Wang Dong'er looked at her third Martial Soul, the Trident, her expression complicated. She had a pretty good idea which deity had targeted her.
In the original story, the Trident had been formed from Tang San's divine sense.
But this one had been directly written into existence by Bai Mo.
Three years ago, he could even write Tang San's Martial Soul into existence, let alone a little Dong'er!
The reason, naturally, was that he wanted to see the future showdown between Wang Dong'er and Tang Yuhao over the real and fake Tridents. Of course, that was for much later.
Wang Dong'er's current strength might not be enough to defeat Tang San in the first Douluo Continent story.
So next, Bai Mo still needed to give Wang Dong'er a boost.
Later on, Bai Mo would raise the levels of Wang Dong'er's Soul Rings to the limit she could withstand, and give her an Immortal Herb.
For now, the other students at Red Branch still relied on Immortal Herbs to provide their Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
This brought us to the Symbiotic Contract slots that would be sold later.
That's right! He was going to sell slots!
The Symbiotic Contract had already been tested on Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts three years ago.
With Ms. Herta's intelligence, why would they need to wait this long?
So, over the past three years, it had been further improved.
The Soul Beasts had been strengthened.
After reaching the required level, Soul Masters could summon a contract by chanting, and obtain a Soul Beast from the Simulated Universe.
(Of course, some lucky ones might directly connect to True Number Space and gain the allegiance of an intelligent Soul Beast.)
After a Soul Master died, their Soul Beast would automatically be transported back to its corresponding area in the Emperor Scepter.
That was how Soul Masters all over the world would work for Bai Mo.
Of course, this also avoided the tragedy in the original story where Soul Spirits were passed down for generations, remaining behind even after their Masters had died.
Anyway, that was a digression.
The point was that the other students' bodies couldn't yet withstand Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, so for now, they had to make do with ones granted by Immortal Herbs.
As for the newly arrived Wang Dong'er, Bai Mo didn't want to go all out raising her just yet.
So he might as well directly edit her data and max everything out!
If not for the sake of her foundation and reserves, Bai Mo could have simply boosted her to level 99.999!
Although Bai Mo's level was low right now, a single breath of energy he obtained from chaos was enough to rival that of several Titled Douluo.
Wang Dong'er came to her senses, still dazed, and realized that the white energy emanating from Bai Mo's body had made her feel wonderfully comfortable.
"How do you feel? I've repaired your soul, and while I was at it, I loaded you with a divine Martial Soul to make getting your revenge easier later."
"What do you need me to do?"
Wang Dong'er bit her lip and asked timidly.
"What do you think you can do for me? Just live well. A young girl should act like one."
Bai Mo smiled and patted Wang Dong'er on the shoulder, then took her straight back to the Crown Prince Mansion.
"Bai Mo~"
Wu Feng immediately wrapped both legs around Bai Mo's waist, her skirt riding up to reveal a tantalizing sight.
Bai Mo habitually reached for her little bottom.
Ning Tian tugged her skirt back down.
Even though everyone present was a girl.
Then Ning Tian glanced at Wang Dong'er behind Bai Mo, her expression complicated.
She could naturally tell that the way the girl looked at Bai Mo had changed.
"Uncle Bai, I've already contacted Skywater Academy and Blazing Fire Academy. They're both very interested in collaborating."
"Skywater Academy wants Wang Dong'er, Nan Qiuchiu, Gu Qiu'er, and Jiang Nannan."
"Blazing Fire Academy wants Jiang Nannan, Wu Feng, Gu Qiu'er, and Nan Qiuchiu."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Qian Renxue said with a smile.
Bai Mo nodded. He could understand their thinking.
Skywater Academy's picks meant they didn't want anyone with a fire affinity.
Blazing Fire Academy's picks meant they didn't want any weaklings.
(Wang Dong'er: ???)
"Did you tell them everyone's Soul Power levels?" Ning Tian asked curiously. She didn't want to compete, especially since her Martial Soul was the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, which had ties to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"I did, but they were all skeptical. This list is just an initial idea; we'll discuss the details after meeting with them."
Qian Renxue explained.
"Have Nannan take Dong'er and Qiu'er to Skywater."
"Wu Feng and Qiuqiu can go to Blazing Fire."
Bai Mo thought it over before speaking.
Jiang Nannan was mainly there to look after Dong'er, while he thought Qiu'er would pair better with Dong'er.
That would leave Blazing Fire with a slightly weaker team.
But that was fine! Tonight, he could give Wu Feng a Second Martial Soul, and then they'd have a fighting chance!
"Quite the confident prediction, Uncle Bai~"
Qian Renxue pouted, her red lips curling into an amused smile.
"Bet on it! Skywater and Blazing Fire are sure to take first and second place, with Shrek in third!"
Qian Renxue furrowed her brows, not understanding why Uncle Bai thought so highly of Shrek.
As Bai Mo spoke, a fun idea suddenly occurred to him.
As everyone knew, Little Rabbit would reveal herself after the finals.
Then Tang Hao would make his entrance to a blasting soundtrack.
What if, just as he finished gloating, Bai Mo also strode in to his own soundtrack, carrying a hammer?
Bai Mo's eyes lit up. He'd decided: once Crazy Dong arrived, he'd have her practice singing Breaking the Cocoon!
"Heh heh~ An old hammer and a little hammer—do they think they can bully my students?"
Seeing Bai Mo suddenly speak in such a worldly, old-fashioned way, Qian Renxue was baffled.
Sometimes she felt like she could rely on her uncle, while at other times he seemed like a child.
"Uncle Bai?"
Qian Renxue asked in surprise.
"Don't mind him! He's always been like this. He zones out every so often!"
Wu Feng shook her head.
Qian Renxue nodded. Uncle Bai could be pretty adorable like that!
As for the slip in Wu Feng's words, Qian Renxue hadn't noticed it.
Or rather, when you thought of someone as family, how could you stay on guard about who they really were?
"What are you talking about? Just wait and see. This year's Spirit Hall finals are going to be incredible! I'll personally help Xue'er deal with Tang Hao then."
Bai Mo smiled, set Wu Feng down, and stroked Qian Renxue's golden hair.
"Thank you, Uncle~"
Qian Renxue looked at Bai Mo and the many lovely girls, young and old, in the room, her expression complicated.
Damn! She really wanted to give him a kiss!
Qian Renxue thought.
"All right, that'll do. Spend the rest of your time however you like. Dong'er, have Ning Tian take you to see Ms. Herta later to raise your Soul Ring levels, and see if you can snag an Immortal Herb while you're at it."
"Oh, and have her check whether there's anything suitable for Xue'er, too."
"Then, Qiu'er, you stay!"
Nan Qiuchiu looked at Bai Mo with a complicated expression. She'd known all along that he was probably building a harem for himself, but she hadn't expected him to make a move on little Xiao Qiu'er first!
Hearing that, Wang Dong'er secretly laughed. She wondered how shocked Xiao Xiao would be when they met again!
And as for having nothing to give Bai Mo in return?
She could just give herself to him!
Qian Renxue left with the others, her expression complicated. It seemed her uncle really did like younger girls.
Just like herself!
Something about that didn't seem right, but whatever!
"Wangfu!"
Once everyone was gone, Qiu'er boldly spoke.
"Okay! I'll take you to the Star Dou Great Forest in a bit, so you can meet this world's Silver Dragon King. I'll help heal her injuries while we're there."
