Wu Zhangkong's Curiosity

Looking at Lin Ye's expression of having seen through the ways of the world, Tang Li fell silent.

In this world bound by bloodlines, without the support of a massive family influence, how difficult was it to climb to the top?

This Uncle Lin of his also had no small background behind him, but his special circumstances prevented him from receiving much assistance, yet he was still incomparable to ordinary people, and even so, he had still encountered this kind of situation.

A parachuted Spirit Ascension Platform General Manager was enough to make Lin Ye's position in the East China Sea Spirit Pagoda become so awkward...

After touring the Spirit Pagoda, Lin Ye handed a metal card representing his identity to Tang Li, telling him that he could come directly to his office to cultivate.

Although Lin Ye was squeezed out by others, his status was right there, and all the facilities in his office were extremely complete, raising the specifications a tier higher than the office in Aolai City.

Tang Li took the card, and Lin Ye exhorted him a few more times before driving Tang Li back to the school.

The night was already deep at the moment, but the boys' dormitory was not locked; such little tricks were simply too elementary for soul masters, and the academy couldn't be bothered to deal with them.

When Tang Li returned to the dormitory, the dormitory door had already been repaired, the large hole in the corridor had also been patched up by someone, and his two roommates were both meditating and cultivating at the moment.

As for Xie Xie, Tang Li guessed that he was most likely still healing his injuries, waiting to fight him tomorrow.

Regarding this, Tang Li also felt quite helpless; wasn't this asking for a beating on purpose?

Closing the dormitory door quietly, Tang Li climbed onto his own bed, used the communicator to send a message to Tang Wulin to confirm that she had also arrived at the dormitory, and only then began to meditate and cultivate.

In the early morning, Yun Xiao and Zhou Changxi had both woken up in the dormitory, and when they saw that Tang Li was still sitting on the bed cultivating, curiosity inevitably arose in their hearts.

The matter of meditation was incomparably boring, and at their age they simply could not persist for a whole night, usually cultivating until the middle of the night before falling asleep.

Someone like Tang Li sitting like that for a whole night was truly rare.

No wonder his cultivation is so high; he's actually this hardworking in private.

Yun Xiao sighed from the bottom of his heart; goodness knows how shocked he had been yesterday when he saw that Tang Li had three Millennium Soul Rings.

"A nine-year-old Soul Elder cannot be achieved just by working hard; even if people like you and me meditate day and night, our cultivation couldn't possibly be as high as his, not to mention having a powerful physical body and spiritual power to bear the pressure of three Millennium Soul Rings."

After a night of relief, Zhou Changxi had recovered quite a bit, and right now he felt fear for Tang Li from the bottom of his heart.

He did not agree with Yun Xiao's words; some things could not be achieved just through hard work. Yun Xiao didn't mind and asked:

"Then should we call him to go eat breakfast together? After all, the opening ceremony is also this morning."

"Call him, you go call him; I don't dare speak to him, but if we don't call him, I'm afraid he'll confiscate my martial soul. That feeling is just too terrifying!"

Zhou Changxi instantly recalled that feeling yesterday of plunging into an ice cellar, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"I'm already awake."

At this moment, Tang Li opened his eyes, his pitch-black pupils calm as water. He jumped off the bed, put on his shoes, finished washing up swiftly, and went to the cafeteria to find Tang Wulin.

The bright and warm sunlight of early morning fell upon him, shining on Tang Li in a cozy way and making him feel exceptionally comfortable.

Based on Tang Li's understanding of Tang Wulin, at this time of day she would most likely have already finished exercising and would be sweeping away hunger in the cafeteria.

Sure enough, once Tang Li arrived at the cafeteria, a group of people were surrounding Tang Wulin, and exclamations kept spreading out:

"Whoa! This junior schoolmate can really eat!"

"More than just being able to eat! This has already broken the cafeteria record, and judging by her stance, she's going to raise the record a bit higher."

"Hiss—this kind of appetite is truly terrifying!"

"Junior sister, is it still enough? If not, senior sister will go get you some more!"

"..."

Tang Wulin was frantically wolfing down her food right in the middle of this crowd of people, and from time to time she even greeted the surrounding senior brothers and sisters, "Thank you, senior sister, sorry to trouble you!"

This left Tang Li, standing off to the side, completely speechless, muttering inwardly that Tang Wulin, this bottomless pit, was simply outrageous.

However, with such a large crowd he couldn't squeeze in anyway, so he went by himself to get a breakfast portion from the Grade-A Window, finished eating, and then went to the Academic Affairs Office to pay the retroactive fees for repairing the wall and the dormitory door yesterday.

It came to thirty thousand Federation Coins in total, and even a big spender like Tang Li thought it was way too extortionate.

Could this wooden door be made of gold? Or were there some precious soul tools stuffed inside the wall?

After getting that done, Tang Li walked toward the symbolic huge plaza of Eastsea Academy, by the way sending Tang Wulin a message to remind her not to overeat and forget about the opening ceremony.

Although Tang Li felt that this thing was of little use, the final item of the opening ceremony was class assignment, with the head teachers of each class coming to lead their people away.

If he were to be late on the first day, his days afterwards would probably not be easy.

Upon receiving Tang Wulin's reply, Tang Li found a patch of tree shade, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes to concentrate, and began to refine the things Buddha Tang had left inside his body.

First was the Mysterious Heaven Skill; the strength of Tang Li's meridians was already sufficient, and he planned to impact the first of the Miraculous Meridians after a little while longer.

Then there was the first form of the Thirteen Golden Halberds left behind by the previous Sea God, Boundless Turbulent Storm; this thing required the Sea God divine position to fully unleash the might of the Divine Realm's number one crowd control.

Calling it a Sea God divine skill, this form actually involved two laws: the lingering years of the distant sea and the boundless, infinite space.

Relying on Buddha Tang's leftover traces, Tang Li could use this move three times, after which he would have to comprehend it himself. However, Tang Li had already gained a certain level of insight from it, and perhaps once his soul power rose by a few more levels, he could use his own improved version of the "Boundless Turbulent Storm".

Just as he was sitting in the tree shade cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill and comprehending the Boundless Turbulent Storm, a man with a temperament as cold and proud as frost, dressed in all white with a cold and aloof expression, walked up to his side.

The newcomer was precisely the number one handsome guy and number one powerhouse of Eastsea Academy, the disciple of Shrek's Sea God Pavilion Elder Zhu Shi, the white-clad blue-sword Ice and Snow Cold Wu Zhangkong.

Looking at the soul power aura emanating from Tang Li's body, Wu Zhangkong's expression turned stern. He could sense that the soul power on Tang Li's body was upright and peaceful, extremely similar to the Mysterious Heaven Skill he cultivated himself, yet also somewhat different, seeming even more profound and enduring.

Strange... Wu Zhangkong felt puzzled in his heart. The Mysterious Heaven Skill he cultivated was a secret transmission of the Tang Sect; could this student before his eyes also be a person of the Tang Sect?

What made him feel even more astonished was that this young man before his eyes had shockingly already attained the cultivation of a Soul Elder. To possess such cultivation at this age, even the cadets of Shrek probably couldn't compare!

Tang Li, who was immersed in his own world, could perceive that someone was by his side, but since the newcomer bore no hostility, he didn't pay it much mind.

At this moment, the opening ceremony also began on schedule. Tang Li opened his eyes, stood up unconcernedly, brushed the dust off his body, greeted the teacher who had been watching him for quite a while, and walked away.

Wu Zhangkong could sense that Tang Li's gaze had not been placed on him. The feeling of being ignored made Wu Zhangkong's interest deepen even further.

So what if he was a bit arrogant? He used to be arrogant himself; geniuses were all like this! Perfectly reasonable.
