At the end of the day's training, the children changed back into their original clothes, slung their small bags over their shoulders, and prepared to leave the training ground.

After observing the child's learning progress throughout the day, a certain idea in Su Xingze's mind became increasingly clear.

I looked at the distance between myself and the child.

He felt that flying next to the child was like being a pet, which was not in line with his noble and taboo status, so he landed on the child's shoulder, his long tail hanging down from his shoulder, and he reached out and grabbed a wisp of hair behind the child's ear.

The child had never been so close to anyone before. The little mermaid had previously perched on his head, and the neck is an important part of a person's body, making him instinctively uncomfortable.

He tilted his head slightly to hide his unease.

Su Xingze didn't notice the child's reaction; he was still thinking about how to persuade the child to be a good young person of the new era who studies hard and makes progress every day.

Just as he finally figured out how to get the child interested in learning more, several teenagers who were a little older than the child walked over and bumped into him.

The child sensed them before they hit him, but they had received the same training and knew where the child would hide, completely blocking his possible movements.

The child was hit hard and stumbled, but luckily he regained his balance in time. Su Xingze, however, was not so lucky.

Using the momentum of the child's fall, Su Xingze slid off the child's shoulder. Just as he was about to crash onto the bluestone slab, Su Xingze managed to control his body and fly up.

Thinking of the close call just now, Su Xingze glared at the Zhang family teenagers who were blocking the child, one of whom was the one who had repeatedly shown malice towards the child.

There were four people surrounding the child, all of whom were older than the child, with the oldest being about four years older than the child.

"Kid, hand over the stuff obediently." The leader of the boys was full of malice towards the child. He didn't care about what he mentioned. Su Xingze could tell from his expression that he wanted to hear the child refuse more than the casually mentioned item, because that would give him a reason to take action.

The child looked at the boys who blocked all his way, his expression unchanged, and took out a black wooden stick from his pocket.

They had already left the training ground. The Zhang family wouldn't interfere in the children's fights; as long as no one died, the adults in the Zhang family wouldn't get involved no matter what happened.

The child knew this, and he also knew that the consequence of refusing was being beaten up by this group of people. If there were only one or two people, he would have a chance to escape, which was what he had done before. But they learned from their previous experience, and the four of them blocked his escape routes in four directions.

If he gets beaten up by these people, he will definitely get hurt. He has already missed more than half a month of classes because of the ancient city and his injury. If he gets hurt again, he will not be able to attend classes, which will not be good for his growth.

After weighing the pros and cons, the children decided to give the Zhang family boys what they wanted.

After receiving the small black film, the Zhang family boys were quite surprised, not expecting him to actually hand it over.

But when they thought about how this kid had gotten three black tickets today, the boys' faces contorted for a moment. Only one of them had gotten a black ticket.

The boys wanted to cause more trouble, but because the child had already given them the black wood piece, they had to let the child go due to some unspoken rule.

Su Xingze sat on the child's shoulders, turned around and looked coldly at the four teenagers, then his gaze fell on the teenager who was full of malice towards the child, or more precisely, on the jade Buddha hanging around his neck.

A transparent pearl flicked from a fingertip, merging into the jade Buddha like a drop of water. A flash of blood-red light appeared on the solemn and compassionate jade Buddha, and the corners of the jade Buddha's mouth curved slightly upward, giving it an inexplicably sinister feel.

The changes to the jade Buddha were very brief, lasting only a second or two before disappearing, so fast it was almost like an illusion.

Su Xingze forgot about the group of teenagers and tugged at a lock of hair from one of the children.

Do they treat you like this often?

Whether it was the teenagers' skillful blocking of people or the children's attempts to deal with them, it was clear that this wasn't the first time this had happened.

The child remained calm as always, as if he wasn't the one being bullied and extorted.

Not often.

Just because it's not a frequent occurrence doesn't mean it's the first time.

Su Xingze suddenly smiled: "They won't have the extra energy to bully you anymore."

Su Xingze didn't ask these teenagers why they were bullying children; that wasn't important. What mattered was that they had already done it.

The child paused, somewhat puzzled by his words, but he understood what he meant within two days.

But now, the child has a premonition simply because of what he said.

"What are those small black pieces of wood?"

His thoughts were interrupted, but the child continued walking forward, explaining to him, "That's a reward."

It's a reward from the Zhang family to those who perform well in training, and can be exchanged for various useful resources from the Zhang family.

Su Xingze soon found out what the so-called reward was.

The child led him into an unfamiliar courtyard and handed the remaining two small wooden pieces to the tall, thin man in the courtyard.

"Medicine, bone-shrinking technique, and the finger technique of the tomb raider."

The tall, thin man glanced at him, took the small wooden piece, went back into the house, and handed two boxes of medicine to the child.

After returning home, under Su Xingze's repeated questioning, the child explained the purpose of the medicine he got from the tall, thin man.

Whether practicing bone-shrinking techniques or the "fist of the tomb," both are very harmful to the body. The Zhang family has good self-healing abilities, but the injuries they suffer will not heal in a day. Even with the help of medicine, they need at least five days of rest after each practice session before they can continue practicing.

With medicine, things are different. With the help of medicine, injuries sustained during practice can be healed in at most two days.

The child wants to master the skills quickly, because only by becoming strong quickly can he protect himself.

If you want medicine to help with your training, you can either buy it from within the clan, make it yourself by buying medicinal herbs, or, like children, exchange it for blackwood pieces that represent excellent performance in your studies.

The child was very poor and didn't have enough money to buy medicine, so he could only use black wood chips.

After returning home, the child ate a dinner that was much simpler than the food provided in the cafeteria.

After boiling water, I washed my hair and took a bath in the yard.

This was at Su Xingze's insistence. He recently liked to use the child's hair as a sofa and would occasionally sit on the child's shoulders. He didn't want the child to become a dirty little thing.

The child was very poor. There were only two candles in the house. He was reluctant to use the candles or light the oil lamp, so he went to bed very early.

The next day, the child still got up at five o'clock to go to the clan school. Today, the teacher was different. Some of the lessons were the same as yesterday, but the rest were still things that should not be taught to children, such as the identification and treatment of poisonous insects, historical anecdotes and legends of various dynasties, the characteristics of tools of various dynasties, the identification and use of medicinal and poisonous herbs, and the treatment of common injuries.

After the literature class came the martial arts class. Today they didn't have to practice bone-shrinking skills or the "tomb-slaying finger" technique, so they took other classes, which included a few practical lessons.

Swimming, diving, holding your breath...

Olfactory training, sensory training, throwing weapons, hand dexterity training...

At the end of the day, the child is like a tireless learning machine.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't be too far away from his child, Su Xingze would have loved to stay far away from this intense learning environment.

Fortunately, the system had many gadgets to pass the time, but unfortunately, he had used up his last few points to buy a kaleidoscope.

With his points exhausted and the mall overflowing with goods, Su Xingze put back on the agenda the things he had planned to do earlier.
