Did I Become One of Spirit Hall's People?

Feng Hao was momentarily stunned by this sudden choice.

His premonition had been right. There really was something wrong with Tang San.

"Looks like the bond between this master and disciple really won't be so easy to sever. But that's fine, as long as it doesn't affect my Xiao Wu," Feng Hao thought to himself.

Outwardly, he said to Tang San, "Study theoretical knowledge for a while before going to obtain a soul ring!"

"Yes, Teacher." Tang San agreed without the slightest doubt.

Then he added, "Teacher, I may have some matters to attend to over the next few days and would like to ask for leave. What do you think...?"

"If you have something to do, then take leave. It's not like the academy holds classes every day," Feng Hao said indifferently.

If nothing unexpected happened, Tang San was probably planning to hunt Spirit Beasts with Master.

"Thank you, Teacher. Then this student will take his leave first." Tang San rose to his feet.

"Mm! Go on!" Feng Hao waved his hand.

After Tang San left, Feng Hao also received the Invisibility Cloak he had obtained from his choice.

This Invisibility Cloak truly deserved to be called a divine artifact. Its abilities were ridiculously overpowered.

The Invisibility Cloak had two abilities: invisibility and concealment of aura, and transformation.

Invisibility and aura concealment were one ability, both intended for hiding.

Transformation, meanwhile, could alter one's appearance and build.

Even if a Titled Douluo came, they would be unable to see through it.

After Tang San went downstairs, Xiao Wu asked in confusion, "Brother Feng Hao, why aren't you taking him to obtain a Martial Soul now?"

"There's something wrong with that person. Let's go home first! I'll explain it to you slowly once we're home," Feng Hao said gravely.

"Something wrong?" Xiao Wu was instantly startled. If Feng Hao said there was something wrong, it definitely wasn't anything minor.

"Mm!"

"Brother Feng Hao, let's go home first."

Feng Hao's home.

"Brother Feng Hao, what's wrong with that person?" As soon as they returned home, Xiao Wu impatiently asked.

"He acknowledged me as his teacher, but his heart isn't sincere," Feng Hao said.

"His heart isn't sincere?"

"Mm! He should have also sought out that Master from the academy. And that person isn't a child."

"If he isn't a child, then what is he?"

"He was once a very powerful person. After dying, he used Body Seizure to take over this child's body."

"Body Seizure? What does that mean?"

"It means that one day, a powerful soul suddenly takes over your body, destroys your soul, and replaces you. Nothing may appear wrong on the surface, but his soul isn't only six years old. He also knows many things. He's a very dangerous person, so you should keep your distance from him as much as possible."

"Then isn't he an old monster?" Xiao Wu said in horror.

At that moment, she combined the image of an old pervert with Tang San's outward appearance and could not help shuddering.

It was too terrifying. Just thinking about it was frightening.

"Brother Feng Hao, then why did you still take him as your disciple?" Xiao Wu did not understand. Since he knew this person was so terrifying, shouldn't he stay far away from him?

"I took him as my disciple because his talent is good, and I didn't want it to go to waste. I hoped I could guide him back onto the right path, but it seems that still won't work." Feng Hao sighed.

"Brother Feng Hao, why not find an opportunity to expel him? There's no need to take risks," Xiao Wu suggested.

"Mm! I'll try to find an opportunity. Xiao Wu, I may need to investigate Tang San's situation over the next few days, so go to school by yourself. Take this money and buy yourself something to eat." Feng Hao took out a Gold Soul Coin and handed it to Xiao Wu.

One Gold Soul Coin was enough for them to spend for a month.

Giving her one Gold Soul Coin to spend over a few days was more than enough.

"Brother Feng Hao, are you going to follow him?" Xiao Wu was somewhat worried. Feng Hao had made Tang San sound so dangerous, and she feared something might happen if Feng Hao tracked him.

"Mm! His so-called business is probably something shady. I have to find out, but don't worry, he can't do anything to me," Feng Hao promised.

"Then come back soon, Brother Feng Hao." Xiao Wu looked at him and spoke seriously.

After all, Xiao Wu had already become somewhat dependent on him these past few days. She would feel unaccustomed to not having him around.

"Mm! I couldn't bear to leave my Xiao Wu here alone for too long." Feng Hao rubbed her soft little face as he spoke.

"Brother Feng Hao, you're rubbing my face again." She huffed angrily. Over the past few days, Feng Hao's hand had pinched her face plenty of times.

Mainly because her little face felt so nice to rub that Feng Hao was getting addicted to it.

"I won't get to pinch it for the next few days, so I need to pinch it a little more," Feng Hao said smugly, with no intention of pulling his hand back.

Feng Hao then prepared another letter and asked Xiao Wu to deliver it to Director Su. He too would be taking a few days off.

After that night, the next day arrived.

While the sky was still dim, Feng Hao put on the Invisibility Cloak.

After turning invisible, he headed directly toward the academy.

When he arrived outside the academy, he waited only a short while before seeing Tang San and Yu Xiaogang emerge.

After the two left the academy, Yu Xiaogang asked, "Feng Hao didn't notice anything, right?"

"Probably not," Tang San said.

"It's fine that he doesn't want to find you a soul ring right now. We'll find one ourselves, which will make it easier to get a good soul ring," Yu Xiaogang said.

"Master, where are we going to look?" Tang San asked.

"We'll go four hundred li northeast of Nuoding City, to Soul Hunting Forest. That's where the Empire raises Spirit Beasts. We'll definitely find a Martial Soul suitable for you there," Yu Xiaogang said with certainty.

"Raises Spirit Beasts? Spirit Beasts can be raised?" Tang San asked in surprise.

"The higher-level ones cannot be raised, but there's no problem with some lower-level ones. Spirit Beasts are actually just wild beasts with Soul Power. The longer they have existed, the stronger they become. Their strength is divided into five ranks according to their age: ten-year Spirit Beasts, hundred-year Spirit Beasts, thousand-year Spirit Beasts, Ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Their colors are respectively..."

"..."

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San talked as they traveled, asking and answering questions about Spirit Beasts.

Meanwhile, Feng Hao listened from behind them the whole way.

If there was any difference between Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's relationship now and in the original story, it was that Tang San only called him Master rather than Teacher.

Everything else seemed to be the same.

After preparing all kinds of supplies, they boarded a carriage for Soul Hunting Forest.

Feng Hao sat atop their carriage, yet neither of them noticed him at all.

Not long after Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San the belt, the two finally brought up Feng Hao.

"Xiao San, find an opportunity in the future to ask Feng Hao about the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls. He's one of Spirit Hall's people, and he seems to be quite close to the Pope, so he should know some information."

Emmm? I somehow became one of Spirit Hall's people? How did Yu Xiaogang come up with that? And Tang San actually believed him? Feng Hao was utterly dumbfounded.

Although he coveted Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Hu Liena,

he currently had no connection whatsoever with Spirit Hall.

"I will. By the way, Teacher, after my father came looking for you, did he leave this place?"

"Mm! He should leave this place for a while to prevent Spirit Hall's people from finding him," Yu Xiaogang said.

"Tang Hao actually came looking for Yu Xiaogang? A year earlier than in the original story? Looks like the impact of my involvement really isn't small," Feng Hao muttered.
