"I don't believe it!" Though Xiao Chenyu said that, a faint sheen of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Reason still refused to accept that the six-year-old girl before him could have reached the level of a Battle Soul Master so quickly. If it was true, how was anyone supposed to live?

How could there possibly be someone so ridiculously awesome in the world?

"Hehe, don't believe me?" Xiao Wu gave Xiao Chenyu a teasing glance, and a yellow ring of light quietly appeared beneath her feet.

"Do you believe me now?" As she spoke, two adorable rabbit ears appeared on Xiao Wu's head, and her eyes turned bright red. She looked utterly adorable.

But as Xiao Wu transformed, Du Hao, standing behind her, glanced at her little tail...

With sharp eyes, Du Hao stared intently at the fluffy white rabbit tail behind Xiao Wu's short skirt.

"A rabbit's tail... I wonder how it feels." Du Hao muttered under his breath, without attracting Tang San's attention.

"A Hundred-Year Soul Ring! How is that possible?!" Xiao Chenyu's eyes widened in shock. He only had a Ten-Year Soul Ring. The difference between them was far too great.

The gap between Soul Rings was enormous. How could he possibly fight someone dozens of times stronger? Was he supposed to charge in headfirst?

Realizing the difference between them, Xiao Chenyu raised both hands, smiled, and conceded.

There was simply nothing he could do. He'd run into a crushing mismatch.

"Sister Xiao Wu, your little brother was reckless just now. From now on, you're the boss of Notting Junior Academy!"

"Don't call me boss. Call me Big Sis!" Xiao Wu gazed proudly at the senior students who had submitted to her, putting on the air of a little tyrant.

"Sure thing, boss. No problem, boss!" Xiao Chenyu wouldn't dare object. He could only go along with her.

"Hehe, good! That's the spirit!" After successfully taking in a bunch of lackeys, Xiao Wu turned around proudly and winked at Du Hao.

She couldn't hide the smugness in her eyes.

"Brother Hao, Xiao Wu's looking at you," Tang San reminded him, nudging his good friend beside him with an elbow.

"It's fine. Let her have her fun." Du Hao spoke nonchalantly, his gaze never straying from the tail behind Xiao Wu.

He wondered how it had appeared without damaging her clothes.

After subduing Xiao Chenyu and the others, Du Hao, Xiao Wu, and the rest had nothing much to do.

Even the Work-Study Student jobs that had originally belonged to Tang San and Xiao Wu were taken over by their new lackeys, leaving them completely free.

Naturally, the lively Xiao Wu couldn't sit still. As she sat down on Du Hao's bed, she accidentally~ dug out the book Du Hao had obtained last time: Soul Power Control: From 'Beginner' to 'Buried'.

Ever since Du Hao had read through it a few times, he'd mostly kept the book tucked away beneath his pillow.

After all, learning even a little of what it contained could keep him busy for a long time. It took days to digest. And when you reached the last page, more material would somehow emerge, as if the book could never be finished.

Overflowing with curiosity, Xiao Wu opened to the first page. The moment she saw all those numbers and symbols, her eyes went blank, and she was drawn in.

"What... what is all this?" Xiao Wu's brain began to overload. It felt like her CPU couldn't keep up.

"Abba, abba..." Xiao Wu could understand each word in the book on its own, but strung together, they looked like a heavenly text.

For a moment, the invincible Sister Xiao Wu felt her brain system lagging. After thinking for too long, her head even started to feel hot.

Before long, Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and collapsed onto Du Hao's bed with a thud.

The rabbit brain had overloaded and forcibly shut down.

"Zhu Zhuqing, look at me!" Du Hao stood atop a tree and waved down at Zhu Zhuqing.

Over at the academy, there were plenty of ways to train, but Du Hao had a better method of his own, so he decided to train by himself.

Given his abilities, what they taught at school wasn't nearly enough. Some of it was even outdated.

After all, he owed all this knowledge to Soul Power Control: From 'Beginner' to 'Buried'.

But there was something eerie about that book. It had been fine when he read it himself. When he gave it to Zhu Zhuqing, though, the book was just like Cthulhu.

Opening it was like opening the gates to Cthulhu: the knowledge inside would invade your brain.

"Be careful." Zhu Zhuqing stood beneath the tree, watching Du Hao above as she began her own training.

The two of them were using the knowledge in that book to develop their respective abilities and techniques.

Right now, they were using precise chakra control to walk on walls and ceilings.

The idea had come from Du Hao. After all, since his abilities allowed it, there was no holding back his imagination.

He was a transmigrator, after all. He had plenty of strange little tricks in his head.

He remembered that there were some techniques in Naruto that would work well in Douluo. Walking on water and climbing trees, for example, were what they were practicing now.

In essence, it was all about precise control, creating an extremely fine adhesive force.

After practicing again and again, the two gradually mastered the techniques.

Watching Zhu Zhuqing make her way step by step toward the top of the tree, Du Hao stood above with his arms crossed.

A sudden inspiration struck him, and he came up with a new idea.

"Zhuqing, what do you think would happen if we used Soul Power and compressed it to a single point?"

Zhu Zhuqing continued climbing step by step, her expression unchanged as she replied, "I don't know, but with our control over Soul Power, it should be very difficult."

"Can't say that for sure, can we?" Du Hao reached the same height as Zhu Zhuqing and looked at the girl, her body tensed.

He poked her in the side with a finger.

"Don't mess around." Zhu Zhuqing was concentrating, and she immediately reached out to swat away the hand that was bothering her.

She was completely focused right now. The slightest mistake would send her tumbling to the ground!

"Hehe, I'm helping you, aren't I~"

"Just don't get in the way. Go wait over there." Zhu Zhuqing steadied herself and continued climbing step by step.

Du Hao didn't bother her again.

He wasn't the sort to ignore the situation. A joke or two was fine, but if he kept at it, it would stop being a joke and become a nuisance.

Back on the ground, Du Hao sat cross-legged.

"I might as well do something while I'm free..."

A faint trace of Soul Power began to gather in his hand, all of it converging at the tip of his index finger.

"Compress, compress..." He carefully controlled the Soul Power and the tiny point of light in his hand.

Whether it would work or not, there was no harm in giving it a try. He was free anyway, so he might as well test it.

As the point of light in his hand continued to gather and compress, its pale blue glow grew brighter and brighter.

"Oh, nice~ This might work!"
