Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends.

Before Old Jack could finish speaking, Tang Hao interrupted him with an impatient snort.

Tang Hao glanced sideways at old Jack, his face carrying a strange arrogance.

"Alright, old Jack, you don't need to worry about my child. I have my own plans for his schooling, and you don't need to concern yourself with the money."

Old Jack was taken aback. Looking at Tang Hao's arrogant, rich-man-is-him-too-smug attitude, he was so angry that his beard bristled. He cursed inwardly, "You poor drunkard, what else can you do besides blacksmithing and drinking? What are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty!"

But old Jack couldn't say anything more, so he could only sigh, shake his head, and leave.

He made up his mind that on the first day of school, he would personally take the two children to the academy to see what Tang Hao's plan was all about!

After old Jack left, Cinderella blinked her big blue eyes and spoke at the opportune moment, her voice carrying just the right amount of innocence and worry: "Dad, Xiao San and I both have innate full soul power. I heard from the village elder that we can directly obtain soul rings and become soul masters, so we can go and collect the Spirit Hall's subsidies. How do we obtain soul rings? I heard we need to hunt soul beasts."

Cinderella's question clearly hit a blind spot in Tang Hao's knowledge. He was born into the Haotian Sect, the number one sect in the world, and was a proud son of heaven since childhood. His soul ring configuration was the best solution that the sect had thoroughly researched. He could just go hunting with his elders. Why did he need to worry about psychology and knowledge?

Academic subjects? What are those? Can they increase the weight of the hammer?

Tang Hao was stumped by Cinderella's question and felt a little embarrassed. He could only wave his hand vaguely and said impatiently, "What's the rush? You guys go to school first, the teacher will teach you! Okay, don't bother me if there's nothing else!"

After saying that, as if to cover up his embarrassment, he grabbed the wine pot on the table and hurriedly went back to his room, leaving the two siblings looking at each other.

Seeing Tang Hao's impatience with Cinderella, Tang San felt a surge of dissatisfaction. "Old man, how dare you treat my sister like this!"

Cinderella watched Tang Hao's disappearing figure and sighed silently.

She knew she couldn't rely on Tang Hao; she would have to rely on herself and her future tools to acquire knowledge of soul rings and soul beasts.

……

After some time, the day arrived for the opening of the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

Old Jack arrived at the blacksmith shop early, eager to see how Tang Hao would solve the tuition problem.

To his astonishment, Tang Hao actually pulled out... two money bags full of gold soul coins from under that dirty bed.

It looked substantial, enough to cover Tang San and Cinderella's tuition at Nottingham Academy for six years, with some money to spare.

Old Jack's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he pointed at the money bag, his lips trembling: "Tang Hao... this money of yours...?"

His first thought was whether Tang Hao had gone off to do something illegal.

Tang Hao snorted coldly, his face carrying a hint of arrogant disdain: "Isn't the wealth accumulated by our ancestors enough?"

He naturally wouldn't tell old Jack that as one of the most outstanding disciples of the Clear Sky Sect and the youngest Title Douluo, he had enough gold soul coins in his personal soul tool to buy an entire street in any major city.

I was just wallowing in sadness before, too lazy to care about these mundane things.

Now that the children need it, he can naturally provide it.

However, at the last moment, Tang Hao hesitated for a moment, but still only stuffed a money bag into Old Jack's hand and pointed at Tang San.

"Let's give the part-time job slots to the mistress."

Tang Hao remained cautious; it was too conspicuous for a poor blacksmith to suddenly come up with a huge sum of money to send two children to school.

It would be more reasonable to have Tang San, whose talent seems even worse, work as a part-time worker, which would also better conceal the secret of the Clear Sky Hammer.

As for Cinderella, she paid full tuition, which was certainly eye-catching, but the fact that a beautiful girl possessed a high-quality martial soul and innate full soul power could barely be explained by the fact that a powerful figure had taken a liking to her and secretly provided assistance.

Old Jack looked at the money bag in his hand, then at the other money bag that Tang Hao had taken back, and at Tang Hao's unquestionable expression, and finally swallowed all his questions.

As long as I have money!

Now that both children were able to go to school, old Jack didn't care about anything else. He happily took Tang San and Cinderella and set off for Nottingham City.

Tang Hao stood at the entrance of the blacksmith's shop, watching the children's departing figures. A complex emotion flashed in his turbid eyes, but it was quickly covered by the deep sorrow and alcohol in his heart.

……

The gates of the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy look quite imposing compared to the dilapidated state of Holy Soul Village.

But before Old Jack and his friends could even enjoy the view for a moment, their conversation was interrupted by a discordant voice.

"Stop right there! What are you doing? Is this a place for country bumpkins like you?"

A slightly overweight doorman in a college gatekeeper uniform, with an arrogant look in his eyes, stopped the weary old Jack and Cinderella.

The doorman's gaze swept over Old Jack's faded old clothes and Tang San's obvious patches, his face revealing undisguised disgust and contempt.

But when his gaze fell on Cinderella beside him, his disdain instantly turned into amazement and a hint of barely perceptible lewdness.

With blonde hair, blue eyes, and snow-white skin, she was dressed simply, but her delicate features and unique temperament made her look like a little person who had stepped out of a painting!

How could such a beautiful girl grow up in this remote and impoverished place?

Tang San's senses were extremely sharp, and he noticed almost instantly the way the guard was looking at Cinderella.

A surge of icy rage rushed into Tang San's mind, and his Xuan Tian Gong (Mysterious Heaven Skill) also activated.

This damned thing, how dare you look at your sister like that! You're asking for death!

Chapter 47 Master Yu Xiaogang

Tang San suddenly stepped forward, using his small body to block Cinderella's noodles.

He looked up, and his eyes, which were usually so docile in front of Cinderella, now pierced the doorman like poisoned daggers.

Tang San's fists were clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white.

He swore that if the gatekeeper dared to utter a single disrespectful word to Cinderella, or give her even the slightest impure look, Tang San would make him regret it!

If it were Tang San from his previous life, he would probably have already launched a hidden weapon attack or started planning how to kill him with a single blow.

But in this life, under Cinderella's guidance and education day after day, he has learned how to handle problems more intelligently.

Killing him outright is too risky and could easily cause trouble for his sister, but it's still necessary to teach him a lesson so he'll remember it!

The gatekeeper felt a chill run down his spine under Tang San's icy gaze, which was completely unlike that of a six-year-old child, and subconsciously took a half-step back.

But he quickly realized what was happening and became somewhat annoyed and angry. How dare a little kid glare at me?

"What are you doing?"

A hoarse, deliberately deep male voice came from the side, immediately interrupting the tense atmosphere.

Cinderella's heart skipped a beat, and she looked in the direction of the sound.

Sure enough, a middle-aged man wearing a gray long gown, with a stiff face, meticulously combed hair, and eyes that held a hint of decadence and pretentious profundity, was walking slowly towards them.

This is none other than the "theory master" Yu Xiaogang.

Upon seeing who it was, the gatekeeper's angry expression instantly turned into one of obsequiousness, and he hurriedly bowed and scraped as he went to greet them.

"Master, you've arrived! It's nothing serious, just a few country bumpkins trying to cause trouble, I'll chase them away right now!"

Yu Xiaogang seemed not to have heard the doorman's words, his gaze passing directly past him and landing on Old Jack. He forced a smile that he thought was friendly but was actually stiff: "Old sir, may I see your martial spirit certificate?"

The reason he appeared was because he had clearly heard old Jack's anxious explanation from not far away.

"We really came here to study! This child has innate full soul power!"

Innate full soul power!

These five words exploded in Yu Xiaogang's ears like a thunderclap.

Who is Yu Xiaogang?

Born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was unable to break through level 30 for the rest of his life due to the malignant mutation of his martial soul, suffering endless scorn from others and inner torment.

Knowing that he could not break through in soul power, he devoted all his energy to the research of soul master theory, eager to prove himself, eager to gain the recognition of the world, eager to... be remembered in history!

What does innate full soul power mean?

This means that as long as he doesn't die young, he will definitely become a Title Douluo in the future! Isn't this the perfect vehicle to verify his theories?

It is the perfect ladder that allows him to shed the label of "waste" and join the ranks of China's top theoretical masters!

How could he miss it?

He must seize this opportunity!

So he chose the most opportune moment to appear and played the role of a learned elder who could help them out of their predicament.

Although Old Jack felt that this person's temperament was a bit strange, he still quickly handed over the two Martial Soul Certificates.

"Master, please look! These are the two children. They are both from our village, and they both possess innate full soul power!"

Yu Xiaogang took the certificate and quickly scanned it.

When he saw "Tang San, spirit Blue Silver Grass, innate spirit power level 10" and "Tang Xiandi, spirit Crystal Dancing Shoes, innate spirit power level 10", his pupils instantly dilated and contracted, and even his breathing became rapid!

Blue Silver Grass? Innate full soul power? This completely overturned his understanding of useless martial souls!

And these crystal dancing shoes? I've never heard of a weapon spirit before, and they're also innate full spirit power!

Double the surprises! Double the experimental materials!

No! It's double the chance!

An overwhelming surge of passion instantly welled up in Yu Xiaogang's heart, and his gaze suddenly shot towards Tang San and Cinderella.

That look in his eyes was like a hungry wolf eyeing a delicious lamb, filled with naked possessiveness and desire.

Yu Xiaogang seemed to have already envisioned himself taking these two geniuses under his wing, imparting all his knowledge to them, and nurturing them into powerful figures who would shake the continent. Then, his name, Yu Xiaogang, would resound throughout the entire Douluo Continent along with the glory of his disciples.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Yu Xiaogang said "good" three times in a row, his voice trembling slightly. The muscles in his face twitched with excitement.

Despite his attempts to remain calm, Yu Xiaogang appeared even more strange.

"Truly a genius seen only once in a century! The Blue Silver Grass possesses innate full soul power—this is simply a miracle! And this Crystal Dancing Shoes Martial Soul is even more extraordinary!"

Tang San, standing to the side, had kept a wary gaze fixed on Yu Xiaogang ever since he appeared.

Tang San unconsciously overlooked Yu Xiaogang's fervent admiration for him. In Tang San's view, Yu Xiaogang stared intently at Cinderella the moment he appeared, his eyes filled with an undisguised fervor for her.

Tang San's heart sank instantly, and his eyes turned even colder.

Another bastard who's after his older sister!

The thought instantly popped into his mind.

In Holy Soul Village, which of those wild boys who tried to attract their older sister's attention by pulling their braids or throwing mud hadn't been secretly dealt with by him?

This seemingly respectable master has eyes that are more hateful and dangerous than those children's!

Although the difference in strength was huge, Tang San had already put Yu Xiaogang on his blacklist of people he needed to be highly vigilant against and who he would find an opportunity to teach a lesson.

Of course, the doorman is also on this list.

Tang San subtly shifted his body, silently shielding Cinderella even more firmly behind him.

Yu Xiaogang was completely absorbed in the excitement of discovering a genius, and he didn't notice Tang San's little move at all.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated emotions, and then, adopting the air of a master, said to old Jack, "Sir, leave this matter to me. These two children are exceptionally gifted and cannot be delayed. The doorman was rude; I apologize on behalf of the academy."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang actually bowed slightly to Old Jack in a very proper manner.

This immediately made old Jack feel flattered, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "You flatter me, you're too kind, Master!"

Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction, his gaze once again turning eagerly to Tang San and Cinderella, especially Cinderella. Her stunning beauty made his heart skip a beat, and his tone involuntarily softened.

"Children, come with me. I'll take you to complete your enrollment procedures. Regarding your martial souls, especially the Blue Silver Grass which has innate full soul power, there must be a very profound reason behind it. I'm very interested in this, and perhaps we can discuss it in detail."

Yu Xiaogang was eager to showcase his extensive knowledge and impress these two geniuses.

As for whether it would be successful, Yu Xiaogang was not worried about that at all. He believed that it would be a piece of cake to win over the children from these two small places with his rich theoretical knowledge and insights.

Chapter 48 Yu Xiaogang, the Tool

Cinderella hid behind Tang San, her azure eyes gleaming slightly as she took in all of Yu Xiaogang's actions.

A subtle, almost imperceptible smile curved her lips.

"A tool... hasn't it just delivered itself right to our doorstep?"

Cinderella chuckled inwardly, "Master? Perfect. The knowledge and theoretical guidance on soul rings and soul beasts that Xiao San and I lack will depend on your selfless dedication."

In Cinderella's opinion, she wasn't sure if Yu Xiaogang had talent, but she was certain he had a large collection of books, since a master must need a lot of books to maintain his image.

Cinderella gently tugged at Tang San's sleeve, signaling him to calm down.

Then, she peeked out from behind Tang San and gave Yu Xiaogang a pure, flawless smile, tinged with shyness and dependence.
