As soon as the words left his mouth, the gatekeeper at the school gate felt a chill run down his spine, swallowing hard as he realized he had just run into a steel plate.
So cold...
After learning the ins and outs of the situation, Su Yuntao frowned, stepping forward with his hands clasped behind his back, adopting the posture of someone in authority.
"Are you questioning the authority of the Spirit Hall?"
Su Yuntao said confidently, asserting that the dignity of the Spirit Hall could not be desecrated. Moreover, the other party had been so audacious, even speaking many disrespectful words.
If this were a regular situation, he might have already taken action, but since this was an academy, acting recklessly would tarnish the image of the Spirit Hall.
Immediately, the gatekeeper was scared to the point of almost losing control of himself, kneeling on the ground, repeatedly bowing and muttering "I was wrong" and "Master, please spare me."
"You don't need to come to the academy anymore; I will inform the academy leadership."
Su Yuntao waved his hand; he was in a good mood today and didn't want to hold a grudge.
Realizing he had saved his life, the gatekeeper was immensely grateful and rushed out the gate at lightning speed, leaving everyone else far behind.
"Alright, Old Jack, the matter has been resolved. What comes next is beyond our control."
Old Jack smiled, saying, "Thank you, Master Su Yuntao! If it weren't for you, I don't know if Xiao San could have entered school today."
"No need to thank me."
Su Yuntao shook his head lightly, then took out Ye Hao's spirit certificate from his pocket and handed it to him, advising.
"This is your spirit certificate. From now on, you are a student of the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. Don't forget to return to the Spirit Hall for a spirit evaluation after obtaining your spirit rings."
"By the way, there's something you need to consider…"
After giving these instructions, Su Yuntao also mentioned that Master Mathew had submitted Ye Hao's information, believing that someone from above would come soon.
Ye Hao: !!!
Little did he know that at this moment, having innate full soul power and a Blue Silver Grass souls—something so common?
Those people probably wouldn't even bother to come down. Blue Silver Grass? A useless martial soul? Was there a mistake?
As for the matter Su Yuntao referred to, it was an invitation for Ye Hao to join the Spirit Hall. Although Ye Hao hadn't fully expressed his stance yet, from Mathew's tone in his letter, it seemed highly likely.
Notting City was a small town, and its Spirit Hall was the smallest branch. True, Ye Hao was a genius, but on the way to the main Spirit Hall, there could be dangers.
For now, the best course of action was to report Ye Hao's information, and then wait for a strong person from above to take him away.
After all was settled, Su Yuntao left, and Old Jack also took his leave after saying goodbye to Tang San. Though Notting City was small, it was still a comfortable place for the old village chief to live.
After parting ways with Old Jack, Tang San looked at Ye Hao and proactively extended his hand, saying, "Hello, I'm Tang San, six years old, from Holy Spirit Village. My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I haven't obtained a spirit ring yet, so I'm not exactly a soul master."
The protagonist is talking to me? This is interesting...
Reciprocating, Ye Hao smiled slightly.
"I'm Ye Hao, the same age as you, six years old. I'm an orphan; my village has only me left. My martial soul is the Death Spider."
"Death Spider?"
Tang San was puzzled. At this stage, he was still a rookie who had just left the beginner's village, and he didn't know much about martial soul.
"I heard Uncle Su Yuntao say you also have innate full soul power?"
Tang San was taken aback. "Could it be that you do too?"
Ye Hao smiled lightly and nodded, then picked up his backpack and walked toward the academy. Tang San was stunned for a moment; in his memory, innate full soul power should be rare, so why...
"Wait for me..."
Tang San hurriedly caught up, walking alongside Ye Hao.
At that moment, a middle-aged man, around thirty or forty years old, dressed in dark black clothes that looked lifeless, with a very ordinary appearance, walked past them. His dead fish eyes showed no emotion, and his short black hair was as prickly as steel needles.
Just then, the man passed by Tang San and Ye Hao. As he reached the school gate and looked at the empty entrance, he thought, What's wrong? Where are they? Shouldn't they be right here?
Recalling the two he had just passed, he suddenly realized something was off!
Immediately, he turned around and ran toward the academic affairs office.
He had unintentionally overheard earlier that a new student had just awakened their martial soul, had innate full soul power, and his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass.
Everyone knew that Blue Silver Grass was the standard representation of a useless martial soul. The man was certain that the child must have some hidden secret; perhaps he had another martial soul.
At the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy's academic affairs office, Ye Hao and Tang San arrived and handed in their spirit certificates.
Tang San came from a poor family, and although Ye Hao was being supported by the Spirit Hall, he hadn't officially joined yet, so he didn't count as a member. Having Su Yuntao personally bring him here was already a huge help.
The academic affairs office was specifically for receiving new students, and at the moment, three teachers were present: two younger and one older. The teachers sat at their desks, looking at the spirit certificates in their hands.
They rubbed their eyes in disbelief and glanced again at Ye Hao and Tang San.
"You two really have innate full soul power?"
The teacher holding their certificates couldn't believe it. Was this some sort of joke? Two kids with innate full soul power had come to their academy?
Although the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy could be considered a junior academy, it was one of the smallest among all the junior soul master academies.
It was a small temple that could not accommodate these two "Buddhas."
Tang San nodded, while Ye Hao rolled his eyes, clearly showing his disdain.
"Blue Silver Grass? Innate full soul power? Hahaha..."
One of the teachers laughed heartily. "Could it be that the Spirit Hall made a mistake? How could Blue Silver Grass possibly be innate full soul power?"
Hearing this, Tang San's expression gradually darkened. He gritted his teeth for a moment, then relaxed his clenched fist.
"Now, this one, you're Ye Hao, right?"
Another teacher picked up Ye Hao's spirit certificate, scrutinizing him and nodding slightly.
"Your martial soulis the Death Spider, a rare existence among beast martial soul, and you have innate full soul power. How about this..."
"How about you become my disciple? I can teach you about martial souland accompany you to hunt for spirit rings. What do you think?"
"Forget it, I appreciate your kindness."
Ye Hao didn't think twice before firmly rejecting the offer. Who did he think he was trying to teach him?
"Since that's the case, how about I become your teacher?"
As soon as the words fell, the man who had just brushed past them walked in, his stiff face breaking into an ugly smile.
Ye Hao thought: It can't be that guy, right...
