Jerry had never named his Soul Skills. Seeing how everyone else had such impressive Soul Skill names, he decided to name his own!

The effect of his First Soul Skill was that eating it accelerated cultivation and restored Soul Power; if it was not eaten, it could only restore Soul Power. To hide its ability to accelerate cultivation, he named it the Recovery Carrot. Simple and easy to understand!

His Second Soul Skill could restore vitality, so he named it the Life Carrot!

His Third Soul Skill instantly restored the vitality, Soul Power, and stamina of a Soul Master at the same rank. It was practically a second life! Jerry named it the Instant Recovery Carrot!

The names were ordinary, and they concealed most of his Soul Skills' effects. Unlike others, people could not roughly guess the effects of his Soul Skills just by hearing their names! Jerry decided that he would pretend to be a Food-type Soul Master from now on. Everyone already thought so anyway, and unless it was a critical moment, he would never reveal that his Soul Skills could be cast directly on others!

With three Soul Skills, Jerry could finally be considered a true Support Soul Master! Actually, he did not want to be a Support Soul Master either. Who did not have dreams of battle? But there was no helping it. Even with modern knowledge and perspective, Jerry could not figure out how to make carrots offensive! He could not exactly evolve the carrots until they were big enough to use as clubs, could he? Smashing people with carrots... better not think about it!

Support it was, then! Thinking of how Oscar could grant his sausages flight and replication abilities, Jerry looked at his own carrots. They should be able to do that too, right? He could research it in the future!

Jerry and Xiao Wu were both twelve years old now, and cultivation in the village was becoming slower and slower! For the past few years, Jerry had constantly felt uneasy. This year, after Tang San graduated and returned to the village, that unease had become increasingly obvious!

Then it occurred to him that Xiao Wu and he had attended the academy for a year. Tang Hao had definitely noticed Xiao Wu. In the Original Work, Xiao Wu had been close to Tang San, so Tang Hao had not acted. But now, Xiao Wu had nothing to do with Tang San. Tang Hao might be watching from somewhere, waiting until Tang San could absorb her before making a move against Xiao Wu! That thought made Jerry increasingly anxious! Just thinking that Tang Hao might be watching Xiao Wu somewhere gave Jerry goosebumps all over! He had to find a way to shake Tang Hao off! He had originally thought it was amazing that he had snatched Xiao Wu away first, but now it looked like someone else was raising a pig! The pig did not even know and was happily enjoying every day!

Sigh! Thinking of this, Jerry felt deeply miserable. Other transmigrators had systems, all kinds of God-tier Martial Souls, all kinds of cultivation methods, Ten Thousand Years First Soul Rings within easy reach. They could cultivate casually and beat Tang Hao, beat Spirit Hall, and beat everyone else! Or they were born into wealthy, powerful families! Yet he had nothing. Even now, he was still cultivating with the Beginner Meditation Method. He did not understand any Eight Extraordinary Meridians or Twelve Standard Meridians, nor could he create cultivation methods. Thinking of the things he knew—"The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao," "To practice this art, one must first castrate oneself," "The Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three"—they were completely useless! He could not fool Tang San into giving him anything either, and he would only have a chance to obtain the Advanced Meditation Method by joining a major faction! He had even snatched Xiao Wu away first, only to end up being watched!

What a hellish start! The village had already restricted cultivation, so he had to leave. He needed to think carefully about where to go next.

Heaven Dou City and Heaven Dou Royal Academy were out of the question. Dugu Bo's Granddaughter was there, and Dugu Bo often went there too. It would be bad if he discovered Xiao Wu. Blue Tyrant Academy was worth considering. They could study there before Shrek Academy arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy! By the time the people from Shrek Academy arrived, he would probably have learned nearly everything the academy had to teach! It would be even better if he could get hold of the Advanced Meditation Method!

Shrek Academy was not worth considering. Tang Hao had been following Tang San all along, so it was far too dangerous!

Spirit Hall would have been worth considering if Xiao Wu were not involved, but after being with Xiao Wu for so many years, abandoning her was impossible!

After thinking it over and over, none of the academies he knew seemed suitable. His method of cultivation meant he was destined not to remain in an academy. The Star Dou Great Forest was his paradise! With Xiao Wu there, what was there to fear!

After figuring it out, he told Xiao Wu that Tang San's father was a Titled Douluo and might already be watching her! Before Tang Hao made a move, they needed to hurry to the Star Dou Great Forest to cultivate. Xiao Wu was both surprised and delighted, and she immediately agreed. After all, she had not seen Da Ming and Er Ming for years, and she missed them terribly!

The two packed their luggage and told Grandpa Jack that they were going out to cultivate. Since cultivation had already been restricted in the village, Grandpa Jack quickly agreed! He reminded them to be careful on the road! Then the two set off for the Star Dou Great Forest!
