Suddenly, he carelessly stepped on a clump of Blue Silver Grass. Not thinking much of it, he simply moved his foot away. Blue Silver Grass was like the weeds from his previous life—something no one could be bothered to notice.

Then, the system's voice suddenly rang out.

Holy shit! The host has actually trampled an Eighty Thousand Year Old Blue Silver King to death, greatly shocking the system and triggering a Critical Strike Reward! Reward: The host's comprehension has increased, and Innate Soul Power has risen to Level Ten!

Xiao Tian: ???

Xiao Tian was utterly dumbfounded. Was this system really that insane?

He could not help glancing behind him. Wasn't the Blue Silver Grass he had just stepped on completely ordinary?

How could he possibly have the ability to crush a Blue Silver King to death?

Even having read plenty of webnovels in his previous life, he was still utterly confused. He had every reason to suspect that the system had seen how poor his talent was and had deliberately found an excuse to reward him!

After all, he was someone with a system. If its host was too pathetic, wouldn't the system lose face too?

Since the system was being so proactive, he would reluctantly accept the reward. Hehe, truly the type to take advantage and still act spoiled!

Blacksmith shop.

The village chief handed the longsword he had forged to Xiao Tian and said with a smile, "Xiao Tian, this is the iron sword you've always wanted. It was made from the best ore our village could obtain.

"But I was thinking, since your Martial Soul is also a sword, then this iron sword..."

Before the village chief could finish, Xiao Tian snatched the iron sword away and protectively said, "Grandpa Village Chief, since you said this iron sword was forged for me, you can't go back on your word. Not even if my Martial Soul is a sword."

"Alright, alright, I never said I wouldn't give it to you. Oh, right, Xiao Tian, can you show me your Martial Soul?"

Xiao Tian nodded and flipped his right hand. "Fifteen, come out!"

The next moment, a pitch-black longsword appeared in Xiao Tian's right hand. But Xiao Tian discovered that the rust originally covering Sword Fifteen had vanished. Could it be that the increase in his Innate Soul Power had also improved his Martial Soul's quality?

"Eh, Xiao Tian, is your Martial Soul called Sword Fifteen? What a strange name. Didn't that Lord Soul Master say it was a rusty sword? Why isn't there any rust? How strange."

Then Sword Fifteen in Xiao Tian's hand politely bowed toward the old village chief. Its blade swayed softly from side to side in a comical manner.

This left the old village chief rather shocked. After being a Soul Master and a blacksmith for so long, this was the first time he had seen such a... spiritual Martial Soul!

"Xiao Tian, your Martial Soul seems quite extraordinary. It gives me a feeling I can't quite put into words..."

The old village chief had sharp eyes. He believed Xiao Tian's Martial Soul was quite special.

And now, Xiao Tian was even more certain that his Martial Soul was likely Sword Fifteen, transformed from the Sword Spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword from his memories of his previous life!

Xiao Tian merely grinned at the old village chief without saying anything.

Very soon, three months passed.

Led by the village chief, Xiao Tian finally arrived at the entrance of Nuoding Academy.

Over the past three months, he had continued practicing swordsmanship in the back mountain every day. When his soul power was abundant, he used Sword Fifteen. When his soul power was exhausted, he used the iron sword the village chief had given him.

Moreover, perhaps due to the increase in comprehension granted by the system, he had easily cultivated Sword Intent. He could even condense Sword Qi at his fingertips and fire it out!

This took him by surprise. Other than swinging his sword, he did not know many Sword Skills. Yet he had somehow cultivated Sword Intent first. Wasn't that order a little backwards?

After looking at Xiao Tian's Work-Study Student certificate, the gatekeeper did not say much and simply let him in. Xiao Tian thought, Now this is more like it. Why would there be so many face-slapping scenes? The gatekeeper is just an ordinary person—how would he dare provoke a future Soul Master?

As expected, Xiao Tian was assigned to the Work-Study Student dormitory, Seventh Dormitory.

The moment he entered, everyone in the dormitory turned to look at him. One of them, wearing an arrogant expression, said, "You're the new student, right? My name is Wang Sheng. We in Seventh Dormitory have a rule: if you want to come in, you have to fight the dorm leader!"

The System Goes Insane Again, Sword Control Technique

Xiao Tian smiled. He could actually understand Seventh Dormitory's rule. Work-Study Students had long been oppressed by noble students, and whoever won became the dorm leader—the one who took responsibility!

Xiao Tian casually placed his iron sword and bag to the side, then said calmly, "No problem. How are we competing? Do we summon our Martial Souls?"

Wang Sheng was slightly stunned. Was this new student a little too reckless? Frowning, he said, "No need to summon Martial Souls. You probably just awakened yours, right? Let's compare hand-to-hand combat."

Xiao Tian nodded calmly. "Then let's begin!"

Two and a half minutes later, Wang Sheng was pinned to the floor by Xiao Tian.

"How was that? My hand-to-hand combat isn't too bad, right?"

Because he had practiced swordsmanship for years, his physical condition was excellent. Dealing with a Soul Master like Wang Sheng, who did not even have a Soul Ring, was effortless.

Even without using Sword Intent, he could easily handle him!

"I admit defeat!" Wang Sheng said unwillingly.

The others stared at Xiao Tian in astonishment. Someone even asked, "Xiao Tian, could your awakened Martial Soul be a Beast Martial Soul? Otherwise, why is your physique so strong?"

Xiao Tian shook his head. "No. My Martial Soul is a sword, and I have Innate Level Five soul power. I've just kept exercising since I was little, so my physical condition is better than most people's."

As he spoke, Xiao Tian pulled Wang Sheng up from beneath him, dusted him off, and smiled. "Sorry, I hit a little too hard just now. It was my first time fighting someone, so I couldn't quite control my strength."

Wang Sheng gave a bitter smile, then said, "It's fine. From now on, you're the boss of Seventh Dormitory. That's the rule we set!"

He was completely convinced by Xiao Tian's strength.

Xiao Tian smiled and accepted, but suddenly, the system's voice echoed in his mind again.

Ding! Warning! The God of Slaughter, Lord of the Douluo Star Plane Tang Hao, has been detected within a thousand meters. Host, flee immediately! The difference in your strength is far too great. Avoid putting your life in danger! Ding! Warning! God King Tang San has been detected approaching this location. Host, do not provoke Tang San's displeasure, or you will be on the Way of Seeking Death! Ding! Warning! Asura Sword Scabbard Xiao Wu has been detected approaching this location. Host, do not make excessive moves or harm Xiao Wu, or you will provoke the fury of God King Tang and be on the Way of Seeking Death! Ah, what a pitiful host. You've only just awakened your Martial Soul and already encountered so many big shots. It looks like your life is over. This system should get ready to run away~~

Xiao Tian: ???

Xiao Tian was extremely confused. After three months, why had his system started going insane again?

And at this point in time, when had Tang Hao become the Lord of the Douluo Star Plane?

Tang San and Xiao Wu were still just children. How could they possibly have God Positions?!

Just as Xiao Tian was considering the system's intentions, a thin little boy with black hair and plainly dressed clothes walked in through the doorway.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Tang San, and I'm a Work-Study Student enrolling today."

Tang San politely greeted everyone in Seventh Dormitory first.

Since it was their first meeting, he needed to leave a good impression. Besides, he was in a good mood; he had just taken a theoretical Master as his teacher.

Wang Sheng stepped forward first. "Your name is Tang San, right? Seventh Dormitory has a rule. If you want to enter, fight the dorm leader and show us what you can do."

Tang San was somewhat surprised. This rule really was strange. He said calmly, "Then who's the dorm leader? Come on."

In Tang San's eyes, they were merely a group of little brats. He possessed the Tang Sect's ultimate arts and had cultivated them to the beginner level over the past six years. He did not believe any of these people could beat him!

This was the confidence of a member of the Tang Sect!

Xiao Tian gave Tang San a faintly amused look. "My name is Xiao Tian, and I'm Seventh Dormitory's new dorm leader. We're both new students, so how about we use Martial Souls?"

Tang San said in surprise, "You're that confident? I have Innate Full Soul Power, you know?"

Wang Sheng was utterly shocked. "What! You have Innate Full Soul Power? Then your Martial Soul is...?"

None of the Work-Study Students had Innate Full Soul Power. Xiao Tian had possessed the highest Innate Soul Power among them at Innate Level Five. Now someone with Innate Level Ten had arrived. Could he have some ridiculously powerful Martial Soul?

Wang Sheng felt that the Work-Study Students were about to rise!

Tang San said impassively, "Blue Silver Grass."

Silence...

After a brief silence fell over Seventh Dormitory, loud laughter erupted.

"Hahaha! Are you sure you're not joking? Everyone knows that a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul can't possibly have Innate Soul Power above Level One!"

Tang San seemed to have expected this reaction already, but he was not angry. He simply said, "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters! So what if my Martial Soul is only Blue Silver Grass? With proper cultivation, I can still become strong!"

That was what the teacher he had just acknowledged had told him.

Xiao Tian held back his laughter. Yu Xiaogang's words had misled who knew how many people. Even after ten thousand years, only a handful of people had proven them true. Ji Juechen counted as one, while Tang Ya barely counted as half of one!

"Xiao Tian. Martial Soul: sword. Innate Soul Power Level Five. Please advise!"

Xiao Tian did not waste any more words. Sword Fifteen immediately appeared in his right hand.

"Fifteen, it's time for you to put on a good performance!"

Sword Fifteen trembled spiritedly.

Tang San noticed that Xiao Tian's Martial Soul was rather strange. It had spirituality? That seemed different from his Clear Sky Hammer. He would ask his teacher about it later. Interesting!

Tang San also revealed his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul in his right hand, then dismissed it. His Blue Silver Grass did not have a Soul Ring attached, so there was little point in using it. It was not as useful as his Tang Sect ultimate arts!

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

Tang San used a Tang Sect ultimate art, closing in on Xiao Tian with an extremely strange footwork technique.

Although Xiao Tian had prepared himself, his pupils still contracted. Fortunately, this was a dormitory, and Tang San's movement route was effectively restricted. Xiao Tian immediately had an idea!

"Fifteen!"

Sword Control Technique!

At that moment, Xiao Tian released an incomparably powerful Sword Intent. Fifteen formed several sword shadows in the air and shot straight toward Tang San!

Tang San was instantly startled. What astonishing Sword Intent! How was this possible?!

Tang San had no time to close in on Xiao Tian. He immediately used his Mysterious Jade Hand, turning both hands the color of dark jade. At incredible speed, he blocked the sword shadows rushing toward him, intending to catch the blade barehanded!

But how could Xiao Tian let such a good opportunity pass? With a single stride, he closed in. Tang San was caught off guard, and Xiao Tian's Sword Fifteen was already pressed against his throat, its cold gleam flickering!

Xiao Wu: Tang San, You're Being Kind of Cringe

"You lost," Xiao Tian said with a faint smile.

A bead of cold sweat ran down Tang San's forehead. He was filled with curiosity toward Xiao Tian and could not understand why Xiao Tian was so powerful.

Moreover, although it had only lasted for an instant, he had indeed felt the Sword Intent radiating from Xiao Tian. In his previous life, he had only seen such Sword Intent in certain powerful sword cultivators. Yet Xiao Tian was clearly just a six-year-old child who had only recently awakened his Martial Soul.

"I lost!"

Tang San said it unwillingly.

He then added, "Although I lost this time, it was only because the dormitory was too small, and I couldn't fully display my abilities. If we were in an open area, I would definitely win!"

This was Tang San's absolute confidence in his Tang Sect ultimate arts. The situation had been too sudden just now. Before he could even activate his Purple Demon Eye, Xiao Tian's sword had already been placed against his throat.

Xiao Tian did not doubt Tang San's words. He had indeed relied on the advantage of the terrain. After all, he had only been an ordinary modern person in his previous life. Other than knowing some of the plot and liking swords, he had no advantages at all. Fortunately, he had a system in this life, so he could reluctantly trade blows with Tang San!

Ding! The system is greatly shocked! The host has actually defeated God King Tang San at the Soul Master level, though it cannot be ruled out that God King Tang San was holding back! Critical Strike Reward triggered! You have obtained the martial techniques Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique and Drunken Immortal Gazing Moon Steps!

When Xiao Tian saw the two martial techniques awarded by the system, his eyes immediately lit up. Weren't these the Sword Immortal's skills?

The Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique could create multiple body phantoms, confusing opponents and even allowing for group attacks.

The Drunken Immortal Gazing Moon Steps were a Lightness Skill that could also increase one's attack speed after being used!

Though this system was a little insane, its rewards were not sloppy at all!

The next moment, information regarding the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique and Drunken Immortal Gazing Moon Steps entered his mind. With the increased comprehension he had received earlier, he instantly learned both martial techniques to the beginner realm. It would probably take only a few days to master them completely!

With that, even outdoors, he might not necessarily lose to Tang San if he relied on these two martial techniques and the Sword Control Technique he had practiced according to the memories of his previous life!

Everyone else in Seventh Dormitory was dumbfounded, especially Wang Sheng. He had never expected this year's new students to be so fierce. Tang San had already seemed incredibly powerful just now—well... even though his Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass and had not been used at all.

Xiao Tian's strength had exceeded his expectations even more. The instant he held his sword, the aura around his entire body became sharp. And didn't he have no Soul Ring?

What the hell was that Sword Control Technique just now? It looked way too cool!

"Xiao Tian, did you comprehend that Sword Control Technique yourself, or did someone teach it to you? You don't have a Soul Ring, yet you already possess a soul skill?"

Tang San asked curiously, completely unconcerned that they had only just met and that the question might be somewhat presumptuous.
