Growing up meant having rice gruel so thin it could hardly be called gruel.

It was only after arriving at Nuoding Academy that his meals had improved somewhat.

Soul beast meat—let alone eating it, he had never even seen it before.

But since he had just refused, he naturally had no intention of shamelessly asking for it afterward.

A moment later, Fei picked his teeth and wore a look of satisfaction.

"Really delicious!"

"Stinky A Fei! I didn't expect your cooking to be pretty good!" Xiao Wu imitated Fei, using a bamboo skewer to pick her teeth. Her original delicate and adorable image had vanished without a trace.

"If you're going to call me A Fei, then just call me A Fei. Why add 'stinky'?" Fei glared at her unhappily.

"I'm willing to. What's it to you?" Xiao Wu snorted.

"A good man doesn't quarrel with a woman! I can't be bothered to argue with you!" Fei patted his rear and stood up, preparing to leave.

He was full, so it was time to take a walk and digest his food.

Just then, a voice rang out, accompanied by a familiar figure.

"Xiao San!"

"What are you three doing here?!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the three who had skipped class and come out, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Teacher..." Tang San bowed, not knowing how to explain himself. If Yu Xiaogang learned that he had skipped class with Xiao Wu, he would surely be reprimanded, and Xiao Wu would be implicated as well.

A wise gleam flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

Relying on a few clues, he had already analyzed what had happened.

"Xiao San, did you skip class?"

"Although it doesn't matter whether you attend those classes or not, you still shouldn't skip them!"

Yu Xiaogang looked stern, with a trace of displeasure in his eyes. However, that displeasure was not directed at Tang San, but at Fei and Xiao Wu.

"Xiao San, from now on, come to my room in the mornings. I'll teach you personally!"

"You don't need to attend the other teachers' classes anymore."

"Come back with me!"

Yu Xiaogang's brows were tightly furrowed.

Perhaps he was genuinely angry, or perhaps it was for some other reason.

At this moment, even when he looked at Fei and Xiao Wu, his gaze was no longer the same as before.

There was a hint of resentment in it.

"Teacher, I'm coming." Tang San scratched his head, unable to understand why Yu Xiaogang was so angry. But as a good disciple who respected his teacher, he did whatever his master told him.

"Xiao Wu, I'm leaving first." After saying that to Xiao Wu, Tang San turned and left. He wanted to leave as well. If he stayed here any longer, he would be tortured to death by the aroma.

"Fei, how can you start a fire here? What if it causes a fire?" Yu Xiaogang said irritably.

"These flames are all my Soul Skills. I can control them freely, so don't worry." Fei chuckled.

Yu Xiaogang was rather dissatisfied with Fei's attitude. He stared at Fei with a solemn expression.

"Don't do this again!"

"You could endanger the academy. I have the right to punish you!"

"Sorry, sorry! It won't happen again!" Fei hurriedly apologized. At the end of the day, starting fires recklessly was indeed a bad thing. Even in this fantasy world.

Besides, he had no desire to argue with Yu Xiaogang here.

Seeing that Fei was preparing to leave, Yu Xiaogang called out to him again. "Fei, did you just say that you already possess a Soul Skill? When did you obtain your Soul Ring?"

"Not long ago," Fei replied casually.

Then, under Yu Xiaogang's astonished gaze, he mounted the Illusory Unicorn Flash Dash and soared into the air.

"Hiss!" Unable to conceal the shock on his face, Yu Xiaogang subconsciously swallowed.

But immediately afterward, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and his brows furrowed.

"Could this be Fei's Soul Skill?"

"This is Fei's Illusory Unicorn Flash Dash, not a Soul Skill, you country bumpkin!" Xiao Wu clapped her hands and left the scene as well.

Yu Xiaogang's mind went blank.

He stared blankly at Xiao Wu's back.

Country... country bumpkin?

Was she talking about him?

I, Yu Xiaogang, was once a young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Now I've actually fallen so far that someone calls me a country bumpkin...

"Teacher, don't be angry. Xiao Wu... she's just rather blunt." Tang San spoke up for Xiao Wu.

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened. He was more or less angry.

Blunt?

Did that mean you also think I'm a country bumpkin?

However, with Tang San present, he couldn't show his bad side.

But there were still things he needed to say.

"Xiao San, you possess peerless talent. You absolutely cannot waste your time on other things! What happened today must never happen again!"

"And from now on, spend less time with Fei and Xiao Wu!"

"Why?" Tang San asked, somewhat confused.

If it were only Fei, that would be one thing. But when he spent time with a cute girl like Xiao Wu, he could feel his mood growing more cheerful.

"Although Fei and Xiao Wu both possess Innate Full Soul Power, they make no effort to improve themselves. All they know is how to idle their days away, and they don't even cultivate at night."

"If this continues, they'll eventually become ordinary people. You and them will belong to two different worlds."

Yu Xiaogang spoke with absolute certainty. His stern expression left Tang San unsure where to begin arguing.

After all, everything Yu Xiaogang had said was true based on what had happened so far.

"All right, enough about that."

"Come back with me. I'll teach you personally."

Yu Xiaogang turned and left.

Seeing this, Tang San hurried to follow. Thinking about what had happened with Fei, he couldn't help asking:

"Teacher, is it possible for a Soul Master's first Soul Ring to exceed 423 years?"

He didn't dare say that Fei's first Soul Ring was five or six hundred years old.

That would be far too unbelievable.

But the Soul Power fluctuations from Fei's Soul Ring were indeed much stronger than his own.

"That's impossible!" Yu Xiaogang answered decisively and said with certainty, "My research is the most accurate! The limit for a Soul Master's first Soul Ring is 423 years! If it exceeds that age, the Soul Master will only die!"

Hearing this, Tang San nodded.

Yu Xiaogang had spoken with such certainty that he cast aside his previous doubts.

But Yu Xiaogang's brows furrowed.

Tang San had clearly believed in his theories completely before. Why had he begun doubting them after such a short time?

"Xiao San, did someone tell you something?"

Tang San pondered for a moment before saying, "Teacher, Fei said that his Soul Ring came from a five- or six-hundred-year-old Crimson Fire Flame Dragon. That age was told to him by someone from Spirit Hall."

"A five- or six-hundred-year-old Crimson Fire Flame Dragon?" Yu Xiaogang's eyes suddenly widened. The next moment, he decisively shook his head and said with absolute certainty, "That's impossible!"

"Those people from Spirit Hall probably couldn't accurately distinguish the age of the Crimson Fire Flame Dragon, so they simply made it up."

"But I truly felt that the Soul Power fluctuations emitted by Fei's Soul Ring were stronger than mine..." Light flickered in Tang San's eyes, and his voice grew lower and lower.

"Heh..." The corners of Yu Xiaogang's lips lifted slightly as he chuckled. "Xiao San, that's because the Crimson Fire Flame Dragon itself is a much more powerful existence than the Mandala Snake, which is why it produces such an effect."

"Even a three-hundred-year-old Crimson Fire Flame Dragon is stronger than a four-hundred-year-old Mandala Snake."

"That's a difference between soul beast species. It's an unchangeable fact."

Tang San's eyes lit up.

That's right!

How had I not thought of that?

Sure enough, I still need to study Martial Soul theory properly under Teacher. Otherwise, if I encounter something like this again in the future, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
