The students of dorm 7, left for lunch. Lin Tian also left with them. But he didn't join with them for lunch, instead he bought his own and sat at a different corner ignoring what is happening there. A formal student called out to Wang Sheng from second floor.
" Oh if it isn't Wang Sheng and his gang of beggers. Are you all here for lunch? I'm feeling generous today and can leave my leftovers. Do you want them? After all you're all poor right ", then he saw Xiao Wu and said," oh there is a cute girl among you. How about you leave them and become my play thing? I'll give you some gold coins in return ".
Xiao Wu jumped and attacked Xiao Chenyu with furious look. Liu Long beside him who is a staff wielder tried to counter attack but Tang San appeared and deflected the blow. Just when the tension is going to escalate a voice stopped them.
" How dare they lay a hand on me? Attack ", the formal students are going to attack when a man spoke," don't you all know that fighting in the cafeteria is prohibited. All students breaching this rule will be punished. Do you want to accept your punishment or will you all leave this here and leave? ".
Yu Xiaogang then turned to Tang San and said," Tang San, come to the second floor with me. Teacher will treat you today ", but Tang San refused," no teacher. We all decided to eat together today. Forgive me for refusing your request ". As Yu Xiaogang left, Wang Sheng said," Tang San you accepted grand master as your teacher ".
Tang San turned to Wang Sheng with a frown," that guy is a fraud and freeloader. He never teaches anyone in the Nouding Junior Academy and always free loads in this academy because he is friends with the dean. How can you accept him as your teacher? ".
Tang San expression is cold," Wang Sheng, watch your tongue. I'll not tolerate someone slandering my teacher. This is first and last time I'll tolerate you bad mouthing my teacher. If you repeat this, don't blame me for being cruel. I lost appetite you guys go and eat ".
He left while Lin Tian looked astonished. Lin Tian shook his head, he needs to apply for the first soul ring too. He will ask the Dean for the soul ring hunt tomorrow. As for Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, he will wait until they're gone to do this. He won't involve himself with Tang San anytime soon since he already got what he wanted.
Lin Tian stretched his limbs that day after cultivating his special exercises modified from mysterious heaven record. As Lin Tian arrived at the academy, he first entered the library and then started looking for soul beasts that can match his characteristics. As he absorbed the knowledge into the library finally he got the answer to his next path from the library of Heaven's path.
Ink Jade Bamboo, Jade Vine, White Ivy, Vine Lotus, Brilliant Jade Vine, Thunder Jade Vine, Pure Yang Lotus, Saint Sun flower and lastly Dark Yin Lotus.
But the ones with the most compatibility and early stage use is the Brilliant Jade given, Saint Sun Flower and Pure Yang Lotus. After thinking for a while and weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose the same Pure Yang Lotus. Because this ability can allow him to get a trait to his martial soul, records gave a mutation in martial soul and also a chance to develop a trait to allow one to absorb sun light to some limit.
Yang attribute is good for him. After choosing the soul beast he went straight to the dean to apply for soul ring hunt.
*Knock* *knock*
" Dean, can I come in? ", Lin Tian asked. He scanned the dean previously and knew he is a good who favoured those with talent. He is also someone who treats the children kindly. That's why he is here.
The dean told Lin Tian to come in. As Lin Tian appeared, the dean asked," you must be Lin Tian. I heard about you from the teachers. You're someone with full innate soul power right? Are you here to apply for your first soul ring hunt? ".
Lin Tian nodded. He is indeed here to hunt soul rings. The dean said with a sigh," if you're a few hours early, I would have sent you with grandmaster. He left with his disciple to hunt for soul rings. But that's fine, I'll take you personally for soul ring hunt ".
The dean smiled at Lin Tian and took him to hunt for soul ring. He left his duties to the vice dean for now. They left in a normal carriage and will arrive in the soul hunting forest in a few hours. The dean prepared some necessities for them to stay in the soul hunting forest temporarily.
On the way, The dean asked Lin Tian what kind of soul beast he wants and it's age. Lin Tian told him he wants a Pure Yang Lotus of more than 300 years old surprising the dean. Lin Tian didn't want to say he is going to absorb a soul ring of even more years.
As Lin Tian and the dean arrived at the soul hunting forest, they saw the huge wall and gate in front of them. Lin Tian looked astonished at the height of this wall. And the gate is also made of iron not wood. The dean submitted his token to the guard who allowed him inside the soul hunting forest.
As they entered the soul hunting forest, many growls and roars can be heard. The dean arranged their tent and poured some beast repelling powder before telling Lin Tian to go to sleep. The next day they came across a limping Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
Tang San looked at Lin Tian with a not so surprised gaze. Seeing You Xiaogang like this, the dean asked," what happened to you Grandmaster? You pale, could it be you're poisoned by a soul beast. That's why I told you take a teacher to accompany you ".
