Monthly Tickets, and Rewards)
After returning to the academy, the two of them first went to Teacher Mo Hen to report their return from leave.
Seeing that the two had returned safely, Mo Hen was extremely excited. When he heard that they had both successfully obtained Soul Rings and become Soul Masters—and that both Soul Rings were Hundred-Year Soul Rings—he said "Good" three times in a row.
After dealing with Teacher Mo Hen's barrage of questions, they left the office. It was already completely dark. Gu You and Tang San went to the academy cafeteria for dinner, then returned to the Seventh Dormitory to rest.
"Congratulations on becoming Soul Masters, Xiao San and Xiao You." "Welcome back. Were you hurt?" "Are you tired? Would you like some fruit?" "."
As soon as they entered the Seventh Dormitory, the Work-Study Students swarmed over and chattered about all sorts of things.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop." Gu You's ears were buzzing from the noise, so he interrupted them. "How did you know that Xiao San and I became Soul Masters?"
Wang Sheng scratched his head and replied, "I happened to pass by while you two were in the teacher's office and heard the teacher asking you questions."
A thin, tall boy squeezed over and asked, "What is the Spirit Beast Forest like? Are there dangerous Soul Beasts everywhere?"
"Tch, what Soul Beasts could they have seen?" A crisp girl's voice rang out. Everyone turned to look and saw Xiao Wu walking over. "They probably just found some random Soul Beast on the outskirts of the forest."
Wang Sheng leaned closer to the two of them and explained, "Sister Xiao Wu hasn't been in a good mood lately."
Tang San asked, "What happened? Who provoked her?"
"Alas." Wang Sheng sighed. "The city lord's son seems to have taken a liking to Sister Xiao Wu. He's been pestering her this whole time."
"The city lord's son? Given Xiao Wu's personality, she should have sent him flying long ago." Gu You leaned in and joined their whispers.
"The main problem is that Sister Xiao Wu might not be able to beat him. The city lord's son is Xiao Chenyu, the academy's strongest student I told you about before. She might be able to handle him one-on-one, but he has a lot of followers." Wang Sheng answered.
After he finished speaking, the three of them realized that the surroundings had suddenly fallen silent.
"You! Three!" Xiao Wu's furious voice came from behind Gu You. "Who said I couldn't beat him? I just don't want to stoop to his level!" After saying that, she continued muttering things that made no sense to anyone, such as "They're bullying the few with the many," "Two fists can't beat four hands," "If this had been before, I could have killed you all by myself," and "Sooner or later, I'll have Da Ming and Er Ming tear this place apart."
Tang San asked, "Xiao Wu, aren't you also Innate Full Soul Power? Have you obtained your Soul Ring?"
A trace of pain flashed deep in Xiao Wu's eyes, but she still said proudly, "Of course. I was already a One-Ring Soul Master before entering this academy."
"Then what is your Soul Skill?" Tang San asked curiously.
"Waist Bow." Xiao Wu proudly raised her head. "It can instantly strengthen the power of my waist, and the strengthening effect will increase as my Soul Power rises."
"???" "???" Gu You and Tang San looked at each other.
Tang San hurriedly asked, "Xiao Wu, what is your development path?"
Xiao Wu found it strange that Tang San would ask such an obvious question. "Of course it's the Power Attack System. What else could it be?"
Smack. Gu You slapped a hand over his face. He never expected that this old rabbit really had no self-awareness at all.
Originally, Gu You had thought that since this world differed from the original work in both size and the danger level of its Soul Beasts, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts should also be different from those in the book. At the very least, they ought to be smarter.
Yet this old rabbit had still inexplicably chosen the Power Attack System, just like in the book.
A rabbit Martial Soul had chosen the Power Attack System—and not Cinderace or Bugs Bunny, but a Soft Bone Rabbit famous for its flexible body. How could an ordinary Soft Bone Rabbit possibly serve as a Power Attack System Soul Master?
Gu You looked Xiao Wu up and down. Her waist was indeed very slender, and her legs were long, but anyone could tell at a glance that she was completely unsuited to the Power Attack System.
"What are you looking at? Did my being in the Power Attack System offend you?" Xiao Wu felt creeped out under the gazes of Gu You and Tang San. Seeing Gu You looking her up and down, she planted both hands on her hips and began to rage. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Tang San tactfully reminded Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, could your Martial Soul be somewhat unsuitable for the Power Attack System?"
Gu You was far less polite and immediately began mocking Xiao Wu. "A rabbit Martial Soul in the Power Attack System? Are you planning to kick off with both legs and headbutt your enemies to death? Hahahaha!"
"You—you—" Xiao Wu was so angry that she could barely speak. She pointed at Gu You with her trembling right hand, her lips quivering as if she were about to start cursing.
"All right, all right, don't argue." Seeing that things were taking a bad turn, Tang San immediately stepped between them. He first said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, don't get angry. Xiao You has specifically studied Martial Soul theory and has his own views on it. He has his own ideas about development paths and Soul Skill combinations. The Soul Beast and Soul Skill we chose during our hunting trip were both recommended by him."
After ignoring the surrounding voices of "What!" and "How is that possible!" as irrelevant, Tang San turned to Gu You and said, "Xiao You, don't mock Xiao Wu's Soul Skill either. She doesn't have as much knowledge about Martial Souls as you do, so it's understandable that she chose the wrong development path and Soul Skill."
Tang San thought for a moment, then continued to Gu You, "How about you put in some effort, Xiao You, and see if you can help make sense of Xiao Wu's Soul Skill? That way, she won't continue down the wrong path."
Hearing Tang San's words, Gu You had yet to answer when Xiao Wu objected. "Why should I listen to him? This is my Martial Soul. I don't want him arranging my Soul Skills for me."
Gu You had been about to speak, but he closed his mouth and curled his lips instead. True. Aside from Waist Bow, which can barely be connected to the Power Attack System, all your other Soul Skills are bizarre. Charm, Teleportation, Invincibility, Soft Bone Lock—even the Spirit Bone you get after you're gone gives you Invincibility and Teleportation, both of which are for saving your life. If you don't say anything yourself, who could tell whether you're a Power Attack System Soul Master or a Survival System Soul Master?
Seeing that Xiao Wu was about to erupt again, Tang San and Wang Sheng could only continue calming her down. After Xiao Wu's anger subsided, she regained a little reason. When she heard Tang San say, "I'm not saying you have to listen to Xiao You. It won't hurt to use Xiao You's plans for your Martial Soul as a reference," she thought about it and realized that he was right. In the end, she agreed to accept Tang San's invitation to go to the Spirit Hall the day after tomorrow and listen to how Xiao You analyzed her Martial Soul.
Seeing Xiao Wu return to rest in a huff, Tang San and Gu You exchanged wry smiles, shook their heads, and went to wash up and rest as well.
P.S. I really don't understand why the original work classified the Soft Bone Rabbit as a Power Attack System Soul Master when, aside from Waist Bow, none of its Soul Skills had any offensive power. The only thing I can think of is using Teleportation and Invincibility to rush up to the enemy, then throw them. But what if the enemy has some kind of protection? For example, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon would perfectly counter it simply by surrounding its body with lightning. I really can't make sense of it.
Here's another bonus chapter. I saw everyone's comments, votes, and rewards. Although I'd really like to work hard and add more chapters, reality simply doesn't allow it. In any case, thank you all very much for your support. I'll continue working hard, and everyone should get some rest early too. Finally, I'm still asking for recommendation tickets, collections, and monthly tickets~
