Plotting Against Tang San

"You..."

Rogue Rabbit had not expected Su Mo to be so ungrateful, and embarrassment and anger flashed across her face.

"I'm the dorm leader. What I say goes here!"

Rogue Rabbit declared forcefully, lifting her chin.

"Then I'll expose your secret!"

Su Mo chuckled and whispered softly into her ear.

"Hmph, fine, I won't sleep there. You think I'm dying to sleep with you?"

Rogue Rabbit glared at Su Mo and snorted.

Still, Rogue Rabbit did not return to Tang San's side. Instead, she took the bed beside Su Mo, driving its occupant back to her original bed.

Rogue Rabbit had previously been rather close to Tang San not only because he was outstanding, but also because he felt familiar to her.

But now, she was more curious about Su Mo, so Tang San was tossed to the back of her mind.

She only wanted to get closer to Su Mo so she could learn about the latest progress of his self-created Soul Rings as soon as possible.

Su Mo found this rather troubling, but he said nothing more.

In any case, he would not be staying at this academy for long.

Soul Beasts had already gone extinct. Most of what Soul Master Academies taught would soon become useless.

For example, knowledge about identifying Soul Beasts, or which Soul Beast was more likely to grant which Soul Skill upon absorption...

"Lights out, lights out!"

"Everyone, get ready to cultivate!"

"Now that the Soul Power in the air has surged, our cultivation speed has increased severalfold. We should work even harder!"

"Yeah. I might not have reached Rank 10 before graduation before, but at this rate, there's definitely no problem..."

"Me too..."

"At this rate, I'll reach Rank 10 by fourth grade..."

"I might break through in third grade..."

"..."

After the lights went out, the students in the dormitory were all fired up and began cultivating diligently.

Once one's cultivation speed increased by several times, cultivating became addictive.

The thrill of cultivating several times faster than usual was simply intoxicating. Every casual cultivation session felt like a huge profit.

Su Mo began cultivating as well.

In the entire dormitory, only Rogue Rabbit lay down to sleep after pretending to cultivate for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, the other students gradually stopped cultivating and went to sleep as well.

When Su Mo finally stopped cultivating, he found that Tang San was indeed the only one still cultivating in the dormitory.

No matter what, Tang San was truly diligent when it came to cultivation.

But that made Su Mo even more certain of one thing.

Tang San's early cultivation aptitude was actually quite ordinary. The only reason he could maintain the cultivation speed of a genius with Innate Full Soul Power was because he relied on his Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Mysterious Heaven Skill...

Su Mo's heart burned with desire.

If he had a cultivation technique like the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he could surely accumulate enough Soul Power to condense Soul Rings much faster.

Then Su Mo stopped cultivating and simply watched Tang San cultivate.

[Ding~ By observing Tang San's cultivation, the host has gained a trace of new insight into cultivation techniques...]

There was hope!

Su Mo was delighted. As he observed Tang San's cultivation, he tried to recall every description of meridians he had read in novels in his previous life.

But Su Mo quickly discovered that he could not remember anything.

At most, he remembered the names of only a few acupoints.

That was basically useless for Su Mo's attempt to create his own cultivation technique.

Instead, the biological knowledge in his memories about the structure of the human body gave Su Mo some additional insight.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, on creating a new cultivation technique. Please name it!]

A complete cultivation technique soon appeared in Su Mo's mind.

After sensing it, Su Mo found that this cultivation technique was much better than the previous Meditation Method, but only to a limited degree.

After all, Su Mo had not observed a true Internal Energy Method like the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

It would be great if I could learn Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill. Through the system, I could completely create an even higher-level one.

Thinking this, Su Mo's gaze involuntarily fell on Rogue Rabbit in the bed beside him.

If anyone could obtain the Mysterious Heaven Skill from Tang San, Rogue Rabbit undoubtedly had the highest chance of success.

Even if she could not obtain it, it would still be good to get some knowledge about Internal Energy Methods from Tang San.

With that thought, Su Mo, who had originally not wanted to pay Xiao Wu any attention, began to feel that this Rogue Rabbit had considerable value.

"Not only the cultivation techniques Tang San practices, but Rogue Rabbit herself has also mastered some Soul Skills!"

"Soul Masters gain Soul Skills by absorbing Soul Rings. They might not understand the principles behind them, but Soul Beasts themselves definitely know those principles—at the very least, more thoroughly than Soul Masters do!"

"Soul Beasts have already gone extinct. I'll need to create my own Soul Skills in the future, so I should keep plucking this Rogue Rabbit's fur."

"If I can really create life-saving Soul Skills like Teleportation, Invincible Golden Body, and Intangibility, I'll have struck it rich!"

"These Soul Skills are extremely useful no matter what realm one is in!"

So, beginning the next day, Su Mo no longer kept Rogue Rabbit at arm's length when she took the initiative to approach him.

When Xiao Wu pressed him about the progress of his self-created Soul Rings, Su Mo also revealed a little, keeping Xiao Wu curious about him.

"Xiao Wu, you're close to Tang San. Have you noticed that the Meditation Method he practices is different from ours?"

"I feel like his cultivation speed is much faster!"

At an appropriate moment, Su Mo brought up Tang San.

But he did not say much, only expressing his curiosity.

Previously, however, he had already revealed that if he wanted to successfully condense Soul Rings, he needed to accumulate Soul Power.

If he had a better cultivation technique, he could certainly accumulate enough Soul Power faster.

At first, Su Mo had been worried that Xiao Wu might not be smart enough to think of that.

But he had clearly underestimated her.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Wu was quite intelligent.

"You want me to trick Tang San out of his cultivation technique, right?"

Not only had Xiao Wu figured it out, she directly exposed Su Mo's scheme.

"Cough, cough~"

Su Mo was embarrassed. He had not expected Xiao Wu to be so sharp.

Wasn't this Rogue Rabbit supposed to be stupid and clumsy?

"I'm just interested in anything related to cultivation. Tang San seems cold toward everyone, but he treats you differently, so I wanted to see whether you could ask him about anything..."

Since she had seen through him, Su Mo no longer tried to hide it.

"Hmph, you're such a bad person!"

Xiao Wu raised her head to glare at Su Mo, wrinkled her nose, and huffed.

Then Xiao Wu lifted her proud chin again. "But I like it. Just wait for good news from Sister Xiao Wu!"

After saying that, Rogue Rabbit turned and skipped away.

Although she had discovered that Su Mo had been scheming against her, Xiao Wu was not unhappy at all.

She only found this human brat, Su Mo, even more interesting.
