The Narcissistic Yu Xiaogang: I Can Make an Exception and Take You as an Unofficial Disciple

On the academy lawn.

Xiao Tian took off his shirt, revealing the solid lines of his muscles. Gripping his Iron Sword, he began swinging it with a focused gaze.

"Ah! Why did you suddenly take off your clothes?!"

Xiao Wu could not help crying out. Her face flushed slightly as she covered her eyes with her tiny hands, though her curiosity still made her leave two narrow gaps between her fingers.

Xiao Tian smiled. "Xiao Wu, haven't you heard the phrase 'sweating like rain'?"

"Don't tell me that little head of yours is thinking dirty thoughts? Taking off my shirt while practicing swordsmanship lets me move more smoothly."

"Wh-who's thinking dirty thoughts?! I'm only six years old—what bad ideas could I possibly have?"

Xiao Wu had not expected Xiao Tian to use such an excuse. She felt it was nothing but twisted logic.

Xiao Tian was clearly the type who looked slim in clothes but was well-built underneath. He was obviously just a six-year-old child, yet his entire body radiated such a sense of strength.

Xiao Tian secretly laughed. What six-year-old little girl? As a Soft Bone Demon Rabbit, Xiao Wu's status among Soft Bone Rabbits was equivalent to that of the Blue Silver Emperor among Blue Silver Grass. Her cultivation talent and abilities were top-notch too.

But even so, Xiao Wu had to be at least tens of thousands of years old, right? And she was still pretending to be innocent here. Hahaha.

Perhaps Xiao Wu, having spent so many years in the Star Dou Great Forest, really was more innocent than humans. But she had a mother to guide her, so she must have received some enlightenment about those matters.

Watching Xiao Tian practice his swordsmanship, Xiao Wu refused to be outdone. She sat down where she was and began cultivating.

Though she could not openly gather soul power while beside Xiao Tian, she could still continue cultivating it.

Gradually, night fell, and the sky filled with beautiful sunset clouds.

Grrr~~

After cultivating for an entire afternoon, Xiao Wu's stomach was rumbling. When she opened her eyes, she found Xiao Tian still in the same posture, continuously swinging his sword. His entire upper body was covered in sweat, glistening beneath the evening glow.

"Xiao Tian, y-you've really just been swinging your sword this whole time? How long has it been?!"

Xiao Wu said in shock.

Only upon hearing Xiao Wu's voice did Xiao Tian come back to his senses. It seemed he had entered some kind of state just now—no matter how he swung his sword, he did not feel tired. Amazing! It felt absolutely amazing!

"Huh? That's normal. Ever since I can remember, I've practiced with a little Wooden Sword. I even hugged it to sleep."

Xiao Tian flicked the sweat from his hand, picked up the towel from the lawn, and wiped himself down before putting his shirt back on. This greatly reduced the smell of sweat on his body, which was another benefit of practicing without a shirt.

Xiao Wu was stunned upon hearing that. So that was why Xiao Tian's upper body had such good definition. Seeing him put his clothes back on, she actually felt a little reluctant?

"Come on, it's getting late. Let's go eat. Your stomach is already protesting."

Xiao Tian chuckled teasingly before heading toward the cafeteria.

"Yours is rumbling too."

Xiao Wu followed closely behind, muttering softly.

Unfortunately, they happened to run into Yu Xiaogang and Tang San on the way.

As usual, the system issued a warning at Tang San's appearance, but it showed no reaction whatsoever toward Yu Xiaogang.

"Yo, Tang San. What a coincidence."

Xiao Tian gave a polite greeting and prepared to walk past them.

But someone was unwilling to let him go.

"Wait. You're Xiao Tian, right? Xiao San told me that your martial soul possesses intelligence. Can you let me take a look?"

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly stopped Xiao Tian, who was about to leave, speaking in a tone that brooked no refusal.

"Are we that close?"

Xiao Tian's eyes remained as still as an ancient well. What was this Yu Xiaogang trying to do?

Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened slightly. Just as Tang San had said, Xiao Tian did not seem easy to get along with.

Tang San frowned, a trace of displeasure flashing through his eyes. "Xiao Tian, how can you speak to my teacher like that?"

Seeing his disciple immediately stand up for him, Yu Xiaogang nodded approvingly, then waved a hand. "It's fine. It's normal that Xiao Tian doesn't know me."

Then Yu Xiaogang revealed what he considered a very friendly smile. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Gang, the Continent's Number One Theoretical Master. You are the second person I have seen whose martial soul possesses intelligence. I'm rather interested in this and hope you can display your martial soul."

"If it truly possesses intelligence, then even if your Innate Soul Power is only rank five, I can make an exception and accept you as an Unofficial Disciple. How about it? I don't take just anyone. At present, Xiao San is my only Closed-Door Disciple, and he will remain my only Closed-Door Disciple in the future."

Xiao Tian: ???

What the hell, man?

Are you sick?

Xiao Tian suspected that Yu Xiaogang had a serious narcissistic streak. Was being the Continent's Number One Theoretical Master really that impressive?

He was nothing but a joke!

Xiao Tian said, "Oh."

Xiao Tian ignored him outright and headed straight for the cafeteria.

Seriously, he had practiced swordsmanship all afternoon. He was starving to death now.

If you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with your thinking!

Xiao Wu gave the two of them a faint glance and hurried after Xiao Tian. She could more or less understand why he had that attitude, because she felt the same way—she was hungry!

Did these two not know what a cafeteria was for?

Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened once again. The kindness on his face could no longer be maintained, and intense dissatisfaction rose in his heart.

"Stop! Xiao Tian, what kind of attitude is that?"

Tang San said coldly, his gaze turning slightly chilly.

Xiao Tian stopped walking, feeling somewhat helpless. He wanted to keep a low profile, but they simply would not let him. His eyes lowered slightly, and a faint Sword Intent unconsciously emanated from his body.

Warning! Warning! Tang Hao is nearby. Please do not do anything excessive, Host. Keep a low profile! Keep a low profile! This System doesn't want to replace its Host so soon—it would affect performance!

Tang San immediately watched Xiao Tian warily. The aura around Xiao Tian had changed!

"Hey, what's with this Grandmaster of yours? Aren't you annoying! Do you even know what time it is? We're on our way to the cafeteria! If we get there late, there won't be any food left. Did you have to keep asking questions right now?"

Before Xiao Tian could turn around, Xiao Wu exploded first. This Grandmaster, just like Tang San, was really rather irritating!

After saying that, Xiao Wu immediately grabbed Xiao Tian's hand and ran toward the cafeteria.

Because Yu Xiaogang and the others had held them up, there were basically no people left on the road. They had already been late heading to the cafeteria in the first place.

For the sake of her dinner, Xiao Wu could not care about anything else. She grabbed Xiao Tian's hand and ran toward the cafeteria.

Xiao Tian was slightly stunned as well. Looking at Xiao Wu, who was pulling him along, he said, "Huh, Xiao Wu, shouldn't you dislike me a little? You actually spoke up for me?"

After running for a short distance, Xiao Wu released Xiao Tian's hand. Her face reddened slightly as she steadied her breathing, then said in confusion, "When did I ever say I disliked you?"
