Yang Kai was confused seeing the man blocking his way.
Upon closer inspection, Yang Kai did not feel any malice from him. So, he just stopped to see what was going on with the person!
The person was an average-looking middle-aged man with short black hair and slugging eyes. He was most probably in his 40s and was wearing a dress fully clad in black.
Yang Kai looked at the man, scrutinising him but what puzzled Yang Kai was not his scholarly aura and unique temperament but his Spirit Power.
The man only had a Soul Power equivalent to that of level 29.
This person was Yu Xiaogang, the friend of the Dean of Notting Academy.
When Yu Xiaogang saw Yang Kai, his sluggish eyes had a bright spark.
"This person deserves to be a genius, his temperament is unique and rare among the boys of his age."
This was Master's first impression of Yang Kai.
----- Back in Time, A day ago -----
Notting College, In the Office of Academic Affairs.
"What did you say? A nine-year-old soul master?" The master slammed the table, staring at Director Su in disbelief.
"Yes, I personally tested it yesterday. His Spirit power of nineteenth-level is undoubtedly
true." Director Su said with a smile on his face.
Yu Xiaogang was surprised. At first, he didn't care about Yang Kai, who was hailed a genius. In front of Tang San his disciple with Twin Martial Spirit, everyone pales.
But after hearing the name of the boy, somewhat familiar he decided to enquire a bit and went to the academic official building.
Upon hearing how outrageous the genius was, Yu Xiaogang could barely retain his calm.
A Nine-year-old, with a soul power of nineteenth grade. This is a super genius. Even the geniuses of the Spirit Hall pale in front of this genius!!
Even the Youngest Title Douluo in the mainland was not so monstrous at the same age!
Was this boy born with congenital full of soul power?
Yu Xiaogang was lost in his thoughts.
All of his worldviews were turned upside down after hearing the Soul Power of the boy.
He has never heard of anyone having such a fast speed of cultivation. One must remember that he has analysed all the geniuses among the younger generation present on the mainland but he had no information about Yang Kai as if he appeared out of nowhere.
Is this a gift from God?
He encountered two innate soul-powered geniuses in a short time! Is this the compensation given to him by fate?
Yu Xiaogang was excited thinking about this. In his mind, he has already considered Yang Kai as his disciple.
"Although I Yu Xiaogang is incapable to cultivate and humiliated, my students will be famous on the mainland!" Yu Xiaogang pledged to himself.
At this time, in his heart, Yang Kai has become his student.
"Where is he now?" His eyes suddenly lit up on the decadent old face, as the master exclaimed in excitement.
"He is also assigned to the Seventh Shelter like Tang San." Director Su frowned.
After getting a reply from Director Su, the master walked out.
After going out, Yu Xiaogang moved toward the Seventh Dormitory. Suddenly, he halted his steps as he remembered something important. He has left his research papers incomplete.
So after some hesitation, he decided to go to his office and complete the research papers.
Although Yang kai was a genius he was not a twin spirit, unlike Tang San. So in Yu Xiaogang's mind, Tang San was more important.
But that does not mean he didn't want to take Yang Kai as his student. A nine-year-old to cultivate up to level 19 at such a young age is definitely a genius worth taking in as his disciple.
Having one more genius will not only bring him high prestige but also a resounding name in the world of Soul Master.
Yu Xiaogang decided to let Tang San approach Yang Kai and befriend him. That way it would be a lot easier for him to convince Yang Kai to become his disciple.
Thinking of this, Master was satisfied.
Later the same night, Yu Xiaogang was busy with his research in his office. Seeing no progress in his research he decided to take some rest. Suddenly, he remembered where he heard the name "Yang Kai".
That was the person that defeated Tang San a month ago.
Recalling this, Yu Xiaogang was in a hurry to meet Yang Kai and decided to meet him in the morning.
----- Current Time, On the street in front of the Academy Affairs building -----
Yu Xiaogang looked at Yang Kai with a faery gaze in his eye.
Feeling Yang Kai's faery gaze Yang Kai squinted his brows as he felt uncomfortable.
" I've been waiting to meet you for a while, Yang Kai!" replied Grandmaster politely.
"Who might you be? I don't think I've ever seen you before!" Yang Kai replied indifferently.
"Oh! My mistake! Allow me to introduce myself. You can call me Grandmaster. Others call me that. As for my real name I've forgotten it a long ago."
When Yang Kai heard him saying that he forgot his name there was a clear sign of displeasure on his face.
"The man is just a mortal and clearly is in his forties, yet he pretends as if he's lived for thousands of years even forgetting his name!! Ridiculous! Is this person retarded or suffering from amnesia?" Yang Kai mocked the man in his mind.
"So what do I owe Grandmaster a visit?" Yang Kai asked while he was still confused over the fact the person approached him.
Seeing Yang Kai's confused face, Yu Xiaogang knew Yang Kai did not know his name or had never heard of it.
Thinking of it Yu Xiaogang sighed. He thought he was famous throughout the mainland by publishing "The Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirit." and that everyone would have known or at least heard of his name.
But Yang Kai didn't know Yu Xiaogang's identity.
"Ahem...you can call me Grandmaster. As for why I came to you? It's because I need to analyse your Martial Spirit for research." Yu Xiaogang replied.
"Me? Research my Martial Spirit?" Yang Kai asked as he sneered with contempt.
Asking somebody about the details of their Martial Spirit was considered taboo in the Soul Master community. Only during a duel can a person introduce his Martial Spirit and Soul Power. This was a form of etiquette.
So when Yang Kai heard this person wants to research his Martial Spirit, he held sheer contempt for this so-called Grandmaster. Moreover, this person just has a Soul Power of level 29, whereas he has already reached level 40. So, what can he research with his Waste Spirit Power?
The more Yang Kai thought, the more he held contempt for Grandmaster.
"What a hypocrite clown!" Yang Kai cursed Grandmaster in his mind.
Seeing some changes in Yang Kai's expression Grandmaster did not pay much attention and continued.
"I'm a theorist and a researcher and I research Spirit Beasts, their characteristics, their impacts on Spirit Masters and their Martial Spirits and keep a detailed record of them."
"Other than researching about Spirit Beasts, I also gathered vast knowledge from many profound books and even found out a unique way and pattern of evolution and cultivation of the Martial Spirit. All these things are included in the 10 Core Theories, a valuable part of my research."
Yu Xiaogang replied with pride as he showed off his profound knowledge in front of Yang Kai to get his appreciation.
"I have even gathered data and analyzed most of the geniuses of the mainland if not all."
Saying this he meaningfully looked at Yang Kai. He would not have heard about Yang Kai and how monstrous his talent was if not for Tang San meeting and befriending him in a certain turn of coincidental events.
" Yeah, it's amazing for a single person to research all these. I presume Grandmaster did quite a hard job all these years. But what does that have to do with me?" replied Yang Kai politely without showing any discontent on his face.
He could still not understand the motive of this so-called Grandmaster to approach him.
Hearing Yang Kai appreciating his hard work and his research, Yu Xiaogang was very happy. His act of being forceful and establishing a profound knowledgeable image in Yang Kai's mind was successful.
Thinking about it Grandmaster was full of expectations to accept a genius like Yang Kai as his disciple.
He wanted Yang Kai to worship him as master willingly, but to his dismay, Yang Kai was clueless about his thoughts.
So Yu Xiaogang decided to ask Yang Kai directly.
"I want to accept you as a disciple!" Yu Xiaogang replied without beating around the bush.
