"Ah, are Soul Rings really that important?" Xiao Wu's expression suddenly fell.
"Of course they are. Soul Rings are the foundation of a Soul Master's advancement!" Tang San said with a smile.
"Xiao Wu, Soul Beasts and humans are natural enemies."
"Either humans hunt Soul Beasts, or Soul Beasts devour humans and seize human territory."
"The strong prey on the weak. That is the rule of this world."
"But as long as you are strong enough, you can make the rules yourself."
Luo Hao gently held Xiao Wu's soft little hand and spoke softly.
"Mm, I understand." After hearing Luo Hao's Poisoned Chicken Soup, Xiao Wu's little eyes immediately became even more resolute.
Tang San listened to the two chatting.
He was completely baffled.
He could not understand what they were talking about at all.
However, Luo Hao was his boss, and Tang San's newly acquired Soul Ring naturally carried a hint of showing off.
Very soon.
Blue Silver Grass appeared in Tang San's hand.
A pale yellow Soul Ring rose from beneath him.
It was exceptionally gorgeous.
"Mm, a yellow Soul Ring. Not bad."
"What Soul Beast did it come from?"
Luo Hao asked.
"It was from a Mandala Snake. I got lucky and absorbed a four-hundred-year Soul Ring." Tang San scratched his head and chuckled.
"Oh, not bad."
Yet the shock Tang San had expected never came.
That left him somewhat disappointed.
Didn't he know what it meant for a first Soul Ring to be four hundred years old?
As long as one was human, there would always be a little desire to show off.
Tang San was naturally no exception.
No matter who it was, hearing the shock and envy of others would bring a trace of pride to their heart.
That was only human nature.
What Tang San did not know was that, in Luo Hao's eyes, his Soul Ring was nothing but trash.
"Looks like the butterfly effect I caused wasn't all that significant."
"Tang San still obtained the Mandala Snake's Soul Ring."
"That guy Yu Xiaogang should have been rescued too."
Luo Hao did not interfere with Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's development.
It was precisely to minimize the butterfly effect as much as possible.
If he crushed Tang San too badly, then Tang San would fail to develop properly.
When they encountered the Mandala Snake, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang would both kick the bucket.
The whole story would be over.
Then what the hell would there be left to play?
Six years
quietly passed.
Over those six years, Luo Hao cultivated diligently.
His Soul Power also reached Level 11.
There was really nothing he could do about that.
After all, his Innate Soul Power was only Level 1.
He had thought it was the system's disguise, meant to keep him from standing out too much and becoming the target of jealousy.
But unexpectedly—
Damn it.
His cultivation speed was even worse than that of a useless person with level-one Innate Soul Power.
A whole six years.
And he had only risen one level!!
Fortunately, Over the past six years, That damn system had also issued some missions and choices.
Aside from skill points, the rewards were Soul Ring experience and some trash like Gold Soul Coins, which Luo Hao found utterly boring.
Other than that, The year had been quite dull.
Luo Hao could only reluctantly win over Xiao Wu.
Ahem.
Win her over mentally, that was.
Luo Hao looked at his status panel, feeling quite satisfied.

Besides, Tang San's father had suddenly gone offline for no reason.
This made Tang San very upset.
Fortunately, he had his big brother Luo Hao and second sister Xiao Wu to comfort him.
Tang San emerged from his confusion and began striving harder. His cultivation rose rapidly, and Yu Xiaogang beamed with joy.
PS: I was suddenly dragged back to my hometown for the New Year, so I wrote this chapter on my phone. It's a little rough, but it doesn't affect much. There's nothing more to say about Nuoding Academy—let's get the hell out of there. The protagonist can't wait to intercept Zhu Zhuqing!
I was originally going to write 10,000 words today, but—
I'll make it up tomorrow. The massive updates will continue tomorrow. A mere Spring Festival can't stop me from writing.
Finally, I wish everyone a happy New Year's Eve!
Please leave a good review! Pitiful me.

...Chapter 36: First Encounter with the Black Kitty, Zhu Zhuqing...
Balak Kingdom.
South.
A vast expanse of desert.
This was the buffer zone where the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire met.
There were few traces of human habitation.
Further ahead lay the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, heavily guarded by troops.
At this moment.
A young girl wrapped head to toe in a black robe walked alone across the scorching rocky ground.
Her slender figure moved as her robes fluttered in the wind.
Yet her gaze was filled with determination.
Not far from the girl.
Atop a cliff.
A plainly dressed young man slowly lowered his binoculars.
"Ugh, damn system, what kind of garbage mission did you give me?"
"Zhu Zhuqing is practically a feral, temperamental cat."
"You want me to take her as my disciple? How the hell am I supposed to pull that off?"
Luo Hao grumbled and cursed.
Just moments ago.
