Xiao Xiao Visits, Proactively Invites

"Take a bath?"

"Go ahead and wash if you want. I'm not going to peek."

"Besides, yours isn't even as big as mine, so what would there be to see?"

"And there's a public bathroom at the end of the hallway, it's not like I'm stopping you from using it."

Chu Feng shrugged, pretending to be speechless.

"No... I... you... ah~~~"

Wang Dong was on the verge of tears.

He was currently disguised as a boy, but he couldn't say that. Was he supposed to just expose his identity now and transfer to the girls' dormitory?

That was absolutely impossible!!

He still needed to get revenge on Chu Feng. Furthermore, after being insulted like this by him, if anyone found out he was a girl, he would be the laughingstock of everyone else...

But after the morning's battle, his body was soaked in sweat and reeking. He had even fallen into a flower bed, dirtying his clothes and pants. He had a severe case of mysophobia; there was no way he could go to bed like this. He had to take a bath!

Chu Feng watched Wang Dong struggle and found it amusing, though he had no intention of peeking.

Wang Dong was just a tiny thing right now, flat as a board and plain as day. There really wasn't anything to look at.

Unable to stand the stench on his body any longer, Wang Dong finally compromised. He glared fiercely at Chu Feng and warned him through gritted teeth, "Then... you are not allowed to peek while I bathe!!"

Chu Feng couldn't be bothered to respond and continued his cultivation in silence.

Soon, rustling sounds began to drift through the room.

Although Chu Feng didn't look, he could hear the noise, and it wasn't the sound of clothes being removed.

He quietly used his spiritual power to scan the area and realized that Wang Dong was using an extra quilt to fashion a curtain.

Since the small balcony wasn't enclosed and didn't even have a door, Wang Dong had to improvise.

It took half an hour for Wang Dong to set up the makeshift curtain, but at least it blocked the view.

After a while, Wang Dong confirmed that Chu Feng was deep in meditation before he started running the water...

Once the tub was full, the rustling sounds returned—this time, it was truly the sound of clothes being taken off.

Chu Feng withdrew his spiritual perception and focused on his own cultivation.

The Mystic Ice Art was currently the most suitable technique for him. It could produce significant results in a short time; just by condensing an ice whip and combining it with his own physical strength, he could beat Wang Dong into total submission. It was quite impressive.

Beyond that, he wouldn't neglect his practice of the Heavenly Derivation Scripture.

His soul power had long reached level 30, but he hadn't absorbed a third soul ring because he hadn't found a suitable one at the time.

Although he couldn't level up without a soul ring, the soul power he cultivated wouldn't vanish. Instead, it was stored as potential within his body, ready to erupt once he leveled up, potentially allowing him to surge straight to level 40.

Moreover, both his soul rings and his physical body could store vast amounts of soul power. Even though he was only level 30, his internal reserves were essentially at the level of a Soul Emperor, giving him incredible stamina.

Additionally, the God and Demon Body Tempering Art required a large amount of soul beast meat and rare treasures to assist, so that could be put on hold until he started his money-making scheme.

He also hadn't slacked off on the Star Contemplation Method. Practicing this technique could directly replace sleep, and it was most effective at night.

No matter how hard an ordinary soul master worked, they still needed at least four or five hours of sleep, but thanks to this technique, he could go his whole life without sleeping. Because of his powerful spiritual force, he didn't even feel drowsy. It was flawless.

Finally, there was the reward he received after shocking Wang Dong—a 100% cultivation speed bonus.

With so many buffs, he should be able to tear Tang San apart in a few years without needing any protection or concealment from the system.

"Glug, glug~"

On the balcony, Wang Dong crouched in the tub, bathing with his heart in his throat. Every few moments, he would lift the curtain to see if Chu Feng was peeking.

But he was overthinking it; Chu Feng really didn't have the interest.

If Ma Xiaotao were the one bathing, Chu Feng might not have been able to resist a peek... but as for Wang Dong? Forget it, there was nothing there.

An hour later, Wang Dong finally finished his sluggish bath.

Fortunately, Chu Feng had a high resistance to distractions and could ignore the outside world while cultivating, otherwise, Wang Dong would have been in for a sound beating even after his bath.

"He can actually keep cultivating through all that, what a freak..." Wang Dong muttered softly as he watched Chu Feng, who was still radiating cold air while meditating.

At that moment, Chu Feng caught the soft mutter. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Wang Dong, who had just finished bathing and was wearing white pajamas.

Wang Dong's blue-pink short hair was dripping wet. Even though he had taken a cold shower, perhaps due to his nerves, his small face was still flushed, making him look rather cute.

"Hmph~ What are you looking at? Never seen such a handsome boy before?" Sensing Chu Feng's gaze, Wang Dong huffed, dove onto his own bed, and fell asleep almost instantly.

He was exhausted. He had traveled for days to reach Shrek Academy, only to be beaten up for no reason, and he hadn't eaten breakfast. He was sleepy as death now. As for lunch... he'd worry about that after a good nap.

Seeing this, Chu Feng just shook his head slightly and returned to his cultivation state.

The meditation lasted until noon.

Chu Feng was just about to head to the cafeteria for a meal when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

"Who is it?"

Chu Feng asked curiously, then released his spiritual power to check, and was immediately stunned...

"Hello, is anyone there?"

A delicate, sweet voice drifted in from the doorway.

Chu Feng stood up to open the Space Gate, and sure enough, the person standing there was none other than the little loli who had come to break up the fight that morning—Xiao Xiao.

"Who are you, and what do you need?"

Although Chu Feng had already guessed her identity, he naturally pretended not to know.

As the door opened, the little loli looked up at Chu Feng and was momentarily stunned, two words flashing through her mind: So handsome!

Because Chu Feng had just finished cultivating, a trace of icy soul power still lingered around him, giving him an indescribable air of cold detachment. Combined with his handsome face and a height a head and a half taller than Xiao Xiao, he appeared all the more aloof.

Xiao Xiao had already been drawn to Chu Feng's charm, and feeling his temperament now, her little face instantly flushed red.

"I... I'm called Xiao Xiao..."

"Since I'm in Freshman Class One just like you, I... I wanted to get to know you in advance..."

Xiao Xiao kept her head down, blushing as she spoke in a stammer.

She wasn't making up an excuse; she genuinely wanted to get to know Chu Feng and Wang Dong beforehand.

She had received news that the Freshman Assessment would be a team combat trial. She possessed Twin Martial Souls, and while she leaned toward support, her control capabilities were not weak. Naturally, the only ones she had her eye on were Chu Feng and Wang Dong, so she had taken advantage of their brief meeting that morning to see if there was a chance to connect. Who knew? Perhaps they would be combat partners when the Freshman Assessment arrived.

"Heh, since we're in the same class, we're classmates from now on. It just so happens to be mealtime, so let's go grab a bite together~" Seeing Xiao Xiao being so proactive, Chu Feng naturally wouldn't refuse, flashing her a brilliant smile that felt like a breath of fresh spring air.

"Okay, sure~"

"You can call your roommate along too, my treat~"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, and she became even more eager to invite Wang Dong along.

After all, the news of Chu Feng and Wang Dong fighting had already spread throughout the Freshman Dormitory Area, and the fact that they were roommates had been quickly uncovered by others.

"Alright, Wang Dong, get up and eat."

Chu Feng nodded and called out into the dormitory.

"I'm not going, stop bothering me while I sleep!"

Wang Dong grumbled, his tone filled with heavy resentment.

He had naturally heard the conversation between Chu Feng and Xiao Xiao, but he didn't like making friends with people, and that Xiao Xiao looked so tiny—he could tell at a glance she wasn't strong, so why would he befriend someone like that?

"Good grief, you're pushing your luck, aren't you?"

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow, casually condensed a lump of ice, and tossed it directly into Wang Dong's bed.

Wang Dong: !!!! "Ahhhhhh Chu Feng, I'm going to fight you to the death!!"
