Peaceful Academy Life

Because Jerry had meddled ahead of time, Tang San had not taken Yu Xiaogang as his master. Naturally, Yu Xiaogang had not taken Tang San to hunt for a Soul Ring either.

Tang San obtained his First Soul Ring under the guidance of an academy teacher.

The Soul Ring came from a 230-year-old Sword Bamboo rather than the original four-hundred-year-old Mandala Snake. The Soul Skill it gave Tang San allowed his leaves to carry sword qi, which could pierce armor before being fired outward.

The Sword Bamboo also gave Blue Silver Grass great toughness, and its leaves became somewhat bamboo-leaf-shaped.

This was considered a useless skill to others because it was impossible to aim accurately. But to Tang San, it was practically a divine skill. Combined with his hidden weapon techniques, it was an endless arsenal of hidden weapons! Delighted, Tang San named his First Soul Skill Sword Leaf!

Tang San had movement techniques, so he was impossible to hit. Now he also had an endless supply of hidden weapons, constantly throwing them at you from nearby. What a headache.

Watching Tang San's Soul Skill, Jerry suddenly felt that he had outsmarted himself.

If Master had guided him, Tang San's First Soul Skill would have been Entanglement, and his Second Soul Skill would have been Parasitism. Both were basically useless Soul Skills, and Tang San would have needed to forge his hidden weapons himself. But after Blue Silver Grass gained Sword Bamboo, it seemed to have opened up a new line of thought for Tang San. In the future, he could cultivate Blue Silver Grass in the direction of hidden weapons!

It could also work with his own cultivation. As long as Blue Silver Grass had Soul Power, it could grow leaves. He could throw them out without needing to retrieve them, making them far more convenient than the hidden weapons he forged himself! If he added different properties to Blue Silver Grass in the future, it would become the perfect hidden weapon!

He no longer needed to forge hidden weapons himself, saving time and giving him more time to cultivate.

As for Jerry, aside from attending classes, he spent his time reading in the academy library.

After all, Jerry knew that knowledge was the ladder of human progress!

Because of his transmigration, his Spiritual Power had been steadily increasing ever since awakening his Martial Soul. Jerry's Spiritual Power was now stronger than that of many people, and the most obvious benefit of powerful Spiritual Power was that learning became easier!

Nuoding Academy was only a Junior Soul Master Academy, after all, so its collection was limited.

Jerry read every book in the academy but failed to find a way to change his cultivation. That was expected, though he did fill in many gaps in his basic knowledge.

On the other hand, he had memorized all kinds of Soul Beast knowledge inside out. Even Tang San could not compare to him in that regard, since Tang San was still learning the writing system of this continent!

While others were still learning to read, he had already finished every book in the academy. If the other students found out, they would probably cough up blood from anger.

After a year, Jerry's Soul Power had finally reached level one.

He had gained half a level in one year. For the first three months, he had no Meditation Method and could only rely on his Martial Soul to absorb Soul Power on its own. After that, he received the Beginner Meditation Method issued by the academy. At this rate, it would take another eighteen years to reach level ten. God, after eighteen years, I won't even be able to see Tang San's shadow!

Thinking of this, Jerry felt heavy-hearted. But he would not give up. The Junior Soul Master Academy had little information, but weren't there higher-level academies? Spirit Hall had even more materials.

When he had the chance, he would definitely read through all of them.

This year, Xiao Wu had clung to Jerry every day for free carrots, and their relationship had become extremely good. At least, that was what Xiao Wu believed.

Xiao Wu could tell that Jerry was in a bad mood and said, "Little Jerry, don't worry. From now on, with Sister Xiao Wu looking after you, no one will be able to bully you."

She sounded so righteous that Jerry was a little touched. If she did not demand carrots from him every day and squeeze him dry, he might have believed her!

A Hundred Thousand Year old rabbit—damn it, who told her to be so cute? Since she was cute, she got to call the shots. Jerry was still quite touched.

This year, Xiao Wu became the academy boss, so no one had bullied Jerry. Otherwise, as a commoner with Innate Half-Level Soul Power, he would have long been bullied to death by those who liked stirring up trouble!

Jerry was sturdy, so they would not fight him, but gossip alone could drive someone mad.

Innate Half-Level Soul Power had become everyone's favorite topic whenever they chatted or bragged.

"Xiao Wu, vacation is coming up. Are you going home?" Jerry asked.

"Please call me Sister Xiao Wu! I'm not going home. I don't have a home anymore!" Xiao Wu said sadly.

"Then come home with me! My grandpa's Martial Soul is also a carrot. It doesn't have Soul Power, but it tastes about the same," Jerry said.

"Really? That's wonderful! I'll go back with you." Xiao Wu was overjoyed. She could eat carrots again! Jerry could summon at most three carrots a day before running out of Soul Power, and that was nowhere near enough to fill her up!

Before long, Tang San, Jerry, and Xiao Wu returned to Holy Soul Village together. Tang San found no one at home, and Old Jack gave him a letter. After reading it, Tang San returned home in low spirits.

"What happened to Tang San?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Tang San's father went away and only left him a letter. Tang San didn't get to see his father, so he's feeling down," Jerry said.

"Poor Tang San," Xiao Wu said.

"You think that's pitiful? Then aren't I even more pitiful?"

"I never met my parents either. After I was born, they took the carrots grown at home to Nuoding City to sell them, and they never came back."

"I heard from the villagers that Grandpa Jack searched for a day and a night. He asked everywhere in Nuoding City too, but he couldn't find them. Later, he collapsed on the road and was brought back by the villagers."

"After that, Grandpa never mentioned my parents again. He only focused on raising me."

"But I saw him a few times, crying while planting carrots in the fields. So when I awakened Soul Power, Grandpa was especially happy. I'll never forget the smile he had that day. That was also when Grandpa finally emerged from his grief!"

"So I have to cultivate hard. Even if it's difficult, I don't want Grandpa to be sad," Jerry said quietly.

"Tang San's father only went away. Besides, he has Innate Full Soul Power, while I only have Innate Half-Level Soul Power. Even Spirit Hall didn't want me. Don't you think I'm more pitiful?"

"But you still have your grandpa!"

"Look at how old Grandpa is. He's not even a Soul Master! Yet he still has to work himself to the bone every day just to make a living!"

"Then don't let him work so hard."

"I told him that, but he wouldn't listen. He said Soul Master cultivation would require a lot of money in the future, and that he also needed to save money for me to marry a wife!"

"Jerry, you're just a little brat, and you're already thinking about marrying a wife?"

"That's for later, later! Right now, I'm only thinking about cultivation!"

"Cultivating every day is so boring. Grandpa Jack was very happy to see me."

"How could he not be? When he saw that I brought you back, he took you for my future wife. Hahaha, little wife!"

"Jerry, you're the little wife!" As she said that, Xiao Wu became a little shy, and her little face suddenly turned bright red.

"Hahaha!"

"Stop laughing! Jerry, you're going too far!"

"I'll laugh if I want to laugh. Little wife, little wife!"

"You..."

At that, the two of them started fooling around!
