Xiao Wu's Abnormal Behavior

"Clatter!"

The broom in Xiao Wu's hand slipped from her grip and fell to the ground.

What had she just heard?

Twin Martial Souls?

Lin Yi also possessed Twin Martial Souls?

And judging by his inner voice, he had no intention of deliberately exposing his second Martial Soul.

Also, who was this so-called protagonist group he referred to?

Tang San?

Or did it include her as well?

"What's wrong?" Hearing the sound of the broom hitting the floor, Lin Yi looked up at Xiao Wu with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Wu hurriedly bent down to pick up the broom, stammering, "N-nothing, my hand just slipped."

[Xiao Wu is acting really strange today?]

[Forget it, I should finish cleaning quickly and go see if there are any part-time jobs available.]

Lin Yi shook his head and continued his work.

Suppressing the shock in her heart, Xiao Wu pretended to be nonchalant as she swept and asked, "Lin Yi, what is your Martial Soul? I've never seen it before."

Lin Yi's movements paused slightly.

[Not only is she acting strange, but why does she have so many questions?]

[Still, it wouldn't hurt to tell her. Anyway, a support-type Martial Soul like the Myriad Star Core is seen as useless by everyone else.]

"It's a support-type, called the Myriad Star Core," Lin Yi replied casually. "It can just slightly enhance a teammate's abilities; it's not very useful."

[If the Myriad Star Core is developed properly, it's a top-tier support Martial Soul. Not only can it amplify all attributes, but it can also store soul power and share vision—it's basically a power bank in critical moments.]

[It's a pity my soul power is too low right now; I can only use it as a flashlight.]

Myriad Star Core?

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.

Amplify all attributes?

Store soul power and share vision?

This wasn't useless at all; this was clearly a god-tier support Martial Soul.

"Support-type is pretty good, too," Xiao Wu said, feigning innocence. "A team can't do without a support-type Soul Master."

"That's true," Lin Yi nodded with a smile. "That's why I have to cultivate hard and strive to become a useful support Soul Master."

[Although I think fighting with the Sun God Spear is extremely cool, I have to keep a low profile. I need to maintain this support-type persona.]

[As for whether to expose it, I'll consider that once my strength is sufficient.]

Sun God Spear?

Xiao Wu's grip on the broom tightened.

Lin Yi's second Martial Soul.

And judging by the name, this second Martial Soul should be of the assault type, and it certainly wouldn't be weak.

Xiao Wu secretly glanced at Lin Yi, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

She stopped what she was doing and looked at Lin Yi earnestly. "Lin Yi, do you think... we can be friends?"

Lin Yi was stunned.

[What's going on? Why does she suddenly want to be friends with me?]

[Did I accidentally change something?]

[But Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form—a little rabbit. If I become friends with her, does that mean I'll be involved with their protagonist group?]

[But she's just a six-year-old girl. Would it be inappropriate to heartlessly refuse her...]

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.

He knew!

He really knew!

And she was indeed part of what Lin Yi called the protagonist group.

Did that mean she was unable to change her fate of sacrifice?

Xiao Wu's entire body stiffened, her blood nearly freezing in her veins.

Lin Yi didn't notice Xiao Wu's abnormality at all. He thought for a moment and nodded. "Of course, having more friends makes the path easier."

"It's a deal, then!" Xiao Wu forced down the panic in her heart and flashed a brilliant smile. "From today on, we're friends."

[This little rabbit is actually quite cute when she smiles, but it's a pity her ending is so tragic.]

[Sacrificing herself for Tang San, her soul trapped within a soul ring, and even after finally being resurrected, she is still controlled by the Asura God to be taken to the God Realm...]

[This process is truly not something an ordinary person could endure.]

[Forget it, no use thinking about it. Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with me.]

Lin Yi shook his head, casting these thoughts aside.

But Xiao Wu could no longer listen to this.

She found an excuse: "That... Lin Yi, I suddenly remembered I have something to do. I'm leaving first."

Having said that, she dropped the broom and ran off without looking back.

Leaving Lin Yi alone in the hallway, looking completely bewildered.

[What's the situation? She just said she wanted to be friends, and in the blink of an eye, she's vanished?]

[Wait, no, didn't she say we were going to buy meat buns after finishing the cleaning?]

[A girl's mind is truly hard to guess, and a girl who is a transformed soul beast is even harder to guess.]

Lin Yi shook his head, picked up the broom Xiao Wu had dropped, and continued to finish the remaining work.

Meanwhile, in the teachers' office.

Several teachers sat huddled together, a thick notebook spread out before them.

The notebook was densely packed with all the information Lin Yi had "spoken" during today's theory class.

"Twin Martial Souls, Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Silver Emperor..." Director Su, the grade director, read these terms aloud, his brows furrowed. "If this information is true, then Tang San's identity is truly astonishing."

"What's even more astonishing is Lin Yi," Teacher Li said in a low voice. "He not only knows Tang San's secrets, but also knows the past of Grandmaster Yu, and even the hidden secrets of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family."

"Golden Sacred Dragon..." another teacher muttered. "If Grandmaster Yu's martial soul is truly a juvenile Golden Sacred Dragon, then his tragedy could have been avoided."

The office fell silent.

Everyone realized that the information contained in Lin Yi's inner voice could potentially change the fate of many people.

"And Xiao Wu," Director Su suddenly said. "Did you notice? When Lin Yi mentioned Xiao Wu in his heart, he used the term 'Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transformation'."

"That's impossible, right?" a teacher questioned. "A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transformation? That's something that only exists in legends."

"But Lin Yi knows too many things that we don't," Teacher Li said with a serious expression. "And think back to Xiao Wu's performance when she enrolled: six years old, Innate Full Soul Power, Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul..."

"The quality of her martial soul is indeed abnormally high," Director Su mused. "But a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transformation... that is too inconceivable."

"Then what should we do next?" a teacher asked. "Report it to Martial Soul Hall?"

"Not yet," Director Su shook his head. "This information is too shocking, and the source is unknown. Reporting it rashly might cause unnecessary trouble."

He paused and looked at the others. "What we need to do now is continue observing and collect more information."

"Especially about Lin Yi," Teacher Li added. "There is a great secret hidden within this child."

"And Tang San," Director Su said. "If he truly has Twin Martial Souls, then his value for cultivation is completely different."

"But Lin Yi said that those who have good relationships with Tang San don't end up well," a teacher reminded them. "Xiao Wu's sacrifice, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect nearly being wiped out..."

The office fell silent once again.

This prophecy was too heavy.

"So we must be cautious," Director Su finally decided. "Observe first, do not intervene, and record all information."

"And what about Grandmaster Yu..."

"Don't tell him for now," Director Su shook his head. "Given Yu Xiaogang's personality, if he knew his martial soul might be a juvenile Golden Sacred Dragon, there's no telling what he might do."

The teachers looked at each other and nodded silently.
