The next morning.
Most of Nuoding Academy's teachers and students were still asleep when Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had already left the academy gates, heading toward the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City.
Yu Xiaogang chatted idly with Tang San, then suddenly remarked with some emotion, "Come to think of it, the promotion of Soul Ring Inner Cores has indeed made things much more convenient. For example, after purchasing a Soul Ring Inner Core, Soul Masters can choose to absorb it on the spot under the supervision of Spirit Hall staff, then directly register their martial soul information."
"Once you truly become a one-ring Soul Master, you can register with Spirit Hall. From then on, you'll receive a certain subsidy every month, and you won't need to be a Work-Study Student anymore..."
Tang San listened and nodded inwardly in agreement. After all, Spirit Hall's only use to him now was the subsidy. Besides, the money was actually issued by the empire, while Spirit Hall merely distributed it on its behalf. He had nothing to be grateful for.
"Oh, right, Little San. This is for you."
As they walked, Tang San had his head lowered, lost in thought. He vaguely noticed Yu Xiaogang handing him something and assumed that, just as in his previous life, Yu Xiaogang was about to give him the Storage Soul Tool Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges. He instinctively reached out to take it.
However, after receiving the item Yu Xiaogang handed him and feeling it over, the unfamiliar texture made him abruptly stop.
"What is this?"
Tang San quickly saw what he was holding. He widened his eyes at the small bracelet in his hand rather than the familiar belt, Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, and could not help asking aloud.
"Ahem, this is a Storage Soul Tool."
