When he heard Tang San had driven them away, Jade Little Sister felt much better.
Of course. Her little brother was impressive.
To become a great Spirit Master, strength wasn't enough. You needed talent, understanding, and wisdom.
Jade Little Sister had always known Tang San was exceptionally talented and wise.
If he ranked second, then no one in the Douluo Continent could rank first.
Tang San reassured him. "Don't worry, Old Man. I'll definitely clear your name for you."
"Oh, I trust you." Jade Little Sister nodded, then began imagining the beautiful days ahead.
With Tang San's help, Jade Little Sister happily went back to sleep.
Watching the two of them leave, Tang Qinghe smiled to himself. Jade Little Sister, Jade Little Sister... I hope you enjoy that Mother-Child River Water.
Of course, it'd be even better if Tang San drank some too.
Tang San helped Jade Little Sister back to his room and laid him on the bed.
"You're finally back. Old Man, get some rest. Don't worry about that mess with Tang Qinghe. Eat well and take care of yourself. If anything happens, just tell me, your little brother."
Jade Little Sister nodded silently, but he still felt somewhat apologetic about what Tang Qinghe had done.
Tang San rubbed his hands together. "Xiao Wu, you copied the third row from the left on the second shelf of my bookshelf and took the second book. That book contains the Spirit Essence cultivation method I've researched for years. I couldn't teach you before, but now you should cultivate properly."
"Yes." Looking at Tang San's earnest expression, Xiao Wu's heart warmed. At the same time, she couldn't help feeling a little envious of Jade Little Sister's "wisdom."
To have "researched" his way to this point—how much effort must her old man have put in?
Of course, the so-called Spirit Essence cultivation method couldn't possibly compare with Tang San's Tang Sect's Purple Demon Eye.
"Old Man, I'll leave the water here. If you're thirsty, drink it yourself."
Tang San put the book away, poured Jade Little Sister a glass of water, and set it beside the bed.
"Oh, right. I almost forgot. In a while, remember to go to the Spirit Hall in Jedi City and register your Spirit Essence. Once you have your Spirit Essence badge, you won't have to keep working odd jobs. You'll have more time to cultivate."
Tang San nodded and left Jade Little Sister's room.
After he left, Jade Little Sister sat up and stared at the glass of water on the bedside table.
By the time he drank it, the embryo inside him had quietly taken shape.
Just as Jade Little Sister drank the Mother-Child River Water, Tang Qinghe finished washing up in the dormitory. He changed his clothes and headed to the dining hall for breakfast.
Xiao Wu suddenly rushed out of the dormitory. "Tang Qinghe, you bastard! Last time, you made this young lady limp for days. I've only just recovered, and now I'm going to make you pay!"
"Sure."
Before Xiao Wu could react, Tang Qinghe's right palm bent back. A golden light flashed across it as he used the heaven-shaking, net-catching technique and slapped her on the forehead.
Tang Qinghe's sudden attack caught Xiao Wu completely off guard. She had always been the one to get the jump on her opponents, who could never react in time. Today, someone had actually turned the tables on her.
After leaving Jade Little Sister's room, Tang San returned to the dormitory, washed up, and went out to see his Spirit Essence. He happened to witness the scene.
He was caught completely by surprise.
Tang Qinghe's seemingly ordinary move was actually an exceptionally advanced grappling technique—one of the best moves Tang San had ever seen.
Even though this was his first time encountering it, he was still shocked. He couldn't imagine that such a powerful grappling technique existed in this world.
As Tang San pondered, Xiao Wu had already realized what was happening. She leapt up and kicked at Tang Qinghe's neck.
Tang Qinghe had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye and the Mysterious Heaven Skill, so Xiao Wu's counterattack moved slowly in his eyes. It posed no threat at all.
With a flash, he dodged Xiao Wu's kick, grabbed her right ankle, and gave it a firm tug.
Xiao Wu cried out in pain. Her body lost its balance, and she was thrown to the ground.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng and the others were stunned once again. Tang Qinghe was still Tang Qinghe. Xiao Wu was certainly strong, but she was nowhere near a match for him.
With his knee pinning down Xiao Wu's back and his right hand pressing on her head, Tang Qinghe kept her from moving. He said calmly, "You got cocky again."
"You bastard! I'm not convinced! You don't have any manners! I was going to let you make the first move, but you attacked me before I even called out! That's a cheap trick!"
Pinned beneath Tang Qinghe, Xiao Wu's cries of pain were pitiful.
[Xiao Wu's resentment +2888]
[Xiao Wu's resentment +4888]
She'd actually been the one who made the first move, and now she still had the nerve to claim she'd let him go first. Tang Qinghe couldn't help thinking that this rabbit really didn't know what shame was. He prodded Xiao Wu, then retorted, "Last time, you attacked me first. You even called out your move afterward!"
Xiao Wu's eyes darted around. She had called out her move last time, but only after she'd attacked first.
But how could she admit that to this little brat?
"I don't care! Today, I'm going to challenge you as a Spirit Master. You got lucky. From now on, you have to call me Sister Xiao Wu." Xiao Wu rubbed her aching waist and pointed at Tang Qinghe.
"If you lose, I'll call you Flowing Rabbit from now on," Tang Qinghe said.
[Xiao Wu's resentment +8888]
Flowing Rabbit?
Xiao Wu's eyes turned red with fury. Her resentment surged as she released her Spirit.
"Spirit Master Xiao Wu, one year of odd jobs, Spirit Beast Rabbit, twelve years of cultivation. Please advise me."
As she spoke, a faint pink glow rose from Xiao Wu's body. She transformed into a humanoid rabbit, and a ring of yellow light appeared beneath her feet. It was the distinctive sign of a Spirit Beast.
"Tang Qinghe, Spirit Master. Tiger, four years of cultivation. Please advise me."
A faint yellow light shone from Tang Qinghe's body. This was the first time he'd released his Spirit in front of people. Since he hadn't obtained a Spirit Essence, his Spirit had no ring attached to it, and his height didn't change. Only a yellow shadow appeared behind him.
"A hundred-year Spirit Essence." Wang Sheng and the others gasped.
No one had expected Xiao Wu to go out once and come back with a Spirit Essence—and a hundred-year one, at that.
Only Old Man Tang had four Spirit Rings. Now even the Spirit attached to his martial soul had come out. This was going to be a real spectacle.
Amid the commotion, all the students, including Tang San, focused intently on Tang Qinghe and Xiao Wu.
Just as Tang Qinghe was about to make his move, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Tang San looked at the Spirit Essence attached to Xiao Wu and felt a little stunned. He hadn't expected that after going to the Spirit Hall, Xiao Wu would actually obtain a Spirit Essence too.
At this rate, Tang Qinghe might no longer be Xiao Wu's match.
"Make your move."
Tang Qinghe looked at Xiao Wu, now transformed into a Spirit Master, without the slightest fear. If she were any other Spirit Master, with their strength so far apart, Tang Qinghe might have felt apprehensive.
But Xiao Wu had only recently become a Spirit Master. As for close combat, he really had nothing to fear.
Besides, he knew Xiao Wu's first Spirit Skill—Waist Skill—like the back of his hand.
"Tang Qinghe, today I'll show you that I'm the boss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Xiao Wu finished speaking and immediately charged.
