"Okay, Grandpa will agree to you."
Ma Xiunuo knew Tang San, he was a child who was very eager for knowledge, and wanted to achieve something in the research of martial souls. He would definitely go to the Spirit City in the future, where there were the most martial soul information and soul master books on the continent.
Now, he probably knew that he came from a small village and had a gap with the students there in Spirit City. He wanted to wait until his strength really improved and he had a say before he set off.
"Grandpa Ma Xiunuo, thank you for your understanding." Tang San thanked him, bid farewell to Ma Xiunuo, and prepared to go back to Nuoding Academy for a while.
As soon as school started, he took a class and followed Ma Xiunuo and others to hunt for soul rings in Nuoding Forest.
Now that the soul ring has been obtained, he naturally had to go back and take a look.
Otherwise, the people in the academy would have forgotten him, this new student.
"Stop, Nuoding Academy, idlers, do not enter."
The gatekeeper stopped Tang San.
The reason is simple, Tang San's appearance has changed, and the gatekeeper naturally can't recognize him, and he is not wearing the Nuoding Academy uniform, but the loose "wild outfit" of brown and green that he wore for hunting souls.
"I am a student of Nuoding Academy, I just came back from hunting soul rings, and I haven't had time to change my clothes." Tang San said.
"Soul master?" The gatekeeper was a bit cautious, but still asked, "But, you are such a kid, I can't recognize you, I am familiar with the students in the school, you... I have never seen you."
"I know Brother Tao, the first time I came to the academy, we also chatted a few words." Tang San reminded.
"Brother Tao? Wait, are you a distant relative of Master Su Yuntao?" The gatekeeper still thought that Tang San was Su Yuntao's relative, and was surprised, "How did your appearance change?"
"Martial soul mutation, affecting the appearance." Tang San released his martial soul, and the blue silver grass with silver veins grew out of his palm. The yellow soul ring made the gatekeeper respectful immediately, "You have become a soul master!"
"Mediocre, my cultivation talent is not bad, and it was Brother Tao and Master Ma Xiunuo who took me to hunt for soul rings." Tang San smiled and chatted with the gatekeeper for a few words, and then went to the academic affairs building of the academy.
The director of the academic affairs department, Su, saw Tang San and felt a bit familiar. He asked doubtfully, "Little friend, are you here to report? The academy enrollment is over... Forget it, show me your martial soul certificate, I will arrange you to enroll, there are not many new students this year, and the ninth dormitory is not full yet."
"Director Su, we haven't seen each other for a few days, don't you recognize me?" Tang San took out the new martial soul certificate that Ma Xiunuo had made for him, "I am Tang San."
"Tang San? Tang San!" Director Su was shocked. When he learned that Tang San had obtained the soul ring, and his appearance changed after obtaining the soul ring, he was greatly surprised, "You got the soul ring? You came back so soon? Didn't you ask for half a month off? And, what's the matter with your appearance? Adding a soul ring can also beautify? Well~ It doesn't look like a civilian born, but a young master of a certain family."
"It's the influence of the martial soul mutation, which caused some changes in the body." Faced with Director Su's bunch of questions, Tang San only picked up the ones that could be answered, "I came here this time, just to tell the teachers, I have returned from hunting souls and can attend classes normally."
"It's worthy of being a studious child. If other students take leave to hunt for souls, they will probably wait until the leave is over before they come back even if they get the soul ring early." Director Su confirmed that the Tang San in front of him was the one who came to report at the beginning, the same easy-going tone, the same studious attitude.
This is definitely not a hidden noble son.
It's just a good kid whose martial soul mutation is a bit beyond common sense. The key is that he is not arrogant or arrogant, which makes people happy.
"Junior students, become soul masters, and you can apply for graduation. You also know how to read, do you want to apply for graduation?"
"No, I am far from mature, and I am not even familiar with the academy. Suddenly graduating, I feel a bit strange... Besides, I haven't even been to the library of the academy, where there are more books than the Spirit Hall. ...Before, I was growing wildly, and now I have to lay a foundation, so that I won't be laughed at when I go out in the future." Tang San smiled.
"Haha, you are a soul master, who dares to laugh at you in front of you?"
Director Su laughed, and was very satisfied with Tang San's maturity. Of course, Tang San was such a genius, the higher the level when he graduated from Nuoding Academy, the greater the reputation of Nuoding Academy. Maybe it can attract children from other small cities to come here to study.
More importantly, Tang San was a student in Mo Hen's class, and Mo Hen was the director of education he was in charge of. With such a genius, he could also be promoted and get a raise.
Just think about it, it feels sweet.
"But, you are right, you are only six years old, too young, you really need to settle down."
"Then I'm leaving... By the way, there is one more thing, Director Su, you tell Teacher Mo Hen about my return, so that he won't be surprised by my change." Tang San remembered something and said to Director Su.
"No problem."
After leaving the academic affairs office, Tang San went to the seventh dormitory.
From his roommate's mouth, he learned that in the three or four days he took leave, Xiao Wu had become the boss of Nuoding Academy. Without Tang San's help, she could still defeat Xiao Chenyu and others.
But in Tang San's view, with Xiao Wu's strength, she could only abuse vegetables.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was eating the packed food from the second floor with Wang Sheng and others.
The source of money, naturally not the gold soul coin that the Spirit Hall gave to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu had no specific concept of money, and probably spent it early, or even was pitted by some merchants in Noding City.
From Wang Sheng and others?
Even more impossible.
Children from small villages and towns, or work-study students, can afford to eat, and that's not bad. They can't afford to go to the second floor.
Therefore, there is only one possibility:
It was the "tribute" collected from the noble students in the academy.
"Little San, you are back?" Xiao Wu saw Tang San, who had changed a little bit, and was a little puzzled, but still recognized him. As a 100,000-year-old soul beast, she had her own way of distinguishing.
"He is actually Tang San? I thought he was a new student who arrived at Nuoding Academy a few days late and went to the wrong dormitory... But after getting the soul ring, the change was so big? It's much better than the effect of the nobles applying cucumbers, no wonder everyone wants to become a soul master." Wang Sheng was surprised by Tang San's appearance change, and couldn't help looking forward to becoming a handsome guy after he got the soul ring in the future.
The others were more or less the same.
Tang San knew that Wang Sheng's idea would fall through.
His appearance could change because he had half of the blood of the Blue Silver Emperor, or genes, inherited from the Blue Silver Emperor who turned into a human form.
After obtaining the soul ring of the Thousand Roots Banyan, it was very likely that it stimulated his appearance genes of the Blue Silver Emperor, causing some of them to be activated and show dominance.
And this also confirmed his previous guess, that the so-called bloodline is no different from genes.
The bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor is not like the Golden Dragon King core that was forcibly sealed in Tang Wulin's body, but a kind of genetic material that exists in every cell of his body.
To abolish his bloodline, it would be tens of millions of times harder than killing him.
If he could really abolish his half of the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, then he would also rot and die, because that would be equivalent to destroying the genetic material in every cell of his body, making the cells unable to divide autonomously.
Although he didn't know if the martial soul inheritance of this Douluo Continent was based on genes, this Douluo was a planet, a planet revolving around the sun, and the physical rules should not be too different from the earth.
At least, from the appearance, Tang Hao looked very ordinary, and did not become handsome because he became a titled Douluo; other soul masters, as far as he observed, whether it was Su Yuntao or Sisi, they would not because the soul ring was very suitable for the martial soul, and make the appearance change greatly.
The reason is actually very simple, the martial soul, although it exists in the human body, but it is very stable, and most of the time it does not affect the appearance of the human body, at most it makes the body stronger and more flexible after absorbing the soul ring, appearance and the like, unless the martial soul mutation affects the gene expression of the external body, otherwise there will be no obvious changes.
And Tang San can, because he has half of the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, but Tang San prefers to call it a genetic factor, and it is precisely because of the existence of this genetic factor that he can make his appearance change significantly because of a soul ring.
Because the genetic factor is destined.
Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and mice are born to dig holes.
This fantasy world is not so fantasy, and many places are still scientific.
For example, in the original book, Oscar, he could use Tang San's blood to replicate the martial souls such as the Blue Silver Emperor and the Haotian Hammer. It is estimated that the soul skill helped him to analyze the genetic factors representing the Blue Silver Emperor and the Haotian Hammer from Tang San's blood.
The Mirror Beast is a peculiar soul beast...
Wang Sheng came back to his senses and asked Tang San, "Tang San, you actually got the soul ring? Didn't you say that your martial soul is the Blue Silver Grass? How did your soul power increase so fast? Is it the same as Sister Xiao Wu, who is also full of innate soul power?"
"It's just the innate sixth-level Blue Silver Grass, maybe it's just mutated." Tang San shook his head, "And, I have a unique insight into the cultivation of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul."
Xiao Wu threw away the carrot in her hand and came to Tang San's face, and said, "Little San, do you want to fight with me and see who is the strongest in Nuoding!"
"If you win, I will give you the Nuoding boss, how about it?"
"I am an auxiliary soul master, and my combat power is not strong." Tang San did not refuse, after all, he also wanted to try his own strength, Xiao Wu was a good opponent, but-
"I have to prepare for a while, study my first soul skill thoroughly, and then compare with you. After all, you are a soul master before me, and you must be more flexible than me in using soul skills."
When Xiao Wu heard that Tang San chose to be an auxiliary soul master, she was a little disappointed, but she heard his latter meaning, did he want to fight with her?
Aren't the auxiliary ones weak chickens?
"You are an auxiliary, and you still want to fight with me?" Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, "I thought you would refuse... But, Sister Xiao Wu will accompany you."
"By the way, what is your first soul skill?"
"Endless Life, a recovery-type soul skill that allows me to stand on the ground and restore people to their peak state, but the effect is not so good for poisoning, evil diseases and the like." Tang San slowly opened his mouth, released his martial soul, and the yellow hundred-year soul ring shocked Wang Sheng and others in the seventh dormitory.
"Hundred-year soul ring!"
