Xiao Wu: I'm Actually Super Smart

Xiao Wu did not actually have much of a reaction to concepts like the world, war, or justice; she was neither moved nor shaken by hearing about Huang Tian's grand ambitions.

But as long as there was a barely plausible reason to support her, she would continue to muddle along.

After all, deep down, she had no desire to leave Huang Tian.

Interpreting her compromise as supporting her boyfriend's dreams, she quickly accepted the presence of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, remaining as happy, simple, and straightforward as she had always been.

The three of them even got along remarkably well.

In the days that followed, Huang Tian clashed with Shrek Academy multiple times.

For instance, he was utterly shocked and unable to accept that Shrek Academy provided only steamed buns, rice porridge, and pickled vegetables as their long-term diet.

Believing that food was a vital source of energy for the body and a necessary guarantee for training and its results, he preferred to make the long trek to Suotuo City for every meal.

He also expressed clear resistance and opposition to Flender's educational philosophy—advocating for gambling, encouraging fighting, and the belief that "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre."

Fortunately, these disputes were eventually quelled, and no major conflicts erupted.

It wasn't until about three months after entering the academy that the most serious conflict broke out.

It was not about philosophy, disputes, or past grudges, but rather the selection of the team captain and who would hold the reins.

The Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City was willing to pay ten thousand Gold Soul Coins to invite Shrek to face the Imperial Fighting Academy on the main soul fighting stage the next day, and the money-grubbing Flender was unwilling to give up such an opportunity.

However, in all previous team soul fights, Shrek had always split into two four-man groups due to internal friction: Tang San leading Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, while Huang Tian led Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. Even if they lost due to being shorthanded, they refused to acknowledge each other.

The Imperial Fighting Academy was no ordinary team; four people would certainly be no match for them. But if seven were to compete, they would not only have to cut one member but also appoint a captain and commander.

Yu Xiaogang favored Tang San, citing his control-type status, while Huang Tian only recognized himself and absolutely refused to accept Tang San in the team, threatening to quit the academy otherwise. Flender tried to smooth things over by suggesting Dai Mubai to balance the two sides, but both refused.

With no resolution, Tang San challenged Huang Tian that night to a no-rules soul fight. In the heat of the battle, he suddenly unleashed a hidden weapon in a sneak attack.

However, Huang Tian, having anticipated this, switched to his second martial soul and struck him down, leaving him severely injured.

The Shrek team, and perhaps the entire academy, officially entered the era of Huang Tian. He was not only the sole captain and commander but also took on the duties of a coach and instructor.

Only Tang San was willing to accept guidance from Yu Xiaogang alone.

The dream then shifted into a series of short, fragmented scenes.

[Huang Tian orchestrated the elimination of the opponent's healer, Ye Lingling, at the very start of the battle, then relied on his heaven-defying healing and crowd-control abilities to narrowly defeat the Imperial Fighting Academy.]

[Due to a lack of slots for the Soul Master Tournament, Shrek, under the persuasion of Qin Ming, merged into the Imperial Fighting Academy as a second team.]

[One day, Dai Mubai, who had always assumed Xiao Wu was Huang Tian's only girlfriend and was still trying to curry favor with Zhu Zhuqing in hopes of rekindling their past, suddenly caught Huang Tian with his arms around both of them. After being beaten up, he left the Imperial Fighting Academy in a rage. Meanwhile, Tang San, having failed multiple times to challenge for the captaincy, became disheartened. Together with Yu Xiaogang, who was losing his voice in the team, the three of them joined the Blue Tyrant Academy.]

[Xiao Wu discovered that the relationship between Ning Rongrong and Huang Tian was extraordinary, differing significantly from that of a normal couple. This little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not only respectfully addressed Huang Tian as "Master" in private but also wore a collar-like accessory around her neck with Huang Tian's name engraved on the inside.]

[The Imperial Fighting Academy's first team lost to Shrek several more times, and its members grew curious about Huang Tian's training methods. However, after the incident with Yu Xiaogang, his awareness regarding the security of such information became extremely high. Only Dugu Yan was willing to provide toxicology books to teach him about poisons, and Ye Lingling, being a healing-type like him, would occasionally share a few pointers in private.]

[To challenge for the Soul Master Tournament championship, Huang Tian, under Flender's persuasion, absorbed three thousand-year soul rings for his second martial soul. After his soul power reached level forty, the fourth soul rings for both of his martial souls were absorbed from ten-thousand-year soul beasts.]

[While attempting to help Dugu Yan resolve the toxins in her body, Huang Tian discovered that some of the miraculous plants in Dugu Bo's herb garden shared characteristics with the strange flower he had consumed long ago.]

[After obtaining Dugu Bo's consent, and on the condition of helping him detoxify, he gained the right to use the strange flowers. Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Ye Lingling each received one. Not only did their soul power surge significantly in a short time, but their martial souls and cultivation talents also evolved to varying degrees. Among them, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent evolved into a dragon, and Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.]

Ever since Huang Tian seized the captaincy, the dream had entered a "power fantasy" phase, and even though she wasn't the protagonist, the rabbit watched with great relish.

Until this point:

[Huang Tian confessed to Xiao Wu that he had long discovered she was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form, but his feelings for her had not changed in the slightest. To avoid exposing her identity, he strongly urged her to return to the Star Dou Forest to hide on the eve of the Soul Master Tournament.]

The immense shock caused the rabbit's heart to stop for a split second, her head buzzing.

But immediately after, she was completely enveloped by an even greater sense of joy.

The deepest worry in her heart—or rather, her greatest long-standing anxiety—had been resolved. Both inside and outside the vision, she wept with joy, trembling with excitement.

The rabbit shouted in her heart:

"Hahaha, Huang Tian—no, Brother Tian, I really didn't misjudge you."

Xiao Wu hugged Huang Tian with all her might, tears streaming down her face as she said:

"I know you're just a lecherous guy, and Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling would have fallen into your clutches sooner or later anyway, but it doesn't matter. Xiao Wu forgives you."

Hearing this, Huang Tian was also taken aback.

"You... how did you know?"

"Hmph, you guys always think I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid at all. Most of the time, I'm incredibly sharp."

A smug smile hung on the corner of Xiao Wu's mouth, looking for all the world like she thought she was very clever.

The rabbit could clearly sense the extreme joy in the other's heart.

That was not just happiness, but also trust and reliance.

All panic suddenly dissipated, and all worries vanished into thin air.

"Although Huang Tian is a bit lecherous, it is precisely because of that lechery that he doesn't care that I am a Soul Beast. As long as I am pretty, what do other aspects matter to him?"

"The rule of the Soul Beasts is that the strong are kings. Huang Tian is so powerful, so what if he has a few more girlfriends? That is what he deserves."

[Huang Tian is going to dominate the world and conquer the realm; wouldn't it be perfectly normal for him to have a harem once he becomes Emperor?]

Sensing Xiao Wu's inner thoughts, the rabbit could not help but nod.

"That's right, that is the logic."
