Withdrawal from School

"Xiao Wu, I've decided that when we return to the academy this time, I'll withdraw. I've already finished all the books in the academy. Staying there will affect my cultivation and make it easier for us to be exposed. Are you willing to withdraw with me?"

Jerry spoke after giving it careful thought.

"Brother, I'm willing to withdraw!"

Xiao Wu was actually a Soul Beast who had undergone Humanoid Transformation. As long as she came into contact with humans, she could cultivate, so it did not matter where she cultivated. Returning to Holy Soul Village after withdrawing would be good as well, since it would be less likely for her to be exposed.

Seeing Xiao Wu answer Jerry's question without a moment's hesitation, Jerry was deeply moved by her unwavering trust.

"Then it's settled. Once we get to the academy, we'll withdraw."

When they arrived at the academy, Jerry's withdrawal was handled easily. After all, someone with Innate Half-Level Soul Power was not taken seriously by the academy.

Xiao Wu's withdrawal, however, was not so simple.

When she enrolled, her records had listed her as having Innate Full Soul Power. The academy wanted to cultivate an outstanding graduate, so naturally, it was unwilling to let such a talented student leave so easily.

In the end, they made up an excuse, saying that a powerful Soul King had taken a liking to Xiao Wu, accepted her as a disciple, and would keep her by his side for cultivation.

Upon hearing that it was a Soul King, the academy staff did not dare obstruct them further. The dean was only a Soul Ancestor in his forties—what right did he have to stop a Soul King from accepting a disciple? They then processed Xiao Wu's withdrawal.

As they were leaving the academy, they ran into Master. They greeted him and were about to leave directly, but Master stopped them.

Master had learned that Jerry had come to withdraw from school and thought Jerry had finally come to his senses and was preparing to give up cultivation.

He then said happily:

"Your choice is correct. With Innate Half-Level Soul Power, the path of cultivation is simply too difficult."

"It requires far too many resources, yet the achievements are still not high."

"I've been stuck at level 29 Soul Power for my entire life without any further growth. That goes double for ordinary commoners. Giving up early and living as an ordinary person is quite good."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. We'll be leaving now."

Jerry was getting a little impatient. He directly interrupted Yu Xiaogang before he could continue, unwilling to pay any more attention to Master Yu Xiaogang.

People like Yu Xiaogang were annoying. Under the pretense of doing what was best for you, they tried to persuade you to do things you disliked.

Yet Yu Xiaogang was clearly unwilling to give up and continued:

"I heard Xiao Wu has Innate Full Soul Power. If her Soul Power reaches above level 20 by the age of twelve, I can recommend her to Shrek Academy. That is a place for cultivating geniuses."

"Also, tell Xiao Wu not to rush into taking a master. A Soul King is not enough to teach a student with Innate Full Soul Power."

After saying that, he shook his head, sighed, and left.

As for Jerry withdrawing, withdrawing was one thing. But taking Xiao Wu, who possessed Innate Full Soul Power, with him made Yu Xiaogang and the others at the academy uncomfortable.

Yu Xiaogang felt that Jerry was too selfish. It was fine if his own talent was poor and he gave up cultivation, but he was even taking someone with Innate Full Soul Power away with him.

Even a Titled Douluo would want to accept someone with Innate Full Soul Power as a disciple, yet they had set their sights on a Soul King. They truly had no eye for talent.

The people at the academy feared a Soul King, but Yu Xiaogang did not.

In truth, since Yu Xiaogang had failed to take Tang San as a disciple, he had been thinking of taking Xiao Wu as one. Unfortunately, before he could act, she was already withdrawing.

When Yu Xiaogang heard the news, he was so furious that he nearly spat blood.

That was why he had come out to intercept Jerry and Xiao Wu. However, since they were unfamiliar with each other, neither of them liked what he said. Though unwilling in his heart, he could only leave silently.

If only he had been given a little more time. He definitely would have been able to take Xiao Wu as his disciple.

Master Yu Xiaogang's pretentious words made Jerry want to mock him. A Soul King was unworthy, but a level 29 Soul Grandmaster like him was worthy?

He aimed too high while lacking ability. What right did a level 29 Soul Grandmaster have to look down on a Soul King above level 50?

Because his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, could fart?

After hearing this, Xiao Wu asked, "Brother, is the Shrek Academy Master mentioned really that good?"

"Shrek Academy is nothing more than a scam academy. I'll tell you about it later. Let's head back early—Grandpa Jack is still at home."

After saying that, Jerry urged Xiao Wu to hurry.

"Alright, Brother. Grandpa Jack prepared so, so many Carrots for me too. Let's hurry back."

As she spoke, she grabbed Jerry and left. At that moment, Xiao Wu's eyes held nothing but Carrots.

When they returned home, they told Grandpa Jack about withdrawing from school.

Grandpa Jack also felt that the children had grown up and had their own ideas. Besides, Jerry had always been sensible since childhood, so he accepted their decision to withdraw.

He only reminded Jerry and Xiao Wu to cultivate diligently even at home.

"Alright, Grandpa Jack. We'll cultivate diligently at home too."

Jerry knew the future of this world, so he chose to lie low and wait until he was strong enough before going out to make waves. After all, he had no golden finger. If he went out recklessly now, grass would probably be growing a meter high on his grave before long.

By now, Jerry's words carried some weight in the village. After all, he had begun cultivating, so people no longer regarded him as an ordinary child.

Therefore, Jerry planned to use modern experience to improve Holy Soul Village.

But when he considered that this world had nobles, and that the village had no powerful Soul Masters to protect it, he knew that once the village developed, the nobles would surely set their sights on it. When that happened, the village would be finished.

There was simply no solution. Damn nobles!

Thinking about it now, the peaceful society of his previous life had been so wonderful!

Since they could not develop openly, they could only develop in secret.

Most people in the village were farmers, and many families still could not even get enough to eat, much like Tang San's family had once been.

There were mountains and water nearby, but the villagers did not know how to hunt. They only knew how to farm, because people had tried hunting in the mountains before. There were many Ten-Year Soul Beasts there, and ordinary people were no match for those Soul Beasts.

The nobles did not care about the Soul Beasts in the mountains. Spirit Hall came regularly to capture them, but only captured those over a hundred years old and ignored the ten-year ones. Thus, the villagers did not dare enter the mountains.

Since hunting was not feasible for now, they could only focus on planting.

The villagers did not know how to use fertilizer, so their farming methods were limited. Thinking of this, Jerry found Grandpa Jack and told him about using Blue Silver Grass as fertilizer. He said he had read in an academy book that it could increase crop yields.

Grandpa Jack was thrilled when he heard this. As a farmer, what could make him happier than increasing crop yields?

He sighed that going to school really was good, since one learned so much. Then he gathered the villagers for a meeting, and Jerry personally explained the uses of fertilizer and how to make it.

The villagers were all simple and honest. When Jerry said he had read it in a book, not a single one questioned him. They simply followed his method and began making fertilizer.
