The system referred to Tang Hao as the God of Killing, the Lord of the Douluo Star Plane.
God of Killing was understandable. More than twenty years later, after Tang San became a god, he would have Tang Hao inherit the Second-rank Deity position of the God of Killing. Tang Hao also possessed Divine Slaughter's Domain, so it was reasonable for the system to call him the God of Killing now.
But calling Tang Hao the Lord of the Douluo Star Plane—wasn't that a little excessive?
Tang Hao would only become the Lord of the Douluo Star Plane ten thousand years later, after all.
And there were also the system's forms of address for Tang San and Xiao Wu, which gave Xiao Tian a certain suspicion.
But for now, he had encountered far too few characters to confirm it completely. He needed to observe more.
After buying everything, it was already noon. Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu ate outside before heading back. Of course, Xiao Tian paid.
On the way back, Xiao Tian finally could not help 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 gaze drifted around as she looked at the surroundings. "Um... my home is very far from here. I actually don't eat much. I ate wild fruits and carrots and things like that all the way here..."
"Then why didn't you choose an academy closer to home? Don't they accept Work-Study Students there?"
Xiao Tian tossed out another question. This had actually troubled her for quite some time.
Xiao Wu: ...
"What? You're so annoying. I'll tell you later."
Xiao Wu said this somewhat haughtily, then stepped ahead.
Actually, she did not know why she had come somewhere so far away either. Just as Xiao Tian had said, there were small cities between the Star Dou Great Forest and Nuoding City. With her identity as a spirit beast, no one below the level of Titled Douluo could see through her. Titled Douluo were generally in the major cities, so how could she possibly run into one so easily?
Xiao Tian watched Xiao Wu's back without saying anything and followed behind her, thinking about what he should do next.
Practicing swordsmanship was naturally a daily compulsory course, but he now had some additional training goals: reach mastery in the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique and Drunken Immortal Gazing Moon Steps as soon as possible.
However, before that, there was something he had wanted to do ever since awakening Sword Fifteen: Sword Control Flight!
Thanks to his efforts over the three months before entering the academy, he had taught himself the Sword Control Technique. Now, he could try using it as a foundation for Sword Control Flight. It would be even better if he could make Fifteen "relieve itself anywhere"!
And it was time for him to settle the matter of his First Soul Ring.
But now that the system had improved his comprehension, and this Crazy System occasionally gave him Sword Skills and the like, it meant that any Soul Ring would do for him.
Considering that using Sword Skills at the beginning required a huge amount of Soul Power, Xiao Tian decided that his First Soul Ring would be related to amplifying Soul Power.
However, he had only awakened his martial soul three months ago. No matter how hard he cultivated, he could not possibly reach level ten so quickly. So Xiao Tian planned to head alone to a nearby Spirit Beast Forest to hunt!
As for being discovered later, he was simply exceptionally talented and could accelerate his Soul Power cultivation by cultivating Sword Intent. That fake Master Yu Xiaogang definitely would not be able to see through anything. He might even become interested and would not suspect him at all.
When they returned to the academy, Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu discovered that only Wang Sheng and a few others were in the Seventh Dormitory. Tang San had probably already gone to Yu Xiaogang's place.
Xiao Tian did not care much about that. After placing his bedding on his bed, he picked up his Iron Sword and turned to leave the dormitory.
"Hey, Xiao Tian, you just got back and you're going out again?" Wang Sheng asked in confusion.
"Practicing swordsmanship!"
Xiao Tian glanced at Wang Sheng and the others, then said calmly, "Here's some advice for you. We were born commoners. Now that we have Soul Power and can cultivate properly, we should train with everything we have instead of fighting 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 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 is at least a famous theorist across the continent. Tang San is already level ten, so Master will definitely take him to obtain his First Soul Ring within the next few days. Among the sixth-year noble students, who has the highest Soul Power Level? What level is he?"
After Xiao Tian's string of words, Wang Sheng could only reply blankly, "It's Xiao Chenyu, level eleven."
"Exactly. If that still doesn't work, go find the headmaster! He won't want two promising commoner students clashing with the noble students either, right? If the headmaster steps in and says a few words, Xiao Chenyu and the others will probably settle down. Besides, Tang San has Master behind him."
Heh, although Xiao Chenyu and the others did not know Yu Xiaogang's background, everyone in the academy knew that he was the headmaster's friend. And Xiao Chenyu's father was, after all, the lord of Nuoding City.
Yu Xiaogang was, at least publicly, the continent's foremost theoretical master. Even though he had been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was not someone a mere city lord could afford to provoke.
Wang Sheng and the others looked at one another, 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 did not want to fight either. They had come to the academy to cultivate and learn, not to brawl!
Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Tian's retreating figure, then thoughtfully chased after him.
"Hey, Xiao Tian, wait for me. Why did you say that just now?"
Xiao Wu frowned as she spoke.
Xiao Tian walked toward the academy lawn, his expression calm. "What? Was I wrong? Do you think this kind of fighting has any meaning? If you lose, you embarrass yourselves. If you win, you become the boss, the big sister? Whether you win or lose, does it bring any real benefit to our cultivation?
"If you lose, the noble students will keep causing trouble. If you win and become the boss, there may be a pile of tedious matters waiting afterward. With that time, I'd rather practice my swordsmanship properly!"
With memories from his previous life, his mentality had long since ceased to be that of a six-year-old. He truly had no interest in this childish make-believe fighting.
If Xiao Chenyu and the others had been a little stronger, they might have helped improve his strength and served 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 lowering the prestige of being a city lord's son!
