[Douluo] Twin Souls

Walking on the road, Tang San took Tang Lan's hand and silently followed Old Jack, and the two turned their heads to look in the direction of the village from time to time.

"Xiao San, Xiao Lan, are you reluctant to part with the village or with your alcoholic father?" Jack asked with a smile as he patted Tang Lan's head.

"A little bit." Tang San replied in a low voice, and squeezed Tang Lan's palm, comforting his younger brother a little.

Jack smiled slightly, and said: "Compared to my ineffective grandsons, you two children are much more sensible. If you were my grandsons, how wonderful it would be, that alcoholic Tang Hao is really lucky. Don't think too much about it. There are too many, the world outside is very vast. When you come to the academy, you will meet many friends and learn a lot of knowledge. After you have the title of soul master, the country will send you a monthly subsidy. At that time, you Life at home can be better.”

After all, Tang San was a man in two lifetimes, listening to Jack's words, his emotions had gradually returned to normal.He stopped his younger brother slightly, and patted his back with the other hand to comfort him.I also began to be impatient with the desire for the outside world, and asked:

"Grandpa Jack, can you tell me about the academy? What exactly is that?"

Jack smiled and said, "College is of course a place to study. Although I have never been to it, I still know most of it. Our village has a place for work-study students every year, but there have been no work-study students for many years. Fortunately, this year, the two of you brothers can enroll together. There are still many preferential conditions for work-study students. Tuition and accommodation fees are exempted, and you only need to pay for meals yourself. You can do some simple work in the college. In exchange for food, such as cleaning classrooms and the like. Generally speaking, the work-study students’ study in the college is similar to free. If you pay to study, it is not something we poor people can afford.”

When Tang Lan heard Old Jack's explanation, he also became curious.Slowly transfer the sadness of leaving home just now.

Tang San said: "Father said, let us find a blacksmith to work after we arrive at the academy."

"You two? Work in a blacksmith shop? Are you kidding me? I think Tang Hao is really crazy."

Old Jack said angrily, "You two brothers are not as tall as a casting hammer. Is there any blacksmith shop that would accept an apprentice like you, not to mention that blacksmithing is a profession that is not valued, and there will be no part-time jobs. How much income. You just need to study hard in the academy and that's enough."

"However, speaking of it, if you can achieve something in the academy, you should ask your alcoholic father to save some money for you. There will be no places for work-study students in the intermediate soul master academy in the future, so it will cost a lot of money Only the soul master's subsidy is far from enough to learn."

Since both Tang San and Tang Lan were born with full soul power, Old Jack already treated them brothers as soul masters.

Tang San looked at Jack suspiciously, and said: "Is there still an intermediate soul master academy? What's the difference from a junior soul master academy? Both are academies, and they should all teach soul master knowledge."

Old Jack patiently explained: "Of course it's different. The Junior Soul Master Academy teaches some basic things, and there are also some cultural courses to learn. Only children who have just awakened their martial arts are accepted as students, and the schooling period is six years. , when they are 12 years old, if they have no future, they will be an ordinary soul master. But if they have good potential, most people will choose to go to the intermediate soul master academy for further study and study until the end. The things taught in the intermediate soul master academy are It is more advanced, but the difficulty of learning will also increase greatly. If you cannot meet the requirements of the academy, you will not be able to graduate smoothly, which is different from the junior soul master academy."

These were new to Tang San and Tang Lan, both of them were very curious and listened to Old Jack's explanation very seriously.

"There are beginners and intermediates, so there must be advanced?"

Old Jack nodded his head, his eyes showed a bit of envy,

"Advanced soul master academies don't need to think about it, that's not something anyone can enter. In our Heaven Dou Empire, there are only two advanced soul master academies, and the number of students enrolled each year is less than 100. That is the cradle of the future. Any student who graduates from the Advanced Soul Master Academy, whether it is the country or the Spirit Hall, will rush to get it, and will be directly awarded the title of nobleman."

"Noble? Such good conditions." Tang San said in surprise.

"Of course, a soul master is the most noble profession, especially a high-level soul master. They are all talents. Therefore, if we ordinary people want to reach the sky in one step, becoming a high-level soul master is obviously the best shortcut. However, ordinary background Common people, how many people can have such a good spirit? Even if there is, without the support of a big family, it will be difficult to graduate from the Advanced Soul Master Academy."

"The graduation exam is my business, why do I need other people's assistance?" The two brothers were a little puzzled.

Old Jack sighed, and said: "This is the gap, the gap between the poor and the rich, between the common people and the nobles. The requirements for graduation from the Junior Soul Master Academy are very simple. As long as the martial spirit can reach level ten, you can obtain a soul master under the leadership of the academy teacher. Huan. It is enough to successfully advance to the title of soul master. It is not difficult, as long as a child with martial soul power can do it when awakening. It is said that the tenth level of soul power is the easiest to improve. .”

"But it's different when you go to the Intermediate Soul Master Academy. If you want to graduate from here, your martial spirit must reach level [-], and you can get the second soul ring and the title of Great Soul Master. Level [-] to level [-] It is a place that many soul masters can't reach in their lifetime, and. After reaching the twentieth level, if you want to obtain a soul ring, you must rely on your own strength to hunt and kill soul beasts to obtain a soul ring. That is extremely dangerous. If you are born in a noble family Family, accompanied by family warriors, is naturally much less dangerous. But soul masters like us who come from ordinary backgrounds can only rely on themselves."

"The graduation requirements of Advanced Soul Master Academy are even more stringent. Only by passing the bottleneck of level [-] and obtaining the third soul ring can one rise from the title of great soul master to the title of soul master. It is said that level [-] is a threshold. In the past, you could be called a powerful soul master and a real nobleman. If you can’t pass it, it will be difficult. Moreover, there seems to be some restrictions on obtaining soul rings at level [-]. Specifically, you should learn in the academy Anyway, it seems that less than one-third of the students from the high-level soul master academy can actually graduate."

After listening to Old Jack's words, the two had some basic impressions of Douluo Dalu's teaching of soul masters.

"Grandpa Jack. Didn't you say that there are as many as ten titles of soul masters? Students who graduate from the Advanced Soul Master Academy are soul masters. How can we obtain those titles later?"

Old Jack smiled wryly and said: "How do I know, those who surpass the title of Soul Master are all big men. Like the Soul Saint who came out of our village, it was directly supported by the state at the beginning. I heard people say that the soul Master training, the more difficult and dangerous the further you get to the back, how many can truly reach the top level existence like Title Douluo? It can even be said that there are no such existences in our Tiandou Empire and Star Luo Empire now? Not even sure."

Old Jack only had some simple understanding of soul masters, and he didn't talk about them in detail.Tang San and Tang Lan understood that they could only slowly explore this knowledge by themselves in the academy, especially about things like spirit beasts and spirit rings.

It is not far from Holy Soul Village to Notting City, and the three of them walked for half a day.I ate some dry food on the way, and in the afternoon, I could already see the city wall in the distance.

Although Notting City is not considered a large city, but because it is very close to the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, the city walls are also thickly built.After the two brothers and Old Jack were checked like passers-by, they entered Notting City.

"Xiao San, Xiao Lan! Grandpa will send you back to the college later. The two of you brothers should listen to the teacher and support each other in the college. Don't leave the college without authorization. When the semester is over, Grandpa Jack When I come to pick you up again, it will be almost Chinese New Year."

After all, it was the first time for the two brothers to leave home, and they felt somewhat flustered, subconsciously said: "Grandpa Jack, are you leaving so soon?"

Old Jack smiled wryly and said: "Hotels are not affordable for us poor people. You have to live up to your expectations. When grandpa sees you two next time, I hope you have become a soul master. In that case, our Holy Soul Village will Proud of you two brothers."

Notting Junior Soul Master Academy is located in the west of Notting City.Old Jack asked passers-by several times, and finally brought Tang San and Tang Lan here.

In the distance, they had already seen a tall arch.The arches are 20 meters wide and ten meters high, and they are all repaired from hard rocks.There are two iron gates below, they are dark, Tang San can tell at a glance that they are made of high-quality fine iron.

Through the iron gate, one can see the winding paths 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."

Just from the gate of the academy, you can see how important the profession of soul master is in Douluo Continent. This is only a junior soul master academy.

Old Jack brought Tang San and Tang Lan just before the gate, when he was immediately stopped by the young man guarding the gate.

"What are you doing? Is this a place where you country folks can come?"

Old Jack's attire was considered sleek 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, "Caowo can still produce golden phoenixes? Is there someone in a small village who has soul power? And two in a row? The college has not had a work-study student for many years. Don't you think so?" Counterfeit."

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 and folding fan? Are they all innately full of soul power? It's funny, this is really a joke in the world. I have been a concierge in the academy for four years, and I haven't seen it yet." I heard that there are students who are born with full soul power. The martial souls of these two boys are blue silver grass and useless fans, but they can 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 is, 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, Xiaolan , let's go." Saying that, Jack led Tang San around and walked towards the city.

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 two 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 unbearable.After a few steps, he came back and glared at the concierge.

The concierge was startled by the menacing old Jack, and couldn't help taking a step back, but he quickly reacted and cursed himself in his heart, isn't he just an old man, what's so scary.

"Why? I'm not convinced. I said you came from a beggar's village. Is it wrong? Look at these two little poor devils, their clothes are covered in patches. In my opinion, you should find a place to beg. Notting College is not a good school. Get out, get out."

While talking, the porter raised his left hand and pushed Jack's chest to drive them away.

Just when old Jack was furious, suddenly, there was a thin figure between the two of them. He also raised his left arm, and his delicate little hand barely reached the doorman's hand. Pushing away with his left hand.At the same time, another thin figure quickly took a step forward, the sole of his foot was just behind the porter's left foot, and at the same time his right hand was raised, and together with his left hand, he clamped the porter's hand downward.

Originally, this palm was supposed to cut at the crook of the opponent's left arm, preventing him from exerting force, but the person who cast it was really short, so he could only hold the gatekeeper's wrist. His movements were extremely fast, and his body moved forward at the same time. Probe, push forward with both hands while shaking off the porter's left hand, just pushing against the porter's lower abdomen.

There was an extra foot behind the porter's left foot. Although that foot was not big, it was enough to accomplish his due effect. The lower abdomen was stressed, and his feet were stirred. Hearing a common sound, the porter had already sat down on the ground.

"Xiao San, Xiao Lan, you..." Jack stared dumbfounded at the two standing in front of him.

It was Tang San and Tang Lan who shot. Tang Lan came out first to separate the porter from Old Jack, and Tang San came out from the side and quickly subdued the door.The stance they used was not even the unique technique of Tang Sect, it was just the simplest stance in martial arts in Tang San's original world.Of course, from the perspective of their figures, they will naturally be deformed.Not only was he unable to cut the opponent's arm, but the hand that should have been pushing on the opponent's chest was also pushed on the lower abdomen. Of course, the result was the same.

Although Tang San and Tang Lan were not big, their strength was definitely not small.These months of hammering were not in vain, even without using Xuantian Kungfu, they still knocked down the porter in one fell swoop.

"Stinky boy, you're looking for death." It's so embarrassing to be pushed down by two children, the porter was furious, got up from the ground and was about to rush towards Tang San.

"Okay, stop."

At this moment, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded, stopping the doorman 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."

Tang San and Tang Lan turned their heads to look, only to see a slightly thin man of medium build had come to their side 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 born as the village head, so he was good at observing words and deeds. From the expression on the porter's face, it could be seen that the middle-aged man in front of him had a high status in the academy, not to mention that he had the title of master there.He hurriedly handed over the certificate in his hand.

The master looked at the proof, then shifted his eyes to Tang San and Tang Lan, and looked them up and down. For some reason, although the master's eyes were not sharp, the two had a kind of transparent look. Feel.

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