Chapter 148: The "Grandmaster's" Excitement
2023-04-04 Author: Fu Hejun
Nuoding City.
Notting Junior Soul Master Academy is located in the west of Nuoding City. Although it is only a junior academy, thanks to the nobility of Soul Masters, even such a small junior academy is built quite grandly. Of course, this only refers to small cities; it cannot compare to those large cities.
The tall archway, twenty meters wide and over ten meters high, is built entirely from hard rock. Below it are two black iron gates, through which one can see winding paths leading to seclusion, with a main road extending straight into the interior, flanked by tall trees. In the center of the archway are four large characters: "Nuoding Academy."
At the corner of the top floor of this academy's dormitory building, there was a room. This room was not large, only about thirty square meters. Its contents were simple: a bed, a table, and chairs. The only unique item was a bookshelf, filled with various books, that occupied two walls.
At this moment, inside this room, a medium-built, slightly thin middle-aged man was looking at the letter in his hand with an excited expression.
This person appeared to be around forty or fifty years old, with short black hair parted in a three-seven split. His appearance was very ordinary, the kind that would be hard to find in a crowd. This was none other than Yu Xiaogang, "renowned" in the Soul Master world, known as the "Grandmaster," whose martial soul was a pig.
"The Lord of White Cloud City founded an academy and is sincerely recruiting academy teachers. Upon joining, one can even receive guidance from two Limit Douluo, and even help in achieving a breakthrough in their realm. This is truly the time for my Yu Xiaogang to rise!" Yu Xiaogang trembled with excitement as he looked at the letter in his hand. This letter was from his old friend Flander, who founded Shrek Academy. Otherwise, given his limited information sources in this small, secluded place, it would likely be a long time before he learned about White Cloud Academy's recruitment of teachers.
Flander wrote this letter to him precisely because he believed that, with his knowledge, Yu Xiaogang could certainly pass White Cloud Academy's teacher assessment and become a teacher there!
Yu Xiaogang himself was brimming with confidence about this. Although White Cloud Academy's minimum requirement for recruiting teachers was the Spirit King rank, it also explicitly stated that if one believed they had a profound understanding of martial souls and an incomparable advantage in educating students, they could still apply. If they passed the examiner's test, they could become a teacher even if their strength had not reached the Spirit King rank!
Moreover, if someone could become a teacher at the academy in such a way, their value would undoubtedly be much higher than that of teachers who joined by relying solely on their cultivation.
Yu Xiaogang could almost foresee the profound regret of those who once looked down on him, even mocked him, once he passed the test and became a teacher at White Cloud Academy! All the stains on his reputation would be completely washed away!
Because being able to join White Cloud Academy solely based on knowledge, without relying on cultivation, meant that Yu Xiaogang truly possessed genuine talent and and had been certified by two Limit Douluo as a true Grandmaster!
For Yu Xiaogang, who had always wanted to prove himself, this was simply too tempting.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang was determined to join White Cloud Academy!
Furthermore, this was not just for himself, but also for his only disciple, Tang San.
It was well-known that Tang San, like the Lord of White Cloud City, possessed a peerless Twin Martial Soul talent!
However, cultivating a Twin Martial Soul was not simple. There was once a Twin Martial Soul genius who, while cultivating both martial souls, inexplicably self-destructed and died.
This served as a reminder to everyone: the extremely rare Twin Martial Soul cultivation must have a certain secret. It was different from cultivating a single martial soul.
If one did not know its secret and cultivated rashly, their ultimate fate would likely be the same as that Twin Martial Soul user: self-destruction.
However, due to the extreme rarity of Twin Martial Souls, there had been no reference points before this. Yu Xiaogang had always been at a loss regarding how to cultivate a Twin Martial Soul. He once sought out his old lover, Bibi Dong, hoping to extract the secret of Twin Martial Soul cultivation. Unfortunately, he did not succeed.
He was even keenly detected by her during his attempt to elicit information. After all, it was too abnormal for him to suddenly ask about Twin Martial Soul cultivation after so many years apart.
Since he couldn't get the method from Bibi Dong, his only remaining option was the Lord of White Cloud City.
After all, this person was the only known powerhouse who had cultivated both martial souls to their peak!
But he dared not ask this one even more. After all, he had no relation to them, so why would he presume to ask? Would they tell him such a secret?
Yu Xiaogang was somewhat self-aware; he knew that going there in his capacity would be futile, and he might not even meet the Lord of White Cloud City. After all, this person would never dote on him like Bibi Dong did, so it was better to be careful.
But he was truly unwilling to give up like this!
After all, what heights a Twin Martial Soul could ultimately reach, that peerless Lord of White Cloud City had already fully demonstrated to the world in the Q&A Video.
His second martial soul could directly absorb nine 100,000-year soul rings. It was truly terrifying!
This also meant that all six soul bones on the Lord of White Cloud City were 100,000-year soul bones!
Coupled with a Soul Power level of 99, how terrifying must their strength be? It was probably even stronger than a normal Limit Douluo!
To be honest, when Yu Xiaogang first learned that Tang San had a Twin Martial Soul, he only thought about attaching black ten-thousand-year soul rings to all nine of his second martial soul's soul rings, the Clear Sky Hammer. As for 100,000-year soul rings, he didn't even dare to dream of them.
But the Lord of White Cloud City in the video actually did what he couldn't even imagine. This broadened his horizons at the time, making him realize that his vision was, after all, too narrow. Was he truly satisfied with mere ten-thousand-year soul rings?
Now, Yu Xiaogang felt that if Tang San's second martial soul wasn't affixed with nine 100,000-year soul rings, it wouldn't be worthy of his ultimate Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.
The Lord of White Cloud City's second martial soul was merely the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a purely support-type martial soul. Even with the augmentation of nine 100,000-year soul rings, its function would ultimately only be stronger support.
But if it were the Number One Under Heaven Clear Sky Hammer, affixed with nine 100,000-year soul rings… how powerful would that martial soul become? Yu Xiaogang couldn't even imagine. Just thinking about it made him so excited he almost fainted.
In his opinion, as long as his disciple, Tang San, could overcome the conflict of Twin Martial Souls, then in the future, he would undoubtedly be more powerful than the Lord of White Cloud City. This was because the Lord of White Cloud City's second martial soul was a support martial soul, while Tang San's second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, was a strength-type offensive martial soul. Affixing nine 100,000-year soul rings to such a martial soul... Tsk, tsk, its might would be unparalleled!
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang was determined to go to White Cloud City!
Yu Xiaogang absolutely had to join White Cloud Academy.
All of this was for the future of his disciple, Tang San.
And so.
With an inexplicable, almost blind confidence, Yu Xiaogang puffed out his chest and set off towards White Cloud City.
