There's No Point Fighting When You Could Be Cultivating!

Chapter 8: There's No Point Fighting When You Could Be Cultivating!

The system addressed Tang Hao as the Killing God, the Plane Master of Douluo Star.

Calling him the Killing God was understandable. More than twenty years later, after Tang San became a god, he had Tang Hao inherit the position of the Second-Class God, the Killing God. Tang Hao also possessed Divine Slaughter's Domain, so it was reasonable for the system to call him that.

But calling Tang Hao the Plane Master of Douluo Star—wasn't that a bit excessive?

Tang Hao only became the Plane Master of Douluo Star ten thousand years later, didn't he?

Then there were the ways it addressed Tang San and Xiao Wu, which gave Xiao Tian a certain suspicion.

However, he had encountered too few people so far to be completely certain. He needed to observe more.

By the time they had finished buying everything, it was already noon. Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu ate outside before returning, with Xiao Tian naturally paying.

On the way back, Xiao Tian finally could not help asking, "Xiao Wu, can I ask where your home is? Why don't you even have a single Copper Soul Coin on you?"

Xiao Wu's expression immediately stiffened. Her gaze wandered as she looked around. "Um... my home is very far from here. I actually don't eat much. I just ate wild fruits and carrots and stuff along the way..."

"Then why didn't you choose an academy closer to home? Don't they accept Work-Study Students there?"

Xiao Tian threw out another question. This had actually puzzled him for quite some time.

Xiao Wu: ...

"What's with you? You're so annoying. I'll tell you later."

Xiao Wu said this somewhat haughtily before quickening her pace ahead.

In truth, she did not know why she had come all the way here either. Just as Xiao Tian had said, there were plenty of small towns between the Star Dou Great Forest and Notting City. As a soul beast, her identity could not be seen through unless one was a Titled Douluo. Titled Douluo were generally found in major cities, so how could she run into one so easily?

Xiao Tian watched Xiao Wu's back in silence and followed behind her, thinking about what he should do next.

Practicing swordsmanship was naturally a daily compulsory course, but now he had several additional training goals: to bring the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique and the Drunken Immortal Moon Gazing Step to the major mastery stage as soon as possible.

But before that, there was something he had wanted to do ever since awakening Sword Fifteen—Sword Flight!

Thanks to the effort he had put in during the three months before entering the academy, he had learned the Sword Control Technique on his own. Now, he could try using it as a foundation for Sword Flight. It would be even better if he could make Fifteen relieve itself anywhere!

And he also needed to settle the matter of his first Spirit Ring.

But now that the system had given him an Enlightenment Boost, and that unhinged system occasionally handed out sword techniques and the like, it meant that any kind of Spirit Ring would do for him.

Considering that using sword techniques initially required a great deal of soul power, Xiao Tian decided that his first Spirit Ring would be one related to boosting soul power.

However, he had only awakened his martial soul three months ago. No matter how hard he cultivated, it was impossible for him to reach level ten so quickly. Therefore, Xiao Tian planned to head alone to a nearby Soul Beast Forest to hunt!

As for being discovered later, he could simply say that his talent was extraordinary and that cultivating Sword Intent allowed him to increase his soul power cultivation speed. In any case, that fake Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang definitely would not be able to see through anything. He might even become very interested and not suspect him at all.

After returning to the academy, Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu discovered that only Wang Sheng and a few others were in Dorm Seven. Tang San had probably already gone to Yu Xiaogang.

Xiao Tian did not care much about that. After placing his bedding on his bed, he took his Iron Sword and turned to leave the dormitory.

"Hey, Xiao Tian, you just got back and you're heading out again?" Wang Sheng asked in confusion.

"To practice swordsmanship!"

Xiao Tian glanced at Wang Sheng and the others before saying calmly, "Let me give you some advice. We're commoners to begin with. Now that we have soul power and the chance to cultivate properly, we should train with everything we have instead of fighting with those noble students."

Wang Sheng and the others were slightly stunned.

Wang Sheng said somewhat unhappily, "It's not like us Work-Study Students want this. Those noble students are the ones looking for trouble! We have no choice..."

Xiao Tian shook his head. "Then we should cultivate even harder. Also, now that the three of us have joined, you can spread the news that Xiao Wu and Tang San both have Innate Full Soul Power. You can also vaguely let it slip that Tang San has taken Grandmaster as his teacher."

"Grandmaster is, after all, a renowned theorist across the continent. Tang San has already reached level ten, so Grandmaster will definitely take him to obtain his first Spirit Ring in the next few days. Among the noble sixth-year students, who has the highest Soul Power Level? What level are they?"

After Xiao Tian's barrage of words, Wang Sheng could only answer blankly, "It's Xiao Chenyu. Level eleven."

"Exactly. And if that still doesn't work, go find the headmaster! He surely doesn't want two promising commoner talents clashing with noble students, right? If the headmaster steps in and says a few words, Xiao Chenyu and the others will probably settle down a little. Besides, Tang San has Grandmaster backing him."

Heh, although Xiao Chenyu and the others did not know Yu Xiaogang's background, everyone in the academy knew that he was the headmaster's friend. And Xiao Chenyu's father was, after all, the lord of Notting City.

Yu Xiaogang was, at least publicly, the continent's foremost theoretical Grandmaster. Even though he had been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was not someone a mere city lord could dare provoke.

Wang Sheng and the others exchanged looks, their faces full of helplessness. Still, what Xiao Tian said made some sense. They could give it a try!

If they could avoid fighting, they did not want to fight either. They had come to the academy to cultivate and study, not to brawl!

Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Tian's retreating back, then thoughtfully chased after him.

"Hey, Xiao Tian, wait for me. Why did you say all that just now?"

Xiao Wu frowned as she spoke.

As Xiao Tian walked toward the academy lawn, he said calmly, "What? Was I wrong? Do you think this kind of fighting has any meaning? If you lose, you lose face. If you win, you become the boss, the big sister? Win or lose, does it bring any real benefit to our cultivation?"

"If you lose, the noble students will keep causing trouble. If you win and become the boss, there might be a pile of troublesome matters waiting for you afterward. With that time, I'd rather practice my swordsmanship!"

With the memories of his previous life, his mentality had long ceased to be that of a six-year-old child. He simply could not muster any interest in this childish game of fighting.

If Xiao Chenyu and the others had been stronger, they might have helped improve his own strength somewhat and served as stepping stones. But... Xiao Chenyu was simply too weak!

He was the son of a city lord, yet his first Spirit Ring was only a Ten Year Spirit Ring, not even a Hundred Year one. He was truly dragging down the prestige of being a city lord's son!
