Enjoying the delicious food and feeling the softness, life was simply wonderful~ As for the cost of this meal, it wasn't much for Tang Miao. After all, he was the type of person who didn't have much money but wasn't short on small change.

Although Ai Tutu ordered a lot, she ate very little. Mu Nujiao ate even more delicately. Together, the two of them ate less than half of what Tang Miao ate.

After eating their fill, the two girls returned to school. As for Tang Miao, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have gone back to school. Besides collecting cultivation resources and entering the Three-Step Tower, Tang Miao usually didn't stay at school.

But today was different. Not only was he sending the girls back, but more importantly, he needed to enter the Three-Step Tower again. He aimed to raise his Ice Element strength to Intermediate Level Three. His Summoning Element could already be contracted, and coincidentally, the Kirin Jade had given him a hint that there was a Totem Sacred Beast, the White Tiger, on Tianshan. He could go and contract a White Tiger. At that time, his strength would undoubtedly soar!

Of course, since Tianshan was called a dangerous place, he naturally wouldn't go alone if he had to enter it. At that time, not to mention anything else, the Mystic Snake would definitely have to be brought along as a tool.

"You pervert, didn't you just say you don't usually go to school? Why are you coming back with us?"

Ai Tutu had already distanced herself from Tang Miao, not worried about being taken advantage of. The little demoness's personality had returned.

Mu Nujiao was also a bit curious why Tang Miao was coming back? Did he have feelings for her?

It wasn't that she was narcissistic; after all, her own conditions were perfect. Although she didn't have certain prominent features like Ai Tutu, overall, she was much better than Ai Tutu.

Seeing the two girls looking at him, waiting for an answer, Tang Miao shrugged and said, "I'm coming back, naturally, because I need to see Dean Xiao. You two don't think I'm following you back because of you, do you?"

Mu Nujiao and the other girl instantly lost the desire to talk to him further. After all, was this even human language?

Upon arriving at the academy, the two girls headed towards the female dormitory, while Tang Miao went towards Dean Xiao's office. Before entering the Three-Step Tower, he naturally needed to report. Moreover, this old man looked frail, but his strength was not to be underestimated.

Although he had a Mystic Snake to look after him, it was always good to have a few more influential figures behind him. Therefore, when he had free time, Tang Miao was very willing to maintain good relations with Dean Xiao and Old Man Bao.

Just as he was about to reach Dean Xiao's office, a handsome young man walked over from not far away.

The man had slightly permed, curly, shoulder-length hair, a standard prince's face from a fairy tale, and wore a simple pure white tracksuit. This "bitchy face" was almost as handsome as his own!

And beside him was the guy he had paralyzed with a blast of Lightning earlier for causing trouble.

"You must be Tang Miao, right?" The man walked over, looked at Tang Miao, and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhao Manyan, I major in the Light Element..."

Zhao Manyan's smile was warm and seemed very friendly. There was no hint of him trying to stand up for his "little brother."

"Zhao Manyan?"

Tang Miao mumbled, thinking, So it's this flashy pig. He smiled and said, "I thought you were here to stand up for this trash."

The person next to Zhao Manyan, who was still feeling sore all over, didn't offer any rebuttal upon hearing Tang Miao's mockery.

Zhao Manyan shook his head and said, "Heh, he was just ignorant. Besides, it would be foolish for me, a Light Element Mage, to challenge the number one person in the Lightning Academy."

Tang Miao didn't have any negative feelings towards Zhao Manyan, this "turtle shell mage." Moreover, he hadn't expected that a random bolt of lightning would strike someone from the Zhao family...

"Since you're not here for revenge, I'll be going now."

Zhao Manyan nodded with a smile. After Tang Miao left, he looked at the person beside him and said, "Even my old man wants to recruit him. If we can't recruit him, there's no need to offend him. He has ties to the Tang family of the Judgment Society. Are you a blind idiot, looking for a beating?"

The person who was beaten looked miserable but didn't dare to retort.

Although some influential families were arrogant, if they had connections to the Judgment Society, those who weren't top-tier families wouldn't dare to offend them easily. Even top-tier families wouldn't necessarily offend them, right? Unless there was someone from those families in the Judgment Society!

But the Zhao family wasn't like that; their family was in business.

Tang Miao didn't pay too much attention. After parting ways with Zhao Manyan and the others, he found Dean Xiao.

Dean Xiao gave Tang Miao a symbolic reprimand for fighting on campus earlier. Tang Miao, like a good boy, nodded and admitted his mistake.

In the end, the matter was dropped, and he was granted permission to enter the Three-Step Tower in advance.

The reason, naturally, was that Tang Miao was going for training. Dean Xiao felt it was a bit too early for Tang Miao to go for training, but seeing his determination, he couldn't say much.

However, Dean Xiao still reminded him that with his talent and strength, it would be best to keep a low profile when he went out. In fact, Pearl Academy didn't manage these things, but Tang Miao was different! For the World Academy Championship held once every four years, he was counting on Tang Miao to bring glory!

Tang Miao humbly accepted Dean Xiao's kind reminder.

After receiving some guidance from Dean Xiao, Tang Miao entered the Three-Step Tower. Who would have thought that the cultivation opportunity in the Three-Step Tower, which others yearned for, was like Tang Miao's backyard... he could come and go as he pleased.

The cultivation began, and time flew by... Especially with his increased cultivation speed, Tang Miao felt like these seven days were just a blink of an eye...

When the time was up, he still hadn't managed to break through to Intermediate Level Three of the Ice Element.

After leaving the tower, Tang Miao took a long leave of absence from Dean Xiao and left Pearl Academy directly. Of course, after coming out, Tang Miao also called Tang Yue. However, he didn't mention that he was going to Tianshan, only that he was going to find a quiet place to quietly understand his Lightning Domain.

Tang Yue didn't have any doubts about this. After all, Tang Miao had said before that when his Lightning Element reached Intermediate Level Three, his Lightning Domain seemed to have strengthened considerably and undergone many changes. He seemed to have never fully understood it.

After explaining things to Tang Yue, Tang Miao went to the Qingtian Hunter Agency to report. Old Man Bao had no objections. It was a good thing for Tang Miao to become stronger! As for Ling Ling, she was a bit miserable. After all, if Tang Miao didn't come for a few months, she would be in a tough spot, especially now that school had started!

But even the little loli's resentment didn't make Tang Miao give up on his trip to Tianshan. This could be considered his "well-intentioned lie"!

He really wanted to bring her along, as she was an encyclopedia. However, with his current strength? It really wasn't suitable... Tianshan was a forbidden area, with many Monarchs... And no one could be sure if there were even stronger existences. The Mystic Snake would struggle to protect just him, so protecting a little girl who hadn't awakened her magic would be even more difficult.

It was only when the Kirin told him that the Totem Sacred Beast, the White Tiger, was still alive on Tianshan and would protect him, otherwise, Tang Miao would never have chosen to go to Tianshan, even if he died.
