Tang San had cultivated the Tang Sect Secret Arts since childhood, so he understood better than anyone how difficult it was to store all sorts of things.
Without a concealed storage item, countless Hidden Weapons and medicine bottles would be impossible to use at will.
This Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges was practically a treasure tailor-made for Tang Sect disciples!
But...
This thing wouldn't just be useful to him. It would surely be a great help to the sect master, too.
But what about Qin Yun? He'd actually given him such a precious treasure so casually.
As the old saying went, you didn't know how good something was until you compared it with something else!
Just look at sect master Qin Yun, then look at his own drunken old father, and at that frog-in-the-well, arrogant Yu Xiaogang.
As a son, and as a feudal warrior, there were some things Tang San really couldn't say outright.
But the facts were plain as day.
Sometimes, the gap between people was truly greater than the gap between a person and a dog!
This kindness left him speechless for a long while. He simply fastened the belt around his waist and firmly engraved the gesture in his heart.
"I've got nothing to say. I'll go through fire and water for you, Brother Yun!"
[God King Tang's favorability +10, 60/100!]
An unexpected delight!
"As expected of God King Tang's signature divine gear. I never imagined it would have an effect like this.
That means I can draw two more rewards from God King Tang!"
There were too many people around, and Luo Sanpao had farted earlier, too. Although Gangzi had absorbed ninety-nine percent of the damage, the smell still wasn't pleasant.
Drawing a reward here would be showing rather little respect for my luck.
After calming the excited Tang San, Qin Yun took him to the academy's Academic Affairs Office to complete his enrollment.
Inside, Director Su, a shrewd-looking man, examined their documents.
He first noticed Tang San's status as a Work-Study Student. His expression remained indifferent, and after casually registering him, he assigned him to Dorm Seven.
But when he saw Qin Yun's documents, his eyes lit up, and his attitude instantly became several times more enthusiastic.
With Gold Soul Coins paving the way, he immediately picked up his pen and assigned Qin Yun to Dorm One, the academy's best accommodation.
But...
Notting Academy had only one dormitory building, so it was easy to find. Both the academy's students and its teachers lived there.
Just as Old Jack had said, very few people could become Soul Masters, especially in a remote city like Nuoding.
The academy didn't have many students or teachers, so one dormitory building was more than enough.
There were only seven student dormitories in total.
Since the students at a Junior Soul Master Academy were all quite young, they were housed in large dormitories by grade to make management easier.
Each grade at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy had only around forty students.
The bottom three floors of the dormitory building housed the seven large student dorms, each overseen by a teacher.
Dorm Seven was a special case among the seven student dorms. It had the worst conditions and was reserved specifically for Work-Study Students.
After all, the academy wasn't a charity. Work-Study Students had their tuition waived, but they couldn't expect the same treatment as regular students.
Dorm Seven was also the only dorm with students of mixed ages. All Work-Study Students lived there, regardless of grade.
As a self-funded student, Qin Yun's Dorm One was clearly much better equipped.
Dorm One was on the fifth floor of the dormitory building, with the teachers' dorms on the floor above.
The building's style leaned toward Western fantasy, with pointed-roof stone houses and simple Soul Beast patterns carved into the walls.
Inside were individual wooden beds, each with a desk and a simple wardrobe. The floor was paved with nonslip stone tiles, and the carved-glass windows let in plenty of light.
Compared with Dorm Seven, it was quite comfortable.
But Qin Yun looked around and still furrowed his brow.
Dorm One might have decent conditions, but it was still shared accommodation. All the self-funded students of the same grade and gender lived there together.
Too many people, too much noise.
Whether he was cultivating the Tang Sect's martial arts, using the system, or summoning the Golden Dragon Spear, someone would easily notice. It was hardly a place where he could cultivate in peace.
"Looks like I can't stay at the academy!"
Qin Yun made up his mind at once.
Once he'd settled Tang San in, he would go look for a suitable place in Nuoding City.
With his means, whether he rented or bought outright, he would have his own private cultivation grounds.
Only by staying away from the academy's clamor and certain people's watchful eyes could he improve his strength in peace.
Since he had already made up his mind, Qin Yun couldn't be bothered to make the bed or unpack his things. He turned and headed for Dorm Seven to check on Tang San.
He had barely reached Dorm Seven when a ruckus inside reached his ears, before he could even push the door open.
He opened the door and saw Tang San facing off against a dark-skinned boy with a sturdy build in the middle of the room.
Qin Yun naturally knew Tang San. As for the boy, he was probably Wang Sheng.
Unlike self-funded students with money and connections, Work-Study Students didn't have an easy time at the academy. To avoid being bullied, they naturally had to band together.
Before Tang San arrived, Wang Sheng had been the leader chosen by all the Work-Study Students!
But...
"His Martial Soul is War Tiger, and his Innate Soul Power is rank four. Among ordinary people, that's considered a genius.
"Unfortunately, if he could get guidance from a renowned teacher or support from a major power, he might become a Soul Ancestor in this lifetime, or even a Soul King.
"But without that, if he just shuts himself away and figures things out alone, the best he can hope for is to become another Su Yuntao!"
Qin Yun didn't particularly like or dislike a minor character like Wang Sheng.
However, just as Qin Yun was about to remind Tang San to leave with him, that not-quite-normal notification sounded in his mind again.
[Son of Destiny Huo Yuhao discovered!]
[Quest issued: God of Emotions!]
[Quest Details: Nurture Huo Yuhao until he becomes a god. For every major cultivation breakthrough, the host will receive one chance to draw a reward from the corresponding character!]
Qin Yun: "..."
Good grief!
Why had Huo Yuhao suddenly shown up?!
"System, tell me: what is Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul, and what is the Martial Soul of the person standing right in front of me?"
[I don't understand. Is there something wrong with the host's eyes? Isn't it obviously the Spirit Eye Martial Soul?
"Out of consideration for the host, the system will offer a friendly reminder: Don't assume Huo Yuhao's talent is weak just because he inherited the Spirit Eye Martial Soul from his mother's side and didn't inherit the White Tiger Martial Soul from his father's side.
"As long as he joins the Body Sect and undergoes a Second Awakening using the Body Sect's secret method, his destiny will surely allow him to achieve Gold-Grade Awakening.
"From then on, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!
"To run into Huo Yuhao while he's still weak and down on his luck... even this system has to admire the host's luck!"]
Qin Yun: "..."
Forget it. I can't be bothered to argue with you. Let the readers judge for themselves.
Because of his age, Wang Sheng (Huo Yuhao) was nearly two heads taller than Tang San. For a boy his age, he was already quite muscular.
He walked up to Tang San and looked down at him as he spoke.
"New Work-Study Student?"
A kind smile appeared on Tang San's face. "Hello. I'm a Work-Study Student from Holy Soul Village."
"I'm Wang Sheng. My Martial Soul is War Tiger, and I'm going to be a Battle Soul Master!
"I'm the boss around here, too. What's your name, kid? What's your Martial Soul?"
