Tang San Wanted to Find Yun Feng a Wife!

As for all those conspiracy theories, Yun Feng did not really buy into them.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Jack. I'll take good care of Yun Feng. My father said that once I get to the academy, I should find work at a blacksmith shop. That way, Yun Feng's financial burden will be much lighter."

Jack smiled and praised him.

"San really is such a sensible child!"

"But I don't agree with you going. You're still so young. I think Tang Hao has gone mad. You're not even as tall as a forging hammer—what blacksmith shop would take an apprentice like you? Besides, blacksmithing is not a respected profession, and the pay would not be much anyway. You just need to study hard at the academy."

"I'll be enough for Feng'er. I can still work, so don't think too much about it, San!"

The more Jack spoke like that, the guiltier Tang San felt.

At least after coming to this world, Jack had truly been the only person who treated him well.

Even his own father, Tang Hao, had ignored him completely. If he had not possessed the experience of two lifetimes, he might already have died.

So when Tang San turned to look at Yun Feng, the foolish boy he had deceived, he felt rather uncomfortable.

Should I treat this little brother a little better?

But as soon as that thought arose, he remembered that Yun Feng seemed to be a useless talent with only rank-one Innate Soul Power.

In Tang San's view, there was no need for him to become a Spirit Master at all. He would be better off honestly living as an ordinary person, marrying, and having children.

Once a goal was set, it was easy for it to take root in one's heart.

Tang San made up his mind. Rather than teach this silly little brat Yun Feng how to cultivate, he might as well help him find a girl at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, so he would not be unable to find a wife in the future!

"Don't worry, Grandpa Jack. I'll definitely help Yun Feng. Even if he can't become a Spirit Master in the end, I'll still make sure he lives well. And Grandpa Jack, for what my father did yesterday, I apologize to you on his behalf."

Comparing the Tang San before him with the Tang Hao in his memories, Jack could not help sighing.

A dog of a father, yet a tiger of a son!

How could that man's conduct be worse than that of a six-year-old child?

At that moment, Jack truly could not understand it.

Yun Feng was dumbfounded as well.

Was this really Tang San?

Even at this early stage, something felt off!

Still, this was fine. Rather than scheme and plot against each other, it was better to honestly take advice and cultivate. That was the proper thing to do.

As long as Tang San did not do anything that harmed his interests, it did not matter what he became. It had nothing to do with Yun Feng!

"Good child, good child!"

"Still, if you achieve something at the academy, you should have that drunkard father of yours save up some money for you. Intermediate Soul Master Academy does not have work-study spots. It costs quite a bit to study there. A Spirit Master's subsidy alone is far from enough."

Because Tang San possessed Innate Full Soul Power, Old Jack already regarded him as a Spirit Master.

Tang San looked at Jack in confusion and asked,

"There's also an Intermediate Soul Master Academy? What's the difference between it and a Junior Soul Master Academy? They're both academies, so shouldn't they both teach knowledge about Spirit Masters?"

Old Jack patiently explained.

"Of course they're different. Junior Soul Master Academy teaches basic things, along with cultural courses. It only accepts children whose Martial Souls have just awakened, and the program lasts six years. Once you reach twelve, if you do not have much promise, you'll just become an ordinary Spirit Master."

"But if your potential is good, most people choose to continue their studies at an Intermediate Soul Master Academy until they are eighteen. What Intermediate Soul Master Academy teaches is more profound, but the difficulty of study also increases greatly. If you cannot meet the academy's requirements, you will not be able to graduate successfully. That is different from Junior Soul Master Academy."

After thinking for a while, Tang San said directly,

"If there are junior and intermediate academies, then there must be advanced ones as well?"

Old Jack nodded, a trace of envy flashing through his eyes.

"You needn't even think about Advanced Soul Master Academy. Not just anyone can get in. All the Advanced Soul Master Academies combined enroll fewer than a hundred students each year. They are cradles of success. Any student who graduates from one will be fought over by both the state and Spirit Hall, and they will be directly granted noble titles."

"Nobles? The conditions are that good?" Tang San asked in surprise.

Old Jack nodded firmly.

"Of course. Spirit Masters are the noblest profession, and advanced Spirit Masters even more so. They are all talents. So for us commoners, becoming an advanced Spirit Master is clearly the best shortcut to reaching the top. But among ordinary commoners, how many can possess such good Martial Souls? Even if they do, without the support of great families, it would be difficult for them to graduate from an Advanced Soul Master Academy."

"Graduation exams are one's own responsibility. Why would anyone need help from others?" Tang San did not quite understand.

Old Jack sighed.

"That is the gap—the gap between the poor and the rich, between commoners and nobles. The graduation requirement for Junior Soul Master Academy is simple. As long as your Martial Soul reaches level ten and you obtain a Spirit Ring under the guidance of an academy teacher, successfully advancing to the title of Soul Scholar, that is enough. It is not difficult. Any child with Martial Soul Power upon awakening can do it. They say that these ten levels, from Soul Scholar to Spirit Master, are the easiest Soul Power levels to raise."

"But Intermediate Soul Master Academy is different. To graduate from there, your Martial Soul must reach level twenty, and you must obtain a second Spirit Ring and earn the title of Soul Grandmaster. From level ten to level twenty is a point that many Spirit Masters can never reach in their entire lives."

"Moreover, after reaching level twenty, if you want to obtain a Spirit Ring, you must rely on your own strength to hunt a Spirit Beast. That is extremely dangerous. If you come from a noble family and have family warriors accompanying you, the danger is naturally much lower. But Spirit Masters of commoner birth like us can only rely on ourselves."

"The graduation requirements for Advanced Soul Master Academy are even harsher. Only by breaking through the level-thirty bottleneck, obtaining a third Spirit Ring, and advancing from the title of Soul Grandmaster to the title of Soul Elder can you graduate. They say level thirty is a threshold. Cross it, and you can be called a powerful Spirit Master—a true noble. Fail to cross it, and things become difficult. Also, there seem to be some restrictions on obtaining a Spirit Ring at level thirty. You should learn the specifics at the academy. In any case, it seems that fewer than one-third of the students at those Advanced Soul Master Academies can truly graduate."

A shadow flashed through Yun Feng's eyes as he looked at Tang San.

An idea immediately formed in his heart, and he asked directly,

"Then, Grandpa, what about the Spirit Hall you mentioned before?"

Old Jack froze for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Good question, Feng'er. That is why I say Spirit Hall is the hope of commoners. Because once you join Spirit Hall, you will no longer be alone. You can rely on Spirit Hall to obtain Spirit Rings. Now you understand Spirit Hall's contribution, right?"
