As for making money, it was easy for him.
He only needed to forge a few more pieces of iron every afternoon.
If he cut back on food and expenses a little more, he could save up enough money.
It was getting late.
Once Seven Dormitory had quieted down, Tang San took out the cultivation manual Yu Xiaogang had written for him.
"As expected of the Grandmaster. He even knows so much about relationships between men and women."
In his previous life, he had lived in the Tang Sect. He had either spent his time cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, making hidden weapons, or carrying out missions and killing a few people for fun.
Where would he have found the time to study how to interact with women?
Time slowly passed.
A semester at Nuoding Junior Academy soon came to an end.
On this day, Nuoding Junior Academy went on holiday. Most of the students returned home, while only a small number remained at the academy.
"A Fei, the academy's on holiday. Aren't you going home?" Xiao Wu stood beneath a tree and called up to him.
Fei was currently leaning against a treetop, hiding beneath the branches and leaves with his eyes closed as he rested.
Hearing Xiao Wu's question, he said indifferently, "I just went back a few days ago! Besides, I'm the only one in my family. What would I go back for?"
With his speed, he could return whenever he wanted.
He didn't even need the time it took to eat a meal.
"Then are you planning to sleep here until you die?" Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and said irritably.
"What are you talking about!" Fei protested indignantly. "I'm cultivating my Soul Power, all right! Do you think I'm like you? I'm very diligent!"
The corner of Xiao Wu's mouth twitched slightly.
She didn't believe a single word of Fei's nonsense.
Over the past year, his daily routine had clearly been about the same as hers, yet his Soul Power Level was higher than hers.
It was also considerably higher than Tang San's, despite all his hard work cultivating.
However, she was the only one who knew Fei's Soul Power Level.
Just then, Tang San suddenly appeared.
"Xiao Wu, aren't you going home?"
"Me? I... I don't want to go home just yet..." Xiao Wu lowered her gaze, her voice somewhat subdued.
"I'm going back to Sheng Hun Village. Do you want to come with me?" Tang San invited Xiao Wu with a smile.
"Go to Sheng Hun Village with you?" Xiao Wu was slightly stunned. Then, thinking of something, she asked, "Didn't your father leave Sheng Hun Village? Why are you going back?"
Tang San sighed softly and said with a bitter smile, "I want to go back and check. Maybe my father has returned?"
"I see..." Xiao Wu thought it over carefully for a moment before saying, "Since that's the case, I'll go with you! It's terribly boring at the academy anyway!"
After saying this, Xiao Wu looked up at Fei and shouted, "Stinky A Fei! Get down here! Xiao San and I are going to Sheng Hun Village. You're coming too!"
"What am I supposed to say to you two?" Fei scratched his head, utterly speechless.
"I don't care!" Xiao Wu said overbearingly and without reason. "If you don't come with us, I'll keep making noise and stop you from sleeping!"
"Let's see who can hold out longer!"
The corner of Fei's eye twitched.
What a vicious tactic!
The three of them had just prepared to leave Nuoding Academy when Yu Xiaogang suddenly came looking for them. He was also holding a document.
"Why are you all here?"
Yu Xiaogang slightly furrowed his brow when he saw Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"Teacher, what brings you here?" Tang San asked, somewhat surprised.
"I came to find Fei." Yu Xiaogang placed the document in his hand before Fei and said coldly, "Fei, you've met the requirements for graduation. You can leave Nuoding Academy."
"This is your graduation certificate. With it, you can enroll at another intermediate academy."
"Go back and pack your things. Once the holiday ends, you don't need to return to Nuoding Academy."
Fei felt somewhat astonished by Yu Xiaogang's words. But after his astonishment came a burst of delight.
He didn't know why.
Perhaps this was the first time in his life that he had graduated early because of his excellent grades!
"Oh, really!"
Fei accepted the graduation certificate and examined it with a smile.
"Grandmaster, Tang San and I are Soul Masters now. Can we graduate early too?" Xiao Wu asked expectantly.
Before starting school, she had been incredibly excited about life in the human world.
But after starting school, that vibrant feeling, as if all things were coming back to life, had instantly vanished, becoming lifeless and dull.
Going to school?
That was truly a sad affair!
"No!" Yu Xiaogang shook his head. How could he not know what Xiao Wu was thinking?
However, he had yet to complete the task Tang Hao had given him. There was no relationship between Tang San and Xiao Wu of the kind he had imagined.
Therefore, he flatly refused Xiao Wu.
"Fine, I understand." Fei shook the document and turned to leave.
As for the belongings in the work-study students' dormitory, he no longer needed them.
Even if he took them, he had nowhere to put them.
If only I had a Storage Soul Tool. Fei thought to himself. Douluo Continent didn't have the storage rings from the fantasy novels he had read, but it did have things like Storage Soul Tools.
Compared to their functions, Storage Soul Tools came in all kinds of shapes and forms, and their appearances were quite excellent.
"Bye-bye!"
"I finally don't have to attend class anymore!"
Fei strode toward the exit of Nuoding Academy.
As for attending another intermediate academy, that was impossible.
Now that he possessed extraordinary power, why the hell would he still go to school?
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
He, Fei, was destined to become a hero who punished evil and upheld justice!
Of course, before that, he had to satisfy his vanity first.
"Teacher, why is the academy letting Fei graduate early?" Tang San looked up at Yu Xiaogang and asked, puzzled.
Isn't it so you can take advantage of being close to her first?
Yu Xiaogang sighed inwardly.
After shaking his head slightly, he said:
"Xiao San, leave early and return soon."
"Your cultivation progress has already slowed down."
"Even Xiao Wu is cultivating faster than you!"
After a year, Xiao Wu's Soul Power Level had already reached fifteen. It might soon reach sixteen.
Tang San, meanwhile, had only just broken through to level fifteen.
His cultivation speed had already fallen far behind Xiao Wu's.
He knew Xiao Wu's daily routine like the back of his hand. She didn't cultivate at night.
Yet even so, her Soul Power Level had increased faster than Tang San's!
"Yes, Teacher." Tang San lowered his head slightly. He knew that Yu Xiaogang was concerned about him, so he naturally didn't find anything wrong with it.
Moreover, the person he was being compared to was Xiao Wu, not that fellow Fei.
That made him even less annoyed.
"Xiao Wu, let's go."
Tang San smiled and said, "I've saved up quite a bit of money recently. I'll treat you to something delicious on the way back."
