Ever since he learned how to meditate, Wang Xiaofeng wished he could spend all twenty-four hours of every day cultivating.
He scared Wang Danu into thinking Wang Xiaofeng had caught some disease where he would die if he did not meditate.
How could these foolish Douluo people understand the thoughts of a modern man? Wang Xiaofeng cultivated desperately, feeling the Soul Power inside him increase bit by bit, and he was especially excited. Then...
Wang Xiaofeng ended up aching all over from overcultivating.
"Old Dad, why didn't you tell me I could only cultivate for a maximum of eight hours a day?"
He lay on the bed, unable to move from the pain wracking his entire body. He could only glare fiercely at Wang Danu. If looks could kill, Wang Danu might already have been sliced into tofu.
"You didn't ask." Wang Danu waved a hand and said indifferently, "The swelling of your meridians from overcultivating will be gone after one night anyway. Just be careful next time."
"..." Wang Xiaofeng watched Wang Danu leave, then began planning out his daily cultivation schedule. I'll cultivate in the afternoon from now on. That way, I can still train my body in the morning.
Of course, that plan lasted only one day before it was scrapped and redone.
After cultivating in the afternoon, Wang Xiaofeng felt full of energy, as if he had just woken up. As a result, he could not sleep at all that night and suffered through a sleepless night. So, he moved his cultivation to the evening. Not only could it replace sleep, but it also left him more time for other things.
(≧≦)/Plan successful
Emmm, of course, it was easier said than done. Wang Xiaofeng had not expected that it would take him two months to finally overcome his drowsiness and achieve his small goal of replacing sleep with meditation.
If this had been the real world, he would have dropped dead from overwork long ago. (Kids, don't try this.)
The Yellow River flowed east into the sea, while the sun set over the western ocean. Rivers and fleeting light passed by, never waiting for anyone. Ahem, ahem. In the blink of an eye, two months had passed...
"Old Dad, why haven't I gone to school after all this time? Wang Ergou next door is practically about to start school already." Wang Xiaofeng complained casually as he ate.
Over the past two months, he had worked hard and then worked even harder, persisting with his cultivation every day. His diligence had definitely surpassed that of most children, yet he felt absolutely no sign of his Soul Power breaking through.
It must be because I lack a Meditation Method, Wang Xiaofeng thought. Maybe Old Dad is just ignorant. There must be some advanced cultivation method out there waiting for me.
The moment Wang Danu heard that, he smacked his forehead. "I was wondering what I'd forgotten. I forgot to take you to the Spirit Hall Elementary Soul Master Academy in Heavenly Eye City."
"What? Does that mean I have to wait until next year to start school?" Wang Xiaofeng cursed inwardly. No! There are still advanced Meditation Methods out there waiting for me to leap off a cliff and stumble into a fortuitous encounter!
Wang Danu had no idea Wang Xiaofeng had such a dramatic inner world. "Keep eating here. I'll go ask Wang Feng right now and see whether you can still register." Wang Danu put down his bowl and rushed out in a panic.
(Because of Wang Feng, Calabash Village had one self-funded enrollment slot at the Spirit Hall Elementary Academy every year.)
Far away, Wang Feng suddenly sneezed. "It's already been a month since registration closed. Why hasn't Wang Xiaofeng come looking for me yet?"
"Old Dad, what are we supposed to do now?" "That's right. You missed your son's registration deadline. What are we supposed to do now?"
Wang Danu was being put on trial by three people.
"There's no other way. If we don't want my son to fall behind everyone else, we can only go to Moro City."
Moro City was located beside Suotuo City in the Balak Kingdom. It was one of Suotuo City's satellite cities and held an important position. Its well-connected transportation network had made Moro City one of merchants' favorite cities, and its economic development did not lose out to Suotuo City.
Wang Xiaofeng now stood at the entrance to Moro City.
Because it was not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, its city walls had been built exceptionally thick and sturdy.
It was Wang Xiaofeng's first time seeing a medieval-style city, and for a moment, he was like a country bumpkin entering a grand estate, looking left and right. Wang Danu simply assumed the child had never seen much of the world and found it amusing.
After Wang Xiaofeng and Wang Danu underwent the same inspection as the other passing pedestrians, they entered Moro City.
Moro Elementary Soul Master Academy was located in the western part of Moro City. Wang Danu transformed into something of a tour guide and introduced the city to Wang Xiaofeng.
"Old Dad, how are you so familiar with this place?" Wang Xiaofeng seriously suspected that Wang Danu had been swapped out. Otherwise, how could a village chief know a city three hundred li away so well? Wang Danu had never even traveled far from home.
"Hahaha, all the children from our village study here. Before you were born, I brought them back to the village every year." Wang Danu had no idea Wang Xiaofeng was making up stories about him in his head. Otherwise, he definitely would have pinched his face hard.
After following Wang Danu through several twists and turns, they finally caught a vague glimpse of a gate ahead. "That's Moro Elementary Soul Master Academy."
From afar, they could already see a towering arched gate. It was twenty meters wide and over ten meters tall, built entirely from solid stone. Beneath it stood two iron grille gates, gleaming silver, clearly made from some kind of precious metal.
Through the iron grilles, they could see a winding path leading deep inside. A broad road stretched straight inward, flanked by tall trees on both sides.
At the center of the arch were four large characters: "Moro Academy."
The moment Wang Danu led Wang Xiaofeng up to the gate, they were stopped by the young gatekeeper. "What do you want?"
Wang Danu hurriedly said, "Little brother, we're from Calabash Village. I'd like to ask whether registration is still open."
The gatekeeper frowned. "You're lucky. Today is the last day. Hurry up and take the child inside to register!" Wang Danu quickly thanked him and led Wang Xiaofeng inside.
"Go to the Academic Affairs Office to register first."
Moro Elementary Soul Master Academy was not as large as it appeared from the outside. It was mainly divided into several areas: the main teaching building, the Training Field, and the dormitory building on the eastern side of the Training Field. Although it was only an elementary Soul Master academy, its requirements for students were extremely strict. Even if their homes were right beside the academy, students still had to live on campus and accept unified management.
It feels about the same as middle school in my previous life, except going home once a week has become going home once a year, Wang Xiaofeng thought.
After completing the paperwork, Wang Danu went to take a look at Wang Xiaofeng's dormitory. During the visit, he casually revealed his identity as a Great Soul Master.
Watching Wang Danu enjoy the worshipful gazes of his roommates, Wang Xiaofeng curled his lip and could only make his own bed.
"Son, study hard at the academy and don't cause trouble. Of course, if someone bullies you and you can't beat them, endure it for now. Old Dad will come teach them a lesson later." Only after giving Wang Xiaofeng several more reminders did Wang Danu leave.
Looking at the six-year-old children around him, some sniffing snot while eating candy and others playing house together, Wang Xiaofeng suddenly felt that his school life would be a long and arduous road.
