Those Shattered Memories

"Xiao Wu, come back. You're no match for him. I can still keep going!" Zhao Ming shouted from behind.

"Trust me. I'm very strong." Xiao Wu turned back and gave Zhao Ming a sweet smile.

"But you definitely aren't his match. His methods are underhanded." Zhao Ming paused before saying.

Underhanded? Xiao Wu sized Tang San up.

She knew Zhao Ming's strength. With the Puppet's energy, only Soul Masters above level fifteen could affect him.

Although this person before her looked strong, he had only just become a Soul Master. How could he possibly be Zhao Ming's opponent? Could he have used some despicable trick?

With that thought, she examined Tang San carefully. He was quiet and taciturn. One look told her he was the deeply calculating sort.

"Hmph, you're not that old. Why are you always doing such sneaky, underhanded things?" Xiao Wu said with an unfriendly look.

What? What sneaky, underhanded things? What had he done?

Tang San stared at Xiao Wu in bewilderment. He had no idea why she had suddenly been saddled with such a huge accusation.

Still, this Xiao Wu clearly had a close relationship with Zhao Ming. They even looked like a couple.

A couple at such a young age. He truly could not understand how people their age could have the mind to talk about love and romance.

Getting involved in romance at such a young age, she definitely isn't a good girl. Tang San shook his head.

The disdain in Tang San's eyes was naturally caught by Xiao Wu. Though Xiao Wu usually seemed carefree, she was actually quite sensitive.

Seeing Tang San look down on her, anger rose in her heart. "Kid, you're pretty arrogant! Looks like I need to teach you a proper lesson! Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Wu, a first-year Work-Study Student. My Martial Soul is a rabbit. I'm a level-twelve one-ring Battle Soul Master."

Tang San's expression changed when he heard Xiao Wu's words. He had not expected the Xiao Wu before him to be a Soul Master as well, and one level higher than him. Yet she looked about the same age as he was. Could it be that she, too, possessed Innate Full Soul Power?

A red glow lit up around Xiao Wu. Beneath the faint red radiance, her eyes began to turn red, while her ears slowly lengthened and rose from the sides of her head, covered in soft white fur.

Her figure seemed to grow a little taller, and a gentle aura of Soul Power rippled around her body. The Soul Ring that rose beneath her feet was the same as Tang San's: a yellow, hundred-year Soul Ring.

Not only Tang San, but even Zhao Ming was stunned. But unlike Tang San, Zhao Ming knew Xiao Wu's strength. As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she could create her own Soul Rings. She could become a Soul Master whenever she wished.

Still, it was Zhao Ming's first time seeing Xiao Wu in this bunny girl form.

After releasing her Martial Soul, Xiao Wu's height abruptly increased by a great deal. Most of that increase came from her legs. Her slender, tender long legs became even straighter and more alluring after her transformation.

And those rabbit ears covered in delicate white fluff, along with those large red eyes.

She truly deserved to be called a bunny girl!

What a pity that Nuoding Academy's uniform pants obscured those long legs.

If those long legs were paired with a short skirt or hot pants, just how fiery would that look be?!

Xiao Wu was already this pretty, so what about the other two?

In the original work, Shrek's three sisters each had their own distinctive charm.

Xiao Wu's long legs, Zhu Zhuqing's baby face and huge breasts, Ning Rongrong's tender skin that seemed ready to drip with water...

Pah. What am I even thinking?

I, Zhao Ming, am an upright man. I can't keep thinking about this messy nonsense. It's bad for my health.

Zhao Ming hurriedly slapped those messy thoughts out of his mind and fixed his gaze on Xiao Wu and Tang San's battlefield.

Xiao Wu stomped down hard with her right foot, and her entire body shot toward Tang San.

Before Tang San could react, Xiao Wu had already closed in. Her toes snapped out in an instant, kicking straight for Tang San's chin. The strike did not seem particularly powerful, but it was incredibly fast, startling Tang San.

He flashed to the left, dodging the incoming kick. At the same time, he activated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, his right hand shooting toward Xiao Wu's ankle like lightning.

The moment Tang San's right hand caught Xiao Wu's ankle, it suddenly slipped. What should have been a sure grab somehow missed.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Wu's missed leg swept sideways and landed on his shoulder. Facing Tang San's right shoulder as it rammed toward her, she lightly blocked it with both hands. Her right foot borrowed force from Tang San's shoulder, and her other leg rose as well, hooking over his other shoulder. Her legs clamped around Tang San's shoulders and twisted hard, forcing Tang San to spin through the air along with her.

He had not expected to fall into a disadvantage so quickly, and it gave him quite a fright.

There was no time to worry about anything else. The first Soul Ring beneath him lit up, and eight or nine thick vines lashed toward Xiao Wu, trying to restrain her.

But how could Xiao Wu, who excelled in flexibility techniques, be controlled so easily by Blue Silver Grass? She twisted her body rapidly, evading the Blue Silver Grass through one astonishing movement after another. The flexibility of her body was practically heaven-defying.

While dodging Tang San's Blue Silver Grass attack, Xiao Wu also locked Tang San's body down completely.

With a tap of her toes against Tang San's body, Xiao Wu threw Tang San to the ground with all her strength.

Having slammed Tang San down, Xiao Wu had no intention of continuing the fight.

"Hehe, I'm impressive, right?" After defeating Tang San, Xiao Wu looked at Zhao Ming with a smug expression.

Zhao Ming nodded and raised a hand to stroke her soft, long ears. He nodded again. "Our Xiao Wu is amazing."

A rabbit's ears were its most sensitive part. After becoming her Martial Soul, the same trait appeared in Xiao Wu. Two blushes immediately appeared on the young girl's pretty face, and she went limp in Zhao Ming's arms.

"You go back to the dorm first. I still have something to say to him." Stroking Xiao Wu's soft hair, Zhao Ming said with a cold smile.

"Huh?" Xiao Wu froze, then looked coldly at Tang San. "If you dare hurt him, I won't be as polite as I was today."

With that, Xiao Wu obediently left.

In her view, Tang San, whom she had just injured with her throw, could not possibly pose any danger to Zhao Ming.

"System, I have a way to complete the mission now. But I'll need some help from you." Zhao Ming smiled faintly and said inwardly.

Zhao Ming explained his plan to the system without leaving out a single detail.

"You're really ruthless. But I like it. As expected of the Host I chose." After hearing Zhao Ming's plan, the system teased approvingly.

"One cannot be a true man without being ruthless."

"That falls within the system's rules, so I can help you."

Having received the system's answer, Zhao Ming looked at Tang San with a cold smile.

"Tang San, Twin Martial Souls. Your first Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and your Second Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer. You were born in Holy Soul Village, and you have an alcoholic father named Tang Hao. Am I right?" Zhao Ming said calmly, stepping on Tang San's face.

Tang San's expression changed when he heard Zhao Ming's words. "Who are you? How do you know about me?"

He looked at Zhao Ming in horror. He suddenly realized that ever since arriving at Nuoding Academy, this person had been targeting him. Had it all been premeditated?

"Who I am isn't important. But I do have something I'd like to share with you." Zhao Ming said softly. He could not help feeling curious about Tang San's reaction after receiving those shattered images.

Tang San, Tang San.

I'm really looking forward to it!
