Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Yes."

Tang San nodded, but inside he felt a bit embarrassed.

From the conversation just now, he already realized that he and Wu Youyou were not of the same world.

Although he didn't understand much about class distinctions, in his heart, he had already distinguished himself from ordinary people.

How could a high and mighty soul master be compared with ordinary people?

"It seems there are no proper academies in Suoto City. Why not follow me to Tiandou City?"

Wu Youyou suggested, "After all, we are fellow townsmen, and Ming Lun Academy has all kinds of advanced teaching environments, which can allow your talent to shine."

"The entrance test is simple. As long as you have perseverance, you can join."

Tang San frowned: "In that case, wouldn't all kinds of people be able to enter Ming Lun?"

In his heart, the dragon does not dwell with the serpent, and Ming Lun Academy had already become a gathering place for a mix of strange figures.

Yet he didn't know, a dragon can soar among the universe, or hide within the speck of a mustard seed, where can it not find repose?

A dragon that does not dwell with serpents is surely an evil dragon, or a Yao dragon. It may reign as an ancestor for a time but will never be a true dragon, never dominant for eternity.

"Ming Lun is like that. As long as your character is decent and you have persistence, you can enter to learn." Wu Youyou said with a proud look, which strangely didn't provoke a sense of aversion in Tang San.

A strange academy.

Strange students.

Xiao Wu blinked and said, "Third brother, why don't we go to Ming Lun? That's an academy in a large city."

At that moment, Xiao Wu felt a renewed desire to take a look at Ming Lun.

Ultimately, it still depended on her third brother's opinion.

"Better not. My teacher sent me here with a plan in mind, and I can't defy it." Tang San refused Wu Youyou's kind offer.

Though the continent lacks the saying 'a teacher for one day is a father for life,' once a disciple sincerely accepts a real teacher, they are second only to one's parents in terms of closeness.

Furthermore, Tang San was a person of profound loyalty, having felt a sense of 'fatherly love' from his teacher, which he treasured immensely.

As for martial soul cultivation, he had Xuan Tian Gong, which surpassed all the meditation methods in the world.

Wu Youyou, knowing the intricacies of their teacher-student relationship, didn't say anything like "your teacher is leading you astray," but instead offered a suggestion, saying: "According to Master Xinyuan's 'Martial Soul Strengthening Theory,' I suggest you seek plant-based, life-force strong spirit beasts when acquiring spirit rings in the future, rather than focusing on aggressive, poisonous types."

"The advantage of Blue Silver Grass is its resilient and thriving life force. You should capitalize on this trait rather than choose aggressive spirit skills."

"Even if you want to grant your martial soul poisonous attributes, wait until you reach level fifty, then add a ten-thousand-year ring, even the most common kind, and it will surpass all your previous four rings combined."

"When absorbing spirit rings, you should notice the physical and soul power growth they provide."

"If you add poisonous spirit rings to Blue Silver Grass, let alone whether the martial soul can adapt and become poisonous, your physical growth rate will definitely lag behind others."

"However, you seem to have a soul power cultivation method more complex than meditation, which allows you barely to surpass most civilian soul masters, but surpassing those geniuses is extremely difficult."

Xuan Tian Gong has been discovered!?

Tang San paid no attention to the previous talk by Wu Youyou about the theory of spirit ring enhancing martial souls, but a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. This chapter first appeared on M|V|L^EMPYR.

This Xuan Tian Gong was a secret passed down by the Tang Sect, not even taught to Xiao Wu, how could it be detected by others?

Wu Youyou, being sensitive, perceived Tang San's killing intent but felt a bit puzzled: "Why so agitated? Could it be that he hasn't read the 'Martial Soul and Soul Power Cultivation Theory'?"

"That must be it for him to treasure that soul power circulation method."

"Perhaps this Tang San didn't get along well and was rather reclusive during his time at Nuoding Academy."

Wu Youyou could not comprehend how Tang San developed such a personality.

However, Tang San indeed asked: "Can you discern the soul power circulation method I practice?"

"Well, in this era, as long as one is above Soul Saint, they can generally see a thing or two."

With Master Xinyuan's theory spreading widely now, most soul masters would attempt to conduct soul power circulation based on the relevant theories.

If there were no martial soul, such attempts would be dangerous, but the martial soul can feedback results to the soul master, enabling many soul masters to find cultivation methods compatible with their martial soul.

Though most of them are relatively basic, they are much more powerful than the meditation methods they previously followed.

Under typical circumstances, only soul masters at the level of Soul Saint and above can sense the soul power circulation paths of others.

Wu Youyou, though not a Soul Saint, had her own sensitivity heightened through the continuous strengthening of Blue Silver Grass, enabling a keen perception of natural elements.

"How could it be?!" Tang San didn't believe it; his teacher had clearly told him that the meditation method he created was the highest level there was!

Although it was indeed quite basic compared to Xuan Tian Gong, it already incorporated circulation routes compared to the meditation method distributed by Nuoding Academy.

Besides, when Nuoding Academy distributed the meditation techniques, they said that it was the continent's standard meditation technique, only slightly advanced compared to those of the major families and sects.

Could the teacher be misleading him?

"It seems you've been focused solely on cultivation these years and haven't understood the changes happening in the outside world. According to Master Xinyuan, it means being disconnected from society."

Wu Youyou said curiously, "If you paid no mind to worldly changes and focused solely on cultivation, it would be fine."

"But it seems you've also made quite a few wrong turns in your martial cultivation."

"While creating behind closed doors is not unwise, at least know how to create it, right?"

Tang San was puzzled, "I'm creating behind closed doors?"

"Sort of, at least your first two soul rings were chosen incorrectly," Wu Youyou said with some regret, "However, if before becoming a Soul Sage, you choose to add a plant-type soul ring with tenacious life to your martial soul, perhaps it can be corrected, and Blue Silver Grass would be best for that kind of plant."

"You don't have to worry about that, I have my own plans." Tang San felt Wu Youyou was mocking his teacher's theory, his tone a bit cold.

"Then let's just leave it."

Seeing Tang San unmoved, Wu Youyou didn't intend to say more, after all, up to now, she was only trying to advise out of a sense of being from the same hometown.

Watching Wu Youyou's departing figure, Xiao Wu asked, "I think she made a good point, third brother, you really should add a martial soul that can enhance the vitality of your Blue Silver Grass, after all, when we usually spar, it seems you don't rely on your martial soul skills to win."

Was the teacher's theory wrong?

Tang San's heart also wavered a little, but finally shook his head and said, "We are commoners, without strong offensive soul skills, we can't protect ourselves, let alone you."

"Third brother~" Hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu was very moved, and couldn't help but hug Tang San.

"What are you doing?" Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, who was clinging to him like an octopus, with a bit of helplessness, a bit of tenderness, and a bit of enjoyment...

...

As the sky darkened, Wu Youyou found an inn in Suoto City, took a room by the window, and planned to rest for the night before setting off in the morning.

Just as she took the key from the staff and turned around, she was blocked by a sleazy fat man in a red coat.

"Although your face is a bit ordinary, your figure is passably fine."

The fat man appraised her, his small eyes scanning Wu Youyou up and down, then said, "Little lady, my name is Ma Hongjun, want to be my girlfriend?"

"Sorry, no." Wu Youyou politely declined and tried to walk around him, but he stood in her way again, saying, "Don't be so shy, how much for a night? I have plenty of money."

Wu Youyou's gaze turned cold.

She had declined out of courtesy before; this fat guy should have walked away if he knew better, but instead, he continued to pester her.

Asking for trouble!

But her demeanor was still composed as she said, "Please step aside, I'm not interested in you, you've got the wrong person."

"What's wrong with not being interested? Let's just get to know each other, don't be shy." The sleazy fat man grinned even more.

The staff nearby was worried and reminded the fat man, "Sir, please don't disturb the lady; this is a hotel, not a brothel."

"Get lost, is it your place to speak?" The sleazy fat man threatened, "Isn't a hotel meant for renting rooms? Stop pretending to be pure!"

Wu Youyou's expression had completely turned icy, "Spewing indecency, didn't your elders teach you any manners?"

The sleazy fat man snorted, "Flirting with girls is permitted by my teacher, as long as I get the girls' permission."

"I do not permit it, so why don't you leave?"

"That's why I'm asking for your permission, right?" The fat man blinked suggestively, hoping his "handsome" face could win her over.

Wu Youyou only felt a swell of disgust in her chest. She took a deep breath and said, "Let's go outside and fight; I want to teach you a good lesson."

"Oh, a soul master!" The fat man was delighted, "If I win, will you be my girlfriend?"

Wu Youyou didn't answer, just walked toward the door, while the fat man rushed to follow, afraid his future girlfriend and "soul master punch bag" would run away.

In the glow of the fiery sunset, the number of pedestrians on the street had dwindled.

However, seeing another soul master duel about to take place, a crowd still gathered to watch the excitement.

"Which two soul masters are going at it this time?"

"One of them is Ma Hongjun."

"That lecherous kid? A student from the same academy as Dai. It seems he wants to vent his fire on this female soul master."

Those who knew the fat man's situation spoke out his name and background.

"From the same academy as that White Tiger Martial Soul guy? What a pair of kindred spirits." Wu Youyou thought to herself, looking at Ma Hongjun with increased disdain, "What kind of academy could breed two such lascivious oddballs?"
