Chapter 13: The Confused Xiao Wu
Now that he had helped Tang San and Xiao Wu during their most difficult time, his cultivation path would be more stable going forward!
Afterward, a group of over a dozen people grandly arrived at the dining hall.
The dining hall was not tall, just a two-story building.
As soon as they reached the entrance, they could smell the aroma of food coming from inside.
Tang San and Xiao Wu unconsciously touched their stomachs, a primitive desire emerging in their hearts.
Just then, Grandmaster arrived.
After Tang San chatted with Grandmaster for a few moments, he declined the idea of going upstairs to the second floor with Grandmaster.
Then, upon hearing Wang Sheng insult his teacher, he severely reprimanded Wang Sheng.
After thanking Sun Yu, he and Xiao Wu sat alone at another table.
The previously harmonious atmosphere among the work-study students became silent due to Tang San's outburst.
Finally, it was Xiao Chenyu who spoke, which caused the always-silent Xiao Wu to erupt, retorting to Xiao Chenyu...
After dinner, Tang San was taken away by Grandmaster for teaching.
Sun Yu, on the other hand, returned to the dormitory with the others.
After eating, having nothing to do, Sun Yu immediately began to meditate.
In a flash, time flew by, and the sun set in the west.
After Sun Yu completed another major circulation, he slowly opened his eyes while exhaling a turbid breath.
However, as soon as Sun Yu opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Wu kneeling on his bed, staring intently at him with her large pink eyes.
"Xiao Wu Jie... what are you looking at?"
Sun Yu looked around him, not revealing any fox tails.
Why was Xiao Wu looking at him like that?!
"Sun Yu, you're so strange. Everyone else went out to play, why are you the only one cultivating spirit power? Don't you find cultivation incredibly boring?"
Xiao Wu looked at Sun Yu's face and asked curiously.
Looking at Xiao Wu's sincere red eyes, Sun Yu sighed helplessly inside.
Alas, calling Xiao Wu a rogue rabbit who forgets loyalty for beauty is truly accurate. She claimed to seek revenge for her mother, thus choosing to transform and interact with humans, yet she cultivates so diligently, is so playful, and so willfully high-profile. It's truly hard to imagine what she's thinking in her rabbit brain...
However, Sun Yu naturally wouldn't idly remind her. It was enough to simply go through the motions with someone as carefree as Xiao Wu. His policy at Notting Academy was only one: be low-key, the lower the better!
"Heh heh, Xiao Wu Jie, you shouldn't be like a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving one. My innate spirit power is only level one, so to become stronger, I naturally need to cultivate with double the effort!
It's their business if others play; my cultivation doesn't bother them, and their playing doesn't bother me. As long as the decisions one makes don't interfere with others, they are their own choices. Interfering too much and getting involved in other people's karma is not good, you know..."
Listening to Sun Yu's explanation, Xiao Wu scratched her head thoughtfully.
She suddenly felt her head itching, as if it was about to grow a brain.
Xiao Wu, feeling increasingly confused by the meaning of Sun Yu's words, shook her head vigorously, casting away her thoughts, then quickly jumped off the bed and pouted, saying,
"Hmph, for someone so young to say things an eighty or ninety-year-old grandpa would say, how boring. I'm not talking to you anymore, talking to you makes me sleepy..."
Then Xiao Wu skipped out of dormitory seven.
She went to find new fun.
And Sun Yu wished Xiao Wu wouldn't come looking for him.
It would be best if she had no contact with him for the next year.
Within the next year, Sun Yu planned to temporarily suspend the cultivation of other abilities and focus on cultivating his spirit power to level ten, then leave Nuoding City and go elsewhere to cultivate freely.
As for the excuse of reaching level ten in a year, a simple "Spirit mutation" would suffice.
The level of innate spirit power is generally sufficient to determine a person's future realm achievements.
Therefore, as long as your innate spirit power is not high, no matter how fast you upgrade in the early stages, others may not pay too much attention.
After all, how could those with deeply ingrained mindsets understand the power of the system?
Soon, time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, night fell.
The number of people in dormitory seven also increased.
The owners of the previously empty single beds had all rushed back from home.
Xiao Wu also returned to the room.
She looked at the moon outside, bored.
Tang San also came back at this time.
As soon as he returned, Xiao Wu eagerly went up to him, skipping and chatting with Tang San about this and that.
Tang San also responded to Xiao Wu with a smile, then walked straight to Sun Yu.
Then, a little awkwardly, he said,
"Sun Yu, Xiao Wu, I have something I want to discuss with you two!"
Sun Yu raised an eyebrow, having an idea in his mind, but still let Tang San explain.
Afterward, Tang San confessed his intention to hunt for a spirit ring, and therefore needed someone to help him with the cleaning starting the day after tomorrow.
So he wanted to ask Xiao Wu and Sun Yu for help.
Tang San also promised that for the next year, he alone would clean that area, while Sun Yu and Xiao Wu could still receive their wages.
Sun Yu naturally had no objection and readily agreed.
After Xiao Wu spoke a few simple words with Tang San, she also agreed.
However, in exchange, Tang San needed to accompany Xiao Wu out to play tonight.
Being able to go out with a beautiful girl, Tang San naturally wouldn't refuse, so he immediately scurried off with Xiao Wu.
Watching them leave, Sun Yu took a sip of water, then continued to sit in meditation, cultivating and operating the Grand Cycle of the Profound Heaven.
His spirit power level was currently around level five, plus five major circulations.
To upgrade to level six, he would need about two hundred more major circulations.
Converted into time, that would be about... eight days.
Uninterrupted cultivation for about eight days would allow him to reach level six.
However, converted to normal academy life, it would take at least twenty-something days, as there were classes during the day, work-study in the afternoon, and then deducting meal times. With cultivation only possible at night, about twenty days was the extreme limit.
But after a few days, when Xiao Wu erupts and defeats the fierce wolf villain Xiao Chenyu, completely becoming the big sister of Notting Academy, Xiao Chenyu will arrange for someone to handle the work-study tasks.
At that time, the afternoon hours can also be used for cultivation...
Therefore, this time might even be further shortened.
Wait, if I remember correctly, in the original work, Tang San would go to the blacksmith shop in the afternoon to forge iron and earn money. He wouldn't be in the academy then. And since Tang San isn't in the academy, wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity for me to go to the academy's back mountain to cultivate other abilities, so they don't go to waste for a whole year?!
"Hmph... calm down, calm down, don't be impulsive. Novels are novels, reality is reality. We'll see then, we'll see then..."
Sun Yu slapped his face, forcing himself to calm down. Then, after briefly re-planning his daily routine for the coming days, he continued to sit cross-legged on the bed and cultivate.
Sun Yu's cultivation state was so deep that he was unaware of when Tang San and Xiao Wu returned.
