Blazing Blowing Fire Palm, One Year

Xiao Xian naturally knew Xiao Wu's background.

Her First Soul Skill was called Waist Bow. It could instantly increase her waist strength by one hundred percent while boosting her flexibility by fifty percent.

For a rabbit,

strengthening her waist strength and then using Soft Skill

would let her easily hurl her opponent away.

It could even be said

that as long as Xiao Wu got close, even an Assault System Soul Master whose Soul Power was ten levels higher than hers

would find it difficult to keep their footing under this Soul Skill.

One careless moment, and their bones would be broken from the throw.

But in Xiao Xian's eyes, this Soul Skill was rather strange.

If the opponent was human, then throwing them was one thing.

But if it was a Soul Beast...

What use would this Soul Skill have?

Soul Beasts came in all shapes and sizes.

Some were as huge as mountains, while others were as tiny as dust.

Some were covered in spikes, while others had Potent Toxin in their skin.

Get close and throw them?

He was afraid that even if she wanted to throw them, she would not know where to grab or where to exert force.

"But what does that have to do with me?"

Xiao Xian secretly shook his head. He would just assume that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had its own strange ideas.

Watching Xiao Wu rush closer, seemingly still intending to counterattack,

he raised his left hand and gave a light slap.

Boom—!

A violent gale suddenly burst forth.

"Urgh!"

Caught off guard, Xiao Wu's small face was hit head-on by what felt like a Category Ten hurricane. Her flesh immediately rippled and distorted.

Her nose, eyes, and mouth were all filled with a blast of cold wind!

Her mind instantly went blank.

Driven by the gale, her upper body fell straight backward.

Xiao Xian released Xiao Wu's braid and swept his right leg behind her heels.

She fell even faster, crashing heavily onto the ground!

The sight was rather ugly.

"Urgh—! You...! Cough, cough... blegh!"

Xiao Wu lay half-reclined on the ground, thoroughly dazed by the fall. Cold wind had whipped tears from her eyes so badly that she could not open them at all. Her nasal passages had been choked so hard that her snot was nearly flying out. Her throat felt even worse; the cold wind had nearly poured straight into her stomach, leaving her coughing and retching.

She had never expected Xiao Xian's Soul Skill to be so bizarre and underhanded, launching a sneak attack while she was not paying attention!

"Big Sister Xiao Wu..."

The Work-Study Students looked at one another, all appearing rather shocked.

Big Sister Xiao Wu had just been showing off her might, beating more than twenty upperclassmen until they had nowhere to run.

Yet she had gone down in a single exchange?

"Urgh! Boss Xiao! Boss Xiao!" The upperclassmen were also somewhat surprised, but the next moment, they all burst into cheers.

They knew it. How could Boss Xiao possibly lose?

Tang San hid among the upperclassmen, purple light flickering in his eyes. He looked rather surprised as well.

A palm strike produced a gale.

And it looked quite powerful.

It could practically be considered an Empty Splitting Palm!

What kind of miraculous Soul Skill was this?

Xiao Xian had no intention of pressing his advantage.

"You lost." He took two steps back and spoke calmly.

Xiao Xian was a little disappointed.

He had planned to demonstrate the similarities and differences between Suction Palm and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon.

He had not even used the combination of Suction Palm and Blowing Fire Palm.

Yet Xiao Wu had already fallen.

It seemed he could only demonstrate it later when he sparred with Tang San.

After all, Teacher had said that Tang San would temporarily be under his care.

"..."

After quite a while,

Xiao Wu finally climbed back to her feet.

"Since you lost, from now on, you are not allowed to be too heavy-handed with the students in the academy."

"At the very least, their heads cannot be swollen like pig heads."

Xiao Xian hoped this violent rabbit, Xiao Wu, would restrain herself a little.

The moment his words fell,

"Ah...!"

The excitement and smug satisfaction on Xiao Chenyu and the other upperclassmen's faces vanished completely, replaced by miserable cries.

Xiao Xian was actually not going to protect them!

Did that not mean they would not only be unable to bully the Work-Study Students in the future, but would also get beaten up?!

None of them were a match for Xiao Wu.

"Junior Brother, let's go."

Xiao Xian beckoned to Tang San, then turned and left.

He could not be bothered with this childish nonsense between a bunch of kids.

He did not even have enough time for his own cultivation.

Tang San stepped out from the crowd. Only after giving Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng an apologetic, awkward smile did he hurriedly follow Xiao Xian.

"..."

After returning to the academy, Xiao Xian bought Master lunch and began cultivating in Master's Dormitory. He could not waste time.

Tang San took the time to return to the Seventh Dormitory and explain things, then came back to Master's Dormitory to care for him.

Only then did Xiao Xian learn that after he left, Xiao Wu had nearly beaten Xiao Chenyu and the others up again in her anger.

Xiao Chenyu and the others were utterly numb.

They definitely could not win in a fight.

As for comparing backgrounds,

just look at that Hundred-Year Soul Ring.

He was the city lord's son, yet his First Spirit Ring was only a ten-year one.

Left with no choice, they could only acknowledge Xiao Wu as their boss.

Xiao Wu thus became the big sister of their group.

Even the Work-Study Students no longer had to do their assigned work.

Having saved so much time, Tang San happily gave each of Xiao Wu's dormmates a stalk of Sugarcane.

He did not charge them.

The other dormmates all said it tasted great.

Only Xiao Wu rushed frantically to Spirit Hall.

After that,

Xiao Xian and Tang San cared for Master for nearly two months before he barely recovered.

That was even with Master gnawing on a stalk of Tang San's Sugarcane whenever he had nothing to do.

All they could say was that this injury had truly been severe.

Their previous expectations had been far too optimistic.

After all, the Potent Toxin had remained in his body for too long, the amount had been too great, and there had been too many bite wounds.

The fact that Master had not died on the spot was already proof that Tang San's treatment had been skillful and timely.

Tang San's life at the academy was very regular.

At dawn, he cultivated Purple Demon Eye atop the dormitory building.

He attended classes in the morning.

He forged in the afternoon.

Especially after Master recovered, he often went to the Blacksmith Shop to forge, specifically using the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to process iron.

The iron processed with Disorder Splitting Wind was of excellent quality.

The quality of the metalware from Shi San Blacksmith Shop rose by an entire level.

Overjoyed, Shi San directly offered Tang San a high salary of five Silver Soul Coins.

At night, he returned to cultivate Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Xiao Xian's life was also very regular.

At dawn, he placed Xiao Jue atop the dormitory building and let it secretly learn Purple Demon Eye. Tang San was even happy about this, since he had company. Only then did he learn that his Senior Brother's martial soul could cultivate as well. It was truly miraculous.

Xiao Xian attended even fewer academy classes in the morning, choosing instead to cultivate in the dormitory.

He cultivated in the afternoons too, or else gnawed on several stalks of Tang San's Sugarcane to temper his body.

He had certainly supported Tang San's business quite a bit.

He had many heavy iron implements forged there.

While he was at it, he secretly learned Chaotic Wind. At the same time, he kicked away Tang San's bellows while he was forging, then demonstrated Blowing Fire Palm.

The gale from Blowing Fire Palm was far more useful than a bellows.

The fire burned fiercely.

With the iron heated to the proper temperature, Tang San became even more energetic while using Disorder Splitting Wind.

At night, he secretly learned the second level of Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Under such circumstances, his Soul Power progressed at an astonishing rate, rising several tiers faster than before.

Master was stunned.

But when he saw how diligently Xiao Xian cultivated, along with the cheat that was Xiao Jue,

he became much more accepting of it.

Then came excitement.

He felt that his luck was truly excellent.

To have accepted two disciples with such extraordinary talent.

Besides that,

Tang San truly coveted Blowing Fire Palm.

He had Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon and could also produce suction and pulling force.

But whether it was suction or pulling force, neither seemed as powerful as Xiao Xian's Suction Palm and Blowing Fire Palm.

Xiao Xian understood this perfectly well.

His Suction Palm and Blowing Fire Palm were built upon his First Soul Skill, Sunlight Spore, which enhanced Soul Power activity...

He generously taught Tang San his Self-Created Soul Skill and then supplied him with many Water Skins filled with Sunlight Spores.

Tang San was overjoyed.

But the price was that Sunlight Spores circulated through his body almost every second of every moment...

He had even become completely unable to live without Xiao Xian's Sunlight Spores.

At the same time, Tang San improved Blowing Fire Palm and Suction Palm somewhat based on his own knowledge.

Xiao Xian benefited greatly from this.

It was no wonder Xiao Xian cultivated every day.

The Sunlight Spores in Tang San's body were too dense, making them easy and clear for Xiao Xian to sense.

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Purple Demon Eye, and Mysterious Jade Hand...

They were simply too wonderful.

Mysterious Jade Hand in particular...

The meridians in Xiao Xian's hands had grown far stronger, and the power of Suction Palm and Blowing Fire Palm had increased by several more levels as well.

And so, in the blink of an eye, a year passed.
