Douluo: The System Arrived Ten Thousand Years Early, and I Crushed Tang San

But Xiao Tian did not care much about that, because he had gained even more!

Over the past year, he had cultivated the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique, Drunken Immortal Gazing Moon Steps, and other skills taught to him by the system to perfection!

Even the Soldier Script Secret had become extremely proficient in his hands.

One had to know that even Tang San, who possessed the memories of cultivating the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques in his previous life, had still spent over a decade—nearly twenty years—in this life to cultivate those skills to perfection!

The only regret was that, after an entire year, he had still never triggered the Jie Zi Mi. The trigger rate for it was simply far too low.

Right now, he only possessed the Soldier Script Secret, which merely gave him an additional ten percent chance. That was still not enough.

Xiao Tian believed that his journey had been too smooth. He had not encountered enough pressure to stimulate his potential.

If he were in a life-or-death crisis, Xiao Tian believed he would definitely be able to trigger it successfully!

Xiao Tian shook his head and temporarily tossed the thought aside.

It was worth mentioning that improving his Sword Intent truly helped increase Soul Power. It was somewhat similar to the effect of a Mimicry Cultivation Environment, except this was even more advanced.

Xiao Tian looked around the back mountain one last time, reluctant to leave, then said lightly, "Holy Spirit Village really is a nice place. Let's go."

The two of them thought Xiao Tian was praising the scenery of Holy Spirit Village, but in truth, there was another meaning behind his words.

It was nice because there was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone here, as well as Ah Yin.

Although the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was not particularly suited to him, its effects were still incredibly overpowered. If he could not obtain a good Soul Bone from the continent or the system later on, then the Blue Silver Emperor's leg bone would still be a fine choice.

A few days passed quickly.

Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu casually stayed at Tang San's home for one night before leaving early the next morning. The three of them headed together to Jianghun Village, where Xiao Tian lived.

Jianghun Village was, as its name implied, simply a village with many blacksmiths. This piqued Tang San's interest, because he himself was a blacksmith. He wanted to go take a look and see whether Jianghun Village's blacksmiths could teach him anything.

Of course, the most important reason was that Xiao Wu wanted to go with Xiao Tian, while Tang San did not want to return alone. So he could only follow them.

As soon as they returned to Nuoding Academy,

Xiao Tian did not rush to absorb the External Soul Bone given by the system. Instead, he waited a few days first.

Under the pretense of sparring, he beat Tang San up viciously for several days.

In the end, Tang San lay in the Seventh Dormitory with tears in his eyes and a few bandages wrapped around his body, slowly nursing his injuries.

"Xiao Tian, you can be considered half my disciple now, can't you? How could you treat your senior brother like this and beat him into such serious condition?"

Inside the Seventh Dormitory, Yu Xiaogang pointed at Xiao Tian furiously as he questioned him.

Xiao Tian helplessly waved his hand. "Master, I'm helping Tang San cultivate. Look at how fast Tang San has improved over the past year. Without any resources, that can already be considered extremely fast, right? You can't deny that."

"And look, when Xiao Wu loses a sparring match, she gets punished too. I'm not playing favorites. Tang San has to cultivate every day, study theoretical knowledge, and work as a blacksmith. I'm doing this for his own good.

Now he has even more time to stay in the Seventh Dormitory and cultivate properly. Hehe."

Tang San, lying on the bed, wore a bitter expression. Gee, thanks so much!

Seeing that he could not outargue Xiao Tian, Yu Xiaogang pointed at the completely unharmed Xiao Wu beside him and said calmly, "And this is what you call not playing favorites? Why is Xiao San lying down while Xiao Wu is standing?"

Without the slightest embarrassment, Xiao Tian said, "That's because Xiao Wu is a girl. A token punishment is enough for her. You can ask Tang San—he agreed to this too. Ask him whether he wants Xiao Wu to lie in bed like him."

Yu Xiaogang: ...

I'm tired. Let destruction take it all!

He no longer wanted to deal with it. Turning around, he flicked his sleeve and left.

When Xiao Wu noticed Xiao Tian looking at her, she instinctively covered her rear with both hands and glared at him viciously.

Unfortunately, it had no intimidating effect at all.

"Cultivate properly. Otherwise, next time I'll make you end up like Tang San too."

Xiao Tian left behind that threat, causing Xiao Wu to freeze on the spot before he too left the dormitory.

A few seconds later, Xiao Wu's furious roar came from the Seventh Dormitory.

"Xiao Tian, you bastard! You're not human! You pervert!"

Xiao Tian: Mm, what wonderful praise...

Xiao Tian had only said that to scare her a little, so she would obediently remain at the academy and cultivate. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he left the academy and found an inn in the city.

That was right. He planned to absorb the External Soul Bone given by the system at the inn. He had been unable to wait any longer!

With Xiao Wu and Tang San both at the academy, he could temporarily escape Tang Hao's watchful eyes and absorb the Soul Bone to his heart's content!

What kind of Soul Skill would this Ethereal Sword Wing External Soul Bone bring him?

Ethereal Sword Wing External Soul Bone, Theory Shattered? ### Inside an inn room.

Xiao Tian carefully took out the External Soul Bone rewarded by the system from his storage Soul Tool.

It was shaped like transparent sword-like wings, with three pairs of wing feathers that looked exceptionally sharp.

System, conceal the aura around me later. Don't let the Soul Bone's aura leak out.

After giving that simple instruction, Xiao Tian sat cross-legged on the bed and began absorbing the Soul Bone.

Half an hour passed.

Xiao Tian opened his eyes, which gleamed brightly. This External Soul Bone truly was a good thing!

It had raised his Soul Power by two levels in one go, bringing him to level nineteen.

The Ethereal Sword Wing External Soul Bone had currently granted Xiao Tian two Soul Bone Skills.

Sword Wing Soar allowed Xiao Tian to gain the ability to fly after activation, while increasing his movement speed by a certain amount.

Ethereal Sword Qi allowed Xiao Tian to release Sword Qi while flying to attack nearby enemies.

Strictly speaking, the first Soul Bone Skill was something the bone inherently came with. It was a wing-type Soul Bone to begin with, so Xiao Tian did not really consider that a Soul Bone Skill. Only the second one, Ethereal Sword Qi, counted.

Xiao Tian walked up to a mirror and spread the Ethereal Sword Wings behind him. The nearly transparent three pairs of wings possessed a striking sense of beauty. (Reference Hai Bodong, just change the color.)

Over the following year, Xiao Tian naturally did not let Tang San and Xiao Wu off, putting them both through devilish training.

The results were quite remarkable. Tang San finally raised his Soul Power to level twenty and, with the help of Nuoding Academy's dean, obtained his second Soul Ring. Just as in the original story, it was a Ghost Vine.

However, his speed was still the slowest among the three. Xiao Tian had already reached level twenty-four, while Xiao Wu had reached level twenty-two.

For his second Soul Ring, Xiao Tian did not go to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt one. Instead, he directly absorbed the God-Bestowed Soul Ring given by the system.

Fortunately, his second Soul Skill happened to increase attack power, perfectly matching what he wanted from his second Soul Skill.

Second Soul Skill: Sword Qi Surge. Upon activation, powerful Sword Qi enveloped the blade, increasing attack power by two hundred percent.

Xiao Tian was extremely satisfied with this Soul Skill.

If he remembered correctly, Jian Daochen Xin's first Soul Skill, Unsheathing Longsword, only increased attack power by thirty percent, while his increased it by two hundred percent.

But that was normal. Chen Xin's first Soul Ring was only a hundred-year Soul Ring, while Xiao Tian's second Soul Ring was four thousand years old!

"Hey, Xiao Tian, what level are you actually at now? Why can't I still beat you? Obviously, I'm the most talented one among the three of us."

Xiao Wu's little head was filled with huge confusion.

"Tell me honestly. Did you secretly raise your cultivation above level twenty?"

Xiao Wu hugged Xiao Tian's arm with both hands and kept shaking it, trying to make him tell the truth by acting cute.

After living together for two years, the relationship between the two had grown increasingly close.

If Tang San had been standing beside them right now, he would probably have ground his molars to pieces.

Feeling the soft touch against his arm, Xiao Tian's old face reddened slightly. Those papayas and milk Xiao Wu ate over the past two years really weren't for nothing!

Xiao Tian felt rather like a father watching his daughter grow up. Hehe.

Seeing the faint blush on Xiao Tian's face, Xiao Wu gave a sly smile, secretly thinking that she still had some charm after all.

"Xiao Tian, your..."

"Xiao Wu, why don't you look at your own face? It's red like an apple."

Xiao Tian countered before Xiao Wu could finish.

"Ah? No, it isn't!"

Xiao Wu ground her little silver teeth.

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

Seeing Xiao Wu about to lose her composure, Xiao Tian smiled faintly. After two years of laying the groundwork, he felt it was about time to tell her. This was the perfect opportunity.

"Mm, you guessed right. My Soul Power Level has indeed reached level twenty, and it's even a little higher than yours. I'm already level twenty-four."

Xiao Wu fell silent.

Xiao Wu stared.

Xiao Wu spoke!

"Xiao Tian, you really weren't lying to me? Your strength has improved far too quickly, hasn't it? You've improved faster than Tang San and me, even though we both have Innate Full Soul Power."

Xiao Wu's face was filled with shock. Moreover, she had never seen Xiao Tian use a Soul Skill before. Otherwise, she would not have been so curious all this time.

Xiao Tian said lightly, "Yes, my Innate Soul Power is inferior to yours, but do you remember what I told you before?"

Xiao Wu: ???

What had he said? Why did she have no impression at all?

"Ah, that hurt!"

Xiao Wu clutched her head, not understanding why Xiao Tian had flicked her forehead.

"You really don't remember anything? I told you before that I'm taking another path to increase my Soul Power."

Only then did Xiao Wu suddenly understand. "You said that you speed up the growth of your Soul Power by constantly tempering your Sword Intent? I thought you were just fooling me. I didn't expect it to be true..."

Xiao Wu found it incredibly amazing. This was the first time she had heard that Soul Power could be increased this way.

However, Xiao Wu was not really surprised by it. It was all within reason.

No wonder Xiao Tian was either practicing swordsmanship every day or on his way to practice swordsmanship. He even slept while hugging his sword!

Back then, she had been utterly confused. Now it all made sense. Everything made sense!

The next moment, two purple Soul Rings flashed around Xiao Tian's body.

He did not plan to hide the colors of his Soul Rings either. Perhaps this could further stimulate Tang San's desire to strive harder. The faster Tang San improved, the more excited he became. Tang San was an experience baby, after all.

Once he reached level thirty, he could harvest another batch of leeks.

Xiao Tian's guess from a year ago had been correct. Once Tang San and Xiao Wu both broke through to level twenty, he could not wait to spar with them. As expected, he triggered a Critical Strike Reward!

He obtained two more God-Bestowed Soul Rings, which was why his second Soul Ring had been so extravagant. He had directly used a God-bestowed one, since he still had more anyway!

At that moment, Tang San happened to walk over. He had come to call the two of them to eat, but he saw the scene before him instead.

He walked over with a shocked and grave expression.

"Xiao Tian, you... What is going on with the Soul Rings on your body?"

Tang San felt his head buzzing.

Why were both Xiao Tian's first and second Soul Rings thousand-year Soul Rings?

According to the Soul Ring theory limits taught by his teacher, the first Soul Ring should be around four hundred years, and the second should be around eight hundred years. Yet the Soul Rings on Xiao Tian's body had directly shattered that theory!

That was right, Xiao Tian had done it deliberately. With the system's reminder, he had long known Tang San was approaching them.

Hehe.

Xiao Tian said calmly, "Let's go to Master's office. It can't be explained in just a sentence or two. Haven't you two been curious about my strength these past two years? I'll explain everything to you at once now."
