His silver hair was combed back meticulously, his face rosy like a baby's, and his long eyebrows hung down along both sides of his face. His hands were clasped behind his back.

He simply floated quietly in midair, without releasing the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power.

Then he looked at Lin Hao, cupped his hands, and said:

"Long Xiaoyao greets Big Brother!"

"Mr. Long, no need for such formality!"

Lin Hao nodded, the corners of his mouth constantly lifting. Right now, he only wanted to shout one thing: Who else was there?!

"Mr. Long, stay by my side for now. Sister Lin, you can move freely. While you're at it, test whether Soul Tools are viable in this era. I'll have a use for them later!"

"Understood!"

After exchanging a few more words, Lin Hao had Long Xiaoyao erase all traces of their visit to the cave before they returned the way they had come.

Upon reaching the Soul Hunting Forest, Lin Hao had Long Xiaoyao find a Millennium Soul Beast, then directly threw Qu Yang toward it.

He watched with his own eyes as Qu Yang was eaten mouthful by mouthful by the Soul Beast, only leaving in satisfaction afterward.

He told the few brothers who had been with Qu Yang during this time to find somewhere to lie low. After meeting up with Li Si again, he headed straight back to Notting City.

Lin Hao had acted quickly this time, so when he arrived near Notting College, he happened to witness a classic scene: the gatekeeper angrily blocking Tang San!

He had not intended to interfere, but Li Si told him that Yu Xiaogang was nearby.

Lin Hao halted. Just as the gatekeeper was preparing to beat Tang San up, Li Si coldly shouted:

"Stop! The academy hired you as a gatekeeper, not to bully people whenever you please!"

The gatekeeper froze for a moment, then the fury on his face instantly turned into fawning flattery. He nodded and bowed to Li Si.

"Teacher Li, you're back. Please come in!"

Tang San turned to look and saw a burly man with a faint scar at the corner of his eye standing beside them at some unknown point.

Beside him stood a handsome young man with resolute eyes and a distinctive air about him.

Li Si gave the gatekeeper an indifferent glance and reprimanded him:

"If this happens again, go resign at the logistics office yourself!"

Then he turned and pointed at Old Jack.

"Leave their matters to me!"

Old Jack had once been a village chief, so he knew how to read the room. He immediately said to Li Si:

"Thank you, Teacher Li. This is Tang San, a newly arrived work-study student. Little San, hurry and greet the teacher!"

Old Jack patted Tang San and reminded him in a low voice.

"Hello, Teacher!"

Tang San recovered from his daze and spoke politely.

"Mm. Follow Little Chen and register."

Li Si nodded and gestured for the gatekeeper to lead Tang San and Old Jack away. Then he suddenly turned toward Yu Xiaogang, who had been watching the show all along.

"Grandmaster certainly has refined interests. As an academy teacher, you watched helplessly as this old man and child were bullied."

Among Notting College's teachers, looking down on the Grandmaster was a trend. Naturally, Li Si went with the flow as well!

Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched. He had just realized that Tang San was no ordinary child.

He had originally planned to do him a favor, but Li Si had unexpectedly cut in first.

Watching Tang San leave, he said with an unpleasant expression:

"I was just about to help them out, but Teacher Li arrived, so I didn't show myself!"

"Heh. Hypocrite!"

Li Si mockingly glanced at Yu Xiaogang, then led Lin Hao toward the academy grounds.

"Li Si, well done!"

Lin Hao gave Li Si a thumbs-up and praised him quietly.

"You flatter me, Big Brother!"

Li Si gave a simple-minded grin and scratched his head.

The two then went to the academic affairs office to cancel their leave, after which they went to Li Si's place to get a new blanket before leaving. It was for Xiao Wu!

He had no secrets at the moment, so he still lived in Dorm Seven. Besides, he was planning to snatch Xiao Wu away first.

Dorm Seven was a large dormitory of two or three hundred square meters, with forty or fifty beds inside.

When he entered, there were still seven or eight children between the ages of eight and twelve making a racket inside.

Lin Hao had no intention of speaking with them and simply returned to his own bed to lie down.

However, one of the older children saw Lin Hao and hurriedly waved.

The next moment, the noise abruptly stopped. He walked over and sat on the bed beside Lin Hao's, smiling as he said:

"Hao-ge, you went to the Soul Hunting Forest to train. Why did you bring back a blanket?"

"This blanket is for a newly arrived work-study student. Since when did you care about things like that? If you have something to say, just say it."

Lin Hao casually explained, then gave Wang Sheng a puzzled glance.

"I heard there's a new work-study student. We definitely need to establish Dorm Seven's rules.

We can't let the newcomer look down on us. But if I can't handle it later, Hao-ge, could you help me keep up appearances?"

Wang Sheng chuckled. Though he was the boss of Dorm Seven, he knew Lin Hao was far stronger than him.

"Don't worry about that. You've managed Dorm Seven well these past few years. I'll definitely back you up!"

Lin Hao laughed as well. He had not expected Wang Sheng's instincts to be so sharp; he actually knew an unusual figure had arrived.

"Thanks, Hao-ge. Then I won't disturb you anymore!"

Wang Sheng was delighted when he saw Lin Hao agree.

Just as Wang Sheng stood up, Tang San arrived at Dorm Seven. He knocked on the door, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Seeing the patches on Tang San's clothes, Wang Sheng naturally knew that the new work-study student had arrived and immediately walked toward him.

Wang Sheng was nearly two heads taller than Tang San. Looking down at him, he said:

"A new work-study student?"

Tang San nodded and said with a faint smile:

"Hello. I'm a work-study student from Holy Soul Village."

"My name is Wang Sheng. I'm the boss here. Kid, what's your name? What's your Martial Soul?"

"My name is Tang San. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."

"Blue Silver Grass? Since when could a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul cultivate?"

Wang Sheng put on an extremely shocked expression. Most of the children in the dorm burst out laughing along with him, looking at Tang San as though he were an idiot.

Tang San still wore a smile as he said:

"Could you move aside?"

Wang Sheng ignored Tang San's words and continued:

"Little Third, I'm the boss here. From now on, you have to listen to me. Got it?"

The smile on Tang San's face gradually vanished, and he said coldly:

"My name is Tang San, not Little Third."

He came from a martial arts world, so he naturally knew that "Little Third" was a term used for eunuchs.

Wang Sheng chuckled and raised a hand, shoving Tang San on the shoulder and pushing him back several steps. He provocatively said:

"I'll call you Little Third. So what? Not convinced?"

Tang San smiled and gently shook his head, placing the academy uniform in his hands on a nearby bed.

Just as Wang Sheng was wondering what he was doing, Tang San suddenly vanished from before him.

The other students clearly saw Tang San take an incredibly swift step and somehow arrive behind Wang Sheng.

But what shocked them even more was that just as Tang San was about to punch Wang Sheng in the waist, a hand suddenly appeared on his shoulder. It was none other than Lin Hao!
