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

Everyone's gaze fell on Tang San and the bedding, except for Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian merely glanced at Tang San and Xiao Wu before slowly heading toward the door. He had not brought bedding or pillows when he came, only some clothes and his identification documents.

"Xiao Tian, are you going out?"

Xiao Wu had originally been staring at Tang San's bedding, lost in thought. But when she noticed Xiao Tian leaving, she immediately snapped back to her senses.

Xiao Tian said flatly, "I'm going out to buy bedding. What else would I be doing? What about you? You can't be planning to sleep without anything tonight, can you?"

Wang Sheng and the others eagerly chimed in, trying to curry favor. "Sister Xiao Wu, if you don't have bedding, you can use ours!"

Xiao Wu looked at the thin, somewhat dirty bedding on Wang Sheng and the others' beds. It was nowhere near as good as Tang San's, and a trace of disdain unconsciously appeared on her face.

Tang San, standing nearby, seemed to notice Xiao Wu's expression. A few guesses surfaced in his mind, and his heart began beating faster. Could it be...?

"Xiao Tian, perfect. I need bedding too. I'll go out with you."

Who would have thought Xiao Wu would say that instead?

Xiao Tian was somewhat surprised as well. He had no interest in such a little girl at the moment. Besides, Xiao Wu, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, had probably already caught Tang Hao's attention outside the academy. With his current strength, it was better to keep a low profile and develop quietly.

Who knew Xiao Wu would refuse to follow the plot? Had she... been beaten into submission by him?

Xiao Tian casually replied, "Oh."

Xiao Wu immediately followed after him, irritated. "What do you mean, 'oh'? Can't you speak properly?"

"And when we buy the bedding, can you pay for mine first? I'll pay you back as soon as I earn money from work."

As she said the second sentence, Xiao Wu's voice gradually lowered. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, clearly embarrassed.

She really had been eyeing Tang San's bedding just now. It looked large enough that she had considered pushing two beds together, drawing a boundary line down the middle, and sharing the blanket.

But then she remembered Tang San's creepy behavior earlier. Her impulsive thought instantly cooled down, and she turned her attention to Xiao Tian instead.

At least Xiao Tian gave her a pretty good impression. Tang San, on the other hand... how should she put it? He looked obedient and calm enough, but after Xiao Tian's reminder, she seemed to notice a faint trace of depth—or perhaps gloom—beneath Tang San's calm eyes.

She did not know whether her feelings were right. After all, she had only just entered human society. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, she never needed to think about so many things. So she decided to follow her heart. It was only a new set of bedding; it should not cost much.

Still, Xiao Tian's attitude annoyed her. It was far worse than how he had treated her during their sparring match.

Little did Xiao Wu know that Xiao Tian simply did not want to get too involved with her right now. Who knew whether Tang Hao would kill him outright if he saw them acting too intimate?

Although the system had given him means to save his life, he still wanted to live peacefully for a few more years.

Besides, women would only affect the speed at which he drew his sword. This was not the time to think about romance. He was only six years old. Rather than waste time on that, he might as well practice his swordsmanship more. He had finally obtained a sword and a system—shouldn't he make proper use of them?

The System Was Acting a Little Strange Toward Tang Hao?

What Xiao Tian did not know was that, because of his thoughts just now, his resolve to walk the path of the Sword Cultivator had strengthened once more. His Sword Intent was slowly increasing, faintly but surely. This was another benefit brought by his improved comprehension.

Xiao Tian was somewhat surprised by Xiao Wu's words, but he still calmly said, "Fine. Then let's take a trip into the city. We can look around Nuoding City while we're at it."

Xiao Wu gave a firm nod, then closely followed behind Xiao Tian without paying any attention to Tang San behind them.

Tang San's mouth twitched as he stared at Xiao Tian's back with slightly darkened eyes.

While arranging his bedding, he thought about Xiao Tian's actions earlier.

It was strange. He always felt as though Xiao Tian had seen through all his hidden cards. And was Xiao Tian really such a genius?

Before even obtaining a Soul Ring, Xiao Tian could already use Soul Skills. The Sword Control Technique at the beginning had already surprised him, but the footwork Xiao Tian used against Xiao Wu afterward was definitely a Lightness Skill!

A Lightness Skill?

Tang San's heart skipped a beat. Then he remembered the Sword Intent Xiao Tian had released, and he could not help but speculate: could Xiao Tian, like him, have transmigrated here from another plane?

Moreover, Xiao Tian had most likely been a disciple of a Sword Path sect in his past life. That was why his understanding of the sword was so profound, allowing him to cultivate Sword Intent at only six years old!

In his past life, Tang San had been an outer disciple assassin of the Tang Sect. Some of his targets had been Sword Cultivators, but most had not possessed Sword Intent. Those who did were all famous figures in the martial world!

However, today was only his first day meeting Xiao Tian, so he could not draw conclusions too early. There were still several things he needed to confirm.

1. Whether Xiao Tian, like him, had been reborn into this world and retained memories of his past life. Tang San believed himself to have been reborn, but he had actually committed Body Seizure.

2. If Xiao Tian was like him, whether they had come from the same world in their previous lives.

3. Whether Xiao Tian could become his companion. If not, according to the Tang Sect's rules, any threat had to be eliminated as quickly as possible!

"Say, Xiao Wu, you already have Innate Full Soul Power. Once you obtain your First Soul Ring in a few days, won't you be able to collect the Spirit Master Subsidy at Nuoding City's Spirit Hall Branch Hall? That's one Gold Soul Coin, enough for us to live on for quite a while."

Xiao Tian spoke calmly, testing Xiao Wu's attitude at the same time.

No matter what, he was grateful to Spirit Hall. Not only did it help commoners awaken their Martial Souls for free, but it also provided a considerable monthly subsidy.

But whenever he thought of Bibi Dong's attitude toward Yu Xiaogang, he felt speechless. Her obsession was practically insane. Still, that was none of his business.

Xiao Wu had been in a cheerful mood.

But after hearing Xiao Tian's words, she was no longer cheerful at all.

Her face even turned slightly cold. "I'll never go to Spirit Hall to collect subsidies. And Spirit Hall isn't anything good either. Why do you have such a favorable impression of Spirit Hall, Xiao Tian?"

Xiao Tian sensed the "chill" radiating from Xiao Wu, but he did not care much. He answered with a calm expression, "Because Spirit Hall helped a commoner like me, someone without any background, awaken my Martial Soul for free. It also gives out subsidies. That alone is enough. People should know gratitude. Otherwise, wouldn't I be an ungrateful wretch? That would not benefit my Sword Path at all!

"Although I don't know why you hate Spirit Hall, I don't really care. After all... we've known each other for less than a day."

Xiao Wu froze slightly. She had not expected Xiao Tian to say that.

Indeed, Spirit Hall had helped commoners like Xiao Tian greatly. It was only natural that Xiao Tian would be grateful to Spirit Hall. She should not have projected her own emotions onto him.

Her lips moved as though she wanted to say something, but she ultimately decided against it. It was true—they had known each other for less than a day.

However, Xiao Tian's words immediately reminded her of the scene from her childhood, when she hid in the grass and watched Bibi Dong obtain a Soul Ring and Soul Bone from her mother. Her eyes instantly reddened beyond her control, and her emotions surged.

"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Wu, are you okay? I was just saying it casually. You don't need to cry over it."

Xiao Tian had not expected Xiao Wu to start crying over this...

Xiao Wu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and huffily said, "Who said I'm crying? And after we buy the bedding, I'm going to cultivate. Once I get my First Soul Ring, I'll spar with you again. I'll make you call me Sister Xiao Wu wholeheartedly!"

Xiao Wu's fighting spirit had been stirred up by Xiao Tian's probing words, which surprised him somewhat.

Xiao Tian still remembered how Xiao Wu had once said she would cultivate diligently after taking human form and seek revenge against Bibi Dong. Yet whether at Nuoding Academy or Shrek Academy, she had only cared about romance!

This was better. She should focus all her attention on cultivation rather than Tang San. That would not benefit her much; in the end, she would only be reduced to making a Sacrifice and giving away three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings along with Soul Bones.

However, Xiao Tian remembered that Xiao Wu's mother had not been killed by Bibi Dong. Rather, she had gone to the Land of Great Evil in search of her husband, only to be seriously injured by some powerful Spirit Beast.

If Bibi Dong had truly killed Xiao Wu's mother, and Xiao Wu had watched everything from nearby, would Bibi Dong, with the Mental Power of a Titled Douluo, have failed to notice a Soft Bone Rabbit that had taken human form nearby?

Bibi Dong possessed Twin Martial Souls. There was no possibility that she could not absorb it. Even if she could not, she could have captured Xiao Wu and kept her imprisoned. Yet Bibi Dong had not done so at the time, which was worth pondering.

Ding! Warning! God of Slaughter Tang Hao, Lord of the Douluo Star Plane, is within five hundred meters of the host. Please be careful! This Tongzi told the host earlier not to provoke Tang San and Xiao Wu. Now look what happened: you hit the little one, and the old one came.

This Tongzi suggests that the host secretly use that Jade Pendant to relocate now. Develop quietly for a while!

Xiao Tian was instantly speechless. Why was Tang Hao watching him instead of his own son? No... he was probably watching Xiao Wu.

Xiao Tian could not help glancing at the highly motivated Xiao Wu beside him, feeling a little sorry for her. Of all the small cities she could have chosen, why did she have to choose Nuoding City?

The key was that the Star Dou Great Forest stretched across the Two Great Empires, and Nuoding Academy was a long distance from the Tiandou Empire, let alone the Star Dou Great Forest.

When he suddenly thought of that, Xiao Tian became curious about how Xiao Wu had crossed such a great distance to reach Nuoding Academy. The Tiandou Empire did not lack remote small cities.

But Xiao Tian's attention was not on that. It was on what the system called Tang Hao...

With Time Spent Fighting, You Might As Well Cultivate Properly!

The system's title for Tang Hao was God of Slaughter, Lord of the Douluo Star Plane.

God of Slaughter was understandable. More than twenty years later, after Tang San became a god, he would let Tang Hao inherit the Second-rank Deity position of God of Slaughter. Tang Hao also possessed Divine Slaughter's Domain, so it was reasonable for the system to call him God of Slaughter now.

But calling Tang Hao the Lord of the Douluo Star Plane seemed a little excessive, didn't it?

Tang Hao would only become the Lord of the Douluo Star Plane ten thousand years later!

Then there were the system's titles for Tang San and Xiao Wu. Those gave Xiao Tian a certain suspicion.

But for now, he had encountered too few people to be completely certain. He needed to observe more...

After purchasing everything, it was already noon. Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu ate outside before returning. Naturally, Xiao Tian paid.

On the way back, Xiao Tian finally could not resist asking, "Xiao Wu, can I ask where your home is? Why don't you even have a single Copper Soul Coin on you...?"

Xiao Wu's expression immediately stiffened. Her eyes darted around as she looked at her surroundings. "Um... my home is very far away. Actually, I don't eat much. I ate wild fruits and carrots and things like that along the way..."

"Then why didn't you choose an academy closer to home? Don't they accept Work-Study Students there?"

Xiao Tian raised another question. In truth, this had puzzled him for quite some time.

Xiao Wu: ...

"What's with you? You're so annoying. I'll tell you later."

Xiao Wu said this somewhat huffily, then quickened her pace and walked ahead.

In truth, she did not know why she had come somewhere so far away either. Just as Xiao Tian had said, there were plenty of small cities between the Star Dou Great Forest and Nuoding City. As a Spirit Beast in human form, no one below the level of Titled Douluo could see through her. Titled Douluo were generally in major cities—how could she run into one so easily?

Xiao Tian silently watched Xiao Wu's back and followed behind her, thinking about what he should do next.

Practicing the sword was naturally a daily compulsory task. But now, he also had several additional training projects: he needed to cultivate the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique and Drunken Immortal Gazing Moon Steps to the Mastery realm as soon as possible.

However, before that, there was something he had wanted to do ever since awakening Sword Fifteen: Sword Control Flight!

Through his efforts over the three months before entering the academy, he had learned the Sword Control Technique himself. Now, he could try using it as a foundation to see whether he could achieve Sword Control Flight. It would be even better if he could make Fifteen "relieve itself anywhere"!

And it was time to settle his First Soul Ring as well.

But now that the system had improved his comprehension, and the Crazy System occasionally gave him Sword Skills and such, it meant that any Soul Ring would do for him.

Considering how much Soul Power he needed when first using Sword Skills, Xiao Tian decided that his First Soul Ring would be related to amplifying Soul Power.

However, it had only been three months since he awakened his Martial Soul. No matter how hard he cultivated, he could not possibly reach level ten that quickly. So Xiao Tian planned to head alone to a nearby Spirit Beast Forest and hunt!

If anyone discovered it later, he could simply say that he was extraordinarily talented and could accelerate his Soul Power cultivation through cultivating Sword Intent. In any case, that fake Master Yu Xiaogang would definitely not see through anything. He might even become interested and never suspect him at all.

When they returned to the academy, Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu found that only Wang Sheng and a few others were in the Seventh Dormitory. Tang San had probably already gone to Yu Xiaogang.

Xiao Tian did not care much. After placing the bedding on his bed, he picked up his Iron Sword and turned to leave the dormitory.

"Hey, Xiao Tian, you're going out again right after getting back?" Wang Sheng asked in confusion.

"Practicing the sword!"

Xiao Tian looked at Wang Sheng and the others before calmly saying, "Let me give you some advice. We're commoners to begin with. Now that we have Soul Power and can cultivate properly, we should train desperately instead of fighting with those noble students."

Wang Sheng and the others were slightly stunned.

Wang Sheng said somewhat unhappily, "It's not like us Work-Study Students want this. Those noble students are always the ones causing trouble! We have no choice..."

Xiao Tian shook his head. "Then we should cultivate even harder. Also, now that the three of us have joined, you can spread the news that Xiao Wu and Tang San both have Innate Full Soul Power. You can also vaguely reveal that Tang San has taken Master as his teacher."

Master was, after all, a renowned theorist throughout the continent. Tang San had already reached level ten, so Master would definitely take him to obtain his First Soul Ring in the next few days. Among the noble sixth-year students, who had the highest Soul Power Level? What level was he?"

After Xiao Tian's barrage of words, Wang Sheng could only blankly answer, "It's Xiao Chenyu. Level eleven."

"Exactly. If that still doesn't work, go find the headmaster! He wouldn't want two promising commoner talents to clash with noble students either, would he? If the headmaster steps in and says a few words, Xiao Chenyu and the others will probably settle down. Besides, Tang San has Master backing him..."

Heh. Although Xiao Chenyu and the others did not know Yu Xiaogang's background, everyone in the academy knew he was the headmaster's friend. And Xiao Chenyu's father was, after all, the lord of Nuoding City.

Yu Xiaogang might have been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but he was still publicly known as the continent's greatest theoretical Master. He was not someone a mere city lord could compare himself to.

Wang Sheng and the others exchanged looks, their faces full of helplessness. Still, Xiao Tian's words made some sense. They could give it a try!

If they could avoid fighting, they would rather do so. They had come to the academy to cultivate and study, not to brawl!

Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Tian's back, then thoughtfully chased after him.

"Hey, Xiao Tian, wait for me. Why did you say that just now?"

Xiao Wu asked with a frown.
