Chương 49: Chapter 49: Tang San and Xiao Wu
Seeing the situation, Su Cheng didn't immediately approach. Instead, he stayed in place with the old village chief, chatting while secretly observing the scene unfolding not far away.
The subsequent events unfolded as in the original story. Yu Xiaogang intervened to resolve the conflict between the two parties and led Tang San into the academy.
Su Cheng understood immediately that there was no difference between the timeline in the real world and the original.
However, he felt a sense of gravity in his heart.
Tang San wasn't the issue; it was the deity behind him, his status as the Son of Destiny, and the troublesome father who liked to observe his son's growth from the shadows.
As he watched the two walk away, Su Cheng said to Wang Pan, "Village Chief, you can go back now. I'll enter the academy by myself."
"Alright, Xiaocheng, listen to the teachers in the academy and don't leave without permission. I'll come to pick you up when the semester ends."
"I understand, Village Chief. Take care on your way back."
Once Wang Pan left, Su Cheng approached the entrance of the academy alone.
In the center of the imposing archway was written "Nuoding Academy" in large characters.
The young gatekeeper, who had just been scolded by Yu Xiaogang, couldn't help but mutter to himself when he saw another plain-looking teenager approaching the gate. However, he still stepped forward to intercept.
"What are you here for?"
"I'm a work-study student from Wang Su Village. Here's the certificate issued by the steward of the Martial Soul Hall."
"Wang Su Village? Never heard of it." The gatekeeper took the certificate from Su Cheng and glanced at it. "0.5-level innate soul power? You're just a nobody in terms of soul master students."
He was about to make a sarcastic remark to lighten his mood, but when he met Su Cheng's calm gaze, he felt a momentary pause.
Although the boy in front of him looked very young and wore simple clothes, there was a certain aura about him that seemed out of the ordinary, not like someone from an ordinary family.
For a moment, the gatekeeper was at a loss for words.
"Can I go in now?" Su Cheng asked calmly.
"Oh? Uh, yes, you may enter."
Seeing the gatekeeper step aside, he nodded and took back his certificate, entering the academy.
Due to the lack of guidance, Su Cheng spent some effort completing the enrollment procedures.
"I'll stay in the academy for two days first, then I need to make some money. It's not convenient to stay here."
Thinking to himself, he made his way to the mixed-gender work-study student dormitory.
"Another new student?"
As he pushed open the door, a crisp, slightly spoiled voice sounded from inside the room.
"Hey, I'm the boss of this dorm. You can call me Sister Xiaowu."
As she spoke, a girl with long braids turned to look at him.
At that moment of eye contact, Xiaowu's body suddenly froze, and her words caught in her throat.
Not far away, Tang San, who had been observing the girl, suddenly noticed her body trembling slightly.
Of course, it wasn't because Xiaowu was impressed by Su Cheng's appearance; she was scared.
In that instant, Xiaowu remembered being a weak Rabbit in the face of the top hunters in the Spirit Beast Forest.
In her eyes, there seemed to be sword shadows flashing, like a giant wolf hunting and ready to pounce on her at any moment.
Su Cheng paid no attention to Xiaowu and continued into the room.
He had no particular thoughts about Xiaowu. Although he knew she was a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, with decent soul ring and soul bone skills, they were not compatible with his attributes, so obtaining them would be meaningless.
In contrast, his goal was the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bones.
As for soul skills, he wasn't particularly concerned. After all, it was just a special way of energy manipulation. Once he understood the principles behind it, with his medical expertise and combat understanding, he could find many combat techniques better than ordinary soul ring skills.
Suddenly, Su Cheng paused.
Hostility, even a hint of faint killing intent.
He was somewhat surprised and turned to look at the boy behind Xiaowu.
Such heavy hostility.
While knowing that Tang San would go crazy when something happened to Xiaowu, they had only recently met, if he remembered correctly. Besides, he hadn't done anything. Was it necessary for Tang San to be so aggressive?
Then, he glanced at Xiaowu's current state and realized something. It seemed that because she had only recently entered human society, some of her innate spirit beast instincts hadn't completely faded away, making her more sensitive to danger.
"What did you just do?" Tang San said coldly, raising his left hand slightly.
According to the rules of the Tang Sect: Tang Sect disciples should not easily provoke disputes, but if provoked, they must respond decisively.
From the Tang Sect's Xuantian Catalog General Outline: Once the opponent is determined to be an enemy and presents a mortal threat, there should be no mercy, otherwise, it will only bring trouble.
From Tang San's gaze, the students in this academy were just a bunch of kids, and some conflicts were just minor scuffles. He had no intention of getting into a conflict with kids. But Xiaowu's current state was obviously not just a minor conflict.
She was trembling like a mouse facing a cat, almost losing her balance, which was a stark contrast to her lively appearance when they first entered the room, indicating something unusual.
Tang San didn't plan to kill anyone here, but he did intend to test the depth of the young man in front of him.
The sleeve arrow on his wrist was ready to move.
Su Cheng furrowed his brow slightly, his eyes shifting.
"Kid, you'd better put that away," he said as he looked at Tang San.
Feeling the pressure as Su Cheng's gaze met his, Tang San suddenly felt like he was in the depths of the sea, enveloped by heavy pressure, unable to move.
At that moment, a hand reached out towards him.
Tang San's pupils dilated, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He struggled against the pressure but still found it difficult to break free. However, the hand on his shoulder just patted him lightly.
"Don't bother me."
Before understanding the relationship between Asura God and Tang San, Su Cheng didn't want to get too involved with Tang San. Moreover, there was Tang Hao lurking in the shadows, who was someone he couldn't handle.
After warning Tang San, Su Cheng walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, pressing his forehead with his fingers.
"The pressure from the Sword Intent is too great, making it impossible to completely suppress. It's fine when facing ordinary people, but if someone has a bit of spirit power, they can sense something is off with just one glance. It's better to avoid contact with people until I adjust my state completely."
On the other side, Tang San only relaxed slightly at this point.
With a wary look at Su Cheng who was meditating with closed eyes, he clenched his fists and silently returned to his own bed, forgetting to comfort Xiaowu for a while.
In this tense atmosphere, the other students in the dormitory dared not speak, pretending to be busy with their own affairs.
There had been too many changes today, leaving these children feeling overwhelmed.
First, there was a freak with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul but full innate spirit power, easily defeating the previous dormitory leader, Wang Sheng.
Then, another girl arrived and defeated the previous freak, Tang San.
Finally, this person was even more terrifying; just one glance made the other two speechless.
