Tang San: Isn't Getting Strong Easy?

However, Yun Feng didn't dwell on his thoughts for long. He quickly got out of bed, washed up, and found a table full of food. Jack was already sitting at the table, watching him.

"You're up, come and eat something," Jack said.

Yun Feng smiled slightly at the peaceful everyday scene and nodded. "I know, Grandpa."

Halfway through the meal, Yun Feng suddenly spoke up, "Grandpa, do you have any advice about soul masters?"

Jack was momentarily stunned by Yun Feng's question. He hadn't expected it. After all, Jack wasn't a soul master and didn't know much about them. But seeing the anticipation in Yun Feng's eyes, he smiled and said, "Xiao Feng, Grandpa isn't a soul master, so I don't know much about it. I don't want to give you any advice that might lead you astray. If you take the wrong path, it'll take more time to correct it later. All I can tell you is to stick to your true self."

Yun Feng was a little taken aback by his grandfather's words. "Stick to my true self?"

He nodded slowly. "I understand, Grandpa."

Although Yun Feng received the advice, he noticed that nothing seemed to change in his mindscape. Was the advice not valid? Yun Feng was a bit confused.

To be sure he wasn't wrong, Yun Feng asked several other questions, but none of them triggered a new suggestion.

[Reminder: Advice from background characters is limited to once. Only important characters can provide unlimited advice.]

Yun Feng couldn't help but smile wryly. He quickly finished his meal and said to Jack, "Grandpa, I'm going to find Tang San. Isn't he also heading to the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy with me? I'll go talk to him!"

Jack was pleased to hear this and nodded. In his eyes, both his grandson and Tang San had soul power, and both were talented and mature for their age. Building a good relationship with Tang San would mean Yun Feng could have someone looking out for him at the academy.

"Go ahead. Oh, and take this for Xiaosan," Jack said, handing Yun Feng a steamed bun from the table.

After taking the bun, Yun Feng smiled and left home, heading toward the most secluded area in the village.

When he reached Tang San's house and saw the closed door, Yun Feng instantly knew that Tang San wasn't home. Without giving it much thought, he turned and headed up the mountain.

From afar, Yun Feng saw Tang San's small figure sitting cross-legged on the hilltop, and his mind wandered for a moment. To be honest, Yun Feng wanted the *Mysterious Heaven Technique* for himself. When he first arrived in this world, he tried to find opportunities to get it, but Tang San had always brushed him off.

Over time, Yun Feng gradually let go of this idea. After all, the technique was Tang San's core skill, his foundation. If Yun Feng had such a treasure, he wouldn't share it easily either, especially not with a child.

Though he understood, there was still a hint of disappointment in his heart.

But now, Yun Feng's mindset had shifted. With a system backing him, it was like being crowned with imperial robes. There was no longer any reason to envy Tang San.

As for the things he knew from his past life, Yun Feng didn't plan to comment too much on them. Tang San had his path to walk, and Yun Feng had his own. As the saying goes, "Two travelers on different roads rarely meet."

Even if they were both from the same hometown, they wouldn't necessarily be able to form a strong bond. After all, one was a modern soul, and the other was from ancient times—how could sparks fly between them? And who's to say they even came from the same world? As long as Tang San didn't stab him in the back, that was already good enough.

So aside from those early years, Yun Feng didn't have much interaction with Tang San.

At that moment, Tang San's meditation came to an end, and he noticed Yun Feng approaching. He furrowed his brow slightly in confusion but still smiled and said, "Yun Feng, why are you on the mountain so early?"

"I've already told you, you can't learn my techniques. It's not that I don't want to teach you!" Tang San added.

Hearing this, Yun Feng felt helpless inside, but he didn't show it. Instead, he pretended to be a cool kid, saying, "Tang San, my grandpa asked me to bring you a bun, in case you didn't have anything to eat."

It wasn't that Yun Feng wanted to act like a child—he found it a bit embarrassing, to be honest—but since the system came into play, many thoughts had flashed through his mind. After all, who hadn't been coaxed by adults as a kid? "Eat more, and you'll grow tall!" or "Finish your homework, and I'll buy you something nice."

That's why Yun Feng decided not to act like an adult, especially since he was only six years old. It made sense to act this way.

As expected, when Tang San saw Yun Feng's slightly smug expression, he couldn't help but chuckle, feeling much more relaxed.

At first, Tang San was a bit wary, wondering if Yun Feng had come to spy on him and steal the *Mysterious Heaven Technique*. After all, Tang San had once stolen the Tang Sect's secrets himself, so he knew the risks.

But looking at Yun Feng now, Tang San saw him as just an innocent kid.

"Thanks to Grandpa Jack," Tang San said as his stomach grumbled.

Without overthinking, he took the bun from Yun Feng and started eating.

Once Tang San finished eating and was ready to head down the mountain, he noticed Yun Feng was still following him. Puzzled, he asked, "Yun Feng, why are you still following me? Don't you need to go home?"

Yun Feng chuckled inwardly, "Of course, I'm here to get some benefits."

But he didn't say that out loud. Instead, he put on his cool kid act and said, "Tang San, I want to learn how you got stronger. You have a Blue Silver Grass martial spirit like me, but you were born with full innate soul power. You must have some special method. Can you teach me?"

Tang San was startled by Yun Feng's sharp insight, but there was no way he could teach him the *Mysterious Heaven Technique*.

So, he responded casually, "Yun Feng, I already told you, you can't learn it."

He tried to leave, but Yun Feng grabbed his sleeve, eyes brimming with tears.

"Tang San, I only have level one innate soul power. I just want to get stronger. Can't you help me?"

Tang San's patience was wearing thin, but not wanting to cause any trouble, he sighed and said, "Okay, okay. Getting stronger is easy. I'll tell you: just go to bed early, wake up early, drink plenty of hot water, and your innate soul power will increase. It's really simple!"
