Chapter 5: Master? Mentor? (2)

  "Their origin is not noble, but they also possess the innate full soul power. And this coincidence is the existence of variant martial souls. According to my many years of research on variant martial souls, no martial soul can produce a variant with Blue Silver Grass martial soul. And your Blue Silver Grass martial soul is ordinary, so I can be completely sure that my judgment is correct."

  "What is Soul Variance?" Tang San asked.

  "The master explained patiently: "This is about how the martial soul is passed down. A person's martial soul has a direct relationship with their parents' martial souls, and in normal cases, they inherit either their father's or mother's martial soul. This is family-style martial soul inheritance. However, there are some exceptions, known as variant martial souls. They also come from the parents' martial souls, but because of the variability between the father's and mother's martial souls, the inherited martial soul will exhibit variations, producing a new martial soul. Variant martial souls can be very powerful, even appearing with innate full-soul power. However, most variant martial souls will only become weak. Variant martial souls are like the products of close relatives marrying, with a high probability of being foolish, but it's also possible for an extremely intelligent person to appear."

  Tang San nodded, then suddenly took a step back, creating some distance between himself and the Master. He immediately dropped to his knees and kowtowed three times to show his respect.

  This time, it was Master's turn to be stunned, "What are you doing?"

  "Teacher." Tang San called out respectfully, "Please accept me as your disciple."

  The master smiled, very satisfied with the smile, bent down and pulled Tang San up, "Foolish kid, why do you need to kowtow when paying respects to a master? Don't you know that this is only a ritual for emperors and parents? A bow would have been enough."

  The habits of the Douluo Continent are clearly different from Tang San's first life, but Tang San doesn't think his etiquette is excessive. He solemnly says: "One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father. You should receive my kneeling bow."

  The Tang Sect's teachings on etiquette were extremely strict. Having received that kind of education from a young age, it had long been deeply ingrained in Tang San's heart.

  The master gazed at Tang San with a moved expression, "One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father. Good, good, it seems I haven't chosen wrongly." As the saying goes, 'see the subtle and know the grand', details determine success or failure. Although the master and disciple had not been in contact for long, the master already had a considerable understanding of this child before him.

  "Come on, I'll take you to the Dean's office to report." The master grasped Tang San's hand once again, his originally dry and rough palm slightly sweaty from excitement.

  Nodding Primary Soul Master Academy didn't look as big from the outside, mainly divided into several areas: the main teaching building, the sports ground and the dormitory building to the east of the sports ground.

  Although it is only a primary soul master academy, the requirements for students here are also very strict. Even if their family lives next to the academy, students must still live in the academy and accept unified management.

  The admissions office is located on the first floor of the main teaching building, and a teacher who appears to be over 60 years old is specially responsible for receiving new students. There are also two young teachers under the age of 30 who assist him.

  The master put the certificate on the table and said to the older teacher, "Director Su, this is a work-study student sent by Shenghun Village this year. Please help him register."

  Director Su beamed with a smile and said: "Master, how did you come? Rare guest, sit for a while."

  The master shook his head and said to Tang San, "You register yourself here, these teachers will tell you what to do. I'll leave first, and when I come back, I'll find you myself."

  Tang San nodded and respectfully said: "Goodbye, Teacher."

  The master smiled and patted his head before turning around and leaving.

  When Tang San addressed him as Master, Director Su seemed very interested. "Young man, you call him Teacher Master, but he's not a teacher in our college."

  "But he is my teacher."

  Director Su was taken aback, "You want to acknowledge me as your master?" His expression was somewhat strange, a mixture of wanting to laugh and holding it back.

  "Tang San said: 'Is there anything wrong, teacher?'"

  Director Su shook his head repeatedly, laughing: "No, no. I didn't expect the master to also take on an apprentice. However, you are still a student of this academy, and from now on you must also follow the rules and regulations of the academy, do you understand?"

  Tang San nodded slightly.

  The two young teachers next to Director Su didn't have his temperament. One of them took a look at the proof from the Soul Master's Hall and laughed, "Tang San, huh? As a teacher in this academy, I should remind you that one can't just acknowledge anyone as their master. Any soul master, regardless of whether they graduated from the academy or not, can only acknowledge one master. Otherwise, they will be shunned by society. Do you really think Master is suitable for you? You're still a first-rank Soul Ancestor. Unfortunately, your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."

  Seeing the words " Innate Full Soul Power" on the certificate, the teachers present looked surprised, but Blue Silver Grass turned their surprise into regret.

  Tang San looked at the three academy teachers in front of him with some curiosity, "What's wrong?"

  Director Su glared at the young teacher beside him and said, "Although Master is a bit eccentric in personality, from a certain perspective, he is an invincible existence in terms of martial soul. Anyway, your martial soul is also Blue Silver Grass, so it's not a problem to take him as your master. Alright, that's settled then. This is yours, the academy distributes them for free. You'll be living in dormitory building seven. The teacher in charge there will arrange work for you as a work-study student. Off you go."

  "Thank you." Taking the thing handed over by Director Su, Tang San bowed and turned around to walk out of the teaching office.

  Director Su handed him a standard Nodding First Grade Soul Master Academy uniform, the white fabric looked very clean. Just as he walked out of the teaching office, Tang San vaguely heard the voice of the young teacher who had spoken earlier coming from inside the teaching office.
