Chapter 5: I am the Fusion Master

Three days later.

Old Jack took Tang San and Tang Jiu out of Sacred spirit Village and rushed to Notting City.

Tang San travelled lightly, while Tang Jiu carried a huge parcel stuffed with air-dried pork.

Also carrying a war hammer, Old Jack laughed: "Going to school and bringing such meat?"

"How expensive is meat in the city! You try it too, it's delicious!" Tang Jiu had now treated the thousand-year-old spirit beast meat as a snack and then handed a piece to Old Jack.

Old Jack ate the meat and asked, "You've got your tuition?"

"Yeah, my dad gave it to me!"

Old Jack choked and said incredulously, "You pay tuition for school and Junior goes to work as a work-study student? This Tang Hao is really good! Who's the one he adopted?"

In his heart, Tang San really wanted to say, "I am!

Along the way, Old Jack told the two Tang Jiu all he knew.

"The junior academy teaches some basic things, it only accepts children who have just awakened their martial spirits. When you reach the age of twelve, you can graduate after obtaining one spirit ring, and after obtaining two spirit rings, you can go into the intermediate level spirit master academy.

Little San, Little Jiu, although you two are innate full spirit power, your martial souls, one is blue silver grass, the other is egg, Grandpa Jack also does not require anything from you, if you can cultivate to level 20 and obtain two spirit rings, it will be glorious for our Holy spirit Village!

"As for the Senior spirit Master Academy, I'm afraid it's difficult for you to get in, after all, there are only two Senior spirits Master Academies in the entire continent, and the number of students enrolled each year only adds up to a hundred."

Old Jack reminded, "For the first two-spirit rings, you can obtain them through the help of other spirit masters, but from the third one onwards, you have to rely on yourself, be careful what you do in the future, don't offend the big shots you can't afford to piss them off!"

On the way, Old Jack imparted his lecture, and soon, the three of them arrived at the entrance of Notting Academy's gate and prepared to enter, but they were stopped by the man watching the door at the entrance.

"What do you want? This place is not for you country bumpkins to come."

The doorman swept the three men with disdain, dressed in rough linen clothes, still full of patches, a glance at them, and the strangest of all, Tang Jiu, with this big package, carrying a war hammer in his hand, not a good impression at first glance.

Old Jack smiled politely and said, "We come from the Holy spirit village, this year our village has produced two students with spirit power."

The doorman gave the trio a disgusted look and sarcastically rose, "A grass nest can still produce a phoenix? A small village that can produce two people with spirit power? You're not imposters, are you!"

"Another one is even more ridiculous, dressed like this, he looks like the son of a poor blacksmith, and he wants to enrol here too. Hurry up and leave!"

Hearing the doorman's constant contemptuous sarcasm, although Old Jack was angry in his heart, but coming from the countryside and having no status, he could only continue to smile and hand over his proof.

"This is a certificate from Martial Spirit Hall's master Su Yuntao, take a look."

The doorman took the two certificates and smiled at once: "Blue Silver Grass, innate full spirit power. And this, the martial spirit is an egg!"

"Hahahahahaha ..." The doorman laughed out loud and mocked, "I've been working as a doorman in the academy for four years, and I've never heard of innate full spirit power, especially, one of the martial souls is Blue Silver Grass, and one is even an egg, Let's see, this proof from the Martial spirit Hall is all forged by you!"

"You! ~~"

Old Jack, how dignified he was, was so humiliated that his face turned red with anger, but he was still ready to bend down and pick up the parchment from the ground.

Tang Jiu stepped forward and picked up Old Jack, looking at the doorman with an unkind face, "You, pick up the stuff for me!"

"Cut it out, you're this poor, you think I'm afraid of you just because you're carrying a war hammer? You're like a beggar, why don't we just call it Beggar's Village instead of Holy spirit Village?

"When the doorman saw that a child was still barking at him as the doorman of Notting Academy, the words from his mouth grew more and more damaging, poking at old Jack's heart.

"What did you say?"

Old Jack turned around violently, the doorman's words could be said to have touched the biggest pride in his heart. Tang Hao was reprimanded by him for half a day for saying that the village was no good.

"Old man, how dare you attack me!"

The doorman was not afraid of Old Jack, and when he saw him rushing forward, he pushed him with his hand without ceremony, pushing him to stagger a few steps, and if Tang Jiu had not been quick to help him, he would probably have fallen straight down.

"Grandpa Jack, you dare to hit him, you are really looking for death!"

Tang Jiu steadied Old Jack and unceremoniously smashed his fist into the doorman's stomach, causing him to smash through the gate and fly backwards.

The doorman who was knocked to the ground was not afraid, instead, he said with a fierce face, "Now kneel down immediately and compensate me with a gold coin before I hand you over to the Martial spirit Hall guards, saying that you are causing trouble at Notting Academy and injuring the doorman."

Tang Jiu snorted coldly, "Is the Martial Spirit Hall owned by your family? They'll believe whatever you say?"

"I'm the doorman of Notting Academy! If the guards of the Martial spirit Hall don't listen to me, will they listen to you commoners?" The doorman looked at Tang Jiu angrily and was thinking of how to fix them in his mind.

"Little Jiu, you're too impulsive!" Old Jack said sharply on his crutches.

"Grandpa Jack, don't worry, the guards of the Martial spirit Hall will definitely not listen to a watchdog!" Tang Jiu said.

"You, you're still too young!" Old Jack shook his head.

"You know you're scared now! Now kowtow to me and apologize, I can still make you suffer less!" The doorman sneered.

"Is that so? Do you think your words can carry the weight of a spirit Master?"

Seeing that Old Jack was intimidated by the other party, Tang Jiu no longer hid, and immediately put a spirit ring martial spirit on himself, the yellow spirit ring floating silently on his body, causing Old Jack to be directly dumbfounded.

"Spirit, spirit master! Or a hundred-year spirit ring!"

The doorman's eyes were wide and his face was white as he was shaking with fear that what he thought was a commoner from the countryside was a First Ring spirit Master!

Moreover, the spirit ring was a yellow hundred-year spirit ring!

With a common cry, he fell to his knees and prayed, "Master spirit master, forgive me, it's my dog's eyes!"

Tang Jiu coldly snorted, "I said, pick up the proof!"

"Yes, yes, my lord!"

The doorman hurriedly crawled over and picked up the Martial spirit Hall's proof that he had thrown on the ground, carefully wiped it clean with his sleeve, and handed it to Old Jack with an apologetic smile on his face, "Your lordship is generous."

"Humph!" Old Jack took the certificate with a cold snort and a sense of glory rose in his heart, look, this is the importance of spirit masters, let's see who will still look down on the Holy spirit Village in the future!

"Little Jiu! Is there anything you need from grandpa?" Old Jack was looking at Tang Jiu like his own grandson at the moment.

"Just urge my father more and ask him to earn me more money to send!" Tang Jiu laughed.

Tang San was in a cold sweat. Old Jack, however, agreed and happily patted his chest, "If your dad dares to be lazy, see if grandpa doesn't scold him to death!"

"That's good!" Tang Jiu smiled, which was a relief.

"Old man, can you show me the proof from the Martial spirit Hall! I'm from this academy." The Grandmaster, who had been watching from the side for a while, spoke out at this time.

In his eyes, Tang Jiu's spirit ring was no ordinary spirit ring, and with his erudition, he instantly recognised that it was definitely the colour of a spirit ring above 500, and he had only one thought in his mind, how could it be!

Old Jack painfully handed the Master the proof in his hand after learning that he was from the Notting Academy.

"Innate Full spirit Power .... Blue Silver Grass! .... Martial Soul, Egg!"

The Master's gaze was fixed as he turned to Old Jack and said, "Old man, you can leave these two children to me, I'll take them through the formalities."

"Okay, thank you, sir!"

Old Jack was happy and left after instructing Tang San and Tang Jiu to take care of themselves.

The Grand Master took the two with him and did not head to the Academic Affairs Office for the formalities, but took them straight to his office.

"What do you teach at the academy, teacher?" Tang San asked curiously.

"I'm not a teacher in this academy, others call me Grandmaster." The Grandmaster said.

"To be called Grandmaster by everyone, it seems that your identity must not be simple." Tang Jiu sighed with emotion, he had once dreamed of letting the world know who he was but had completely failed to do so.

"Then has it ever occurred to you to worship me as your master?" The Master's ascetic-like face finally leaked out a smile and looked at the two of them.

"That depends on what benefits you can give us?" Tang Jiu asked.

"What two smart kids!" The Grandmaster laughed as happily as he could, talented and not stupid, really rare and good seedlings.

After coming to the office and closing the door, the Grandmaster then looked at Tang San with a gleaming gaze and said, "You are the third twin martial spirit in the continent in the last hundred years!"

Tang San was shocked, he didn't expect his secret to be discovered at once, just by taking a glance at the proof from the Martial spirit Hall, this was too scary!

The Master then explained, "I've investigated the six hundred and forty-seven people whose martial souls are Blue Silver Grass, only sixteen possess spirit power, and none of them has spirit power above the first level, while you, on the other hand, have innate full spirit power. According to one of the ten core competencies of martial spirits that I have studied, spirit power is directly proportional to the quality of the martial soul.

A high spirit power means that the martial spirit is also a powerful martial soul, while your martial spirit is Blue Silver Grass, then it means that you must also have a martial spirit, and, an extremely powerful one, which is directly proportional to the innate full spirit power."

Tang San was instantly convinced by the Master's profound knowledge, and a look of respect appeared on his face.

Satisfied, the Grandmaster turned his head to look at Tang Jiu again and said, "This egg martial spirit of yours is actually the initial form of a beast martial soul, belonging to the oviparous category of creatures, it's just that your body is too weak for it to appear in this form when your martial spirit awakens, and only when your body and spirit power reaches a stage where it can withstand it will it break out of its shell!"

"Moreover, I'm sure that it's a power-type martial soul!"

"Why?" Tang Jiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, honestly just by virtue of an egg martial soul, to say it was a power type was a bit scary.

"Because the hammer you're carrying in your hand! If you weren't a power-type spirit master, you wouldn't have that much power at all!

Furthermore, your spirit ring's obviously over four hundred years old, so you must have another martial spirit to add to your physical qualities to make it possible for you to withstand such a high level of spirit ring!

You're also a twin martial spirit!" The Grandmaster said with certainty.

Only then did Tang Jiu realise that the Grandmaster's powers of observation and reasoning were all very impressive, worthy of being the most knowledgeable person in the Douluo Continent!

"Grandmaster, you're wrong there." Tang Jiu laughed.

"Oh? Tell me, where is my judgment wrong?" The Grand Master was instantly interested.

"My spirit ring didn't come from hunting spirit beasts, it's my other martial soul, my martial spirit is a spirit ring!" Tang Jiu said.

"What?" The Grand Master's pupils suddenly shrank as he muttered under his breath, "How is that possible!"

He had seen thousands of martial spirits, and he thought to himself that he wouldn't be surprised when anything became a martial spirit! But a martial spirit being a spirit ring, that had never crossed his mind before!

"You open your martial spirit and feel it for yourself!" Tang Jiu said.

"Good!"

The Grandmaster immediately opened his spirit ring, two yellow spirit rings hovered silently on his body, and at this moment, Tang Jiu flung out the spirit ring martial spirit in his hand and placed it on the Grandmaster's body, and in an instant, the Grandmaster's second yellow spirit ring disappeared!

"This, this is overpowered!"

Tang San hadn't seen Tang Jiu limit Tang Hao's spirit ring, and the first time he saw someone who could get rid of someone else's spirit ring, he felt bad about his entire being.

A Titled Douluo only had 9 spirit rings, and when fighting, one spirit ring disappearing, what a terrible disaster that would be!

"What a martial soul! It directly cut off my connection with my spirit ring, the spirit skills of this spirit ring can't be used, and I feel my spirit power being restricted by about three levels, spirit ring, spirit skills, spirit power all restricted! It's terrifying."

Despite being prepared in his heart, after experiencing a spirit ring martial spirit, the Grandmaster was still deeply shocked by the results of such a test.

"Little Jiu, do you know? This martial spirit of yours can be described as a powerful martial soul! I'm not referring to being not only among terrestrial spirit masters but marine spirit masters!" (T/N: I don't know what they are.)

The Master excitedly grabbed Tang Jiu's shoulder and shook it hard, his heart felt like a volcano had erupted, he really couldn't wait for everyone to know that he, Yu Xiaogang, could teach the most powerful student despite his own incompetence!

"The strongest? Would this be absolute?" Tang Jiu didn't actually think so, weren't there still some deity martial spirits?

The master, however, was incredibly certain as he said in a deep voice.

"Little Jiu, you are unaware of the terror of this martial spirit of yours!"

"A spirit ring martial spirit can restrict the opponent, and the additional spirit ring is, if I'm guessing correctly, restricting the opponent's attributes, such as strength, speed, spirit power, stamina, and even vitality!"

"But that's not even the most terrifying part of this martial spirit of yours!"

"Do you know what is the most terrifying feature of this martial soul?" There was a touch of shock in the Master's gaze as if he had thought of some image that had shocked even him beyond measure.

Tang San couldn't help but smack his lips, "This isn't even the most terrifying? With nine spirit ring skills restricted down, the opponent's abilities would be cut in half at least!"

Tang San really couldn't think of anything else!

Even Tang Jiu frowned in contemplation, what exactly was the ability that was even more terrifying than a spirit ring martial spirit restricting others?

"Do you guys know about martial spirit fusion techniques?" The Grand Master took a deep wash of air and said.

Tang Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up, how had he forgotten about this, the very small probability that a martial spirit could fuse and produce a martial spirit fusion technique, this was simply a demonic existence!

With a touch of shock in his gaze, the Grandmaster said leisurely, "Spirit ring martial soul, the most terrifying thing is not that it can limit spirit power, but that the spirit ring can fuse with any martial spirit and will definitely possess a Martial spirit Fusion Technique!"
