Tang San, Tang Wulin, and Huo Yuhao followed Village Chief Jack to Nuoding Academy.

This time, because Tang San had strength in numbers, the gate guard did not take the initiative to stir up trouble. After glancing at Huo Yuhao's forged letter of recommendation, he let the three of them enroll without incident.

Once Village Chief Jack saw that the children had safely enrolled, he returned to the village with peace of mind.

Tang San looked around as though searching for someone.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin asked softly, "Brother Yuhao, do you know what Father is looking for?"

Huo Yuhao smiled. "He is probably looking for his enlightenment teacher—the Master."

Tang Wulin curled his lip. "Doesn't he already have the two of us helping him improve his cultivation? Why go out of his way to find his old teacher again?"

Tang San immediately explained, "I call this respecting history."

Huo Yuhao chuckled. "I think Wulin is right. Having the two of us is enough for you, so don't repeat the same mistakes. If you want a better relationship with Wulin, you should listen to his opinions more."

Tang San thought for a moment and raised an eyebrow. "Wulin, then tell me. What should I do next?"

After resting his chin in thought for a moment, Tang Wulin answered, "Let's go straight to the dormitory. I remember Mother should be arriving soon too. I'm still waiting to witness the story between you and Mother with my own eyes, Father."

Tang San's mouth twitched. So you came here just to watch the drama and see me get beaten up?

Thus, Tang Wulin and Huo Yuhao got their wish and witnessed the famous scene firsthand in the Seventh Dormitory.

A cute young girl walked in carrying a pink bundle.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing."

Tang San scratched his head. "Hello, my name is Tang San. I'm the head of the Seventh Dormitory. According to the rules, you have to fight me. Whoever wins will be the boss of the Seventh Dormitory."

"The boss? That sounds fun."

Xiao Wu looked curious. "But first, you have to tell me what your martial soul is. Mine is a rabbit. What about yours?"

Tang San smiled awkwardly. "Then don't you happen to counter me perfectly? My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."

"Then let's go." Xiao Wu motioned for Tang Wulin to hold her bundle for the moment and prepared to fight Tang San.

After taking the bundle, Tang Wulin watched with his own eyes as his mother used her soft skill to defeat his father. He could not help finding it a little funny.

Huo Yuhao reminded Tang San, "We should head to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a Soul Ring for you."

Suppressing the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Tang Wulin also said to Xiao Wu, "Sister Xiao Wu, do you want to come with us?"

Xiao Wu hesitated. "I don't need to hunt a Soul Ring for now."

Huo Yuhao explained, "What Wulin means is that staying at the academy is so boring. He wants you to come out and have fun with us."

Wang Sheng interjected, "Why are you only asking Sister Xiao Wu to go out and have fun? The rest of us want to join in too."

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes, and an idea suddenly came to him.

"Because Sister Xiao Wu is the boss of the Seventh Dormitory..."

Huo Yuhao immediately caught on and smoothly continued Tang Wulin's words.

"And Tang San is the head of the Seventh Dormitory. Of everyone here, only Sister Xiao Wu can beat him, so naturally only Sister Xiao Wu can keep an eye on Tang San. Besides, the Star Dou Great Forest is filled with soul beasts. Without enough strength, you might meet with disaster."

Wang Sheng said helplessly, "All right, then. What you say does make some sense."

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, do you want to come with me?"

Xiao Wu rotated her wrist. "All right. Since you call me Sister Xiao Wu, I'll protect you for the time being."

The Star Dou Great Forest.

After Huo Yuhao showed his forged token to the Spirit Hall guards, he successfully led Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Wulin into the Star Dou Great Forest.

The four arrived at the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest. With Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin's help, Tang San successfully killed a Datura Snake and began absorbing its yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring.

Because of this, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin also recovered the strength of one ring.

Tang Wulin leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear and whispered:

"Brother Yuhao, I still can't reveal my Soul Ring right now, can I?"

Huo Yuhao activated Mental Sharing and transmitted his voice to Tang Wulin. "That's right. This world cannot restrict the spiritual power of the two of us, so our current spiritual power is genuine divine consciousness."

Because his spiritual power was at its peak, Tang Wulin's Soul Ring age naturally recovered to its strongest state. That was to say, the first Soul Ring of his Blue Silver Grass martial soul was a red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Tang Wulin responded through Mental Sharing, "Then why is Father's spiritual power restricted?"

Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. "Because he wants to respect history, he probably imposed restrictions on himself before he even came here."

Huo Yuhao patted Tang Wulin's shoulder. "It's fine. Once I recover the strength of two rings, I'll be able to use the Simulation Soul Skill. By then, you can reveal your Soul Ring."

Tang Wulin pursed his lips. "Damn it. If I can't show my strength, then openly, I won't be a match for you, Brother Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. "I'll tell outsiders that our Wulin is stronger than me. Will that do?"

Tang Wulin curled his lip. "But when the time comes, you'll still have to protect me. I won't be able to do anything."

Huo Yuhao rubbed Tang Wulin's head. "Don't you still know combat techniques? Besides, the physical qualities bestowed upon you by the Golden Dragon King are nothing to scoff at. So you're capable of protecting me now too."

At once, Tang Wulin perked up, his eyes shining brightly as he became full of energy.

Xiao Wu looked strangely at Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin and could not help asking, "The relationship between you two... seems a little too close, doesn't it?"

Huo Yuhao smiled. "Because he's my younger brother. Isn't it only natural to treat your younger brother well?"

Tang Wulin echoed, "Exactly. Isn't it only natural to be close to your older brother?"

Xiao Wu nodded slightly. "So that's how it is. You brothers really have a good relationship."

Tang San had just finished absorbing his Soul Ring when he heard Xiao Wu's words, so he stepped forward and said:

"Xiao Wu, would you be willing to be my younger sister? I will do everything in my power to protect you."

Xiao Wu hesitated. "What if one day, many people wanted to kill me, but they were opponents you couldn't defeat? What would you do?"

Tang San's face was resolute. "Then they'll have to step over my corpse first!"

"Brother..."

Xiao Wu was ultimately moved by Tang San's sincerity and agreed to let Tang San become her older brother. Just as before, Tang San taught Xiao Wu how to use sleeve arrows.

Seeing that it was getting late, Tang San reminded them, "Then let's return to Nuoding Academy."

"Nuoding Academy isn't suitable for your cultivation. I think it would be better for us to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest and train together."

Huo Yuhao spoke up and made this suggestion.
