"Take a bath?"
"Go ahead. I'm not going to peek."
"Besides, you're not as big as me anyway. What's there to look at?"
"And there's a public bath at the end of the corridor outside. It's not like you can't use it."
Chu Feng shrugged, pretending to be exasperated.
"No... I... you... Aaaaah~~~"
Wang Dong was practically on the verge of tears.
He was disguised as a boy, but he couldn't tell Chu Feng. Was he supposed to reveal his identity right now and transfer to the girls' dormitory?
That was absolutely impossible!!
He still had to get revenge on Chu Feng. And after being humiliated by him like this, if people found out he was a girl, the others would laugh him to death...
But he was already soaked in sweat from the morning's fight, and he reeked. He'd even fallen into a flower bed, so his clothes and pants were filthy. He'd always had a serious case of mysophobia; there was no way he could get into bed like this and rest. He had to take a bath!
Watching Wang Dong get stumped amused Chu Feng, but he had no interest in peeking.
Wang Dong was just a little thing right now, with nothing to speak of. He was as flat as a board—not much to look at.
Wang Dong really couldn't stand how foul he smelled, so in the end he gave in. He glared fiercely at Chu Feng and gritted out a warning. "Then... don't you dare peek while I'm bathing!!"
Chu Feng couldn't be bothered to answer and quietly continued cultivating.
Before long, rustling sounds came from the room again.
Chu Feng didn't look, but he could hear the sounds—and they weren't the sounds of someone taking off their clothes.
He quietly used his mental power to scan the area, only to discover that Wang Dong was making a curtain out of the spare blankets.
After all, the little balcony wasn't enclosed and didn't even have a door, so Wang Dong had to make one himself.
It took Wang Dong half an hour to put together a simple curtain. At least it blocked the view.
A while later, after making sure Chu Feng was cultivating, Wang Dong finally started filling the tub...
Only after the tub was full did rustling sounds come from behind the curtain. This time, he really was taking off his clothes...
Chu Feng withdrew his mental perception and focused on his cultivation.
The Mystic Ice Art was the technique best suited to him at the moment. It could be extremely useful in a short time. Just by condensing an Ice Whip and combining it with his physical strength, he'd been able to beat Wang Dong until she couldn't fight back. It was quite effective.
He wouldn't neglect cultivating the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, either.
His Soul Power had long since reached level 30. Back then, he simply hadn't had a good choice, so he hadn't absorbed a third Soul Ring.
Without a Soul Ring, he couldn't level up, but the Soul Power he cultivated wouldn't disappear. It would instead be stored as potential within his body and erupt when he leveled up next time, perhaps even pushing him straight to level 40.
Moreover, both his Soul Rings and his body could store a tremendous amount of Soul Power. Though he was only level 30, his reserves were basically on par with a Soul Emperor's. His stamina was astonishing.
On top of that, cultivating the God and Demon Body Tempering Art required a large amount of Soul Beast flesh and rare treasures to assist the process. He could put that off until he started his money-making plan.
He also hadn't neglected cultivating the Star Contemplation Method. Practicing this technique could replace sleep, and it worked best at night.
No matter how hard an ordinary Soul Master worked, they still needed at least four or five hours of sleep. But with this technique, he could go his entire life without sleeping. His powerful mental strength even kept him from feeling drowsy. He was practically flawless.
Finally, there was the reward he'd received for shocking Wang Dong: a 100% increase to his cultivation speed.
With all these buffs, he should be able to tear Tang San apart with his bare hands in a few years. He had no need for the system's so-called protection or concealment.
"Glug, glug~"
On the balcony, Wang Dong crouched in the tub, bathing with his heart in his throat. Every so often, he had to lift the curtain and check whether Chu Feng was peeking.
But he was worrying over nothing. Chu Feng truly wasn't in the mood.
If Ma Xiaotao were bathing, Chu Feng might not be able to resist peeking... But if it was Wang Dong, then forget it. There was nothing to see.
An hour later, Wang Dong finally finished bathing, taking his time the whole way through.
Fortunately, Chu Feng was good at shutting out distractions and could completely ignore the outside world while cultivating. Otherwise, even after Wang Dong finished bathing, she still would've gotten a sound beating.
"He can actually keep cultivating through all that. What a weirdo..." Wang Dong muttered under her breath as she looked at Chu Feng, who was still cultivating with cold air radiating from his body.
At that moment, Chu Feng noticed Wang Dong muttering softly. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Wang Dong standing in front of him, freshly bathed and wearing white pajamas.
Wang Dong had just finished bathing. Her blue-and-pink hair was damp, and though she'd used cold water, perhaps because she was nervous, her little face was still flushed red. She looked rather cute.
"Hmph~ What are you looking at? Never seen such a handsome boy before?" Wang Dong noticed Chu Feng looking at her and gave a soft snort. She promptly burrowed into her own bed and fell asleep. Before long, she was fast asleep.
She was completely worn out. She'd spent days traveling to Shrek Academy, gotten beaten up for no reason, and hadn't even eaten breakfast. She was exhausted. As for lunch... She'd sleep until she felt rested first.
Seeing this, Chu Feng only shook his head gently before returning to his cultivation.
He cultivated until noon.
Chu Feng was just about to head to the cafeteria for lunch when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?"
Chu Feng asked curiously, then released his mental power to check. He froze...
"Hello, is anyone there?"
A sweet, delicate voice came from outside the door.
Chu Feng got up and opened it. Sure enough, the visitor was the little girl who'd tried to break up the fight that morning—Xiao Xiao.
"Who are you? What do you need?"
Although Chu Feng had guessed who she was, he naturally pretended not to know.
The little girl looked up at Chu Feng as he opened the door, then froze. Two words flashed through her mind—So handsome!
Chu Feng had just finished cultivating, and a trace of his icy Soul Power still lingered around him. He had an indescribably cold and stern air about him. Combined with his handsome face and the fact that he stood a head and a half taller than Xiao Xiao, he seemed even more aloof.
Xiao Xiao had already been drawn to Chu Feng's charm. Now, feeling the force of his presence, her little face immediately turned red.
"I... I'm Xiao Xiao..."
"Since I'm in Freshman Class One too, just like you, I... I wanted to get to know you beforehand..."
Xiao Xiao lowered her head, her face red as she stammered.
She wasn't just making up an excuse. She really did want to get to know Chu Feng and Wang Dong ahead of time.
She'd heard that the Freshman Assessment would be a team battle. She had Twin Martial Souls and leaned toward support, but her control abilities weren't weak either. The only people she thought worth approaching were Chu Feng and Wang Dong. So she'd seized the chance after meeting them that morning to see if she could get to know them. Who knew? Maybe they'd be fighting together during the Freshman Assessment...
"Heh, since we're in the same class, we'll be classmates from now on. It's about lunchtime, so why don't we go grab a meal together~" Seeing how proactive Xiao Xiao was, Chu Feng naturally didn't refuse. He gave her a radiant smile that made her feel as if a warm spring breeze had brushed past her.
"Sure, sure~"
"You can invite your roommate too. It's my treat~"
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up at his words. She wanted to invite Wang Dong along as well.
After all, news of Chu Feng and Wang Dong's fight had already spread throughout the Freshman Dormitory Area. It hadn't taken long for everyone to dig up the fact that the two were roommates.
"Fine. Wang Dong, get up and come eat."
Chu Feng nodded and called into the dormitory.
"I'm not going. Don't bother me while I'm sleeping!"
Wang Dong's voice came muffled from the bed, full of resentment.
She'd naturally heard Chu Feng and Xiao Xiao talking, but she'd never liked making friends. Besides, Xiao Xiao looked so tiny; she was obviously not very strong. Why would she make friends with someone like that?
"Well, look at you, getting all high and mighty, huh?"
Chu Feng raised an eyebrow and casually condensed a lump of ice, tossing it straight into Wang Dong's blankets.
Wang Dong:!!!! "Aaaaah! Chu Feng, I'll fight you to the death!!"
