Chapter 9 Tool Man Tang San
The next day, west of Nuoding City.
A carriage moved slowly along the street and finally stopped in front of a complex of buildings.
Afterwards, amidst the attentive greetings of the coachman, two children around six years old jumped down from the carriage.
Of the two children, one wore purple clothes, handsome beyond compare with a bright jade-like quality; the other wore blue hemp clothes, his skin a healthy wheat color.
These two people were naturally Zhou Chen and Tang San.
At this moment, Zhou Chen was raising his head, looking at a tall arched gate before him.
This arched gate was made entirely of stone, reaching twenty meters in width and about ten meters in height. Below were two iron grate gates. At the entrance was a main road leading directly inside, with two rows of shady trees beside the road.
In the center of the arched gate, there were four large characters: Nuoding Academy.
That's right, this was the Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy.
The reason Zhou Chen came here was to take Yu Xiaogang, who was lodging here, under his command and make him serve him with his life.
However, Zhou Chen would certainly not expose his purpose right from the start; doing so would result in being treated as a madman and driven out. On the surface, he came to deliver a student to Yu Xiaogang.
Yes, the student was Tang San.
Zhou Chen had already decided to give Tang San away as a meeting gift.
The two had just walked to the main gate when the youth guarding the gate shouted loudly: "What are you doing? This is a Spirit Master Academy; you are not allowed to barge in."
Hearing the stiff tone of this doorkeeper, Zhou Chen frowned but did not haggle with this ant. Instead, he took out a visiting card and then said coldly: "Hand this visiting card to Yu Xiaogang and ask him to come out for a meeting."
The doorkeeper took the visiting card and was instantly startled.
Because on the Douluo Continent, only nobles and high-level Spirit Masters would use visiting cards when visiting; how could commoners understand this kind of etiquette?
Such a small child, yet able to produce a visiting card, wearing expensive purple clothes, and speaking with such an arrogant tone. At a glance, he had a significant background; if not a noble, then the descendant of a powerful Spirit Master.
Can't offend him, can't offend him. I misjudged just now.
Instantly, the doorkeeper's stern face turned fawning. He bowed and scraped repeatedly to Zhou Chen: "The two young masters are looking for Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, right? Please wait a moment, I will go right away."
Saying this, the doorkeeper trotted all the way into the academy gate.
Very soon, footsteps came from inside the academy, followed by a somewhat hoarse voice: "Little friends, are you looking for me?"
Zhou Chen and Tang San turned their heads to look and saw the doorkeeper accompanying a man of medium and slightly thin build, walking toward them.
This man had short black hair and an ordinary appearance, but he possessed a scholarly temperament. It was just that when his eyes opened and closed, they carried a bit of listlessness, looking like a single dog who had been dumped by his girlfriend.
Clearly, he was Yu Xiaogang.
"Well done, here is a reward for you."
Zhou Chen took out a silver spirit coin and flicked it to the doorkeeper. The doorkeeper hurriedly agreed repeatedly and then obediently retreated.
Seeing this scene, Yu Xiaogang was shocked in his heart. This kid had extraordinary bearing; he was likely from a prominent aristocratic family.
However, Yu Xiaogang's surprise vanished in a flash. He tried hard to squeeze out a smile that did not look so stiff and asked: "Little friends, what do you need me for?"
"Hello, Grandmaster. My family elders asked me to come, intending to introduce a student to you."
Saying this, Zhou Chen stepped back, pushed out the still somewhat confused Tang San, and introduced: "His name is Tang San, a genius with Innate Full Spirit Power."
"But my spirit is Blue Silver Grass."
Tang San added honestly, then looked at Zhou Chen with a gaze full of resentment.
Brother Chen, clearly you are the real genius, right? Why push me out to take the hit?
Because you are a tool, Zhou Chen recited silently in his heart.
At this moment, hearing the words of the two children before him, Yu Xiaogang contemplated for an instant, and his eyes immediately flickered with a burning light.
He raised his hand and rubbed Tang San's head, saying: "You should have Twin Spirits, right?"
Hearing these words, Tang San was greatly startled, and a look of uncertainty revealed itself in his eyes.
Regarding the matter of Twin Spirits, he had only told his father Tang Hao; he had not even revealed it to Brother Chen and Grandpa Jack. How did this 'Grandmaster' know?
Seeing Tang San's doubtful little look, Yu Xiaogang said with a rare bit of self-satisfaction: "Among the Ten Great Core Competencies of Spirit Theory I once researched, there is such a law: the amount of innate spirit power is directly proportional to the quality of the spirit. In other words, the higher the innate spirit power, the more powerful the spirit!"
"And you have Innate Full Spirit Power, so your spirit must also be very strong! But you told me that your spirit is the well-known trash spirit, Blue Silver Grass."
Speaking up to here, he paused for an instant, smiled, and said: "Therefore, I deduce that you must still be hiding another spirit, a very powerful spirit!"
As soon as these words came out, they instantly stunned Tang San.
This 'Grandmaster' was indeed a true master of spirit theory; he could actually perceive the finest details so clearly!
And he also understood the reason why Zhou Chen wanted him to acknowledge a teacher; this was completely for the sake of his future!
Instantly, Tang San's heart was filled with admiration for Yu Xiaogang and strong gratitude toward Zhou Chen.
Of course, what he did not know at all was that he had already been betrayed by Zhou Chen as a tool...
