Yu Xiaogang: Tang San, You've Truly Disappointed Me! (Request for Continued Reading, Request Monthly Ticket)

Hearing Lu Duzhou's scolding and seeing Tang San's dejected expression,

Xiao Wu could not help bursting into laughter. But as she laughed so hard her body shook, it tugged at the flesh on her buttocks, making her bare her teeth in pain.

After all, Lu Duzhou had really hit her just now!

Every slap had produced a crisp sound. Tang San could testify to that.

She, Xiao Wu, a mighty Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, had actually had her buttocks spanked by a level-three Human Soul Master.

It was simply a tremendous humiliation.

Yet she did not feel the slightest resentment. Instead, she felt more touched by Lu Duzhou's concern for her, along with a trace of shyness.

Lu Duzhou gave a light cough.

"All right, I'll pay for the table. After all, you're my Younger Brother!"

"Xiao San, this Soul Skill of yours is indeed quite good."

"The key is that it isn't merely a release of Soul Power, but a type of enhancement effect."

"This means that once the sharpness and toughness of your Blue Silver Grass improve, and your Soul Power Level rises, the power of this Soul Skill will rise along with them."

"As far as I know, many Soul Masters' low-level Soul Skills become utterly useless once they reach higher levels."

"But your Soul Skill directly targets the source. That is the benefit brought by enhancing the source itself."

Tang San nodded forcefully and said in agreement,

"Big Brother, you're right."

"This Soul Ring has also made my perception of my Martial Soul much clearer."

"I'll follow this path from now on!"

Lu Duzhou gave a grunt and looked at Xiao Wu.

"What Soul Skill did this little rabbit of yours obtain?"

Xiao Wu said proudly,

"I was lucky enough to come across a dying Hundred-Year Soul Beast. My first Soul Skill is called Waist Bow."

"It can instantly increase my waist strength by one hundred percent and my flexibility by fifty percent. After Soul Power level ten, every additional level increases the enhancement effect of Waist Bow by one percent when used."

Lu Duzhou frowned upon hearing this and said in a deep voice,

"Xiao Wu, this Soul Skill of yours can increase basic attributes by a percentage, so it is a decent Soul Skill."

"However, your Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit. Compared with the possessors of other Beast Martial Souls, you have no advantage in terms of strength."

"You should take the path of an Agility Attack Type Soul Master. What you need to increase most is explosive power, speed, and armor-piercing ability, not so-called waist strength and flexibility."

"Sigh, this is partly my fault too."

"That day, I was only thinking about analyzing Xiao San's Martial Soul. I thought that with Dean Bruno accompanying you, choosing a Soul Ring for your Beast Martial Soul would not be troublesome."

"I never expected you to go and casually hunt a Hundred-Year Soul Beast by yourself."

Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately said excitedly,

"Big Brother, it's not your fault. Xiao Wu Jie made the decision on her own and even risked hunting a Soul Beast herself. Not only did she choose the wrong Soul Skill, she also made us worry."

"If you ask me, this punishment was still far too light."

"You should spank her a hundred times every day for an entire month!"

Xiao Wu shouted angrily at Tang San,

"You hateful Xiao San! Are you trying to make my buttocks blossom from being beaten?!"

She also felt somewhat wronged inside.

After all, she was not a Human Soul Master.

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, her Soul Skills condensed on their own. She still did not know how to control them.

Lu Duzhou smiled and stepped forward, rubbing Xiao Wu's head.

"All right, don't worry. The punishment won't change."

"Let this one go. Just be more careful next time."

"Otherwise, the punishment will definitely be more severe next time."

At this point, he turned to look at Tang San.

"Xiao San, I think that self-created Soul Skill you used just now could be combined with Xiao Wu's first Soul Skill."

"With the waist strength and flexibility enhanced by her first Soul Skill, if she threw things like you did, even a small pebble should be able to unleash considerable power."

"Of course, every person's self-created Soul Skill is their own secret and wealth. I will not force you to teach it to Xiao Wu."

"We are brothers and sister. Teach her whenever you want to."

With things put that way, if Tang San refused to teach her, it would feel as though he had let down their brotherly bond.

But he did not know how to bring it up.

After all, he was originally a traitor of the Tang Sect. If he were to pass the Tang Sect Secret Arts on to someone else now, it would only make him feel even more guilty.

Lu Duzhou had not expected him to make a decision immediately.

Xiao Wu merely gave a soft snort.

"Hmph, I don't want to learn his Soul Skill. I can figure it out myself."

"Big Brother, I believe you can definitely create a similar Soul Skill too. I'll learn from you then."

Lu Duzhou nodded and directly changed the subject.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao San, you are both One-Ring Soul Masters now. You have already met the graduation requirements for a Junior Soul Master Academy."

"What are your plans next? Are you going to an Intermediate Soul Master Academy?"

Tang San scratched his head.

"But we just enrolled. Are we graduating already?"

Xiao Wu hugged Lu Duzhou's arm and coquettishly said,

"I don't want to be separated from Big Brother!"

Lu Duzhou stroked her Rabbit Ears. Xiao Wu's face reddened slightly, but she did not dodge away.

"Graduating right after enrolling really would not be ideal."

"For talented Soul Masters like you, there is not much difference between a junior academy and an intermediate academy. What you need most urgently is to raise your own Soul Power Level."

"Other than that, everything else is a waste of time."

"But once you are older and your strength has improved, you will need to attend a High-Rank Soul Master Academy."

"After all, on one hand, we need powerful instructors to help us obtain high-level Soul Rings. I heard that most High-Rank Soul Master Academies have Soul Douluos stationed there."

At the words "Soul Douluo," Xiao Wu's body stiffened slightly.

When a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast took human form, Soul Masters at the Soul Douluo level or above might discover her true identity if they observed carefully!

She could not attend such a High-Rank Soul Master Academy.

Lu Duzhou noticed her reaction but did not expose it.

He continued,

"On the other hand, High-Rank Soul Master Academies have Simulated Training Grounds, which provide cultivation enhancements for Soul Masters."

"Lastly, we need the protection of the strong, as well as some reliable and promising friends."

"A High-Rank Soul Master Academy is a force in itself. With one as our backing, Commoner Soul Masters like us will have the confidence to face Nobles like Yu Xiaogang."

Tang San nodded.

"Then once our strength improves, we'll go to a High-Rank Soul Master Academy together."

Lu Duzhou said,

"We're here. This is the library. Once the students get out of class, they may come here to read. This isn't a place to talk. Let's return to the dormitory!"

The three had just walked out of the library when they ran into Yu Xiaogang head-on.

Upon seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu, his little mustache twitched.

"Tang San, I heard from Bruno that you obtained a Plant Type Soul Ring?"

"You've truly disappointed me!"

"Your waste Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, can only display combat power by following the poison path."

"The best target to absorb is a Viper Soul Beast. Only an Animal Soul Beast can provide greater enhancement to your Blue Silver Grass."

"This is one of my Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul theories!"

"Not taking me as your master will be the greatest mistake of your life."

"If you regret it now, I can still give you one chance."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang act like this, Tang San truly wanted to unleash the Storm Pear Blossom Needle right at his face.

But remembering Lu Duzhou's earlier warning, he could only force himself to endure it.

Still, he secretly swore in his heart, This man has already embarked upon the Path to Death!
