Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Core Disciple dormitory.
After showering, Wu Xing came out and sat on his bed. He wasn't in a hurry to interact with the group members.
He casually sat cross-legged, intending to take advantage of the moment to break through to the Soul Ancestor realm at level 40.
When others broke through a level, they needed to meditate and cultivate day and night, build up their foundations through desperate battles, and spend a long time before they could take that step.
But Wu Xing played by no rules. In the six short days since he'd arrived on Douluo Continent, he hadn't once cultivated properly from beginning to end.
Yet with his Innate Level 20 Soul Power foundation, a little exercise at the Great Soul Arena that afternoon, and his small show of swagger that evening—
That was all it took. He hadn't even used any points, and his Soul Power was already showing signs of a breakthrough.
He circulated his power for one cycle, and the bottleneck shattered instantly.
Level 40 Soul Power.
Done.
It was as easy as drinking water.
If the Soul Masters on the continent knew about this—no, even if just the group members found out how shamelessly he was showing off, they'd probably band together to take him down.
He rolled his neck and felt the Soul Power surging through him. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
Was that it?
Of course not.
Now that he was level 40, the next step was obviously to add a Spirit Ring.
As usual, he started with a fifty-thousand-year Spirit Ring for his First Martial Soul, just to steady his nerves.
His Soul Power instantly rose from level 40 to level 42.
For his Second Martial Soul, he still went with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Once that was done, his Soul Power enjoyed another rocket ride, soaring straight to level 48 before finally coming to a stop.
From breakthrough to finish—
He'd gone from level 39 to level 48.
It had taken less than ten minutes.
Being invincible was just so lonely!
Other people went up one level at a time. What he'd done was practically the same as jumping an entire major realm!
He opened the Chat Group.
Wu Xing reflexively froze, then blinked a couple of times to make sure he hadn't seen wrong.
999+ unread messages???
What was going on? He'd only been away from the Chat Group for half a day.
How had a group of twelve people managed to rack up 999+ unread messages?
"Let's see what happened."
Wu Xing laughed and opened the oldest unread message. He understood what was going on at a glance.
[ Ding: Xiao Wu uploaded a video.]
[ Ding: Xiao Wu uploaded a video.]
The first video showed him at the Great Soul Arena, taking down one opponent after another with a single thrust of his spear.
The second video naturally showed the whole scene from that evening, when he'd displayed his might, stood up for a group member, and fiercely protected her.
[Shui Bing'er: Is that the Group Leader in the video? Is he in Heaven Dou City?]
[Xiao Wu: Hee-hee, of course it's Brother Wu Xing.]
[Hu Liena: I finally get to see what the Group Leader looks like! He's so handsome. The way he fiercely protects people—I'm in love! Why couldn't he be in Spirit City?]
[Ah Rou: Our benefactor is amazing. Xiao Wu, you must take good care of him.]
[Xiao Wu: Mom, don't worry. I'm going to have a whole litter of little bunnies with Brother Wu Xing.]
[Dugu Yan: You shameless Hooligan Rabbit!]
[Ning Rongrong: Damn it, Xiao Wu, you're not even embarrassed anymore! A whole litter of little bunnies? How can you even say that!]
[Zhu Zhuqing: Agreed!]
Wu Xing's mouth twitched hard as he read.
A whole litter of little bunnies?
What was this girl's head full of?
But come to think of it, if Xiao Wu were six years older, he wouldn't mind.
But right now, he was practically a kid himself. He wasn't interested—he couldn't get excited at all.
Leaning back against the headboard, Wu Xing continued scrolling down the screen, reading bit by bit.
[Xiao Wu: What's the point of being embarrassed? Would being embarrassed make Brother Wu Xing have little bunnies with me?]
[Xiao Wu: Wait, I mean, would being embarrassed let me have a whole litter of little bunnies with Brother Wu Xing?]
[Everyone: ...]
[Ah Rou: Xiao Wu, Mom supports you. Stay by our benefactor's side from now on, and be a good girl, understand?]
[Xiao Wu: Hee-hee, Mom, I know. When you're revived, I'll bring you to meet the children I have with Brother Wu Xing.]
[Ah Rou: Good. Mom will help look after them then.]
[Xiao Wu: You're the best, Mom!]
At this point, Wu Xing almost sprayed his drink all over the bed.
It was one thing for Xiao Wu to be so mischievous, but even Ah Rou was joining in!
Did all Soft Bone Rabbits come with a hooligan streak?
But compared to Xiao Wu, Sister Ah Rou, I'd much rather have a whole litter of adorable little bunnies with you.
[Ning Rongrong: I can't look at this anymore. This is a group chat, not a place for discussing having babies!]
[Dugu Yan: Exactly! This is a Chat Group, not a rabbit-only chat!]
[Zhu Zhuqing: +1!]
[Shui Bing'er: +2!]
[Qian Renxue: +9!]
Things ended there. Xiao Wu and Ah Rou knew when to stop; otherwise, they'd face resistance from all the other group members.
After that, they stopped talking about having little bunnies.
[Ning Rongrong: Qian Renxue, you finally decided to show up?]
[Qian Renxue: ? What's wrong?]
[Ning Rongrong: Don't play dumb! Was Wu Xing the first one you landed?]
[Bibi Dong: Xue'er? Really? You landed the Group Leader?]
[Ning Rongrong: Bibi Dong, you're the Pope. Don't you use your brain? Dugu Yan made such a commotion this morning. Did you forget?]
Actually, Bibi Dong couldn't be blamed. She was just a little excited.
After all, this was extremely important to her. Until she got confirmation, it was all just guesswork.
[Shui Bing'er: Now that you put it that way, I think I understand.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: No wonder you were so fired up first thing in the morning. Someone snatched a peach right out of your hands.]
[Hu Liena: Young Mistress, Young Mistress, boo-hoo! How could you sneak off and have him first without bringing Nana along?]
[Dugu Yan: Qian Renxue, you wretched woman! Your mother's dead!]
Seeing her own business dragged out into the open again, Dugu Yan flared up once more. Without a word, she started by cursing the other woman's mother.
[Bibi Dong: Dugu Yan, can you stop dragging relatives into this? I'm not dead!]
[Dugu Yan: You died in the video!]
[Bibi Dong: ..., you make a good point. But since Xue'er was in the wrong first, this Pope will let it slide.]
[Bibi Dong: Xue'er, hurry up and tell Mom. Is what they're saying true?]
Being cursed to her face had, for once, failed to anger Bibi Dong. She was actually delighted. If it were true, what did a couple of curses matter?
If getting cursed meant she could cling to the Group Leader's powerful leg, she'd take as many curses as they liked. This Pope would just pretend she hadn't seen them.
[Qian Renxue: Yes. He even wants to be my dad.]
[Bibi Dong: Are you sure?]
[Qian Renxue: Bibi Dong, you really dare to imagine that? If I agreed, would you just go along with it?]
[Bibi Dong: It's not entirely out of the question. You know, Xue'er, Mom has already...]
[Ah Yin: ...]
[Bo Saixi: ...]
[Ning Rongrong: Good heavens! There are two pairs of mothers and daughters in this group, and each pair is more outrageous than the last!]
[Dugu Yan: Well, well. Our dignified Pope can't stand the loneliness anymore? Are you planning to fight us youngsters for a man?]
[Bo Saixi: I think it's not entirely out of the question...]
