Xiao Wu's Unusual Behavior

Clatter!

The broom slipped from Xiao Wu's grasp and fell to the floor.

What had she just heard?

Twin Martial Souls?

Lin Yi had Twin Martial Souls too?

And from his Heart Voice, he would not deliberately reveal his second martial soul.

And that so-called protagonist group—who did it refer to?

Tang San?

Or did it include her as well?

"What's wrong?" Hearing the broom hit the ground, Lin Yi looked up at Xiao Wu in confusion.

Xiao Wu hurriedly bent down to pick it up and stammered, "N-Nothing. It slipped."

Xiao Wu has been really strange today.

Forget it. I should finish cleaning up quickly, then see if there are any part-time jobs available.

Lin Yi shook his head and continued working.

Suppressing the shock in her heart, Xiao Wu pretended nothing was wrong 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, why does she have so many questions?

Still, there's no harm in telling her. A support-type martial soul like the Myriad Star Core is just useless trash in other people's eyes.

"It's support-type, called the Myriad Star Core." Lin Yi answered casually. "It can slightly enhance a teammate's abilities. Nothing very useful."

If the Myriad Star Core is properly developed, it's a top-tier support martial soul. Not only can it boost all attributes, it can store Soul Power and share vision. At critical moments, it can even serve as a power bank.

Too bad 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.

Boost all attributes?

Store Soul Power and share vision?

How was that useless trash? It was clearly a god-tier support martial soul!

"Support-types are pretty good too," Xiao Wu said innocently. "A team can't do without Support Spirit Masters."

"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded with a smile. "That's why I need to cultivate diligently and strive to become a useful Support Spirit Master."

Even though I think fighting with the Sun God Spear is incredibly cool, I need to keep a low profile. I have to maintain the support-type persona.

As for whether to reveal it, I'll consider that after I'm strong enough.

Sun God Spear?

Xiao Wu tightened her grip on the broom.

Lin Yi's second martial soul.

And judging by its name, that second martial soul was likely an attack-type—and not a weak one, either.

Xiao Wu secretly glanced at Lin Yi, her emotions in turmoil.

She stopped sweeping and looked seriously at Lin Yi. "Lin Yi, do you think... we can become friends?"

Lin Yi froze.

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

Could I have unintentionally changed something?

But Xiao Wu is a Little Rabbit who underwent Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformation. If I become friends with her, does that mean I'll be involved with their protagonist group too?

But she's only a six-year-old girl. Would it be inappropriate to cruelly refuse her...?

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformation.

He knew!

He really knew!

And Xiao Wu truly was part of the protagonist group Lin Yi had mentioned.

Did that mean she could not change her fate of sacrifice?

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

Lin Yi did not notice Xiao Wu's abnormality at all. After thinking for a moment, he nodded. "Of course. The more friends you have, the more paths you have."

"Then it's settled!" Xiao Wu forcibly suppressed the terror in her heart and revealed a brilliant smile. "From today onward, we're friends."

This Little Rabbit is pretty cute when she smiles, but her ending is just too tragic.

She sacrifices herself for Tang San, her soul is trapped within a Soul Ring, and after finally being resurrected, she still has to be controlled by the Asura God and taken to the God Realm...

That's not something an ordinary person could endure.

Forget it. I won't think about it. It doesn't have much to do with me anyway.

Lin Yi shook his head, casting those thoughts aside.

But Xiao Wu could no longer bear to listen.

She found an excuse. "Um, Lin Yi... I suddenly remembered I still have something to do. I'll be leaving first."

With that, she threw down the broom and ran away without looking back.

Leaving Lin Yi alone in the corridor, completely bewildered.

What's going on? She just said she wanted to be friends, and then she disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Wait, wasn't she supposed to buy meat buns after we finished cleaning?

Girls are really hard to understand. Girls who underwent Soul Beast Transformation are even harder to understand.

Lin Yi shook his head, picked up the broom Xiao Wu had thrown down, and continued with the remaining work.

Meanwhile, in the teachers' office.

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

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

"Twin Martial Souls, Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Silver Emperor..." Director Su, the grade director, read out the terms with a deep frown. "If this information is true, then Tang San's identity is truly astonishing."

"Even more astonishing is Lin Yi," Teacher Li said gravely. "Not only does he know Tang San's secret, he also knows Grandmaster Yu's past, even the hidden secrets of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Golden Sacred Dragon..." another teacher murmured. "If Grandmaster Yu's martial soul truly is the juvenile form of the Golden Sacred Dragon, then his tragedy could originally have been avoided."

The office fell silent.

Everyone realized that the information contained in Lin Yi's Heart Voice might change many people's fates.

"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 can't be possible, can it?" one teacher questioned. "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, a Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul..."

"The quality of her martial soul is indeed abnormally high," Director Su said thoughtfully. "But Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformation... that's simply too unbelievable."

"What should we do next, then?" a teacher asked. "Report it to Spirit Hall?"

"Not for now." Director Su shook his head. "This information is too shocking, and its source is unknown. Reporting it rashly may cause unnecessary trouble."

He paused and looked at everyone. "What we need to do now is continue observing and gather more information."

"Especially Lin Yi," Teacher Li added. "That child carries a great secret."

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

"But Lin Yi said that anyone close to Tang San would meet a bad end," a teacher reminded them. "Xiao Wu would sacrifice herself, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would nearly be exterminated..."

The office fell silent once more.

That prophecy was too heavy.

"So we must be cautious." Director Su finally made the decision. "Observe first. Do not intervene. Record all information."

"What about Grandmaster Yu...?"

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

The teachers exchanged glances and silently nodded.
