Chapter 39 - Chapter 38

Tang san, as if to prove his Martial Soul is not weak, extended his right hand and summoned the Blue Silver Grass.

A small Blue Silver Grass with a single silver strand running down its centre appeared on his hand. 

Yu Xiaogong, who was seething with rage, calmed down seeing Tang san summon his Martial Soul.

While he felt dismissive of the possibility that a weak Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass could become anything special, he still observed the Martial Soul closely. 

A few moments later he gave up thinking and sighed.

'As I thought this Martial soul isn't anything special. Other than feeling a little stronger vitality compared to others there is not much difference at all.

It's good this way, after all if it's anything special I'll get slightly guilty for ruining his potential with my unconfirmed theories and he might even resent me and turn against me.' He thought as a bead of cold sweat rolled down his back.

On the side of Hanrui who is observing all this time couldn't help but mock. 

'Heh you researched it and closely followed the subjects? With what? your meager great soul master level strength?'

But then he frowned as he stared at the Blue Silver Grass on Tang San's hand. 

'Strange, why does it have a Silver line instead of Gold?

Is this related to my future self? If that's the case then, where is Ah Yin? I have a feeling she is not his…' He mused as an amused smile appeared on his face replacing the frown.

… 

"Tang san, you are right, there are exceptions for everything. For the last hundred years there have been countless geniuses born on this continent. 

But only 19 of them have innate full soul power while there were only 2 twin Martial Soul holders, and I've observed their Martial Soul's closely, none of them mutated from Blue Silver Grass." Yu Xiaogong said.

"Master, what is a Martial Soul Mutation?" Tang San asked, as he didn't understand what it meant.

"A Martial Soul is typically inherited from the parents, either you will get your father's, or your mother's Martial Soul.

In rare cases the martial soul mutates, gaining both characteristics of the parents Martial Soul and even awakens with full innate soul power.

But that is the positive side, and luck plays a crucial role in it, most marital souls which mutated often downgrade instead.

Your Blue Silver Grass may seem mutated but that is not the case. It's most likely gained some vitality from your second Martial soul improving itself.

If I have to guess, out of your awakened innate soul power, 5 to 6 levels come from your second Martial soul." Yu Xiaogong explained patiently.

'Normally I would argue, that's not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass but Blue Silver Emperor but that's not the case here so I'll let it pass.

Though Tang San's Blue Silver Grass does remind me of my own Blue Silver King planted in my garden. 

Guess it's close to that grade? A false king perhaps?

But the innate Soul power? That's definitely something he cultivated using the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

His Martial Soul has almost nothing to do with his innate soul power.' Hanrui commented in his mind.

Tang San feeling enlightened and completely forgetting the advice given by "Elder Li" kneeled and bowed three times to Yu Xiaogong.

"Grandmaster please, receive my kowtow and accept me as your disciple." Tang san said.

Yu Xiaogong, satisfied yet puzzled, lifts him up as he laughs.

"Silly boy, don't you know, you only need to kowtow for your parents and the emperor and no one else? 

For mere apprenticeship, bowing is enough." He said.

Tang san having grown up as an orphan in his previous life, took the rules of the Tang sect to his heart and firmly shook his head and said 

"A teacher for a day, is a father for life. You should accept my kowtow."

Yu Xiaogong felt moved as he stared at Tang San.

"Teacher for a day, father for life, good, good, as expected, I have not chosen wrongly." He said.

'Finally, xiao san, you finally got your 3rd father, don't worry he will definitely take care of your every need, unlike your first father Tang Hao.

You won't be a malnourished kid anymore. You will grow stronger and stronger in his care.'

Hanrui thought, his words filled with sarcasm as fake tears dropped from his eyes, courtesy of his mastery over Ultimate Ice.

"Let's go, I'll show you to your dorm." Yu Xiaogong said in a good mood as he took Tang San's hand with excitement and guided him to the Dorm area. 

'Weird, why do I feel all warm and tingly when the teacher is holding my hand?' Tang San thought as he was being dragged away.

Nuoding primary spirit master academy was not as big as it appeared outside, and was mainly divided into a few areas: 

the main school building, a sports ground and a dormitory to the east of the sports ground

The duo of master and apprentice quickly reached the dorm area. Yu Xiaogong showed Tang San tu the dorms and left. 

"You go inside, I have something to do, I'll see you in a while." Yu Xiaogong said as he scurried off.

"Good bye teacher." He said before opening the door and entering the form but just then, he noticed a punch was flying at him, he quickly managed to catch it but took a few steps back in the process.

It took a bit of effort and some pain before he managed to defeat the assailant. 

'... Why is he so weak?' Hanrui thought confused as he stared at the scene.
