Early the next morning.
Tang San woke up early to absorb the purple qi of the morning, then quietly packed some luggage and went to find Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang was going to take him to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his first spirit ring.
After Tang San left the dormitory, Xiao Tian suddenly opened his eyes, first looking at the door, then at Xiao Wu who was still sleeping beside him.
Pat pat pat!
Pat pat pat!
Xiao Tian gently patted Xiao Wu's delicate, flawless cheek, which was soft and tender. He couldn't resist pinching and rubbing it a couple of times.
"Wake up quickly, the sun's on your butt! Didn't you say you wanted to cultivate properly? A day's planning starts in the morning, hurry up and get up!"
"Time to eat!"
Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes sleepily, mumbling indistinctly, "Huh? Time to eat? Is it that late already?"
As soon as Xiao Wu heard there was food, her little ears twitched.
Xiao Tian smiled helplessly. Last night she said she would wake up earlier than him to cultivate, but here she was, still sleeping at this hour.
Xiao Tian looked at the sun that had already risen outside.
Xiao Wu reluctantly got up, quickly washed up, and then went outside with Xiao Tian.
Hmm?
Why didn't he hear the system's warning sound today?
"System, check if Tang Hao is around?"
[Ding, Host, the God of Slaughter Tang Hao is not around.]
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Xiao Tian's mouth. His mental force wasn't high right now, but he could use this idiotic system to detect whether Tang Hao was around.
Tang Hao probably followed Tang San and Yu Xiaogang from a distance, secretly protecting Tang San.
In other words, in the original work, even if Tang San hadn't revealed his Hidden Weapons, Tang Hao would most likely have stepped in to save him.
Originally, he had been wondering if Tang Hao wouldn't bother with Tang San, but instead monitor Xiao Wu near the academy.
But now, on second thought, this was normal. Xiao Wu didn't know her identity as a 100,000-year Spirit Beast had been discovered, and since she had enrolled, she most likely wouldn't run away.
As for Tang San's side, Yu Xiaogang was also stubborn. He had no combat power himself, yet he didn't seek help from others, taking Tang San alone to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts. Wasn't that just pure suicide?
Thinking of how Yu Xiaogang turned the Golden Holy Dragon's cub into a pig that could only fart, he found it amusing. Was such a person worthy of being called a Grandmaster of theory?
Presumably, any Spirit Master who didn't know much about theory, but had such a Spirit and a low innate spirit power, if there was truly hope for improvement, would definitely try their best to absorb a Spirit Beast close to their limit and within their ability to hunt as a spirit ring!
However, not everyone had a background like Yu Xiaogang. Starting with half a level of innate spirit power and being able to reach level twenty-nine was already a miracle!
Since Tang Hao was secretly protecting Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, he could also start his own actions.
After all, he had already reached level ten spirit power, and it was time for him to find a suitable spirit ring for himself.
Although not absorbing a spirit ring temporarily allowed for spirit power accumulation, absorbing a spirit ring could enhance various attributes of oneself, making cultivation relatively faster.
Moreover, after absorbing a spirit ring, his total spirit power could increase. He had many Sword moves that required continuous spirit power consumption, so total spirit power was very important to him!
It's decided! Tomorrow morning, he would go to another nearby Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his first spirit ring!
For the first hour, Xiao Tian practiced swinging his sword and other moves as usual.
Following that, Xiao Tian placed his iron sword aside and summoned his Spirit, Sword Fifteen.
Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Tian with some confusion, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Fifteen, today we're going to practice a new move, Sword Flight! Can you use your own power to help me fly?"
Xiao Tian made an unrealistic request.
Clang~~
Fifteen's entire sword body suddenly went limp, and its sword tip, with great sentience, pointed towards Xiao Tian, swaying left and right.
Sword Fifteen: This concubine cannot do it!
Xiao Wu couldn't help but say, "Xiao Tian, I wanted to ask before, your Spirit feels very sentient, but... your request is too excessive, isn't it? Fifteen is just a sword. If you want it to carry you, it still needs spirit power support, right?"
Xiao Tian laughed, "My Spirit is quite special and possesses a certain sentience. I prefer to call it a Wisdom Spirit, or you can think of my Sword Spirit as having a Sword Spirit. But are you sure my request is excessive?"
Xiao Tian looked at the limp Fifteen, his eyes darting around.
"Fifteen, are you sure you don't want to try? Look at Xiao Wu beside me. Although her figure isn't great, her face is quite good, even if she has a bit of baby fat. How about you take her for a spin?"
Ding!
The originally limp Fifteen instantly returned to its original state. The entire sword left Xiao Tian's hand and appeared in front of Xiao Wu.
Xiao Tian: ...
Xiao Tian was truly speechless. Fifteen really had such a dog-like personality. As long as the other person was a beautiful woman, the sword's attitude would do a complete 180-degree turn. Couldn't it be nicer to him, its owner?
It truly was, Sword... Double Standard... Fifteen!
Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Tian with some hesitation. To be honest, she was still a little scared.
Even if Fifteen could really carry her flying in the air, if she accidentally fell from a high altitude, she would probably go to see her mother.
Xiao Tian glared fiercely at Sword Fifteen below him, then waved his hand and said, "You can try standing on it. Let Fifteen just hover a few centimeters off the ground, and try walking with you at a low altitude."
Xiao Wu saw that Xiao Tian wasn't angry, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Fifteen was willing to carry her, but 'unwilling' to carry Xiao Tian, which made Xiao Wu feel strange, because no matter what, a Spirit should be completely controlled by its owner.
Xiao Wu didn't know that if Xiao Tian had even the slightest hint of dislike in his heart, Sword Fifteen would not have been able to do such a thing. The reason it came to Xiao Wu's side now was more due to Xiao Tian's subtle hints in his words.
Subsequently, Xiao Wu tentatively stepped onto Sword Fifteen with both feet, trying to maintain her balance. Sword Fifteen then slowly carried her around the lawn.
Meanwhile, Xiao Tian felt his spirit power consumption suddenly accelerate significantly. Indeed... this wasn't Fifteen's power being consumed, but his own spirit power!
However, Xiao Wu only experienced it for a short while; she was still a bit unaccustomed to it.
Then, under Xiao Tian's control, Fifteen was forcibly returned to Xiao Tian's feet. Now it was his turn to try it out!
Xiao Tian's right index and middle fingers were held together, and a burst of Sword Intent suddenly appeared, pointing at Fifteen below. Fifteen's sword body became much sharper, enveloped by a faint Sword Intent.
Xiao Tian intended to use Sword Intent to reduce spirit power consumption. He didn't know if this was a wild idea. In his previous life, whether watching TV dramas or anything else, those who flew with swords always had their sword bodies enveloped by a faint aura. This was perhaps one of the reasons why Sword Flight looked so cool.
