Why Are You Trying to Apply Logic to Comedy Characters?

Ning Rongrong was brimming with excitement. She even reached out and picked up a Cute Little Guga that ran past her.

"Hehe~ What's your name?"

The Guga timidly replied.

"My name is Guga, Guga."

"Hello, Guga Guga. My name is Ning Rongrong."

Ning Rongrong tilted her head and blinked her big eyes.

The Guga in her arms puffed out her cheeks.

"My name isn't Guga Guga. My name is Guga, Guga."

Ning Rongrong's brain short-circuited slightly. Was there even a difference?

But she decided not to dwell on it and began feeling around the Guga's head with her little hands.

"Wow~ You feel so nice!"

Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi reached out and tried to pull away a Guga that was hugging his leg.

But the little thing was absurdly strong. When he gave a hard tug—

"Rip—" His robe was torn in two.

Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed tightly.

The first person who came to mind was Yu Xiaogang. He too possessed a detached Martial Soul, yet his innate Soul Power had only been half a rank, leaving his cultivation pitifully weak throughout his life.

But Lin Xiao's Martial Soul could actually speak!

And she was incredibly strong! His innate Soul Power definitely would not be low!

"Lin Xiao, can you make them quiet down?"

At that moment, Lin Xiao was busy pulling a Guga off his face.

The little thing clung to his face with all four limbs. Her penguin beak was pressed right against Lin Xiao's eyelids, while her tiny legs kept kicking wildly.

Apparently, she was excited because she had finally found the leader of the Guga Family!

"Hey, hey, don't stick yourself to my face!"

Lin Xiao grabbed the back of her neck with one hand and laboriously peeled the boisterous Guga off his face before casually setting her down beside him.

No sooner had he removed that one than two or three more Gugas began climbing up his arm, clinging to his shoulders and chattering nonstop.

They were telling him how difficult it had been to find him.

"Stop!!!"

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs.

The noisy, chaotic hall abruptly fell silent.

The huge group of Gugas hopping around and roughhousing froze in unison. Their heads all turned toward Lin Xiao at once, and their cries stopped dead.

"Now! Form ranks!!"

Lin Xiao issued the command loudly.

"Guga!" ×1000

A burst of chaotic rustling followed as countless plump little figures immediately sprang into action.

The Gugas clamored and stumbled about, shoving and squeezing each other as they began lining up crookedly.

"Guga wants to stand first, Guga!"

"Why? I want to stand here too!"

"Boss! Guga wants food!"

Some rushed forward, while others were shoved stumbling backward by their companions. The line they formed was crooked and messy, nowhere near orderly, but at least they had stopped charging around and wrecking everything.

The stewards and guards present were all dumbfounded.

A detached Martial Soul, enormous in number, and capable of following its master's orders to act as a group.

Ning Fengzhi's gaze deepened, his heart thoroughly shaken.

Ning Rongrong held the Guga in her arms, her eyes sparkling with amazement.

"Wow, Brother Lin Xiao is amazing! They actually all listen to you!"

Lin Xiao let out a breath. He had finally subdued this bunch of little troublemakers for the time being. Turning to the steward in charge of the awakening ceremony, he said,

"Steward, you can test my Soul Power now."

"Huh? Oh, right... Put your hand on—!!!"

The steward's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly looked around, his voice cracking.

"Where's the Soul Power crystal?! Why is it gone? Hurry, help me find it!"

The surrounding guards and children began searching through the wreckage again.

They searched the corners around the tables and chairs, behind the hall's pillars, and every nook and cranny.

After making a huge fuss for quite some time, they still did not catch even a glimpse of the crystal ball.

Lin Xiao's mouth twitched.

His intuition told him that these little fellows had taken it.

He stopped watching the people frantically searching everywhere and quickly swept his gaze across the crookedly assembled Guga ranks, examining them one by one.

Sure enough.

In the third row from the back, at the seventy-sixth position, stood an especially fat Guga wearing a gold necklace, looking immensely smug.

She held her head at a forty-five-degree angle, puckered her beak high, and whistled as though nothing had happened, making little "whew whew" sounds.

Lin Xiao understood instantly. This was probably Evil Fat Guga!

"You, Fat Guga! Did you hide it?!"

The moment his words fell, the Gugas that had been standing neatly in line instantly erupted into commotion.

Every Guga moved in unison, pattering backward step after step. Their movements were orderly and tacit, and they scattered apart in a flash.

In an instant, the previously crowded formation cleared out its center, leaving only the guilty Evil Fat Guga, who had been whistling, standing all alone in the middle.

"Guga?!"

She hurriedly looked around, only then realizing she should run back into the ranks.

The steward was quick-eyed and quick-handed. With a light pinch between two fingers, he caught the back of her penguin outfit by the neck and effortlessly lifted her into the air.

The steward held out his hand, his meaning obvious.

The Guga, pinched by the back of the neck, angrily flailed her tiny legs.

"Let go of Guga!"

She grabbed the steward's arm with both hands and executed an airborne shoulder throw.

"Ughaa!!"

"Whoosh—"

With a sharp tearing sound through the air, the steward himself was hurled away, smashing heavily into the wall and leaving several cracks in its surface.

The Guga landed firmly, shook her head, and shouted indignantly.

"Other than Boss, no one can touch Guga!"

"Gulp—"

Everyone present swallowed in fear.

What kind of monster was that?!

That steward was a level 43 Soul Ancestor!

And he had just been thrown away like trash?!

Lin Xiao rubbed his brow, then walked over to Evil Fat Guga and crouched beside her with a headache.

"Little Guga, take it out."

"Guga..."

As if resigning herself to fate, she raised a little hand and reached behind her back.

The next second, she forcibly pulled out a Soul Power crystal nearly half the size of her own body from behind her back and held it steadily in her arms.

The hall instantly fell deathly silent.

All the guards and stewards stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

An enormous question rose in everyone's hearts at once:

Such a huge crystal ball had just been pulled out of her back so casually??

No... how had she done that?!

No one had even seen when the crystal ball got into her hands!

Lin Xiao, however, was not surprised in the slightest.

If he heard the questions in their hearts, he would probably find them amusing instead.

Were they seriously trying to apply logic to a bunch of comedy characters?

He stepped forward and firmly pressed his palm heavily against the Soul Power crystal.

Boom!!

In an instant, an incomparably dazzling golden light erupted!!

The other stewards nearby widened their eyes and shouted in shock, "Innate full Soul Power!! Innate rank ten!"

The hall fell quiet at once.

Everyone around him crowded forward, their faces full of disbelief.

Throughout all these years in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong's innate rank nine was already considered exceptional. Innate full Soul Power was even rarer!

This child had the bearing of a Titled Douluo!!

Ning Rongrong held the Guga, her little mouth hanging wide open in astonishment.

"No way, Brother Lin Xiao actually has innate full Soul Power? Doesn't that mean he's even more amazing than Rongrong?"

Ning Fengzhi no longer cared about the pants the Guga had torn apart. He walked over with blazing eyes.

"Little Lin, I knew I was right about you! From now on, the sect's resources will be fully directed toward you. Just focus on cultivating properly!"

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned.

"Sect Master Ning..."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand with a smile.

"Ah~ Why call me Sect Master Ning? Call me Uncle Ning. Rongrong will need plenty of your care in the future."

"Don't worry, Uncle Ning. I will!"

Lin Xiao nodded solemnly.

He would absolutely protect the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, this place where he could live peacefully and comfortably.
