Douluo Tongren Academy time

Chapter 5 Teacher?apprenticeship?

It only took half a day from Holy Soul Village to Notting City, and the three of them ate some dry food on the way. In the afternoon, they could already see the city wall in the distance.

Although Notting City is not a big city, but because it is considered a border city, the city walls are also thick.After Tang San and Old Jack accepted the same inspection as the passers-by, they entered Notting City.

"Xiaosan, Xiaoyue! Grandpa will send you to the college and go back later. You must be obedient in the college and don't leave the college without authorization. When the semester is over, Grandpa Jack will pick you up again, and we will go back to the village for the New Year."

After all, it was the first time Tang San left home, he was somewhat flustered, and subconsciously said: "Grandpa Jack, are you leaving so soon?"

Old Jack smiled wryly and said: "Hotels are not affordable for poor people. You have to work hard, and when Grandpa sees you next time, I hope you have become soul masters. If that happens, our Holy Soul Village will be proud of you. "

Notting Junior Soul Master Academy is located in the west of Notting City, occupying a rather large area, and in the eyes of the two brothers, the building is already very grand.From a distance, they could see a tall arch, 20 meters wide and ten meters high, all repaired from hard rock, with two iron gates underneath, swarthy, Tang Sanyi It can be seen at a glance that it is made of fine iron.

Through the iron gate, one can see the winding path leading to the secluded interior, a road leading directly to the interior, with tall trees on both sides.In the middle of the arch, there are four large characters, "Notting College."

As soon as Old Jack led the two brothers to the gate, they were immediately stopped by the gatekeeper, "What are you doing? Is this a place where you country folks can come?"

Old Jack's clothes were already well-dressed in Saint Soul Village, but when he arrived in Notting City, he looked like a countryman, and the concierge looked at him with a bit of disdain.

Old Jack quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Little brother, we are from Holy Soul Village. These two children are work-study students sent by our village this year. Look, what procedures do we need to go through?"

The concierge frowned, and said with a bit of yin and yang, "Can Caowo still produce golden phoenixes? There are people in a small village who have soul power? The college has not had a part-time student for many years. You are not fakes, are you?"

A flash of anger flashed in Old Jack's eyes, but he still swallowed his anger and took out the certificate issued by Su Yuntao, the deacon of Wuhun Temple last time, and handed it to the concierge.

The concierge took the certificate and looked up and down, "Wuhun blue silver grass? Wuhun musical instrument? Innately full of soul power? It's funny, this is really a joke in the world. I have also worked as a concierge in the academy for four years, and I haven't heard of it yet." I said that there are students who are innately full of soul power, the two boys' martial souls are blue silver grass and musical instruments, can they still be full of soul power? I think you must have forged this certificate from the Spirit Hall."

"You..." No matter how good-tempered Jack was, he couldn't bear it anymore, "You are making things difficult on purpose. Okay, you wait, I will go to the deacon of the Wuhun branch hall. Xiaosan, Xiaoyue , let's go." Saying that, Jack turned around and walked towards the city with the two brothers.

Naturally, the certificate of the Martial Soul Division could not be false, and the concierge knew about it, but the people who came to see off the new students were generally a little bit more interested, especially commoner families.The so-called Hades is easy, but the imp is hard to deal with.

Old Jack was born in a village. Even though he was a village head, he didn't know these things.

The concierge felt somewhat uneasy, if people from Wuhundian really came, he would not be able to afford it. Of course, he also believed that people from Wuhundian would never come to the academy to question these few bumpkins.

Depressed in my heart, the words in my mouth naturally didn't sound good, "Returning to the Holy Soul Village, I think the Beggar's Village is not bad."

"What did you say?" Old Jack turned around sharply. The concierge's words could be said to have touched the greatest pride in his heart. At the beginning he was able to turn against Tang Hao because of this, but now the concierge was from outside the village, which made him even more angry. unbearable.After a few steps, he came back and glared at the concierge.

The concierge was taken aback by the menacing old Jack, and couldn't help taking a step back, but he quickly reacted and shouted angrily: "Why? I'm not convinced, I said you are from the village of beggars, don't you?" Is there something wrong? Look at this little poor man, his clothes are all patched. I think you should find a place to beg. Our Notting College is not a good hall. Get out, get out."

While speaking, the porter raised his left hand and pushed it towards Jack's chest, about to drive the three of them away.

Just when Old Jack was furious, Tang San had already inserted between the two of them quickly, and used the move of pushing the window and looking at the moon in an orderly manner. Under the situation of mixing, an ordinary porter who does not know martial arts and is not prepared is still very easy to get the trick. Hearing a "plop", the porter has already sat down on the ground.

"Little San, you..." Jack stared dumbfounded at Tang San who stood in front of him, and unconsciously followed Tang Yue's tenderness behind him to pull him back a few steps, away from the concierge's reach.

"Stinky boy, you are looking for death." How shameful it is to be pushed down by a child, the gatekeeper got up from the ground in a rage, and was about to rush towards Tang San.Tang Yue raised her arm vigilantly by supporting the old man. Yesterday Tang San had taught him how to use hidden weapons. If Tang San suffered a disadvantage, the silent sleeve arrow would directly pierce the porter's eyes.

"Okay, stop." At this moment, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded, stopping the porter from moving.

The concierge was stunned for a moment, and then the anger on his face suddenly turned into flattery, the change was unimaginable, and he nodded and bowed to the visitor: "Master, you are back."

The two brothers turned their heads and saw a medium-sized, slightly thin man standing beside them at some point.It seems that this person is about 50 to [-] years old, with short black hair parted in threes and sevens, and his appearance is very ordinary, with his hands behind his back, but there is a special temperament on his body, and there is a bit of laziness and decadence between his eyes.

The 'Master' just glanced sideways at the porter, ignored him, and said to Old Jack: "Old man, can you show me the certificate of Wuhundian?"

After all, Old Jack was old, so he still knew how to read his words. From the porter's expression, he guessed that this middle-aged man had a high status in the academy, not to mention he had the title of master, so he hurriedly handed over the certificate in his hand.

The master looked at the proof, then shifted his eyes to Tang San, and looked him up and down, for some reason, although the master's gaze was not sharp, Tang San had a feeling of being seen through.

"It's proven to be true, old sir. I apologize to you on behalf of the academy for what happened just now. Leave these two children to me."

A person who was at least a soul master apologized to him. Old Jack's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he hurriedly shook his hands and said: "No need to apologize, no need to apologize. We are not good either. Master, these two children will trouble you Yes. Xiaosan, Xiaoyue, go in with the master, but you must be obedient."

The two brothers nodded, but did not speak.Tang San and Tang Yue had such a tacit understanding, he knew what Tang Yue was going to do when he made a move, but in Tang San's view, the concierge bullied the old and the weak, and already had a way to kill him, so he didn't think Tang Yue's preparation was very serious. too much.

Old Jack told the two of them a few more words before leaving.

The master glanced at the concierge lightly, "This is the first and last time. If you commit the crime again, you don't need to stay." His voice was very calm, but it was impossible to refute.

The porter was sweating profusely from his back, and hurriedly stepped aside in response.

The master looked down at Tang San, and squeezed out a smile on his face. His facial muscles seemed a little stiff, and the way he smiled was a bit unflattering.He took the hands of the two brothers and said, "Let's go in."

The master's hands were soft and dry, comfortable to hold, which invisibly gave Tang San a sense of trust.Under his leadership, the brothers finally entered the academy.

"Teacher, thank you." Tang San said to the master.

"Teacher? I'm not a teacher of the academy." The master looked down at Tang San, and said calmly.

"Not a teacher? Didn't you just say that you represented the college?"

The master shook his head. He who has always been impatient is extremely tolerant today, and once again squeezed out that ugly smile, "Who said that the teachers of the academy must be able to represent the academy?"

Tang San suddenly said: "I understand, then you must be the principal of the academy, or the leader."

The master laughed and said: "You are a six-year-old child, you are very smart. However, you still guessed wrong."

Tang San asked suspiciously: "Then you are?"

The master said: "I'm just a resident who eats and drinks here. You are the same as everyone else, call me master. The certificate of Wuhundian says your name is Tang San, right? Tang San, you have to understand , the meaning of the master and the teacher is very different, so don't make a mistake in the future. Unless..."

Speaking of this, after he heard what he said, there was a scorching light in his eyes, "Unless you really want me to be your teacher."

"Do you want to teach me martial arts?" Tang San asked.

The master stopped and stood facing the two brothers, "Then are you willing?"

Tang San also stopped naturally, looking up at the master in front of him.He didn't speak, neither agreed nor refused.He didn't speak, and the taciturn Tang Yue couldn't talk to each other, so the two of them stared blankly at the master.

The master looked at the eyes of the two men staring at him blankly, and that stiff smile appeared again, "Okay, you are indeed smart children."

Not speaking has two meanings. One is not to refuse in a hurry, so as not to offend the master.The second is to use actions to ask the master, why should I worship you as my teacher?

Like old Jack, the master raised his hand and rubbed Tang San's head, "Extraordinary talent, and so smart, it seems that I have to be persistent for a while. How to say, you are also the third and the third in this hundred years. Four twin spirits."

Hearing the master's words, Tang San was taken aback. Looking at the master, his eyes suddenly changed, and he held Tang Yue's hand tightly, with a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

The old master looked at him, smiled and said, "Aren't you wondering why I know you are twin martial souls?" While talking, he shook the certificate given to him by the old Jack in his hand, "It is Because of this proof. Maybe other people can't see the flaws in it, but if I can't see it too, then I'm not worthy of the word master."

"Let's talk about Tang San first. I once investigated 640 people whose spirits were blue silver grass. Among them, sixteen had spirit power. And even among these sixteen people with spirit power, none of them could More than one level, but you are at level ten with innate soul power. According to one of the ten core competitiveness of martial arts I have studied, the size of innate soul power is directly proportional to the quality of martial soul. Blue Silver Grass obviously Can’t be satisfied, so I’m sure, you should have another martial soul, and it’s a very powerful martial soul.”

"As for Tang Yue, the reason is similar. As far as I know, there is no family or village in Pangea that inherits musical instrument martial souls. Your martial soul should be mutated. In my previous investigations, there are mutant martial souls such as musical instruments. There are three in a hundred years, including civilians and members of big families, but all of them have mutated in the wrong direction. Among them, the highest soul power after awakening is only the second-level soul power. So, although I don’t know what your musical instrument martial soul is It came from a mutation, but its mutated quality should not be enough to satisfy your innate full soul power, so you should also have another powerful martial soul."

Tang San's eyes gradually calmed down, and he argued: "Everything has exceptions, why can't we be special cases?"

The master nodded seriously, and said: "That's right, there are exceptions to everything, but your martial spirit is Blue Silver Grass, even if your younger brother's instrument martial spirit might be an accident, you will not be that exception. Heaven Dou Empire In the past 100 years with the Star Luo Empire, although there have only been two twin martial souls, there have been nineteen born with full soul power. I have carefully studied the martial souls of each of them, and all of them are powerful existences. The youngest one has now reached the level of a great soul master. Except for 14 people who have powerful martial souls inherited from family blood, there are five exceptions."

"Their backgrounds are not noble, but they also possess innate full soul power. And this kind of accident is the existence of mutant martial souls. According to my research on mutant martial souls over the years, there is no such thing as any kind of martial soul that is comparable to blue silver The grass spirit will mutate. And your blue silver grass spirit is an ordinary blue silver grass, so I can be sure that my judgment is correct."

"The mutant spirit, what is that?" Tang San asked.

The master explained patiently: "This is the first question of how the martial spirit is inherited. The martial spirit that a person possesses is directly related to the martial spirit of his parents. The martial spirit of one party. This is the family-style inheritance of martial arts. And some exceptions are the so-called mutant martial arts. The source is also the martial spirit of the parents, but because the martial spirit between the father and mother has a certain variability , so the martial spirit of the inheritor will mutate and produce a new martial spirit. Mutated martial arts can mutate so powerfully that they even appear innately full of soul power. But most mutant martial arts will only become Weak. Mutated spirits are like the product of inbreeding, there is a high chance of idiots, but there may also be wise men far beyond ordinary people."

Tang San nodded. Suddenly, he let go of Tang Yue's hand, took a step back, and widened the distance between himself and the master. Immediately afterwards, he knelt on the ground with both knees, and kowtowed respectfully to the master three times.

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

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

The master smiled, very satisfied, then bent over and pulled Tang San up, "Silly boy, why do you have to kowtow when you are a teacher? Don't you know it's a courtesy to only worship the king and parents? Just bow."

Tang San, who had been taught strict etiquette by the Tang Sect, didn't think he had too much etiquette, and solemnly said: "A teacher for a day, a father for life. You should be worshiped by me."

The master looked at Tang San movedly, "Teacher for one day, father for life, good, good, it seems that I did not choose wrong." Then the master looked at Tang Yue, "Then Tang Yue, what do you think? "

"I can't take you as my teacher." Tang Yue hesitated for a moment, then said seriously.

"Xiao Yue, what are you talking about?" Tang San pressed Tang Yue's shoulder and said in surprise.

"From your words, I know that you are a person with profound knowledge, but...you give me the same feeling as Deacon Su Yuntao of the Wuhun Palace before, so I can guess that you are not a person who is proficient in actual combat. People?" Tang Yue seriously explained, "My brother and I only know a little about the profession of a soul master, so we really need a knowledgeable and experienced teacher to give guidance. But as far as I know, a soul master should be a person who needs to fight frequently. Therefore, the practice of actual combat is also very important, and the village head grandpa said that only strong force can guarantee better quality soul rings. I don't think you can provide more help in this regard, but look at your It looks like you can only worship one teacher in a lifetime, so..."

"So on the premise that your brother worships me as a teacher, you want to choose a strong man who is more proficient in actual combat as a teacher?" The master looked at the child with interest.

"That's right, that's it." Tang Yue nodded.

"Then, what if I don't allow your brother to teach you? Or what if your future teacher refuses to help your brother?" The master teased him with great interest.

"Xiaoyue..." Tang San looked at his younger brother who suddenly matured in surprise and guilt, and secretly reviewed his neglect of his younger brother in the past three months.

"Then..." Tang Yue frowned and said distressedly, "Can I study my Wuhun for you? I can guarantee that my Qin Wuhun will definitely surprise you. If I become a teacher... I must I made an agreement with my master that I have to help my brother. Besides, you are my brother's teacher, so I must respect you, and my master and brother will also be filial." Tang Yue looked at Tang San for help, and got his After affirming, he said in confusion, "Why didn't you help my brother or let him teach me?"

"Okay, you don't need to be a teacher, I'll ask your brother to teach you." The master rubbed Tang Yue's head dumbfounded. The child spoke in a logical manner at the beginning, but then turned into a silly child's talk.He is a smart child who pays close attention to family affection, but he is still a child, so he is a little naive.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Academic Affairs Office to report." The master held the hands of the two brothers again, and his big dry hands were slightly sweating because of excitement.

Notting Junior Soul Master Academy is not as big as it looks, it is mainly divided into several areas, the main teaching building, the playground and the dormitory building on the east side of the playground.

Although it is only a junior soul master academy, the requirements for students here are very strict. Even if they live next to the academy, students must live in the academy and accept unified management.

The Academic Affairs Office is on the first floor of the main teaching building. A teacher in his 60s is responsible for receiving new students, and there are two young teachers helping him.

The master put the certificate on the table and said to the elderly teacher: "Director Su, these are the work-study students sent by the Holy Soul Village this year. Please help them register."

Director Su said with a smile all over his face: "Master, why are you here, a rare visitor! Sit down for a while."

The master shook his head, and said to the two brothers: "You register here yourself, and these teachers will tell you how to do it. I'll go first, and I will find you when I turn back."

Tang San nodded, respectfully said: "Goodbye, teacher."

Tang Yue also said obediently: "Goodbye, master."

The master patted their heads, turned around and left.

Hearing Tang San's address to the master, Director Su seemed very interested, "Young man, your name is Teacher Master? He is not the teacher of our academy."

Tang San said: "But he is my teacher."

"You worship the master as your teacher?" He looked a little weird, trying to hold back a smile.

Tang San said: "Is there anything wrong? Teacher."

Director Su shook his head repeatedly, and said with a smile: "No, no. I didn't expect the master to accept apprentices. However, you are still a student of this academy, and you must abide by the rules and regulations of the academy from now on, do you understand?"

Tang San nodded.

The two young teachers who helped were so self-cultivated, one of them took a look at the certificate from the Spirit Hall, and said with a smile, "Tang San, right? As a teacher of the academy, I want to remind you. The master is not a casual Yes. Any soul master can only recognize one master, otherwise, he will be tolerated by the world. Do you really think the master is suitable? Oh, you are still born with full soul power. Unfortunately, the martial soul is blue silver grass .”

Seeing the words "innately full of soul power" on the certificate, all the teachers present showed surprise on their faces, but the blue silver grass turned their surprise into regret.

Tang San looked at the three college teachers in front of him strangely, "Is there anything inappropriate?"

Director Su glared at the young teacher who spoke, and said: "Although Master has a weird personality, from a certain point of view, he is an 'invincible' existence in terms of martial arts. Anyway, your martial soul is also Blue Silver Grass , it doesn’t matter to worship him as a teacher. Well, let’s do it like this. This is something for you two, and the college will distribute it for free. You live in Room [-] of the dormitory building. The teacher in charge there will arrange for you to work as part-time students. Go .”

"Thank you." After receiving the things that Director Su handed over, the two brothers turned around and walked out of the Academic Affairs Office after saluting.

Director Su gave them a set of school uniforms, the white texture looked very clean.Just after walking out of the Academic Affairs Office, Tang San faintly heard the voice of the young teacher who had spoken before in the Academic Affairs Office.

"The master is indeed 'invincible', but it is theoretically invincible. Of course, his theories must be able to become a reality."

"That's enough, Grandmaster is the dean's friend. Don't judge yourself. Although no one has proved his theory to be correct, no one has proved his theory to be wrong. In the Wuhun world, Grandmaster is a well-known figure .”

"No, Director, it should be a well-known clown."

"This year is really strange. Holy Soul Village actually produced two work-students who were born full of soul power at once, but unfortunately they are all useless martial souls. Only our famous masters are willing to accept such hopeless disciples."

Hearing the conversation inside, the two brothers walked out without stopping.There was a trace of disdain on Tang San's face, of course it was not aimed at the master, but at the three teachers in the Academic Affairs Office.

Just from a simple proof, it can be seen that he and Xiaoyue have twin martial souls. Is it just a joke?

Invincible in theory?As Xiaoyue said, what I need most now is theory.The strength of the master cannot be imparted to the apprentice, what is imparted is knowledge.These people can't even figure this out, and it's a good thing they are the teachers of the academy.
