Back Again, Xiao Wu's Request

"Secretive Black Dragon Claw?"

"Daotian, does that Black Dragon Claw on your chest have some special effect?"

Hearing the name he had chosen, Principal Su was somewhat curious.

"Hehe, it doesn't have any major effect. But since it's a Soul Skill, it should have a badass name."

Li Daotian explained casually.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Principal Su did not press further.

"Young Master, now that you have obtained your Martial Soul, let us leave the Soul Hunting Forest first, lest we run into more trouble."

Yu Xiaogang asked for instructions.

This was the central region of the Soul Hunting Forest, where they could still encounter powerful Soul Beasts.

Li Daotian looked around, then lowered his head and pointed at the Forest Flood Dragon's corpse. Somewhat regretfully, he said, "It's a shame we can't take this big fellow's body with us."

"It's too large to carry away."

Yu Xiaogang gently shook his head.

Principal Su also said regretfully, "The Soul Tools we have on us can't hold something this large. Otherwise, we definitely would have brought it back."

"Forget it. Let's go."

Although Li Daotian found it somewhat regrettable, he decided not to dwell on it since they could not take it with them.

This time, he took the lead and headed out.

Yu Xiaogang and Principal Su followed behind him.

It was already dark, and they needed to leave quickly.

Two hours later, they finally walked out of the Soul Hunting Forest.

"We're finally out. This soul hunt was dangerous, but we made it through safely!"

Principal Su let out a sigh of relief, and some of his composure returned.

"Thank you for your help this time, Principal Su."

Li Daotian said gratefully.

"Daotian, don't say that. Helping you obtain a Soul Ring is part of a principal's duty."

Principal Su gently shook his head and patted Li Daotian's shoulder. "Daotian, when you become a Titled Douluo in the future, don't forget Notting College."

His words carried a deeper meaning.

"Rest assured, Principal Su. I won't forget Notting College, and I certainly won't forget you."

Li Daotian said.

He could tell that this old man was thinking of using his name to do things in the future, or at least to brag about it.

"Good, good child."

Principal Su laughed heartily, thoroughly satisfied.

Yu Xiaogang said from the side, "All right, let's return to Notting College first."

The three continued on their journey toward Notting College.

At dawn, they finally returned safely to Notting College.

"Ah-ha!"

Li Daotian yawned. He had not slept all night and was rather tired.

"Principal, Gangzi, I'm going back to the dormitory to sleep. I'm exhausted. Young people need to grow, and I can't quite take it."

After saying that, Li Daotian headed straight for the dormitory.

"That child really runs fast."

Watching Li Daotian's retreating back, Principal Su sighed.

"Xiaogang, Li Daotian's talent is extraordinarily high. You must help him advance to become a Titled Douluo."

Principal Su looked at Yu Xiaogang again, his expression solemn.

"Rest assured. The Young Master will surely become an unparalleled genius revered throughout the Douluo Continent."

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he strode into the college as well.

Principal Su watched him, then followed him inside. He was in such a good mood that he even began humming a tune.

After returning to his dormitory, Li Daotian felt strangely exhausted.

The moment he lay down on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep.

He did not know how much time had passed when he felt an itch in his nose.

"Achoo!"

Li Daotian sneezed, opened his eyes, and sat upright.

"Brother Tian, you're awake."

Xiao Wu held a foxtail grass stalk and looked at Li Daotian with a mischievous smile.

"Xiao Wu, how did you get into my dormitory?"

Looking at the playful Xiao Wu, Li Daotian reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Hey, Brother Tian, I heard you came back from the Soul Hunting Forest, so I came to see what changes you've had."

Xiao Wu shyly slapped away Li Daotian's hand and looked at him with her large eyes.

Hearing this, Li Daotian jumped down from the bed and flexed his arms, making the muscles on them bulge.

"Xiao Wu, I became stronger during this trip to the Soul Hunting Forest."

"You're no longer my match."

Li Daotian said somewhat smugly.

After waking from his sleep, his physical strength seemed to have improved again.

Moreover, he could feel that his Soul Power had also increased.

It was probably because his stronger body had helped boost his Soul Power.

"You really have gotten stronger again, Brother Tian. Did you kill some powerful Soul Beast?"

Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"A six-hundred-year Forest Flood Dragon!"

Li Daotian said.

"A six-hundred-year Soul Beast? Brother Tian, you're amazing!"

Xiao Wu knew that a six-hundred-year Soul Beast was no weak opponent, and it had even been a ferocious Forest Flood Dragon. She was even more surprised.

"Of course."

"Who told me I'm the boss of the college?"

Li Daotian said complacently.

"Then next, Brother Tian, you need to improve your Soul Power."

Xiao Wu nodded, not thinking Li Daotian was boasting at all.

"That's right. Xiao Wu, do you know how to improve Soul Power quickly?"

Li Daotian also knew that his physical strength had reached a certain level for now, and that he needed to focus on improving his Soul Power.

But Soul Power increased very slowly.

Especially for children.

Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, so perhaps she knew some method.

"I don't know either."

Xiao Wu shook her head.

As they spoke, Yu Xiaogang pushed the door open and entered.

He was not surprised to see Xiao Wu standing so intimately beside Li Daotian.

After all, the two children had been rather close these past few days.

"Young Master, are you all right?"

Yu Xiaogang asked. Li Daotian had run off to sleep first thing in the morning, and he had been somewhat worried.

"I'm fine."

Li Daotian replied calmly.

"Gangzi, you came at the right time. Now that I've obtained my First Soul Ring, I need to speed up my Soul Power cultivation. Do you know any good methods?"

Li Daotian asked.

"As far as I know, there is no quick method. You need to take it step by step."

Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Hearing that, Li Daotian was somewhat speechless.

Was this guy really a theoretical Grandmaster?

He was even worse than Li Daotian.

As far as he knew, one could consume certain immortal herbs to improve Soul Power.

But with his current strength, trying to obtain immortal herbs would be extremely dangerous.

Another method was finding a cultivation technique that allowed meditation, such as Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill.

At the thought of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Li Daotian's eyes lit up.

Since he could steal from Tang San once, he could steal from Tang San a second time.

A peculiar smile curled across his lips.

"Gangzi, go look into what other methods there are to improve Soul Power."

"Oh, and tomorrow I'm going back to the village to visit Old Village Chief Jack."

Li Daotian said.

"All right, I'll handle it immediately."

"Young Master, do you need me to accompany you back to the village?"

Yu Xiaogang asked for instructions.

"No need. I can go back by myself."

Li Daotian waved his hand.

"Yes. Xiaogang will take his leave."

Yu Xiaogang withdrew after saying that.

Xiao Wu looked at him eagerly and said coquettishly, "Brother Tian, I want to go back with you and have a look."

"Xiao Wu, be good. You can't go yet. After some time, I'll see whether I can take you back to the village."

Li Daotian rejected Xiao Wu's request, mainly because he was worried that she would run into Tang Hao.

At this time, Tang Hao was certainly still in Holy Spirit Village.

He was a Titled Douluo and could definitely sense Xiao Wu's aura.

When that happened, Xiao Wu's identity would surely be exposed.

Given Tang Hao's nature, he would probably kill Xiao Wu and take her Soul Bone for his precious son, Tang San.

This was something Li Daotian absolutely did not want to see.
