Apply for Graduation!

Time passed quickly, and three days and three nights went by.

Before dawn on the fourth day.

Tang San and Tang Hao had quietly returned from the Blue Silver Forest to their home in Sacred Soul Village.

Tang San planned to seal his current appearance for the time being. This was undoubtedly the safest place.

This temporary sealed state was highly unstable and could not be maintained for long.

That was why he had returned here before attempting it.

Inside the house, Tang Hao used the Soul Power of a Level 95 Titled Douluo to form a sturdy, solid Soul Power barrier.

Tang San closed his eyes and focused, circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill with all his strength.

This Internal Cultivation Method from the Tang Sect was not only adept at refining qi, but also uniquely effective at controlling and concealing one's aura.

He intended to use this method to temporarily seal the manifestation of his current bloodline.

He carefully guided his Internal Force, weaving it like an invisible net that slowly spread over the Rushing Unceasingly Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within him, which radiated the majesty of an Emperor.

It was a meticulous and mentally exhausting process.

The New Life Emperor Bloodline was full of vitality and pride, instinctively resisting the restraints of his Internal Force.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Tang San's forehead. He had to be patient and gentle, as though soothing an unruly Young Dragon, lest he provoke an even more intense reaction.

"Dad, this bloodline... is harder to restrain than I imagined."

Tang San opened his eyes and said with a slight gasp. He felt as though he were simultaneously operating several Tang Sect Secret Arts, draining his concentration.

Tang Hao looked at his son's slightly weary appearance and said in a Deep Voice, "An Emperor Bloodline has its own dignity. It is normal for it to resist being hidden. Do not suppress it by force. Try guiding it instead—let it temporarily fall asleep, or make its aura resemble the ordinary Blue Silver Grass you had before awakening."

Tang San fell into thought and closed his eyes again.

He no longer tried to forcibly seal it. Instead, he turned his Internal Force into gentle streams that seeped deep into his bloodline, conveying the intent to soothe and temporarily conceal it.

At the same time, he mobilized a trace of the Life Shaping Soul Skill's power, subtly adjusting the outward form of his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

Gradually, the overly dazzling halo of life around him began to withdraw inward.

His Amber Blue Gold hair, which had hung to his ankles and shone brilliantly, shortened as well. Its color slowly dimmed at a visible rate, gradually returning to something close to its original ordinary blue.

Only upon close inspection could one see an almost imperceptible Pale Gold sheen hidden deep within the strands.

The inhuman quality of his handsome face also diminished considerably. Though he was still more handsome than before, he was no longer so breathtakingly extraordinary.

Most importantly were his eyes. The deep amber-blue color gradually faded away, returning to their original black, though this black seemed clearer and brighter than before.

"How does it feel?" Tang Hao carefully sensed Tang San's changes and asked.

Tang San exhaled a breath of stale air, checked his condition, and replied, "It will do for now. I used Internal Force to simulate a layer of 'disguise,' hiding most of the bloodline aura and Martial Soul phenomena. But it feels very unstable, like it is separated by a thin veil. Once my emotions fluctuate violently, or I use most of my Soul Power—especially my Third Soul Skill—this disguise may Collapse instantly. Also, maintaining this state consumes quite a bit of my Soul Power."

After estimating it, he added, "With my current Soul Power, if I do not fight and only go about daily activities while maintaining the disguise, it should last around five days. If I fight someone, the consumption will increase sharply. It may not even last half a day."

Tang Hao pondered. "Five days is more than enough. Flying from here back to Nuoding City only takes ten minutes. Once you complete the proper procedures and obtain your Graduation Document, leave Suotuo City immediately. After you leave Nuoding City, no one will recognize you anymore. By then, you will no longer need to suppress yourself and can fully restore your original appearance."

"To avoid triggering that rabbit, I will not appear along the way. You can take a carriage to Vast Sea City. I will secretly protect you. You can also enjoy the scenery along the way and treat it as a journey. There are quite a few towns and villages during this period. Their people and customs will be a valuable life experience for you. That rabbit has only just Turned Into human form and knows very little about humans. Going to populated places and different locations, meeting more people of all kinds, will help her become a better human. It will also be very important for her future growth."

"Moreover, a Soul Master's cultivation cannot consist solely of training. You must go out and resonate with the things of this world. Perhaps your future cultivation will go even more smoothly. Besides, your foundation is already very solid. A Seven Years Old Level Thirty-Three Soul Elder is enough. There is no need to keep rushing along, or you will become exhausted. When it is time to have fun, go have some fun and relax."

Hearing Tang Hao's advice as a father, Tang San came back to his senses and carefully considered his circumstances these past days.

Indeed, all he did was cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate.

He was truly a cultivation fanatic.

He really had little contact with the people and culture of the Outside World.

Even what he knew had mostly come from books. There was far too little that he had personally seen.

Tang San nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, I understand, Dad. I will take the time to relax properly."

"Good. You are teachable."

"Let's go."

Tang Hao nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that his son had taken his words to heart, a trace of relief flashed through Tang Hao's eyes.

He said no more, withdrew the Soul Power barrier, and patted Tang San's shoulder. "No time to waste. We leave now."

Ten minutes later, Tang San and Tang Hao quietly appeared in the familiar small grove on the Back Mountain of Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.

Tang San had already returned to the appearance of that ordinary Blue-Clad Youth: short blue hair, black eyes, and an aura restrained to roughly the level of a First-Ring Soul Master above Level Ten. Though he still stood out among his peers, he was no longer shockingly exceptional.

"Go. Settle matters with the academy and Xiao Wu. I will remain in the shadows."

After Tang Hao spoke, his figure flashed, merging into the shadows of the forest like a ghost. His aura vanished completely.

Tang San took a Deep Breath, adjusted his slightly fluctuating Soul Power caused by maintaining the disguise, and walked toward the Principal's Office.

It was still early, and only a few students who had risen early to cultivate could be seen in the academy.

Tang San went straight to the Dean's Office.

Although the Dean was somewhat surprised by Tang San's return, he still received him warmly.

"Dean, I have come to apply for graduation," Tang San said directly, his tone calm.

"Graduation?" The Dean froze for a moment. Looking at this student who had enrolled only a year ago but had already become an academy legend, he found it hard to believe. "That makes sense. You possess Innate Full Soul Power, so you must have obtained your First Soul Ring long ago. Given your frenzied cultivation over the past year, your Soul Power Level must be quite high by now. You do indeed meet the academy's requirements for early graduation."

Tang San nodded. "Yes, my Soul Power has reached Level Fifteen. I want to travel and take a good look at the splendor of this world."

A fitting look of yearning for this world appeared in his eyes.

The academy's rules stated that anyone who successfully obtained their First Soul Ring and reached Level Fifteen Soul Power within six years could apply for early graduation.

Otherwise, they had to complete the normal six-year course.

Of course, some people felt their talent was limited and withdrew early to finish their studies.

These were all normal occurrences.

If, after six years, their Soul Power still could not reach Level Fifteen but they had successfully obtained their First Soul Ring, they would still be considered to have graduated successfully.

At the very least, they would already be a First-Ring Soul Master.

That was also the mission of a junior academy.
