Academy Life

As the dull morning classes came to an end, Xiao Lin was called to the Head Teacher's Office for a scolding, just as he had expected.

However, once Xiao Lin displayed his Yellow Soul Ring, Lin Quan fell silent.

With a hundred-year soul ring as his First Soul Ring, Lin Quan felt he was no longer qualified to teach Xiao Lin.

Especially since Xiao Lin's First Soul Ring shone even brighter than Lin Quan's Second Soul Ring.

Afterward, Lin Quan told Xiao Lin that if he was not interested in the classes, he did not need to attend and could slip out through the Back Door.

As long as he did not disturb the other students or distract them.

When he left the Head Teacher's Office, Tang San and Xiao Wu were waiting nearby.

Tang San frowned slightly. "Brother Lin, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Teacher Lin just said that if I'm not interested in the classes from now on, I can go cultivate on my own."

Xiao Lin waved a hand, looking pleased with himself.

"That good?"

Tang San fell somewhat silent. He had found much of Lin Quan's basic knowledge rather useless as well, so he too wanted the same treatment as Xiao Lin.

"Why? Do you already know everything, Xiao Lin?"

Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Lin curiously.

This human knowledge was pretty useful, wasn't it?

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Lin has been studying on his own since he was little. He only comes to class when there's something he doesn't know and needs Teacher Lin to explain."

Tang San explained for Xiao Lin, then entered the Head Teacher's Office to speak with Lin Quan.

"No, if Little San isn't going, then I'm not going either."

Only then did Xiao Wu realize why Tang San had entered the Office, and she immediately followed him in.

Outside the Office, Xiao Lin curled his lip, shook his head, and sighed.

Had the Rogue Rabbit already gotten together with Little San?

Was Blue Silver Grass naturally attractive to rabbits, or had the gears of Destiny meshed together and begun to turn?

Before long, Tang San and Xiao Wu emerged from the Office, both smiling.

"Brother Lin, when the time comes, we'll sit beside you and do the same as you."

Tang San smiled faintly, satisfied with the outcome he had secured.

"Exactly, exactly."

Xiao Wu did not know what to say. Anyway, whatever Little San said was right.

"Come on, let's go eat at the Cafeteria."

Xiao Lin yawned, then invited the two of them to eat with him.

Along the way, Xiao Lin told them about the contents of the book, mainly explaining them for Tang San's benefit.

As Xiao Lin spoke, Tang San grew curious about those peculiar geographical regions and places with extraordinarily unusual weather.

"Oh, right, Little San. Before obtaining your Second Soul Ring, your physical condition needs to reach the level where you can absorb a thousand-year soul ring."

Xiao Lin quietly told Tang San as they walked.

"Mm."

"What? A thousand years? Are you crazy, Xiao Lin?"

At that moment, Xiao Wu cried out in alarm.

Although Xiao Lin had spoken quietly to Tang San, Xiao Wu was a rabbit spirit, so she had still heard him.

"Crazy? What's so strange about that?"

Xiao Lin shot Xiao Wu an annoyed look, feeling that she was making a fuss over nothing.

Tang San quietly explained it to Xiao Wu and told her not to make such a fuss. This was their secret.

It was hard to imagine that after sleeping together for just one night, Tang San had changed so much toward Xiao Wu. If they slept together for six years, wouldn't Tang San end up getting lured away by Xiao Wu?

Xiao Lin could not help thinking so.

Only after seeing Xiao Wu nod furtively did Xiao Lin continue his explanation.

"You know this, Little San. Our next soul ring will need to be a thousand-year one, so we must build up our physical condition."

"Before reaching level 20, in addition to continuing to forge and train your body, Little San, you need to communicate with the Blue Silver Grass in the academy. Let it help you cultivate and increase your Vitality."

Xiao Lin laid out his plan directly. "Then, before we reach level 20, I also need to find a way to publish a Paper on Super Limit Soul Ring Absorption."

Xiao Lin was only doing this so that his soul ring would not seem quite so unexpected.

A thousand-year Second Soul Ring would be a Monster far beyond even a genius in this era.

If Xiao Lin did not publish a paper, people might grow suspicious, and his life could be in danger.

Although such a thesis might aid the enemy, Xiao Lin had no choice.

He couldn't possibly absorb a century-old soul ring just to suppress his Combat Power.

At worst, he simply wouldn't use his Second Soul Ring during the six years at the academy.

Once there were successful examples of Super Limit Soul Ring Absorption six years later, Xiao Lin and the others' Second Millennium Soul Rings would no longer seem so outrageous.

Besides, as the saying went, the Dao rose one foot, and demons rose ten.

Xiao Lin possessed knowledge far beyond this era, while Tang San possessed Fortune that surpassed everyone else's.

Xiao Lin refused to believe that, as the one who published this theory, they would still lose to others.

At worst, he could keep another trick up his sleeve in the thesis.

He would leave out Mental Power and speak only of physical strength.

Besides, Xiao Lin still remembered the matter of Whale Rubber.

Even if others achieved Super Limit Soul Ring Absorption, they still couldn't possibly be stronger than Xiao Lin and the others, could they?

What could anyone else use to compete with Xiao Lin and the others?

On the way, Xiao Lin only said a few simple words before falling silent.

Tang San would come find Xiao Lin himself that afternoon to discuss it.

After hastily finishing lunch, Xiao Lin prepared to go back and take another nap.

Tang San, meanwhile, planned to find a suitable patch of grass at the academy, plant Blue Silver Grass, and set up an environment for mimetic cultivation.

Xiao Wu still followed Tang San around, eagerly asking about everything that piqued her curiosity.

On a patch of grass at Notting Academy.

Seeing no one around, Tang San took out a bag of Blue Silver Grass seeds from his Storage Soul Tool. On the surface, it looked as though he had taken them from his pocket.

After scattering the seeds over the ground, Tang San summoned his Blue Silver Grass and used vitality to stimulate its growth.

"Little San, what are you doing?"

"Setting up a cultivation setting for a mimetic environment."

"Little San, what exactly did Xiao Lin mean by the Second Millennium Soul Ring he mentioned earlier?"

"It means absorbing a millennium soul ring. Brother Lin believes that the soul ring absorption age limit published by Yu Xiaogang is wrong, so he wants me to train my physical strength hard, and then..."

Tang San hid almost nothing from Xiao Wu, aside from a few secrets that belonged solely to him and Xiao Lin.

The matter of soul rings was fine. Xiao Lin had already intended to publish a new thesis anyway, so there was no harm in telling Xiao Wu.

At that moment, Xiao Wu lowered her head, lost in thought.

She had never expected that, despite taking human form from her cultivation as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in order to seek revenge—

She still couldn't beat an ordinary six-year-old child. What was even more unexpected was that this six-year-old possessed unparalleled Combat Power while also having such profound understanding of Martial Souls.

Perhaps her hope for revenge would have to rely on Xiao Lin's theories.

In that instant, Xiao Wu had already made up her mind.

She would take Xiao Lin and Tang San as her underlings.

Oh, she had already won Little San over. That only left Xiao Lin.

Then she would take her two underlings, along with Da Ming and Er Ming, to seek revenge on that woman.

"Little San, just tell me. How do you achieve Super Limit Soul Ring Absorption?"

Seeing Xiao Wu's delicate little face acting cute before him, Tang San's heart, which had been single for so long, began to melt.

"Fine, I'll tell you. But you're not allowed to tell anyone else."

"Mm-hmm."
