Xiao Wu's Troubles

One month later.

Xiao Wu returned to her loyal Dormitory Seven.

"Underlings, your Big Sister is back! Why aren't you coming out to welcome me?"

Xiao Wu shouted in the corridor. Some of the Senior Students wanted to lose their tempers, but the moment they heard Xiao Wu's name, they immediately backed down. Back when Xiao Wu had been at the academy, she had more than once dealt with the Noble Students.

She pushed open the door to Dormitory Seven and looked around, but she did not find Gula or Tang San, so she turned to the tiger-headed, tiger-brained youth.

"Wang Sheng, where's little brother Gula? Where did he run off to? Tell him to come see me."

Xiao Wu lifted her chin. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Da Ming and Er Ming had taken very good care of her, and she had even brought back a large "fortune," which had clearly made Xiao Wu a little smug.

Wang Sheng looked as if he wanted to laugh, but forcibly held it back. He pointed behind Xiao Wu. "Big Sister, behind you..."

Gula's voice rang out from behind Xiao Wu. "You went home for a trip and now you think you can beat me?"

Xiao Wu abruptly turned around. On her face, where her smile had frozen, a trace of guilt appeared. "Who said I wanted to fight you?"

She muttered under her breath, seemingly recalling Gula's merciless fists, then forced herself to stay calm and said, "I brought you a gift. Call me Sister Xiao Wu and let me hear it."

Xiao Wu planted her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and spoke with an arrogant air.

Gula smiled playfully. His mind spun quickly as he thought about what confidence Xiao Wu had gained to dare speak so loudly to him.

With no clues and unable to think of the reason all at once, Gula simply said directly, "If your gift really satisfies me, then calling you Sister Xiao Wu once wouldn't hurt."

"Tch!"

Xiao Wu put on a look of disdain to hide the joy in her heart, then skipped out of Dormitory Seven. "Hurry up and follow me."

Hmph! Once you see the soul bone, I'll definitely punish you by making you call me Sister Xiao Wu a hundred... ten thousand times!

In her heart, Xiao Wu imagined Gula becoming her little brother, obedient like Da Ming and Er Ming, and a silly smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

The two of them arrived at an empty corner of the garden. Xiao Wu looked sneaky, and after looking around, she took a large handful of Storage Soul Tools out of her pocket.

"Here, take a look. You definitely haven't seen anything like this."

Xiao Wu was not stupid. At least, she considered herself not stupid.

She had learned from Da Ming how important soul bones were to Soul Masters, so she had only placed one Thousand Year Soul Bone inside the Soul Tool. It counted as hush money for Gula.

Gula released his soul power and saw the soul bone and Medicinal Herbs inside the Storage Ring. A gleam flashed in his eyes, and in an instant, he thought of many things.

"This really is a surprise. This is my gift?"

Gula was indeed very interested in soul bones. These treasures, which carried specific Soul Skills inside them, were a lot like pieces of game equipment that could not be replaced. But if they were seen as extra Soul Skills, that was more fitting.

At the same time, from this Thousand Year Soul Bone, Gula also thought of another use for Xiao Wu's identity.

Who knew how many treasures were buried in the Star Dou Great Forest? Not to mention rare herbs and Minerals, even just the Relics of dead Soul Masters would be enough to create a group of powerful Soul Masters.

Xiao Wu had two hundred-thousand-year soul beast little brothers, giving her a natural advantage in finding these things. In that case, he could no longer treat her as a dispensable vase.

"Sister Xiao Wu."

Gula called it out with no integrity at all. He was eighty percent sure Xiao Wu definitely had even better soul bones in her hands.

If I equip the whole team with soul bones, I wonder how many rewards the system will give?

"Hmph, now you know how amazing Sister Xiao Wu is, right? From now on, you must remember your duty as a little brother. Everything must prioritize this young lady's opinion. Do whatever I tell you to do. First, remove the limit of three Energy Cubes a day. I want to eat as many as I want..."

Xiao Wu chattered on endlessly. For the past month, she had spent most of her time on the road, and she had long since been craving Energy Cubes.

Gula listened with black lines all over his forehead. "You really know how to climb up the pole when given the chance. Don't push your luck. The amount of Energy Cubes you get each day was carefully calculated by me. It's just a little more than the energy you use up from daily exercise."

"If you want to eat more, that's fine. Double your training volume, and I'll add more food for you. Otherwise, even if I give you extra meals, it'll only turn you into a Fat Rabbit."

"I won't become fat! Besides, I'm your boss!" Xiao Wu still wanted to put on the dignity of Big Sister.

"You're the boss only if I say you are. If I say you're not, then you're just a Little Girl."

Gula released his Gravity Field and telekinesis, suppressing Xiao Wu, who intended to rebel against the natural order, with a single thought.

Xiao Wu braced herself and kept from collapsing to the ground. "Damn it, the pressure is even stronger! How did you get stronger so fast?!"

"You think my daily training at twice the volume is just for show? If hard work brings results, then naturally I'm willing to work hard. At the very least, I get stronger much faster than a rabbit who only knows how to slack off."

Gula remembered that Xiao Wu had transformed into a human to avenge her mother, but seeing how she spent every day without taking anything seriously, he guessed she probably did not have much confidence herself. Maybe she had simply made the decision in a moment of hot-headedness and actually did not have much determination at all.

That would not do. This concerned his rewards, and Gula was not satisfied with how fast Xiao Wu had grown stronger in the original work. Xiao Wu had to put in one hundred and twenty percent effort to be worthy of what he was giving her.

Thought of this, Gula's face darkened. "Xiao Wu, do you have a reason to become stronger?"

Xiao Wu froze and recalled that afternoon. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had invaded the Core Area, and as usual, Da Ming and Er Ming had gone out to drive it away. While they were not there, a woman happened to lead a group of Soul Masters into the Core Area.

She had been an extremely terrifying woman. To protect Xiao Wu, her mother had stayed behind to hold them off, and the only image left in her mind was the sight of her mother shedding tears.

A trace of hatred flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes. She lost the mood to play around and regained her calm, a hint of melancholy flashing through her eyes. "My mother was killed by a powerful Soul Master."

Seeing that she had become serious, Gula followed up by releasing the Gravity Field.

"Then you should cherish the safe environment you have now and cultivate hard. With your talent of Innate Full Soul Power, cultivating to Title Douluo will be very easy. Only then will you have the possibility of taking revenge."

"Revenge?"

Was that possible?

Xiao Wu thought of the hideous, terrifying Spider Martial Soul in her memories, and her body instinctively trembled.

Even her mother could only rely on Invincible Golden Body and intangibility to withstand it head-on, using teleportation to dodge and stall for time. Even if she cultivated to the level of Title Douluo, what could she do?

Hearing the sorrow and helplessness in her tone, Gula understood, but he still pretended not to know the story behind it.

"Is your opponent very strong? But that's no reason for you to give up. Believe in yourself. Willpower is an extremely powerful force. Throughout history, there's been no shortage of examples of weak martial souls becoming Title Douluo."

Xiao Wu still couldn't muster any spirit. Gula had torn open the scar in her heart, forcing her to face the cowardly nature of her rabbit self.

She was afraid. Not afraid of dying, but afraid that even after working hard to cultivate, she still wouldn't have the ability to take revenge.

"Pull yourself together. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in me!"

Gula took out a disc and slapped it onto Xiao Wu's forehead.

Sorry, there's a lot going on for New Year's. The next chapter will be a bit late.
