Purple Demon Eye Turned Him Red-Eyed

"Dad, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself."

The day had come to leave for Nuoding Primary Soul Master Academy, and Tang San bid Tang Hao farewell with considerable concern.

Tang Hao still coughed from time to time, with no sign that his injuries had healed.

Tang Hao fell silent for a moment before saying, "Get along well with Lin Qi. Don't make an enemy of him."

After thinking it over repeatedly, Tang Hao still did not take Tang San away.

For one thing, he did not want Tang San to rely on him.

For another, the powerful expert from that night had not come looking for trouble again. Cultivating alongside a genius like Lin Qi could better stir Tang San's fighting spirit and keep him from growing complacent.

There was one more point. It was impossible to win Lin Qi over for his own use, but if Little San could become good friends with him, that would not be bad either. He would have an extra source of support in the future.

"I understand, Dad."

Tang San's tone was somewhat cold. For some reason, he simply felt an instinctive dislike for Lin Qi, who also possessed Innate Full Soul Power.

After stepping outside, Tang San immediately spotted Lin Qi, who was far more handsome than him, standing beside Village Chief Jack.

Tang San took a deep breath and said to Village Chief Jack,

"Grandfather Jack, let's go."

Even though Tang Hao had told him to build a good relationship with Lin Qi, the moment he saw Lin Qi's face, he did not want to speak to him.

Lin Qi glanced at the house behind Tang San. His keen hearing allowed him to hear Tang Hao's suppressed coughing with perfect clarity.

Haozi was seriously injured. That really put him in a good mood.

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Qi's lips, and his mood improved considerably.

The food had been better these past few days, and he had also trained combat techniques and even Self-Created Soul Skills with Leng Qing. His whole bearing had improved greatly.

"Little Qi, it's time to go," Village Chief Jack said to Lin Qi.

"Alright."

Along the way, Village Chief Jack said, "Our village has one work-study student spot at Nuoding Academy. The other student will have to pay tuition, so let Little San have this spot."

It was not that Village Chief Jack favored Tang San more. He simply felt that making Lin Qi a work-study student would be too much of an injustice to him.

He had not even spent all three Gold Soul Coins Lin Qi had given him. It was more than enough to cover Lin Qi's tuition.

As a self-funded student, Little Qi would not have to endure people looking down on him at the academy, and he would have more time to study.

Lin Qi waved his hand. He had never planned on becoming a work-study student.

Over the past few days, he had picked up several more Silver Soul Coins and over a dozen Copper Soul Coins, and that had been in remote Holy Spirit Village.

Once he reached Nuoding City, he did not even dare imagine how many Soul Coins he could pick up just by going outside.

Even if he did nothing at all, he could live extremely well just by picking up money.

"Thank you, Grandfather Village Chief," Tang San said blandly.

If Lin Qi had not come along, he might have felt somewhat grateful to Jack. But since Lin Qi was also going to Nuoding Academy, he was obviously not going there to visit.

Making me work at the academy as a work-study student while paying Lin Qi's tuition separately... How biased.

In Tang San's eyes, Lin Qi was merely an orphan, not even as well-off as him. He definitely could not afford tuition, so Village Chief Jack had to be paying for him.

With Tang San's petty nature, the comparison only made him dislike Lin Qi even more. Even Village Chief Jack became much colder in his eyes.

Is it just because my Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass? Because I don't have as much potential as Lin Qi? You'll definitely regret this someday.

Just as Tang San was thinking about how he had to surpass Lin Qi in cultivation, he saw Lin Qi walking toward a spot on the road.

"My luck really is good. There's actually a Gold Soul Coin here."

They had just left the mountain path and reached the broad main road when a Gold Soul Coin in the grass reflected the sunlight and caught Lin Qi's eye.

"What?"

Tang San looked over and saw Lin Qi pick up a Gold Soul Coin.

His luck was far too good. Since arriving on Douluo Continent, Tang San had never even seen a Gold Soul Coin. The few Copper Soul Coins Tang Hao earned from blacksmithing were quickly spent on alcohol.

Village Chief Jack was equally dumbfounded.

"Little Qi, your luck really is incredible."

Picking up five Gold Soul Coins in the village had already seemed unbelievable to Village Chief Jack. He had not expected Lin Qi to find money again while traveling.

"My luck is fairly good."

After wiping the Soul Coin clean and putting it away, Lin Qi answered calmly.

What did it mean to have a Body of Fortune? This was merely basic stuff. In the future, if it was not a Gold Soul Coin, Lin Qi would not even bother bending down.

Just dumb luck.

Tang San did not say it aloud, but his expression revealed his thoughts, and Lin Qi, with his keen senses, saw it all.

"Oh? So he's unconvinced."

Lin Qi decided to give the newly arrived Tang God King a little shock.

The good fortune of the Body of Fortune was passive, that was true. But as long as he had some not-too-outrageous wish in mind, while it might not be instant wish fulfillment, it would most likely come true.

Especially for something as minor as picking up Soul Coins, it was hardly worth mentioning.

Sure enough, before they had walked even half a li, another golden glimmer entered Lin Qi's sight at just the right moment, while Village Chief Jack and Tang San noticed nothing.

"Oh my, I actually found two more Gold Soul Coins."

"What? That's impossible."

Tang San shouted this time. How could anyone pick up Gold Soul Coins again and again? Were people in this world really so careless that they tossed Gold Soul Coins around for fun every day?

If they were Copper Soul Coins, that would be one thing, but these were Gold Soul Coins. Even if they had fallen by the roadside, someone else should have picked them up long ago.

"Nothing is impossible. As long as your luck is good enough, anything is possible."

Lin Qi patted Tang San on the shoulder, looking as though his little brother was making a fuss over nothing.

Damn it!

Tang San gritted his teeth inwardly as a wisp of Purple Qi rose into his eyes.

It's just picking up money. I refuse to believe anyone can be better at it than me with my Purple Demon Eye.

Provoked by Lin Qi, Tang San kept using the Purple Demon Eye to scan both sides of the road, refusing to overlook any corner where Gold Soul Coins might be hidden.

Village Chief Jack no longer knew what to say about Lin Qi's good fortune. He had even been planning to pay Lin Qi's tuition.

But if Lin Qi's luck remained this good, then forget the tuition for a Primary Soul Master Academy—even the expensive tuition of an Advanced Soul Master Academy could probably be earned by picking up money.

"Little San, do you want to pick up money too?"

Jack could not see Tang San's Purple Demon Eye, but he could see him constantly glancing toward both sides of the road.

Tang San said nothing and merely kept using his Peeping Demon Eye.

Seeing this, Jack shook his head with an amused smile.

If Gold Soul Coins were that easy to find, would not everyone on Douluo Continent be rich?

Lin Qi strolled leisurely along, treating Tang San's behavior as an entertaining show.

The Purple Demon Eye was already quite a cheat, but compared to the Body of Fortune, it was utterly insignificant.

Come to think of it, the Purple Demon Eye could reveal Tang San's background, yet it had not triggered any system reward. It could only mean it was too inferior, not even comparable to the passive ability of the Body of Fortune.

In the end, Tang San walked the entire way until his Purple Demon Eye had turned his eyes bloodshot, yet he did not find even a single Copper Soul Coin.

"Little San, why not just watch where you're going?"

Seeing Tang San obsess over finding money and step into small pits several times, Jack could not help but advise him.

"Found one! I found one!"

Just as Village Chief Jack finished speaking, Tang San shot toward a spot beside the road.

What a Vicious Dog Pounces.
