Ye Yu stepped forward and grabbed the vest with one hand. Everyone originally thought the vest would remain immovable, but Ye Yu lifted it with just one hand!
"The weight is not bad."
Ye Yu ignored the shock of the people around, lifted and felt the weight, and thought it was just right for his current strength.
Ye Yu looked at the wide-eyed, incredulous shopkeeper and said with a faint smile, "Can I take it now?"
Ye Yu prepared to put it on and at the same time turned to leave.
"Wait... wait!" The shopkeeper's face immediately changed; this vest, weighing eight thousand pounds, was worth three Gold Soul Coins! In this Nuoding City, three Gold Soul Coins was quite a sum of money.
The shopkeeper wanted to speak, but Ye Yu mocked, "What? What you said just now doesn't count? But there are so many people here to testify. Are you trying to go back on your word?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the crowd around him. He originally thought these people would testify for him so that Ye Yu wouldn't go back on his word, but now, it was the opposite.
The crowd was in a state of astonishment.
"Is this kid really six years old?"
"This is Innate Divine Power!"
"Does Innate Divine Power have to be this terrifying? I think he's a monster!"
...
After the initial shock, the surrounding crowd started speaking up for Ye Yu.
"Shopkeeper, it's your loss. Are you trying to renege? We all saw it. If this gets out, it won't be good for your shop's reputation."
"Yeah, don't try to cheat a kid."
"Better just accept your bad luck, shopkeeper."
...
Everyone originally thought the shopkeeper was extremely lucky, getting free labor, but now they found out it was the shopkeeper who was unlucky.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to nod, "Alright, take it with you."
Ye Yu put it on and discovered it could shrink if too large, expand if too small, with great elasticity.
After putting it on, Ye Yu turned and jogged away, leaving behind a phrase, "I have some things to do, so I'll go first. Shopkeeper, save the other items for me; I'll come back with money in a couple of days."
However, the shopkeeper was staring with wide eyes and an open mouth at Ye Yu jogging away, stunned, with only shock left in his heart.
At the same time, the crowd was equally dumbfounded...
Not only did he pick up an eight thousand-pound vest, but after putting it on, he seemed to feel no pressure, jogging away...
"This... this is definitely a monster!"
"Inconceivable!"
"To bear eight thousand pounds and still move freely, unbelievable!"
...
The crowd was amazed, even Master was shocked inside, having never seen such a child, indeed more monstrous than a monster.
Meanwhile, Tang San and Old Jack had already reached the entrance of Nuoding Academy. Just as they were about to enter, a guard at the entrance stopped them.
"What are you doing here? This place is not for country folk like you to come."
The guard scanned Old Jack and Tang San with disdain, dressed in coarse cloth and full of patches, clearly from the countryside.
Old Jack smiled politely, "We are from Holy Soul Village. This year our village has two slots for combined students, and he is one of them."
Upon hearing this, the guard simply didn't believe him and started mocking even more disdainfully, "How can there be a Phoenix coming out of a grass nest? It's impossible for a small village to have someone with Soul Power; otherwise, Soul Masters would be everywhere."
Listening to the constant mocking and insults from the guard, Old Jack, though angry, could only smile due to his lack of status and standing, coming from the countryside.
"This is a certification issued by Su Yuntao, the War Soul Master from the Martial Soul Hall. Please take a look."
The guard took the two certifications and started laughing immediately, "Blue Silver Grass, Innate Full Soul Power. Black-tailed Flower, Innate Full Soul Power."
"Hahahaha..." The guard laughed out loud and ridiculed, "Sorry, couldn't help it. This is the funniest joke I've heard all year, maybe even in the last twenty years. Hahaha, two Wasted Martial Souls, and both Innate Full Soul Power. Could your certification be any faker? If you faked a Soul Power Level 1, I might have believed you. Country bumpkins are still country bumpkins, do you even understand what Innate Full Soul Power is? There are hardly any across the entire continent!"
The guard threw the certifications on the ground. Old Jack quickly bent down to pick them up, wiping the dust off with his sleeve.
Old Jack could no longer bear it. To him, these two certifications might have been just paper, but they represented his greatest pride, and the fact that the guard had thrown them on the ground made him extremely furious.
"How can you do this? These certifications are absolutely genuine!"
The guard snorted coldly, "You think I'm an idiot? Take your fake certifications and get lost!"
After speaking, the guard raised his hand to push Old Jack.
Although the guard was not a Soul Master, just an ordinary person, he was tall and strong, while Old Jack was elderly, causing him to stumble back several steps.
Just as he was about to fall, Tang San reacted quickly and supported Old Jack.
Tang San's gaze turned sharp, and with such a gaze fixed on him, the guard involuntarily trembled and took a step back.
The guard cursed silently inside, "Just a kid, what's there to be afraid of."
The guard spat coldly, "What, want to hit me? Try it, you country bumpkin! I am the guard of Nuoding Academy!"
Whoosh!
Bam!
Suddenly, a figure came whizzing in, and the guard only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, sending him flying five meters away.
The guard screamed as he was in the air and then slammed against the iron gate with a "bang," dropping to the ground, grimacing in pain, letting out a series of yelping cries.
The guard clutched his stomach, rolling on the ground, a trace of blood from his mouth, and he looked up angrily. In front of him was a six-year-old boy, also dressed shabbily.
Old Jack was startled, it was Xiao Yu.
Ye Yu turned back and asked with concern, "Grandpa, are you alright?"
Old Jack shook his head, "I'm fine."
Ye Yu looked down at the guard, a cold light flickering in his eyes.
Old Jack was his only family, and this guard dared to look down on people and bully others!
The guard shouted angrily, "You brat, how dare you hit me! You must be tired of living! I am the guard of Nuoding Academy!"
Ye Yu looked disdainful, "A guard? Just a gatekeeper, you're nothing!"
At the same time, a murderous intent flashed in Ye Yu's eyes.
The guard was even more furious to find himself being looked down upon by a country boy, shouting, "I'm just a gatekeeper, but a gatekeeper for Nuoding Academy! You country people can't compare to me!"
"Can a Soul Master compare to you?"
As Ye Yu spoke, his whole body erupted with Soul Power, a strong gust of wind whistling around him.
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Ye Yu's body, the guard was terrified.
He was an ordinary person, but he could feel this was an extremely powerful Soul Power! Definitely not just one or two levels!
The guard showed fear, instinctively retreating continuously, the anger on his face completely disappeared, replaced by awe.
Originally thinking the kid had knocked him flying because of Innate Divine Power, he now realized the boy before him had strong Soul Power!
He was shocked inside; could it be true that the Soul Power was Innate Full Soul Power?
Thinking of this, he shuddered; he was sure he was in big trouble.
Ye Yu picked up the certification, looked down coldly, and said, "Now, do you think these certificates are real or fake?"
