Student Quota

Su Ming threw the fish down and asked, "By the way, did your dad agree to let you go to the academy?"

Hearing Su Ming ask about the academy, Tang San looked at Su Ming on the cloud with a wary expression and said.

"My dad has agreed, and I have Innate Full Soul Power, so I won't give you the Work-Study Student spot in our village. Sorry,"

Su Ming, sitting on his Martial Soul, looked at Tang San below speechlessly, regretting having given him a fish just now. He had originally wanted to get along peacefully, but instead!!

"Don't worry, I didn't want it in the first place. I already have a way to get the Work-Study Student spot, so I won't need yours."

"I originally thought that if Uncle Tang Hao didn't let you go, I would help persuade him. But you mistake my kindness for malice, hmph."

After speaking, Su Ming rode his Martial Soul and flew away without looking back.

Seeing Su Ming fly away, Tang San knew he had misunderstood him, but he didn't care. He continued chopping firewood, feeling more energized as he thought about Tang Hao's embrace.

On the way back home, Su Ming became angrier the more he thought about it: "This Tang San is simply ungrateful. I originally wanted to get along well, minding our own business."

"Su Ming thought, 'If he were to become a disciple of that good-for-nothing Yu Xiao Gang...'" He also remembered that he had obtained so many immortal herbs from Dugu Bo but hadn't helped Dugu Bo solve the problem of his Martial Soul's poison.

"And Tailong, the Four Great Vassal Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, not a single benefit. And in his past life, he stole cultivation methods. What a scoundrel. No wonder so many people cursed him in his past life. He deserved it!"

The village wasn't large, and after flying for a short while, he saw his own doorstep, and naturally, the village chief's doorstep.

Before he even reached his doorstep, Su Ming called out, "Village Chief Grandpa, Village Chief Grandpa."

Hearing the shout, Old Jack hurried out of the house. As soon as he came out, he saw Su Ming jump down from a cloud, holding two fish in his hand.

"Su Ming, you're back. Was that cloud you were riding your Martial Soul?"

Su Ming, who had just landed, quickly responded upon hearing Old Jack's reply.

"Yes, Village Chief Grandpa, I just figured it out," Su Ming said, lifting the two fish in his hand.

"Also, I just caught these two fish with my Martial Soul. Grandpa Jack, we're having stewed fish tonight."

Su Ming handed the two fish to Old Jack and watched him catch them.

"By the way, Grandpa Jack, didn't everyone in our village say that a Soul Sage appeared in our ancestors? Did that Soul Sage leave anything behind?"

"Yes, yes, yes. You and Tang San are the only ones in our village in the past few decades who have awakened with Innate Soul Power."

"Wait for me, I'll get it for you right away."

Old Jack carried the two fish to the kitchen first, then hurried to the bedroom. After searching for a while, he quickly took out a book with obviously yellowed pages and handed it to Su Ming.

"Here, this is the Meditation Method left by that Soul Sage back then. It's been over a hundred years, and this is a handwritten copy, about forty years old. That Soul Sage left only this book when he returned."

"He didn't reproduce in our village. Our village only got a reputation, and it has been stored by successive village chiefs until now."

"However, thanks to this Soul Sage, as long as we have strength, we won't lack food and clothing."

"You look at it first, I'll go make fish for you. We're in for a treat tonight."

Su Ming took the Meditation Method, returned to his own home, sat on the bed, and opened the Meditation Method.

The beginning of the book was a common low-level Meditation Method on the continent, followed by the Soul Sage's annotations. It was quite convenient for Soul Masters who had just awakened their Soul Power. Compared to the common low-level Meditation Method, it could increase it by about 10%.

After understanding the general idea and knowing the cultivation method for his Martial Soul, Su Ming began his first attempt at meditation cultivation and soon entered a state of cultivation.

He didn't know how long he had been cultivating when a shout woke him up.

He opened his eyes and looked out the window. The sky had already entered dusk.

"Su Ming, dinner is ready."

"Coming, Grandpa Jack."

Su Ming got up, stretched his muscles, and walked out of the house. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Old Jack outside.

Su Ming walked forward and supported Old Jack.

"Grandpa Jack, let's go. I can already smell the aroma."

The two walked into the house and saw a large basin of cooked fish on the table, so they began to eat.

After dinner, Su Ming washed the dishes, said goodbye to Grandpa Jack, and prepared to go home to continue cultivating, striving to reach level 10 as soon as possible to hunt for his first Soul Ring.

"Su Ming, I'll go to other villages tomorrow morning to get that Work-Study Student spot for you. Also, when you're done with that Meditation Method, remember to give it to Tang San."

Su Ming thought for a moment, "Okay, Grandpa Jack, I've noted it down. I'll give it to him tomorrow morning."

Back home, Su Ming washed up briefly, sat cross-legged on the bed, and meditated.

After cultivating all night, Su Ming got up early, washed up briefly, and then took the Meditation Method left by the Soul Sage to Tang San's house.

Su Ming summoned his Martial Soul. After yesterday's practice, his Martial Soul was no longer shaky. He sat on it and slowly flew towards Tang San's house.

As soon as he arrived at Tang San's doorstep, he saw Tang San running over from the back mountain. After seeing Tang San enter the house, Su Ming also slowly landed.

He put away his Martial Soul, took the Meditation Method, and knocked on the door.

Just as Tang San, who was about to cook for Tang Hao, heard the knock, he opened the door and saw Su Ming standing at the entrance.

Seeing Tang San open the door, Su Ming stood at the entrance for a long time before speaking.

"What, aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"

Seeing the book in Su Ming's hand, Tang San thought for a moment, then moved aside. After Su Ming entered, Tang San closed the door again and ran to the stove, afraid the porridge would burn.

Su Ming took the opportunity to look around, found a stool, and sat down, watching Tang San cook.

"I say, Tang San, Uncle Hao is too lazy. He's still not up, and you, a child, have to cook."

At this moment, Tang Hao, who had just come out of the bedroom, glanced at Su Ming and walked to the dining table to sit down.

Under Tang Hao's gaze, Su Ming instantly got goosebumps.

Tang San's meal was also ready. Tang Hao, already seated at the dining table, had started eating. Su Ming quickly handed the book to Tang San, afraid that the drunk Tang Hao might hit him with a hammer.

"Tang San, this is a Meditation Method left by a Soul Sage from our village's ancestors. Take a look when you have time. We'll be going to Nuoding City Primary Academy in three months. I won't disturb your breakfast; I'm leaving now."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he walked out of Tang San's house without looking back, summoned his Martial Soul, and quickly flew away.

Tang San saw Su Ming off and was quite envious when he saw him summon his Martial Soul and fly away.

Su Ming, who had originally planned to fly to the back mountain to catch some wild game, remembered that Grandpa Jack had gone to another village to secure this Work-Study Student spot. He returned home to prepare a meal and wait.

As soon as the meal was ready, Grandpa Jack returned, and Su Ming hurried out to meet him.

"How was it, Grandpa Jack? Did you get the spot?"

"I got it, I got it."

"Then let's eat quickly, Grandpa Jack. You must be tired from your journey."

After Su Ming helped Grandpa Jack sit down, he also sat down. The two ate and chatted.

"By the way, Grandpa Jack, I've already given the book to Tang San."

"That's good. When Tang San has memorized it, bring the book back and keep it for those in the village who are lucky enough to awaken Soul Power."
