"Let's go. Back to the dorm."

Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Daotian waved and headed toward the dormitory.

Xiao Wu smoothed out her hair, ran up, and grabbed Li Daotian's arm.

The two happily entered the dormitory. After Xiao Wu clung to him for a while, Li Daotian finally sent her back to her own dorm.

After returning to his private dormitory, Li Daotian took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and sat down at his desk.

"I learned Xiao Wu's Combat Technique today. Although I improved somewhat, it still feels like something is missing?"

Li Daotian rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

He felt that his comprehension of Combat Techniques was rather weak.

"That's it—comprehension."

"What I lack is comprehension!"

A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Li Daotian's mind.

Having figured this out, Li Daotian now had a goal.

With the Divine Thief System in hand, this should not be too difficult a problem.

"I wonder whose comprehension is good in our college?"

Li Daotian began thinking again.

As long as he found someone with good comprehension, there was a high chance he could successfully steal that person's comprehension and make it his own.

"I'll ask Gangzi tomorrow who in our college has good comprehension."

Having made up his mind, Li Daotian happily went to bed.

Meanwhile, news was spreading through the dormitories.

"Big Sister Xiao Wu now recognizes the lower-year Li Daotian as Brother Tian. From now on, everyone has to be polite when they see Li Daotian."

"Who is Li Daotian? Is he really that impressive?"

"You don't even know Li Daotian? He's the lower-year student who made the Grandmaster kneel!"

"Our college may be facing a struggle for the top spot. Boss Xiao is definitely going to be angry."

"..."

The students in the dormitories were all spreading the news.

Li Daotian's name quickly became widely known.

But Li Daotian had already fallen asleep and knew nothing about any of it.

After class the next day, Li Daotian noticed that quite a few students were looking at him with respect.

"What's going on?"

"Why are these students looking at me so strangely?"

Li Daotian was somewhat surprised. He felt that something must have happened.

After school, Xiao Wu came bouncing over to find him.

"Brother Tian, let's go spar again."

Xiao Wu grabbed Li Daotian's arm, her face full of anticipation.

"Xiao Wu, have you noticed that quite a few people are looking at me differently?"

Li Daotian asked Xiao Wu.

"Brother Tian, you don't know yet? You're the big brother in the students' hearts now!"

Xiao Wu giggled.

"What? The big brother?"

"How did that happen?"

Li Daotian asked in shock.

He had not done anything, and he was still a lower-year student. How had he become the big brother?

Wasn't this just inviting trouble?

"Brother Tian, you're my brother, Xiao Wu's brother. What's wrong with being the big brother?"

Xiao Wu said proudly.

Li Daotian immediately understood somewhat. So this was all related to Xiao Wu.

This girl was probably going to get him into trouble.

By now, the college's real big brother would probably be coming to cause trouble.

"Xiao Wu, being the big brother isn't that easy."

Li Daotian said helplessly.

As they spoke, a tall student dressed in brocade robes walked toward them, followed by several students of similar height.

The student in brocade robes looked Li Daotian and Xiao Wu over, then asked arrogantly, "Which one of you is Li Daotian?"

Li Daotian looked at him and knew trouble had arrived.

Fortunately, he had learned Combat Techniques from Xiao Wu yesterday, and he also possessed the power of the Mystic Tiger Bloodline, so he was not too worried.

"I am. And you are?"

Li Daotian said.

"I'm Xiao Chenyu!"

"You, a lower-year student, dare to act as the boss at Notting College? Do you think I, Boss Xiao, am just here to eat for free?"

The student in brocade robes said furiously.

A group of students immediately gathered around to watch the spectacle.

"Li Daotian is done for now. He offended Boss Xiao."

"Yeah, Boss Xiao is the city lord's son. Who could shake his position?"

"Li Daotian is definitely going to suffer this time."

The surrounding students whispered among themselves.

The teachers passing by glanced over. When they saw Xiao Chenyu, they hesitated slightly before walking away.

As long as Xiao Chenyu did not go too far, they would not interfere.

After all, Xiao Chenyu was the city lord's son!

It did not matter if ordinary students suffered a little.

"Well... I've never wanted to be the boss!"

Li Daotian said helplessly.

He vaguely remembered Xiao Chenyu—the son of Notting City's city lord. His Martial Soul seemed to be a Wolf, making him an absolutely ruthless character.

"The students have already spread the word, and you still want to deny it!"

"Don't say I, Boss Xiao, didn't give you a chance. Let's settle this with a sparring match on the training ground."

Xiao Chenyu pointed at Li Daotian, a sinister glint in his eyes.

He clearly had no good intentions.

Li Daotian could tell that this guy was planning to use sparring as an excuse to beat him up badly.

More and more students were gathering around, leaving him in a difficult position.

[Ding. The person before you has five points of comprehension available to steal. Steal it?]

At that moment, the System's voice sounded in Li Daotian's mind.

Five points of comprehension? System, what does that mean?

Li Daotian asked.

[It means you can steal half of the target's comprehension.]

Steal it.

Li Daotian immediately gave the command.

[Ding. Successfully stole Xiao Chenyu's comprehension. You now possess five points of his comprehension, which will merge with your own. Your comprehension has improved.] [Xiao Chenyu's comprehension has also decreased. His cultivation speed will slow down, and for a period of time, he will display some foolish and dazed behavior.]

Li Daotian soon felt as though something had changed. Some minor problems that had puzzled him before suddenly became clear.

Comprehension truly was important.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately came up with a bold idea.

System, can you scan the people around me and see whether their comprehension can be stolen?

Li Daotian ordered.

One person's comprehension might not be much, but if he could steal a little from every student nearby, wouldn't his comprehension rise to an entirely new level?

At that point, whether he cultivated Combat Techniques or Martial Souls, he would be faster and more at ease.

[Ding. Dozens of nearby students have one point of comprehension available to steal each. Steal it?]

Steal it!

Li Daotian would not let such an opportunity slip away.

One point of comprehension from each person meant dozens of points altogether.

It would certainly raise his comprehension by a level.

[Ding. Stealing successful. You have stolen dozens of points of comprehension at once. They have merged with your own comprehension, causing a breakthrough. You have successfully obtained good comprehension.] [Those whose comprehension was stolen will only be slightly affected, as the amount taken was small.]

Li Daotian soon discovered that he seemed to have undergone another transformation.

The issues in the Combat Techniques he had learned yesterday took him only a second to understand.

"Good! This is wonderful!"

Li Daotian was overjoyed.

The improvement in comprehension truly had tremendous effects.

With this, he was no longer too worried about sparring with Xiao Chenyu.

Li Daotian looked toward Xiao Chenyu and was just about to agree when he noticed that Xiao Chenyu's gaze had become somewhat unfocused.
