章節 28: Chapter 28: I'm Leaving
We got home pretty quickly, no, actually we did…
" …. Huh…. Huh…. Huh…. Huh…"
" How? Is this my victory again?"
"Brother Yang, you are very fast. I obviously lost in physical strength and now I lose in speed."
"Hehe, you are still a hundred years too early to surpass me."
"See, your breathing isn't even getting heavy, you aren't sweating either."
"Hehe, Xiao San, going up and down that hill has become my regular practice. There's no way I'll get tired just from running down the mountain."
I chuckled at Xiao San's confession. True, earlier on the way back.
Unable to accept being defeated in a practice spar, he challenged me to a running race. Whoever reaches the house first wins.
And the result is as already told, I won. Xiao San's not to be outdone nature was the only thing that showed that he was still a child.
"Haahhh…. Phew….."
After letting out a long breath, Xiao San regained his composure and walked towards the kitchen.
" What will be serving this morning?"
I asked him, usually the food that Xiao San cooks is always the same. What he cooked was porridge with a little bit of spices.
"Today is just like brother Yang made last night."
" Okay…"
All I do is walk to the bathroom, it feels so good when I take a shower after finishing practice.
It took me some time to finish showering, after drying off. I walked towards the table with my sword in hand.
Sitting on a chair, I picked up my sword to appraise it.
I looked at my two swords… their condition was already bad. They were the swords I asked Tang Hao three years ago.
Even though the size has decreased, did I grow bigger to make this sword look small?
In these three years, I have always used this sword for training and hunting.
Because I'm not very good at maintaining swords. Now the two swords were rusty and the blades dull.
I intend to return this Sword to Tang Hao and request a new sword. I would like to request that a high quality sword be made.
Even to ask such a thing from the stingy Tang Hao, but I have to force it.
Those two swords will be my attacker and protector. Therefore, I must request a sword of high quality.
The kitchen door opened, there Xiao San brought dishes and placed them on the table.
Passing out the plates, Xiao San passed each plate with the same amount of rice and meat.
"Dad, time to eat."
After calling Tang Hao, Xiao San sat on his own seat and waited for Tang Hao to come.
Tang Hao came as usual, his sleepy eyes showing indifference. His clothes were also very dirty and shabby, his hair was like a bird's nest and his beard looked like it had never been trimmed.
He sat down as usual and immediately took the plate on the table.
Breakfast was very quiet and calm, no one spoke. But every once in a while, I notice that Tang Hao occasionally glances at Xiao San.
What is this? Was it because of what happened last night? Why did Tang Hao look doubtful?
After breakfast was over, just as Xiao San was about to go to clean up the dirty dishes, Tang Hao called out to him.
"Wait Xiao San, before you settle things. I want to ask you, do you really want to become a Spirit Master?"
Xiao San was dazed for a while, he was taken aback by his father's question. But he still nodded slowly in response.
"I see, in the end you will also go down that path…"
Tang Hao sighed, his expression one of disappointment but also satisfaction for some reason.
"This afternoon, come to the smithy. I'll teach you how to use a hammer properly. If you meet my conditions, you may become a Spirit Master."
Xiao San looked pleased, his face beaming. I also feel happy for you, Xiao San.
Tang Hao walked out of the room, But before that, I have some things to discuss with Tang Hao.
"Uncle Hao, wait don't go yet."
" What is it?"
His expression was displeased, and he was extremely intimidating. But I shouldn't be afraid, I who once died from being eaten by a dragon would not be afraid of something like this.
"I want to request a new sword from you."
"Don't you already have it?"
"I want a real sword, one that is of high quality. At least its sharpness is enough to injure a 10,000 year old Spirit Beast."
"Brat, what are you asking for a sword like that? A sword like that is already a high value heirloom."
"Uncle Hao, I want to go. I will go to the city to train there. I will also look for Spirit Rings to absorb.
I'm currently level 20 and in a bottleneck. To break through I need a Spirit Ring."
"Absorb Spirit Ring?"
Tang Hao asked in surprise.
"A brat like you, what can you do alone? Don't act stupid and throw your life away for nothing."
"Believe it or not, I will still do it."
Tang Hao was speechless when he saw my stubborn gaze.
"Kid, I seriously ask, what can you do to absorb Spirit Ring? What do you know?"
I actually don't really know how to absorb Spirit Rings, but I thought I would know if I saw one.
Indeed this is a very dangerous goal. I think of my strength being at the level of a top-level Spirit Grandmaster.
But that assessment was based on the Spirit Grandmaster's strength that I saw six years ago, I myself wasn't too sure of my level of strength.
But there is a saying that I believe, the higher the risk the higher the reward.
Right now, I have to think of a way to convince Tang Hao.
"I have the knowledge I need. I'm also prepared to fight Spirit Beasts."
"Don't be cocky, brat. You think I don't know? Just because you practice with that toy sword a lot, you think you're strong?"
Tang Hao said with a trace of disdain in his words.
But I have to stay firm, because no matter what happens I will still go. Even if I don't get the sword from Tang Hao.
Aren't there still a lot of people selling weapons in the city? I requested a sword from Tang Hao simply because the quality it makes is better than others.
Not that I have to use the sword Tang Hao created.
Seeing that I was a stubborn person and couldn't change my mind, Tang Hao changed his way of persuading.
"Just come with Xiao San to enter Nouding Academy in six months."
You say it, does that mean Tang Hao already made his decision to let Tang San become Spirit Master?
But that's not my problem now, I shook my head and said
"The quota to enter Nouding academy for Holy Spirit Village is only one person, that's just for Tang San."
That's right but also wrong. The quota to enter Nouding Academy is indeed one person, but if you want, I can enter by paying.
Finally Tang Hao gave up on persuading me, and sighed.
"When are you leaving?"
"After I got my sword."
After a moment of silence, Tang Hao nodded his head then replied.
"Very well, since your request is too high, I will need some time to complete it. Wait until then."
After saying that, Tang Hao waved his hand and left to leave the room.
