As for whether Tang Hao would pack up and flee overnight with Tang San after receiving the anonymous letter?
In Chu Chengzhou’s view, as long as Tang Hao wasn’t out of his mind, he would definitely believe it.
Blue Silver Grass with Innate full Soul Power was abnormal no matter how one looked at it; the Nuoding City Spirit Hall sending people to investigate Tang San’s family background and reporting the news along the way was absolutely reasonable.
At that time, upon learning that his son had awakened twin spirits and possessed Innate full Soul Power, Tang Hao would see hope for his revenge.
He certainly wouldn’t think of acting recklessly; he would surely choose the safe route and flee with his son.
In this way, he could drive Tang Hao and his son away without creating any unknown risks.
The plan was practically perfect!
“Not bad, that’s exactly what I’ll do!”
Chu Chengzhou nodded with satisfaction.
Afterward, Chu Chengzhou began his first Meditation Cultivation session in this life.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
That morning, a well-dressed Chu Chengzhou followed his grandfather, Su Nan, to enroll at Nuoding Academy.
As a ‘dropout,’ Chu Chengzhou was actually quite resistant to going to school again, because it reminded him of the saying, ‘The sea of learning is boundless, diligence is the boat!’
Although this boat was not that boat, it was still a boat.
However, he definitely had to go to Nuoding Academy.
Moreover, since everyone was a Spirit Master or a trainee Spirit Master, everything centered on Soul Power.
Even if one became a poor student, the teachers wouldn’t care much, so the coursework could be considered very relaxed.
Furthermore, in the eyes of parents who were educated people, a child not going to school was undoubtedly a total heresy.
Even if Chu Chengzhou didn’t want to go, Su Nan and Li Wan, as the Dean and a teacher, would force him to attend school.
Two months since his Spirit Awakening, two months of using his cheat, and two months of Chu Chengzhou working hard on his Cultivation.
As for the results?
Sorry, in terms of Rank, he was still the type that got rounded down.
Chu Chengzhou: “I am guilty; I’ve brought shame to transmigrators!”
Similarly, the Spirit that required one hundred days of idling to upgrade hadn’t shown any changes.
However, the Meditation skill hanging in the second idle slot had undergone some changes.
[Skill: Meditation (White)]
A month ago, the gray-level Meditation skill had upgraded to the white level.
Although the white level was still trash, Chu Chengzhou could feel that his Soul Power Cultivation speed had increased by more than twenty percent compared to before.
However, hindered by his poor foundation, although a twenty percent increase was not insignificant, it was still very limited.
After the Meditation skill upgraded, Chu Chengzhou didn’t switch to any other skills for idling.
Currently, among the three aspects of physical fitness, Mental Energy, and Soul Power, Soul Power was the most important.
Upgrading Radio Calisthenics and Eye Exercises into Body Refining and Spirit Refining skills?
Those two could be put aside for now.
As for the yellow-level Meditation skill?
The idle time required had increased by more than three times compared to before; it would take a full one hundred days, so he would have to wait more than two months.
Nuoding City was a remote, small city, and the city scale wasn’t large.
Additionally, Nuoding Academy was also located in the west of the city.
Su Nan was the Dean of Nuoding Academy and counted as the powerful elite class (limited to Nuoding City), living in ‘top-tier school district housing’ that was less than three hundred meters away from the academy gate.
Not long after walking, they arrived at Nuoding Academy.
What came into view was a tall archway, twenty meters wide and over ten meters high, all built from hard rock.
Below it were two iron grille gates, pitch-black and all forged from high-quality refined iron.
Through the iron grilles, one could see the winding paths leading to secluded spots inside, with a main road leading straight to the interior, flanked by tall trees on both sides.
In the center of the archway were four large characters: Nuoding Academy.
It had to be said that Nuoding Academy still had some substance.
Although Chu Chengzhou had never been to Shrek Academy, he could pat his chest and guarantee that Shrek, which claimed to be an ‘Advanced Spirit Master Academy,’ was absolutely not fit to carry the shoes of Nuoding Primary Spirit Master Academy when looking solely at the teaching environment.
Although Nuoding Academy couldn’t compare to the formal Advanced Spirit Master Academies on the continent, nor could it compare to Intermediate Spirit Master Academies, and it couldn’t even compare to the Primary Spirit Master Academies in big cities.
But no matter how small Nuoding Academy was, it was still an official, formal Spirit Master academy of Heaven Dou, and the City Lord’s mansion would allocate a significant amount of education funding every year, which was far from what the dirt-poor Shrek of the current era could compare to.
“Greetings, Dean!”
Before they even got close, Chu Chengzhou saw a young gatekeeper greeting them enthusiastically.
This scene before him made Chu Chengzhou think of the scene in the original work where Tang San came to Nuoding Academy.
Don’t underestimate the gatekeeper; Nuoding Academy was considered a high-end place in Nuoding City.
Even if it was just a gatekeeper, the salary and benefits were not bad.
The gatekeeper in front of him was very likely the same one who would look down on Saint Spirit Village’s Village Chief Old Jack and Tang San a year later.
They were all humans.
Uh, Tang San was a half-plant person?
But their identities were different, so the attitudes were worlds apart.
One could only say, having power and influence was really great!
Otherwise, for a super trash like him with Innate half-level Soul Power, even if he could enroll in Nuoding Academy, he would most likely be given a hard time by this gatekeeper.
“Hmm.”
Nodding slightly, Su Nan didn’t pay much attention to the gatekeeper and took Chu Chengzhou directly into the academy.
He was just a gatekeeper; a slight nod was already considered polite, and it wasn’t worth wasting the Dean’s precious time.
Nuoding Academy wasn’t very big and was mainly divided into several areas: the main teaching building, the playground, and the dormitory building on the east side of the playground.
After entering the academy, Su Nan took Chu Chengzhou to the Academic Affairs Office.
The Academic Affairs Office was on the first floor of the main teaching building.
The person specifically responsible for receiving new students was a teacher who looked to be over sixty, with two young teachers around thirty years old assisting him.
“Dean!”
Seeing Dean Su Nan’s figure, the three people in the Academic Affairs Office immediately stood up to salute.
“Old Su, this is my grandson, Chu Chengzhou.
Please handle his enrollment procedures.”
Su Nan pointed at Chu Chengzhou, who was following behind him, and said to Director Su.
The Academic Affairs Director’s surname was Su, and Su Nan’s surname was Su, but that didn’t mean the two were relatives; it was just a coincidence.
“Dean, is this Cheng Hao and Qing Yan’s child?”
Looking over Chu Chengzhou, Director Su said to Su Nan.
The two people in Director Su’s mouth were exactly Chu Chengzhou’s parents.
After all, they were both ‘Genius’ teachers among the academy staff back then, and plus they were Dean Su Nan’s Disciples, so Director Su naturally remembered them.
“Hmm.”
Su Nan nodded without saying much.
“Little Chengzhou, tell Grandpa Su what your Spirit is and what your Innate Soul Power Rank is?”
Opening the booklet for registering student information, Director Su revealed a kind smile and asked Chu Chengzhou.
Chu Chengzhou: “…”
If he told the truth, would he embarrass his own grandfather, the Dean?
“Alright, Old Su, just fill in Summoning Flag Spirit, Innate Rank 1 Soul Power.”
Perhaps noticing his grandson’s embarrassment, and also to save his own face, Su Nan spoke up.
