Of course, Xiao Tian was just joking; he wasn't that desperate. The rewards he'd already received were enough for him to digest for a while, and he had just finished a fight, so too much would be counterproductive.
And with such a treasure trove, Xiao Tian wasn't in a hurry to go to Nuoding City's Spirit Hall branch to register his spirit power and receive Spirit Hall's subsidy.
In fact, he had no intention of registering at all right now.
Soon, a year passed.
During this year,
Xiao Tian would occasionally torment Tang San and spar with Xiao Wu, and his own strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
However, it was regrettable that he hadn't received many good rewards from the system during this year.
This made him a little confused. Did the system give too many rewards at the beginning, causing it to become weak in the middle?
Initially, this system would even remind him not to constantly flirt with death, lest Tang Hao see his son continuously losing and decide to act.
Xiao Tian, however, didn't think much of it. As long as he didn't go too far, Tang Hao might even be grateful to him.
Grateful that he ignited Tang San's fighting Spirit, making him cultivate even harder.
Therefore, after tormenting Tang San about ten times, Xiao Tian would intentionally reveal a flaw, making Tang San believe he was close to defeating him, thus keeping him on the hook.
"Xiao Tian, Xiao Wu, tomorrow is the holiday. Do you have any plans? I'm going back to the village to see my father. If you two are free, would you like to come with me?"
Tang San extended the invitation to both of them, but his gaze kept drifting towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu didn't speak but looked at Xiao Tian.
She would go wherever Xiao Tian went. Her spirit power had increased the fastest among the three this year, but regrettably, she was still no match for Xiao Tian, and she didn't even know what level of spirit power Xiao Tian possessed.
Then why did she know her cultivation was the highest?
Naturally, it was Xiao Tian who revealed it.
Although she would get spanked every time she was defeated by Xiao Tian, she gradually found that she seemed to be getting used to it, and after each time, she had an indescribable feeling that allowed her to concentrate more on her cultivation afterward.
Xiao Tian was silent for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.
Anyway, the holiday was quite long. He could first follow Tang San to Saint Spirit Village, and then return to Craft Soul Village to see Grandpa Village Chief.
Seeing Xiao Wu seeking Xiao Tian's opinion, Tang San felt a bit displeased inside, but he endured it.
After a year, he had finally somewhat integrated into Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu's group. When the time was right, he should be able to ask Xiao Tian those more private questions, right?
Even now, he didn't believe that Xiao Tian was truly that strong, capable of possessing multiple Sword Skills, and he still didn't know what Xiao Tian's Spirit Abilities were. Every time he asked,
Xiao Tian would say,
"I am a Sword Cultivator; I don't value Spirit Abilities, only the Sword Intent. As long as my Sword Dao improves, it also helps with the improvement of my spirit power cultivation."
Xiao Tian was subtly brainwashing Tang San and Xiao Wu.
After all, his cultivation couldn't be hidden for too long. When it was exposed, he would need a legitimate and suitable reason.
"I'm following another path of cultivation. Does the improvement of Sword Intent accelerating my spirit power cultivation speed not make sense?"
"I think it makes perfect sense!"
Hehe.
"Dare you expose me?!"
Moreover, he had a purpose in going to Saint Spirit Village this time. If he wasn't mistaken,
Early the next morning, the three set off.
Along the way, the three were not in a hurry to travel, but walked and stopped, only arriving at Saint Spirit Village at noon the next day.
As soon as they arrived at Saint Spirit Village, Tang San couldn't wait and rushed directly to his house, shouting loudly,
"Dad, I'm back!"
And as soon as he stepped into Saint Spirit Village, as he expected, the system's voice once again exploded in his mind!
"Ding! Warning! Warning! The Douluo plane's Core of Life (integrated into the Ancient Tree of Life), Ah Yin, has been discovered in the back mountain cave of Saint Spirit Village. Her strength is extremely powerful. The host is advised to keep a low profile!"
After so many warnings, although the system already knew that its host was not a low-key person, it had professional ethics, and it still had to admonish!
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Tian's mouth. Sure enough, as he expected, if he took Ah Yin away from Saint Spirit Village and kneaded her freely, would he also be able to trigger the system's critical strike reward?
Of course, it would be very proper kneading. His taste wasn't that heavy yet.
And he could also freeload a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
However, if he remembered correctly, that place was set up with a formation by Tang Hao. If the box containing the Blue Silver Emperor Leg Bone was moved, Tang Hao would immediately sense it.
No rush, no rush. He had plenty of patience.
Anyway, according to the current situation, Tang Hao wouldn't give Tang San the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone in advance until his level reached forty or fifty.
And Old Jack heard the sound and walked out of the house. Seeing Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu at the village entrance, he smiled and nodded.
"You two must be Little San's classmates, right? Come with me, let's go find Little San together."
Xiao Tian and the other also nodded and followed behind.
This was his first time seeing Old Jack. He was indeed as amiable as described in the original work.
Subsequently, Old Jack naturally gave Tang San a letter left by Tang Hao, telling him that his father had left for something.
Xiao Tian secretly chuckled. Tang Hao left for nothing; he was just hiding nearby!
Tang San looked at the letter and took a deep breath. He knew that his father must be hiding something from him.
He guessed that his father was very likely also a hidden expert, just like those sweeping monks in the Sect in his previous life, looking inconspicuous but actually one of the most powerful people in the Sect.
Moreover, he had studied theoretical knowledge with his teacher for a year, so he naturally knew that the inheritance of Spirit came from parents, and the stronger the Spirit, the higher the innate spirit power.
His Spirits were Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer, which were his mother's and father's Spirits.
And not only his father, but even his teacher said that he must not reveal the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit unless absolutely necessary.
Could it be that there would be serious consequences after showing the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit to outsiders?
Like being hunted down by others?
Tang San was not a superficial child. The Tang Sect he came from in his previous life was an assassin Sect, so he understood such matters even more.
Tang San murmured, "Dad, wait for me. I will cultivate diligently. Sooner or later, I will be strong enough for you to tell me the truth yourself!"
However, since his father had already left Saint Spirit Village, there was no need for him to return again in the future.
Tang San wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and thanked Old Jack faintly.
