First Spar! Zhu Zhuqing: Have I Become a Bastard?

"Your Martial Soul actually contained the power of lightning?"

Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face flushed crimson as she simply could not believe her eyes.

As the daughter of nobility, she had seen no small number of Martial Souls.

But this was also her first time seeing a lightning-type Martial Soul.

"What? I can't have a lightning Martial Soul?"

"Even with a lightning Martial Soul, I still couldn't stop you from peeping at my body and stealing my roast pig."

Hearing Zhou Tao's words, Zhu Zhuqing's little face instantly stiffened.

She had actually become a thief.

A peeping bastard?

"You..."

Zhu Zhuqing's little face darkened with anger. Her icy gaze fixed on Zhou Tao, and her chest trembled with rage.

In all her life, she had never encountered someone so shameless.

Her detached composure instantly shattered.

Martial Soul Possession.

Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul was the Hell Spirit Cat.

After possessing her, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes changed color at the same time—her left eye turned dark green, her right eye clear blue. Her long hair naturally lay flat against her back as her body moved rapidly through the woods, leaving a faint trail of afterimages behind her.

Zhou Tao looked slightly surprised as he watched the stunning young girl before him.

"So it's a cat-type Martial Soul."

Zhou Tao knew that this kind of Martial Soul possessed astonishing movement speed, and the forest was practically her home ground.

The surrounding trees were her support. She could launch unpredictable attacks from every direction.

If he stayed here, he would simply be waiting to be captured.

He strategically retreated, quickly making his way onto the grassland.

"Bastard, don't run!"

Zhu Zhuqing bent low as she leaped through the trees like an agile wildcat.

With the lightest touch, she sprang past tree after tree and rapidly pursued him.

Although Zhou Tao did not use a flight Spirit Skill, he was wholly focused on retreating. His steps were light, and within a few breaths, he had reached the grassland outside the forest.

What surprised Zhu Zhuqing was that, even after possessing the Hell Spirit Cat, she still had not caught up to him.

"How is this bastard so fast without even using Martial Soul Possession?"

"Even my Hell Spirit Cat can't catch him."

Just then, the figure ahead suddenly stopped. Rather than continuing to flee, he turned around to face her.

"Bastard, you're tired of running now, aren't you? Let's see how I teach you a lesson today!"

Driven by anger, Zhu Zhuqing leaped down from a tree and landed on the grassland.

By then, Zhou Tao had already put on his clothes.

His fitted training outfit fully displayed his muscular build. Yet his face was refined and his bearing noble, making him look nothing like a pig thief.

Zhu Zhuqing had excellent eyesight. With just one glance, she became slightly dazed.

Had she really wronged him?

However.

Zhou Tao turned to look at the girl pursuing him, his eyes filled with anger as he said irritably,

"Stealing my roast pig would have been one thing."

"But you insisted on looking at my body too."

"Now that I'm dressed, you can't look anymore, and you're actually getting angry?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the handsome young man before her. He had a sturdy build and broad shoulders, radiating a unique charm.

She wanted to refute him, but upon thinking carefully, she really had seen his body.

Still, a fire was bottled up in her chest, making her full breasts tremble with anger.

"I don't believe you could really kill that pig."

"Let's have a spar."

Zhu Zhuqing changed the subject.

"If you lose, don't say I bullied someone younger than me."

"You..."

Zhu Zhuqing's small mouth opened slightly, anger rising in her once more. The next moment, she turned into a streak of afterimages and pounced toward Zhou Tao.

Although she did not know why she was so angry, she was determined to beat this boy up today.

Zhu Zhuqing silently appeared behind Zhou Tao. Her two cat claws shot out like lightning, one aimed at his shoulder and the other at his arm, intending to render him unable to fight.

However.

A huge blue-golden vine grew wildly, instantly engulfing her body.

Thick Blue Silver Vines bound her tightly. Her perfect, delicate face, full chest, long round and straight legs—her figure was exceptionally voluptuous.

"Idiot. You actually dared get close to a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master. You practically delivered yourself to me to be bound."

Zhou Tao's Lightning Blue Silver Grass possessed tremendous vitality. He did not need to use any Spirit Skill to bind her firmly.

The thick Blue Silver Vines were like his arms, tightly trapping the curvy little cat and slowly pulling her toward him.

Moreover, Zhou Tao could share the sensations of the Blue Silver Vines, especially the softness of Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was not yet very old, she had already developed into a perfect goddess.

"You... cheated. This doesn't count. I want to go again..."

The beautiful girl had suffered a loss. Her pretty face was flushed with anger, and she was thoroughly unconvinced.

First Spirit Skill, Hell Stab!

Zhu Zhuqing struggled violently. Claw shadows poured down like a raging storm, flashing with cold light as she unleashed more than ten claw strikes in an instant, trying to cut through the Blue Silver Vines.

However, the vines released by the Blue Silver Vine were extraordinarily tough.

Her sharp claws scraped against them with a rustling sound, leaving only shallow marks on the vines.

She could not cut through them at all.

Moreover, every time she left a mark, the Blue Silver Vines recovered after just a few breaths.

Zhu Zhuqing knew that her Hell Spirit Cat was a Martial Soul with formidable offensive power, capable of easily tearing apart a soldier's armor.

Yet she had just been stymied by a Blue Silver Vine Martial Soul, and she immediately felt somewhat discouraged.

"Let me go~"

"My body feels so numb and itchy~"

Zhu Zhuqing's cold, pretty face grew somewhat shy, and her face flushed red.

She felt arcs of electricity coursing all over her body, electrocuting her until she felt weak and numb. Even the fur on her cat tail had fluffed up from the shock.

"My Martial Soul naturally comes with lightning. A few electric arcs are normal."

Zhou Tao looked at the girl he had subdued, a trace of satisfaction appearing on his face.

The next moment, he loosened the Blue Silver Vines and set her down.

"Hiss~"

Zhu Zhuqing stared fixedly at Zhou Tao, her face full of disbelief.

"A purple Spirit Ring! It's actually a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring?"

"Impossible... How can your first Spirit Ring be a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring?"

Zhu Zhuqing came from a great aristocratic family and had seen countless geniuses since childhood.

Even she herself had been called a genius by everyone.

But before this boy, she finally understood what a true gap was.

This was a real genius!

Zhou Tao, however, hesitated. It seemed his brilliance could no longer be hidden.

Once the pale purple Spirit Ring appeared, anyone would know he was a genius.

"Why?"

"Because hard work leads to victory!"

Since he could not hide it anyway, he might as well display it openly.

So what if he was a genius?

Was being a genius not a good thing?

Although Zhou Tao knew his talent had originally been quite ordinary.

Who would have thought that after all these years of hard work, his useless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had actually turned him into a genius in the eyes of others!

Hard work truly was useful!

Fortunately, Zhou Tao had not accepted mediocrity. Instead, he seized every opportunity to make himself as strong as possible.

He cultivated diligently at Notting Academy.

He carefully laid his plans to obtain the Blue Silver Emperor.

To safely absorb Spirit Rings, he had tearfully used Whale Rubber to temper his body!

Years of hard work had allowed him to taste the sweetness of becoming stronger!

"Hard work leads to victory?"

This answer caused Zhu Zhuqing's gaze to freeze.

As she looked at Zhou Tao, there was now a little more appreciation, admiration, and even...
