, revealing a standard, benevolent smile.
"Dean, Master Ma Tao."
Su Yun and Tang San nodded slightly towards the dean and Master Ma Xiu Nuo.
"Are you two Su Yun and Tang San? Quite handsome, I must say."
A soft voice suddenly came from the left side of the room, surprising Su Yun. He turned his head in that direction and was instantly taken aback.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan?!
Why is he here?
Looking at the figure in white robe with a gentle appearance, Su Yun felt a chill running through his feet.
According to the plot, Chrysanthemum Douluo should not be here... Right, the teacher mentioned during the guidance that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan came here upon hearing about the life-and-death duel between me and Tang San.
Su Yun's brain worked frantically, wildly speculating about the reasons for Yue Guan's visit.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul belonged to immortal herbs, and he had a great interest in rare and exotic plants. Both Su Yun and Tang San had supposedly worthless martial souls, Blue Silver Grass, but unexpectedly awakened innate full soul power.
This unexpected surprise piqued Yue Guan's interest, which wasn't surprising.
But Su Yun still couldn't understand. Was it necessary for Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan to come in person just for these two young ones who hadn't fully grown yet?
Shouldn't a simple command from him have sufficed? Why did he have to come here in person?
Su Yun wasn't foolish either. A life-and-death duel and the establishment of a covenant were nothing more than scraps of paper for a Title Douluo.
He couldn't believe Yue Guan came here just for such trivial matters involving him and Tang San.
Could it be that Yue Guan has already sensed something... Su Yun didn't think much about it and looked at Tang San again. This time, he saw confusion in Tang San's eyes.
Apparently, Tang San didn't recognize Yue Guan at this moment. Moreover, Yue Guan was concealing his aura, making it impossible for people of their level to detect his soul power.
"Greetings, sir."
Su Yun and Tang San greeted Yue Guan politely.
Tang San wasn't a fool. The moment he entered the room, he could sense the cautious demeanor of the dean and Grandmaster. Only the man in the white robe, sitting on the side, appeared relaxed and content.
Obviously, this man held the highest position in the room, which was why they greeted him respectfully.
"I won't waste time on pleasantries. Show me the martial souls of both of you," Chrysanthemum Douluo lounged against the chair, appearing lazy, but his eyes were incredibly sharp.
"I hope the martial souls of these two young ones will surprise me. Don't make me come here for nothing."
Tang San was the first to release his Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Shortly after, a slender, azure Blue Silver Grass appeared in the palm of his left hand, emitting a rich aura.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes lit up when he saw Tang San step forward, eagerly waiting for Tang San to release his martial soul.
However, when Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was fully revealed, a trace of disappointment flashed in Spirit Saint Yue Guan's eyes. Tang San quickly caught onto this disappointment.
"This sir, my Blue Silver Grass..." Tang San was about to explain his teacher Yu Xiaogang's theory to persuade Spirit Saint Yue Guan.
Before he could say a word, Spirit Saint Yue Guan suddenly glared at him. A terrifying pressure instantly immobilized Tang San, making him unable to move, even his mouth couldn't open!
"So powerful!" Tang San was shocked, feeling as if the man in the white robe had transformed from a refined scholar into a fierce ancient beast in an instant.
"Could he be the Soul Saint that Grandpa Jack mentioned..." Tang San shuddered, feeling that the gentleman in front of him had turned into a terrifying beast in the blink of an eye.
While Tang San was still astonished by Soul Saint Yue Guan's strength, another figure entered the principal's office.
"Dean, which important figure wants to see my disciple Tang San?" Yu Xiaogang, clad in a gray robe, no longer appeared as lazy as usual but carried a hint of excitement.
Upon hearing that a high-ranking figure from the Martial Soul Hall had specifically requested to see Tang San and Su Yun, he immediately speculated. The life-and-death duel between Su Yun and Tang San had apparently caught their attention, recognizing the potential of Little San.
Regrettably, they recognized Little San's talent a bit later than he did.
With this mindset, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly rushed to the principal's office upon receiving the news.
"Oh, Yu Xiaogang, I didn't expect it to be you, this useless guy!" Before Yu Xiaogang could be excited for too long, a harsh, insulting voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Who?!" Yu Xiaogang's face changed suddenly. No one had dared to call him useless in all these years.
However, when he turned to look at the person who spoke, the expression on Yu Xiaogang's face suddenly turned pale, even his old face lost its color, and he stammered as he spoke:
"Is... is... it you?! Yue Guan!"
In shock, Yu Xiaogang shouted Spirit Saint Yue Guan's name.
"Humph! The name of this old man is something you can still utter!" Spirit Saint Yue Guan frowned, pointed his finger, and an invisible aura burst out, directly sending Yu Xiaogang flying, crashing into the wall of the principal's office!
"Teacher!"
Tang San, now released from Spirit Saint Yue Guan's suppression, rushed over to help Yu Xiaogang up.
At the same time, Tang San looked up at Yue Guan, his eyes now filled with a burning flame of hatred!
