Preparation Complete

Early morning.

Su Yun carried a bundle of fresh meat and vegetables to Tang San's house.

As soon as he stepped through the door, Tang San looked eager, impatiently pulling Su Yun into the house.

"Yun, come quickly!"

If it weren't for the fact that Tang San was only six years old, Su Yun would have really wanted to slap him and say:

The hell, do you know this is a crime?

Casually placing the vegetable basket on the table, Su Yun followed Tang San into the blacksmith shop.

Looking at the items laid out on the forging table, Su Yun blinked. Even though he knew what they were, he still spoke in a voice filled with pleasant surprise.

"Brother San, you finished your hidden weapon? It looks so impressive!"

Emotional value must be provided in full.

[Friendship points from Tang San +15.]

Sure enough, Tang San was very receptive to Su Yun's expression, lifting his head with a hint of pride.

"The Silent Sleeve Arrow is more than just impressive. Come, I'll take you to see its power."

With that, he beckoned Su Yun to prepare to head up the mountain.

But he was stopped by Su Yun.

"If you want to test it, you have to eat first! Nothing is more important than your health. You didn't eat properly before and were malnourished; now you need to nourish yourself even more. Look, I'm already taller than you!"

Hearing Su Yun's words, the previously excited Tang San looked embarrassed, but his heart felt warm.

[Friendship points from Tang San +16.]

"Alright, we'll eat first, then go test the hidden weapon. Yun, you sit down, I'll go cook."

As he spoke, Tang San took the vegetables into the kitchen. Su Yun had no intention of helping; he just watched from behind, chatting with him.

As for bringing breakfast? That had already become a thing of the past!

As an older brother, how could he be embarrassed to let his younger sister always take care of him?

Therefore, the day after their identities were revealed, Su Yun brought fresh vegetables directly to Tang San's house, making him cook.

Tang San seemed very happy about this, believing that as an older brother, he should naturally take care of his younger sister. He voluntarily donned the shackles of responsibility and found it sweet, feeling that the two of them were more like siblings this way.

Watching Su Yun bring vegetables every day, the friendship points that popped up were actually ten points higher than when he used to bring food.

Soon, Tang San had prepared a table full of dishes.

The two sat face to face, eating while asking each other about their cultivation progress.

Tang San asked Su Yun if there were any parts of the Mysterious Heaven Skill he didn't understand.

Su Yun shared more of his experience with Shave.

Yes. Su Yun had taught Shave to Tang San.

Although the Mysterious Heaven Skill was useless to him, Su Yun still owed him a favor, so he simply gave Shave to Tang San.

The two continued to ask and answer in this way.

Tang San felt incredibly warm; this was what a home felt like.

Unlike Tang Hao, who would finish a bowl of porridge in three gulps and then slip away—truly worse than a stranger.

After they were full and had cleaned up the dishes, the two headed toward the hillside.

They used the tree that Su Yun kicked daily to begin testing the Silent Sleeve Arrow.

During this process, Su Yun inevitably contributed some more emotional value.

"I made two in total, one for each of us."

"Good."

Su Yun didn't refuse and agreed directly; after all, it was a kind gesture from little Tang San.

Besides, he had put in the effort for this thing; if not for his help, Tang San wouldn't have been able to forge two pieces of Refined Iron in this month.

Such behavior of not treating himself as an outsider naturally made Tang San even happier.

"Let me help you put it on."

[Friendship value from Tang San +17.]

Looking at the system panel notification, Su Yun was very satisfied. See, even when he gives gifts, he still has to reward me with another wave of friendship value.

After equipping the hidden weapons, the two did not rush to cultivate, but instead discussed another matter.

Hunting for a Soul Ring.

On the day they reconciled, Su Yun had proposed that they go to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt for souls in half a month.

Although Tang San also wanted to obtain a Soul Ring quickly, out of caution, he decided to prepare more thoroughly.

After all, the two of them knew nothing about the Soul Beast Forest, or even what kind of Soul Beast they needed to hunt for the Soul Ring they desired.

This was indeed something Su Yun hadn't considered; after all, his own Soul Rings were customized by the system, and he could just fabricate a plot where he picked up a bargain when the time came, completely forgetting about Tang San.

With no other choice, Su Yun could only agree.

During this process, Su Yun even spent 1,000 friendship points to exchange for a copy of the Douluo Continent Soul Beast Collection from the system, which recorded all the Soul Beasts of the Douluo Continent, along with their abilities and weaknesses.

The book was as thick as a small hill, and when he took it out, it scared Tang San so much his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

What shocked Tang San even more was that Su Yun spent only one week memorizing the entire thing.

Yes, he memorized it all.

As his Superman Physique reached its limit, Su Yun clearly felt his mind becoming clearer, as if something was about to awaken.

Su Yun knew this was the second ability of the Superman Physique: Super Brain.

Although it hadn't fully awakened yet and he didn't have photographic memory, it had already provided Su Yun with the capital to build a memory palace.

This was the reason Su Yun was able to memorize the entire Douluo Continent Soul Beast Collection.

While Tang San marveled once again at Su Yun's talent, he felt even more strongly that Su Yun's family background was extraordinary, especially since he possessed a magical Soul Tool capable of storing items.

"The Silent Sleeve Arrow has been forged, and I've finished reading the Soul Beast Collection. Let's go hunt for souls tomorrow."

This time, the two were fully prepared, and Tang San nodded without hesitation.

"Alright! We'll set off tomorrow. We'll go to the Soul Beast Forest to help you hunt for a Soul Beast first, then head to the Frozen Forest to hunt for mine."

Hearing this, Su Yun looked at Tang San.

"Are you sure?"

"Mm."

A light of anticipation burst forth in Tang San's eyes.

"Yun, you were right. Grass belongs to the wood element and favors water and earth. Ice is a mutation of water; besides being easier to absorb, it is also more suitable for Blue Silver Grass. If I were to absorb fire, although it would grant the Blue Silver Grass fire resistance, absorbing an opposing attribute would be a huge challenge for both me and the Blue Silver Grass. Since that's the case, it's better to follow the natural order. Although fire counters ice, ice turns into water, which in turn can counter fire. However..."

Speaking of this, the expression on Tang San's face became conflicted.

"It will be hard work for you to accompany me to the Frozen Forest, Yun."

Clearly, Su Yun had explained to Tang San the difference between wild Soul Beast forests and state-run, captive Soul Beast forests.

Hearing this, Su Yun waved his hand with a domineering air.

"What's this talk about hard work? We are family, after all."

Seeing this, Tang San couldn't help but smile.

"That's right, we are family."

"Mm! We're setting off tomorrow! You'd better hurry up today! Master Shave, otherwise how will you protect me when we enter the Soul Beast Forest?"

Hearing Su Yun's request, Tang San nodded.

"Understood!"

He had already secretly steeled his heart; he must master it today.

Actually, given Tang San's aptitude and the foundation of his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, learning Shave should have been very fast.

Unfortunately, his physique didn't meet the requirements. The use of Shave relies purely on physical strength; although Tang San could cheat using his Mysterious Heaven Skill, he was still lacking a little.
