Chapter 96

Locking the door, Tang San let out a long breath. He quickly went to the bedroom, got into bed, and took out his small storage bag, then removed all the coins inside. The shimmering elemental coins carried a strong elemental fluctuation.

He counted the number of coins and then put them all back.

He didn’t rush into meditation because his mind wasn’t calm enough yet.

What he recalled in his mind was all the smiles and frowns of Mei Gongzi he had seen today.

Even if to her, he was just a stranger, a stranger with no outstanding qualities, she still cared about him. Perhaps it was out of concern for a fellow human. Everything she subconsciously showed was still so kind.

When Tang San was reborn into this world to find his wife, there were a few things he was most worried about... The first was whether he could find his wife. The second was whether the wife he found would still have the same character as in her previous life. He was afraid that after meeting her reincarnation, her heart would no longer be the same. Especially in a place like the Spirit Continent, he wasn’t afraid that his wife would be a spirit, but he was afraid that her character would change drastically.

But now it seemed that heaven still favored him. The will of heaven had led him to find her.

Although her appearance had changed somewhat, and her demeanor was different, she was still kind and beautiful. And she had already become a human. If she were a human vassal, she would naturally have some spirit bloodline. But did that matter?

In his previous life, his wife was a soul beast, a supple bone rabbit, who had cultivated for ten thousand years to become human! Tang San didn’t care about these things at all.

Excitement was the only emotion he felt at this moment. Seeing Mei Gongzi again, feeling her aura, and sensing her kindness—how wonderful it was.

He didn’t have the right to disturb her yet. He could only become stronger, faster. Once he was strong enough, he would have the right to be by her side and protect her. To make her fall in love with him again, to become his wife again, and to help her cultivate to the divine level. So they could be a family again.

Although the road ahead was long and arduous, everything is difficult at the beginning. Meeting her today could be considered the start.

His heart gradually calmed down, and the excitement was replaced by the determination to cultivate. Seeing Mei Gongzi was the greatest motivation for his cultivation.

He got back into bed and sat in meditation. Tang San decided that today he would absorb all the remaining bloodline power of Feng Xiong, to make his Xuantian Gong progress faster. After absorbing all of Feng Xiong’s bloodline power, his Xuantian Gong should reach a level close to the middle of the fifth rank, and the Wind Wolf Transformation imprint should reach the peak of the fifth stage without any problem.

The night of hard work passed quickly. The next day, classes continued as usual.

In the morning, it was physical training. This time, Tang San took the initiative to increase his own weight. Without needing Mu Yunyu to urge him, he added ten weights to himself and started a full sprint.

Seeing his determined eyes, Mu Yunyu felt that she didn’t need to remind him of anything.

When he returned drenched in sweat at noon, Tang San didn’t lag behind this time but was ranked eighth among all sixteen students.

It was only his second physical training class.

After lunch, Tang San found Wu Bingji.

"Senior Brother, I want to take on a mission," Tang San said to Wu Bingji.

"You want to take on a mission? So soon?" Wu Bingji said, somewhat surprised.

Tang San nodded and said, "I want to earn some money."

Wu Bingji understood and said, "That makes sense. We need various resources for cultivation. The more resources, the faster the cultivation. What kind of mission do you want to take?"

Tang San said without hesitation, "I want to take on the college’s sparring mission."

Wu Bingji was startled, "You want to participate in the sparring at Jiali College? The danger of sparring is even greater than hunting spirit beasts. After all, those spirit students sometimes can’t control themselves. Also, your Wind Blade control..."

Tang San said, "I won’t expose too much. The income from sparring is relatively high, and I want to try it."

Wu Bingji thought for a moment and said, "You are still young, and I can’t agree to this. I’ll ask the teacher."

"Okay," Tang San nodded.

Choosing to be a sparring partner was a well-considered decision. One reason was that sparring would allow him to have more contact with spirits. With his current control over Xuantian Gong and his understanding of Xuantian Gong and devouring, he could completely devour without the other party noticing much.

A small amount of bloodline being devoured wouldn’t help the spirit much. But with more sparring partners, the accumulated bloodline power would help him cultivate Xuantian Gong better, making his cultivation progress faster.

The devouring power of Xuantian Gong was definitely a shortcut for Tang San’s cultivation. He had already reached the fifth rank, and his real combat strength was already at the sixth rank. He had some self-preservation ability. In this situation, he needed to quickly improve himself and raise his cultivation to a higher level.

The spirits who could be admitted to Jiali College were all from pure-blooded families. The Wind Wolf Clan was just a fourth-rank spirit, but the pure Wind Wolf King bloodline could still bring Tang San significant benefits, let alone the more powerful other rank spirits. Therefore, sparring was the best way for him to cultivate. What he needed to do was control the degree of his cultivation.

As for the different elemental spirit transformation imprints he devoured, he could choose to discard or integrate them.

Wu Bingji immediately went to find Guan Longjiang. What Tang San didn’t expect was that before the afternoon class started, it wasn’t Guan Longjiang who came to find him, but his teacher, the mayor, came.

"Xiao Tang, come with me," Zhang Haoxuan called Tang San out and led him back to his room.

Tang San locked the door.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

Zhang Haoxuan frowned and said, "I heard from Guan Longjiang that you want to participate in the sparring mission at Jiali College? Why?"

Tang San said, "I’ve been at the college for a few days. The teachers’ guidance has been very helpful, and it has given me a better understanding of the spirits. Especially the information about the spirit ranks. I compared the spirit imprints I currently have, which are mostly from fourth-rank spirits. To become stronger, I need to devour imprints from more powerful spirits. Jiali College is the best choice."

To Zhang Haoxuan, he had to give a reasonable reason.

Zhang Haoxuan said solemnly, "But doing so also increases the risk of exposure. You should know what will happen if you are exposed."

Tang San said, "I won’t be exposed. I’m confident. Even if I absorb their imprints, I will control the amount. A small loss of bloodline won’t make them feel it much."

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Don’t be too eager. Steady progress is the most important. Although only I know your current situation, I have also carefully considered it over the past few days. If your cultivation method can ultimately succeed and even break through to the divine level, it will be revolutionary for all of humanity. I have already secretly started to find children to try cultivating Xuantian Gong to see if it’s possible. If it is, the significance would be very great."

"Have you already found people to try it?" Tang San asked in surprise. He still clearly remembered that Zhang Haoxuan had said that Xuantian Gong needed to be kept completely secret.
