Signing In at Taoshan Village, Obtaining a Set of Mizong Fist Accelerated Version, Running into Xiao Wu—How About a Spar?

Taoshan Village.

It lay deep within a mountain valley.

Wang Xiao rode his horse all the way, practically sightseeing from Holy Spirit Village to Taoshan Village.

A stone stele stood at the village entrance, engraved with the three words: Taoshan Village.

It had quite a sense of age to it.

"I'm here, I'm here!" Wang Xiao chuckled, in high spirits.

The scenery here was picturesque, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. It was indeed a fine place for sightseeing.

It was noon, and the sun shone brightly.

But the sun was scorching, and Wang Xiao was drenched in sweat.

A gust of wind blew down from the mountains, making his clothes flutter.

Only then did Wang Xiao feel a little cooler.

Taoshan Village... Why had the system sent him here to sign in?

Wang Xiao was puzzled.

"Ding! You have successfully signed in at Taoshan Village. Reward: one set of Mizong Fist Accelerated Version! Would you like to learn it?"

Mizong Fist?

An accelerated version?

Was this an upgraded version of the low-martial Mizong Fist?

In other words, it could be upgraded into a mid-martial or even high-martial version!

"Learn it. Of course I'll learn it!" Wang Xiao giggled.

With this Mizong Fist Accelerated Version, I won't have to fear fighting Tang San anymore.

Still, Tang San's Hidden Weapons were truly troublesome. They could even kill a Titled Douluo, so Wang Xiao could not afford to underestimate them!

"Ding! You are learning one set of Mizong Fist Accelerated Version. It is expected to be completed within one minute!"

At that moment, Wang Xiao's body began to move on its own.

He instinctively assumed the proper stance as images of the Mizong Fist Accelerated Version flooded his mind, and he began copying the movements.

One minute later.

"Ding! You have mastered one set of Mizong Fist Accelerated Version. You may find someone to spar with! Note: Before receiving your next Sign-in Task, please do not leave the task area without authorization. Otherwise, the task will reset, and you will receive a system penalty!"

Wang Xiao was speechless. Who was he supposed to spar with?

Taoshan Village was hidden away in such a remote mountain valley. There probably was no one here capable of sparring with him, right?

"La la la... La la la..."

Just then, a pink little girl came hopping toward the village entrance from outside the village.

Huh?

Hearing the sound, Wang Xiao immediately turned around. He saw a little girl about his age.

She wore a short pink dress and little leather shoes. Petite and delicate, she looked lively and adorable.

And she was an acquaintance!

Wasn't she that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the "Soft-Boned" little rabbit, Xiao Wu?

Tang San's girlfriend in the original Douluo Dalu book!

No, Xiao Wu and Tang San did not know each other yet. They would only meet after enrolling at Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy.

So the two of them had no relationship at all right now.

Then why had Xiao Wu come to Taoshan Village?

Wang Xiao thought about it. The original Douluo Dalu book had never mentioned why Xiao Wu came to Taoshan Village.

When she first appeared, she was already at Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy as a work-study student.

That meant Xiao Wu must have lived in some village among humans before going to Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy.

That was how she had gotten the chance to awaken her martial soul.

So Xiao Wu must have been living in Taoshan Village now.

But another question arose. She was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and had no need to awaken a martial soul like a human, so where had her work-study student slot come from?

There was only one explanation. She had used some trickery during the martial soul awakening, then tested as having Soul Power.

Or perhaps she had bought a spot. Either was possible.

Wang Xiao guessed and guessed but could not figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Xiao Wu happened to be quite formidable. Though she was only six years old, she already possessed soul skills. This could be fun.

He wondered whether the Mizong Fist Accelerated Version he had just learned could defeat Xiao Wu's soul skills.

"Who are you?"

While Wang Xiao was mulling it over, Xiao Wu had already stopped in front of him. She stared at him with sharp eyes.

Bang!

Without another word, he threw out a palm strike directly at Xiao Wu's chest. Fast as the wind, it was already upon her.

Caught off guard, Xiao Wu took Wang Xiao's palm strike to the chest and stumbled back several steps before finally steadying herself.

"Hahahaha!"

Wang Xiao burst into a wicked laugh.

This was exactly what he wanted—catching her by surprise.

He had to catch her off guard. Otherwise, given Xiao Wu's agility, it would be truly difficult to hit her in a single move.

"You dared to sneak attack me?" Xiao Wu was furious at what he had done. Her pretty face flushed red as she glared at him.

She raised both hands and assumed a fighting stance, ready to retaliate at any moment.

Xiao Wu thinks I'm a bad guy!

But that was exactly the effect he wanted. Otherwise, how would he provoke her into attacking?

Wang Xiao gave a shameless smile. "I'm Wang Xiao. May I ask who you are, little miss?"

"Hmph." Xiao Wu furrowed her lovely brows. "Cut the nonsense. Beat me, and I'll tell you!"

Xiao Wu was beautiful, kind-hearted, and compassionate. She did everything straightforwardly, including fighting.

Wang Xiao knew she was about to attack, so he prepared himself in advance and waited for her to make her move.

Xiao Wu wanted justice, so she immediately launched her attack and dashed toward him.

Then she sprang into the air, spun three hundred and sixty degrees like a soaring swan, and kicked toward the side of Wang Xiao's neck.

Wang Xiao was quick-eyed and fleet-footed. He had long been on guard against this move from Xiao Wu and retreated sharply, dodging her kick.

From the original Douluo Dalu book, Wang Xiao knew Xiao Wu's soul skills inside out. Getting close to her would only put him at a disadvantage.

He could only widen the distance first, then probe her techniques and attacks.

Xiao Wu was quite surprised that he had actually dodged.

She had defeated plenty of human children and soul masters before. This move had always worked without fail.

Very few people could dodge it, yet the little boy before her had. Could he be even faster than her?

Hmph!

I refuse to accept this!

Xiao Wu continued attacking.

Seeing Xiao Wu's confused expression after missing him, Wang Xiao's eyes were full of delight.

Only an opponent like this is qualified to fight me.

How could Xiao Wu be willing to let it go? With her temperament, she would never stop until they had decided victory or defeat.

She immediately leaped forward like a rabbit, turned her head, and whipped her scorpion braid toward Wang Xiao's cervical spine like a little dragon swinging its tail.

Wang Xiao gave a wicked smile. If he remembered correctly, Xiao Wu had another move that followed this one in combination.

First, she would use her scorpion braid to wrap around the opponent's neck and yank them behind her, then follow up with Rabbit Kick Eagle.

Whether it struck the waist, chest, or abdomen, the injury would be no light matter.

What he feared most was Xiao Wu's chain attacks. Once she landed even one hit, she would unleash a whole set of moves. Even if it did not kill someone, it would leave them crippled.

And that was with her holding back. If Xiao Wu went all out and kicked someone several hundred times in a row, she could send them flying more than ten meters away.

Then they would be seriously injured. Breaking a few bones would be the least of it.

Unfortunately for her, this move was useless against Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao leaped up and neatly dodged Xiao Wu's scorpion braid, leaving her follow-up Rabbit Kick Eagle with no chance to be used.

Xiao Wu was already beside herself with anger. "You keep dodging around—what kind of man is that? If you've got the guts, fight me face-to-face! Coward!"

Wang Xiao merely looked at her. "Save your provocation. Don't think I can't see through you. Your skills are all close-range attacks. Anyone who gets close to you is in for trouble."

"You want to fool me? Do you really think I'm like those people, unable to see through your little Three-Legged Cat Skill?"

"Three-Legged Cat Skill? You dared to say my skills are Three-Legged Cat Skill?" Xiao Wu was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and snapped at Wang Xiao from a distance.

"If it's not Three-Legged Cat Skill, why do you keep hopping around? What are you, a rabbit?" Wang Xiao retorted without politeness.

At the mention of a rabbit, Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat. Then she angrily said, "Fine! Today, I'll show you whose skills are Three-Legged Cat Skill."

Xiao Wu had already lost her reason. She rushed toward him, springing, jumping, flying, kicking, clamping, sweeping, stomping, spinning, circling, and using Waist Bow. She unleashed her skills and Leg Skill to the fullest.

Wang Xiao kept dodging. Fortunately, he had the abilities of the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, along with the running speed and physical agility he had painstakingly trained for nearly half a year in Holy Spirit Village.

Otherwise, he truly would not have been able to evade Xiao Wu's nearly perfect set of soul skills and Leg Skill.
