Chapter 339: Traces and Clues
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
Having received Fukang’s the Huang’s family head’s number, Tang Xiu fell into deep thought and didn’t immediately contact him nor gave it to the Tang Family.
At present, he was clueless as to what extent the circumstance had developed into. Hence, he chose to act cool-headedly instead of recklessly getting himself involved.
Furthermore, the Tangs and the Yaos were not just clans of business. Most importantly, both families had ties in the political field. With high-level political contests coming into the field, it would lead to all sorts of trouble once he intervened.
Just like using the best steel to make the knife’s edge, he was indeed the best resource at the moment! But the conflict between the Tangs and the Yaos was only at the initial stage, far from the life and death stage. Unless the Tang family was about to suffer massive losses, which could seriously hamper the Tang Family, only then would he act without reserve.
However, he actually still had time to visit the Huang family’s head since the Huang family head and the Everlasting Feast Hall had a deep relationship.
After analyzing the situation, he decided to contact the Huang family head tomorrow. He then put away all his thoughts to the back of his mind and he went back to his bed, sitting cross-legged and began cultivating.
At present, his cultivation had drastically progressed and reached the peak of the Flesh Strengthening Stage. There was only a step left before he made the breakthrough to the Bone Transformation Stage. He fortunately didn’t get stuck in the Flesh Strengthening Stage for a long time due to his fortuitous encounter in Nine Dragons Island.
Sitting cross-legged in cultivation, layer upon layer of star force from the stars in the sky surged in as though tide waves toward Tang Xiu. His star force’s absorption speed now was several times faster compared with when he was in the Skin Strengthening Stage. Unfortunately, the heaven and earth Spiritual Qi in Shanghai was extremely scarce, causing his cultivation speed to be far worse than when he was cultivating in Nine Dragons Island.
The Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis was divided into three realms. The first: Stars Tyrannical Body Realm, was divided into nine stages, which were the Vitality Tempering, the Skin Strengthening, the Bone Transformation, the Meridian Transformation, the Marrow Transformation, the Viscera Transformation, the Blood and Qi Circulation, and the Nine Cores Phase Forming.
By now, he was at the peak of the Flesh Strengthening Stage. Though it couldn’t be compared with the Golden Core Stage, it didn’t have much difference. He had the confidence to have comparable strength to a initial level Golden Core Stage expert once he broke through to the Bone Transformation Stage.
The more his cultivation advanced, the more secret arts he could use. However, in today’s modern society, he didn’t have much opportunity to use them.
_It seems I need to cultivate in Nine Dragons Island if I want to increase my strength quickly._
After cultivating for four hours, Tang Xiu slowly opened his eyes, his handsome face showing a wry smile. The result of his four hours of cultivation were only comparable with half an hour of practice in Nine Dragons Island.
At 8:00 AM.
Woken up from his sleep, Tang Xiu washed his face and rinsed his mouth. After refreshing himself, he went downstairs and then realized that there was nobody in this villa aside from himself. There was no housemaid here to help him make breakfast unlike in South Gate Town.
_Should I hire a domestic worker?_
Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment. He then decided to take the time to find a housekeeping service company and choose a good-natured and diligent domestic worker.
“I gotta go to the campus and buy some food on the way!”
Tang shook his head and forced out a wry smile. After leaving the villa complex, he bought some food in a shop near the business district and didn’t take a cab as he ate while walking.
Though the student’s military training would begin on the seventh of this month, Tang Xiu himself didn’t want to attend it. The university’s military training subject was simply a child’s play for him. Attending it would only be an utter nuisance. Hence, he had long decided to find Le Baiyi after going to the classroom today. Since the man was the Vice Dean of the Department of History at Shanghai University, he should have the ability to help him withdrawal from the military training subject.
The B Building’s classroom, on the fourth floor.
As Tang Xiu arrived at the classroom, there were twenty to thirty people scattered around the classroom. Yue Kai, Hu Qingsong, Zhao Liang and two other students who had a party yesterday were gathered together as they laughed and chatted.
“Eldest Brother Tang!”
Seeing Tang Xiu’s arrival, Hu Qingsong’s eyes immediately turned bright as he waved and shouted. With his loud voice, the other twenty to thirty students in the classroom all looked at Tang Xiu almost in an instant.
They heard about Tang Xiu’s name when they came to the campus. Not only they learned that Tang Xiu was the top scorer of the CET’s science subject in Shuangqing province, they also learned that Tang Xiu’s former class’ teacher in charge was also their current class’ teacher in charge.
Smiling at all of his classmates, Tang Xiu then strode toward Hu Qingsong’s side and said with a smile, “Doesn’t it say that the class begins at 9:30? Why are you here so early?”
“What else but to meet and greet?! It’s the first day where all classmates meet each other, dude. Although nearly half of our classmates have yet to arrive, but we still wanna know whether we have striking belles in our class. But heck, it’s really a pity…” said Yue Kai.
Tang Xiu couldn’t help laughing. When he entered the classroom, he saw that their class only had six girls, and their appearances were very ordinary.
“We are here to study, mate. If you wanna chase after girls, you’d better go to the bar outside the campus. But seeing your circumstance, it should be easy for you to pick up some paid hot chicks who fool around in nightclubs,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
“Nah, I’m not interested in the king that casually invite men to their rooms.” Yue Kai waved his hand and said, “Don’t you think enjoying that kind of chick is kinda like scavenging junk?”
