277. Grandmaster?

When a spirit master level personage apologized towards him, old Jack's vanity received an enormous boost, and he hastily shook both hands, saying "Don't apologize, don't apologize. We are also in the wrong. Grandmaster, I will trouble you with this child. Ryan, you follow Grandmaster inside ok, but you must be obedient."

I simply nodded. If Grandmaster had spoken a step later, perhaps that gatekeeper's throat could have received a new hole to breathe out of.

To me it seemed that the gatekeeper moving towards Jack was trying to strike an kind old man. In addition to his unkindness, this in itself was already enough to aim to kill. At the same time, he was also absolutely certain that including old Jack there was nobody who could detect him detroying this persons very existence and getting rid of the body. Without evidence, who could say that he killed? I glare down at the still bleeding gaurd causing him to unintentionally shiver.

Grandmaster also coldly glanced at that gatekeeper,

"This is the first time, and also is the last time. If there is a repeat offense, you need not remain here."

His hoarse voice was calm, but gave a feeling that made it impossible to refute.

The gatekeeper's back broke out in cold sweat, and he hurriedly repeatedly echoed agreement and got out of the way to the side holding his dislocated bleeding arm.

Grandmaster looked at me with a warm smile before grabbing my shoulder gently and steering me into the school. "Let's get going we have much to discuss little one." he happily said.

I just nodded and followed along. "Teacher, thank you for not discriminating because of our looks and clothes."

"Teacher? I am not an academy teacher."

Grandmaster turned his head to glance at me, speaking coolly.

"Not a teacher? Just now did you not speak on behalf of the academy?"

Grandmaster shook his head, all along today he had been nothing but exceptionally patient, and again squeezed out a trace of that unsightly smiling expression,

"Who said one must be an academy teacher to represent the academy?"

"I understand. You are an academy principal, or a leader, right?." I said acting the proper child part.

Grandmaster could not help laughing, and said."For a six year old child, you are very clever. However, you still guessed wrong."

"Then you are?"

Grandmaster said."I am only a freeloading tenant at this place, that's all. You and the others alike called me Grandmaster, right. Everyone address me like this. Even to the extent that I have already forgotten my name. On the spirit hall certificate was written that you are called Ryan, right? Ryan, you must understand, the meanings of grandmaster and teacher are entirely different, and hereafter must not address me incorrectly. Unless..."

Saying this, his words slowed, in his eyes glimmered a burning light,

"Unless you are genuinely willing to make me your teacher."

"You want to teach me spirit cultivation?" I asked.

Grandmaster halted his steps, standing calmly ,facing me.

"Are you willing to do that?"

I just stared at him curiously. Not accepting or denying.

"Good, you really are a clever child."

Not speaking had a two meanings. First not being impatient to refuse, so as not to offend Grandmaster. Second to use this action to inquire from Grandmaster, 'why must I acknowledge you as master?'

Grandmaster, resembling old Jack, raised his hand to tousle my head.

"Naturally gifted, and also this clever. It seems even I must persistently try again. How should I say this? You also have the third twin spirit in these last hundred years."

I just look at him. Grandmaster calmly and in an easygoing way looked at me back. Smiling, he said. "Don't you want to know how I could know so quickly that you have twin spirits?"

Speaking, he flicked open the certificate in his hand that old Jack gave him,

"It is precisely because of this certificate. Perhaps another person looking could not find the flaw, but if I also could not see it, then I could not be called Grandmaster."

"I have investigated six hundred forty seven people with blue silver grass spirits. Among them were sixteen with spirit power, so the odds are less than three in a hundred. And even these sixteen people possessing spirit power did not have spirit power ability exceeding the first rank, and yet your innate full spirit power is of the tenth rank. According to my research in the first of the ten great core spirit competencies, innate spirit power size is in direct ratio with the quality of the spirit. Blue silver grass is obviously unable to measure up, therefore I can conclude that you should still have another spirit, and also that it is an extraordinarily powerful spirit."

I calmly and patiently argued."Everything has exceptions, why couldn't I be a special case?"

Grandmaster nodded seriously, and said."That's right, everything has exceptions, but your spirit is blue silver grass, therefore you clearly are not that exception. In the last hundred years in Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire, although twin spirits have only appeared twice, innate full spirit power has appeared nineteen times. I have carefully studied each of those spirits, and not one wasn't formidable. The youngest one has now already reached the spirit grandmaster level. Other than fourteen who inherited formidable spirits from clan blood lineage, there were five exceptions." he continued on.

"They did not come from a privileged background, but also possessed innate full spirit power. And this kind of unexpected existence is exactly what is called variant spirits. On the basis of my many years of research in variant spirits, never has any kind of spirit with blue silver grass spirit produced a variation. And your blue silver grass spirit is also an ordinary blue silver grass, therefore, I can be completely confident that my judgment is correct."

I nodded at the man. "In this case your wrong about quite a few things and I'll show you. however I will still accept you as my teacher."

he looked at me in confusion "What was I wrong about?"

I pulled up my hand and on it danced a blue blade of grass I moved it closer to him to study.

he looked over it trying to spot the difference. before he saw it. "Chains?" I nodded. "My spirit is both chains and blue silver grass combined also I don't have twin spirits."

He looked even more shocked and confused. "I have three spirits." from my other hand came a small black hammer and from behind my back a swirling black mass drawing in everything including light.

he looked at the spirits in absolute shock. knowing exactly what the hammer was but having no idea about the swirling mass this was also the first time he had ever heard of anyone havong triple spirits.

I quickly dismissed them. "You might enjoy the ability of my third spirit as it can only do one thing. That's devour other spirit rings to age my own. I'm also sure you recognize the clear sky hammer. I am the only son of the clear sky douluo tang hao."

I say smacking the grandmaster with more information overload.
