The Scheming Xiao Tian, Sweating Buckets, Aren't You, Bro?

Inside Yu Xiaogang's office.

Yu Xiaogang's brows were nearly furrowed into a figure eight, his face filled with both confusion and shock.

"Xiao Tian, can you explain what happened now? Why has your strength improved so quickly, and why are your first two Soul Rings both Thousand Year Soul Rings?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's expression brimming with curiosity, Xiao Tian chuckled. He had long wanted to trick Yu Xiaogang like this.

So he played dumb and said, "Master, it's actually all thanks to your guidance."

Yu Xiaogang: ???

What the hell?

When had I ever guided you to absorb two Thousand Year Soul Rings? How did I not know I was that impressive?

Boom!

Tang San immediately turned his doubtful gaze toward Yu Xiaogang.

What did Xiao Tian mean by that?

Could it be that his teacher had given Xiao Tian special instruction without him knowing?

As though sensing Tang San's faintly probing gaze, Yu Xiaogang felt immense pressure and hurriedly said, "Xiao Tian, stop beating around the bush. When did I ever guide you to absorb two Thousand Year Soul Rings?"

Xiao Tian laughed wickedly to himself, then hurriedly explained on the surface.

"Master, Tang San, you've both misunderstood. Master indeed never taught me to directly absorb Thousand Year Soul Rings. That was my own decision."

Whew~

For some reason, both of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Xiaogang: That's more like it. You scared me to death. I almost thought Tang Hao was going to kill me.

Tang San: That's more like it. I'm Master's only final disciple. How could Master possibly give Xiao Tian special treatment?

"But... Master, you taught me how to better use Sword Qi and Sword Intent. Do you remember something you once said? In daily life, one should cover the entire body with Sword Intent as much as possible. That would help one gain insight into the Sword Path and increase one's strength."

Yu Xiaogang: ???

Huh? Had I said something like that?

He had indeed given Xiao Tian some basic guidance, but since he was not a Sword Cultivator, he had merely shared some of his own views mixed with speculation, using Xiao Tian as an experiment to verify his theories.

Perhaps... he really had said that?

Xiao Tian had only been a six-year-old child at the time. He couldn't possibly be so scheming as to deceive him now, could he?

Thus.

Yu Xiaogang could only nod stiffly, revealing a somewhat rigid smile. "Yes, I remember. And then? Don't tell me you're saying that's why you improved so quickly?"

Tang San remained expressionless, his face like a poker face as he watched Xiao Tian and Yu Xiaogang, impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Mm, yes, yes, yes! Master, you're so smart!"

Yu Xiaogang: ...

"I followed your advice back then and continuously released Sword Intent to cover my entire body as much as possible in everyday life. Over time, I realized that I had indeed gained a deeper understanding of the Sword Path.

"Most importantly, I could feel my physical constitution continuously growing stronger, and my Soul Power cultivation speed also increased quite a bit! It seemed like improving my Sword Intent also helped improve my Soul Power."

Xiao Tian spoke with an excited expression.

"That was why I dared to take the risk of directly absorbing a Thousand Year Soul Ring as my First Soul Ring. But honestly, I was lucky. I had originally only wanted to find some three- or four-hundred-year Soul Beast to absorb, so I didn't ask the academy teachers for help. Since it was only a Hundred Year Soul Beast, it shouldn't have been a problem with my strength.

"But my luck was pretty good. Along the way, I encountered a dying, just-over-one-thousand-year-old silkworm-type Soul Beast. I remembered Master saying that silkworm-type Soul Beasts were generally weak and usually provided Soul Skills related to Soul Power, so I..."

After Xiao Tian's explanation, all three people present were dumbfounded. There was such a method?

Even Yu Xiaogang was beginning to doubt his life after seeing Xiao Tian's outrageous stunt. He had copied theor—no, researched theories his entire life, yet this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Could Jian Daochen Xin have cultivated this way too?

Yu Xiaogang felt the urge to ask, but quickly suppressed it. That man probably wouldn't even spare him a glance.

"Xiao Tian, why were you so reckless back then? Even if silkworm-type Soul Beasts are weak, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. If you failed, weren't you afraid of exploding to death?"

Tang San asked doubtfully, his eyes dark. He felt somewhat unbalanced inside.

Tang San: Why was Xiao Tian's luck so good? Why did he happen to encounter a dying silkworm-type Soul Beast? Why didn't he just explode and die while absorbing his First Soul Ring?

Xiao Tian smiled innocently. "Actually, I was somewhat confident. Didn't you say that you absorbed your First Soul Ring in only one minute?

"Before absorbing my Soul Ring, my physique should have been about the same as yours. After tempering my body with Sword Intent, I was even more confident.

"But I was indeed lucky. Absorbing that Azure Jade Silkworm took me more than half a day. Still, a Thousand Year Soul Beast truly isn't something to be underestimated."

After Xiao Tian said that, the resentment in Tang San's heart became even heavier.

Of course, it was not directed at Xiao Tian, but at Yu Xiaogang.

As his teacher, Yu Xiaogang had not tested him before he absorbed his First Soul Ring.

Now Tang San understood that he had been completely capable of absorbing a Soul Beast with a higher cultivation age back then!

Even if he could not be as lucky as Xiao Tian and absorb a Thousand Year one, he could at least have absorbed an eight- or nine-hundred-year one, right?

His Second Soul Ring had come from a roughly six-hundred-year Ghost Vine, and when he absorbed it, it had... not taken very long either.

Tang San regretted it so much his guts turned green.

"Master, don't you always tell us that there are theoretical limits to Soul Ring absorption? The First Soul Ring cannot exceed four hundred and twenty-three years, and the Second Soul Ring cannot exceed seven hundred and sixty-four years."

Xiao Wu's puzzled voice rang out.

Damn!

Xiao Tian inwardly gave Xiao Wu a thumbs-up. What a great assist!

"And you, Xiao Tian. Why didn't you call us when you obtained your First Soul Ring? Do you know how dangerous that was? And since you clearly knew that the First Soul Ring could only be a Hundred Year one, why did you risk your life trying to absorb a Thousand Year one?"

Xiao Wu was truly a little angry.

Better safe than sorry. What if Xiao Tian had truly been unlucky and died?

And he had absorbed the Soul Ring alone for more than half a day. Xiao Wu felt it was a miracle that Xiao Tian had not been discovered and eaten by other Soul Beasts!

Xiao Tian: ...

Seeing the concern on Xiao Wu's face, Xiao Tian's heart warmed slightly.

But Yu Xiaogang's expression froze. Facing the gazes of all three of them, especially that of his disciple Tang San, he was truly sweating buckets.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's expression, Xiao Tian felt thoroughly delighted. Sweating buckets, aren't you, bro!

Over the past two years, in order to fleece him, Xiao Tian had endured Yu Xiaogang's nagging from time to time—how to wield a sword, how to use one. The most ridiculous part was that he had to keep running every day!

Xiao Tian was completely speechless. What use was running anyway...

Without Cao Thief's Bloodline, Yet Inheriting Cao Thief's Will

Yu Xiaogang coughed twice before saying, "Xiao Tian, you are an exception. Generally speaking, ordinary Soul Masters find it extremely difficult even to absorb a four-hundred-year Soul Ring, much less absorb a Thousand Year Soul Ring like you.

"But this has indeed reminded me of something. Among my Ten Core Competencies, I truly did not mention factors related to physical constitution. That was because I believed that as children, you could not possibly reach that level, because... even children of sects could not!"

That last sentence was actually Yu Xiaogang's explanation to Tang San.

It was not that he had not wanted Tang San to absorb a Thousand Year Soul Ring. Tang San's physique had simply exceeded his expectations.

And what could Tang San say? If possible, he also wanted to try absorbing a Soul Ring beyond his level for his Third Soul Ring. He did not want to fall too far behind Xiao Tian. The gap was simply too great.

Soon, four years passed, and Xiao Tian's group of three were finally about to graduate from Nuoding Academy.

It was worth mentioning that during those four years.

After his strength reached Rank 30, Xiao Tian used the excuse of going out to obtain his Third Soul Ring to bid farewell to Tang San and the others.

Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu, Tang San, and the others had originally intended to go with him, but Xiao Tian refused them all without hesitation.

He had the God-Bestowed Soul Ring given by the system and had no need to hunt Soul Beasts at all. He merely wanted to use this opportunity to shake off Tang Hao and make a trip to Holy Spirit Village.

(Many readers mentioned earlier that Tang Hao doesn't know any formations, so this part has been changed~~)

Hehe.

Xiao Wu had originally sought him out in private and insisted on going with him no matter what. Left with no choice, Xiao Tian said something in an extremely serious tone.

"I have something very important to do this time, but I must do it alone. You need to stay and watch Tang San. When you decide to come clean with me, I'll naturally tell you."

Boom!

Those few short words instantly made Xiao Wu's face gradually turn pale.

Xiao Wu did not understand what Xiao Tian meant.

Come clean?

What did she have to come clean about? During the years she had spent with Xiao Tian, aside from sleeping, they had basically been together all the time. What was there that Xiao Tian did not know?

Then there was only one possibility left: Xiao Tian had seen through her identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form!

Xiao Wu was immediately confused. Xiao Tian's strength had clearly not reached that of a Titled Douluo, so how had he seen through her?

Xiao Wu released the sleeve she had been clutching.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Tian left Nuoding City directly under cover of night.

The journey was peaceful, and Xiao Tian arrived at the back mountain of Holy Spirit Village without incident. Behind a rock, he found the box containing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

In a damp cave on the back mountain, he found Blue Silver Grass marked with golden patterns. There was no need to think about it—this was Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor. Unfortunately, after her Sacrifice, she was now merely an ordinary hundred-year Blue Silver Grass.

Xiao Tian came to Ah Yin's side and crouched down. "Ah Yin, you don't want to stay in this cold, damp cave for the rest of your life, do you? Tang San and Tang Hao are both in Nuoding City. They haven't returned for years. How about I take you to reunite with them?"

Although Ah Yin's main body was now only a hundred-year Blue Silver Grass, her consciousness still existed. Seeing that Xiao Tian wanted to take her away, she immediately reacted intensely.

She continuously wrapped Blue Silver Grass around Xiao Tian's hand, trying to stop him.

Unfortunately, Blue Silver Grass was still Blue Silver Grass. Ah Yin now possessed neither attack power nor control power whatsoever.

Still, to keep Ah Yin from causing trouble inside his Soul Tool, Xiao Tian gave her a warning.

"Ah Yin, the last time Tang San and I came to Holy Spirit Village, you should have been able to sense it. I'm considered Tang San's friend now. If you stay by my side, you can keep watching Tang San. Isn't that a good thing?

"And aren't you at all curious about the unique skills Tang San possesses? Do you really think he was so gifted that he learned those Soul Skills before awakening his Martial Soul? Impossible! And do you truly think your Sacrifice to Tang Hao back then was an accident? I have to say, you've lived for tens of thousands of years for nothing. You grew a body but not a brain!"

Boom!

Ah Yin's tiny head was about to explode. Oh, no... she did not have a head now.

No!

Who exactly was this person before her?

He seemed to know a great deal about what had happened back then, and the issues he pointed out regarding Tang San and Tang Hao instantly stirred up a storm in her heart.

Those were the two things she had been unwilling to think about, yet he had exposed them directly.

Ah Yin immediately fell silent, and the movements of her grass blades stopped.

She did not sense any malice from Xiao Tian. Perhaps if she stayed by his side, she could learn the truth?

Seeing Ah Yin gently sway toward him, Xiao Tian knew that she had agreed.

However, if Xiao Tian knew what Ah Yin was thinking, he could only say: You couldn't even sense Tang Hao's malicious schemes back then, so how could you sense mine?!

Though he truly did not have any malicious intent. With the system, as long as he had enough time, he would eventually reach the pinnacle.

Rather than let Ah Yin disappear like this, why not let her take human form again and become his wife?

Though he did not have Cao Thief's bloodline.

He had inherited Cao Thief's will.

As for how to make Ah Yin give up on Tang San and Tang Hao, that would have to be planned slowly. In any case, Ah Yin could not take human form so quickly.
