When speaking of Tang Hao, Old Jack's tone was exceptionally stern, his words filled with frustration at the man's habit of drinking and sleeping the days away.

There were still three full months until the official enrollment at Notting Academy. Since he hadn't yet enrolled and didn't know how to practice the breathing techniques for soul power, Li Luo could only head to the mountain behind the village to watch Tang San train.

Because Tang San was already Li Luo's contracted beast, his loyalty was at one hundred percent, so he had no qualms about practicing his Tang Sect secret techniques in front of Li Luo.

In fact, showing off his unique skills in front of his master, Li Luo, actually gave Tang San a strange sense of accomplishment.

One morning, as Tang San arrived at the back mountain to practice the Purple Demon Eye, he suddenly realized he wanted to share his secrets with his good brother and master, Li Luo.

"Brother Luo, let me teach you the techniques I'm currently practicing."

Tang San took the initiative, wanting to pass on his Tang Sect secrets to Li Luo.

"The technique I'm practicing is called the Purple Demon Eye. Besides that, there are moves like Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. These are methods I created myself, which I collectively call the Tang Sect Secrets."

Tang San considered Li Luo one of his own. Furthermore, there were no other members of the Tang Sect on the Douluo Continent; the 'Tang' of the Tang Sect was his own, and since Li Luo was his own person, it meant he was also part of the Tang Sect.

Passing the Tang Sect secrets to Li Luo did not violate the sect's rules against teaching outsiders.

"Brother Luo, I plan to establish a sect in the future called the Tang Sect. As long as you agree to join, I will pass the Tang Sect secrets on to you."

Although Tang San's loyalty to Li Luo was already maxed out, he still held onto his own principles. Thus, he founded the Tang Sect on the spot, ready to teach Li Luo everything as soon as he nodded.

Li Luo naturally understood Tang San's intentions, so without hesitation, he nodded and accepted the invitation.

"Alright, San, I agree to join the Tang Sect."

After all, the Mysterious Heaven Skill in Tang San's hands could lead one to the Title Douluo rank without pain, which was countless times better than the common breathing techniques on the Douluo Continent. Even the inherited techniques of large sects, or even those of the Martial Soul Hall, could not compare to the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Tang San was thrilled to hear Li Luo agree to join, believing that the revival of the Tang Sect was just around the corner.

"Brother Luo, from now on, we are both members of the Tang Sect. I will serve as the Sect Master, and you will be the Supreme Elder of the Tang Sect."

Out of loyalty to Li Luo, Tang San gave him the position of Supreme Elder, which was even higher than that of the Sect Master.

After Li Luo agreed to join, Tang San began to impart the Tang Sect secrets.

"Brother Luo, this is the Purple Demon Eye. It requires gathering the purple energy released by the sun every morning to practice. It has the effect of enhancing mental power, and once the Purple Demon Eye advances, it can even see through illusions."

"Brother Luo, this is the Mysterious Jade Hand. Once mastered, your arms can become as hard as mysterious iron, while appearing as smooth as jade, and you will be immune to all poisons."

"Brother Luo, this is a footwork technique called Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. When executed, your movements become like a ghost, making it impossible for others to track your position. It is a divine skill for self-preservation."

"Brother Luo, this is Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, a technique of absorption that allows you to manipulate objects through the air..."

"Brother Luo, what I am teaching you now is the core mental cultivation method of the Tang Sect, called the Mysterious Heaven Skill. This technique is gentle and possesses the ingenuity of harmonizing yin and yang, overcoming hardness with softness, and deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces."

For the time that followed, Tang San taught Li Luo everything he had learned without reservation.

Tang San was a genius in his past life, and teaching Li Luo came naturally to him. Under Tang San's personal guidance, Li Luo's progress in the Tang Sect secrets was rapid.

He was soon able to skillfully execute the Purple Demon Eye, Mysterious Jade Hand, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and he had also mastered the basics of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

With this high-level mental method, Li Luo's soul power, which had been stagnant for days, began to grow. In just three short months, his Soul Power Level had reached thirteen.

However, because there was no soul beast forest near Holy Soul Village, Tang San could not yet obtain his first soul ring. Entering the Soul Hunting Forest required a permit, and bringing Tang San to seek help from the Martial Soul Hall rashly might arouse Tang Hao's suspicions.

Therefore, Tang San had not yet obtained his first soul ring. But even without a ring, the soul power generated by his practice of the Mysterious Heaven Skill would be stored in his body and would not disappear; it would manifest the moment he obtained a ring, so there was no need to rush.

Three months passed quickly, and the day arrived for Tang San and Li Luo to head to Notting Academy for enrollment.

Old Jack took Tang San and Li Luo, boarded a passing ox cart heading toward Nuoding City, and bumped along the road toward the city.

On the cart, Tang San asked Li Luo about the arrangements for his soul ring.

"Brother Luo, when will you take me to get my first soul ring? And what type of soul ring should my Blue Silver King obtain?"

Li Luo had already told Tang San that his martial soul was not the trash Blue Silver Grass, but had evolved into the Blue Silver King.

Tang San, who had been watching Li Luo's yellow soul ring with envy, was full of anticipation and longing for the first ring his Blue Silver King would obtain.

"Once we arrive at Notting Academy and enroll, we will find the dean of the academy to help us get your first ring. It is said that the dean is a Soul Ancestor, so we can hunt for whatever ring you want then."

"And as a rare genius with Innate Full Soul Power, the dean won't refuse the chance to invest in you."

There were many reasons why Li Luo hadn't taken Tang San to get his first ring yet. His strength could be compensated for by Tang San's hidden weapons, but the most important thing was that they lacked a martial soul token and had no qualifications to enter the Soul Hunting Forest. The Star Dou Great Forest was too far and too dangerous, and since Li Luo and Tang San were still just children, they couldn't possibly go there alone.

To avoid Tang Hao's suspicion, seeking help from the Martial Soul Hall was out of the question, and Tang Hao would not personally help Tang San obtain a ring, as he still needed to hide his identity as the Clear Sky Douluo.

Therefore, seeking help from the academy dean was the best choice for safety.

As for other options, Li Luo had no intention of letting that trashy pig, the "Grandmaster" Yu Xiaogang—who was already fifty years old and only at the peak of a Soul Grand Master—get anywhere near Tang San.

His adorable Tang San must not be polluted or corrupted by that pig who only knew how to pass gas.

Holy Soul Village was not far from Nuoding City, and the three of them soon arrived at the city gates.

After entering the city and asking for directions, the three quickly found Notting Academy.

Old Jack walked in front, holding Tang San and Li Luo by the hands, and headed toward the academy gate.

"Stop! Who are you people, daring to trespass into Notting Academy!"

Just then, a discordant voice rang out. A man wearing a guard uniform stood in front of Old Jack, blocking their path.
