Xiao Wu's ears immediately began to itch, and an unfamiliar feeling rose within her. A blush spread across her delicate cheeks as she subconsciously took half a step back and said indignantly, "I surrender. Let me go already."
Seeing Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu acting so "intimately," Tang San's heart inexplicably gave a sudden twitch.
Wang Sheng and the others were all rather dumbfounded. Xiao Tian's Sword Martial Soul was truly bizarre—hard or soft as needed. Would it later be able to grow longer or shorter, thicker or thinner too?
Of course, what surprised them most was that Xiao Wu had actually lost!
Tang San's loss was still understandable. After all, his Martial Soul was too weak, so he could only rely on hand-to-hand techniques to contend with Xiao Tian's sword. As the saying went, an inch longer meant an inch stronger. Tang San being no match for Xiao Tian right now was understandable.
But Xiao Wu had a Beast Martial Soul, after all. They simply could not understand it. Besides, it felt as though Xiao Tian had not used his full strength against Xiao Wu at all. He had not used the several Sword Shadows he had used against Tang San, nor had he unleashed that heart-palpitating Sword Intent.
To them, it seemed as though Xiao Tian had Xiao Wu completely under his control.
Seeing Xiao Wu admit defeat, Xiao Tian naturally put away his Martial Soul.
Then, ignoring Xiao Wu's resentful gaze, Xiao Tian picked out a bed, placed his luggage on it, and set the Iron Sword by the headboard.
Ding! Host, This System is truly shocked by you. Not only did you defeat God King Tang San, but you also defeated his wife, Xiao Wu, triggering a Critical Reward: Ring-Type Storage Soul Tool (contains one thousand cubic meters of space and can store living creatures), Space Shuttle Jade Pendant, All-Encompassing Secret (Douluo version)! Space Shuttle Jade Pendant: A one-time-use item. Upon use, it can instantly transport you to a place you have previously visited. All-Encompassing Secret (Douluo version): Upon use, it can instantly increase all of the holder's attributes, including Soul Power, speed, and Mental Power, tenfold.
Holy shit!
This System might be unhinged, but it really gave out the goods!
And every single item it gave was something he desperately needed right now.
There was no need to mention the Storage Soul Tool. Having something like that was truly convenient.
The Space Shuttle Jade Pendant was an incredibly useful life-saving item. This System kept saying that it would run away after he got himself killed, yet it was giving him a life-saving item now. How considerate!
However, when Xiao Tian looked at the third reward, he froze slightly.
"Holy shit, System! I'm your father! You actually got the All-Encompassing Secret, and even made a Douluo version of it. That means this world can withstand all those countless karmic consequences, right?"
Xiao Tian shouted excitedly at the System in his heart.
Of course, Xiao Tian was only excited for a moment. The All-Encompassing Secret was not so easily triggered. He estimated that he could only leave it to fate, but it was still an excellent trump card!
System: ???
Huh? Had it heard something wrong? Had its host said something wrong?
Shouldn't it be the father instead?!
At that moment, an academy staff member came over from outside the door. "Is Tang San here? Grandmaster asked me to bring him some bedding."
Tang San looked at the rather exquisite bedding, warmth rising in his heart, though he still said calmly on the surface, "I am."
After placing the bedding on Tang San's bed, the staff member told him that Grandmaster wanted to see him after dinner, then left.
Everyone's gazes fell upon Tang San and the bedding, Xiao Tian being the sole exception.
Xiao Tian merely gave Tang San and Xiao Wu a casual glance before slowly heading toward the door. To make things easier when he came here, he had not brought bedding, pillows, or anything of the sort—only some clothes and his credentials.
"Xiao Tian, are you going out?"
Xiao Wu had originally been staring at Tang San's bedding, lost in thought, but the instant she noticed Xiao Tian leaving, she snapped back to her senses.
Xiao Tian said flatly, "I'm going out to buy bedding. What else would I be doing? What about you? Don't tell me you're planning to sleep directly on the bed tonight?"
Wang Sheng and the others eagerly tried to curry favor with her. "Sister Xiao Wu, if you don't have bedding, you can use ours!"
Xiao Wu looked at the thin, somewhat dirty bedding on Wang Sheng and the others' beds. It was simply incomparable to Tang San's, and a trace of disgust unconsciously appeared on her face.
Tang San seemed to notice Xiao Wu's expression, and a small suspicion formed in his heart. His heartbeat could not help speeding up. Could it be...?
"Xiao Tian, perfect. I need bedding too. I'll go out with you."
Who would have thought that Xiao Wu would say that instead?
Xiao Tian was somewhat surprised as well. He had no interest in a little girl like her right now. Besides, Xiao Wu, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, had likely already caught Tang Hao's attention outside the academy. With his current strength, it was better to keep a low profile and develop steadily.
Who knew Xiao Wu would not follow the plot at all? Had he beaten her into submission?
Xiao Tian replied casually, "Oh."
Xiao Wu immediately followed after him in irritation, saying dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean, 'oh'? Can't you speak properly?"
"And, could you pay for my bedding later? I'll pay you back as soon as I earn money from work."
As she said the second sentence, Xiao Wu's voice gradually grew quieter, and her face reddened slightly. She was clearly a little embarrassed.
She really had been eyeing Tang San's bedding just now. It looked quite large, and she had entertained the idea of pushing two beds together, drawing a 38th parallel down the middle, and sharing the bedding.
But then she remembered Tang San's creepy behavior earlier, and that impulsive thought immediately lost its appeal. Then she noticed Xiao Tian.
At the very least, Xiao Tian gave her a pretty good feeling. As for Tang San... how should she put it? Although he looked obedient and calm on the surface, after Xiao Tian's reminder, she seemed to have noticed that beneath Tang San's calm gaze lurked the faintest hint of depth—or perhaps gloominess?
She did not know whether her feeling was correct. After all, she had only just entered human society. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, she never had to consider so much. So, she decided to follow her heart. It was only a new set of bedding; it should not cost too much.
Still, Xiao Tian's attitude when speaking made her rather unhappy. It was far worse than his attitude during their spar just now!
Little did Xiao Wu know that Xiao Tian simply did not want to become too involved with her right now. Who knew whether Tang Hao would directly kill him if he saw them being too intimate?
Although he had the life-saving means the System had given him, he still wanted to live peacefully for a few more years.
Besides, women only slowed down the speed at which he drew his sword. This was not the time to think about romance. He was only six years old! With this time, he might as well practice his swordsmanship more. He had finally gotten a sword and a System—shouldn't he make proper use of them?
