Chapter 16: My Name is Xiao Wu
——The following is not part of the main story, just something made up for fun——
My name is Xiao Wu, and I am a soul beast with 100,000 years of cultivation.
My mother told me she gave birth to me after being pregnant for three months when she was 50,000 years old.
I had many siblings who were birthed by my mother.
But unfortunately, none of them were able to cultivate up to 100,000 years. I feel so lonely!
Fortunately, I have my mother by my side, along with Da Ming and Er Ming! I am very happy.
However, some time ago, my mother was killed by a beautiful human woman who absorbed her spirit ring and took her spirit bone.
I hate humans to death.
Today, I decided to transform into human form and venture into the human world, just like Sister Blue Silver Emperor did. I also plan to find a highly talented human to be my little boyfriend and use him to help me seek revenge. Ideally, I want to incite a war and destroy the force that woman belonged to.
Although Sister Blue Silver Emperor died, it seems that the human who hunted her was also beaten to death by her boyfriend. Hmm! Not a loss!
——The above is the self-narration of a 100,000-year-old rogue rabbit. (Author: I made this up, please don't take it seriously)
——The following is the main text——
The following evening, the group of four, including Zuzong, Blanklin, Yu Xiaogang, and Tang San, returned to Nuoding City.
Each of the four had different expressions. Zuzong was humming a tune the entire time, full of joy.
"I'm in love with shape of you, we push and pull like the magnets do." [T/N : I just added it for fun]
Blanklin maintained his usual refined appearance, looking very serious, but from time to time, he cast a look of disdain at Yu Xiaogang.
Sensing Blanklin's gaze, Yu Xiaogang lowered his head. His already stiff face twisted further, looking towards Tang San with guilt and feeling his face burning with shame.
Tang San looked even more listless, his eyes bloodshot, clearly having not slept the entire night.
The time rewinds to yesterday morning.
Under Yu Xiaogang's "persuasion," Tang San sincerely apologized to Zuzong and called him "ancestor" a few times.
Who was Zuzong? A well-rounded young man who excelled in moral, intellectual, and physical development and was also the future most handsome man on Douluo Continent. Naturally and sincerely, he responded, "Good boy, I forgive you!" and even offered to help Tang San find a spirit ring.
Yu Xiaogang, seeing Zuzong's magnanimity and selflessness, was moved to tears.
Zuzong was not stingy either; he expanded his Blue Silver Domain to the fullest. In less than half an hour, he found a Rattrap snake with cultivation reaching a hundred and nineteen years, non-toxic and harmless, which only caught mice at night and basked in the sun during the day.
Originally, Yu Xiaogang wanted to decline this generosity.
But inadvertently, he caught sight of Zuzong's eyes, which had turned blood-red due to use of Sharingan.
For some reason, he accepted it impulsively and said to Tang San, "Xiao San! Don't underestimate this lazy snake. It's actually quite powerful! This is a mighty spirit beast with cultivation reaching 419 years, very close to the first spirit ring's limit. It's very suitable for you. Once you absorb it, you won't be inferior to Zuzong."
Standing to the side, Blanklin watched this and felt even more disdain for Yu Xiaogang. "This? Master? 'Theory invincible'? It was clearly a little over 100 years, but he exaggerated it to 419." However, he said nothing, knowing that Tang San had already acknowledged Yu Xiaogang as his teacher. If he spoke up, he might have to "give up another Rattrap snake."
Our classmate Tang San, hearing his teacher's "invincible theory," was starry-eyed, greedily absorbing the knowledge. Without suspicion, he immediately killed the Rattrap snake with the help of Zuzong and the Vice-Dean and acquired a yellow century spirit ring. It took less than an hour to absorb it successfully. "Mysterious Heaven Skill" is indeed impressive!
However, an accident occurred.
Tang San's first spirit ability for the Blue Silver Grass was still the same as in the original story—it was Bind.
However, after casting the skill, the Blue Silver Grass became rough, with the characteristic of the Rattrap snake: shedding skin. It resembled a plant vine soaked in water, ready to rot, which was quite disgusting.
And that was not all; although its toughness did increase significantly, the lifestyle habit of the Rattrap snake was also inherited.
The branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass, once exposed to light, would remain motionless and inert until nightfall, when they would regain normality. However, its power was nothing compared to Zuzong's Poison Dragon Entanglement and was inferior to even a ten-year spirit ring in some aspects.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass first spirit ability—wasted.
Upon entering Nuoding Academy, the four, each with their thoughts, parted ways.
Yu Xiaogang took Tang San back to his place for some counseling.
Blanklin, as the Vice-Dean of Nuoding Academy, had to not only complete the accumulated academy tasks over the past few days but also report the outcome of this spirit hunt to the principal.
As for Zuzong? He had just acquired fourteen opportunities to steal yesterday. Of course, he was preparing to return to the dormitory and steal secretly.
Some might ask, what about the others in the dormitory? Just give them a flick on the head! Send them to the grove on the back hill to practice combat with each other.
As the boss of dormitory seven, he indeed had their best interests at heart, sparing no effort for these nameless extras.
Wang Sheng (shouting): "I have a name! I have a name!"
Returning to dormitory seven, Zuzong found the door half-open.
Someone was inside, and they were strangers. There was a soul power fluctuation, slightly weaker than his own. It seemed to be another newly acquired spirit master.
Judging from the perception, the person was lying on his bed!
"Bang," Zuzong kicked the door open. "Who dares to lie on my bed?"
Inside was a delicate young girl lying on Zuzong's bed. She appeared to be about the same age as Zuzong, slightly shorter. Her pretty face was pink and tender. Although she was wearing an ordinary school uniform, she looked exceptionally neat.
Her long black hair was tied into a scorpion braid that hung over her hips. Her large, watery eyes stared curiously at Zuzong.
Their eyes met, and sparks flew. Love filled the air—ugh, not really.
The girl blinked her big eyes and, seeing Zuzong's blue-silver hair and a face that could rival any girl's in beauty, smiled sweetly, "Hello! My name is Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing!"
Whoa, it's this old rabbit. Since Tang San now lives with the scumbag, the two haven't met yet!
Three months ago, he had planned to seize this old rabbit's 100,000-year spirit ring and bone. But now, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.
First, facing such a cute little girl, he couldn't bring himself to act ruthlessly, even if she was a 100,000-year-old rabbit in her true form.
Second, even if he killed her, with his current level of cultivation, he wouldn't be able to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring, wasting it for nothing.
Zuzong nodded and asked softly, "Why are you lying on my bed?"
Xiao Wu seemed not to hear and did not intend to get up.
Instead, she blinked her large eyes and smiled, "My martial soul is a soft boned rabbit, a cute little white rabbit. What's yours?" When she smiled, two adorable dimples appeared on her face, making her look irresistibly charming.
Zuzong didn't answer but summoned the Blue Silver Emperor with his right hand.
"This is..." The girl was clearly taken aback.
Zuzong slightly closed his eyes, secretly nodding. It seems this old rabbit indeed knows the Blue Silver Emperor.
