Once he left, Li Daotian estimated that Tang Hao would not return to Holy Spirit Village for at least a year and a half.
It was also possible that Tang Hao would never return to Holy Spirit Village.
Based on what he knew of Tang Hao, once Tang Hao failed to find A Yin, he would go mad and search frantically for her everywhere.
The entire Douluo Continent would be drawn into a vortex, but that had nothing to do with him.
In any case, he could now cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill in peace and speed up his breakthrough to Level 20.
As for Tang San, without Tang Hao supporting and guiding him from behind, it would probably be difficult for him to make any major progress. He might remain trapped in Holy Spirit Village forever and become a blacksmith.
At the thought of Tang San being a blacksmith for the rest of his life, Li Daotian felt rather amused. Tang San, having lost his Protagonist Qi, truly had a somewhat miserable fate.
But then again, the Qi Tang San had lost might fall upon him instead. In the future, he would definitely do better than Tang San.
Li Daotian made his plans and continued cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Daotian had been diligently cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill in his new house. His cultivation had improved again, and his Soul Power was steadily growing.
That was good news for him.
That afternoon, Li Daotian was practicing Combat Techniques in the courtyard outside his door.
A small figure appeared nearby. It was Tang San. He was somewhat dirty and looked this way as though he had something to say, but he still seemed hesitant.
Li Daotian quickly noticed Tang San.
From the look of him, he seemed to have something to ask of him.
Yet Li Daotian pretended not to see him and had no intention of saying anything.
After quite a while, Tang San seemed to gather his courage and walked over.
Stopping several steps away from Li Daotian, Tang San looked at him and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Tian, I have something to ask you for help with."
Li Daotian stopped cultivating, looked at him, and said, "Tang San, just tell me what it is."
After thinking for a moment, Tang San said, "Brother Tian, I want to study at a Spirit Master Academy. Can you help me?"
There was anticipation in Tang San's eyes. He seemed to very much want to study at a Spirit Master Academy.
"This..."
Li Daotian had not expected Tang San to come looking for him because he wanted to attend a Spirit Master Academy.
To be honest, he really did have the ability to help Tang San now. With just a word from Yu Xiaogang, Tang San could enter Notting College to study.
But why should he help Tang San?
Even Tang San's idiot father did not care whether Tang San lived or died, so why should he meddle in this matter?
"Tang San, you know that to study at a Spirit Master Academy, you need certification from Spirit Hall. I can't help you with that," Li Daotian said as he looked at him.
Hearing this, Tang San could not help lowering his head in disappointment.
Of course he knew that. But the last time Grandmaster Su Yuntao had come to test Soul Power, he had not met the requirements.
If he wanted to be tested again now, it seemed he would have to wait until next year.
"Tang San, you don't need to lose heart either. If you're truly good enough, you'll surely have another chance to enter Notting College next year." Li Daotian walked over and patted Tang San on the shoulder.
"Brother Tian, can I really do it?"
Tang San was a little doubtful of his own abilities.
"Believe in yourself."
Li Daotian patted him on the shoulder again.
Tang San seemed encouraged. He nodded slightly, and an unusual purple radiance appeared in his eyes.
Seeing those eyes, Li Daotian seemed to think of something.
Purple Demon Eye.
It looked quite good, but it was too easy to expose oneself.
After all, once the Purple Demon Eye was used, people would definitely notice it.
Li Daotian hesitated over whether to steal Tang San's Purple Demon Eye.
Tang San seemed to sense that he had revealed a flaw. He hurriedly withdrew the Purple Gold Demon Eye and said to Li Daotian, "I'll definitely work hard."
"I'll be leaving first."
After saying that, he nodded to Li Daotian again, turned, and walked off in another direction.
Seeing Tang San about to leave, Li Daotian finally made up his mind. He still decided to steal Tang San's Purple Demon Eye.
[System, check whether Tang San has anything that can be stolen.] Li Daotian silently said in his heart. [Ding, detected an item that can be stolen from Tang San: Purple Demon Eye Technique.] [Steal it?] [Yes.] [Congratulations, Host. You have successfully stolen the Purple Demon Eye Technique. It has merged into the Host's mind.] [Tang San has lost the Purple Demon Eye mental cultivation method. He will rapidly forget the technique and remain at his current level of the Demon Eye.]
Li Daotian smiled faintly. The Purple Demon Eye was finally his.
Next, he needed to cultivate it properly and strive to achieve the beginner stage before school started.
He entered the room, sat cross-legged, and began comprehending the Purple Demon Eye Technique.
He discovered that this technique was not difficult to cultivate.
After all, he had absorbed the comprehension of dozens of peers. His ability was there for all to see.
Meanwhile, Tang San returned home.
Now that Tang Hao was no longer at home, Tang San had to take care of himself. Fortunately, though he was young, he had cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill before and was actually able to care for himself well.
But as soon as he returned, he discovered that something was wrong with him again.
He shook his head, feeling as though his memories had suffered another loss.
It seemed he had forgotten some things again.
"What exactly is wrong with me? Why have I been forgetting things lately?"
"Could it be because I'm too tired?"
Tang San was suspicious, but he did not connect the matter to Li Daotian.
After all, Li Daotian had not done anything to him.
He became even more doubtful of himself.
Tang San patted his head, calming himself down slightly, then sighed. "It seems I need to start studying as soon as possible. Only by joining a Spirit Master Academy might I be able to change things."
Tang San decided to think of every possible way to enter Notting College.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and it was time for school to begin.
Li Daotian had already brought the Purple Demon Eye to the beginner stage. As long as he activated the Demon Eye, his eyes would shine with a faint purple glow. They looked rather sinister, yet also somewhat handsome.
Most importantly, these eyes allowed him to see clearly at night. To him, that was like gaining another skill.
Even beneath the cover of darkness, he would be able to use his abilities with ease.
"I've improved quite well over this break. I wonder how Xiao Wu is doing?"
"And the Blue Silver King. I wonder if Tang Hao found it?"
"Enough. I haven't seen Xiao Wu in a while. It's time to head back to the academy."
After calculating the time, he entered the bedroom, packed his luggage, and locked the door.
After saying goodbye to Village Chief Jack, he set off for the Spirit Master Academy in Notting City.
As he passed the Tang residence, he saw Tang San with his sleeves rolled up, working hard at the forge beside the house.
Li Daotian smiled, then turned and left.
Tang San noticed Li Daotian as well. There was strong envy in his eyes, along with some helplessness.
