"Little friend, what's your name? How old are you this year? What's your Martial Soul?"
The dean of students was less than 1.7 meters tall but weighed over 250 pounds, looking like a sleazy, greasy middle-aged man. Holding a cheap lollipop, he beamed at Wang Tianyi.
Yu Xiaogang was not the only clever person. The dean of students had some wisdom too and understood plenty of theory. No matter how incompetent Yu Xiaogang was, he was still a level 29 Soul Grandmaster, yet he had been beaten into that state! The dean had also witnessed part of the fight between the two children just now. Every sign indicated that Wang Tianyi was exceptionally strong. A new face like his had to be a freshman enrolling this year. How could the dean not be tempted?
A first-year student at a Junior Soul Master Academy who already had the qualifications to graduate directly was a rare genius even across the entire continent! The dean knew his own talent well. Soul Elder was his limit. Though he had some authority at Notting Academy, if he gave the boy a little sweetness and sweet-talked him into his grasp, ideally getting Wang Tianyi to take him as his teacher, would he not gain a powerful disciple in the future?
How could Wang Tianyi not know what the dean was thinking? But he had no interest whatsoever! Did someone think they were qualified to take the proud Heaven-Equaling and unruly Six Ears as disciples? At the very least, they had to be a great sage and a wise person of profound intellect. Strength was merely a bonus, not a requirement.
Seeing the brilliant smile on the dean's face, Wang Tianyi remained quite cold. He merely gave a few perfunctory responses before swaggering toward his dormitory.
The dean was somewhat embarrassed, but he would not give up so easily. He would not cling to the boy shamelessly like Yu Xiaogang, but he still needed to think of a way. He would start by investigating the boy's identity and background!
The dean did not know Wang Tianyi's name, but a genius like him at Notting Academy was as eye-catching as the sun in the night.
After meeting two important figures of this world, Wang Tianyi was filled with disappointment. Tang San and Yu Xiaogang—one was narrow-minded and childish in his thinking, utterly incapable of concealing his emotions and completely unworthy of the title of assassin; the other thought highly of himself and called himself a master after learning a little theory. If those two had not been recognized as important figures by this world, Wang Tianyi would not even remember their names.
Notting Academy's dormitories were rather interesting. From Dorm One to Dorm Seven, the first six housed fee-paying students like Wang Tianyi, while Dorm Seven was a mixed bag where all work-study students lived together. The seven dormitories were not far apart, since Notting Academy was only so large. But when Wang Tianyi returned to his dormitory, he caught sight of a petite little girl from the corner of his eye.
Calling the little girl cute was no exaggeration. It was as if the word had been created for her. Her face was delicate and doll-like, and although she was only six years old, her legs were remarkably long. She wore a long scorpion braid and rabbit-ear-shaped ornaments on her head. Yet her cute image was ruined by the bruised and battered work-study students behind her, all smiling ingratiatingly and bowing to her. Instead of being a proper little girl, she insisted on being the boss.
Wang Tianyi needed only one glance to instantly recognize her identity!
A Ten Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit that had taken human form, one of the Shrek Three Beauties, Tang San's future partner—Xiao Wu!
Wang Tianyi had never pretended to possess lofty morals. On the contrary, he had a bit of an otaku side to him. After all, who would not like cute little rabbits?
It had to be said that Xiao Wu was indeed beautiful after taking human form. Wang Tianyi truly lusted after her body—at least, that had been the case before he saw Xiao Wu.
But now...
Soul beast. Those two words hung over his head like an inescapable dark cloud.
Admit it! Wang Tianyi simply could not tolerate such a different species! Humans were humans, and soul beasts were soul beasts. Even though a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that had taken human form possessed a human appearance, she was still a soul beast! They fed on humans, while humans used soul beasts as resources for cultivation. The two sides were mortal enemies from the start! Coexistence? Absolutely impossible! Once a soul beast, always a soul beast!
Besides, she was a hundred-thousand-year rabbit. Over her long life, before she gained intelligence, that body might have given birth to dozens of little rabbits already! Seriously, what had the God King Tang been thinking? Should that blue-haired guy not dye his hair green to look more fitting?
Instinctive disgust made Wang Tianyi frown, but then Heaven-Equaling's Sacred Virtue personality began acting up again. Heaven-Equaling and Six Ears were already arguing themselves hoarse inside Wang Tianyi's head. They fought while roaring at each other, trying to influence his thoughts.
Heaven-Equaling: Life is sacred. Every life was born from its mother. The innocent must not be slaughtered!
Six Ears: Bullshit! You don't even have a mother!
The two Transcendent God-Tier Martial Souls argued fiercely, leaving Wang Tianyi utterly irritated. Yet in the end, he did not make a move—not out of mercy, but because he could not absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul beast right now. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast that had taken human form! That was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring plus a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. How could he waste it?
That was all! It was not that he would not kill her, but that the time had not yet come. He could not yet squeeze out the greatest possible value!
As for another factor that theoretically existed: Tang Hao regarded this rabbit as his son's future Soul Ring and would never allow anyone else to touch her.
Wang Tianyi was not worried about that. After all, he had already beaten Tang San, and the two had formed a grudge. Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo, but with the absurd mindset of the Tang family bloodline, even though Wang Tianyi was only six years old, Tang Hao would most likely show him no mercy!
Perhaps Tang Hao would see Wang Tianyi's talent and put chains on him, making him a dog of the Tang family. But with Wang Tianyi's personality, there was absolutely no chance he would accept it! Not even a temporary lowering of his head!
Having no powerful protector was Wang Tianyi's greatest disadvantage at present. Bibi Dong stood behind Yu Xiaogang; Tang Hao stood behind Tang San and Xiao Wu. He could not kill either of those two humans or that soul beast! Killing Tang San would bring Tang Hao's revenge, while Yu Xiaogang would also destroy him at all costs. And if he killed Yu Xiaogang, he would directly face Bibi Dong, while Tang Hao would most likely not spare him either...
So was he supposed to just surrender without resistance?
Tang Hao... I hope you can act like a human. Otherwise, my Heaven-Sweeping Cloak won't care who you are!
Who did not have a trump card?
Wang Tianyi's greatest reliance was the system. His second was the reward the system had given him for refusing to take Yu Xiaogang as his teacher!
Heaven-Sweeping Cloak: It isolated everything and forcibly sealed one enemy! Within Douluo Continent's power system, only an extremely powerful God King was qualified to damage the cloak in the slightest! And the duration of the seal... was a full ten years!
If Tang Hao truly came knocking, Wang Tianyi would absolutely use this trump card to save his life. By the time Tang Hao awoke, the balance of offense and defense would likely have reversed.
Wang Tianyi walked toward his dormitory while thinking. He did not want trouble, nor did he want to have anything to do with Xiao Wu for now. But it seemed someone did not feel the same way...
"Hey! Hey! I'm talking to you, stop right there!"
A crisp but domineering voice came from behind Wang Tianyi.
Wang Tianyi stopped walking.
Veins bulged on his forehead.
