Douro Continent

Chapter 30 Xiao Wu (Part Two)

In fact, what Tang San didn't know was that of the two martial souls he possessed, the hammer was supposed to bring him soul power. However, due to the Blue Silver Grass, some negative mutations occurred between the two martial souls. In addition, the Mysterious Heaven Skill he cultivated had a fusion process with his own martial soul, so it seemed that no soul power appeared when the martial souls awakened.

Even if he did have it, it wouldn't be able to show up, because he had already reached the level of innate full soul power, and before he received any additional soul rings, his soul power could no longer increase.

The master took a sip of water. "That's settled for now. You can go back now. I'll come to your dorm to find you first thing tomorrow morning."

"OK."

Leaving the master's room, Tang San remained deeply moved for a long time. The master's explanation was far clearer than any other explanation he had ever heard about martial souls before. Through the master's explanation that afternoon, he had gained a certain understanding of the profession of Soul Master.

Soul Masters are divided into two main categories: Battle Soul Masters and Weapon Soul Masters. Within these two categories, there are further subcategories such as Food-type, Control-type, Combat-type, and Healing-type. A Soul Master's strength is closely related to their Soul Rings and Soul Power, forming a mutually reinforcing growth process.

This is all Tang San knows so far. He knows that if he wants to gain more knowledge about Soul Masters, he must continue learning from Grandmaster. What makes Tang San happiest is that Grandmaster decided to take him to obtain Soul Rings so quickly. Once he has his first Soul Ring, regardless of the circumstances, he will be able to confirm the relationship between his Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Martial Souls of this world.

Back in the dormitory, no one else was there; they were probably doing something. Tang San had eaten two meals at noon, and although it was getting late, he wasn't hungry at all.

Lying in bed with his eyes closed, he carefully recalled what the master had said that day, making sure it left a deeper impression on him.

He was quite tired from traveling all day, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.

"Feed." After an unknown amount of time, a sudden voice startled Tang San awake. Although his cultivation level was not yet high, his alertness was still considerable. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw a cute little face.

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San and said, "It's not even night yet and you're already sleeping? Are you even going to sleep tonight?"

Tang San hurriedly and somewhat awkwardly got up. At this moment, Xiao Wu was lying on the dividing line between their two beds, looking at him with a smile.

Tang San then noticed that the work-study students had all returned. He sat up, pointed to the dividing line in the middle, and said, "You've crossed the line."

Xiao Wu chuckled and said, "So what if I cross the line? I'm a girl, you should give way to me, right? Of course, you absolutely cannot cross the line."

Looking at her rosy cheeks, Tang San really wanted to pinch them, but he ultimately refrained from doing so.

"Whatever you want. Xiao Wu, I might have to go out tomorrow, and I don't know how long I'll be back. I just wanted to let you know."

"Go out? Where to?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

Tang San didn't hide anything, "My teacher said my soul power is already full, and I should obtain my first soul ring as soon as possible so that I can continue to cultivate. He's preparing to take me to find a suitable one."

Xiao Wu was essentially the head of Dormitory Seven, and since he didn't know how many days he would be gone, it was necessary to inform her. Of course, this was also related to his conflict with Wang Sheng at noon today. He wasn't in the mood to deal with Wang Sheng right now.

Upon hearing Tang San mention his intention to acquire a spirit ring, all the students except Xiao Wu immediately showed expressions of envy. For spirit masters, nothing is more important than advancing in rank. A level 10 spirit warrior and an 11th-level spirit master differ by only one level in spirit power, yet their strength and status are worlds apart. This difference becomes even more pronounced at higher levels.

Xiao Wu frowned and said, "You're leaving before school has even started. Are spirit rings really that important?"

Before Tang San could even speak, Xiao Wu noticed the atmosphere around her had changed. The other work-study students were looking at her like she was a monster. Were spirit rings important? Of course! For a spirit master, there was almost nothing more important than spirit rings.

"Fine, go ahead. But what about our work-study jobs? If you leave, I'll have to do them all by myself." Xiao Wu glared at Tang San.

Tang San said helplessly, "How about this, I'll trouble you to work a little harder these few days, and when I come back, all the remaining work for this semester will be mine. You'll still get half the wages, how about that?" With his physical strength, cleaning a garden was nothing. Xiao Wu's soft skills surprised him, and he wanted to find an opportunity to continue sparring with her in the future. He wasn't someone who liked to take advantage of others.

Xiao Wu then smiled slightly, "Alright, it's settled then."

Tang San's dinner was still coarse flatbread. As soon as it got dark, all the work-study students sat on their beds and began to cultivate their soul power.

Unlike regular students, work-study students have to work much harder in their training. Although their aptitude may be average, cultivating martial spirits can be said to be their only way out in the future.

Through observation, Tang San discovered that the postures of these work-study students cultivating their martial souls were similar to his own meditation, with faint fluctuations of soul power emanating from their bodies. However, he didn't know how they actually cultivated.

Only Xiao Wu was a restless person. She didn't cultivate either. As soon as Tang San finished eating his coarse bread, she dragged him out for a walk.

In the past, Tang San would definitely have cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill. But now he had already reached a bottleneck, and the Purple Demon Eye could only be practiced in the early morning. Unable to resist Xiao Wu's urging, he had no choice but to leave the dormitory with her.

The weather is at its most comfortable this time of year; the air is cool but not chilly. It's already getting dark, the sky is clear, and the stars hang high in the sky.
