I see where the auther is going with this. By faking at despeate situation with the soul hall, he can stay by tang san and go with him to shreak academy together and as we all know, his next sign-in location is shreak academy. My thoughts are if he stayed with the soul hall, he would have to goto the soul hall special academy like stated in the few previous chapters and wont be able to goto shreak for the sign-in.
so he give up going to the spirit hall when he can be protected and have a lot of authority and even resource and medical plants to only be known as a trash and let people give up on himin my opinion he only needs to tell them that he was about to explode when his martial soul healed him and strengthened his body and protected him i don't why he needs to lie about it in the end martial soul are very mysterious and gas a lot of use he can even let people see the golden lotus its only beneficial to him and negative in any way i can only say he is the the stupidest mc i have ever known
