Chapter 86

Tang San said, "Teacher said I could come and take a look. Senior Brother, can you introduce me to the types of missions we have here?"

Wu Bingji nodded and said, "Our academy's missions are mainly designed for everyone's training. The rewards are all in the form of money. These include practice missions to Jiali Academy, hunting demon beasts, and collecting precious spirit herbs. These are the main three categories. You can take on any of them. However, since you are younger and your cultivation exceeds that of ordinary humans, I suggest you not take the practice missions, as it's too easy to be noticed by Jiali Academy. The latter two would be more suitable for you. Generally, missions to collect spirit herbs and hunt demon beasts can be done in teams, not alone, so you can support each other and avoid danger."

He then handed over several sheets with detailed information. Although he did not recommend Tang San to take the practice missions, the list of practice missions was still included.

"Understood, thank you, Senior Brother." Tang San laid the mission sheets flat on the table to check them.

Duba, standing beside him, said somewhat discontentedly, "Senior Brother, why haven't I seen these missions? I always get tasks like delivering messages or shopping, with pitiful rewards."

Wu Bingji couldn't help but laugh, "You! You don't have the ability to protect yourself! You should act according to your capabilities, little brother."

Duba said, "I'm not a little brother anymore, Tang San is."

Wu Bingji looked at him, then at Tang San, and shook his head, "If he wants to, it won't be long before he becomes the senior brother. So, I call him Xiao Tang, not little brother."

Duba's lips twitched, but thinking about today's battle between Wu Bingji and Tang San, he couldn't say anything. How could he when the other person was so strong and he himself had no combat ability?

Tang San was looking at the mission sheets, focusing mainly on the demon beast hunting missions. Demon beasts were actually monsters without spiritual intelligence. He had eaten demon beast meat before, and it indeed had a significant benefit for physical tempering.

Moreover, he noticed that among the three types of missions, the rewards for hunting demon beasts were the highest. At least they were at the level of Spirit Rhinoceros Coins, and even Elemental Coins, or even higher-level Tianyu Coins. The rewards were indeed generous.

Tang San was most interested in hunting demon beasts, not only because of the generous rewards but also because he wanted to see if the bloodline power of demon beasts could be directly absorbed and how it differed from that of the monster race.

After finishing reading the sheets, Tang San said to Duba, "Where is the convenience store? Can you take me there?"

Duba smiled, "Sure, go to the convenience store, and you'll know what you want. Then you can take on the corresponding missions to buy things."

Tang San bowed to Wu Bingji again, just as he was about to leave, Wu Bingji said, "Xiao Tang, if you have time tonight, I want to visit you and ask you some questions about elemental control. Is that okay?"

This senior brother had no airs and did not show any negative emotions because of Tang San's strength demonstrated in today's practical combat. Tang San could feel the sincerity in his words and smiled, nodding, "Of course, Senior Brother, you're too polite. Let's discuss it together."

"Great, I'll come to you after dinner tonight." Wu Bingji smiled.

Leaving Wu Bingji's room, Duba whispered, "Senior Brother is a good person. He's the standard good guy in our academy. Everyone gets along well with him, and he's very strong. Almost all the girls like Senior Brother. Cheng Zicheng is the same. I'm telling you, winning against her is nothing. If you win against Senior Brother today, she might even fight you to the death."

Just as Tang San was about to say something, a scream suddenly came from the side, and the next moment, Duba was flying up.

Then Tang San saw Duba being carried to the roof by Cheng Zicheng, who was flapping her wings and hitting his head, "Do you want to die? Do you want to die?"

Seeing Cheng Zicheng's flushed and furious face, Tang San knew that what Duba said must be true! This young girl was really precocious! But it was probably just a vague fondness.

He couldn't leave his brother in trouble, especially since he needed Duba to take him to the convenience store.

Lightly tapping his foot on the ground, Tang San leaped onto the roof, "Senior Sister, I didn't hear anything. What did Duba say just now?"

"Huh?" Cheng Zicheng was taken aback, turned to look at him, and saw Tang San's sincere eyes.

"Did you really not hear anything?" Cheng Zicheng looked suspicious.

Tang San said, "I only heard Duba say that Senior Brother is very good, and before you took him to the roof, I didn't hear the rest. Is Senior Brother not good?"

Cheng Zicheng glared at him, "How is he not good? Senior Brother is very good. I just can't stand him talking behind people's backs."

"Can't even praise people?" Duba said pitifully, with two bumps already on his head.

Cheng Zicheng glared at him, raised her wings to hit him again. Tang San quickly raised his hand to stop her, "Senior Sister, calm down. We're all on the same side. Senior Brother is coming to my place tonight to discuss elemental control. Would you like to join us?"

"Senior Brother is coming to you?" Cheng Zicheng was taken aback.

"Yes! Senior Brother is very strong in ice elemental control, and I want to learn from him. He said we might as well go to my room," Tang San said.

Cheng Zicheng's flushed face gradually faded, "Is it appropriate for me to go? I'm not an expert in elements."

Tang San said, "Actually, when you transform into the Golden Phoenix, you also use wind power. I think we can discuss wind elements together and help each other."

Cheng Zicheng reluctantly said, "Alright. What time tonight?"

"After dinner, at my room." Tang San smiled.

"Okay." Cheng Zicheng didn't even look at Duba, floated down from the roof, and walked away.

Duba rubbed his head, looked at Tang San, and then at Cheng Zicheng, who had already left, "Brother! Your ability to speak with a straight face is really impressive!"

Tang San smiled, "This isn't speaking with a straight face; it's called emotional intelligence. Learn it. If you do, you won't suffer as much."

Leading Duba down from the roof, Duba was still wincing in pain, muttering, "Daring to hit the mascot will bring bad luck."

In the distance, Cheng Zicheng, who had just entered her room, stumbled and tripped over the threshold, her foot twisting strangely, "Crack," and she sprained her ankle...

"Ah! It hurts!"

At this moment, Duba had already taken Tang San to the southern house in the courtyard.

He knocked on the door, and a pleasant voice came from inside, "Come in."

Pushing the door open, Tang San saw a sign on the ground that read "Convenience Store." The writing was a bit crooked and definitely not beautiful.

But as soon as he entered the room, he immediately felt a difference. There was a unique smell, a mix of medicinal and fragrant scents. Most importantly, the spiritual energy here was extremely dense.

The elemental energy in Jiali City was already very dense, especially around Jiali Academy. But this room was the densest place of elemental energy that Tang San had ever been to. Various elemental fluctuations were present, and the air was so dense with elemental energy that it felt somewhat sticky.

Even without using his Spirit Rhinoceros Heart Eye, Tang San could feel the air was a bit blurry, not because it was dirty but because the elemental energy was too dense.

He almost instinctively took a deep breath, and immediately his bloodline felt somewhat stimulated. However, he also quickly realized a problem: although the elemental energy here was extremely dense, it was also somewhat mixed. If he were to practice here, purifying the elemental energy would be a rather troublesome task.
