Soon, a week of classes ended, and Sunday arrived as scheduled.
Unlike other ordinary academies, Spirit Master academies operate on a single-day off system, where students only have free time on Sundays.
Even the usually strict Grandmaster Wu Changkong didn't assign any special training tasks.
The morning sun streamed into the dormitory through the curtains, and Fang Yang and the others successively got up.
Xie Xie stretched, enthusiastically suggesting, "Hey, Fang Yang, Wu Lin, it's a rare day off today, should we go out and relax?"
Tang Wulin heard this and shook his head, "Sorry Xie Xie, I have to go to the Forging Master Association."
"Again?"
Xie Xie frowned, "Wu Lin, you run to the Forging Master Association every time you have free time, isn't that too much?"
Tang Wulin paused, explaining, "My sub-profession is a Forging Master, and…"
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I still owe Fang Yang for the Soul Spirit money."
"What?"
Xie Xie suddenly turned to look at Fang Yang, with a hint of blame in his eyes, "Fang Yang, Wu Lin's family is already not well off, how could you…"
"Xie Xie! You misunderstood Fang Yang."
Tang Wulin quickly interrupted him, his voice raised a few octaves.
He explained seriously, "My family background is very ordinary, my family couldn't afford a Soul Spirit for me, so I went to learn forging. I worked for three years and saved a total of 30,000, but only later did I realize that this amount of money couldn't even buy the most ordinary Soul Spirit…"
The dormitory suddenly fell silent, even the sound of breathing was clearly audible.
Tang Wulin's voice deepened a bit, with a hint of bitterness, "Finally, I spent 30,000 to choose a random Soul Spirit, and the result… was a man-made defective Spiritual Plant snake."
Speaking of this, Tang Wulin's fists unconsciously clenched.
That feeling of despair was still fresh in his memory; he had worked hard for three whole years, but could only possess that weak grass snake.
"It was Fang Yang."
Tang Wulin raised his head, his eyes shining with sincere gratitude, "He gave me a century soul spirit without a word. This is what I owe him."
Some words he didn't say, if it weren't for Fang Yang's timely help!
He might never have discovered that he had twin spirits.
Zhou Changxi, standing by, was moved and couldn't help but pat Tang Wulin's shoulder.
He wanted to say something comforting but didn't know where to start.
Xie Xie then realized, scratching his head a bit sheepishly, "Haji Yang, I was wrong to blame you, you're a true friend."
Fang Yang smiled helplessly and waved his hand, "It was just a small favor, don't take it to heart."
At this moment, Xie Xie suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "By the way, Wu Lin, you still haven't told me what Rank your forging is at now? Every time I ask you, you never answer directly."
"I am a Rank Two Forging Master," Tang Wulin said calmly.
Xie Xie's eyes widened, looking at Fang Yang in surprise, "What? You're a Rank Two Forging Grandmaster?"
"Wow!"
Zhou Changxi, standing by, also exclaimed.
Although he didn't understand forging, he was very clear about professional Ranks.
You know, a Rank Two professional can easily support himself and already has the ability to survive in society.
A Rank Three professional is a qualitative leap; at that level, one has already crossed the threshold into high society.
And at Rank Five, no matter what the profession, they are truly the elite class of society, known as Grandmasters.
From the economic situation of the four people in the dormitory, Xie Xie, as the young master of the Xie Family in Donghai City, was naturally the wealthiest.
Next was Fang Yang; his usual spending habits showed he was rich.
After all, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda has always been known for its wealth and never spares any effort in cultivating its core members.
Zhou Changxi and Tang Wulin were relatively ordinary, but Tang Wulin could already support himself with his forging income, while Zhou Changxi still had to rely on his family's assistance.
Xie Xie's eyes darted, as if he suddenly thought of something, and he put his arm around Tang Wulin's neck, "Wu Lin, are we brothers?"
Fang Yang saw through Xie Xie's thoughts at a glance, "Haji Xie, don't think I don't know what you're up to."
As the young master of the Xie Family in Donghai City, Xie Xie came from a famous mecha master family.
His biggest dream was to become a top mecha master.
Manufacturing mechas requires a large amount of high-quality metal Materials, and if he could establish a deep friendship with a Forging Master with unlimited potential, it would naturally be of great benefit to his future.
Xie Xie wasn't annoyed at being exposed, but instead chuckled, "How could that be?"
He turned to Tang Wulin, patted his chest and promised, "Wu Lin, how about helping me forge some mecha parts in the future? Don't worry, I'll definitely pay the highest market price, I won't let you suffer any loss."
Tang Wulin was amused by his appearance and nodded helplessly, "Okay, when my skill is sufficient, I will definitely help you."
"Good brothers, for life!" Xie Xie excitedly hugged Tang Wulin's shoulder tightly, his face beaming with a sincere smile.
And so, in the future, Xie Xie married Tang Wulin, and they lived happily ever after.
Cough cough, that's naturally false.
"Alright, alright, I'm going to the Forging Master Association first. Next time we have free time, let's go."
Tang Wulin smiled as he broke free from Xie Xie's "devil's claws" and also turned to leave the dormitory.
Xie Xie's gaze immediately turned to Fang Yang, his eyes glinting with mischievous light.
Fang Yang quickly took a step back, crossing his arms in front of his chest in a defensive posture, "No, Xie Xie, I'm not interested in men, I already have Gu Yue!"
"Tch! What's so good about women? They only affect my Cultivation speed."
Xie Xie pouted, deliberately putting on a disdainful expression.
Fang Yang straightened his collar, a barely concealed smile on his lips, "That's good, I'm going to find Gu Yue."
"Traitor!"
Xie Xie gritted his teeth, looking at Fang Yang, "Haji Yang, you traitor to the single dog association! What happened to staying single until graduation?"
Fang Yang laughed loudly as he walked out of the dormitory, leaving Xie Xie fuming and stomping his feet inside.
Sunlight streamed through the window onto Xie Xie, who looked at the only remaining Zhou Changxi in the dormitory.
Xie Xie shrugged helplessly, turning to Zhou Changxi, "Well, it's just the two of us left again."
Zhou Changxi's body noticeably stiffened at the remark.
He quietly shuffled two steps towards the door, fine beads of sweat even appearing on his forehead.
Just as Xie Xie was about to speak, Zhou Changxi quickly said, "Um… Xie Xie, I suddenly remembered I have something urgent!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already dashed towards the door at a hundred-meter sprint speed.
"Eh? Wait!"
Xie Xie's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, looking blankly at Zhou Changxi's retreating figure as he rushed out the door, "I haven't finished speaking yet…"
The dormitory door closed again, and Xie Xie stood alone, his expression gradually changing from confusion to disbelief: "I was just about to say, where should we go to play? Why did that guy run off?"
He scratched his head, muttering to himself, "Am I that scary?"
Xie Xie even looked in the mirror, "I'm clearly quite handsome…"
In the empty dormitory, Xie Xie sighed and flopped onto his bed, sprawled out: "Alright, it seems today is destined to be spent alone…"
But then he suddenly sat up, his eyes lighting up: "No! I have to go out, what if I have a chance encounter?"
