To be able to eat the food Jiang Chen cooked, letting that old fellow take a little advantage was worth it.
Su Yuntao's Sorrow
After eating and drinking his fill, Old Jack let out a satisfied belch, patted his somewhat rounded belly, and left contentedly.
During the meal just now, Tang Hao had finally relented, allowing Tang San to go to the Notting City Junior Spirit Master Academy to study.
This finally lifted a heavy weight off his heart; he liked the boy Tang San very much, as he had been obedient and sensible since he was small.
Therefore, he still hoped Tang San could study at the Notting City Academy to have a future; otherwise, what kind of prospects could he have following a decadent father like Tang Hao?
As for Jiang Chen, letting him go to the Spirit Hall to study would be fine. After all, the Spirit Hall had shown such great sincerity, and Jiang Chen would surely receive the best training there.
Holy Soul Village only had one quota for a work-study student, so giving it to Tang San was perfect.
In this way, their village would have two spirit masters in the future, and one of them would even be a future Titled Douluo.
Old Jack's calculations were very sharp; he seemed to have already seen Holy Soul Village moving toward glory under his leadership, and his name as the greatest village chief would be remembered by the descendants of Holy Soul Village for generations to come...
After finishing the meal, Jiang Chen was just about to leave when he was called back by Tang Hao.
"Little Chen, I saw you running with that stone roller this morning. Are you trying to train your body?"
Jiang Chen nodded. "Yes, I heard that the stronger the body, the easier it will be to absorb spirit rings later."
Tang Hao nodded in agreement. "That's right, I've also heard that having good physical fitness provides an advantage when absorbing spirit rings. How about this: you can come and learn blacksmithing from me in the future. Blacksmithing is the most physically demanding, and the training effect is no worse than your running. It'll also be good for you to have some company with Little San."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. That's right, blacksmithing also seemed like a pretty good method for physical training.
Besides, he might even get to witness Tang Hao's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, though he didn't have a hammer spirit, so learning this technique wouldn't be of much use.
Most importantly, working at the forge with Tang San could bring them closer together.
Although he couldn't say he liked Tang San very much in his past life, his cautious nature still made him feel that relying on Tang San to become a god was the safest path.
"Alright, Uncle." Jiang Chen readily agreed.
Since that was the case, he would do his running training in the mornings and learn blacksmithing at Tang Hao's Blacksmith Shop in the afternoons.
Jiang Chen decided on the spot that he would spend the next three months this way; it should be very fulfilling.
Through several interactions, Tang San's impression of Jiang Chen had changed significantly; he felt that Jiang Chen was actually a pretty good person, especially since the food he cooked was super delicious.
As long as Jiang Chen didn't have one of his outbursts, Tang San felt he was a decent friend.
At this moment, inside the Spirit Hall, Su Yuntao was holding a report and burst excitedly into Master Ma Xiunuo's office.
"Who is it? Coming in without even knocking," Ma Xiunuo's dissatisfied voice rang out as he looked up.
"So it's you, kid. You never knock when you come in. A spirit master's cultivation requires focus and concentration; it's better to have a steady temperament. Otherwise, you'll end up like me, unable to break through the threshold of level thirty no matter what."
Facing Ma Xiunuo's reprimand, Su Yuntao chuckled, not minding it at all, and held up the report in his hand with an excited expression.
"Master Ma Xiunuo, I awakened a peerless genius at Holy Soul Village yesterday. I suspect his spirit might be the legendary god-level spirit. Look, I've already written the report; please help me send it to the Pope Palace right away."
