Douluo: The System Arrived Ten Thousand Years Early, I Beat Tang San to a Pulp

Xiao Tian walked toward the academy lawn, his expression calm as he said, "What? Was I wrong? Do you think this kind of fight has any meaning? If we lose, we lose face. If we win, we become the boss, the big sister? Win or lose, what real benefit does it bring to our cultivation?

"If we lose, the noble students will keep causing trouble. If we win and become the boss, there may be a pile of tedious matters waiting for us afterward. With that time, I might as well practice my sword properly!"

With the memories of his previous life, he had long ceased to have the mentality of a six-year-old child. He simply could not muster any interest in such childish squabbles.

If Xiao Chenyu and the others had been stronger, they might have been of some help in improving his strength—he could have used them as stepping stones. But... Xiao Chenyu was simply too weak!

He was the son of a city lord, yet his First Soul Ring was only a ten-year Soul Ring—not even a hundred-year one. He was seriously tarnishing the image of a city lord's son!

The Narcissistic Yu Xiaogang: I Can Make an Exception and Take You as a Registered Disciple

On the academy lawn.

Xiao Tian took off his shirt, revealing the firm lines of his muscles. He picked up his Iron Sword and began swinging it with focused eyes.

"Ah! Why did you suddenly take off your clothes?!"

Xiao Wu could not help crying out. Her face flushed slightly as she covered her eyes with her small hands, though her curiosity still made her leave two narrow gaps between her fingers.

Xiao Tian smiled. "Xiao Wu, haven't you heard the phrase 'sweating like rain'?"

"Don't tell me that little head of yours is thinking about something dirty? Taking off my shirt while practicing swordsmanship lets me move more freely."

"W-Who says my head is full of dirty thoughts? I'm only six years old—what bad ideas could I possibly have?"

Xiao Wu had not expected Xiao Tian to use such a reason. She felt it was all twisted logic.

Xiao Tian was clearly the type who looked slim in clothes but muscular without them. He was obviously just a six-year-old child, yet his entire body looked so powerful.

Xiao Tian secretly laughed. What six-year-old little girl? As a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, her status among Soft Bone Rabbits was comparable to that of the Blue Silver Emperor among Blue Silver Grass. Her cultivation talent and abilities were first-rate.

Even so, Xiao Wu had to be at least tens of thousands of years old, right? And she was still pretending to be innocent here. Hahaha.

Perhaps because Xiao Wu had spent so many years in the Star Dou Great Forest, she was indeed more innocent than humans. But she had a mother who had taught her by her side. She must have received some basic instruction about those things.

Watching Xiao Tian practice his sword, Xiao Wu refused to be outdone. She sat down on the spot and began cultivating.

Though she could not openly gather Soul Power while beside Xiao Tian, she could still continue cultivating her Soul Power.

Gradually, night fell, and the sky filled with beautiful sunset clouds.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle—

After cultivating all afternoon, Xiao Wu's stomach was churning. When she opened her eyes, she found Xiao Tian still in the same posture, continuously swinging his sword. His entire upper body was drenched in sweat, gleaming beneath the sunset.

"Xiao Tian, you... you've really been swinging your sword like this the whole time? How long has it been?!"

Xiao Wu spoke in shock.

Only when Xiao Tian heard Xiao Wu's voice did he come back to himself. Just now, he seemed to have entered a certain state. No matter how he swung his sword, he did not feel tired. Amazing! It felt absolutely amazing!

"Huh? That's normal. Ever since I can remember, I've been practicing with a little Wooden Sword. I even held it while sleeping."

Xiao Tian flicked away the sweat in his hand, picked up a towel from the lawn and wiped himself down, then put his shirt back on. This greatly reduced the smell of sweat on his body, which was another benefit of practicing without his shirt.

Xiao Wu was stunned. So this was why Xiao Tian's upper-body lines looked so good. Yet as she watched him put his clothes back on, she actually felt a little reluctant?

"Come on, it's getting late. Let's eat. Your stomach is already protesting."

Xiao Tian chuckled teasingly and headed toward the cafeteria.

"Your stomach is doing the same thing..."

Xiao Wu followed close behind, muttering softly.

Unfortunately, they ran into Yu Xiaogang and Tang San on the way.

As usual, the system issued a warning at Tang San's appearance, but it had no reaction at all toward Yu Xiaogang.

"Yo, Tang San. What a coincidence."

Xiao Tian gave him a perfunctory greeting and prepared to walk past them.

But someone was unwilling to let him go.

"Wait. You're Xiao Tian, right? Xiao San said your Martial Soul possesses sentience. Can you show it to me?"

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly stopped Xiao Tian, speaking in a tone that brooked no refusal.

"Are we familiar?"

Xiao Tian's eyes were as still as an ancient well. What was this Yu Xiaogang trying to do?

Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened slightly. Just as Tang San had said, Xiao Tian did not seem easy to get along with.

Tang San frowned, a trace of displeasure flashing through his eyes. "Xiao Tian, is that how you speak to my teacher?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the disciple who had rushed to defend him and nodded approvingly. Then he waved his hand. "No matter. It's normal that Xiao Tian does not know me."

Then Yu Xiaogang revealed what he considered a very kind smile. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yu Xiaogang, the continent's foremost theoretical Master. You are the second person I have seen whose Martial Soul possesses sentience. I am quite interested in this, and I hope you can display your Martial Soul."

"If it truly possesses sentience, then even if your Innate Soul Power is only Innate Level Five, I can make an exception and accept you as a registered disciple. What do you say? I do not accept just anyone. Xiao San is currently my only closed-door disciple, and he will remain my only closed-door disciple."

Xiao Tian: ???

What the hell, man?

Are you sick?

Xiao Tian suspected Yu Xiaogang had a serious narcissism problem. Was being the continent's foremost theoretical Master really that impressive?

He was nothing more than a joke!

Xiao Tian said, "Oh."

Xiao Tian ignored him outright and headed straight for the cafeteria.

Seriously, he had practiced swordsmanship all afternoon. He was starving to death now.

If you aren't proactive about eating, there's something wrong with your thinking!

Xiao Wu gave the two of them an indifferent glance and quickly followed Xiao Tian. She could more or less understand why Xiao Tian had that attitude, because she was the same—she was hungry!

Did these two not know what the cafeteria was for?

Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened once more. He could no longer maintain his kind expression, and intense dissatisfaction rose in his heart.

"Stop! Xiao Tian, what kind of attitude is that?"

Tang San said coldly, his eyes turning frosty.

Xiao Tian stopped walking, feeling somewhat helpless. He wanted to keep a low profile, but they simply would not let him. His eyes lowered slightly, and a faint Sword Intent unconsciously emanated from his body.

Warning! Warning! Tang Hao is nearby. Host, please do not make any excessive moves. Keep a low profile! Keep a low profile! This Tongzi does not want to change hosts so soon and affect my performance!

Tang San immediately watched Xiao Tian warily. Xiao Tian's aura had changed!

"Hey, you so-called Master, aren't you annoying! Do you know what time it is? We're on the way to the cafeteria! If we go any later, there won't be any food left. Did you have to keep asking questions right now?"

Before Xiao Tian could turn around, Xiao Wu erupted first. This Master, just like Tang San, was really irritating!

After saying that, Xiao Wu immediately grabbed Xiao Tian's hand and ran toward the cafeteria.

Because Yu Xiaogang and Tang San had held them up, there was barely anyone left on the road. They had already been late heading to the cafeteria.

For the sake of her dinner, Xiao Wu could not care about anything else. She grabbed Xiao Tian's hand and ran toward the cafeteria.

Xiao Tian was also slightly stunned. Looking at Xiao Wu pulling him along, he said, "Huh, Xiao Wu, shouldn't you dislike me a little? You actually spoke up for me?"

After running for a short distance, Xiao Wu released Xiao Tian's hand. Her face was slightly red as she calmed her breathing, then asked in confusion, "When did I ever say I disliked you?"

Xiao Wu: My Mom Said Papaya Helps You Sleep!

Xiao Tian froze slightly. "Huh? My intuition. Look, not only did I beat you in our fight today, I also said a lot of things that went against your views, like about Spirit Hall..."

Xiao Wu fell silent for a moment before speaking. "That's true, but first of all, you beat me fairly in the fight... although you were a little shameless in the middle!

"And after thinking carefully about what you said, I think you made a lot of sense. We really should focus on cultivating right now. It's better not to concern ourselves with all those troublesome matters. As for Spirit Hall, I'll reserve my judgment..."

Then Xiao Wu smiled slyly. "But Xiao Tian, I'm not really interested in those trivial matters either. What interests me most is being the big sister. But now I know you're probably much stronger than that Xiao Chenyu, even though your Soul Power is still lower than mine.

"How about this? You can't just practice your sword all the time. Why don't we have some actual combat training now and then? If I win, you'll have to call me Sister Xiao Wu. How about it?"

Xiao Tian could not help smiling. "Then what if you lose?"

Xiao Wu raised her chin, her face full of confidence. "I won't lose next time. If I do, you can do whatever you want to me!"

"Oh? Really, whatever I want?"

Xiao Tian wore a teasing smile as his eyes slowly swept over Xiao Wu's entire body. Then he said with some regret, "Forget it. I'm not interested in a little loli like you. No chest, no legs."

In an instant, Xiao Wu's face turned crimson with embarrassment, and she instinctively kicked at Xiao Tian's waist!

"You bastard, Xiao Tian! You're the one talking about me? What kind of dirty nonsense is in your head?! I'm still growing! What child at this age has what you're talking about?! I've realized that sometimes, you seriously go crazy while keeping a straight face. Pervert!"

"Tsk, tsk. You get angry just because I told the truth. Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Sparring with you isn't impossible, but you'd better be ready to get your butt spanked like today at any time. And since it's actual combat, you can't cry if you get hurt!"

Xiao Tian reacted quickly and easily caught the little foot Xiao Wu kicked at him.

"Hehe, if you're weak, practice more! Alright, we're at the cafeteria. I'm not arguing with you anymore. Time to eat!"

Xiao Wu: ...

Xiao Wu felt that she was getting angry out of embarrassment. Xiao Tian was quite handsome, and his body was nice too, but it was a pity he had such a mouth!

Do all sword practitioners speak so bluntly?

Unconsciously, Xiao Wu lowered her head and looked at her somewhat flat chest, seeing all the way down to her feet.

"Xiao Tian, buy me some papaya later. My mom said it helps you sleep!"

Xiao Wu said through gritted teeth.

Pfft!

Xiao Tian truly could not hold back his laughter. You actually came up with that excuse!

"Sure, no problem. Oh, right, papaya is best with milk, hahahaha! Oh, and consider the money a debt you owe me."

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San remained where they were, both feeling rather disordered.

They exchanged glances. Yu Xiaogang sighed. "Ahem, it really is time to eat. Let's go too."

Yu Xiaogang stood there for a long while before finally squeezing out those words, finding himself a way to save face.

But his mood was truly unpleasant. He greatly disliked Xiao Tian's attitude!

Of course, the reason he had planned to make an exception and accept Xiao Tian as a registered disciple was only because of Xiao Tian's Martial Soul.

After all these years, other than his Luo Sanpao, Xiao Tian was the second person he knew of whose Martial Soul possessed sentience. It had sparked his intense interest!

Moreover, according to Tang San, Xiao Tian's Martial Soul was an Iron Sword that looked completely ordinary. Yet it still had Innate Level Five Soul Power, which Yu Xiaogang found unbelievable!

How could an ordinary Iron Sword Martial Soul possibly have Innate Level Five Soul Power?

After all, his Luo Sanpao had only given him half a level of Soul Power!

Even if his Martial Soul looked somewhat ugly, it still possessed True Dragon Bloodline!

And Yu Xiaogang had never once doubted that it was not his Martial Soul that was lacking—it was himself.

What trash Soul Rings had he paired with Luo Sanpao?

Martial Souls possessing Dragon Clan bloodlines generally were not weak. But because of this, there was an unspoken rule on the continent: it was best to hunt Soul Beasts with Dragon Clan bloodlines for their Soul Rings!

This was the consensus among all Soul Masters with dragon-type Martial Souls across the continent, yet Yu Xiaogang insisted on going against convention!

He had forcibly raised Luo Sanpao into uselessness. Who else could he blame?

"Teacher, do you really plan to accept Xiao Tian as your disciple?"

Tang San asked curiously.
