Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Practice
River, Axile Village.
Xin finally reached the location he wanted to practice at this time. The location chosen by Xin has a cool and comfortable place. Xin preferred being in this kind of location to being in the village because there were so many people walking around that it was difficult for her to concentrate on doing anything.
"Let's start by increasing the level we have." Xin said slowly, "By doing meditation, I should be able to absorb the energy around me to turn it into my strength."
Although now Xin has become a zen master. He wasn't at any level yet in the zen master world. His current body didn't have any zen energy at all that could be used to fight or use some kind of ability. Xin is required to increase his level to be able to start his training program.
The exercise program compiled by Xin requires you to have zen energy in your body. Therefore, Xin is required to reach the first level in the world of Zen masters to start his practice.
Xin quickly found a comfortable place to meditate. It didn't take long for him to find a place under a very shady blue-leaved banyan tree and then immediately sat there while looking for the best position.
"Let's start"
Xin who managed to get into a good position immediately closed his eyes.
"What's this?"
Xin, who was just about to start his practice, suddenly found something strange in his body. Different from before, Xin, who was now reborn after participating in the resurrection ceremony, could feel all the insides of his body which was something he had never felt before.
Xin found a container that was in his current body where the container was currently locked as if by something.
"...Could it be...This vessel is some kind of zen energy storage place inside my body while the key that is pulled out is an object that must be opened by me to use the vessel to store my zen energy. Does that mean as long as I unlock it, is it possible for me to go straight to level one? Maybe...I can give it a try. It's supposed to open the lock using zen energy, right?"
Xin started to focus his mind and slowly he ordered his body through his mind to start absorbing the zen energy that was around where she was right now. Gradually the zen energy in the environment around him began to gather around Xin and enter his body. Xin begins to control the zen energy towards the key.
"Cracked!..."
"Destroyed!..."
The lock cracked and then immediately shattered due to the push made by Xin using the zen energy that entered his body.
"This feeling..."
At the moment the lock is destroyed by Xin using the zen energy drawn by him from the surroundings. Xin felt very comfortable feeling. Zen energy that previously could not enter due to being blocked by the key is now slowly starting to fill the container inside Xin's body.
It took about ten minutes for Xin to fill the container he had then he opened his eyes. Xin exhaled and then a smile appeared on her face, "I didn't expect to enter the first level so easily. You only need to open the key then you get the shelter container. It's just..." Xin chuckled softly, "It should only be at the start of this easy moment. The future will not be like this. I need to upgrade my container slowly and maybe as I approach the second level, there will be a barrier that I have to break to be able to increase my level."
"...But, at least this is enough for me to start the exercise program" Xin stood up from his seat, "It's better to start at this time since my amount of zen energy is still small and it's easy to control exercises with this amount of zen. Before that, let's collect the stones to use."
The reason behind Xin choosing to be near a river as his practice site was because there were a lot of rocks in the area around here that Xin wanted to use to help him improve his control over his zen energy. Xin immediately took off the clothes he was wearing and then went straight down to the river to collect the rocks that were there.
"Xin?"
Right at the same time, Tang Yu who wanted to also start his practice passed where Xin was practicing and found Xin going down the river collecting rocks.
"Gathering stones? What does he want to do?"
Tang Yu was confused by what Xin did. He had the urge to stay and observe the actions of Xin. However, after ten minutes of monitoring and finding that Xin was only collecting stones, Tang Yu's desire to stay vanished instantly. He quickly immediately left the location and headed up the mountain to start training there.
About an hour was needed by Xin to collect a large number of stones. You can see that in the area where Xin practiced meditation before, there are a large number of small rocks the size of Xin's hand that have gathered to form a hill.
"This is enough. At least, as long as it takes extra, there is still plenty left in the river"
Xin then immediately took his clothes and immediately put on the clothes. Xin went to pick up a fallen tree trunk and then used the tree item as a place for him to sit.
"Energy control practice...This is a mandatory exercise for me as long as I want to be able to freely control my zen energy. As long as I can perfectly master the control of my energy...It will be easy in the future to develop any kind of ability that I wish to develop even in some cases, this energy control is very useful for hiding my existence from a zen master. Let's start this practice"
Xin took two stones and one of the stones was held by him while the other stone was placed in front of him. Xin then started to mobilize his zen energy to be enveloped in the rock held by his with the amount of energy he thought was sufficient.
Xin then directly attacked the rock in front of him with the rock he was currently holding.
"Destroyed!..."
The rock that was the target of Xin's attack shattered instantly. Xin continued to pick up another stone.
"Destroyed!..."
"Destroyed!..."
"Destroyed!..."
"Destroyed!..."
"Destroyed!..."
"Destroyed!..."
"Um?"
By the time he entered the seventh boulder, the crushed boulder was not the boulder that was the target of the attack from the boulder that Xin was holding but the boulder that shattered.
"...Looks like I'll have to start over from the beginning. Uhm? Before that, I ran out of energy, I need to recharge it"
Xin took a deep breath and then immediately fell into meditation. Some zen energy quickly began to enter Xin's body again and began to fill the container that was inside his body.
"Uhm? As I expected"
A smile appeared on Xin's face. Xin found that currently, the number of containers owned by him had grown larger than before. The addition of this container itself is greater than Xin having to keep filling it with zen energy even though his zen energy is still full.
This concept itself is like the concept of doing something repeatedly but slowly adding to it. For running sports where when a person is exercising for example running, on the first day to the third day, he might only be able to reach a distance of three kilometers without stopping at all at a constant speed, then on the fourth day, because he has gotten used to it, the distance has started to increase to 3.1 kilometers and will slowly continue to grow.
Xin, who has succeeded in replenishing the zen energy in his body, begins to train his zen energy control again.
Xin did this exercise repeatedly until noon when he needed to return to replenish his body's energy.
*******
"Xin"
Just as Xin was about to return to the village, he suddenly heard his name being called by someone. Xin turned around and found Tang Yu running towards him.
"You seem to have also started to train. Did your father allow you to become a zen master?" Xin immediately asked Tang Yu who had arrived beside him then walked together back to the village.
"Father hasn't allowed it yet." Tang Yu shook his head with a slightly sad expression.
"...I don't think I need to ask about this." Xin casually replied, "It's hard to convince Uncle Tang. He's a stubborn character, maybe. Aren't you trying to ask directly? If you want to become a Zen master, you can say it directly. You'll probably feel sorry as long as you don't say something you wanted to say."
"..." Tang Yu was silent when he heard this.
"You can make your own choice. This is your life, this is your family. I have no right to interfere in this matter." Xin shrugged his shoulders and continued walking towards the village with Tang Yu.
"Earlier I saw you collecting stones, was that part of your training?" Tang Yu immediately changed the subject between them.
"Well, it's part of my training." Xin nodded but did not explain the purpose behind the practice.
Xin knows about the problems experienced by Zen masters in this world. The problem is related to the problem of controlling energy. The zen masters in this world don't know how to control the energy they have. They couldn't control the amount of energy released by them. This was because Zen masters didn't need to think about it since the abilities and skills they could use could be obtained by hunting spirit beasts and then absorbing the spirit crystals they had.
For them, practicing to increase their level is something important compared to having to practice increasing their energy control. Though energy control is very important since a person can control their energy, they are free to expend the amount of energy they want. In this way, an ability that others would consider a weak ability, as long as it was used by someone with perfect energy control, could become something terrifying.
Usually, the abilities of zen masters that they first acquire in spirit beasts are the weakest abilities possessed by them because the amount of energy released by these abilities is less than other abilities. However, it would be different if the one using that ability was someone who could control their energy. The person can mobilize a large amount of zen energy to use the ability which causes abilities that were considered weak before to turn into very frightening abilities.
"You should have reached level one by now, right?" Xin immediately changed the subject again.
"...Yeah, when I first started training, I only needed to destroy the lock so I could fill up the container. You also do this thing?" Tang Yu felt a little strange at Xin's sudden change of topic, "Is there something Xin is hiding? Why didn't he want to talk about his training? Could it be that training is a training that can help one get stronger fast?"
"Well, it's easy enough but only that time we can get ease. In the next period, we are required to increase our strength slowly. This will probably start to get boring unless something is interesting going on at the same time."
"...Well"
Tang Yu agreed with Xin's words. Practice is something very boring as long as that's all they have to do. As long as there's something they can do to break the time they're practicing, it's going to be fun.
******
Some time passed.
"Why did you call me here, Tang Yu?"
Right in the forest which is located close to the area where Xin usually trains, Xin and Tang Yu can be seen there. Meanwhile in a corner not far from their current position. One could see Tang Mu hiding as if he was watching the two of them closely.
"Fight with me Xin"
"Fight?"
Xin raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Yu. Tang Yu's gaze at this time showed that he was not joking with his words.
"Yes, fight with me" Tang Yu confirmed back "I want to see the comparison between the two of us"
"There's no point in seeing a comparison between the two of us." Xin said calmly, "Your zen is a zen that can help you become a control-type as well as a power-type zen master. Meanwhile, my zen is relief-type zen. There was a clear difference between the two of us. As long as we fight, you will win the battle."
"Not necessarily" Tang Yu shook his head, "There are many conditions under which you might win the battle. I want to compare them. Please" Tang Yu slightly lowered his head.
A few months have passed and it's time for the zen master academy's admissions to take place soon. Xin's strength has grown very rapidly in recent times and he has even tried to develop various abilities that can help him fight. Currently, Xin had already reached level ten and only needed to find the absorbed spirit crystals to raise her level.
"...Did Uncle Tang ask you to do this?"
"..."
Tang Yu was speechless listening to Xin's words. Not only Tang Yu but Tang Mu, who was currently watching the conversation between the two, was rendered speechless by Xin's words.
"Could it be...Uncle Tang asked you to fight me so you could get his permission?" Xin asked back calmly, "I've heard from the Village Chief, Uncle Tang has yet to permit you to become a zen master. It's strange enough for me, you came to see me out of the blue and immediately asked me to fight. This should have something to do with Uncle Tang, right? Uncle Tang will ask you to fight me and as long as you win against me or obtain some other result, he will allow you to become a zen master. You're weird enough to even beg like that to fight me. There must be a reason behind all of this."
"...Even knowing this already...He does have extremely frightening observation skills." Tang Yu had a bitter face and found it hard to believe that Xin would easily find the reason behind it, Tang Yu raised his head then nodded slowly, "My dad asked me to do that. As long as I can win against you. He will allow me to become a zen master"
"...That is to say, Uncle Tang has been following me all this time and is probably monitoring my entire development." Xin immediately released his perpetual ability. A large amount of his zen energy immediately spread to the surrounding area of that place.
Xin's gaze immediately glanced to the right and said, "Uncle come out!"
"Uncle?" Tang Yu was confused about this.
"This kid..."
Tang Mu at the time Xin released his perception ability. He already knew about it. However, he chose to remain silent and let himself be known by Xin.
"Don't you want to go out?" Xin who didn't get any response asked back, "I know you are there. Come out and quickly explain the current situation to me! I will not accept Tang Yu's challenge as long as you don't explain this situation to me."
"..."
Tang Yu was confused by the situation that was currently unfolding.
"Burglar!..."
Until Tang Mu walked out from his hiding place.
"D-Father..."
This appearance from Tang Mu made Tang Yu completely surprised as he also glanced at Xin, "H-How did he know that?"
"What's the point of all this, Uncle Tang?" Xin asked while frowning.
"The reason is obvious," Tang Mu said hoarsely, "Xiao Yu asked me to allow him to become a zen master. This is the first time he asked me something. I set rules for him. As long as he can win against you, I will agree for him to become a zen master."
"What if he loses?" Xin asked back as his gaze narrowed, "You should know the power possessed by me, you have followed me and monitored all of my activations. Shouldn't you apologize to me before talking about anything else?"
"This..." Tang Yu was speechless listening to Xin's words.
"...How did you know that?"
"It's weird to think that Tang Yu asked to fight when he knows that my zen is an assist-type zen surely fighting him, he'll win" Xin countered him, "He shouldn't be asking this of me unless there's some reason behind it all"
"Aid-type Zen?" Tang Mu looked at Xin reproachfully, "Brat, do you think that zen of yours is an assist-type zen? Until when do you plan to cover it up?"
"Cover? Didn't Xin tell you about his zen?" Tang Yu's curiosity increased upon hearing this.
"That's none of your business" Xin replied, "That's my business. I don't want to tell my zen is my business. I only tell half, it's my business. None of your business. Before you criticize me, you must be self-aware. Shouldn't you also introspect yourself? Why didn't you tell Tang Yu about your true identity? He has a right to know. Why didn't you say it?"
"Real identity?"
"..."
Tang Mu was speechless listening to Xin's words. He knew that Xin must have guessed something. Tang Mu knew very well how terrifying Xin's observation ability was. He had tried to hide it. However, Xin was very easy to pick up on even the tiniest hint.
"That is my business" Tang Mu replied "I am free not to tell anyone about my identity"
Xin looked at Tang Mu with a sharp gaze.
"Forget about that. Regarding the matter earlier, I apologize." Tang Mu said apologetically then continued, "What about Xiao Yu's challenge?"
"Before that, isn't there anything more you should say?"
"What do you mean?"
"You did say that you apologized, I have accepted it. However, it is not certain that in the future you will come to watch over me again. I don't want things like before to happen again. I want you to promise me never to follow me or watch over me again."
"...Accept Xiao Yu's challenge" Tang Mu replied while looking at Xin seriously, "As long as you accept it, I will do just that."
"No, that's not enough" Xin shook his head, "I want to get one favor from you"
"Help? Aren't you going too far?!" Tang Mu asked in a slightly angry voice.
"I don't think it's too far for me to ask something" Xin fired back, "You did the previous thing, and wasn't that a disgraceful act? Moreover monitoring a child, even if you could come up with an alibi for just keeping watch, I don't think the relationship between us was that close that you would do something like that to me."
"...Accept my terms" Xin continued, "As long as you accept my terms, I will accept Tang Yu's challenge. But, keep in mind, don't regret it. I won't hold back and maybe...Tang Yu won't accept your qualifications."
"Can not accept? Am I going to lose?" Tang Yu felt a little belittled hearing those words from Xin. His hands clenched tightly.
Although the two have never been involved in a fight with each other. Tang Yu always felt that it would be difficult for him to win against Xin. However, he wasn't going to lose. Tang Yu felt he would win but the victory he obtained was extremely difficult to obtain. He never expected to hear Xin say these things directly.
"Hmph! Who decides it, that is my decision" Tang Mu said coldly, "Whether he wins or loses, everything comes back to me. All you need to know is, he fought you and I want to see the result."
"...Good. In that case, accept my terms" Xin shot back, "Otherwise, I have no right to fight with him"
"What favor do you wish to ask of me?" Tang Mu asked seriously.
"Not thought about yet" Xin shook his head, "I will think about it later. I'm sure your help will have a great effect on me and I want to keep it in the future"
"Hmph!" Tang Mu sniffed disdainfully and said, "Fine. I accept it. You must also accept my terms. Fight with Xiao Yu"
"Okay," Xin nodded.
Tang Mu, who heard Xin's approval, immediately jumped towards a nearby tree. His identity was discovered and Tang Yu had already heard all about it. There's no point in hiding any of that anymore. Hence, Tang Mu immediately went to a nearby tree to watch the fight between the two.
Xin's gaze immediately glanced at Tang Yu, "You have listened to it? I accept your challenge"
"...Okay" Tang Yu looked at Xin with a serious look followed by a hint of anger because he felt he was being looked down upon by Xin.
Tang Yu quickly started to prepare himself. His gaze at this time instantly turned serious compared to before. This gaze is not a gaze that should be shown by a child but a gaze shown by someone who has plunged into a battle or fight that could pose a threat to his own life.
"He..."
Xin who saw this look Tang Yu gave his guess in her heart. However, he discarded that guess and started to mobilize his zen energy covering his entire body.
Zen energy is an energy that is invisible to the eye. Therefore, when Xin began to control her energy, no one present saw the energy that was currently enveloping her body. However, Tang Yu and Tang Mu knew that Xin had already begun to mobilize his energy because both of them felt the difference between the previous and current Xin.
"You can start with it," Xin said calmly glancing at Tang Yu.
Tang Yu heard this, his eyes narrowed and immediately a medium-sized rock came out of a pocket in his clothes, and the stone was immediately thrown toward Xin.
Xin who saw the rock that was pointing at him immediately tilted his head to avoid the stone's attack. Seeing that there was an opportunity to attack Xin at this time, Tang Yu immediately used one of their abilities developed by him.
"Shadow Step!"
Tang Yu immediately moved at high speed toward Xin. Tang Yu looks like a shadow where his body is just like a shadow moving at high speed toward Xin. Just when Xin had just managed to dodge the rock thrown by Tang Yu. Tang Yu was already in front of Xin at this time.
"Distraction, huh? It's a good trick indeed but if it's just that, it won't be enough"
Tang Yu who saw that Xin was not moving felt that he had managed to open up an opportunity to attack. A smile appeared on Tang Yu's face as his fists tightly clenched and charged straight at Xin.
"Blow!..."
The attack released by Tang Yu went straight for Xin's chest.
"Agh!..."
Just as the attack released by Tang Yu touched Xin's body. Tang Yu immediately felt intense pain. It was as if his hand was not attacking the body but a very hard metal.
"What happened? Why didn't Xiao Yu's attacks have any effect on Xiao Xin?" Tang Mu frowned at the current situation.
"A distraction stone then perform an attack to get the chance the moment my attention is distracted? That is indeed a very good way. But, you did it to the wrong person." Xin immediately raised his hand and then made a flick of Tang Yu's forehead.
"Blow!..."
Just a flick of Xin's finger which was overflowing with zen energy instantly sent Tang Yu flying backward and even hitting a tree right behind him. His forehead was bleeding from the attack released by Xin.
"This..."
Tang Yu, who wanted to get up quickly, suddenly felt the appearance of someone who was already in front of him. Tang Yu slowly raised his head and saw Xin who had appeared right in front of him. Tang Yu's expression was completely blank at the sight of Xin.
"You lost, Tang Yu," Xin said calmly, "I told you already, didn't I? You will not win this battle."
"..."
Tang Yu was completely speechless listening to Xin's words. Previously, he had thought the gap between himself and Xin wasn't too great that maybe in some cases, he could win the battle. However, the results were completely unexpected. Xin won against him and it was not a difficult win for Xin to get but it was very easy for him to get.
Xin immediately turned around and was about to leave that place.
"Wait!"
Tang Yu, who saw that Xin was about to return immediately stopped him and said, "How? How do you do that?"
Xin's footsteps stopped suddenly when Tang Yu asked about the previous incident.
"What happened? Why? Why is your body so hard as metal?"
"Do I need to answer this question?" Xin asked back.
"..."
"This should only be a possible question for the person answering it, he is an idiot. People can't answer questions that will reveal the secrets they have, especially those related to their abilities."
"..."
Xin's gaze then glanced to the side where Tang Mu had already descended from the tree, "Keep your promise, Uncle. You owe me one favor."
After saying this, Tang Yu and Tang Mu suddenly found that Xin was not in front of them at this time. Xin had disappeared from the location.
"This..."
Tang Yu was completely dumbfounded by everything he saw at this moment, "Am I the only one who always thinks I'm better than him?" A self-deprecating expression appeared on Tang Yu's face at this moment. He was shocked to know that he was defeated by Xin so easily.
"Footsteps!..."
Footsteps could be heard coming towards him, Tang Yu raised his head and saw Tang Mu walking towards him with a calm expression as if his defeat was something normal for him.
"D-Father..." Tang Yu called out to Tang Mu in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Xiao Yu, what is your current strength level?"
"...Currently level five and will likely soon be level six in the next few weeks" Tang Yu was confused by Tang Mu's question. However, he still answered Tang Mu's question with his head lowered.
"Level five in just five months" Tang Mu muttered under his breath and sighed, "Xiao Yu, Dad went to many places when he was young." Tang Mu's voice at this time was different compared to the previous Tang Mu.
Tang Yu who heard this was completely shocked and slowly started to listen to what Tang Mu wanted to say to him, "Among the people that I have met and known so far, you might be said to be one of the most terrifying talents. "
"What a terrifying talent?..." Tang Yu muttered under his breath, "...Is it wrong for Father to say this? How could my talent be so terrifying while I was easily beaten by Xin"
"No, you do have a very frightening talent," Tang Mu said back firmly, "Father...Father is a zen master"
Tang Yu's eyes widened at this and immediately raised his head. This information was information that made him unable to say anything.
"In the past, it took Father about seven months to reach level five and at that time Father was already said to be a very genius." Tang Mu said quietly, "The higher the level a zen master is, the more difficult it is to master. they increase the level they have. Usually, people who have the qualifications to become a zen master will need about a full year to be able to increase their level from level zero to level five. For those who have poor talent and potential, it takes one to one and a half years, maybe even more to reach that level. However, those who could be called geniuses would be able to reach level five before one year after they awakened their zen. The sooner they reach level five after their zen awakening, the greater their talent will be."
"...You who were able to reach level five in just these five months...You are extremely talented beyond even the people I knew back then. No one had ever reached level five in the five months since his zen awakening. The closest was only within six months and it was achieved by the current leader of the Zen Empire..." Tang Mu's voice at the end revealed a deep hatred.
"Father..." Tang Yu immediately knew the hatred Tang Mu oozed at the moment he spat it out, "What...Could it be that Father has enmity with the Zen Empire? Does that have anything to do with Mother?" Curiosity was running high at this moment within Tang Yu.
"...I arranged for you to fight Xiao Xin, in addition to seeing your true intentions. I also want you not to be proud of the talent you currently have"
"..."
Tang Yu was speechless hearing this.
"Xiao Xin...This child" Tang Mu shook his head then sighed, "It's hard to say anything about this child...I only have one word to say...He is a monster"
"Monsters?..." Tang Yu muttered under his breath.
"Father has been observing him for quite some time now and found him to be a truly terrifying existence." Tang Mu said in a self-deprecating tone, "Earlier I thought you were the one with the most terrifying talent but...I was completely wrong. Xiao Xin, that child has a very frightening talent"
Tang Mu paused for a moment and continued, "You reached level five in five months and can already be said to be someone with terrifying talent, what do you think of Xiao Xin? In just two months...His strength has already reached level five."
"..."
Tang Yu's eyes widened upon hearing the disclosure of information.
"Three months later, he has already reached level ten and that's not all..." Tang Mu paused and continued, "During that period of training, he always filled it with cultivating various abilities, he even developed various abilities and abilities. it is very effective in combat. Perception, cloning ability, transformation ability, explosive generation ability, intimidation ability..." Tang Mu began to list every skill Xin cultivated that he knew.
The more Tang Yu listened to this, the more speechless he became. He finally knew the reason behind Xin saying those things to him.
"As long as the rules of this world don't restrict one's growth where it is required to absorb spirit crystals to break the barrier, the child's level should no longer be level ten at this point. He is at a higher level than he is at the moment."
Tang Yu's hands clenched tightly at this.
"...Could it be that I'm the only one who thinks that I can win against him?" Tang Yu said in a low voice then his gaze glanced at Tang Mu, "Father...You said you were a Zen master...But, why? Why are you forbidding me to become a Zen master? W-what...Could it be because of your past? I-Could it be...This is related to Mother?"
"..."
Tang Mu was speechless while listening to the question asked by Tang Yu.
A sigh rang out, "I think it's time for you to know this matter, Xiao Yu. You can decide for yourself. Was the choice made by Father wrong or not? You can decide for yourself and also...You get permission from me"
*******
Some time passed.
Currently, right in front of the village gate, it can be seen that there are quite a lot of people there. The existence of these people is to accompany Xin and Tang Yu who will go to Lacross City to study as a zen master at the junior zen master academy there.
"This is a small gift that we can give you two." The Village Chief said with a smile as he handed over two bags containing the amount of money that the Village Chief had previously collected to help Xin and Tang Yu who were going to Lacross City to study, "You two should use this money as well as possible there"
"We will do it, Village Chief." Xin smiled and accepted the gift. Even though he had a lot of money at his disposal to live in Lacross City, it was bad to refuse gifts from others especially those they had accumulated together. Better to accept it.
"Thank you, Village Chief" Tang Yu was also very happy with the gift. He only got what little from his father that was enough to rent a place to live and eat for a full day before the day of the academy's enrollment event.
The new registration day will start tomorrow. It's just that, Xin asked to come to the city one day before the registration day opened because there were many things that both of them had to prepare for also, Xin wanted both of them to be familiar with the place since in the future, both of them would be living there.
They must immediately adapt as well as understand every location that is there.
Another reason is that Xin intends to find a place to live and has no intention of becoming a working student.
For the Junior Zen Master Academy, each academy prepared a special place for students from the village. The special place is the quota of working students. The working students themselves, as the name implies, will receive education while also working at school. They will be given housing and educational facilities by the school. Also, cash that they can use to buy food or other things.
There are also hostel facilities prepared by the school for students who want to live in dormitories and these students are required to pay a certain amount of money. The facilities obtained are also better than the dormitories occupied by working students even though one room will still be occupied by several people.
It's just that Xin doesn't want that and prefers to live in a house that will be rented by him. Living in the dormitory for Xin is no freedom, especially for him who has lots of secrets. Therefore, the best option is to look for a house or a place to rent that will be occupied by him for some time to come.
This was also another reason for Xin requesting to come to the City early. So that he has time to find a comfortable place to live there.
Regarding costs, this does not apply to Xin. He has a lot of money now, especially when he started practicing. Every time he returned from his training ground, he would find game animals to be caught by them and then sold directly to Douce. In just the past few months, the amount of finances owned by Xin had increased several times compared to before.
At least, with the money that he currently has, you think you can get a comfortable place to live as well as all the facilities.
The two of them immediately put the gift in the bag they brought under them.
"Xiao Xin, don't forget about us. Come back when you have time"
"That's right, don't forget about us and just focus on chasing your dreams. You should come back often to see us."
"Hey, you have to go back, our child at this time is probably waiting for you to come back"
"Mother!"
"Xiao Xin, Xiao Yu, don't forget about us and come visit often. After all, this is your home, where you live, don't forget this place"
"Make the name of this place big and become a great zen master! That way, this village might become great in the future."
"We depend on you two"
Xin and Tang Yu who heard this smiled.
"This village is my home and also, I like living in a place like this more than living in a city. The air here is more comfortable and more relaxing to live in. Don't worry, I will come back and build a house here once my dream comes true."
"I will do it too." Tang Yu nodded hearing Xin's words.
"Hahaha, great. You two should take good care of yourselves." The village head smiled and continued, "The town is a very different place compared to here. It's bigger there and also there might be a lot of bad things there. I hope you two stay out of that kind of stuff and focus on your education. Become a great zen master who can be the pride of this place"
"We will do it, Village Head"
"Good"
The Village Chief's gaze then glanced at Douce, "Douce, we leave both of them to you. Get them safely to Lacross City."
"Don't worry, I will do it"
Douce nodded seriously, "You two, quickly go up. We're leaving now. The longer we leave, the longer we arrive. I want to get there before evening comes. There is still a lot of work to be done"
"Good"
Xin and Tang Yu quickly got on the carriage at the back along with Douce's luggage. Not wasting much time, Douce immediately started controlling the horse and slowly the carriage started moving towards Lacross City.
