Spirit Power Cultivation Method

"Xiao Wu, which village are you from?"

"A village... let me think. Oh, right, Panlong Village..."

"Xiao Wu, who taught you your Soft Skill?"

"My family taught me! But my parents are both gone..."

"..."

On the way to buy bedding with Xiao Wu, Mo Bai probed indirectly, hoping to learn more about the mysterious girl.

Yet all he got was information that was neither here nor there.

Moreover, Mo Bai quickly realized that this little girl was not as innocent as she appeared. Whenever he questioned her, she would also pretend to be innocently curious and directly question him in return.

"By the way, are you and that Tang San really brothers?"

"Your Martial Souls are the same, and you both have Innate Full Soul Power!"

In the end, Xiao Wu even asked about Mo Bai's relationship with Tang San.

Wang Sheng had asked about it in the dormitory earlier, but she had only been angry at the time. Now that she thought of it, she naturally asked Mo Bai out of curiosity.

"No. Tang San and I don't share even the slightest blood relation, and we're not from the same village either!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Mo Bai immediately denied it.

"Oh..."

"Then do you know where he's from?"

Xiao Wu nodded at his answer, then continued pressing Mo Bai for information.

"Wait..." Mo Bai stopped walking and looked at Xiao Wu speechlessly. "Why are you so interested in that guy? Did you fall for him the moment you met him?"

Mo Bai knew that Xiao Wu might be the female lead in Douluo and would end up with Tang San, but they had only just met. Did they already have feelings for each other?

It was obvious that Tang San liked Xiao Wu—he had been completely stunned when he first saw her.

But Mo Bai had thought Xiao Wu would not develop feelings for Tang San so quickly. Yet she kept asking him about Tang San.

"Of course not!"

"I'll get mad if you keep spouting nonsense!"

Xiao Wu immediately stomped her feet and glared angrily at Mo Bai.

It looked as though, if they disagreed on a single word, she would attack Mo Bai with those seemingly petite yet fierce legs of hers.

"Then why do you keep asking about him?"

Mo Bai shrugged.

"That's because I feel something strange about him... Anyway, I don't know how to put it. He just feels weird!"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and explained.

What she had originally wanted to say was that Tang San carried an aura that felt familiar to her. But she knew saying that would only make Mo Bai misunderstand even more, so she changed her wording.

"Weird?" Could it be his temperament? An adult soul in a child's body would inevitably be a little different.

But wouldn't that apply to me too?

"Then what about me? Do I feel weird to you?"

Mo Bai hurriedly followed up. He had no intention of exposing the fact that he had been reborn.

He had already been doing his best to act like a child. If there was still a problem, he would have to be even more careful.

The safest method would be to have less contact with other people.

In a few years, once he was older and naturally more mature, it would no longer be an issue!

"You? No..."

Xiao Wu looked at Mo Bai. Naturally assuming that he was asking about that familiar feeling, she immediately shook her head.

Hearing that, Mo Bai instantly breathed a sigh of relief, then scolded Xiao Wu, "What do you mean, 'you'? From now on, call me Boss, like everyone else!"

Mm, that fit his current stage much better!

"No way! In a few days, I'll challenge you again and take back the dorm leader position!"

"The position of Seventh Dormitory's dorm leader will definitely be mine, Xiao Wu's!"

Hearing Mo Bai's words, Xiao Wu immediately looked disgusted and annoyed, then declared fiercely.

"You? I'll be waiting."

Mo Bai curled his lip.

"Hmph, just you wait!"

Seeing Mo Bai's disdainful expression, Xiao Wu immediately grew furious.

Just wait until I obtain my first Spirit Ring in a few days. Let's see how you can keep acting so arrogant then!

For the rest of the journey, Xiao Wu ignored Mo Bai because she was angry.

Mo Bai did not mind. After all, he had no designs on the little girl.

Although he knew she might be the female lead of Douluo and that, following the usual tropes, Xiao Wu would definitely become very beautiful in the future.

No matter what, though, Xiao Wu was still just a little girl right now, and Mo Bai was not enough of a beast to have thoughts about a six-year-old child.

After buying bedding, the two returned.

That one set of bedding had used up nearly all of Mo Bai's remaining money.

Fortunately, there was no need to spend money at the academy. Otherwise, life would truly have been too difficult.

"You are all students who have just entered the academy!"

"The first lesson today will be Spirit Power cultivation!"

"This is the foundation of a Spirit Master's cultivation. Only by mastering a Spirit Power Cultivation Method can you raise your Spirit Power as quickly as possible!"

On the second day, the first lesson in class was the Spirit Power Cultivation Method.

It was the Spirit Power Cultivation Method that every Spirit Master on this continent had to master.

Filled with curiosity, Mo Bai followed the classroom teacher's instructions and tried cultivating it.

In the end, Mo Bai discovered that the Spirit Power Cultivation Method taught by the teacher was far less effective than his own Startling Feather Art. After trying it a few times, he gave up on it.

But even if Mo Bai cultivated the Startling Feather Art now, it would not have much effect.

He had reached a bottleneck and could not break through the first layer no matter what.

Having watched the first few episodes of the anime, Mo Bai knew this was because the world was different, and so were its laws. Only after he absorbed his first Spirit Ring and broke through from Spirit Warrior to Spirit Master would he be able to shatter the first layer's shackles in the Startling Feather Art.

However, Mo Bai did not want to absorb a Spirit Ring so casually.

He felt it was necessary to gain a clearer understanding of Martial Souls and Spirit Rings before absorbing his first Spirit Ring.

Aside from what the teachers taught in class, Mo Bai had learned that Nuoding Academy had a library where students could borrow books.

The only thing troubling Mo Bai was that he had not yet learned this world's writing system.

There was nothing he could do about that. He could only wait for the academy teachers to teach him.

"Everyone learned the Spirit Power Cultivation Method this morning. This afternoon, I'll teach you your academic subjects!"

"This will be the schedule every day from now on: cultivate Spirit Power in the morning, and study academic subjects in the afternoon!"

"You have all just enrolled, so we'll begin by learning how to read!"

That afternoon, the academy teacher began teaching academic subjects.

Swish, swish, swish~~~

Then, the teacher wrote a character on the blackboard.

"This is the character for Ma, the surname of your Teacher Ma!"

"Let's start with the character Ma as your first word!"

"Once you've learned this character, I'll slowly teach you the basics bit by bit!"

This Teacher Ma was quite the oddball. The first character he taught was actually his own surname.

"Traditional Chinese characters!"

At that moment, though, Mo Bai did not care whether Teacher Ma was strange or not. His eyes widened as he stared at the character for Ma on the blackboard.

A pleasant surprise had arrived out of nowhere.

It was like being handed a pillow just when he felt sleepy!
