Tang San's "So Good" Law

At the first part, Tang San was immediately overjoyed. After obtaining a Soul Ring, his strength would surely rise to another level.

Moreover, his cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill had currently stalled. Only after obtaining a Soul Ring could he determine whether it had been affected by the lack of one.

But when Yu Xiaogang said he wanted him to go together with Huo Feng, Tang San was visibly stunned.

Huo Feng had already refused to take him as his master, so why did Master still want to bring him along? If Huo Feng could receive the same treatment as someone who had become his disciple without becoming one himself...

Then hadn't Tang San's three kowtows been for nothing?

Though puzzled, he could not ask outright. He could only nod and agree. "Teacher, I understand."

Seeming to notice the subtle shift in Tang San's mood, Yu Xiaogang gently patted his shoulder.

"Come to my dormitory alone this afternoon. There are still some things I want to ask you."

Tang San was delighted when he heard that.

Sure enough, becoming a disciple still had its benefits.

Master was surely going to pass his vast knowledge on to him.

"Yes, Teacher!"

He gave Yu Xiaogang a slight bow before returning to the dormitory.

When Tang San opened the food his teacher had brought him, his eyes lit up.

There were several steamed white buns, and even a chicken drumstick.

That already counted as very good food for him.

Tang San could not help feeling fortunate that he had not gone to the cafeteria with Huo Feng and the others just now.

Not only would he have owed them a favor, but the food might not even have been this good.

After traveling all morning with his somewhat weakened body, he had actually been starving for a long time.

He wolfed down the chicken drumstick in a few bites, then began eating the buns.

Just then, a noisy clamor came from outside the dormitory door.

"I haven't eaten a feast like this in ages!"

"Who has? Boss is seriously awesome!"

"Didn't you see those high-year trash bags turn green with envy? Let's see what right they have to act arrogant from now on."

"Where'd all their swagger go? Why did it suddenly disappear? Hahahaha!"

"Bang—!"

The dormitory door was pushed open rather forcefully, and more than a dozen people surged inside.

Wang Sheng was at the head of the group.

At a glance, he spotted Tang San sitting in the corner, gnawing on a bun.

Their eyes met, making things slightly awkward.

"Where's the stuff?"

Wang Sheng called out, then turned to look at the others.

"Here it is, Boss, I—"

"Smack—!"

Before the person could finish, Wang Sheng gave him a solid slap on the head.

"What boss? Brother Feng is our boss!"

Wang Sheng snatched the paper-wrapped bundle from the person's hands.

"Right, right, right, this stupid mouth of mine!"

Realizing he had misspoken, the work-study student hurriedly apologized. "Brother Sheng, I understand. Brother Feng is the boss."

The Brother Feng they spoke of was naturally Huo Feng. Though he was not very old yet...

He was strong!

Was it really too much to call him Brother Feng? Tang San was dumbfounded by the scene.

Had Huo Feng's prestige already become this great?

More importantly, he did not see Huo Feng among this group at all.

Right, and there was also that girl named Xiao Wu.

Aside from those two, everyone else seemed to have returned.

At that moment, Wang Sheng handed Tang San a brown-paper-wrapped bundle, his face full of pride. "Boss treated us to a meal today. He knew you hadn't eaten, so he had us bring some back for you."

Tang San accepted it, opened it, and instantly froze.

Half a roast chicken, half a steamed fish, and half a braised pork knuckle! In truth, they were all leftovers that everyone had been too full to finish. Huo Feng had been about to leave when he suddenly remembered Tang San.

It would help nourish his body too. Perhaps it could even shorten the cooldown for the sacrifice.

Tang San was utterly stunned. The last time he had seen all three of these foods together was probably back when he had been in the Tang Sect of another world.

Ever since transmigrating to Douluo Continent, let alone meat, even drinking porridge counted as a luxury.

"This..."

Wang Sheng had said it was a meal Boss had treated them to, which meant Huo Feng.

But how could Huo Feng have had the money to treat people to such extravagant food?

As someone from the same Holy Spirit Village, Tang San knew Huo Feng's family circumstances very well.

They had practically been on the verge of starving to death. If Old Jack had not occasionally provided them with grain, they might have died long ago.

This... Tang San picked up the pork knuckle and took a bite. Soft, rich, fragrant, satisfying.

He was not dreaming!

It was so good!

Whatever. He would eat first and talk later.

Sure enough, Tang San could not escape this law either.

He swept through the leftovers like a whirlwind, deeply satisfied.

The whole process took no more than five minutes.

Now it was Wang Sheng's turn to be dumbfounded.

He had only gone out to wash his face. By the time he returned, Tang San had even thrown away the scraps.

What happened to having no appetite? Only then did Tang San remember what Master had told him.

After all, one's mouth was softened after eating someone else's food.

He suddenly felt that there had to be a reason Master wanted him to go with Huo Feng.

"Didn't Huo Feng come back with you?"

Tang San asked Wang Sheng.

"You mean Boss?"

"He went for a walk with Sister Xiao Wu. He said they were getting familiar with the academy."

The moment Wang Sheng mentioned Huo Feng, his expression became even more animated.

He had also started calling Xiao Wu Sister Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu's methods just now had won him over too.

Was it really too much to call her Sister Xiao Wu?

"They should be back soon."

"Alright, I understand. Thank you."

Tang San replied politely.

If Huo Feng did not return for a long time, he could only go find Master first and speak to him when he returned that night.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, Huo Feng and Xiao Wu entered the dormitory laughing and chatting.

The moment they came in, everyone in the dormitory, no matter what they were doing, stopped.

They all greeted Huo Feng first.

Huo Feng naturally waved back with a smile.

He had not expected a single meal to have such an exceptionally good effect.

Only Tang San remained calm as a crane among chickens, walking straight toward him.

It was only after approaching that he revealed a smile.

"Huo Feng, thank you for bringing food back for me."

Huo Feng hurriedly shook his head and waved it off, answering indifferently, "We're classmates, and we're from the same village. It's nothing."

If they did not give it to you, the cafeteria uncles and aunties would have packed it up to feed pigs anyway.

This even saved them the trouble.

Tang San did not know what Huo Feng was thinking. He said a few more polite words.

Then he directly led Huo Feng out of the dormitory and into the hallway.

The others in the dormitory looked curious.

Why were they acting so mysterious? But since it concerned their boss, they naturally would not ask further.

"If there's something, just say it. We're all classmates."

Huo Feng was rather speechless. What could possibly be worth discussing in private?

Could it be that Tang San wanted to thank him by using his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, to crack walnuts for him?

Tang San looked around. Only after confirming no one was there did he lower his voice.

"Teacher is taking me to hunt a Soul Beast tomorrow and find a suitable Soul Ring."

"He said the two of us should go together tomorrow."

???

Huo Feng frowned slightly. He understood now.

Tang San had only said Yu Xiaogang would help him hunt a Soul Beast, but he had not said Yu Xiaogang would help him obtain a Soul Ring as well.

And he wanted Huo Feng to go with Tang San?

What was Yu Xiaogang up to?

"Right!"

Something suddenly occurred to Huo Feng. He immediately smiled and replied, "Alright. Since Master has spoken, then we'll go together."

Tang San needed to hunt a Soul Beast to obtain his First Soul Ring.

And Huo Feng had a hidden mission.

As long as he sacrificed Yu Xiaogang, he could obtain a five-hundred-year yellow Soul Ring! Wasn't this a perfect chance to get close to him and then sacrifice him?
