Terrifying Mechanics, Begin Correcting Them

After some selection, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu chose rooms on opposite sides of the stairs on the sixth floor.

Yu Yan stayed to the left of the stairs, while Xiao Wu stayed to the right.

They chose this place for two reasons. First, the top floor had fewer people and was quieter. Second, it was close to the rooftop, allowing them to go up and cultivate whenever they wanted.

After making their beds, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu wandered around Balak Junior Soul Master Academy.

Balak Junior Soul Master Academy was neither especially large nor especially small. After wandering around for an entire morning, Yu Yan gained a deeper understanding of the academy where they would be living in the future.

The cafeteria was large, and the food tasted pretty good.

The library was not small either, and its collection could barely be considered extensive.

The noble students truly did look down on commoners. Yu Yan and Xiao Wu could tell from the undisguised expressions in the eyes of those lavishly dressed students whenever they passed by.

Xiao Wu angrily wanted to go over and beat them up, but Yu Yan pulled her back and told her there was no need to stoop to the level of a bunch of brats.

Yu Yan tugged along the still somewhat angry Xiao Wu and brought her to the library. He wanted to look up some information and find a soul beast suitable for himself.

"Yu Yan, I really don't want to read. And this book is so thick!"

Inside the library, Xiao Wu looked at the book placed before her, then gazed pitifully at Yu Yan, hoping he would spare her.

The book in front of Xiao Wu was Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Master Cultivation Insights, which Yu Yan had unexpectedly found in this library. It was written by a level 45 agility-attack Soul Ancestor.

"No. You need to read at least some of it. That way, you can understand your Martial Soul better and know what Soul Rings and development path you should choose in the future."

Faced with Xiao Wu's refusal, Yu Yan ruthlessly refused her refusal.

At the same time, Yu Yan understood that she could not possibly finish the entire book anytime soon, so he revealed his real purpose. "How about this? I won't make you finish the whole book. Just read two pages today."

Xiao Wu was just a child. If he directly told her to finish an entire book, she definitely would not be willing.

But when she protested, he could take a step back and ask her to read only two pages. Then she would not have many complaints and might even think he was quite nice.

"Only two pages?"

Xiao Wu looked at the two thin pages, and her resolve began to waver.

Yu Yan smiled as his scheme succeeded and nodded firmly. "Mm, that's right. Just these two pages today."

"Alright, then I'll read two pages."

Xiao Wu nodded and agreed to Yu Yan's request. She lowered her gaze to the book and began reading seriously.

Poor Xiao Wu had never, from beginning to end, considered the option of simply standing up and leaving.

Seeing Xiao Wu seriously reading the book, he turned his attention to Continent Soul Beast Introduction in front of him and searched for soul beasts that suited him.

Yu Yan's main purpose in making Xiao Wu read was to first let her learn about the development paths chosen by other Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul masters, then bring up the development path he had envisioned during his discussions with her.

In Yu Yan's eyes, most of Xiao Wu's Soul Skill choices completely wasted her potential.

An ordinary Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, no matter what Soul Rings it absorbed, could never produce four abilities as outrageously powerful as Invincible Golden Body, Teleportation, Void, and Martial Soul Avatar clones.

Third Spirit Skill—Teleportation. Instantly move within five meters, with its range increasing alongside Soul Power.

Fourth Spirit Skill—Invincible Golden Body. The most memed and most powerful Soul Skill, granting three seconds of invincible defense below God Rank. It could also gain another second for every ten levels.

Sixth Spirit Skill—Void. Immune to all non-energy physical attacks and weakened any energy attack by fifty percent.

Seventh Spirit Skill—Martial Soul Avatar. Created seven clones, each possessing seventy percent of her abilities and all capable of using her Soul Skills.

After seeing these four absurdly powerful mechanics, who would dare say Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul was an ordinary Soft Bone Rabbit? What Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul could be this ridiculous?

In Yu Yan's view, Xiao Wu clearly had the potential to use these abilities as her core and become the most terrifying, most disgusting mechanics-based fighter, yet she insisted on building her combat system around Soft Technique. It was like throwing away a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds, a complete waste of her talent.

Now that Xiao Wu was on Yu Yan's side, he had to change her shameful behavior of wasting her own talent and train her into a true mechanics monster.

As for Yu Yan's soul beast choices, he needed to lean as much as possible toward dragon-type and sub-dragon soul beasts with both ice and fire attributes.

Fish transforming into a flood dragon, flood dragon transforming into a true dragon—this was a very clear evolutionary path. Besides, the dragons of Douluo Continent were all powerful.

Sunlight streamed through the window, falling upon Yu Yan as he read and upon Xiao Wu, who was sprawled across the table and snoring soundly. The scene carried a peaceful feeling of tranquil days.

A well-rested Xiao Wu opened her eyes. She saw Yu Yan intently staring at the book before him. Serious Yu Yan was even more handsome than usual, and her heart beat much faster than normal.

Sensing someone staring at him, Yu Yan followed that gaze and discovered Xiao Wu looking at him without blinking.

From his angle, Xiao Wu's bangs were slightly messy. Her reddened eyes were utterly pure, and sunlight had tinted her round, fair cheeks with a warm glow. She looked a little cute—no, not a little cute. She was unbelievably cute, making him want to go over and pinch her cheeks.

Realizing his thoughts were inappropriate, Yu Yan shook his head, trying to fling the thought out of his mind.

Watching Yu Yan shake his head, Xiao Wu's clear awareness returned. Her brows furrowed slightly, as though she were wondering why Yu Yan was shaking his head.

Feeling somewhat guilty and unwilling to discuss the matter, Yu Yan asked before Xiao Wu could. "Xiao Wu, what do you think after reading those two pages? Do you have any thoughts about your future development path?"

"Ahh, so you made me read that book because you wanted to help me choose Soul Rings."

Only now did Xiao Wu understand Yu Yan's true purpose. As she spoke of this, she patted her flat chest.

"You don't need to worry about that. I already chose my First Spirit Skill long ago."

No.

That was exactly why he needed to worry.

"Oh, you've already chosen? What Soul Skill are you planning to select?"

Following Xiao Wu's words, Yu Yan guided her into explaining her Soul Skill arrangements, so he could naturally bring up his own ideas.

"You've already seen my Soft Technique, Yu Yan. It's powerful, right?"

Yu Yan had not only seen Soft Technique—he had been thrown by it. He knew it well.

Seeing Yu Yan nod, Xiao Wu continued explaining her plans.

"I'm planning to choose a Soul Skill that strengthens Soft Technique. Mm, one that increases waist strength by one hundred percent, so I can maximize the power of Soft Technique. Then it would increase my body's flexibility by fifty percent, allowing me to pull off even more unexpected moves in close combat."
