Chapter 86: Chapter 85: They All Like Him

Tang San said, "Teacher said I could come and have a look. Could big brother introduce me to what our mission list contains?"Wu Bingji nodded and said, "Our academy's missions are mainly prepared for everyone's experience and training. The rewards for the missions are all directly in money. They include sparring missions that require a visit to Jiali Academy. There are also missions to hunt Demon Beasts and gather Rare Spiritual Herbs. Those are the three main types. You can take any of them. However, since you are younger and your cultivation base surpasses ordinary Humans, I suggest you don't take the sparring missions. It's too easy to draw attention from Jiali Academy. The latter two would be more suitable for you. Generally speaking, gathering spiritual herbs and hunting Demon Beasts can be done in teams. Don't go alone, so you can look out for each other and avoid danger." He then took out several lists with detailed information. Although he didn't recommend Tang San to take sparring missions, the lists included those as well.

"Understood, thank you, big brother." Tang San spread out the mission lists on the table to look through them.

Du Bai, who was standing by, expressed his dissatisfaction: "Big brother, how come I've never seen these missions before? All the missions I get are things like delivering messages or shopping, and the rewards are pitifully small."

Wu Bingji couldn't help but laugh, "You! You lack the ability to protect yourself. You must act according to your abilities, little junior brother."

Du Bai said, "I'm not the little junior brother now, Tang San is."

Wu Bingji looked at him, then at Tang San, and shook his head, "If he wishes, it might not be long before he becomes the big brother. That's why I call him Xiao Tang, not little junior brother."

Du Bai's mouth twitched, but thinking about the fight between Wu Bingji and Tang San today, he had nothing to say. Who could argue when someone had superior strength and he himself lacked combat power?

Tang San reviewed the mission lists, his main focus on the Demon Beast hunting. Demon Beasts are actually Monsters that haven't developed wisdom. He had eaten Demon Beast Meat once, and it truly had considerable benefits for the body's tempering.

Moreover, he had found that among the three different types of mission lists, the rewards for hunting Demon Beasts were the highest. They were at least Spirit Rhinoceros Coin level, with Elemental Coins and even higher-tier Tianyu Coin rewards. This revealed the richness of the rewards.

Regarding hunting Demon Beasts, Tang San was the most interested for two reasons: one was the generous rewards, and the other was his curiosity to see if the bloodline powers of Demon Beasts could be directly Devoured, and how different their bloodline powers were from those of the Monster race.

After looking through the lists, Tang San said to Du Bai, "Where's the store? Take me there too."

Du Bai smiled, "Right, go to the store and see what you want. Then you can take the corresponding missions to buy what you need."

Tang San once again bowed to Wu Bingji, and as he was about to leave, Wu Bingji said, "Xiao Tang, if you're free tonight, I'd like to come find you and ask for some advice about element control. Is that okay?"

The big brother had no airs about him and showed no negative emotions because of Tang San's display of strength in the combat today. Tang San could feel the sincerity in his words and nodded with a smile, "Of course, big brother, you are too kind. Let's discuss it together."

"Great, then I'll come find you after dinner tonight," Wu Bingji smiled.

After leaving Wu Bingji's room, Du Bai said in a low voice, "Big brother is such a good person. He's the epitome of a nice guy in our academy. Everyone is friendly with him, and he's strong, too. Nearly all the girls like big brother. And that includes Cheng Zicheng. I'm telling you, it's nothing that you beat her, but if you had beaten big brother today, she might have really gone after you."

Just as Tang San was about to say something, a sharp scream suddenly pierced the air, and in the next instant, Du Bai was flying.

Then Tang San saw Cheng Zicheng carrying Du Bai to the rooftop with her wings spread open, and then hitting his head with her wings repeatedly, "Do you want to die? Do you?"

Seeing Cheng Zicheng's face turn red with anger, Tang San knew Du Bai must be right! This little girl was indeed precociously affectionate, though it was probably just a naive crush.

A brother in trouble should not be ignored, especially since he needed Du Bai to accompany him to the store.

With a light tap of his toes on the ground, Tang San was already on the rooftop, "Senior sister, I didn't hear anything. What was Du Bai saying just now?"

"Hm?" Cheng Zicheng paused for a moment, turned around to look at him, and saw Tang San's sincere eyes.

"You really didn't hear anything?" she asked with suspicion.

Tang San said, "I just heard Du Bai say that the eldest senior brother is especially kind, but before I could hear the rest of his praise you dragged him up to the roof. Is there something wrong with the eldest senior brother?"

Cheng Zicheng glared and retorted, "What's wrong with him? He's always been nice. I just can't stand him talking behind other people's backs."

"So I can't even give compliments?" Du Bai said pitifully, already sporting two bumps on his head.

Cheng Zicheng glared at him, ready to smash him with her wings again, but Tang San quickly raised a hand to stop her, "Sister, please calm down. We're all friends here. The eldest senior brother even invited me over tonight to discuss element control. Would you like to join us and talk it over?"

"The eldest senior brother invited you?" Cheng Zicheng was taken aback.

"Yes! The eldest senior brother is very powerful in terms of ice element control, and I want to learn from him. He suggested we meet in my room," said Tang San.

Cheng Zicheng's blush gradually faded as she asked, "Would it be appropriate for me to join? I'm not really focused on the elements."

Tang San replied, "Actually, your Golden Peng Transformation Flight also utilizes the power of the wind. I think on the topic of the wind element, sister, you and I could discuss and help each other out."

Cheng Zicheng, somewhat reluctantly, said, "Alright then. What time in the evening?"

"After dinner, at my room," Tang San said with a smile.

"Hmm." Without giving Du Bai another glance, Cheng Zicheng floated down from the rooftop and left.

As Du Bai rubbed his head, he looked at Tang San and then at Cheng Zicheng, who had made sure to leave, and said, "Bro, your skill at talking nonsense with a straight face is truly impressive!"

Tang San laughed and said, "That's not called talking nonsense; that's called emotional intelligence. You should learn some. Once you do, you won't have to suffer as much physically."

With Du Bai in tow, they descended from the rooftop. Du Bai, still grimacing in pain, muttered, "Daring to hit the mascot, you're asking for bad luck."

In the distance, Cheng Zicheng, who had just reached her room and was pushing the door open, for some reason, slipped and tripped on the threshold. Her foot twisted awkwardly and with a "crack," she sprained her ankle...

"Ah! It hurts so much!"

At this moment, Du Bai, already leading Tang San, arrived at the southern room in the courtyard.

He knocked on the door, and a pleasant voice came from inside, "Come in."

Pushing the door open, as soon as Tang San entered, he noticed a plaque on the floor with the words "Little Shop" written crookedly, definitely not considered attractive.

But as soon as he stepped in, he immediately felt the difference. There was a unique scent mixed with both medicinal and fragrant odors. Most importantly, the aura in here was extremely rich.

The Origin Energy in Jiali City was already very rich, particularly around Jiali Academy. However, this room was absolutely the place with the richest Origin Energy that Tang San had ever experienced. There were elemental waves of various properties, and even the air seemed somewhat thick due to the excessively rich aura.

Even without activating his Spirit Rhinoceros Eyes, Tang San could feel the air was somewhat blurry, not due to impurity, but because the aura was so dense.

Almost subconsciously, he took a deep breath, and immediately, his bloodline was slightly stimulated. However, he also quickly identified a problem: despite the extremely dense aura, it was somewhat mixed. If one were to cultivate solely, purifying the aura here would be a relatively troublesome task.
