"Where the hell is my blanket?"
That evening, Bai Mu had just returned to the dormitory when he stared blankly at his empty bed.
"Why are you yelling so loudly?!"
A spoiled-sounding voice rang out.
Bai Mu looked toward the sound and saw a cute girl with a scorpion braid glaring at him indignantly. The blanket beside her looked awfully familiar.
He narrowed his eyes. "You stole my blanket?"
"We're dormmates. How can that be called stealing?"
Xiao Wu planted her hands on her hips and said brazenly despite having no ground to stand on, "I'm Xiao Wu, the new Boss of Dorm Seven. Your blanket looked newer, so what's wrong with borrowing it?"
"Xiao Wu?"
So she really was that troublemaking, unreasonable Rabbit Spirit!
A flicker of heat flashed through Bai Mu's eyes.
She was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form. Forget about having her willingly perform a perfect sacrifice and obtaining everything—even if he had to cruelly kill her and was left with only a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, it would still be worth it!
Unfortunately... he couldn't.
Bai Mu glanced at Tang San, who had just woken up on the bed beside Xiao Wu, and the heat in his eyes instantly cooled.
Not to mention that he couldn't beat Xiao Wu right now, even if he could, Ritien Douluo was watching from outside.
If he truly tried to kill Xiao Wu, whether he could succeed was uncertain, but he would definitely die!
Fine. He would put her on the Kill List first.
There was plenty of time. He could kill her later!
"Hey! Don't look at me like that. It's just a blanket! I'll give it back if it's such a big deal!"
Xiao Wu felt increasingly uncomfortable under Bai Mu's gaze, and her momentum weakened by several degrees.
"Haha, so you're the new Boss!
"Since Boss Xiao Wu needs it, take the blanket as a meeting gift. I'll just buy a new one later."
Bai Mu smiled casually, thinking to himself, Later, I'll use you as the return gift!
One blanket in exchange for a lifetime. Perfectly reasonable.
"Really?"
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up as she pushed her luck. "Then can I have the new one you buy?"
Bai Mu: "6!"
Dead rabbit, you have chosen the path to death!
"Hello, I'm Tang San. My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I have Innate Full Soul Power. Please advise me."
At that moment, Tang San, who had been observing for quite a while, finally spoke.
"Bai Mu. My martial soul is Zygarde, and my Soul Power is level 2. Although I'm not interested in or convinced by Grandmaster's theories, I have to admit that you've found the 'best' teacher."
Bai Mu thought, One uses his disciple as an experiment, while the other becomes a god without taking his teacher along. They're a match made in heaven!
"Thank you. I also think Grandmaster is the teacher best suited for me."
Tang San failed to catch the sarcasm in those words. Instead, his impression of Bai Mu improved somewhat.
This person seemed to truly understand Grandmaster's vast knowledge!
"Tang San, study hard under Grandmaster. Your future will definitely be pitch-black!"
Bai Mu gave him a thumbs-up and said sincerely.
Other transmigrators might have tried to warn Tang San, telling him how useless Grandmaster was and how flawed his theories were...
But Bai Mu would not.
He wished Grandmaster would cripple Tang San's development as thoroughly as possible, reducing the difficulty of killing him in the future!
"Naturally, I will study hard under my teacher."
Tang San nodded and proactively challenged him. "I heard you have endless energy. Want to have a fight?"
He had little interest in childish horseplay, but Bai Mu had repeatedly refused Grandmaster's guidance and had been called a madman by his dormmates. He must have something extraordinary about him.
He was an opponent worth fighting.
"It's getting late. Next time for sure!"
Bai Mu decisively waved him off.
"Then we'll fight another day!"
Seeing that, Tang San could not press the matter further. After eating two coarse flatbreads, Xiao Wu dragged him away under the pretense of familiarizing him with the campus.
"Looks like I'll have to work even harder from now on!"
Watching the two leave, Bai Mu silently resolved to become stronger.
But before that...
"Since things have come to this, it's time to 'sleep' first!"
He fell backward onto the bed and entered a meditative cultivation state in a sleeping posture.
Time flowed quietly like water.
One day, in a secluded corner of Notting Academy.
Nine-year-old Bai Mu sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly shut.
He pushed the Sunlight Meditation Method to its limit, crazily absorbing sunlight and energy from the outside world to strengthen his Soul Power and temper his meridians and body.
A faint glow bloomed from his body, carrying a trace of holiness. The Soul Power fluctuations around him surged violently, and his aura continued to rise.
"Now!"
Suddenly, Bai Mu's eyes snapped open. It was as though some barrier within him had shattered, and his Soul Power instantly broke through.
Soul Power, level 10!
"Wowu~"
At the same time, Zygarde's body trembled as brilliant light burst forth.
Then, a ball of light flew out of its body and transformed into a new cell!
The ninth cell had successfully split!
"Hahaha, this master has made it!"
Bai Mu leaped to his feet and laughed loudly. The calm he had maintained for years transformed into soaring ambition at that moment.
After three years of relentless cultivation day and night, the time to reap the rewards had finally come!
Once he successfully hunted a Spirit Ring, he would become a true Spirit Master!
"Wowu!"
Zygarde's excitement was impossible to conceal.
Nine Zygarde Cells, plus itself as the core, made exactly ten units!
That was enough to transform into another form!
"Xiao Ruan, let me see what your 10% form can do."
Bai Mu raised his hand and pointed ahead, shouting loudly:
"Zygarde, combine!"
"Wowu—!!!"
Zygarde let out an unprecedentedly high-pitched cry. Its core erupted with dazzling light, and an invisible summoning wave spread outward in an instant.
In the next moment, the nine cells scattered throughout the area simultaneously emitted faint resonant glows. As though they had received a supreme command, they all transformed into green streams of light and converged toward the core at astonishing speed!
"Whoosh!"
Brilliant light completely swallowed Zygarde, while powerful energy waves swept through the surroundings.
Bai Mu instinctively held his breath, staring intently at the increasingly radiant ball of light.
Several breaths later, the light gradually faded.
What appeared before Bai Mu was no longer that palm-sized, soft little core.
Instead, it was a black Dragon Dog roughly 1.2 meters tall, with a lean, powerful, and majestic form.
Its build resembled that of a Doberman. Its left front paw and the area around its mouth were green, its eyes had become glowing white hexagons, and its neck looked as though it wore a scarf studded with red gemstones.
Compared to its previous harmless appearance, Zygarde now possessed fierceness within its majesty and majesty within its fierceness.
Dragon Might faintly emanated from its body, as though it could pounce and bite an opponent at any moment!
Zygarde's 10% Form—Dragon Dog Form!
"Good! Excellent!"
Bai Mu clenched his fists tightly, his entire body trembling with excitement.
He could clearly feel that Zygarde's strength had undergone a heaven-shaking transformation.
It had gone from cells with no combat ability to a Dragon Dog that truly possessed fighting power. This was undoubtedly a qualitative leap!
"Please take care of me from now on, Xiao Ruan."
He stepped forward and reached out to stroke Zygarde's head.
"Ruff."
Zygarde affectionately rubbed against his hand, a deep and powerful sound rumbling from its throat.
"How do you feel now? Did you learn any moves?"
Bai Mu looked at Zygarde and asked curiously.
"Ruff~"
Zygarde's eyes flashed as it transmitted a stream of information into Bai Mu's mind through telepathy in the form of a panel—
