Attribute Burst?

Xiao Yi walked over to Tang Wutong, crouched down, and reached out to help her up. Before he could even touch her, however, Tang Wutong jolted as if struck by lightning, springing up from the ground with lightning speed and moving away from Xiao Yi with a highly unnatural expression.

She would tremble from time to time, as if she were savoring something.

Tang Wutong felt that what was radiating from her backside wasn't pain, but wave after wave of tingling numbness crashing into her brain, making her want to let out a soft whimper. This sensation made her feel incredibly ashamed, and she wished she could fight Xiao Yi to the death right then and there.

How dare he treat this young lady like this? But why does it feel so good?

At this thought, she shook her head violently and shuffled over to Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao, appearing otherwise normal.

Seeing that she seemed fine, Xiao Yi didn't give it much more thought; after all, those two strikes hadn't been heavy, and for a Soul Master's physical constitution, it would have been nothing more than a momentary sting. However, what Xiao Yi didn't expect was that this seemed to have triggered a strange switch in Tang Wutong.

He walked up to the three of them and began to review the battle that had just taken place.

"Xiao Xiao, when you use your Three Lives Soul-Shaking Cauldron to attack, you can try attacking from different directions at different frequencies. Such small techniques can increase the difficulty for your opponent to respond, so you can practice that a bit."

As the possessor of an eye-type Martial Soul, Xiao Yi possessed inherent observational abilities, so the shortcomings of the group during the battle were clear to him. He then casually pointed out a few more flaws, which was the whole point of him acting as their sparring partner.

"Finally, Wulin and Yutong, you two also need to practice your Martial Soul Fusion Skill diligently. The time it takes for you to fuse is simply too long."

Tang Wutong let out a cold snort. She could still feel a lingering numbness throughout her body, and she felt... she actually wanted more.

Tang Wutong bit her lower lip hard, feeling incredibly ashamed inside, yet she couldn't suppress this feeling no matter what.

"Right, Yutong, stay behind. Xiao Xiao, Wulin, you two can head out first." Xiao Yi seemed to have suddenly remembered something and called out to Huo Yutong, who was about to leave.

Turning around in confusion, Huo Yutong walked back obediently, her bright, large eyes looking at Xiao Yi with curiosity and attachment.

Meeting Huo Yutong's beautiful eyes, Xiao Yi couldn't help but reach out his wicked hand again and give her little blue head a fierce rub.

Huo Yutong let out a soft, comfortable hum, gathered her courage, and leaned into Xiao Yi's embrace, her small hands wrapping around his waist like a timid stray kitten approaching a human.

Though a bit surprised, he still held the Huo Yutong who had taken the initiative to approach him.

"Alright Yutong, this is for you. Neither Wulin nor I have any use for it, and you should thank your teacher, Tang Ya; she's the one who asked for these." Releasing Huo Yutong, Xiao Yi took a jade bottle from his storage Soul Tool—it was the two Mystic Water Pills that Xu Sanshi had given him.

After thinking it over, he realized only Huo Yutong could make use of them. He himself had Innate Full Soul Power, and Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan didn't need them thanks to the assistance of the Fallen Heart Flame.

As for Tang Wutong, she probably wouldn't even look at them; she could reach level 25 soul power just by being lazy, so she likely treated rare treasures like daily meals.

Huo Yutong raised her little head, looking a bit dazed. Mystic Water Pills? For me?

She then shook her head violently, her small face filled with resistance.

"Brother Xiao Yi, I can't take this. It's too valuable." She raised her small hand and pushed the jade bottle toward Xiao Yi, her face devoid of any greed, filled only with firmness.

"Take it. I have no use for it. Just consider it a loan to you, Yutong; you'll have to pay me back later." Xiao Yi smiled and pinched her nose. This girl's potential was truly not small.

The main thing was that the item was truly useless to him, and if he kept it, it would just be for his future women. Among them, only Huo Yutong could use it, given that her Innate Soul Power was only level one.

Hearing this, Huo Yutong looked at Xiao Yi with teary eyes. How could she not know this was just an excuse to make her accept it? She slowly reached out, took the jade bottle, and tucked it away solemnly.

"Brother Xiao Yi, I will definitely repay you in the future," she said with an incredibly firm gaze.

"Good, I'll be waiting." Xiao Yi thought to himself, You're so cute, wouldn't giving yourself to me entirely be the best way to repay me?

The two walked out of the Soul Fighting Arena and waved goodbye. Watching the small blue figure gradually fade into the distance, Xiao Yi turned around to see Tang Wutong waiting not far away. Seeing Xiao Yi emerge, she slowly edged closer.

"Let's go. It's time for you to give an explanation, Miss Tang..." Xiao Yi said the last two words slowly, his tone laced with teasing. He intentionally leaned in a bit closer, his warm breath brushing against her neck, and Tang Wutong felt that strange, illicit pleasure spreading through her body once again.

"Mm..." she replied in a low voice, completely devoid of her usual arrogant and domineering demeanor. Xiao Yi was somewhat surprised; why had this girl become so docile? Shouldn't her normal reaction be a haughty snort, followed by a declaration that she was graciously allowing him to see her true appearance?

As they walked side by side, Tang Wutong kept her head tucked like an ostrich, following behind Xiao Yi. Her eyes remained fixed on his broad palm, and she couldn't help but squeeze her legs together; ever since a moment ago, she had felt a persistent dampness down there.

Looking at Tang Wutong, who was acting like a completely different person, he was filled with confusion. Could it be that she's awakened some strange attribute? He recalled the look of total collapse on Tang Wutong's face after he had spanked her the second time.

No way? Does she have a hidden attribute?

The two returned to the dormitory and stepped into the dimly lit room. Without turning on the lights, they simply stared at each other in silence.

After a long while, Xiao Yi finally spoke.

"Are you not going to revert to your female form?"

"When did you find out?" Tang Wutong still needed to confirm it.

"The time we fought Dai Huabin, I suppose."

"What?" Tang Wutong jerked her head up, looking completely dumbfounded. Wasn't that only a few days after school started?

"Are you truly dense or just pretending? You should be thankful you're the young lady of the Clear Sky Sect. The Radiant Goddess Butterfly is a Martial Soul that only appears in females," Xiao Yi said with a smile, leaving Tang Wutong's mind in a complete daze.

Tang Wutong's mouth twitched. She really hadn't known that...

Seeing Xiao Yi smiling before her, she rolled her eyes. Since he had known all along, she stopped putting on an act in front of him.

Seeing that she was about to revert to her female form, Xiao Yi consciously prepared to turn around.

"Alright, you can turn back now."

Turning around, his eyes instantly lit up.

She had a head of blue-pink hair that reached her waist, the strands light and elegant. A delicate butterfly hair accessory was tucked behind her temple, looking both lively and refined.

Her clear, bright pink-blue eyes were like sapphires soaked in a clear spring. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, and her expression was cold and serene, carrying an inherent, ethereal air of detachment. Her skin was as white as snow, her face delicate and exquisite, and while her features were soft, they held a hint of aloofness. Her temperament was ethereal and otherworldly, like an elf who had fallen into the mortal realm.

She wore a short white and blue dress, the overall design both sweet and lively.

The neckline was adorned with a soft pink bow, and the shoulders featured layered, ruffled sleeves, adding a touch of girlish charm.

The dress featured a base of pure white, accented with icy blue waist-cinching lines and bow decorations that highlighted the young girl's developing bust and slender, willow-like waist, while the skirt was styled in a playful, short cut.

Her straight, long legs were adorned with pure white over-the-knee stockings featuring delicate patterns at the cuffs, and she wore blue-and-white stiletto pumps on her feet, the toes embellished with dainty blue bows. With simple white wrist guards completing the look, the entire outfit was fresh and elegant, perfectly accentuating her spirited and ethereal temperament.

"Let me reintroduce myself: this young lady's real name is Tang Wutong." She returned to her original state, lifting her head with a haughty air.

"As for why I disguised myself as a man, it's because I'm too beautiful, and my family was afraid I would be harassed." Tang Wutong's tone was flat, stating it as a matter of fact.

Xiao Yi's mouth twitched; this reason was truly absurd and likely something the girl had made up on the spot. Tang Wutong's acting skills were far worse than Wang Dong's; in the original story, Huo Yuhao had even questioned his own sexual orientation before ever suspecting that his good brother wasn't a man.

Perhaps it was just his own preconceived notions, or maybe knowing the truth beforehand made her acting seem particularly clumsy.

The two sat opposite each other, Xiao Yi staring at Tang Wutong, who was currently struggling to find her words and beginning to act coy.

"So, what do you plan to do next? Are you still going to live with me?" Xiao Yi asked in a leisurely tone; if Tang Wutong went back to dressing as a man, he was afraid he might end up giving Tang San a grandson one day.

Tang Wutong nodded her little head, stammering slightly with her face flushed bright red, her legs rubbing together incessantly. Then, she lifted her head with determination and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Xiao Yi, can you do me a favor..."
