Xiao Wu's head buzzed, as if ten thousand bees were dancing frantically inside her mind.
She widened her eyes, her gaze locked firmly onto Tang Wu's delicate, adorable face, which was currently filled with terror.
Memories of her past life flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
The Tang San who wore his hair in a sharp, professional cut, possessed deep eyes, and always kept his hands hidden in his sleeves, ready to fire hidden weapons at any moment;
The Thousand-Hand Asura who was full of wicked schemes and could plot against others without even blinking;
The man who had sworn in the Star Dou Forest to protect her, only to force her into a sacrifice in the end.
How could he have turned into this soft girl before her eyes?!
Xiao Wu's breathing grew rapid. She rubbed her eyes hard, trying to prove whether she was suffering from hallucinations as a side effect of her rebirth.
Yet, when she opened her eyes again, she still saw that soft, cute loli hiding behind Su Yu, shivering.
"You... what did you say your name was?"
Xiao Wu's voice was distorted, trembling with disbelief.
"My name is Tang Wu... my nickname is Xiao San..."
Tang Wu was terrified by the cannibalistic look in Xiao Wu's eyes; she shrank further behind Su Yu, peeking out at her timidly with only one eye.
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Xiao Wu roared frantically in her heart.
There were plenty of people named Xiao San on the Douluo Continent; this had to be a coincidence!
The sinister and cunning Tang San could absolutely not have turned into a delicate girl who didn't even dare to speak loudly!
Refusing to believe it, she lunged forward.
Her speed was incredible. The physical prowess of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had chosen to re-cultivate was displayed to the fullest, leaving almost nothing but a pink afterimage in her wake.
Su Yu's eyes flickered slightly, but he keenly sensed that there was no killing intent in Xiao Wu, only a manic urgency to verify the truth.
He did not move to block her, merely shifting his body slightly to let Xiao Wu reach Tang Wu.
Xiao Wu grabbed Tang Wu's right hand.
"Ah! It hurts..."
Tang Wu let out a cry of surprise and tried to pull away, but Xiao Wu's grip was shockingly strong, locking onto her wrist like iron pincers.
"Release your martial soul! Hurry up!"
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, ordering with an urgent tone.
Tang Wu was so scared that tears fell instantly; she looked at Su Yu for help.
Su Yu gave her a reassuring look and nodded slightly.
Only then did Tang Wu sob aggrievedly, slowly circulating the Innate Full Soul Power within her.
A faint blue light ignited in her palm.
Immediately after, a small, crystal-clear, light blue blade of grass grew slowly from her palm.
The blade swayed gently with the fluctuations of her soul power, emitting a faint aura of life.
Blue Silver Grass.
The most standard trash martial soul on the Douluo Continent.
Xiao Wu looked at that Blue Silver Grass, then looked up at Tang Wu's beautiful face—which was so aggrieved she was about to cry—and those large, watery eyes filled with fear.
Blue hair, Blue Silver Grass martial soul, nickname Xiao San.
All the traits matched.
The only difference was that the gender had changed, the personality had changed, and even that sinister, cunning aura had vanished entirely, replaced by a pure, naive sweetheart.
Xiao Wu was completely shattered.
The worldview of the reborn girl collapsed in that instant.
The grand revenge plan she had painstakingly plotted, the Son of the Plane she had been obsessed with taking as her lackey, the Explosive Killing Eight-Stage Throw she had prepared—it had all become a massive joke.
How could she bring herself to attack a soft, cute loli who cried at the slightest touch?
Xiao Wu let go, as if she had lost all the strength in her body.
She stumbled back two steps, her high-standing rabbit ears drooping powerlessly.
She turned around and walked unsteadily to the corner of Dorm Seven, burying her head in her arms and squatting down against the wall.
"Impossible... there must be a mistake somewhere..."
Xiao Wu buried her face in her knees, muttering incessantly, her voice filled with despair and confusion.
"My Tang San brother couldn't possibly be this cute... he was clearly a scheming old fox full of wicked tricks..."
"Are you playing with me, Heavens? I was reborn just to beat him up, and now that you've turned him into this, how am I supposed to lay a hand on him..."
"It's over, it's all over. My plan to become the big sister has died before it even began..."
Xiao Wu muttered to herself, extending a finger to draw circles in the dust-covered floor.
Her back looked as desolate as could be, as if the entire world had abandoned her.
The other work-study students in the dormitory were all dumbfounded.
Wang Sheng swallowed hard, reached out to poke his underling, and lowered his voice: "Is... is there something wrong with this new girl's head? She was acting fierce and ready to fight just a moment ago, so why did she run to the corner to crouch down after seeing that girl's martial soul?"
The underling was equally bewildered: "I don't know, Boss. Maybe she was triggered by something. Look at her muttering away; doesn't she look like that crazy widow at the end of the village?"
"Shh! Keep it down! What if she goes crazy and starts hitting people again!"
Wang Sheng quickly covered the underling's mouth. The group watched Xiao Wu, who was still crouching in the corner drawing circles, as if she were a fool, and no one dared to take a single step closer.
Su Yu stood where he was, watching the comical sight of Xiao Wu's worldview collapsing, a flash of brilliance crossing his eyes.
He activated the Eye of Truth without a sound.
Brilliant golden light swirled deep within his pupils, his gaze piercing directly through Xiao Wu's body.
Sure enough, above Xiao Wu's head, it was completely clean, with no trace of any system panel.
But this did not mean Xiao Wu was an ordinary person.
In the vision of the Eye of Truth, Xiao Wu's soul fluctuations were extremely abnormal—a sense of dissonance, as if something that had experienced long, arduous years had been forcibly stuffed into a young body.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast reborn with memories of a past life, a Hooligan Rabbit.
Su Yu quickly calculated in his heart.
In this Douluo Continent, which had been riddled like a sieve by all sorts of bizarre systems, he possessed the Conceptual Eraser as a trump card to counter systems, but each use consumed a massive amount of soul power.
If he encountered those cheat-users who didn't play by the rules, or faced a group attack, his current strength would still be stretched thin.
And this Xiao Wu before him was simply a top-tier fighter delivered to his doorstep by the heavens!
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast undergoing re-cultivation, with a powerful physical body and rich combat experience; most importantly, she had no system!
No system meant she wouldn't be driven by those messy, chaotic tasks, and her behavioral logic was controllable.
As long as he could win her over, he wouldn't need to waste his soul power erasing systems when encountering low-level cheat-users in the future; he could just close the door and release the rabbit.
Thinking of this, a subtle smile curled the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
He turned his head and softly comforted Tang Wu, who was still wiping away tears: "Xiao San, be good, it's alright. Go find a clean bed over there and sit for a while; I'm going to have a chat with her."
Tang Wu nodded obediently. Although she was still a bit scared, Su Yu's words were like an imperial decree to her.
She cautiously walked over to an empty bed furthest from Xiao Wu and sat down, her gaze tightly following Su Yu.
Su Yu took a step forward, walking unhurriedly toward Xiao Wu, who was still crouching in the corner drawing circles.
