What Xiao Tian did not know was that because of his earlier thoughts, he had once again strengthened his resolve to walk the path of a Sword Cultivator. His Sword Intent was slowly growing, faintly and almost imperceptibly. This was also one of the benefits brought by his improved comprehension.
Xiao Tian was somewhat surprised by what Xiao Wu said, but he calmly replied, "Alright, then let's take a trip into the city. We can take a look around Nuoding City while we're at it."
Xiao Wu gave a firm nod, then closely followed behind Xiao Tian, completely ignoring Tang San behind them.
Tang San's mouth twitched as he gave Xiao Tian's back a somewhat somber look.
As he straightened out his bedding, he thought about Xiao Tian's actions just now.
It was strange. He always had the feeling that Xiao Tian had seen through his hidden cards. And was Xiao Tian really such a genius?
Not only could he use Soul Skills before obtaining a Soul Ring, but that Sword Control Technique at the beginning had already caught him off guard. Then, during the fight with Xiao Wu, the footwork Xiao Tian displayed was definitely a Lightness Skill!
A Lightness Skill?
Tang San's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of the Sword Intent Xiao Tian had emitted, he could not help but wonder if Xiao Tian, like himself, had transmigrated here from another plane.
Moreover, Xiao Tian had most likely been a disciple of a Sword Path sect in his previous 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 previous life, as an outer disciple assassin of the Tang Sect, it was not as though Tang San had never encountered Sword Cultivators among his targets. But most of them did not possess Sword Intent. Those who did were all renowned figures in the martial world!
However, this was only his first day meeting Xiao Tian, so he could not jump to conclusions too soon. There were several things he needed to confirm.
1. Whether Xiao Tian had been reborn into this world like him and retained the memories of his previous life. (Tang San believed himself to have been reborn, when in truth he had seized another body.)
2. If Xiao Tian was like him, whether he came from the same world as Tang San's previous life.
3. Whether Xiao Tian could become his companion. If not, then according to the Tang Sect's rules, the threat had to be eliminated as soon 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 from the Spirit Hall Branch Hall in Nuoding City? That's one Gold Soul Coin, enough for us to live on for quite a while."
Xiao Tian spoke lightly, also testing Xiao Wu's attitude.
No matter what, he was still grateful to Spirit Hall. Not only did it awaken Martial Souls for commoners free of charge, but it also provided a generous monthly subsidy.
However, when he thought of Bibi Dong's attitude toward Yu Xiaogang, he was somewhat speechless. Her obsession was nearly crazed, but that was none of his business.
Originally, Xiao Wu had been in a cheerful mood.
But after hearing Xiao Tian's words, she was no longer cheerful at all.
Her expression even turned slightly cold. "I will never go to Spirit Hall to collect any subsidy. And Spirit Hall isn't anything good either. Why do you have such a favorable impression of Spirit Hall, Xiao Tian?"
Feeling the "chill" radiating from Xiao Wu, Xiao Tian did not care much. He calmly said, "Because Spirit Hall awakened the Martial Soul of a commoner with no background like me for free, and it provides subsidies as well. That alone is enough. One should know how to be grateful, otherwise wouldn't I become an ungrateful wretch? That would do my Sword Path no good at all!
"Although I don't know why you hate Spirit Hall, I don't particularly care either. After all, we've known each other for less than a day."
Xiao Wu was slightly stunned. She had not expected Xiao Tian to say that.
Indeed, Spirit Hall had helped commoners like Xiao Tian tremendously. It was only natural for him to be grateful to Spirit Hall. She should not have imposed her own emotions on him.
She had wanted to say something, and her lips moved, but she ultimately decided against it. Indeed, she and Xiao Tian had known each other for less than a day.
However, Xiao Tian's words immediately reminded her of how, as a child, she had hidden in the grass and witnessed Bibi Dong obtain a Soul Ring and Soul Bone from her mother. Her eyes instantly reddened beyond her control, and her emotions surged up!
"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Wu, are you alright? I was just saying it casually. You don't need to cry over it."
Xiao Tian had not expected Xiao Wu to start crying just like that.
Xiao Wu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and haughtily said, "Who said I'm crying? And after we buy bedding later, I'm going to cultivate. Once I obtain my First Soul Ring, I'll come challenge you again. I'll make you sincerely call me Sister Xiao Wu!"
Xiao Wu's fighting spirit had been stirred by Xiao Tian's probing words, which surprised him somewhat.
Xiao Tian still remembered how Xiao Wu had previously claimed that after taking human form, she would cultivate diligently and seek revenge against Bibi Dong. Yet whether at Nuoding Academy or Shrek Academy, she had only focused on romance!
This was better. It would make her focus on improving her cultivation rather than Tang San. That would not bring her much benefit. In the end, she would only be reduced to a Sacrifice, offering up three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and 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 to search for her husband and was severely injured by some powerful Soul Beast.
If Bibi Dong had truly killed Xiao Wu's mother, and Xiao Wu had hidden nearby and watched everything unfold, then with Bibi Dong's Mental Power as a Titled Douluo, would she really have failed to notice a Soft Bone Rabbit in human form nearby?
One had to know that Bibi Dong possessed Twin Martial Souls, so there was no question of her being unable to absorb it. Even if she could not absorb it, she could have captured Xiao Wu and kept her captive. Yet Bibi Dong had not done so at the time. That was truly worth pondering.
[Ding! Warning! God of Slaughter Tang Hao, Lord of the Douluo Star Plane, is within a five-hundred-meter radius of the host. Please be careful! This Tongzi already told the host not to provoke Tang San and Xiao Wu. Now look what happened. You beat up the little one, and the older one came.] [This Tongzi suggests that the host secretly use that Jade Pendant to transfer away now and lie low for a while!]
Xiao Tian was instantly speechless. Instead of keeping watch over his own son, Tang Hao was watching him. No... he was probably watching Xiao Wu.
Xiao Tian could not help glancing at the battle-spirited Xiao Wu beside him, feeling a little sympathetic. Of all the small cities she could have chosen, she had to choose Nuoding City!
The key was that the Star Dou Great Forest lay across the Two Great Empires. Nuoding Academy was a long distance from the Tiandou Empire, let alone the Star Dou Great Forest.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian became somewhat curious about how Xiao Wu had crossed such a vast distance to come to Nuoding Academy. It was not as though the Tiandou Empire lacked remote little cities.
However, Xiao Tian's attention was not on that, but on how the system addressed Tang Hao.
