Chapter 6.2: I'm Xiao Wu

Mo Hen said:

“Tang San, you and Xiao Wu are first-rate students working, so from now on, you are responsible for sweeping the park to the south of the sports field. Every day you will get ten copper spirit coins, but remember, you have to clean every day. In particular the garbage should be well sorted, otherwise your wages can be reduced. If you seem like a delinquent, the Academy can take you out. Do you understand clearly? "

Tang San and Xiao Wu nodded simultaneously, expressing understanding.

Mo Hen said:

“Tomorrow is the opening ceremony. The day after the regular classes began. First year classes are on the first floor of the main school building, so the day after tomorrow you will go to class soon. Starting from the day after tomorrow, you will start doing regular work. We can do an unscheduled spot check. Well, rest first. Wang Sheng, you are the oldest here, so tell them about the rules. ”

Holding the blanket on his chest, Tang San felt a warmth in his heart. His mind could not help but recall the Grandmaster's somewhat stiff face.

"Choose? This seems to be a problem. ”

Xiao Wu stared blankly at the bed in Tang San's hands, in his eyes looking somewhat embarrassed.

Working students were children from poor backgrounds, but it made more sense than the descendants of nobles, some smart students immediately cried out:

“Bos, for a while using my mattress, I will put half my blanket on the divider. ”

Another student said:

“Bos, then use my mattress. I brought a cotton padding mattress that I could use. ”

Xiao Wu looked at the beds of these working students, although it could not be determined to what extent they were dirty, most of them broken, tattered, and worn out. Frowning he said:

"You better not call me boss, 'cause it looks like you called me old. ”

Wang Sheng said:

“That's how we say it, that's the rule. ”

Xiao Wu said:

“Because I'm the boss, my words should be treated as a rule. Then it's fine like this: next you call me Xiao Wu jie. ”

Speaking to one side, his gaze finally fell onto the bed on Tang San's arm.

"Tang San, can we talk for a second?"

Tang San was in a daze for a moment, in his heart he understood that Xiao Wu might be eyeing the bed in his hands. She had never been a stingy person, but this bed was a Grandmaster gift to her; in her heart she was a bit reluctant to part with him. But Xiao Wu was a girl.

"Speaking about what?"

Xiao Wu said:

“I see your bed is big enough, two people don't take up much space. This way is good. If we put our beds together, can't we both use them? "

"Aah?"

Use together? Tang San looked at Xiao Wu. Mentally, he is not a six-year-old. Although he and Xiao Wu were currently very small, but to sleep together ……

“Men and women sleep together without blood relations, it's not good. ”

Xiao Wu snorted, saying:

"What's not good? I don't care, are you scared? Are you afraid I'll mem you, ah? ”

"Eh ……"

Everyone said girls were more precocious compared to boys, but this girl before his eyes was only six years old.

Tang San's choking words did not come out. The other students watched them, enviously, have a good show. Everyone had a mischievous smile on their faces, but no one spoke.

“'Eh' what 'eh'? Hurry up, pull the bed. Do you not have extraordinary strength? "

Xiao Wu urged impatiently.

Tang San subconsciously pushed his bed next to Xiao Wu's bed. Xiao Wu took out a blanket from his hand, first unfurling the mattress on the bed. This bed is for adults, and it is indeed very large. Although it cannot be fully spread across two beds, it can still cover over seventy percent.

Xiao Wu spread out his bundle of cloth on the seams where the two beds were put together.

“You also put your cloth bundle here. Hereafter, this is the limit. If you step over the line, don't think it's weird if I'm blunt, oh. ”

Seeing Xiao Wu who was organizing the border, Tang San was instead relieved. He hurriedly nodded, and put down his bundle. Xiao Wu covered the bed with a blanket, the two beds only took one form. Of course, there was a demarcation line.

Wang Sheng said:

“We have to have lunch. Xiao Wu jie, Tang San, let's go. ”

Hearing about the food, Xiao Wu immediately jumped up, and excitedly said:

“Great. What's good to eat? "

Wang Sheng and the working student looked at each other anxiously, and said with a forced smile:

“What good can we eat for working students? In the dining room you can buy cheap food collected there. ”

Tang San shook his head, saying:

"You go, I won't go. ”

Her house was filled with poverty, while Tang Hao's money was exchanged for alcohol, so in order not to starve she specifically brought a ration: a rough flat cake she made. Simply filling his stomach was no problem. The day after he started working for wages.

Seeing the patch on Tang San's body, Wang Sheng vaguely understood its meaning, and would not force it.

“Xiao Wu jie, let's go. ”

The increased excitement on Xiao Wu's face suddenly froze all at once.

“Should you spend money to eat? How much spirit money is that? ”

If not for his unreasonable strength, perhaps Wang Sheng would have cursed. Doesn't it need to be said that eating food costs money? Who can get free lunch? Merely, he naturally saw that this newly appointed boss was probably the same as Tang San, also short of money.

Wang Sheng gallantly said:

"Not important . Like this, for these two days consider your food expenditure for me. Tang San, next time everyone is together is a dorm friend, so let's go. In the worst case until you have the money just ask me. ”

Tang San momentarily hesitated a bit, but still agreed. He had no concept of money. Wang Sheng was very happy with his meal, Xiao Wu even more immediately smiled, looking at Wang Sheng meaningfully. But given his Soft Skill, Wang Sheng kept his distance from him. Earlier, when he threw Tang San, his face also showed a smiling expression. Who knew when he would be excited, and suddenly come to him easily.

Including Tang San and Xiao Wu, a group of eleven people left room seven, heading towards the dining room under Wang Sheng's lead. The dining room is in the school building, having to traverse the entire sports field to get there.

Currently, the sports field was already crowded; one could see some academy uniforms wearing students going towards the school building. Obviously, they'll all eat.

The dining hall of the master spirit teacher Nuoding was huge, large enough to hold six grades beside the teacher, all of them over three hundred visitors. Currently, there was already a crowd lined up in the dining room that served the windows. The dining hall was divided into two floors, and the first floor hall alone had three hundred seats.

"Isn't this Wang Sheng's poverty sighting group?"

As they entered the dining room, a discordant voice reached them.

Tang San looked questioningly at the direction the voice came from, only seeing a group of senior students standing on the stairs between the first and second floors, staring at them from a higher position.

The speaker was a handsome and eager male student, perhaps eleven or twelve years old, his eyes revealing a concentrated disdain, wagging a finger towards Wang Sheng.

“The appearance of poverty is just a look at poverty, it may always not be able to eat on the second floor. ”

On the way to the dining room, Wang Sheng had already told Xiao Wu how the boss of room seven and the working students should act in public, and Xiao Wu immediately agreed. Currently meeting someone who was provoking him, his emotions instantly rose.

"What are you creatures? How is the second floor so great? ”

A student working by Xiao Wu's side advised him in a low voice:

“The second floor is a place where you can order dishes independently. Very expensive, we really can't eat. ”

Xiao Wu's stature was almost the same as Tang San's, and before, Wang Sheng protected them behind him. As he now walked away, the students on the stairs naturally caught his appearance, and the eyes of the speaking students immediately brightened.

“Beautiful little Loli, ah, what a pity she's a working student. Wang Sheng, I am your father going to go eat now, so I will let you go this time. ”

 

Speaking, he was followed by a crowd of people climbing the stairs to the second floor.

Xiao Wu raised his legs, about to chase after them, but was grabbed and held back by Tang San.

"Forget it, we've come to eat. ”

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with a sneer.

"Are you very shy?"

Tang San, without explanation, went and went to the end of the line to buy food.

Tang sect rule: All Tang sect disciples, should not be easily provoked to bring trouble upon themselves, but if the offender takes the initiative, promise to return with thunder.

From an adult's point of view, these academy students, regardless of their temperament, were all just a group of children, nothing more. To him, the adult mentality, the competition with a child over ten years old, could not attract much attention to Tang San.

However, the display of Xiao Wu's temperament caused Wang Sheng to admire him even more.

Just then, Tang San looked at the person he knew, and hurriedly walked over,

"Teacher, you also came to eat?"

The Grandmaster came. Nodding towards him, he said:

"Are the things you got about right?"

Tang San respectfully nodded and said:

“Thank you, Master over his bed. ”

The grandmaster clapped his hands, saying:

Tang San shook his head, saying:

"No . Teacher, I'm going to eat with my dorm roommate. ”

All this time, he did not want to act like an unconventional person.

The grandmaster did not survive. He nodded and said:

“Oke, you do what you feel is appropriate. Go awayl. After I finish eating, wait for me at the dining room gate. ”

Saying so, he went up to the second floor.

Although she did not know why, Tang San felt that the Grandmaster and his father were a little similar. Although his father spoke very little, and the Grandmaster spoke more, their nature gave off a certain kind of feeling. Especially the Grandmaster revealed this aspect more clearly. Even when he smiled, he still had serious feelings.

Wang Sheng appeared beside Tang San.

"You know the Grandmaster?"

Tang San nodded, saying:

"He is my teacher. ”

Wang Sheng said in a strange voice:

"Cannot be. You recognize the Grandmaster as a master? The real power is not too much. In our academy, Grandmasters are only the official type to visit. They said it was because of his good connections with the chairman so he could stay in the academy. Says it's not so good, just a hitchhiker. I heard, the Grandmaster will soon be fifty years old but still have not broken through the limits of the spirit grandmaster, and his spirit only has twenty-nine ranks. Maybe all his life he still won't be able to break through. ”

Tang San raised his head, looking at Wang Sheng seriously.

"If you don't want to exchange pointers with me once more, I'm asking that you won't make a wrong evaluation like my Master. This is the first time, I hope it is also the last. Thank you for your kindness, but I think you still don't need to treat me. ”

Finished speaking, he turned around and went outside the dining room.

Wang Sheng didn't expect Tang San's reaction to be this big, he stood there for a moment in a daze. On one side Xiao Wu and the other students also did not understand why he was like this.

'Teacher for a day is father for life'. From Tang San's point of view, these words were not at all just pleasantries. Ever since acknowledging the Grandmaster as a master, his respect for the Grandmaster had developed into a sincere appreciation. If only now it wasn't Wang Shang who spoke of the wrong impression of a living Grandmaster from someone else, but rather someone else, perhaps he would have attacked immediately.

Wang Sheng somewhat annoyedly said:

“Cannot make head or tail. This kid has some defects. ”

Xiao Wu saw Tang San return. Although the clothes he was wearing were full of patches, subconsciously, that skinny and small figure felt much bigger.

To be near the water after eating the rations, Tang San quickly returned to the dining room. This time he did not enter, standing near the dining hall gate quietly waiting. Of the passing disciples, quite a number were throwing curious gazes, but as if he had not seen them, he let his eyelids droop, without even looking at them.

After waiting for an hour, the Grandmaster finally came out of the dining room, and with him came a middle-aged person.

The middle-aged man was wearing a chang pao, his face was extremely intelligent, his chin slightly protruding, on his face a gentle smile.

“Come go, little San. ”

The grandmaster called out towards where Tang San was standing near the dining hall gate.

The middle-aged man beside the Grandmaster said with a smile:

"This is your newly accepted student?"

Grandmaster nodded.

The middle-aged man clapped the Grandmaster's shoulder, the,

“Alright, good luck. I'll go first. ”

After saying that, he looked at Tang San, and went the other way.

The Grandmaster residence was a room in the corner of the top floor of the dormitory building. The room was not large, only about thirty square meters. The things inside were also very simple, only two bookshelves on one wall covered in books caught Tang San's attention.

The grandmaster took out a bundle of paper from his hand and handed it to Tang San.

"Eat first, right. Even if I had brought it with me for a long time, the food was still good. ”

Tang San was stunned for a moment, then opened the paper pack. In it he saw two legs of chicken and steamed bread, still lukewarm.

"Teacher……"

"Come, eat fast. When I finished, I still had a few things to talk about. Youth cannot be wasted. ”

The Grandmaster's expression was calm and solemn, his voice cold.

It wasn't easy to eat as much with just a rough flat cake, and eating Tang San wasn't bad either. Very quickly he took the food the Grandmaster had given him and devoured everything.

The grandmaster poured a cup of water, then sat down behind the table.

“This year you are six years old, with innate full spirit power, and twin spirits. Let go of your other spirit, and let me see it. ”

Tang San nodded. The grandmaster already knew that he had twin spirits, so he had no reason to hide them. Raising his left hand, a black light surged, once again merging into that not-so-large hammer.

Because between the last time and coming to school he had been practicing, his physical strength had made significant progress. Right now he could hold the hammer with great difficulty and not feel the overwhelming tension.

Looking at the hammer in Tang San's hand, the Grandmaster suddenly surged from his chair to his feet, his eyes emitting an extremely agitated light. Unceasingly staring at the hammer, muttering:

"Tang San, Tang San, the surname Tang .. ok, you can get rid of that spirit. You should not easily express it in front of others. Without my permission, your afterlife definitely does not have to give that spirit an additional spirit ring. This part you should remember well. ”

Tang San was somewhat surprised to see the Grandmaster, though,

“Dad also told me this. Why can't I add a spirit ring to this spirit? ”

The agitated light in the Grandmaster's eyes gradually blunted,

"What does your father do?"

Tang San said:

"He's a village blacksmith. ”

"Iron expert?"

The Grandmaster's gaze was a bit strange, with a sigh he shook his head,

“Iron Mark, hammer, suddenly this is the perfect pair. ”

“Now is not the time to tell you, you just need to remember: right now you do not have to use this spirit and add spirit rings, just for the sake of your future plans. You have to remember it correctly. ”

Since father said so, and Grandmaster also said so, this made Tang San's trust in Grandmaster increase.

"I understand . ”

The grandmaster said:

“Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, the day after tomorrow the regular class will start. However, from your point of view, this is just a delay, nothing more. Right now the most urgent matter, is to make your spirit able to continue cultivating. In the morning you act only after I carefully think about it. Tomorrow morning you will follow me from the academy and I will take you to go find a suitable spirit ring, to let you advance to the spirit master's degree. ”

Tang San rejoiced because of what the Grandmaster said. Only after obtaining the spirit ring could he be sure if it was due to the lack of the spirit ring that his Mysterious Heavenly Skill was restrained. The Grandmaster's method was what he wanted, and he hastily agreed to it.

The grandmaster continued to speak:

“For the academy side, I can help you explain, you don't have to worry. On the way back I can teach you about spirit knowledge. Tang San, what is your view of your blue silver grass spirit? ”

Tang San said:

“Everyone says it is a useless spirit, however, I feel like everything has some purpose. Even the most ordinary blue silver grass should also be like that. ”

The grandmaster, pleased, nodded and said:

"Not bad . Every spirit has its characteristics. In my research, the inferior spirits are a very big part. I have always stated that there are no trash spirits, only trash people. Tomorrow I'll take you to look for the spirit ring, so now you have to decide the direction of your own spirit growth. ”

Tang San was a bit dumbfounded.

“Spirit growth? Teacher, what does this mean? "

The grandmaster said:

“For this we should talk about the classification of spirits themselves. To distinguish them broadly, spirits only had two broad categories: animal spirits and tool spirits. Plant-type spirits are also included in the tool spirit, so both of your spirits count as tool spirits. The biggest difference between a tool spirit and a beast spirit is in its manifestation. ”

“When animal spirits are used, the power of the beast is added to yours, and it will also add its effect on the body. Relying on the human body with the integration of the beast spirit to increase its strength, achieving the unity of the human spirit to launch an attack was his goal. But spirit tools are completely different – spirit tools have a usable effect regardless of body. As a result, the nature helps the tool spirit be greater than the animal spirit. Lifting a simple example, if your spirit is our most common food, the oldest sword rice, as it is, your spirit can be treated as food. Furthermore since it was given form by spirit power, its effects could be much better when compared to ordinary rice. ”

Tang San said, amazed:

"Can spirits also be eaten?"

The grandmaster nodded in affirmation and said:

“Spirit category food all edible. Therefore, the talented high-rise food system spirit masters were always wanted by the army. A single food system master who had a rank of over thirty could provide enough food to feed a hundred soldiers, greatly reducing the depletion of resources by the army. ”

Tang San flatly said:

“I still don't understand. ”

The grandmaster patiently said:

“The principle is actually very simple. Food, for all living organisms, is all treated as restoring energy. And spirit power is also a kind of energy. Just as spirit power can change to be absorbed by humans as energy, as it is, from our point of view it is certainly no different from real food. Just like the energy the human body needs. ”

Tang San listened and only slightly understood a little, but he understood the general idea.

“So to say, spirit tools are mostly used to provide help, right.” 

The grandmaster said:

“Nothing is certain, some tool spirits can be battle spirits. For example, if your tool spirit is a sword, it could be considered a weapon. Like that, you can also become a battle spirit master, just like what was talked about in the outside world as a magic weapon, actually just a spirit battle spirit master tool with their spirits cultivated to the peak. Although tool spirit masters and battle spirit masters were different, there were some connections between them. Every spirit teacher has a growth direction: food system, detection system, battle system, healing system, control system, and so on. Right now, before obtaining the Spirit Ring, you must first decide the direction of your future spirit growth. Spirit cultivation spirit masters, must have a direction to develop.
