Chapter 136 Taking the Path of Death to the End
In Nottingham.
After asking around along the way.
Old Jack and Tang San already knew that the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy was located in the west of Notting City.
The two were heading west of the city.
On the way, Old Jack told Tang San.
He was able to attend Notting Academy because Holy Soul Village had a work-study student spot available.
The Holy Soul Village gave this spot to Tang San.
Thanks to his work-study student status, Tang San was able to attend Notting Academy free of tuition and accommodation fees, and only needed to do some work within his capabilities at the academy.
Then, Old Jack expressed his earnest expectations for Tang San:
"Little San, I hope that after you become a Soul Master, you can help the villagers of Holy Soul Village as much as you can. When that happens, Holy Soul Village will be proud of you."
"Yes, I will, Grandpa Jack."
Tang San nodded faintly upon hearing this, but what he was really thinking remained unknown.
The two walked and talked.
From Old Jack, Tang San learned some things about the relationships between commoners and nobles in various levels of Soul Master academies.
Understanding the importance of the ruling class and the aristocracy gave him a sense of longing and identification with them.
Half an hour later.
Finally, Old Jack and Tang San arrived at their destination.
From afar, they saw a tall archway, twenty meters wide and more than ten meters high, constructed from solid rock.
The words "Notting College" are engraved in the center of the tall archway.
Below the archway are two dark iron gates.
Tang San had practiced the inner sect secrets of the Tang Sect, the eye-training technique, the Purple Demon Eye.
His eyesight was excellent; he recognized at a glance that the iron gate was made of the finest iron.
Tang San subconsciously touched the sleeve dart hanging on his left wrist, thinking to himself:
"If I could possess so much refined iron and then forge it all into iron essence, I could probably make at least a hundred hidden blades, right?!"
Just as Old Jack and Tang San stood in front of Notting Academy, lost in thought.
Not far away.
In a shadow invisible to the naked eye.
Two pairs of eyes were watching them with great interest.
These two gazes came from Ye Qifeng and Gui Mei.
After entering Nottingham.
Ye Qifeng, accompanied by Gui Mei, first went to the Spirit Hall branch located in the center of Notting City.
From Bishop Matthew, who was stationed at the Notting City branch of the Spirit Hall.
They obtained information on all eligible children in Notting City who awakened their martial spirits this year.
A detailed map of the Nottingham Territory.
And a catalog of all the soul beasts kept in the Soul Hunting Forest near Notting City.
It is worth mentioning that.
Ye Qifeng also met Master Su Yuntao, who was described as a blind Douluo by the keyboard immortals on Blue Star.
From Su Yuntao, they also learned the exact location of the waterfall near Holy Soul Village, which has a drop of about 100 meters.
After getting what you want.
Night Seven Wind, accompanied by Ghostly Appearance, arrived at the gate of Notting Academy without stopping.
They arrived a few minutes earlier than Old Jack and Tang San.
The shadow where Ye Qifeng and the ghost were located was actually the shadow realm created by Ye Qifeng's third soul skill, Dark Vision Realm.
The ghost stood in the shadows, utterly terrified.
What he didn't expect was that the Holy Son's third soul skill was even stronger than his own Ghostly Mist concealment ability, and could even erase all traces of his presence.
"Your Highness, what brings us here?"
Ye Qifeng's gaze remained fixed on the six-year-old boy covered in patches not far away.
Normally a quiet and reserved person, the ghost finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind.
He simply couldn't quite understand many of His Highness's recent actions.
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly, thinking to himself that even ghosts and demons have their moments of restraint.
He did not answer the ghost immediately.
Instead, he took out the data he had obtained from Matthew, which showed all the eligible children in Notting City who had awakened their martial souls this year, turned to one of the pages, and handed it to Ghost:
"Elder Ghost, take a look."
The ghost took the book in surprise, examined it carefully for a few moments, then its eyes suddenly sharpened, its brows furrowed, and after a moment it said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, there's something wrong with this information!"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Night Seven Winds asked the question knowingly.
The ghost explained:
"As we all know, Blue Silver Grass is a typical useless martial soul. People who awaken Blue Silver Grass martial souls cannot possibly have the aptitude of innate full soul power, unless, unless the martial soul they awaken is not Blue Silver Grass, but Blue Silver Emperor."
"Blue Silver Emperor?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ghostly paused for a moment, then looked more closely at the information in his hand. "Tang San? His surname is Tang?"
As if remembering something, the ghost suddenly looked up, its gaze snapping towards Tang San, a chilling aura emanating from it.
Fortunately, Ye Qifeng's Dark Shadow Realm acted as a barrier, otherwise Tang Hao, who was also in the shadows, would very likely have discovered them.
Ye Qifeng chuckled:
"It seems that Elder Ghost has already understood."
In front of Notting College.
"Hey, what are you two doing? Don't stand here blocking the door! Don't you country bumpkins know any manners?"
Just then, a young man's voice came from the side, his tone tinged with displeasure.
Tang San frowned and turned to look.
But then a young man, dressed even more smartly than old Jack and with a slightly arrogant expression, walked out of the guardhouse next to the entrance of Notting College.
Clearly, this young man was the gatekeeper responsible for guarding the entrance to Notting College.
"Sorry, young man, this is our first time here, and we don't know the rules. Please forgive us."
Old Jack quickly smiled apologetically and then explained his purpose:
"We come from Shenghun Village. This child is a work-study student from our village, and he's here to report for duty today."
After saying that, Old Jack took out Tang San's Soul Master certificate from his pocket and handed it to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper took the Soul Master certificate while glancing at Tang San.
Seeing Tang San's tattered clothes, covered in patches, the gatekeeper frowned and said rudely:
"Is this the kid? Why is he so slovenly? Are there still such poor kids these days?"
"Now that the Spirit Hall's Pan-Continental Merchant Alliance exists, buying and selling is much more convenient. Even in the countryside, as long as you're a little diligent, you can earn some living expenses. You wouldn't have to dress so shabbily, would you?"
"Is it because our parents are gone, or because they've done something awful?"
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing the gatekeeper say that his parents were dead and that he was being disrespectful, Tang San felt utterly insulted and immediately roared in anger.
His father was the person he respected most, who brought him fatherly love and was the greatest warmth in his heart.
Although he has never met his mother, she is not someone a mere gatekeeper like you can slander.
The word "parents" is Tang San's Achilles' heel; no one is allowed to speak ill of or criticize it, or else they will face certain death.
The gatekeeper was startled by the sudden angry shout and involuntarily took half a step back.
Looking in the direction of the sound, he found that the angry shout came from the disheveled boy in front of him, whose dark face was slightly distorted as he glared at him.
The gatekeeper pulled back his steps, composed himself, and ignored Tang San's angry glare. He wasn't about to bother with a little brat.
He frowned and turned to old Jack:
"What? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Ahem, Xiao San's family situation is special. He doesn't have a mother, and his father is a blacksmith. Hmm, he likes to drink a little wine in his spare time."
Old Jack coughed, gave an awkward smile, and explained the reason in a roundabout way. He then tugged at Tang San, signaling him not to act impulsively.
The doorman immediately understood, then gave a disdainful smile, adding a sarcastic remark:
"Heh, I knew it! So he has a lazy, good-for-nothing, drunkard father."
He then glanced down at the Soul Master's certificate:
"Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, innate full Soul Power? Are you kidding me? When did a useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass become capable of awakening innate full Soul Power? Hmph, it's a fake, isn't it?"
The doorman glanced back and forth between Old Jack and Tang San a few times, finally fixing his gaze on Tang San, and uttered a sarcastic remark:
"Heh, kid, even if you want to rise from humble beginnings to become a phoenix, you should at least know your own limitations. Who are you trying to fool with this forged Soul Master certificate? Didn't your father teach you to be honest?"
Hearing the doorman make another sarcastic remark.
According to Article 5 of the General Principles of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu:
All disciples of the Tang Clan must not easily provoke trouble, but if anyone takes the initiative to infringe upon them, they will be met with thunderous retaliation.
The gatekeeper spoke rudely, first insulting his parents, and then sarcastically and defaming him for forging a Soul Master certificate. He was the one who actively aggressed, and Xu was to retaliate with thunder.
Tang San could no longer bear it.
Overcome with rage, he shook off Old Jack's hand, took a ghostly step, and his small body appeared in front of the gatehouse in the blink of an eye.
He then used the "Controlling Crane and Capturing Dragon" technique, grabbing the gatekeeper's wrist with one hand, striking his lower abdomen with the other, and simultaneously extending one foot to trip the gatekeeper's heel.
With force applied from three points, the unsuspecting doorman fell flat on his backside with a loud thud.
"You mistress..."
Old Jack was about to explain to the doorman, but Tang San's sudden action stopped him, leaving him somewhat dumbfounded.
"You little brat, you're asking for it."
Being caught off guard and suddenly thrown onto his backside, anyone would be angry. The gatekeeper immediately got up from the ground, roared, and wanted to grab Tang San and give him a good beating.
However, what the doorman didn't know was that the moment he got up, he was already on the verge of death.
Because Tang San's left hand had already been raised and was aimed at his throat.
The safety mechanism on the hidden dart on his wrist had been secretly activated.
If no one intervenes, the gatekeeper will be struck in the throat with a short arrow in the next second, and die a violent death.
According to the general outline of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, Article 3 stipulates:
Once you've identified your opponent as an enemy, if they have a way of committing suicide, don't show mercy; otherwise, you'll only create more trouble for yourself.
Tang San had already determined that the gatekeeper's insults against his parents and his sarcastic remarks about him were malicious and mean-spirited, and that he was Tang San's enemy.
He always carried out the plan to his death when dealing with enemies.
