Chapter 105: Xiao Wu and Tang San's Shameless Daily Life
At Notting Academy, Yu Xiaogang was currently explaining to Tang San his so-called "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls."
After listening, Tang San was completely convinced. Filled with admiration, he declared,
"Once my teacher, forever my father,"
and immediately knelt down, banging his head three times on the ground.
Ironically, that statement would later become nothing more than a joke—when the two went hunting soul beasts, Tang San even considered killing Yu Xiaogang to prevent his hidden weapons from being exposed.
Still, it had to be said—Yu Xiaogang's methods were quite clever. The "simple-minded" Tang San even felt like he had gained an advantage.
Yu Xiaogang was very satisfied. By casually showing off the research results he had obtained from Spirit Hall, he easily accepted Tang San as his disciple.
Thinking of those theories, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but recall the woman who haunted his dreams—Bibi Dong.
If not for her, he would never have gained access to those materials.
After that, Yu Xiaogang continued explaining several of his "core competencies," thoroughly confusing Tang San.
In Tang San's heart, Yu Xiaogang had already been elevated to the level of a god.
The famous phrase—
"There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."
—was born here.
After becoming his disciple, Yu Xiaogang took Tang San through the necessary procedures, successfully enrolling him as a work-study student at Notting Academy.
Once Tang San arrived at the dormitory, he fought the dorm leader, Wang Sheng—and won, becoming the new boss of Dorm Seven.
Just then, a clear voice sounded from outside:
"Is this Dorm Seven?"
Everyone turned toward the door, their eyes lighting up.
A young girl stood there, holding a brand-new school uniform.
She looked about the same age and height as Tang San.
Her delicate face was fair with a rosy tint, soft like a ripe peach, making people want to take a bite.
Although her clothes were simple, they were neat and clean.
Her long black hair was tied into a scorpion braid that hung past her waist, and her bright eyes sparkled with curiosity.
She was none other than Xiao Wu—the hundred-thousand-year soul beast who had just left the Star Dou Great Forest.
The boys in the dorm were stunned by her beauty.
Tang San quietly asked Wang Sheng,
"Boys and girls can share a dorm?"
Wang Sheng nodded and whispered back,
"We're still kids. The academy doesn't separate genders. I heard they only split them at intermediate level."
Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes. Seeing no one respond, she checked the sign again and smiled sweetly.
"Hello, my name is Xiao Wu. Wu as in dancing."
Then she smiled and added,
"My martial soul is a rabbit—a very cute little white rabbit. What about you?"
Her dimples appeared when she smiled, making her incredibly charming.
Tang San stared at her blankly, his heart pounding.
Perhaps due to the resonance of their bloodlines, Xiao Wu also found herself glancing at him more, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Tang San scratched his head shyly.
"My martial soul is grass… Blue Silver Grass."
Xiao Wu giggled.
"Then I happen to counter you."
Tang San nodded blankly.
Amid the crowd's cheers, the two fought—and Tang San lost.
Just like that, the little rabbit who once vowed to cultivate diligently and avenge her mother… had already pushed that hatred to the back of her mind.
Instead, she happily celebrated becoming the "big sister" of Dorm Seven.
Then, because she didn't have bedding, she directly suggested sleeping under the same blanket as Tang San—a man she had just met.
And Tang San—despite having the mind of a grown adult—hesitated only briefly before agreeing.
One was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
The other had lived over thirty years before reincarnating, plus six more in this world.
Yet these two… ended up sharing a blanket on their first meeting.
It was simply absurd.
In the days that followed, Xiao Wu became completely immersed in the pleasures of the human world.
Revenge for her mother? Forgotten.
Even cultivation became optional—she barely practiced on her own.
During the day, she happily munched on piles of carrots.
At night, she slept under the same blanket as Tang San.
A carefree and comfortable life.
It was almost laughable.
Before entering the human world, she had sworn to grow stronger and take revenge.
Yet after only a few days, the playful little rabbit had already been dazzled by worldly pleasures.
Meanwhile, in the Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo knew nothing of this.
His life was currently very fulfilling.
Every morning, he cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, then entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper his body until exhaustion.
After emerging, he would kill a soul beast to replenish his strength.
Once recovered, he would enter the well again in the afternoon.
At night, he focused on cultivating soul power.
Under the intense pressure of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he could clearly feel his body growing stronger—and his soul power becoming more condensed.
For now, Dugu Bo had no intention of making waves.
At the very least, he needed the confidence to face Qian Daoliu.
Time passed quietly, and he grew stronger day by day.
However, evolving his Body Martial Soul to the Golden level still seemed far out of reach.
Even with such intense training, only faint golden patterns had appeared on his body.
He was still far from true evolution.
A month later, one night—
Dugu Bo sat cross-legged in his chamber, silently waiting.
Today was the day the simulator refreshed.
He was filled with anticipation.
As the moon slowly rose to its peak, a cold mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
[Simulation attempts refreshed. Begin simulation?]
