Xiao Wu: If Only Rabbits Could Be Planted in the Soil!

Tang San felt a little bewildered.

Just because his name contained the character "San," he had directly been reduced to Third Brother.

There was no problem with Brother Lu being the Big Brother, but how could Xiao Wu be the Second Sister?

Just as he was about to voice his opinion, Lu Duzhou continued:

"Xiao San, Xiao Wu's Martial Soul is a rabbit, which happens to restrain your Blue Silver Grass."

"You gave me the positions of Boss and Dorm Leader, so I have to fight the newly arrived Work-Study Student."

"I have no combat power at all, so naturally I'm no match for Xiao Wu, a Level Ten Soul Scholar with a Beast Martial Soul."

"Therefore, she is Seventh Dormitory's new Dorm Leader and new Boss."

"By this rule, you should call her Xiao Wu Jie."

"Now that Xiao Wu is your Second Sister, you should understand, right?"

Within Tang San's six-year-old body resided an adult soul, so he naturally sorted out the whole chain of events.

It had to be said, it was perfectly reasonable.

He had given up the positions of Dorm Leader and Boss himself. Now that they had fallen into Xiao Wu's hands, he should accept it.

He nodded.

Lu Duzhou turned to Wang Sheng and the others and said:

"Greet your new Boss, Xiao Wu."

Wang Sheng still took the lead as they shouted together:

"Xiao Wu Jie!"

When Xiao Wu heard that she was being made the Boss and addressed as "Xiao Wu Jie," she immediately tossed the slight unhappiness of becoming the "Second Sister" to the back of her mind.

She nodded cheerfully and said:

"Good! From now on, Xiao Wu Jie will look after you!"

Lu Duzhou spoke up at this point:

"Xiao Wu, you're also a Work-Study Student. You probably didn't bring any bedding, right?"

"I was just about to take Xiao San to buy bedding. Come with us, and I'll buy yours too."

Hearing that Lu Duzhou wanted to buy her things, the joy of being cared for made Xiao Wu completely acknowledge him as her Big Brother.

"Thank you!"

"No need to thank me. Since you recognize me as your Big Brother, it's only right that I take care of you."

As Lu Duzhou spoke, he took Xiao Wu and Tang San by the wrists, one on each side, and led them out of the academy.

He did not take them straight to buy bedding. It was just lunchtime, so after leaving the dormitory, he first brought them to a restaurant for a meal.

Xiao Wu ate with great relish, her cheeks puffed up like a Little Rabbit's as she chewed nonstop.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Tang San asked in surprise:

"Brother Lu, you're also a Work-Study Student. How are you so rich?"

He had finally asked the question!

Lu Duzhou smiled.

"Of course, I earned it."

Xiao Wu and Tang San both looked at him curiously.

"My Martial Soul is One Acre of Land."

Lu Duzhou paused before revealing the answer.

"Plant-type Martial Souls receive a boost to Cultivation Speed when planted in my land."

"Therefore, all those wealthy children are my clients."

"They pay a daily fee for every day they plant themselves in my Martial Soul."

"It's equivalent to them leasing my Martial Soul as a place for their Martial Souls to reside. The minimum lease is ten days, and monthly packages come with a discount."

"As my Soul Power Level rises, the boost to Cultivation Speed will also increase, and the Lease Price will go up as well."

"So I'm not short on money."

Tang San said in shock:

"It can actually boost Cultivation Speed! My Martial Soul is Plant-type too. Can I do it as well?"

Lu Duzhou nodded.

"Of course, but you have Innate Full Soul Power. My Soul Power is far lower than yours, so the boost will probably be very limited."

"But it will still have some effect."

"The current Lease Price is one Copper Soul Coin per day. Since you're my Third Brother, I won't charge you."

Xiao Wu asked in confusion:

"But everyone only has one Martial Soul. If they leave it with you, won't they no longer have a Martial Soul themselves?"

Lu Duzhou shook his head.

"What they plant in my land is only a Martial Soul Projection, not their true Martial Soul."

"There is a connection between the Martial Soul and its Martial Soul Projection. The current effect is that while they cultivate, the Martial Soul Projection also absorbs Soul Power and feeds it back to them, allowing them to gain some additional Soul Power Growth."

Xiao Wu exclaimed in amazement:

"That sounds incredible! Doesn't that mean it's like having two of yourself cultivating together?"

"Ah! Why can only plants be planted? If only rabbits could be planted in the soil!"

Lu Duzhou smiled and rubbed Xiao Wu's head.

"Silly Younger Sister, if you put rabbits in the ground, that wouldn't be planting. That would be burying them alive."

Tang San laughed at that as well.

Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks and shook her head.

"Hmph! I'm not stupid!"

Lu Duzhou withdrew his hand, looked at Tang San, and brought up another matter.

"Xiao San, your Soul Power is already level ten. Logically speaking, you could graduate from the Junior Soul Master Academy at this level."

"Your most urgent task now isn't learning anything, but hunting a Soul Beast to obtain your first Soul Ring and become a One-Ring Soul Master. Only then can you continue raising your Soul Power Level."

"A Soul Master's most important thing is Soul Power Level."

Xiao Wu paused in the middle of eating and blurted out:

"Big Brother Lu, do Soul Beasts have to be hunted?"

Before Lu Duzhou could answer, Tang San said:

"Of course. Without hunting Soul Beasts, there are no Soul Rings. Without Soul Rings, Soul Power cannot continue to increase."

Lu Duzhou added:

"Xiao Wu, as your Big Brother, the first thing I'll teach you is survival of the fittest."

"In this world, wolves eat rabbits, rabbits eat grass, Soul Beasts eat people, and people hunt Soul Beasts."

"All of this is the Basic Principle of the ecosystem."

"This instinct for survival has nothing to do with good or evil. There is no right or wrong."

"Even if humans did not hunt Soul Beasts, Soul Beasts would still slaughter one another madly to make themselves stronger."

"On the contrary, if humans can hunt some powerful Soul Beasts, weaker Soul Beasts will face a little less pressure to survive."

"Take your Soft Bone Charming Rabbit Martial Soul, for example."

"Once humans stop hunting their natural enemies, Soul Beasts such as Eagle-type and Snake-type Soul Beasts, the numbers of Soft Bone Charming Rabbits at the very bottom of this Food Chain will sharply decline."

"They might even go extinct!"

Upon hearing that last sentence, Xiao Wu seemed to be startled by something and cried out.

"Ah! No!"

Lu Duzhou stroked her head again and smiled.

"Don't be afraid. You're not a Little Rabbit."

"Besides, you have your Big Brother and your Third Brother to protect you!"

This time, Xiao Wu did not shake off Lu Duzhou's hand. Instead, she moved a little closer to him.

"Big Brother, I understand what you said."

"Thank you."

Although she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had taken human form, she had not actually lived for a hundred thousand years. Her Mental Age was really only that of a Child.

Her understanding and Worldview could be reshaped.

Lu Duzhou's words had given her a new understanding of this world.

Watching the two of them act so intimately, Tang San inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable inside.

He quickly interjected and asked:

"Big Brother, then how do I obtain my Soul Ring? And what kind of Soul Ring should I absorb?"

Lu Duzhou pondered for a moment and said:

"As for obtaining a Soul Ring, you can ask the Dean for help. This is also an obligation the academy should fulfill."

"As for what kind of Soul Ring you should absorb, logically speaking, you should ask the Teachers for their opinions."

"If you ask me, there are two directions."
