Xiao Tian: Hehe, Don't Worry, I'll Be Gentle

Was Xiao Tian about to go crazy again?

Now that his emotions had cooled down, could he say that what happened just now had only been a momentary impulse?

He had behaved himself already—could they let him off?

A sense of foreboding immediately rose in his heart.

Xiao Tian put away Sword Fifteen and walked over with a smile, patting the dust off Tang San's body.

"Tang San, although you lost to me this time, don't lose heart. In a few days, after we return to the academy, I can spare some time to put you through Devil Training until your Soul Power Level reaches twenty!"

Xiao Tian subconsciously licked his lips and let out a sinister chuckle.

Tang San felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart. Could he refuse?

Xiao Tian in this state was truly terrifying.

Xiao Wu felt the same way. She was stealthily edging to the side, trying to suppress her presence as much as possible, hoping Xiao Tian would forget she even existed.

"Xiao Wu, you too! Don't worry, I'll be very gentle."

Xiao Wu's cultivation was slightly higher than Tang San's. In one year, she had already reached level eighteen.

Xiao Wu forced out a smile uglier than crying. She felt that Xiao Tian was a demon!

Xiao Tian in this state had absolutely no idea how to cherish a delicate flower.

Yet for some reason, she also felt a faint sense of anticipation in her heart, and her legs unconsciously pressed together.

Xiao Tian thought about it. Next, he also needed to put a little more focus on cultivating his soul power.

Over the past year, he had hardly deliberately sat cross-legged to cultivate soul power. Instead, he had increased his level through constantly tempering his Sword Intent and sparring with Xiao Wu and Tang San.

The rest of the time, he was either practicing swordsmanship or practicing swordsmanship, so his current Soul Power Level was only seventeen.

But Xiao Tian did not care much about that, because he had gained something even greater!

Over the past year, he had cultivated skills such as the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique and Drunken Immortal Moon Gazing Step, which the system had given him, all the way to perfection!

Even the Soldier Secret had become extremely proficient in his hands.

One had to know that even though Tang San possessed memories of cultivating Tang Sect Unique Skills in his previous life, he had still spent more than a decade—nearly twenty years—in this life to cultivate those skills to perfection!

The only regret was that, after an entire year, he still had not triggered the All-Encompassing Secret even once. Its activation chance was simply far too low.

Right now, he only had the Soldier Secret, which merely gave him an additional ten percent chance. That was still not enough.

Xiao Tian believed that his journey had been too smooth and that he had not encountered enough pressure to stimulate his potential.

At a critical moment of danger, Xiao Tian believed he would definitely be able to trigger it successfully!

Xiao Tian shook his head and put the thought aside for now.

It was worth mentioning that improving Sword Intent really did help increase soul power. It was somewhat like the effect of a mimetic cultivation environment, only more advanced.

Xiao Tian looked around the Back Mountain with some reluctance and said lightly, "Holy Soul Village really is a nice place. Let's go."

The two of them thought Xiao Tian was praising Holy Soul Village's scenery, but in truth, his words carried another meaning.

It was nice because there was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone here, as well as Ah Yin.

Although the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was not particularly suitable for him, its effects were still incredibly powerful. If he could not obtain a better Spirit Bone from the continent or the system later on, then the Blue Silver Emperor's leg bone would still be a fine choice.

A few days passed quickly.

Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu casually stayed one night at Tang San's house, then left early the next morning. The three of them headed together to Craftsman Soul Village, where Xiao Tian lived.

Craftsman Soul Village was, as its name suggested, simply a village with many blacksmiths. This sparked Tang San's interest, since he was a blacksmith himself and wanted to see whether the blacksmiths of Craftsman Soul Village could teach him anything.

Of course, the most important reason was that Xiao Wu was going with Xiao Tian, while he did not want to return alone, so he could only follow along.

Once they returned to Notting Academy, Xiao Tian did not rush to absorb the external Spirit Bone given by the system. Instead, he waited a few days.

Using sparring as an excuse, he beat Tang San up mercilessly for several days.

In the end, Tang San lay in Dorm Seven with tears in his eyes and bandages wrapped around his body, left with no choice but to slowly recover from his injuries.

"Xiao Tian, you can be considered half my disciple now, can't you? How could you treat your senior brother like this and beat him so badly!"

Inside Dorm Seven, Yu Xiaogang angrily pointed at Xiao Tian and questioned him.

Xiao Tian helplessly waved his hand. "Grandmaster, I'm helping Tang San cultivate. Look at how quickly Tang San has improved over the past year. Without any resources, that's already extremely fast, isn't it? You can't deny that, can you?"

"Besides, look—when Xiao Wu loses a spar, she gets punished too. I'm not playing favorites. Tang San has to cultivate every day, study theoretical knowledge, and forge. I'm doing this for his own good.

Now he has even more time to stay in Dorm Seven and cultivate properly. Hehe."

Tang San, lying on the bed, wore a bitter expression. Thanks so much!

Seeing that he could not argue Xiao Tian down, Yu Xiaogang pointed at the completely uninjured Xiao Wu beside him and said calmly, "This is what you call not playing favorites? Why is Xiao San lying down while Xiao Wu is standing?"

Without the slightest embarrassment, Xiao Tian said, "That's because Xiao Wu is a girl. A token punishment is enough for her. You can ask Tang San—he agreed to this too. Ask him whether he wants Xiao Wu to lie in bed like he does."

Yu Xiaogang:

He was tired. Just end it all.

He no longer wanted to deal with it. He turned and flicked his sleeve as he left.

When Xiao Wu saw Xiao Tian looking her way, she instinctively covered her backside with both hands and glared at him viciously.

Unfortunately, it had no intimidation whatsoever.

"Train properly, or next time I'll make you end up like Tang San."

Xiao Tian's harsh words left Xiao Wu frozen in place. He then left the dormitory as well.

A few seconds later, Xiao Wu's furious roar came from Dorm Seven.

"Xiao Tian, you bastard! You're not human! You pervert!"

Mm, what wonderful praise.

Xiao Tian had only said that to scare her, so she would obediently stay at the academy and train. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he left the academy and found an inn in the city.

That's right, he planned to absorb the External Soul Bone the system had given him at the inn. He had been unable to wait any longer!

With both Xiao Wu and Tang San at the academy, he could temporarily escape Tang Hao's watchful gaze and absorb the Soul Bone to his heart's content!

He wondered what kind of Spirit Skill this Ethereal Sword Wings External Soul Bone would bring him.
