Chapter 10
Watching the departing figure, Snake Princess looked adorably angry.
But Taishi Ming wore a teasing expression and praised, "Bai Jingjing is such a nice name."
Snake Princess said, "What's so nice about Bai Jingjing? You little pervert just think she's pretty."
Taishi Ming did not argue, but inwardly mocked it without end.
What a great name!
In his previous life, someone named themselves Yan because they lacked fire in their fate.
Someone named themselves Miao because they lacked water in their fate.
So, if someone was named Jing, what did they lack?
And it was not just one Jing character, but two. The key was that her surname was Bai.
How could that name not be good?
To men, it simply could not be any better.
Auntie's smile!
After the Bai Jingjing episode, Snake Princess brought Taishi Ming to the dean's office.
Dean Chang Fenglin looked teasingly at the unusual couple before him.
"Oh my, isn't this Snake Princess? Could the one beside you be your little husband? He really is a handsome young man!"
Taishi Ming said, "Is 'handsome young man' really used to describe a child?"
Snake Princess looked embarrassed and did not respond, because that would only make things more awkward. After all, she did have a little husband!
So she directly explained why they had come. "Dean, his name is Taishi Ming. He is six years old, his martial soul is the Azure Spirit Gourd, and he has level thirteen Soul Power. He is a Food-Type Battle Soul Master. His First Soul Ring Skill is Soul Wine! It can restore half the Soul Power of Soul Masters at his level or below. For those above his level, each additional soul ring reduces the recovery by one level."
The teasing expression vanished from Chang Fenglin's face, replaced by utter delight.
Level thirteen at six years old—he was absolutely a genius.
Moreover, this Soul Wine soul skill was incredibly useful.
"You came to request an exception for his enrollment, right? I approve. Hahaha! It looks like the food system is about to gain another genius."
As he spoke, Chang Fenglin took an item from a drawer and handed it to Taishi Ming.
"Take this to Tang Doudou, the vice principal in charge of the food system. She'll arrange a class for you."
Taishi Ming did not take it. "Can I join the Assault System?"
"What?"
Chang Fenglin was a little dazed, and Snake Princess looked equally astonished.
Snake Princess knocked Taishi Ming on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would a Food-Type Soul Master join the Assault System?"
At that moment, Chang Fenglin came back to his senses and said meaningfully, "Little fellow, don't tell me you want to join the Assault System because your elder wife is there?"
Taishi Ming covered his head and glared angrily at Snake Princess. "Of course not. I just think that as a support-type Soul Master, I should know how to protect myself. Before coming here, I learned from Aunt Xu that support-type Soul Masters at the academy generally only study things like meditation and Soul Beast classifications. They are basically left to fend for themselves!"
It was already a basic belief in this world that support types hid behind battle, agility, and control types.
Upon suddenly hearing Taishi Ming say this,
both Chang Fenglin and Snake Princess were stunned.
Taishi Ming ignored them and continued, "Take a support-type Soul Master at the Soul Saint level. If he and a Soul Master from another system both have Soul Saint-level Soul Power, then logically, without releasing their martial souls or using soul skills, they should be equal. But if they really fought, a support type probably wouldn't even last one move against the other systems."
Chang Fenglin smiled. "That isn't quite right. For beast-type martial souls, every additional soul ring brings a qualitative leap in the body. How could they be equal?"
At the same time, he gave Taishi Ming an approving glance. He liked students who knew how to think.
Taishi Ming clapped his hands. "Right, I forgot about that. But even so, if support types trained like the other systems, they would gain some fighting ability instead of being utterly powerless."
"Leaving everything else aside, their dodging ability and physical reactions alone would improve greatly. That would greatly increase a support Soul Master's ability to survive in battle, and the survival of a support Soul Master affects the survival of an entire team."
Actually, Taishi Ming was just spouting nonsense, because he also had the Seven Sha Sword martial soul.
If he did not join the Assault System, then how would he learn swordsmanship in the Agility Attack System?
Of course, not all of his nonsense was nonsense. He had made it up based on what Grandmaster said to Oscar in the original work.
Chang Fenglin fell into thought.
Was Taishi Ming wrong?
Having experienced countless battles, how could he fail to understand the importance of a support type to a team?
And if a support type truly trained like the other systems, then although their martial souls would still prevent them from matching the other systems in strength,
a Soul Saint-level support type with combat skills no weaker than those of the Assault System
and powerful Soul Power might very well possess strength comparable to Soul Masters with three or four soul rings from other systems!
Though it had never been tried, it should be possible. After all, Soul Saint-level Soul Power was right there!
Even if a Soul Saint-level support type only had the combat power of three or four soul rings, it would greatly increase their survivability in battle, which would absolutely benefit the entire team.
He was now considering whether the rules of the Support System should be changed.
Perhaps it could noticeably improve all of the academy's teams.
But rules were rules; they could not simply be changed on a whim. How about using this boy as an example first? Once he achieved results through training, Chang Fenglin could propose changing the rules with something to back it up.
So he nodded. "Alright!"
Taishi Ming smiled when he heard that. "That's great! Oh, and there's no need to arrange a dormitory for me. I sleep with my wife!"
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing that, Chang Fenglin nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. Sure enough, he wanted to join the Assault System just to be with his wife—not to sleep with his wife.
Everything he had said earlier had been pure nonsense! Though some of it made sense, nonsense was still nonsense!
Snake Princess's face turned bright red. Who knew whether it was from embarrassment or anger.
In any case, she had no face left to remain in front of the dean. She grabbed Taishi Ming and headed straight outside.
Taishi Ming did not struggle. He had gotten used to being carried around these past few days anyway.
In a thoroughly cheerful mood, he shouted, "Dean, then it's settled!"
Chang Fenglin's face twitched.
What did he mean, settled? Had Chang Fenglin agreed?
Still, whether the little couple slept together or not was not really his business!
Whatever. Let them do as they pleased!
After leaving the dean's office, Snake Princess's face was so dark it looked as if water could drip from it. "Taishi Ming, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Taishi Ming said, "Are you trying to murder your husband?!"
"Crack, crack!"
Snake Princess's fists cracked.
Taishi Ming immediately gave in. "My dear wife, I was wrong! From now on, whatever you say goes. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. If you tell me to catch chickens, I'll never chase dogs."
"What chickens and dogs? Where would this academy even get chickens and dogs?"
Snake Princess truly did not know whether to laugh or cry. She had given up. Taking this impossibly cheeky little brat seriously would definitely anger her to death.
So she no longer cared about the rule she had set before coming here—that he was not allowed to call her wife or dear wife at the academy.
Whatever. Let him call her whatever he wanted!
Things had already come to this.
