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

To be honest, his impression of Xiao Tian was not very good.

Originally, he had thought that since he had been reborn into this world with everything he had learned from the Tang Sect in his previous life, even if he could not fight above his level here, he should at least be invincible among those of the same rank!

But his very first battle in this life had just ended in defeat, and he had lost to Xiao Tian, whose Innate Soul Power was only Level Five. That truly left him feeling a little unbalanced!

Secondly, for some reason, seeing Xiao Wu get so close to Xiao Tian made him feel somewhat stifled.

Yu Xiaogang looked in the direction where Xiao Tian had already vanished from his sight and said blandly, "He isn't my disciple, only a nominal disciple in name alone. I'm merely interested in his Martial Soul. With his Innate Level Five Soul Power, he still isn't worthy of becoming my disciple. In this life, I will have only one final disciple, and that is you, Tang San!"

Yu Xiaogang laughed inwardly. Tang San's talent was the strongest he had ever seen besides Bibi Dong, and his Second Martial Soul was even the Clear Sky Hammer. In his view, the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul alone was far stronger than Bibi Dong's Spider Emperor Martial Soul.

He could already picture it now: in the later stages, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul would be equipped with Soul Rings that were at least ten-thousand-year ones, and together with the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques, even Bibi Dong would not be enough to stand against him!

He heard that Xiao Tian had used his Martial Soul to defeat Tang San today?

He did not care at all. It was perfectly normal for Xiao Tian's Martial Soul to have a slight advantage right now, but once he brought Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest tomorrow to obtain the First Soul Ring for his Blue Silver Grass, Xiao Tian's abilities would never let him get anywhere near Tang San!

This was the formidable aspect of Control System Martial Souls. Even ordinary Blue Silver Grass was a natural counter to an Assault System type like Xiao Tian!

After all, a Sword Cultivator... as long as his sword was controlled, he himself would pose no threat, unlike a Beast Martial Soul owner, who might still break free of control with a full-power burst!

Chen Xin: Are you sure?

Moreover, Tang San possessed a powerful background—Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect. If he wanted Tang San to test his theories, he had to be cautious and ask Tang San's opinion.

But as for Xiao Tian, he was only a six-year-old child. Did he know how to absorb Soul Rings? Did he understand that much knowledge about Soul Beasts?

In the end, wouldn't he only be able to obediently listen to him? Then he would have a good experimental subject!

It was just that today's first meeting had become somewhat unpleasant. That was something he had not expected...

P.S.: We've reached twenty thousand words. Starting tomorrow, it's the trial run. Brothers, please keep following along these next few days. I kneel in thanks~~

Double Standard Sword Fifteen

Early the next morning.

Tang San got up early to absorb some of the purple qi of the early morning, then quietly packed a little luggage and went to find Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang was going to take him to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his First Soul Ring.

Only after Tang San left the dormitory did Xiao Tian suddenly open his eyes. First, he looked at the door, then at Xiao Wu, who was still sleeping beside him.

Clap, clap, clap!

Clap, clap, clap!

Xiao Tian gently patted Xiao Wu's delicate cheek, so soft it seemed it could be broken by a puff of air. It was tender, and in the end, he still could not help pinching it twice and giving it a little rub.

"Hurry up and get up. The sun's shining on your butt! Didn't you say you were going to cultivate properly? The morning is the most important part of the day. Get up already!"

"It's time to eat!"

Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes drowsily and said somewhat indistinctly, "Huh? It's time to eat? Is it that late already?"

The moment Xiao Wu heard there was food, even her little ears twitched.

Xiao Tian smiled helplessly. Last night, she had even said she would get up before him to cultivate, but in the end, she was still sleeping at this hour.

Xiao Tian looked at the sun that had already risen outside.

Xiao Wu got up very reluctantly, washed up briefly, then followed Xiao Tian outside.

Hm?

Why had he not heard the system's warning today?

"System, check whether Tang Hao is nearby."

Ding. Host, God of Slaughter Tang Hao is not nearby.

The corner of Xiao Tian's mouth lifted slightly. His Mental Power was not high right now, but he could just use this Scumbag System to detect whether Tang Hao was nearby.

Tang Hao had probably followed Tang San and Yu Xiaogang from far away, secretly protecting Tang San.

In other words, in the original work, even if Tang San had not exposed his Hidden Weapons, Tang Hao most likely would still have stepped in to save him.

Originally, he had still been wondering whether Tang Hao would ignore Tang San and instead monitor Xiao Wu near the academy.

But thinking about it now, this was only normal. Xiao Wu did not know her identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had been discovered, and since she had already enrolled, there was a high chance she would not run.

As for Tang San's side, Yu Xiaogang was truly stubborn. He himself had basically no combat strength, yet he actually did not ask anyone else for help and brought Tang San alone to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt Soul Beasts. Wasn't that just courting death?

Thinking of how Yu Xiaogang had turned the Golden Sacred Dragon's infant form into a pig that only knew how to fart, he found it funny. Someone like that deserved to be called a theoretical Master?

Most likely, if any Soul Master who did not understand theory very well possessed such a Martial Soul, even if their Innate Soul Power was low to begin with, as long as there was truly hope for improvement, they would definitely do everything possible to absorb a Soul Beast close to their own limit and within their ability to hunt as their Soul Ring!

However... not everyone had a background like Yu Xiaogang's. With an innate half-level, being able to rise to level twenty-nine was already a miracle!

Since Tang Hao was secretly protecting Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, he could start taking action on his side too.

After all, he had already reached Level Ten Soul Power as well. It was time to look for a Soul Ring suitable for himself.

Although he could keep accumulating Soul Power even without absorbing a Soul Ring for the time being, absorbing a Soul Ring could improve all his attributes, and his cultivation speed would be relatively faster.

Besides, only after absorbing a Soul Ring could his total Soul Power increase. He had many Sword Skills that required a continuous expenditure of Soul Power, so his total Soul Power was extremely important to him!

It was decided. Tomorrow morning, first thing, he would head to another nearby Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his First Soul Ring!

For the first hour, Xiao Tian practiced his sword swings and other moves as usual.

Right after that, Xiao Tian set the Iron Sword aside and summoned his Martial Soul Sword Fifteen.

Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Tian in some confusion, not knowing what he was trying to do.

"Fifteen, today we're going to practice a new move: Sword Control Flight! Can you use your own strength to help me fly?"

Xiao Tian made a wildly unrealistic request.

Clang~~

Fifteen's entire sword body suddenly went limp, and the sword tip, as if it had a mind of its own, faced Xiao Tian and swayed left and right.

Sword Fifteen: I can't do it!

Xiao Wu could not help saying, "Xiao Tian, I've been wanting to ask this before. This Martial Soul of yours feels very spiritual, but... isn't that request a little too much? Fifteen is just a sword. If you want him to carry you, wouldn't that still need Soul Power to support it?"

Xiao Tian smiled and said, "My Martial Soul is rather special and possesses a certain degree of spirituality. I'd rather call it a Wisdom Martial Soul, or you can think of it as my Sword Martial Soul having a Sword Spirit. But... are you sure my request is too much?"

Xiao Tian looked at the limp Fifteen, and his eyes suddenly turned.

"Fifteen, are you sure you won't try? Look at Xiao Wu beside me. Her figure isn't much, but her face is pretty nice, right? Although she's got a bit of baby fat. How about you take her for a spin?"

Ding!

Fifteen, which had been lying limp, instantly returned to normal. The entire sword left Xiao Tian's hand and moved in front of Xiao Wu.

Xiao Tian: ...

Xiao Tian was truly speechless. Fifteen really did have that doglike personality. As long as the other party was a beauty, the whole sword's attitude would make a one-eighty. Couldn't it treat him, its master, a little better?

It really was Sword. Double Standard. Fifteen!

Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Tian hesitantly. To be honest, she was still a little afraid.

Even if Fifteen really could carry her through the air, if there was the slightest mishap and she fell from up high, she would probably be going to see her mother.

Xiao Tian glared fiercely at Sword Fifteen below and waved his hand. "You can try standing on it. Have Fifteen stay just a few centimeters off the ground and carry you around at low altitude."

Seeing that Xiao Tian was not angry, Xiao Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Fifteen was willing to carry her but "unwilling" to carry Xiao Tian. That made Xiao Wu feel strange, because no matter what, a Martial Soul should be completely controlled by its owner.

What Xiao Wu did not know was that if even the slightest trace of displeasure had risen in Xiao Tian's heart, Sword Fifteen would never have been able to do such a thing. The reason it had come over to Xiao Wu now was, in large part, actually because of the hint in Xiao Tian's words.

After that, Xiao Wu tentatively stepped both feet onto Sword Fifteen's body and worked hard to keep her balance, while Sword Fifteen carried her slowly around the lawn.

As for Xiao Tian, he felt his Soul Power consumption suddenly speed up by quite a bit. Sure enough... this damn thing was not consuming Fifteen's power, but his Soul Power!

However, Xiao Wu only experienced it for a short while. She was still somewhat unused to it.

Afterward, under Xiao Tian's control, Fifteen was forced back beneath Xiao Tian's feet. Next, it was his turn to give it a try!

Xiao Tian pressed the index and middle fingers of his right hand together, and a burst of Sword Intent abruptly appeared, pointing toward Fifteen below. Fifteen's Sword Body became much sharper, its blade wrapped in a faint layer of Sword Intent.

Xiao Tian planned to use Sword Intent to reduce the consumption of Soul Power. He did not know whether this counted as pure imagination running wild, but in his previous life, whether he watched TV dramas or anything else, the people who used Sword Control Flight always had their sword bodies shrouded in a faint layer of energy. Perhaps this was also one of the reasons Sword Control Flight looked so cool.

Warning! Fifty-thousand-year Azure Jade Silkworm King discovered!

Whoosh!

Xiao Tian leapt onto Fifteen's Sword Body in one motion and directly poured in half of his Soul Power. Then something astonishing happened. Fifteen... grew larger!

The entire Sword Body instantly grew three or four times larger!

"Fifteen!"

With a thought from Xiao Tian, Fifteen changed to a suitable size. As for the excess Soul Power, it was stored inside Fifteen's Sword Body to serve as fuel for Sword Control Flight.

Boom!

The next moment, under Xiao Wu's shocked gaze, Xiao Tian really flew. Not only that, he flew straight into midair, circled around in an extremely cool manner, then quickly landed.

"So... so cool!"

A different light shone in Xiao Wu's eyes. Compared with Xiao Tian's Sword Control Flight, she felt that what she had done just now had been like playing house.

After landing, Xiao Tian put Fifteen away and nodded in satisfaction. He had not expected to succeed on his first try. Not bad at all!

Also, when he had been testing Sword Control Flight just now, he had discovered something: he could inject part of his Soul Power into Fifteen and use it as fuel for Fifteen's free movement.

This discovery made Xiao Tian exceptionally delighted. He just did not know how much Soul Power Fifteen itself could store. Wouldn't this be equivalent to him having an extra supply of Soul Power?

It was similar to the effect of the Milk Bottle Soul Tool in Douluo II.

Once an enemy thought his Soul Power was exhausted, he could have Fifteen pretend to disappear, then wait for the right opportunity to suddenly reappear and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy!

After hearing Xiao Wu's praise, Xiao Tian smiled as well. "How about it? Want me to take you flying?"

Xiao Wu said hesitantly, "We won't fall, will we?"

Xiao Wu was a little afraid that Xiao Tian might run out of Soul Power halfway through the flight. Wouldn't that mean the two of them could only die together?

That was more than a little abnormal...

"Hahaha, it's fine. We're just going to experience it a little..."

Soon, night fell again. While Xiao Wu was asleep, Xiao Tian crept out of the room on tiptoe.

The main reason was that he had been getting rather close to Xiao Wu lately, but he also couldn't very well explain why his cultivation speed was so fast. Besides, they had only known each other for a few days, so Xiao Tian felt there was no need to explain.

Leaving in the middle of the night would let him avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After Xiao Tian left the city, he headed in the opposite direction from the Soul Hunting Forest Yu Xiaogang and the others had gone to.

Along the way, Xiao Tian ran while charging Fifteen. He wanted to see just how much of his Soul Power Fifteen could withstand.

Before long, Fifteen Sword Body began trembling violently, as if saying, I'm full, really full! If you put in any more, it's going to overflow! I really can't eat anymore!

Xiao Tian calculated silently. Not bad. At present, Fifteen could store almost an entire Level Ten Soul Power's worth of his energy. After he obtained a Soul Ring and all his attributes improved, it should be able to hold even more.

Gradually, after Xiao Tian had traveled for several hours, the sky slowly brightened, and he saw the shadow of the Soul Hunting Forest in the distance.

However, he was in no hurry to enter. Instead, he found a small teahouse nearby, ordered some tea, and recovered his condition.

This was still his first time coming into contact with soul beasts. Although he had seen plenty in his previous life, that was ultimately just armchair knowledge and couldn't be taken seriously. He could only hope he wouldn't make any mistakes later.

Meanwhile, at Nuoding Academy's Seventh Dormitory.

Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes and looked at the bed beside her.

Hm? Where did Xiao Tian go? Don't tell me he went off to cultivate behind her back?

What a tryhard!
