"Don't say things that undermine unity again. Otherwise, I really will poke eight hundred holes through you with my spear."

Yun Tian could not stand this kind of all-talk-no-substance rhetoric. It was utterly disgusting. He had no idea where Xiao Wu had learned it.

Sticking out her tongue, Xiao Wu realized she had spoken without thinking. Now that she considered it, she really had been rather unreasonable.

So she got up and walked over to Yun Tian, speaking somewhat sheepishly. "Um, I still don't know your name."

"Yun Tian."

"Yun Tian? That's a nice name. Yun Tian, can you lend me some money? I want to buy a set of bedding!"

"No. I'm poor myself. Where would I get spare money to give you? If you really have no choice, ask the teacher. As someone with innate full soul power, you should have some privileges, right?"

Xiao Wu was just about to agree when she suddenly realized something the next second. How did he know she had innate full soul power?

Could he have a crush on me? Otherwise, how would he know my information? He acts like he dislikes me so much, but he's actually a tsundere.

"Then I'm off."

Xiao Wu skipped cheerfully toward the teacher's office.

Not long after she left, Tang San entered. Since his bed was close to Yun Tian's, the stench of blood immediately drifted into Yun Tian's nostrils as he approached.

Yun Tian frowned and gave him a slight reminder. "Tang San, I suggest you wash up first. You stink all over."

"None of your business. What if I don't wash and just go straight to sleep?"

Was this Tang San even normal?

Why did he seem like he had already gone mad?

Yun Tian was puzzled. He had not been like this in the cafeteria just now, so why was his tongue suddenly so sharp?

Destiny's Eye activated, and Yun Tian immediately spotted the problem.

[Rainbow · Dual Sources Within and Without], [Rainbow · Clear Sky Blue Silver], [Gold · Fate Full of Hardship], [Gold · Inheritor of the Tang Sect], [Purple · Masked Soul Fusion], [Blue · Devoted Love], [Blue · Many Principles], [Blue · Rage], [Blue · Arrogance and Impatience], [Blue · Disciple Who Slays His Master].

Several blue-quality entries had unexpectedly appeared among the originally rainbow and gold entries.

Yun Tian had gained a fairly solid understanding of this entry system. For example, only rainbow entries guaranteed entirely positive effects, while gold quality and below could not guarantee that every entry would be beneficial.

Some were of higher quality precisely because their negative effects were too great.

[Blue · Rage: Without the favor of the Heavenly Dao, everything goes wrong, and the personality gradually becomes irritable. At the slightest provocation, one will declare someone to have a path to death.] [Blue · Arrogance and Impatience: Holds oneself in excessively high regard, looks down on others, and believes one's own resources and talent to be the best.] [Blue · Disciple Who Slays His Master: The master's mistakes will be infinitely magnified, and killing intent will gradually arise. Once a threshold is reached, this entry will trigger. (The killing intent will not remain permanently.)]

After reading these, Yun Tian could only say, Well, damn. Just deleting one rainbow entry had caused so many negative effects?

In that case, Yun Tian could not be bothered to care about Tang San anymore. The kid was already done for.

Seeing Yun Tian like this, Tang San secretly rejoiced. A few words were enough to make him afraid to speak. What a coward!

Just then, Wang Sheng and the other work-study student roommates returned together. Naturally, they all noticed Tang San's unkempt appearance.

"Tang San, even if you're stronger than us, you should still pay attention to hygiene, shouldn't you?"

"Yeah, we have to live together, after all."

"Shut up!"

Tang San immediately stood and glared at them. If they had not all been little kids, he would have classified them as having a path to death on the spot.

"Yun Tian, I'm back!"

Xiao Wu entered carrying a clean set of bedding, but the atmosphere in Dorm Seven made her feel that something was off. Why was everyone so silent?

After setting down the bedding, Xiao Wu looked at Tang San. The moment Tang San saw Xiao Wu, he froze.

S-so cute!

At first sight, Tang San felt that Xiao Wu was destined to be connected to him.

"What are you looking at? Pervert!"

Xiao Wu frowned. Tang San did not hide his gaze in the slightest, and his eyes were filled with affection as he looked at her.

Tang San had never believed in love at first sight before, but now he did. He wanted to recognize Xiao Wu as his little sister and let her experience the affection of an older brother!

Without that rainbow entry ordained by the plane itself, Tang San's originally normal mindset and behavior had begun to change. In his own eyes, it was an incredibly affectionate gaze, but to outsiders, it looked lecherous and filthy.

As his gaze grew stranger and stranger, Xiao Wu unconsciously took several steps back and hid behind Yun Tian's bed.

Wang Sheng and the other roommates also stepped forward to shield her.

"Tang San, don't go too far. Xiao Wu is a girl, and you're staring at her like that!"

"I just want to get to know her. What did I do wrong?"

"You want to get to know me? Then what is with that look in your eyes? It's disgusting and lewd!"

Boom!

Tang San felt as though his romance had ended before it had even begun. Xiao Wu had actually called him lewd and disgusting. This won't do!

When his gaze shifted, he saw Yun Tian watching their commotion with a calm expression. Tang San's anger immediately surged at the sight of his idle, unconcerned look.

He pointed at Yun Tian and said, "Yun Tian, in a few days, my teacher will take me to hunt my first soul ring. Just wait and see how I beat you senseless then!"

"Whatever. With Gangzi like that, be careful he doesn't get soloed by a soul beast. A level twenty-nine Grandmaster—what a joke."

"You!"

"Am I wrong?"

Yun Tian had not said anything untrue. Wasn't Gangzi the "genius" who broke through to level twenty-nine at the age of fifty?

Besides, now that Tang San no longer had the fortune of a chosen son of heaven, perhaps he really would only absorb a ten-year Solitary Bamboo. The situation recorded in unofficial histories, where Tang Hao threw over a Mandala Snake, might not happen at all.

Tang San had nothing to say this time. He knew his teacher was level twenty-nine, but no matter how useless he was, he could not possibly be unable to defeat soul beasts that were only a few decades or centuries old, right?

How useless would that martial soul have to be?

According to the original story, they should have gone hunting for a soul ring tomorrow. But Yu Xiaogang was currently bedridden from excessive blood loss in his arm. By then, he had better not exhaust himself to death just from walking.

After that exchange, Tang San stopped speaking. He lay quietly on his bed, but Yun Tian truly could not stand that smell.

So he simply moved his bed farther away.

"Yun Tian, do you want to share a bed with me?"

When Xiao Wu saw Yun Tian moving his bed, she instinctively assumed he wanted to share one with her. After all, in her eyes, Yun Tian was cold on the outside but kind at heart.

"Share my ass. The smell over there is too strong, so I'm moving somewhere else."

"How hateful!"

Hearing the goddess in his heart speak to Yun Tian like that, only for Yun Tian to respond with such an attitude, Tang San nearly ground his back teeth to dust.

Yun Tian, you really deserve to die!
