Tang San's Boast, Yu Xiaogang's Instructions

A few days later, Tang San and Xiao Wu returned to the academy.

The two returned to Dorm Seven and happened to see Wang Feng.

"Yo, Xiao Wu, you're back."

Seeing Xiao Wu, Wang Feng greeted her.

"Mm, Wang Feng, have you been here alone the whole time?"

Xiao Wu's large eyes roamed over Wang Feng, seemingly trying to see exactly what it was about him that attracted her.

"Of course. I don't have that much time to waste."

Seeing Xiao Wu chatting with Wang Feng, Tang San frowned.

He had always had a feeling that Wang Feng harbored improper intentions toward Xiao Wu.

Just like when Xiao Wu asked Wang Feng to fight her—he rejected her every time, yet he maintained a good relationship with her, as though he were deliberately stringing her along.

Now that Xiao Wu had become his little sister, that feeling that Wang Feng harbored improper intentions toward her grew even stronger. He had warned Xiao Wu before, but who knew if she was still the same as before? No, he absolutely could not let Wang Feng get too close to Xiao Wu again.

Thinking of this, Tang San interrupted, "Little sister, are you hungry? How about we go eat?"

When he called her little sister, Tang San noticed the surprise on Wang Feng's face and smiled smugly.

"Xiao Wu, you acknowledged Tang San as your big brother?"

Wang Feng was somewhat surprised. Although he knew that Xiao Wu would acknowledge Tang San as her brother in the original story, he was still surprised. After all, with him, this little butterfly, flapping his wings, Xiao Wu and Tang San's relationship was not as good as it had been in the original story. Yet she had acknowledged him as her brother so quickly.

"That's right." Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed. After all, she had always been the assertive Sister Xiao Wu in front of Wang Feng. Turning to Tang San, she reproached him, "Didn't you promise me you'd call me Xiao Wu in front of other people?"

He had gone back on his word just after making the promise. What about later?

Tang San scratched his head sheepishly. "Uh, Xiao Wu, I forgot. I'll pay attention next time."

"Hmph. You can't call me little sister in front of others anymore, understand?"

"Mm, don't worry. I won't do it again next time, little sister—oh, no, Xiao Wu." As he spoke, he shot Wang Feng a smug glance.

It was as if he were saying: I have a little sister. Do you?

Seeing this, Wang Feng said teasingly, "Xiao Wu, congratulations on acknowledging Tang San as your big brother. But Xiao Wu, is this big brother a proper big brother? Could it be that someone wants to use the title of big brother as an excuse to do something improper?"

The someone Wang Feng referred to was naturally Tang San.

Hearing Wang Feng's words, Tang San grew agitated. "Wang Feng, what do you mean? What improper thing? I just treat Xiao Wu as my little sister."

Right, he only treated Xiao Wu as his sweetheart little sister.

Seeing Xiao Wu look at him, Tang San changed the subject. "Xiao Wu, let's ignore Wang Feng. He's just jealous that I have such a cute little sister. I haven't seen Teacher in days. Come find Teacher with me. If Teacher finds out you've become my little sister, he'll definitely be happy."

Tang San did not want Xiao Wu to be alone with Wang Feng. Without waiting for her agreement, he took her hand and headed toward his teacher's quarters.

"Tsk, tsk! Tang San, Tang San, you really do harbor improper intentions toward Xiao Wu."

Watching Tang San hurry away, Wang Feng muttered a jab before continuing his cultivation.

"Teacher, I'm back."

In Yu Xiaogang's quarters, Tang San walked in and spoke.

Seeing Tang San enter, Yu Xiaogang put down the book in his hand. "Xiao San, why did you come back so quickly? And you and Xiao Wu are...?"

Seeing Tang San holding Xiao Wu's hand so intimately, Yu Xiaogang froze for a moment. He wondered whether his disciple Tang San and Xiao Wu were... dating? They were so young. Was Xiao San suited for that?

"Oh, it's like this, Teacher. I acknowledged Xiao Wu as my little sister."

"So that's how it is. I thought you two..."

"Master, what did you think?"

Xiao Wu looked at Yu Xiaogang in confusion. What did that expression of his mean?

"Nothing. It's good that you're back."

Thinking of the departed Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang roughly understood why Tang San had acknowledged Xiao Wu as his little sister. Moreover, Xiao Wu's aptitude was not much weaker than Tang San's. Having Xiao Wu as Tang San's little sister was profitable no matter how he looked at it. He had gained another experimental subject.

"Perfect timing. Now that you're back, Xiao San, I have some things to tell you. Mm, since Xiao Wu is already Xiao San's little sister, you can stay and listen too."

"Master, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Whenever Yu Xiaogang explained knowledge to Tang San before, he would have her leave. Why was he now allowing her to stay so readily?

"It's fine. Xiao San is my disciple, and you're Xiao San's little sister. It's only right to teach you along the way."

"Is that so? Then all right."

Xiao Wu was quite interested in what Master wanted to say, and her curiosity made her stay.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Tang San looked at his teacher with gratitude. He noticed that ever since Teacher had gotten green hair, he seemed much more spirited.

"You both possess Innate Full Soul Power. Though you're only seven years old, you've already reached level sixteen. In all of Notting Academy, your aptitudes are the best."

"For the next five years, I will set a goal for you. You only need to follow my instructions and complete it. As for Notting Academy's lessons, you can put them aside. With me teaching you, you can learn much more."

"Yes, Teacher."

Tang San nodded in agreement.

Over the past year, he had indeed learned far more from his teacher than from Notting Academy.

Yu Xiaogang nodded and continued, "Your first goal is to break through to level twenty within two years. Then, over the following three years, reach level twenty-five or higher."

After saying a great deal more, Yu Xiaogang looked sternly at Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Over these five years, I believe you can accomplish what I just said. Remember, within Notting Academy, your aptitudes are the strongest. No one can compare to you. This is only your starting point."

"Mm."

Tang San strongly agreed with his teacher. At present, there truly was no one in all of Notting Academy who could compare to him and Xiao Wu.

At that moment, Xiao Wu thought of Wang Feng and asked in confusion, "Master, what about Wang Feng? He also has Innate Full Soul Power. His aptitude and strength aren't much weaker than ours."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head in displeasure. "Xiao Wu, you're mistaken about this. Although he has Innate Full Soul Power, without my guidance, the gap between him and you will only grow wider and wider."

"Is that so?" Xiao Wu was puzzled. She could sense that Wang Feng was very strong, which was why she had always wanted to compete with him.

"That's right. Wang Feng's martial soul is Green Light. This kind of martial soul has appeared for the first time in history. If he had taken me as his teacher and cultivated according to my methods, he would certainly have great prospects in the future. But unfortunately, he did not take me as his teacher. Furthermore, I heard from the academy's teachers that he does not listen during lessons, cultivates on his own, and often skips class. A person like that is destined to become useless in the future. You must not imitate him, understand?" Yu Xiaogang instructed.

"Don't worry, Teacher, I won't."

Tang San believed Yu Xiaogang's words. Moreover, over the past year, he had often seen Wang Feng skip class. He decided that he should interact less with Wang Feng in the future.

The two-month break quickly ended, and the students of Notting Academy gradually returned to register.

However, none of this affected Wang Feng. He continued studying when it was time to study, cultivating when it was time to cultivate, and researching when it was time to research.

What surprised Wang Feng was that ever since Tang San had acknowledged Xiao Wu as his little sister, he did not know whether Tang San had spoken ill of him behind his back or something else, but Xiao Wu's relationship with him had worsened somewhat.

Even Tang San wore the expression of a stranger whenever he saw him.

But Wang Feng was not trying to curry favor with Tang San, so he did not care if their relationship worsened.

A year and a half later, Tang San truly lived up to Yu Xiaogang's expectations and successfully broke through to level twenty. With the personal assistance of Notting Academy's headmaster, he hunted a six-hundred-year-old plant-type Spirit Beast, a Ghost Vine, and obtained his second soul skill, Parasite. At the same time, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was strengthened once more. Its toughness became greater, and its poison changed from slight paralysis to neural paralysis, becoming even more potent.

Not long after Tang San broke through to level twenty, Xiao Wu also broke through to level twenty.

Wang Feng, who likewise possessed Innate Full Soul Power, had not broken through to level twenty. This made Tang San believe Master's words even more firmly. The gap between him and Wang Feng would only grow wider in the future.

Because of this, whenever he encountered Wang Feng, aside from offering a polite greeting, the two treated each other no differently from ordinary people.
