In a secluded tavern in Nuoding City, the entire place was empty, with only one person drinking.
This person was exceptionally tall and burly, but his clothes were tattered, making him look more like a beggar than a normal person.
If one observed closely, his skin was bronze-colored, and though his face was haggard, his body was as robust as if cast, with muscles like forged copper and iron.
If Yang Pingan were to see him, he would know this person was his long-sought enemy, Tang Hao.
The man held a wine pot in one hand, while two letters lay calmly on the table.
These were the letters Yang Pingan had recently sent out.
One was a letter reporting Tang Hao’s reclusive life in Saint Spirit Village and his son Tang San’s awakening of Innate Full Spirit Power.
The other was a letter reporting the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, Xiao Wu.
Although Tang Hao lived in seclusion in Saint Spirit Village and paid little attention to external affairs, he had become more vigilant after Tang San awakened his twin spirits and Innate Full Spirit Power.
With his son’s talent, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to become a peerless powerhouse in the future; the only thing lacking was time.
And all of this required preventing interference from Spirit Hall.
However, upon investigating Spirit Hall, he discovered that the Nuoding City Spirit Hall branch intended to report Tang San’s information.
Moreover, Spirit Hall had actually received other reports about his son’s and his own information.
Upon learning this news, Tang Hao immediately suppressed the information within Nuoding City.
The report letters fell into his hands before they could be sent out.
To prevent the Nuoding City Spirit Hall branch from sending out the message again, Tang Hao had been secretly monitoring information in Nuoding City recently.
After some observation, a huge surprise emerged: he discovered a transformed Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast in Nuoding City, and this Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast had actually become friends with his son, Tang San.
But before he could be happy for long, it was reported again, and this time it was information about the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast.
Seeing this, Tang Hao was greatly alarmed again.
After some maneuvering, the secret letter once more landed in his hands.
There was no information to be found on these two secret letters.
From the handwriting, it appeared somewhat vigorous and powerful, suggesting it was written by someone with some calligraphic skill.
Yet, the writing on these two letters was uglier than his own, which seemed extremely contradictory.
If Yang Pingan knew of Tang Hao’s expression, he would probably spit in his face.
Both of these letters were written with his left hand, the paper was common street paper, and the methods and paper used on both occasions were different.
Even his own mother couldn’t discern any connection, let alone trying to find him through these two letters.
Tang Hao had investigated Nuoding City for a period of time, finding no useful information within the city, and he felt a bit numb.
Of course, neither Yang Pingan nor Tang Hao knew that the first letter was not intercepted at all, but was directly transmitted to the high-ranking officials of Spirit Hall, only to disappear without a trace.
Since sending out the letters, Yang Pingan had received no information from Nuoding City, and he had basically already guessed the destination of these letters.
Given Bibi Dong’s covetousness for Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts, if she knew a transformed Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast appeared in Nuoding City, it would be impossible for her not to take action.
Even if ordinary mid-to-high-level Spirit Hall members knew about the transformed Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, they would definitely take action, even if they themselves coveted the hundred thousand year spirit bone.
But now, Nuoding City was calm, Xiao Wu was unaffected, and the perpetrator was obvious.
All information was likely intercepted by Tang Hao, and Tang Hao was probably trying to find him now.
Yang Pingan merely sneered.
Tang San’s development required countless opportunities, and he just happened to know where these opportunities were.
He was in the dark, and Tang Hao was in the light.
Even with Tang Hao’s formidable strength, he probably couldn’t guard against everything.
Since the start of the fifth grade, Nuoding Primary School seemed to have undergone subtle changes.
Students became more boisterous, and various conflicts arose among students of different grades.
Especially the newly enrolled Xiao Wu and Tang San, who were basically the most prominent students in the entire academy.
Both possessed Innate Full Spirit Power and had outstanding combat abilities.
Xiao Wu, in particular, was quite cute, causing a small stir within the academy.
There were even several conflicts between Work-Study Students and regular students.
Upon receiving this news, Yang Pingan merely shook his head in secret and paid no further attention.
It was just a bunch of kids fighting.
At most, they only had one Spirit Ability now, so there was nothing to see.
He might as well go cultivate himself.
In the Dean’s office, Dean Wu, Director Su, and Yu Xiaogang were still together.
At this time, Yu Xiaogang seemed to have suffered some injury, but his usual despondency had vanished, and his eyes radiated a certain excitement.
Dean Wu’s expression seemed a bit off: “Director Su, I heard that regular students and Work-Study Students in the academy have been fighting frequently recently. Is there any truth to this?”
Director Su glanced at Yu Xiaogang, unsure how to explain: “The newly enrolled students are indeed quite lively. Perhaps some students, having just become Spirit Masters, want to spar with other students.”
Dean Wu fell silent upon hearing this.
He naturally knew who the newly formed Spirit Masters were—they should be the two first-year students who had just enrolled with Innate Full Spirit Power.
Yu Xiaogang, however, had a hint of arrogance on his face: “We are a Spirit Master Academy. It is very normal for Spirit Masters to spar with each other. My students are very sensible and won’t cause any major incidents.”
Dean Wu’s face broke into a smile upon hearing this: “Grandmaster, congratulations on taking on such a good disciple. A student with Innate Full Spirit Power, who has already become a Spirit Master upon enrollment, will surely have a boundless future.”
For a primary Spirit Master Academy to have two promising talents with Innate Full Spirit Power, it was quite an honor for the Dean.
Yu Xiaogang was not modest: “Tang San is indeed a good child. Although his Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, his comprehension is extremely high, and he studies diligently. Under my guidance, his Soul Power will reach at least level twenty-five before he graduates from primary school.”
Dean Wu and Director Su both praised him upon hearing this.
The normal admission requirement for an Advanced Soul Master Academy was only level twenty Soul Power.
This meant that Tang San could directly bypass the Intermediate Spirit Master Academy and enter an Advanced Soul Master Academy after graduating from primary school, and even become a core student there.
Yu Xiaogang was quite pleased with their flattery.
For a long time, Yu Xiaogang had been scorned in the Spirit Master’s world, and even when staying at Nuoding Academy, he wasn’t taken seriously.
Now, he finally felt a sense of vindication.
