A System That Knew How to Stir Things Up, Xiao Wu
Whenever Yu Xiaogang thought about the truth of those years being exposed, he wanted to cry.
Spirit Hall's announcement had already reached a small place like Nuoding City.
Although the news had only just arrived, some people already knew.
Over the past few days, when he walked down the street, he could clearly see that some people were looking at him strangely.
They were looking at him as a scumbag, a ridiculous clown.
In a few more days, the entire city, including the people at Nuoding Academy, would probably know.
By then, his treasured theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul would become a complete joke.
Everyone would know that the material for those theories had come from Spirit Hall's library.
He was not a scholar, but a plagiarist.
The title of Grandmaster had already been somewhat derogatory. Now that the truth had been exposed, the title was even more like a tightening headband, trapping him in its grip.
"I should leave town and lie low for a while, but as for Little San..."
He thought of his disciple.
Such an outstanding child.
Graduation was just around the corner, and he would soon be heading to Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang had spent several years training him. If he gave up now, it would be too much of a waste.
"Damn it, I'll take a gamble. Bibi Dong shouldn't go so far as to come after me personally."
Yu Xiaogang took several deep breaths.
Bibi Dong was the Pope, after all. If she really wanted to deal with him, she could simply send her subordinates. There was no need for her to come in person.
The Pope was extremely busy. She couldn't possibly have that much free time.
He gradually calmed down.
However, things naturally could not unfold the way he imagined.
Chu Xuan spent a night at the Spirit Hall Branch, then prepared to visit Nuoding Academy the next day.
He really did want to meet Tang San, the protagonist.
And there was the heroine, Xiao Wu. She had taken human form from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so she ought to be interesting.
Meeting them would definitely trigger new choices.
The God-Level Choice System was the key to improving his strength, so he had to make good use of it.
"God Child, are you going out? Do you need us to accompany you?"
Ghost Douluo asked.
When the God Child went out, shouldn't he have the grandest escort possible?
However, Chu Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm just going out for a casual stroll."
Only then did Ghost Douluo stop.
"There's no need to follow him. With Elder Huo Ling protecting him from the shadows, nothing should happen to the God Child."
Bibi Dong walked out.
She knew that Qian Daoliu had already arranged for someone from the Elder Hall to serve as his protector.
With a Titled Douluo as his protector, could anyone in this little Nuoding City possibly threaten him?
Besides, Chu Xuan had the gods backing him.
If something really did happen, the gods certainly wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
His safety was assured, so what did they have to worry about?
Chu Xuan walked all the way to Nuoding Academy. When he reached the entrance, the gatekeeper came out.
Is this going to be some melodramatic plot?
Chu Xuan chuckled. In the original story, Tang San had been stopped at the entrance.
The gatekeeper had been a bit like a fox borrowing a tiger's might.
However, when the gatekeeper came up to him, he bowed and scraped.
"Young master, are you here to enter the academy? This way, please."
The gatekeeper's bootlicking expression nearly made Chu Xuan lose his composure.
He took another look at the man's eyes and understood.
Well, the fellow had a good eye.
The clothes Chu Xuan wore had all been handmade by specialists sent by Spirit Hall, and even the fabric was exceptionally fine.
The gatekeeper had probably noticed something and therefore didn't dare stop him.
"I'm going in to take a look."
Chu Xuan said that and walked straight in.
Nuoding Academy actually covered quite a large area and had every kind of facility.
But because it was an academy in a small city, it didn't have many students.
Overall, it was passable.
Chu Xuan looked around. Classes had just ended, and the students had all come out for a breather.
"The overall environment is decent. It's a pity there aren't many outstanding students. After graduating, most of them can only go to an intermediate Soul Master Academy."
After a casual look around, he found that the students' potential really wasn't very high.
That made sense. It was hard for a small city to produce outstanding students.
The city itself didn't have many powerful Soul Masters.
And students inherited much of their Martial Souls and talent from their parents.
Hadn't Tang San inherited his Martial Souls from his parents?
With his status as the protagonist on top of that, he was a favored son of heaven.
Then there was Xiao Wu.
She herself was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit in human form, so her talent went without saying.
Apart from those two, the other students would basically fade into the crowd in the future, never making a name for themselves in the Soul Master World.
They weren't even qualified to be cannon fodder.
The Soul Master World was just that cruel.
Only talented people with high cultivation would be noticed.
The nameless could only remain invisible, not even worthy of a mention.
"Are you a new student? I don't think I've seen you at the academy before."
A voice suddenly came from behind him.
He turned to look and saw a twelve-year-old girl.
She was very cute.
Her most distinctive feature was her long scorpion braid, which made her identity recognizable at a glance.
Xiao Wu, the heroine of the first part of Douluo Continent!
He hadn't expected to meet her now, so he was a little surprised.
"I'm not a student here. I'm just looking around."
As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded.
[Ding! God-Level Choice triggered. Please choose one of the following!] [Choice one: Tell Xiao Wu about her future fate and expose Tang San's hypocritical nature. Rewards: Resurrection Card ×3, Complete Explanation of Hidden Weapon, Soul Power Level +2!] [Choice two: Pretend you know nothing. Reward: Soul Power Level +3!] [Choice three: Become sworn siblings with Xiao Wu. Reward: Soft Bone Rabbit Clan's Friendship Badge!]
When the three choices appeared, Chu Xuan's eyes darted around.
Whoever held the Soft Bone Rabbit Clan's Friendship Badge would gain the friendship of the Soft Bone Rabbit Clan.
At a critical moment, the holder could even use the badge to summon nearby Soft Bone Rabbits.
Simply put, one arrow through the clouds, and ten thousand rabbits would answer the call.
That seemed pretty good.
But as someone who liked stirring things up, how could he choose the third option?
Even the system was getting in on the fun. How could he fall behind?
He had to choose the first option!
The Resurrection Cards alone were extremely tempting.
They could be used on any target.
As long as he had any item bearing the target's trace, he could directly bring that person back to life.
The Complete Explanation of Hidden Weapon was also good.
Tang San was highly skilled with hidden weapons, but with the Complete Explanation of Hidden Weapon, any hidden weapon would be a little toy before Chu Xuan. He would be able to spot its flaws at a glance.
What's more, the Complete Explanation of Hidden Weapon contained the methods for making every hidden weapon, including methods for improving them and more.
That was the choice worth making!
"Choice one!"
He made his choice without hesitation.
Now he only needed to tell Xiao Wu about Tang San's true nature.
Doing that was simple: the Wheel of Time.
"You actually managed to get into the academy? Didn't the gatekeeper stop you?"
When Xiao Wu heard that he wasn't a student at the academy, her eyes nearly popped out of her head in shock.
Was this handsome boy, who gave her an immediate sense of closeness, really so lucky?
Chu Xuan chuckled and said, "I just arrived at the academy, and there are some places I haven't seen yet. Could you show me around?"
