Only one meter, the leaves only flew out a distance of one meter, and they were already unable to maintain their rotating posture, because they were no longer hard, leaving Tang San's fingertips, the effect of Xuan Tian Gong's internal force naturally disappeared.

  "My strength is still too weak." A helpless shake of the head. Tang San stood up, it was time to go back, today he would leave the village, next time he came to this mountain top, who knows when that would be.

  He pointed his toes at the ground, exerted force from his calf, and Tang San launched into a Ghost Shadow Perplexing Walk, heading down the mountain.

  The familiar aroma of porridge wafted up, this was the last meal he would cook for his father before leaving. Tang San naturally wouldn't be lazy about it. He took a look at the firewood under the stove and added some more water to the porridge, so that when his father woke up, he could still drink hot porridge.

  Old Jack has arrived, perhaps because he is going to Nottingham, today's Old Jack is dressed in a suit, looking a few points more spirited.

  "Come on, Little Three. Your lazy dad won't be getting up." Jack called out to Tang San.

  Tang San made a silencing gesture to Jack, "Grandfather, please keep your voice down, Father doesn't like being disturbed while he's sleeping." As he spoke, he pulled out a burning piece of charcoal from the stove and wrote a few lines on the ground. He then looked back at his father's door with a lingering gaze before shouldering his pack and quietly leaving with Jack.

  As for the words of this world, Tang San didn't know many, they were all from when he occasionally glanced at the private school in the village where children learned characters. After all, with the foundation of his previous life, he also grasped some basic characters.

  The curtain was lifted, and a tall figure walked out from the inner room. Tang Hao's eyes didn't have a hint of sleepiness. When he reached the door, he could still vaguely see Old Jack and Tang San's frail bodies.

  Tang Hao stood still, until Tang San and Village Chief Jack's figures had completely disappeared from view. He remained standing there for a long time.

  As if he had thought of something, Tang Hao suddenly turned around and walked back to the blacksmith's shop, looking at the words left on the ground by Tang San.

  "Dad, I'm leaving with Grandpa Jack. Take good care of yourself and drink less alcohol. Don't forget to drink from the porridge pot."

  His gaze shifted from the words on the ground to the iron pot beside him, and Tang Hao rushed over, sweeping open the lid of the pot with one hand and lifting it up directly with both hands.

  Just as Tang San had just added water, the porridge in the iron pot hadn't yet started boiling again, but Tang Hao didn't care and simply poured it into his mouth, swallowing big mouthfuls, his eyes somehow already having a layer of misty tears.

  On the way, Tang San quietly followed Old Jack's side, occasionally turning his head back in the direction of the village.

  "Little Three, is it that you can't bear to part with the village or can't bear to part with your drunkard old man?" Jack asked with a smile as he patted Tang San's head.

  "There is some truth to it." Tang San replied in a low voice.

  Jack smiled slightly and said, "Compared to my useless grandsons, you're a much more sensible kid. If only you were my grandson, that would be great. Tang Huo, that drunkard, is really lucky. Don't think too much about it, the outside world is vast, when you go to the academy, you'll make many friends and learn a lot of knowledge. Once you become a Soul Master, the country will give you a monthly allowance, at that time, your family's life will also get better."

  Tang San, after all, had lived two lives as a human. Listening to Jack's words, his emotions gradually returned to normal. He felt an unbearable longing for the outside world and asked: "Grandpa Jack, can you tell me about the Academy? What kind of place is it?"

  Jack smiled and said, "Of course, the academy is a place for learning. Although I haven't attended one myself, I still know quite a bit about it. Our village has a quota for work-study students every year, but no one has taken advantage of it in many years. The benefits for work-study students are numerous - they're exempt from tuition and boarding fees, and only need to pay for their own food. You can exchange simple tasks within the academy for meals. For example, sweeping classrooms. Overall, studying as a work-study student is almost like getting a free education. If you had to pay for it, it wouldn't be something people like us could afford."

  Tang San said: "Dad said, after I arrive at the academy, find an ironwork shop to work."

  "You? Go to the blacksmith's shop to work? What a joke! I think Tang Hao has really gone mad." Old Jack said in a bad tone, "You're still so young, not even as tall as a casting hammer. Which blacksmith's shop would take you on as an apprentice, anyway? Moreover, being a blacksmith is an underappreciated profession and working there won't bring in much income. You should just focus on studying well at the academy."

  "But, to be honest, if you want to achieve something in the academy, your drunkard father should have saved some money for you. The intermediate soul master academy doesn't have any work-study program slots, and it costs a lot of money to study there. Just relying on the soul master's allowance is far from enough."

  Because Tang San is a pre-birth full-soul power, Old Jack already regards him as a soul master.

  Tang San looked at Jack with a puzzled expression, saying: "Is there still an intermediate Soul Master Academy? What's the difference between it and the primary Soul Master Academy? Aren't they both academies that teach Soul Masters' knowledge?"

  "Of course it's different," Old Jack explained patiently. "The primary Soul Master Academy teaches some basic things, as well as some cultural courses to learn from. It only accepts children who have just awakened their martial soul as students, with a six-year program. By the time they're twelve years old, if there's no future in it, that's all - they'll just become an ordinary Soul Master. But if they show promise, most people will choose to go to the intermediate Soul Master Academy for further study, studying until they're eighteen years old. The intermediate Soul Master Academy teaches more advanced things, but the difficulty of learning also increases greatly. If you can't meet the academy's requirements, you won't be able to graduate smoothly. This is different from the primary Soul Master Academy."
