During these three days of vacation, Tang Luo felt as if the days were dragging

on like years.

In the North City of Xiling, there was a particularly bustling street called Wengui Street, a pedestrian street that was eight meters wide and nearly one kilometer long.

Originally it was just one of many commercial streets in Xiling until one day the wealthiest merchants on Wengui Street gathered and did something out of the ordinary.

They ground ten thousand catties of gold into dust, mixed it into brass to make bricks, and paved Wengui Street with it, creating the Golden Avenue.

From then on, Xiling had an additional Golden Avenue.

And this Golden Avenue became the most luxurious consumption location in

Xiling.

This street was the busiest commercial street in Xiling, selling all kinds of items that only the clans could afford.

The most precious paintings and calligraphy, the most exquisite ceramics, the most beautiful female slaves, the sharpest weapons.

Anything you could think of could be found in the shops on this street, and as Xiling developed, Wengui Street became increasingly representative of it.

After being kept awake by the child the previous night, on the second day of his vacation, Tang Luo was dragged around shopping by his mother, Xu Shuhui. Of course, Tang Luo had no choice but to go along with such a small request. Little did he know, this was just the beginning of a nightmare.

I’m still too young, Tang Luo sighed.

As it turned out, all the store locations along this Golden Avenue were entirely occupied by the matriarchs of the clans.

Apparently, this so-called Golden Avenue was a showcasing ground for the ladies of Xiling.

It was also where the matriarchs of the clans connected with one another.

Among the hundreds and thousands of matriarchs in Xiling, Xu Shuhui was undoubtedly the brightest star.

Because there is only one wife for the Sect Head of the Tang Martial Arts Hall, and only one bloodline of Tang Sen in the three branches of the Tang family. The power in Xu Shuhui’s hands was a vision that all the ladies in Xiling longed for in their dreams.

And the last time she came to shop on the Golden Avenue was when Tang Luo was going to be taken into the Martial Saint Mountain.

So this time, as soon as Xu Shuhui showed up, she was treated as a highly esteemed guest by the entirety of Golden Avenue, as if all it lacked was a red carpet.

But in reality, she had no interest in rare and exotic goods. This time she came to Golden Avenue mainly to show off her son to the matriarchs of the other families.

“Perfume from Siam? Pack it all up, Luo Er, go pay.

“My son Luo Er has recently earned a bit of extra money. He’s been saying he wants to buy me some gifts.”

Tang Luo listened with wide eyes from the side, did he recall saying these odd things?

But seeing his mother’s somewhat little proud expression, he felt it was best not to object. He should just play along.

And so, the young man was obliged to play the part of a prop to be flaunted.

Mom, can we have a little constraint when we go about things?

For this entire one-kilometer-long Golden Avenue, do you know every store owner and have to show off to each one?

Tang Luo, who had just walked into another silk shop, looked at the tireless Xu Shuhui with a desperate gaze. He regretted thinking that the number “6221” above her head was a joke.

A martial artist who has shed his mortality probably wouldn’t even be tired after shopping for three days, probably.

The vacation is finally over!

Tang Luo was excited. He could finally return to the Martial Hall.

Under the reluctant gaze of his mother, he managed to suppress the joy in his heart and say goodbye.

He happily returned to the Martial Hall with the little lad. Although he had decided to leave the Martial Hall, as the instructor of Cultivation Ground N0.7, Tang Luo wouldn’t just up and leave.

At least, he wanted to wait until they had finished their small competition and give them some final pointers.

This would also put a relatively successful end to his short stint as an

instructor.

After taking the little lad to the First Cultivation Ground, Tang Luo went straight to his working spot.

The students at Cultivation Ground N0.7 were practicing their martial techniques with high spirits. Good job, young lads.

“Clap, clap, clap.”

Tang Luo clapped his hands forcefully, gathering all the students together. After two months of interaction, the students in the Cultivation Ground had sincerely come to love Instructor Tang from the bottom of their hearts, not only because of his teachings, but also because he had once saved Pang Yan’s life.

For these individuals who have grown up together, Tang Luo’s actions have made them truly feel that sacrificing themselves for the Tang Family is worthwhile.

Therefore, aside from Bo Shan, Tang Luo has now become the most respected individual amongst the students in the Cultivation Ground. The moment he summoned them, they quickly gathered together, their eyes full of respect and steadfastness. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Tang Luo looked at the students before him, a sense of astonishment in his

eyes.

Two months ago, these people were just strangers to him, but after two months, he can now call out each of their names, knowing the martial skills they were practicing, and even understanding their progress better than they themselves did.

However, all good things must come to an end. Tang Luo said in a relaxed tone:

“I have an announcement to make.”

“In two months, I will be leaving the Martial Hall.

The students who were once standing calmly, immediately became unsettled, looking at each other in disbelief. Some children even couldn’t help asking: “Why?”

The most agitated ones were Pang Yan and Du Ze, their eyes instantly reddening.

“instructor Tang, is it because of me!” Pang Yan couldn’t suppress his emotions. If Instructor Tang was expelled from the Martial Hall because of him, he would rather be punished himself.

“I’ll tell the sect what really happened. That I entered the fighting match on my own, it has nothing to do with you, Instructor!” Pang Yan gritted his teeth, determined not to let his own reasons cause Instructor Tang any grievances. The reaction of the students was observed by Tang Luo, which surprised this self-proclaimed witty man.

He felt as though he hadn’t done anything, so how had he earned such love from these students?

And Pang Yan, did he really not understand that if he told the truth to the sect, the smallest punishment would be to abolish his cultivation and demote him? For a moment, Tang Luo felt as though his throat was choked, unsure of how to respond to the students’ enthusiasm.

“Everyone, quiet down.”

At the crucial moment, it was still Bo Shan who managed to control these half-grown youngsters.

With Bo Shan’s stern reprimand, the students regained their calm, but their eyes seemed to have a thousand words to say.

Facing these gazes, Tang Luo took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset. “It has nothing to do with that. It’s just because of my own plans.” He waved at the agitated Pang Yan, signalling him to return to his original position. The respect and attachment of the students gave one a floating feeling. It turned out that the feeling of being a mentor was really good – imparting knowledge to students and receiving sincere admiration and respect in return. But people must keep moving forward, right? Tang Luo believed himself to be a selfish person. Although the feeling of being admired and loved was intoxicating, when compared to his martial arts future, of course, the latter was more important.

If you don’t reach the peak, how can you take in the world’s beauty?

But considering how touchingly you all reacted, Tang Luo smiled and said, “If our Cultivation Ground N0.7 can take first place in the upcoming competition.” -Then you won’t leave, right?” Du Ze interjected smartly, earning a murderous glare from Bo Shan.

“What dreams are you brewing,” Tang Luo laughed and chided, “If you guys can take first place in the competition, I’ll give each of you a set of Mortal-grade Battle Armor.”

Silence! Then the whole place boiled.

“Wow!” The students were stunned by Tang Luo’s generosity.

After all, even the most ordinary Mortal-grade Battle Armor costs more than 50,000 gold on the market. With nearly fifty students in Cultivation Ground N0.7, wouldn’t that cost over two million gold?

“If you’re motivated, go get the first place. Now, get out of here and go practice,” seeing the shock on each student’s face, Tang Luo swiped his hand and commanded.

“Yes! Instructor Tang!” The students’ morale was high. With such a heavy reward, they burst out with passion they had never shown before.

Tang Luo smiled. To him, money was just a number.

After all, a bond had formed during their time together. He didn’t want these children to end up being gravely injured after being selected for a mission. A set of Mortal-grade Battle Armor could greatly increase these children’s safety. As long as they could stay alive, there was a chance for them to step into the Mortal Realm, and that way, they would no longer be cannon fodder but would have the qualifications to establish their own lineage.

He had already decided on giving out the Battle Armors, regardless of whether they win first place or not. But Tang Luo wanted them to develop confidence starting from the Martial Hall itself. After all, he had been through the whole Martial Hall.

These children in Cultivation Ground N0.7 did not fall short in terms of their realm. With the improvement of their martial skills, why couldn’t they rise from the bottom to the top?

Tang Luo had confidence in the children..
