Fury!

After Tang San finished speaking, he glanced at a dumbfounded Yun Feng and quickly ran down the mountain. He had to go back to help his father prepare breakfast.

He didn't have time to keep playing with little kids!

At this moment, Yun Feng was overwhelmed with joy and a bit unsure of what to do. Tang San was practically his savior!

A system notification suddenly appeared: 

"Detected suggestion from the child of destiny, Tang San: sleep early, wake early, and drink more hot water. Reward: innate soul power slowly increases."

Upon seeing the change on the screen, Yun Feng hurried back home and started boiling water under Jack's puzzled gaze.

Yun Feng poured the freshly boiled water into a bottle and carried it with him—it was his elixir!

Satisfied with his work, Yun Feng left the house.

If my innate soul power increases gradually just by going to bed early and waking up early, could I eventually reach the level of innate full soul power?

Although he had already awakened his martial soul, most of his cultivated soul power now came from postnatal training.

But now that he had a system, things were different from the usual cultivation rules!

Innate soul power determined a person's potential, and everything in the future would depend on it.

Taking a small sip of hot water, Yun Feng felt his soul power circulating within him and squinted his eyes in happiness. 

*Doing nothing and still improving my soul power—what a blessing! If I keep drinking hot water for a hundred years, could I break the rules of this world?*

However, Yun Feng didn't dwell on this for long. He went back to the door of Tang San's house, hoping for more advice from the child of destiny.

After all, his martial soul was the Blue Silver Grass, but without Tang San's powerful bloodline, it wouldn't be strong. He had to think of everything if he wanted to become a powerful soul master.

When Yun Feng arrived at Tang San's house, Tang San saw him and felt a bit helpless, thinking his little trick had been discovered.

Tang San asked, "Yun Feng, what brings you here?"

Yun Feng nodded seriously, raised his water bottle, and took a sip of hot water. With a stern face, he said, 

"Tang San, I've found that drinking hot water really works! My body feels warm, and my stomach is comfortable. Do you have any more advice?"

Hearing this, Tang San was speechless. He glanced at Yun Feng's water bottle, still steaming. 

*Who wouldn't feel warm after drinking hot water?* 

But it was fine; at least Yun Feng had been misled so easily.

Without thinking much, Tang San replied, 

"Since you can feel your body warming up, it means your soul power is already increasing. This is a crucial first step toward becoming stronger. Next, you should focus on other aspects."

Yun Feng's eyes lit up, filled with anticipation. 

"What else should I do? Is there more advice?"

Tang San nodded knowingly. 

"What you lack now is physical strength. You're still young, and this is a good time to grow. Make sure to eat more meals every day—not only will it help you grow taller and more handsome, but it will also increase your physical strength!"

After saying this, Tang San noticed Yun Feng hadn't left and added, 

"Don't bite off more than you can chew. Focus on these two things first, then come back."

Realizing that Tang San didn't want to say more, Yun Feng left with a smile.

Another system notification appeared: 

*"Detected suggestion from the child of destiny, Tang San: eat more food. Reward: rapid physical growth, improved looks, and increased physical strength (depending on food type and quantity)."*

Yun Feng was now convinced that Tang San was like a living Buddha! His advice was simple, and the rewards were fantastic!

After all, for Yun Feng, eating, sleeping, and drinking water had become part of his cultivation.

Compared to his grandfather's advice about persistence, Tang San's methods were far superior!

Three days later, Yun Feng and Jack arrived outside Tang San's house, but Tang San wasn't home.

Jack knocked on the door, but there was no response. He peeked inside and was greeted by the stench of alcohol and sweat from Tang Hao, who was still asleep. Jack gagged a few times.

"Tang Hao! Tang Hao!" Jack called out. He didn't care whether Tang Hao was sleeping; he loathed the messy blacksmith. If not for the cheap farm tools Tang Hao forged, Jack would have kicked him out of the village long ago.

As Jack called out, he looked around for a chair, but seeing the filthy state of the house, he didn't dare sit. At his age, he wasn't willing to risk falling and breaking a bone.

"Who's shouting so early?" Tang Hao's irritated voice rang out.

When Tang Hao finally appeared, Jack spoke, 

"Tang Hao, I came to tell you that I'm planning to send Tang San to the Nuoding Primary Soul Master Academy tomorrow, along with Feng'er."

Tang Hao frowned as he sat up in bed, 

"Academy? What for? Little San's martial soul hasn't even awakened yet! He's not going anywhere. And even if it does awaken, I won't let him go! Who's going to cook for me if he leaves?"

Tang Hao took a swig from the bottle beside his bed, speaking in a daze.

Hearing this, Jack's anger surged, 

"You don't even care about your own son! His martial soul awakened days ago! Other parents were there for their kids, but you… you're still the same."

Just then, Tang San returned from gathering firewood and saw Yun Feng standing outside. Before he could greet him, he heard the voices of his father and Jack inside.

Upon hearing his father's words, Tang San's eyes dimmed, but he didn't say anything. He placed the firewood aside and entered the house.

Tang Hao, seeing his son enter, casually asked, 

"Little San, you're back. What's your martial soul?"

Tang San's voice was slightly stiff as he replied, 

"Dad, it's Blue Silver Grass."

Jack was about to speak again, but Tang Hao, upon hearing those words, quickly responded, 

"Go home, Jack. Tang San's not going. Blue Silver Grass is just a useless martial soul—no need for cultivation. And if he leaves, who's going to cook for me?"

As he spoke, Tang Hao stood up and pushed Jack out the door. Caught off guard, Jack stumbled and fell to the ground with a painful cry.

"Ahhh!"

Yun Feng witnessed the entire scene, and his eyes filled with fury. He didn't care about what Tang San or Tang Hao did, but Jack had raised him. No one could harm him!
