Tang San gazed in disbelief, first at Wang Li's Blue Silver Grass and then at his own. Despite both being Blue Silver Grass, the difference was staggering. At that moment, he couldn't help but question Yu Xiaogang, who had clearly stated that Blue Silver Grass possessed no potential for mutation. Yet, seeing Wang Li's robust and upright Blue Silver Grass, he wondered if it truly was a variant.
"Wow, that's huge..."
"And so thick..."
The others around them gasped in astonishment, and upon comparing it to Tang San's thin and delicate Blue Silver Grass, they became convinced that Wang Li's spirit was indeed a variant.
Having achieved his goal, Wang Li retracted his spirit.
He then turned to rummage through the bundles he had brought, retrieving a bag of fruit and placing it before everyone. He announced, "These are the fruits the villagers gave me when I came here. Everyone, please help yourselves—after all, we'll be dormmates from now on."
Upon hearing this, the crowd wasted no time. Eyeing the red and green fruits, they couldn't help but salivate as they expressed their gratitude and reached out eagerly.
Wang Li watched with a smile as he picked out six or seven fruits and presented them to Xiao Wu. "Sister Xiao Wu, these are for you."
As a ten-thousand-year-old rabbit spirit, Xiao Wu loved juicy fruits and vegetables. Her eyes lit up with delight as she accepted the fruits and replied, "You've got good taste! From now on, Sister Xiao Wu will look out for you."
Wang Li chuckled at her words, responding, "Then I'll thank you, Sister Xiao Wu."
Wang Li's thoughts were straightforward; he didn't like being in debt to anyone. In the future, if this ten-thousand-year-old rabbit spirit were pursued by a Titled Douluo, he could escape without guilt.
As long as he hadn't reached the rank of Titled Douluo, he had no intention of making enemies of them; he preferred a gaming experience without the threat of being hunted.
Looking back, he noticed everyone was enjoying the fruits he had brought. Wang Sheng had even taken two, one in each hand.
The only one feeling awkward was Tang San, who stood there unsure of what to do.
Seeing this, Wang Li silently worried. He quickly grabbed two fruits and shoved them into Tang San's hands, saying, "Tang San, you should eat too. They might look a bit unripe, but they taste quite good."
Tang San hesitated for a moment as he held the fruits, finally muttering, "Thank you."
Wang Li chuckled softly in response, not saying more. As long as Tang San didn't hold a grudge over this, he was fine; he didn't want to invite trouble over two fruits.
While munching on her fruit, Xiao Wu asked, "Can someone tell me what our school life will be like from now on?"
Among them, Wang Sheng was the oldest, a sixth-year student. After swallowing the fruit pulp in his mouth, he explained, "Yesterday was the old students' report day, today is for new students to register, tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and the day after is when classes officially begin. In the morning, there are two classes: one on cultural knowledge and another on spirit knowledge. The afternoon is reserved for self-directed training."
"For those self-financed students, the afternoon is entirely theirs to manage. However, as work-study students, we must clean parts of the campus in the afternoon to earn money for meals."
"Specific tasks will be assigned by teachers. Once we complete these tasks, we can train freely. For example, I'm currently a Level 9 Soul Master. Once I reach Level 10, a teacher will take me hunting for soul beasts at graduation. After I obtain a soul ring, I will truly become a Soul Master and officially graduate; otherwise, the academy won't recognize it."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu felt the fruit in her hand lose its appeal and asked in confusion, "Do we really have to hunt soul beasts?"
Wang Sheng nodded firmly in response, "Of course! Without a soul ring, how can you become a Soul Master?"
Xiao Wu lowered her head in silence, her thoughts a mystery.
After a moment, a voice suddenly called from outside the dormitory: "The three new students, please come out."
Wang Sheng immediately explained, "It's the teacher."
Wang Li, Tang San, and Xiao Wu promptly set aside their tasks and quickly stepped outside.
A middle-aged teacher with green hair stood there, holding a bedding set. Upon seeing the three of them, he asked, "Who is Tang San?"
Tang San stepped forward without hesitation. "Teacher, I am."
The middle-aged teacher continued, "My name is Mo Hen; you can call me Teacher Mo. Tang San, this is the bedding that the Master prepared for you. You three should take some time today to familiarize yourselves with the campus. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Wang Sheng—he's the oldest student here."
"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, so don't be late. The day after that, classes officially begin. You'll also be responsible for cleaning part of the campus, specifically the garden south of the playground. You'll earn ten copper soul coins a day for your efforts. Make sure to clean thoroughly; any debris must be removed. I'll be checking regularly. If it's not clean, you'll have your pay deducted, and in severe cases, you could be expelled."
As he spoke, he handed the bedding to Tang San and left quickly.
Once Teacher Mo departed, Xiao Wu's attention shifted to Tang San's bedding, while Wang Li turned and returned to the dormitory.
He thought to himself, I have a panel that allows me to gain experience, so my cultivation will undoubtedly progress faster than usual. Once I reach Level 10, I'll probably have to rely on the academy's teachers to hunt for soul beasts, just like Wang Sheng.
Wang Li didn't consider hunting soul beasts himself; entering the Soul Hunting Forest required a special permit, and the wild soul beast forests were far too dangerous. As an unconnected commoner, he could only obtain a soul ring with the academy's assistance.
Once inside the dormitory, Wang Li immediately spread out the bedding he had brought from home on the bed he had chosen. After finishing this, he checked his injuries.
His body no longer ached much, as the wounds were just superficial. They hadn't damaged his muscles or bones and hadn't caused any real harm; he only felt that his soul power had been somewhat depleted.
However, that small amount of lost soul power could quickly restore his injuries, which was impressive.
With this single advantage, he wouldn't say he'd be invincible in the future, but his survival abilities would significantly improve. If he reached a high level of cultivation, he could instantly recover from any injury, which would be truly terrifying.
Wang Li had genuinely experienced the effect of his recovery; after healing, he felt his physique strengthened, though he didn't notice any drastic changes and was unsure of the extent of its effect.
It seemed he would need to engage in battles continuously—not only to gain more experience but also to understand how far his resilience could strengthen his body.
