Chapter 39: Sun Yu sets off and Tang San is tired
"Alright, Little Bei, children shouldn't interrupt when adults are speaking. Xiaoyu, what are your plans now?"
Old Jack, who had been doubting life for a while, walked to the cabinet and took out a dry pipe he hadn't smoked in a long time. After lighting it, he took several deep puffs.
Then he exhaled white smoke, looked up, and asked Sun Yu.
There was no great anger or other emotions in Old Jack's words, only a calmness he tried his best to suppress.
He knew that no matter what he said or cursed now, it would be useless. Finding a way out as soon as possible was more important than raging in incompetence here.
After a moment of silence, Sun Yu spoke.
"I plan to go to a mid-level Spirit Master Academy called Hundred Battles Academy, located at the border of the Silves Kingdom and the Balak Kingdom...."
"Hundred Battles Academy? Do you have to go that far?"
Hearing about this unfamiliar mid-level Spirit Master Academy, Old Jack looked puzzled.
Although he hadn't heard of Hundred Battles Academy, he knew about the Balak Kingdom and the Silves Kingdom.
From their Saint Spirit Village, even by carriage, it would take about half a month of travel!
And it would pass through two kingdoms....
Although Xiaoyu was already a Spirit Master, he was still only a seven-year-old child...
Would it be too dangerous for him to travel alone?!
"Yes, I met people from Hundred Battles Academy when I was hunting for a spirit ring in the Hunting Soul Forest. They said they could let me enroll..."
Originally, Sun Yu didn't plan to go directly; he intended to ask Dean Wang Zhen which mid-level Spirit Master Academy was better. But since things had come to this, Sun Yu had no choice but to go directly to Hundred Battles Academy.
As for whether he would actually enroll, he would decide after seeing it...
"Wuwu, my poor child, you have to go to such a faraway place. Child, you must have suffered..."
A'lv touched Sun Yu's head with a sorrowful expression.
"It's alright, Mom. To be honest, my original goal for going to the academy this time was to graduate early and then move on to another academy for development. The current situation isn't much different from what I envisioned, so I'm not too disheartened about being expelled!
Besides, the Spirit Master's world values strength above all else. With strength, no school would refuse to admit a genius!!"
Sun Yu smiled.
"But Xiaoyu, Hundred Battles Academy is too far, why don't we...."
"Enough, all of you shut up. Since Xiaoyu has chosen to go to Hundred Battles Academy, let him go. Believe in Xiaoyu, believe he can do it, believe he can go all the way!"
Old Jack took a puff of his dry pipe and spoke forcefully, interrupting his son who was about to speak.
He said with a grim face.
"Father...."
Seeing his father rarely get angry, Jielin also closed his mouth, which he had just opened.
"Xiaoyu, go ahead and venture out without worry. We can't help you with anything; in fact, we even need your help to get the overdue food money. As the village chief, I feel very ashamed.
So you don't need to worry about us. Although our Saint Spirit Village can't become rich, we can at least eat our fill and won't starve! Our family will wait for you to come back in the village...."
Old Jack took a puff of his dry pipe and spoke to Sun Yu with a serious expression.
"I understand, thank you, Grandpa...."
"Xiaoyu, when do you plan to leave?"
"I'll leave tomorrow morning. I came back this time just to tell you so you wouldn't worry about me."
The night passed without a word. The next morning, Sun Yu put on his backpack.
Then, under Old Jack's gaze, he left Saint Spirit Village.
In Old Jack's hand, there were still thirty gold coins that Sun Yu had left for him.
It wasn't that Sun Yu didn't want to leave more, but leaving too much might not be a good thing for Grandpa Jack and the others.
Meanwhile, Sun Yu embarked on his journey to Hundred Battles Academy.
At Notting Academy, after a day and a night of treatment, Yu Xiaogang's condition finally stabilized.
However, because the burns were too severe, Yu Xiaogang's body was constantly exuding fluid.
If too much exudate flowed out, it could cause a secondary infection of the wound and also lead to a further deterioration of internal injuries due to excessive loss of bodily fluids and blood.
Therefore, the dressing needed to be changed every two hours.
At the same time, spirit power needed to be continuously infused into Yu Xiaogang to allow his internal organs to function normally under the guidance of spirit power, maintaining the balance of his various indicators.
'Little San, you've been busy all night. You should go back and rest. You don't need to attend classes for the next two days. Go back and get some good rest. I'll have someone watch him here!'
Dean Wang Zhen rubbed his sore eyes and spoke to Tang San, who stood by Yu Xiaogang's bed with a tired expression.
"Alright.... Then I'll trouble the Dean...."
Tang San looked at the gradually stabilizing Yu Xiaogang and nodded slightly.
He also knew that staying here now, besides waiting, there was nothing else he could do.
Unless he could find the legendary Immortal Herb, he had no way to help his teacher in his current predicament.
Therefore, instead of staying here in bitter vigil, it was better to go back and rest, and calm his brain, which had been burning for a day and a night!
"Oh, right, Dean, did you learn from the Spirit Hall people who harmed Teacher like this?!"
As he was leaving, Tang San seemed to remember something and asked with a calm expression.
Hearing this, Wang Zhen showed a bitter smile and said.
"I don't know. I asked the Spirit Hall people yesterday, and they said that when they arrived, Xiaogang was already surrounded by flames, and the flames were very large at the time, at least six or seven meters high.
Flames of such intensity, I think, could only be released by a Spirit Grandmaster or even a Spirit Elder. But Spirit Masters of that level cannot hide in Nuoding City; they would be noticed the first day they entered!
However, from what I understand, no Spirit Elder or Spirit Grandmaster has entered or left Nuoding City recently, not even a one-ring Spirit Master!"
Listening to the Dean's words, Tang San was silent for a moment and then continued to ask.
"Then, Dean, did Teacher offend anyone before?"
"Offend anyone?! No way. To my knowledge, Xiaogang is someone who wouldn't even talk back if he was mocked, because he felt that it would be beneath his identity as a Grandmaster. So many times, even when people spoke ill of him, he responded with silence.
Moreover, with Xiaogang's family background, ordinary people wouldn't easily choose to provoke him. Even if they did, it would be impossible to injure Xiaogang like this.
After all, although they might look down on Xiaogang, Xiaogang's family behind him is not someone they can afford to offend. Therefore, even though Xiaogang has always been mocked by the world, there really haven't been many who have physically harmed him..."
Hearing this, Tang San's expression froze.
He hadn't expected his teacher to have such a powerful family background.
"Hmph, I remember now. If he truly offended anyone, then in recent years, it would only be Sun Yu, but Sun Yu... sigh, never mind...."
