Chapter 118: Leaving today for Heaven Dou Imperial Academy

After the Sky Swallowing Demonic Beast incident, it's worth mentioning that Xiao Tianyang did not abandon his plan to train in the Star Dou Forest.

On the contrary, after his strength improved, his curiosity about the forest only grew stronger. Almost every week, he would set aside two days to go there.

Perhaps due to a combination of caution and good luck, he had yet to encounter any real danger during this period.

Aside from that, he focused on training three core aspects: soul bones, weapon techniques, and physical skills. Among these, mastering soul bones proved to be the most challenging, followed by weapons, while physical skills were the easiest to refine.

One reason for this is that controlling impact force relies on his body's ability to regulate power. The slightest miscalculation can result in vastly different outcomes.

For instance, Xiao Tianyang could crush a walnut with a single shockwave of force. But if he accidentally used twice that power, he could easily shatter a wooden table. This issue was difficult to resolve.

For now, his only solution was to meticulously calculate the strength of each strike, but he had yet to find an alternative method.

As for weapon training, Cong Yunqie was originally a Yanyue Dao (Reclining Moon Blade) from a previous era. It wasn't designed for combat but rather as a tool to train arm strength. However, with a strong foundation and sufficient power, it was still feasible to use such a weapon in battle.

Moreover, Xiao Tianyang had once obtained a book detailing a hundred weapon techniques. It provided in-depth knowledge of various cold weapons, their fundamental principles, and most importantly, the key areas to focus on.

This was crucial because different weapons had distinct characteristics: swords were swift, sabers were fierce, spears were agile, and lances were domineering. Each had its own strengths and combat styles.

Of course, it all boiled down to one thing: as long as you had the power to wield them effectively, anything was possible. Accidents could happen anywhere, and Xiao Tianyang took full advantage of that fact.

By blending the strengths of sabers, spears, and lances, he aimed to make his strikes ferocious, his movements agile, and his attacks overwhelming. If he could successfully integrate these aspects, he would be on the right path in mastering weapons.

However, he was still in the experimental phase, and progress was not particularly fast.

As for physical skills, Xiao Tianyang barely needed additional training.

His foundation was already excellent, and he had recently gained an exclusive attribute: [Master of Physical Strength], which significantly enhanced his physique.

If progress were measured by a bar, Xiao Tianyang's current mastery levels would be:

Soul Bone Mastery: 20% 

Weapon Mastery: 30%

Physical Skill Mastery: 120% 

The disparity was quite evident…

Additionally, Xiao Tianyang dedicated some time to studying his external soul bone—Xuanjing Phoenix Wings. However, there weren't many surprises.

The main enhancement was his ability to release more feather projections and control their direction mid-flight.

 …

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Just the day before yesterday, Xiao Tianyang had set out for the Star Dou Forest to train and only returned early this morning. However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of Shrek Academy, he was stunned.

Tang San and the others were already gathered there.

"Am I seeing things? It's only six in the morning, and you guys are already up?" Xiao Tianyang circled them with a questioning look. "Did you mess up last night and get punished to stand here all night?"

"You're the one being punished!" Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at him. "The day before yesterday, the dean announced that we would be leaving today for Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

"How come I didn't know about this?" Xiao Tianyang was briefly taken aback before realization struck him. "Oh, I was still in the Star Dou Forest at that time. No wonder I didn't hear about it."

Tang San reminded him, "Brother Tianyang, go pack your things quickly. The dean will be here soon."

Xiao Tianyang stretched lazily and replied, "No need. I always carry everything I need with me before heading out."

The items in his room were rather unique. If someone stole them and discovered their functions, it would undoubtedly lead to trouble. To avoid unnecessary risks, he had a habit of taking all his lottery rewards, including his massage chair, with him whenever he traveled.

"By the way, Brother Tianyang, we haven't had breakfast yet. Why don't you make something while you have time?" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up as she suddenly suggested.

"Too much trouble. Let's just make do with these." Xiao Tianyang pulled out eight palm-sized objects and handed them over.

Everyone reached out to take one, and Saber was the first to ask, "What is this?"

"A sandwich, a type of breakfast food," Xiao Tianyang explained. "Think of it as a lighter version of the burger I made last time."

Next, he took out a large thermos filled with a milky-white drink. "This is soy milk. I made it this morning. Eat and drink at the same time, and you won't feel rushed."

Without hesitation, everyone started eating.

"Wow, this is delicious! It's not as fragrant as freshly made food, but it's way better than anything from outside!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed as he took a bite.

Oscar nodded in agreement. "Of course! Haven't you heard? If it's made by Tianyang, it's guaranteed to be top quality."

Dai Mubai nearly choked on his food upon hearing that. "Oscar, your flattery is ridiculous."

Xiao Tianyang, standing nearby, was speechless.

Ever since Bubu started selling goods in the academy, Oscar and Ma Hongjun had been acting strangely.

Their way of speaking was simply too exaggerated. To be honest, if Xiao Tianyang didn't already know why they were behaving this way, he would have thought they were from the same world as him.

Saber suddenly asked, "By the way, Tianyang, where's Bubu?"

"No idea. It ran off as soon as I got back." Xiao Tianyang looked around briefly before waving it off. "Forget it, it'll show up eventually."

"Everyone's here. Let's go."

At that moment, Flender's voice rang out. The group turned to see him leading several teachers toward them.

Without further words, Flender glanced at the school gate plaque, stored it away, and led the way forward.

Xiao Tianyang followed along with the group but gradually fell behind.

He thought of a certain young man. "He should be in Heaven Dou City by now, right? I wonder what his attitude will be when we meet again."

For some reason, Xiao Tianyang found himself looking forward to it.

As for fear? That was out of the question. His strength had now stabilized at level 38, and with his various abilities, he could easily take on a Soul Emperor. Even that young man wouldn't be a match for him.

"Tianyang, what's on your mind?" Saber's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Oh, I was just thinking about something and got lost in thought." Xiao Tianyang smiled. "Let's go. We'll fall behind if we dawdle any longer."
