As soon as Tang San returned to the Seventh Dormitory, he saw that the beds that had belonged to Qi Lin and Xiao Wu were empty. His brows immediately furrowed uncontrollably.
"Wang Sheng, where are Xiao Wu and Qi Lin?" Tang San asked.
"Sister Xiao Wu and Brother Qi Lin aren't work-study students. After the new dormitory was completed a couple of days ago, they moved in there."
After hearing Wang Sheng's explanation, Tang San's frown deepened.
Then Wang Sheng asked somewhat enviously, "Did you go hunt spirit beasts recently?"
"Yes!"
Tang San answered irritably, then placed his bundle on the bed.
He did not know why, but upon learning that Xiao Wu had moved out of the Seventh Dormitory, his mood had suddenly turned foul.
After exchanging a few perfunctory words with Wang Sheng and the others, he left the Seventh Dormitory.
As they watched Tang San's departing back, someone in the Seventh Dormitory suddenly muttered under their breath.
"He acts so pretentious!"
Elsewhere!
Inside another spacious and finely decorated dormitory.
When Xiao Wu returned from wandering around outside and saw Qi Lin dismantling, assembling, and reassembling a lighting Soul Tool, she could not help but ask curiously.
"Brother Qi Lin, aren't you bored, taking apart and reassembling these Soul Tools every day?"
"Hm?"
"Not at all. I think assembling Soul Tools is pretty interesting."
"Seriously, I can make some simple Soul Tools on my own now. It feels incredibly rewarding, okay?"
Qi Lin said with a hint of excitement.
"All right. I still don't get what's so interesting about it, though. It looks complicated as hell."
"I feel dizzy just looking at all those densely packed parts."
Qi Lin laughed and pinched Xiao Wu's rosy little cheek.
"Once I make a Game Console, you won't find it boring anymore."
"A Game Console?"
Xiao Wu looked utterly confused.
Qi Lin did not explain. Even if he did, Xiao Wu would not understand with that little head of hers.
Wouldn't that just be wasting his breath?
There were not many people in the new dormitory. Including Qi Lin and Xiao Wu, there were only eight of them, fewer than in the Seventh Dormitory.
At this hour, everyone else in the dormitory was outside playing wildly.
After all, they were only six-year-old children. It was normal for them to be energetic and playful.
But just then, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open from outside, and two figures, one large and one small, appeared inside.
They were none other than Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang and Tang San!
Both harbored their own thoughts.
Tang San wanted to challenge Xiao Wu again and show her his true strength.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, meanwhile, wanted to use Tang San to show Qi Lin what he was capable of.
He wanted Qi Lin to understand what the true cultivation path of Blue Silver Grass was.
Although Qi Lin's martial soul was Mutated Blue Silver Grass, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang believed that all variations shared the same foundation.
Qi Lin could likewise add Soul Rings focused on control and poison attributes, just like Xiao San.
Although he had already wasted one Soul Ring, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang believed that as long as Qi Lin followed his plans from now on, it would not be too late.
When Xiao Wu saw Tang San, she greeted him bluntly, "Xiao San, it's you!"
"Why are you here? Did you get your First Soul Ring and decide you can beat Sister Xiao Wu now?"
Looking at the forthright Xiao Wu before him, Tang San felt his mood improve considerably. He could not help but smile faintly. "Xiao Wu, I forgot to tell you. After absorbing my Soul Ring, I'm level thirteen now too."
"So if we fight again, I might not lose to you!"
At that, an eager expression immediately appeared on Xiao Wu's little face.
There was not a single capable fighter among the others at Nuoding Academy. If Tang San was willing to serve as a punching bag, she was naturally happy to oblige.
"There's not enough room in the dormitory. Let's go somewhere else."
"Okay!"
Seeing Tang San challenge Xiao Wu again, Qi Lin grabbed a bag of snacks and followed after them.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang walked at the very back. As he watched Qi Lin's back, the corner of his mouth curled into a sinister smile, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
The four of them soon arrived at an open lawn behind the academy.
Xiao Wu and Tang San had already assumed their stances, with more than ten meters separating them.
Before coming, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had already analyzed the situation for Tang San.
Xiao Wu's martial soul was a rabbit. Beast Spirits were naturally stronger than plant martial souls in terms of physical constitution.
Therefore, Tang San needed to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, using Blue Silver Grass to harass Xiao Wu from a distance.
Because he had lost once, Tang San did not dare underestimate Xiao Wu in the slightest. He immediately caught her off guard with his First Spirit Ability.
"Blue Silver Bind!"
In an instant, more than ten strands of Blue Silver Grass shot rapidly toward Xiao Wu under his control.
As the two fought, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang approached Qi Lin with a confident smile and struck up a conversation.
"I heard Xiao San mention you. Your name is Qi Lin, right?"
Qi Lin looked at Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang with slight confusion, but still nodded politely.
"That's right, I'm Qi Lin."
"Is something wrong?"
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang smiled faintly and continued, "Xiao San said your martial soul is Mutated Blue Silver Grass?"
Qi Lin nodded again.
"I heard you also have Innate Full Soul Power?"
"That's right!"
Upon hearing Qi Lin's answer, a wise gleam appeared in Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and he immediately recited the same spiel he had used on Tang San.
Then he dropped a bombshell!
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have Twin Martial Souls, right?"
Watching Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's spirited, confident smile and his data analysis precise down to the single digit, he made it sound as though it were all true.
At the same time, within Qi Lin's sea of consciousness.
A plump little silkworm spoke up. "Little Qi Lin, how does this ugly bastard manage to spout nonsense with such confidence?"
Ugly bastard?
Qi Lin gave Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang a strange look. Calling him ugly was a stretch; he was merely utterly ordinary.
Seeing Qi Lin remain silent, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang smiled confidently. "Looks like I guessed correctly."
Qi Lin's mouth twitched slightly.
Then he made a Little Bear Hand Spreading gesture.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I only have one martial soul. At least, I only have one for now."
Hearing this, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang shook his head with a smile and looked at Qi Lin approvingly.
"Not bad. You're very cautious, but your worries are unnecessary. I won't harm you."
"On the contrary, I hope to teach you, become your teacher, and guide you along the path of a soul master."
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's voice was forceful and resolute.
"See that? He is my first disciple, Tang San!"
He suddenly pointed at Tang San, his expression proud.
"Look. Although Xiao San's martial soul is likewise nothing more than the Wasted Spirit Blue Silver Grass, under my guidance, he absorbed a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake as his First Soul Ring."
"After absorbing the Mandala Snake Soul Ring, Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass not only gained binding abilities and the Mandala Snake's venom, but even its toughness became far greater than that of ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
"This also happens to prove my theory."
"Plant-type soul masters do not necessarily have to absorb plant soul beasts!"
The moment he finished speaking, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice immediately rang out frantically in Qi Lin's sea of consciousness.
"Little Qi Lin, don't let this ugly bastard fool you."
"The reason that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is tougher than ordinary Blue Silver Grass is because his Blue Silver Grass was never ordinary Blue Silver Grass to begin with."
"This ugly bastard is both stupid and evil. He actually made Blue Silver Grass, which is primarily life-attributed, attach a Poison Soul Ring."
You could call Sky Dream Ice Silkworm weak!
But you absolutely could not say he lacked knowledge!
