Your kind of wrong

Just like how it did in the original, Old man Jack was happy that their village produced a Spirit Master. He told Tang Hao of what had happened in the awakening ceremony. After he left, Tang San told his father that besides the Blue Grass, he still have another spirit mark.

He showed his father the hammer in his left hand and Tang Hao told him to protect the grass in his right. His father showed him his techniques in forging which he see and memorized properly using his purple eyes.

The next day after picking up of woods. Tang San returned home and saw that his father was already gone and left a note.

The next day...

Raizen: "Old man Jack, I'm going to leave now to broaden my horizons for my cooking."

Grandpa Jack: "Well you did say before that after you hit a bottleneck in your cooking that you want to try cooking spirit plants and animals."

R: *scratching the back of his head* It's one of my dreams really aside from being the best chef in the continent. hehehe

OJ: "So where are you heading to?"

R: "I guess I would start in Nuoding city."

OJ: "Oh! if you are going there, would you mind helping Tang San to go to the school there?"

R: "Not really... So I would just drop him there?"

OJ: "One moment *looking for the certificate* Here, just hand it to one of the officials there, Tang San will be a working student there."

R: *taking the certificate* "Before I go, I would cook for the village as my farewell gift to you guys."

OJ: *trying to hold his tears* "I would not decline such an offer."

In these past two years, I have been a cook for the village whenever there is an occasion. Tang San even ask me to teach him how to be better at cooking which his father appreciates even when he is not showing it to his face.

flashback

One time, I "accidentally" saw Tang San practicing his hidden weapons out in the woods and one almost hit me if he did not shoot a faster strike that hits the first one and manages to change the direction of both blades.

R: *faking to be scared and drop to the ground* "What was that Tang San?!"

TSan: "I am practicing throwing knives for self-defense."

R: "So this is where you disappeared every now and then."

TSan: "Please.... don't tell the others." 'how did I not notice him with my purple eyes coming here? It is as if he is one with nature and I can't distinguish the difference'

R: "eh... If that is how you want to defend yourself, who am I to judge. I just taught maybe a sword or a shield when choosing to defend themselves."

TSan: "Thank you sir Raizen."

R: "No "sir", just call me Raizen. Anyway, don't stay till sunset. There are still some animals that might hurt you when the night comes."

Tsan: "I will, just finishing my practice"

To then I walked away after that conversation.

Back to the present where Raizen is with Tang San walking towards Nuoding School.

R: "I could not believe that you are going to be a spirit master. Ha! Whenever a customer comes to my restaurant in the future, I will tell them that I know of a genius spirit master."

This made Tang San embarrassed for a second but when he saw a family being happy together, his mood drop again.

R: "Tang San, If I had known that your father was going to leave you alone. I would have stopped him when I saw him leave your house."

Tsan: "It ok big brother Raizen. My father wants me to be independent."

R: "Not as six years old! Sigh.... anyway if you have any problems at school, don't hesitate to ask for my help."

Tsan: "Thank you..."

When Tang San was already inside, I looked for a restaurant that needed a cook and I was able to find one a few blocks near the school. Even with me doing my own thing, I already knew that Tang San and the little rabbit Xiao Wu have met. The fight lasted longer probably because when I was pranking Tang San in his practice, he tries to adapt to the changes that I made.

Now it seems that Tang San was still defeated by the little rabbit because he always fall her charm skill. My head almost caves in from multiple facepalming.

The next day in the dining hall. Xiao Wu started a fight with the students from the second floor but when both she and Tang San wanted to fight. They were stopped by Yu Xiaogang and told Tang San to come with him.

When they were at Xiaogang's office, he asked Tang San what is his second spirit because based on his theory that a plant like the blue silver grass will not result in an innate spirit of 10. Their conversation continues similar to the story where Tang San accepted Xiaogang as his master. Then Xiaogang gives Tang San the essence tool that can store things.

Tsan: "Just like my big brother's spirit tool. He once said that to create such an item you need the understanding of time and space when forging and the materials should be balanced so that the inside of the essence will be stable enough to hold items. The one he has can even store living things.

Xiaogang was shocked by the information was curious to meet this "brother" of his disciple.

X: "But why tell me this?"

T: "He said that I can only tell the people that I trust with my life so master is qualified. Besides, when I meet big brother again, he would cook for us and I want for you to try out my brother's cooking."

X: "Very well, I'll look forward to when it happens."

Tang San then showed his master his second spirit which Xiaogang also told him that he needs to hide the hammer until he is strong enough. Xiaogang taught Tang San to hide his mark then told him that he need to increase his spirit level by going to the spirit forest and killing the spirit beast.

Tang San told his master that he need to prepare so he went to the nearest blacksmith shop and ask if they need an apprentice then the boss test him and made a very impressive ingot using his father's technique. When he was done he bump to someone he know while going back to school.

R: "Tang San, what are you doing outside of school."

TSan. "I gained a master in school. He told me that we were going to the spirit forest tomorrow so I prepared some hidden weapons."

R: "Good for you, if based on what I know about you, then your master must be a good person for you to accept him."

Tsan: "Yes he is. What about you brother? What are you been up to?"

R: "I am a cooked now in a restaurant few blocks from your school. We run out of vegetables so I bought some. I was planning to go to the spirit forest to start my practice of cooking spirit plants. Do you mind if I tag along with you guys? Three is better than two as they say."

Tsan: "We were was just talking about you before and master wants to see you if there is a chance and maybe this is it."

R: "Ok then, I'll wait for you guys at the entrance of the forest tomorrow."

When his brother left, he goes back to the school and start practicing with his new hidden weapon. After that, he went to the dorm room and see Xiao Wu feeling sad. One of the kids told him what happened but did not confront the bullies. He fixed the comb of Xiao Wu and left with his master the next day.

At the entrance of the forest, they meet with Raizen that is talking to the guards about things.

Tsan: "Brother Rise!"

R: "Hey Tang San, *looking at Xiaogang* You must be my brother's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, I heard so much about you. No, I did not hear it from Tang San but the people that come to the restaurant that I work for. They are also very descriptive of how you look.

Xiaogang was impressed that the brother manage to deduce who he was with all the information circulating outside. There is only a 30% chance that that information was true. And why does he feel like a part of nature? If Tang San did not call out to him then I would not be able to see him.

R: "I was able to see you a few years before in these streets and some people calling you grandmaster or something."

X: "Well that explains some stuff."

Continuing with the journey through the forest. Xiaogang was explaining to Tang San about the forest, the spirit beast, skills of spirit masters, spirit ring, the color which they represent, and the age limit of rings that can be absorbed by corresponding spirit masters.

Xiaogang gave an example to his teachings.

He summoned his spirit beast, Lou San Pao who is a mutation. He can never pass the level 30 mark because of the mutation that he has that limitation. He ordered the dog to defeat the low-level beast that surrounds them with a fart gun.

He continues to explain to Tang San that he needs to have his first spirit ring so that he can advance to level 11. All the defeated beasts around them showed a white ring floating above their body. Tang San ask if he can use the ring but his master told him that only the one who deals a final blow can get the ring. They go back and forth with their question and answer.

R: "Eh excuse me mister Xiaogang, but have you seen a person having a thousand-years old for their first spirit ring."

X: "The limit that I told about Tang San is more of a general limit that will not have any risk. In all my travels so far, I haven't seen anyone that has a thousand years old spirit ring for their first spirit."

R: "Really? *smiling at Xiaogang* ok then..."

Xiaogang and Tang San were confused with the smile but didn't dwell on it. They just thought that Raizen was just curious.

A few minutes after, they came across the "devil vine" and Xiaogang comparing the weaker plant to the romanti snake because of its appearance. When he was done explaining. The three of them prepared to move and find a suitable beast for Tang San but they were surrounded by a dozen ghost wolf packs.

Xiaogang ordered san pao to defeat the wolves but they started to run away. At first, he taught that they were scared by san pao but a shadow from the side caught up to the wolves. Then he remembered the difference between the plant to the snake. The one they are seeing now is the romanti snake with 422 yrs old.

Xiaogang and Tang San decided to run because they can not fight. The duo tried to fight the snake together rather than Xiaogang trying to delay it then fall unconscious because of the poison gained by san pao then Tang San fighting and winning against it. But now, things are a lot different from the original.

R: 'I was wondering when will I need to save him because Layla did not mention any specific events'

Before san pao touch the snake and Tang San use his radish-weapon throwing combo, Raizen comes between the duo and the snake.

Tsan: "Brother Raizen??"

X: "Impossible..."

What the two were seeing now is something they could not believe in their eyes. As for Tang San, he always taught that his big brother is just an ordinary cook with some skills. For Xiaogang, he could not believe the color of the three rings floating near Raizen.

R: *holding the head of the pinned-down snake* "You know, I was going to tell you that the "plant" that you think of is actually a deadly snake but you gave some facts about their difference. When you decided that it was a "devil vine*, I too decided to give you a lesson about arrogance and deciding too early. Didn't you hear when Tang San said "the smell has poison in it"? I've seen devil vines with poison before but not the same with the romanti snake. I was ticked off when you did not listen to the input of Tang San and I don't want to embarrass you in front of him. If he did not practice some self-defense, both of you would die here knowing your mistake too late."

X: "I'm sorry, I boast about being a great theorist but as you said, my arrogance got the better of me and did not entertain what my disciple said. If I did we would not be in this situation."

R: "As a big brother, I'm just angry that you put Tang San's safety in danger. Let this be your lesson for today."

X: "But how do you have three black rings? The first can be pushed to 700s, the second to 1000s, and the third ring 2500 as long as one survives the backlash of soul shock.

R: "I'll explain it later, first Tang San needs to absorb this spirit beast's ring. I will help you absorb it."

Tang San giving the final blow absorbed the ring of the 422 yrs old snake while Raizen was exerting pressure on the body of the boy. A few minutes later, Tang San finished absorbing the ring, and his level increase still increase to 13.

X: "Again, I'm sorry for my negligence that almost cost Tang San harm. It's just that other than being a great theorist, I'm not good with other things. That is one of the reasons why even when I'm confident in myself but my family doesn't believe me.

Tang San: *thinking of the dedication of his master to the knowledge that he has.* "I still believe in you master. You put your life to gain knowledge because you thought that it's the only thing you can do and respect you for that."

R: "Well said Tang San, first of all, I am sorry, I could have really told you the danger but my selfishness to teach you a lesson got the better of me. I could have berated you after Tang San is safe from danger but I lectured you in the middle of it."

X: "I understand your point and do not fault you at that. Let's just all say that we all gain from the lesson today."

R: "Yeah, like the saying "A master will always be a student"."

X: "A good saying indeed. But what about your black spirit rings."

R: "To be precise, I do not know how I survive having this strength without the backlash. Just lucky I guess with the three rings without dying."

Xiaogang can tell that Raizen was telling the truth but it feels like it is a part of a whole. He did not continue asking questions. Tang San was the same as his master and felt like something can not be said and he understand because he even doesn't want to tell other of him being a reincarnator.

The things they needed to do were finished and the master-disciple duo return to school while Raizen return to the restaurant.

Returning to school, Tang San also engage with the fight in the school after knowing his level when he checked it. After that, Xiao Wu became the boss of the students. Tang San train his eyes at dawn, a school in the morning, working at the smithy in the afternoon, creating weapons in secret, attending lectures from his master in the evening, and training mystic mind at night. A whole year passes by doing that and now the students can have a vacation and go back to their homes.

Tang San was reluctant to go home but convinced by Xiao Wu otherwise. At the road, they saw Raizen and Tang San called out to him. Xiao Wu already know that Raizen was like a big brother to Tang San even though they were not related. Raizen told them that he wants to visit the village and suggested that they go together.

In the village, Tang San was sad when his father still didn't come home.

Meanwhile, in the school, Tang Hao talked to Yu Xiaogang about taking care of his son and disappeared again.

Raizen who is beside Tang San and Xiao Wu inside the house making a meal for the two children was also aware of the meeting of Xiaogang and Tang Hao.

Breaking through to the Meteor stage increases the range of what he can perceive up to 1000 kilometers in entry-level. Once he stabilizes at an early level then my range will increase again to 2500 km and every breakthrough will have the same increment until he gets the 10k range at peak level. Layla said that if there is no restriction placed on me then the range is higher and he needs to be in the Star stage to be free from the restrictions.

Tang San and Xiao Wu go out after the meal because he wants to look at the sunset and clear his head while the girl followed him to a cliff near the village. Raizen readies the item needed to immortalize the confession.

He stopped recording when Tang San started explaining his hidden weapon to Xiao Wu. Raizen was touched when he said that he considered him as one of his relatives. He can destroy the Spirit Hall now even killing that so-called Extreme Doulou and help her mother gain human form again. But if he does it now then Tang San will lose most of his motivation to gain strength. He will be safe but he will be weaker than the original and might be stuck here rather than gaining godhood.

So Raizen will just let fate takes its course and prevent Tang San from dying.

Five years have passed, Tang San and Xiao Wu came to Suotuo City to enroll for Shrek Academy where their big brother Raizen is currently working. Their brother has given a recommendation letter and a map of where the academy is.

Xwu: "We're finally here at Suotuo City and tomorrow with can meet big brother Raizen again. I was really sad when he left last year. The food became pale all of a sudden."

Tsan: "We still have time for the opening of recruitments so let's find an inn first so that we can rest."

Xwu: "No, let's go shopping first."

Xiao Wu then drags Tang San around the market when he notices an antique shop that is leaking with spirit energy. Tang San notice an item then ask how much is it. The owner keep increasing the price but then notice the spirit tool on the waist of Tang San and just gave away the item.

Xiao Wu pick a love hotel not knowing the purpose of the establishment not even Tang San know. Their brother did not even bother to say these things in his letters so the two are clueless about where they want to stay.

In getting the room, they had a brief conflict with Dai Mubai but then he recommend them to go to Shrek Academy. The two laughs and Dai Mubai ask. The two showed the letter to him that is when he knew that they were already planning to go to the academy.

DM: "So you got a recommendation. It is even signed by the principal. Hmm... Even without this, you two will pass the entrance exam. Just don't be late tomorrow."

The next they, the two were walking along the road leading to Shrek Academy.

Xwu: "Are you sure we are in the right place?"

Tsan: "With master and brother's similar map, I know that we getting close to the academy."

Xwu: "I can't wait to taste brother's food again."

Tsan: "Same"

Few more minutes of walking, they finally arrived at the academy. There are people wanting their son and daughter to go to the academy but the rule said:

12 years of age and above or equal to join the academy.

When Tang San and Xiao Wu paid their application fee, Dai Mubai give them a thumbs up. Then the faculty that managed the entrance exam checked if they are qualified which they do and just gesture them to follow their senior inside the academy. Then a girl came next that was also able to join. The three notice a guy who is known as Oscar selling smelly tofu. Dai Mubai walks up to him.

DM: "Oscar! Why are you selling again the tofu, I thought mister Raizen told you to be ready because in a few hours you guys will go to the city to sell food."

Oscar: "I still have time, he also said that he will watch his brother and sister fight for the fourth exam so he told me that we might sell at night time."

DM: "Brother and sister? *thinking, then looked at Tang San* Can you show me again your recommendation letter?"

Tang San handed the letter.

DM: "Are you guys relative to mister Raizen?"

Xwu: "We are his brother and sister."

DM: "So that's why you guys have a letter with the signature of the principal. You don't know this but, before mister Raizen came to the academy, we are in a tough position financially. At first, our principal did not want him to join because the school can't pay additional faculty members. But mister Raizen showed the principal a letter and give him a chance. Since then, by just mister Raizen's cooking alone, the school is being funded enough to even give raise to the salary of the teachers. The condition that mister Raizen demand is for his brother and sister to be given a chance to attend the academy hence the recommendation letter.

Even though mister Raizen has low spirit energy, the principal still accepted him because he helped the school in his own way."

Tang San did not comment on the explanation because it seems like the people of the school don't know the level of his brother.

Flashback to when Tang San gets his first spirit ring

R: "Do not tell anyone what I have shown you. For safety reasons and it's not time yet. There are other two more people that know but I would not tell who those two were."

End of Flashback

When Tang San was about to tell Xiao Wu, brother Raizen pops from behind them. That's when he knows that not even their sister has to know. He said that in time she will know.

Now Tang San and the others are being led to the fourth exam with the other two students. In the fourth exam, they would need to fight Dai Mubai to pass.

Xwu: Wouldn't be fair for you if you fight the four of us?

??: "Then I will conduct the exam! Fair enough for you? You four can fight as a group. You will be fighting me for a period of time and if one of you still standing then it will be considered a pass."

Dai Mubai told the four that they are in big trouble fighting the vice principal.

Tsan: "What level of spirit master is the vice principal?"

DM: "LEVEL 76 SPIRIT SAINT."

The four of them got stunned for a moment when they know the level of the opponent. Tang San bring the four together and made a plan. The other two people introduce themselves. Zhu ZhuQing level 27 light attack beast spirit master and Ning Rong Rong level 26 support machine spirit master.

Before the fight started, Tang San and Xiao Wu notice their big brother standing with Dai Mubai.

Tsan/Xwu: "Big brother!"

Raizen: "It's good to see you two but you need to pass the exam first from vice-principal Zhao Wuji then we can talk later. *looks at Wuji* If my brother and sister got beaten to death, I will tell principal Flander to tie you on a pole while we eat a royal version of the food I sell for the VIPs."

Zhao Wuji gulps at that because he was already addicted to the food made by Raizen and compared to the food served at some restaurants in the city. It's like comparing heaven and earth. That is why they only sell food for 3 hours every two days to not bankrupt the other food establishments but it also means that the food they sell starts at 100 gold coins up to 1000 coins not including being invited to cook for VIPs and special events that also promotes Shrek Academy so that's why Flender is very accepting of the demands of Raizen. In terms of influence, Raizen has the highest authority. With the amount that they have so far that was amassed in only a year, they can build a better school rivaling the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy twice over. But Raizen suggests just aiming for the quality of students, not quantity. Flander almost squanders the wealth.

Before the start of the fight, Raizen pulled out the camcorder that he used before when Tang San "confessed" to Xiao Wu five years ago. The people around him were curious about what he was holding but didn't ask and focus on the fight that is about to happen.

The camcorder that Raizen is the one he made when they were in Remnant so it can slow-mo at a higher rate so that fast action can be seen again. He even tested this with Ruby's semblance.

Back to the fight, the four did what they have done in the manhua. Zhu zhu Qing and Xiao Wu were defeated, Tang San fought Zhao Wuji alone with his hidden weapons for a full hourglass and manage to last long enough to win the condition.

R: *looking at Zhao Wuji* "Well you did what you have to do *looks at Xiao Wu* But my sister is still unconscious so can only have the servings for a week."

Zhao Wuji cried a little because he will get less from the usual portion. Raizen gives a bowl of soup to him.

R: "Here eat this for consolation for the coming week. It has Oscar's smelly tofu without the smell."

Wuji appreciates that he doesn't need to eat the tofu from Oscar directly and can still eat delicious food at the same time.

Raizen walks up to the unconscious rabbit girl. He then pulls out a carrot that is slightly glistening. This is one of many foods that are inside of his time chamber that was saturated from the ten times energy that the chamber produces compared to the outside world.

He sway the carrot near the nose of Xiao Wu and after six seconds, she opens her eye and snatched the carrot from Raizen then start eating it. For the others watching, the two people who don't know, they see that the injuries that Xiao Wu took from the fight are visibly healing away.

When Raizen sees that her sister is ok, he gave the others chocolate with similar properties to the carrot that is already gone from Xiao Wu's hand and looks at him with puppy dog eyes.

R: "Xiao Wu, if I gave you another one, you won't be full when we started eating for the celebration of recruiting new students."

At night, Zhao Wuji was called and beaten by Tang San's father.
