Hearing this, Xiao Ze looked over.
It was Yu Xiaogang's voice.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm going."
"Mm, study hard, Xiao Ze."
The village chief ruffled Xiao Ze's hair.
Xiao Ze walked up to Yu Xiaogang and handed over his work-study information.
When he saw Xiao Ze's Innate level-two spirit power, disdain flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Ze's mouth twitched—this guy with Innate level-zero-point-five trash dared to look down on me?
The nerve.
But Xiao Ze didn't care; he was here to learn, and their paths wouldn't cross.
As for Tang San, Xiao Ze disliked him, but right now he had no power.
His first priority was to Cultivate to level ten and obtain his first spirit ring.
He needed to figure out what his Black Soil Spirit was good for.
"All right, follow me."
"Xiao Ze, that's the headmaster's office—go straight to the headmaster."
Yu Xiaogang pointed at a reasonably decent-looking house.
"Got it." Xiao Ze knew that in a moment Yu Xiaogang would take Tang San as his little white-mouse disciple.
To put it bluntly, Yu Xiaogang was somewhat useful on Tang San's journey, but not much—he even almost got Tang San killed.
Xiao Ze arrived at the headmaster's office.
The office was sparsely furnished: a large desk and a single bookshelf.
"Child."
Xiao Ze looked; off to the side stood an old man whose hair was slightly gray, yet he looked spirited and not at all aged.
"Grandpa Headmaster, I'm a new work-study student; here's my information."
"Oh? Let Grandpa have a look." The headmaster beamed; he liked polite children like Xiao Ze.
"Spirit: Black Soil, Innate level-two spirit power."
The headmaster blinked. "What does your Spirit do?"
"It's just black dirt." The Black Soil appeared in Xiao Ze's right hand.
Seeing it, the headmaster was also stumped.
"Do you know what your Spirit is useful for?"
"No idea." Xiao Ze shook his head.
"Don't worry, child; many Spirits only reveal their purpose after you get a spirit ring." The headmaster patted Xiao Ze's head reassuringly.
"I understand, Grandpa Headmaster. I'll Cultivate hard."
"Good boy. Off to Dormitory Seven."
The headmaster led Xiao Ze outside.
There Xiao Ze witnessed Tang San kneeling and formally acknowledging Yu Xiaogang as his master.
The Sea God's little white mouse had made his entrance.
The headmaster frowned. "Yu Xiaogang, what are you up to now—bullying children?"
"No, Headmaster; I'm taking a disciple." Yu Xiaogang's face was all smiles.
He had actually accepted a Genius with Innate Full spirit power and twin spirits.
He would definitely raise this boy into a powerhouse.
He, Yu Xiaogang, was the foremost theoretical Grandmaster on the Douluo Continent.
"Huh? A level-twenty-nine Spirit Master taking disciples?" The headmaster was stunned.
Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened; he hated when people brought up his spirit power.
Tang San was also dazed—his teacher was only a Spirit Grandmaster? And one this old?
Xiao Ze couldn't figure out why Tang Hao hadn't stopped Tang San from apprenticing himself to Yu Xiaogang.
Probably Tang Hao knew about Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong's history.
He wanted Yu Xiaogang to obtain the twin spirits training method from Bibi Dong.
It was all calculation.
If Yu Xiaogang weren't somewhat useful, Tang San's kneeling alone would have signed his death warrant tonight.
In the original story, when Zhao Wuji injured Tang San, Tang Hao beat Zhao Wuji senseless that same night.
Tang Hao was extremely protective.
None of this had anything to do with Xiao Ze, though.
Xiao Ze only wanted to focus on himself.
Tang San and Tang Hao could wait.
He wasn't some Genius, hadn't joined Spirit Hall, and hadn't bullied Tang San.
Tang Hao had no reason to go mad and kill him.
If push came to shove, he could always leak Tang Hao's whereabouts to Spirit Hall.
"Headmaster, I'm a theoretical Grandmaster; spirit power is my only flaw,"
Yu Xiaogang argued.
"Suit yourself." The headmaster gave Tang San a long look,
thinking to himself,
This kid—why is he suddenly blind, taking Yu Xiaogang as his master?
Unbelievable.
"All right, let's head to Dormitory Seven together."
When Tang San saw Yu Xiaogang nod, he immediately followed.
He had no choice; as a member of Tang Sect he placed utmost importance on master-disciple ties.
He could only hope this useless teacher would be of some use.
The headmaster led Tang San and Xiao Ze to Dormitory Seven.
The moment the door opened, a leg flew at them.
The headmaster casually caught it and pushed the attacker aside.
"Wang Sheng, what are you doing?"
"Headmaster! Sorry, Headmaster, I thought…" Wang Sheng lowered his head and mumbled.
"You're not planning to bully the new students again, are you?"
"No, absolutely not." Wang Sheng shook his head frantically.
He feared the headmaster most.
"Good. These two new students—show them to unoccupied beds."
The work-study dormitory was spacious and plainly decorated, with few students inside.
Though they didn't each get private rooms, the place was already pretty good.
"I'm Wang Sheng—currently the boss of Dormitory Seven."
"Xiao Ze."
"I'm Tang San."
Tang San studied Xiao Ze and felt he was very steady.
Xiao Ze ignored Tang San, walked straight to his bed opposite the window,
and began unpacking.
"Is this Dormitory Seven?" a crisp voice rang out.
Xiao Ze looked instinctively.
It was a cute little girl with pinkish skin and a long scorpion braid, her big eyes sparkling.
The asura sword's scabbard had arrived.
"I'm Xiao Wu—'wu' as in dance."
Everyone's eyes nearly popped out at the sight of such an adorable Xiao Wu.
As for Xiao Ze, he had zero interest in Xiao Wu.
First, Tang Hao was around—getting close to Xiao Wu was extremely dangerous.
Second, he wasn't into little rabbits; weren't the Ice-Snow Empresses hotter, or the Purple-Jade Twins bustier?
Third, her Spirit Bones were irresistible—Paragon Golden Body and Teleportation were Heaven-Defying Spirit Abilities, and he wanted them badly.
In the shadows,
a scruffy, bearded middle-aged man stared at Xiao Wu, eyes bulging,
bloodshot and panting like a bull.
A classic outbreak of Tang Syndrome.
"A transformed ten thousand year Spirit Beast!"
"And a rabbit—what luck!"
"Pity my spirit rings are full; perfect for Little San. With a ten thousand year spirit ring and Spirit Bone, Little San can definitely take revenge on Spirit Hall."
Moments later Tang Hao calmed down, took a casual swig—some liquor dribbled from his lips.
After Xiao Wu finished fighting Tang San, she beat Wang Sheng as well,
officially becoming the boss of Dormitory Seven.
Xiao Wu then walked up to Xiao Ze.
"From now on I'm the boss of Dormitory Seven—what's your name?"
"Xiao Ze."
