Soul Beasts Are Soul Beasts (Please Bookmark, Recommend, and Vote Monthly)

"Little friend, what's your name? How old are you this year? What's your Martial Soul?"

The dean of studies, who stood under five foot seven yet weighed over 250 pounds, looked like a sleazy, greasy middle-aged man. Holding a cheap lollipop, he beamed at Wang Tianyi.

Yu Xiaogang was not the only clever person around. The dean of studies had some brains too and understood plenty of theory. No matter how useless Yu Xiaogang was, he was still a rank 29 Soul Grandmaster, yet he had been beaten into that state! The dean had also witnessed part of the fight between those two children just now. Every sign showed that Wang Tianyi was no ordinary boy. A fresh face like him had to be a new student 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—such a genius was exceedingly rare across the entire continent! The dean knew his own talent well. Soul Elder was his limit. He held a bit of authority at Notting Academy, so if he gave the kid a few perks and tricked him into joining his side, it would be best if Wang Tianyi took him as his teacher. Wouldn't that give him a powerful disciple in the future?

How could Wang Tianyi fail to see through the dean's thoughts? 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.

Faced with the dean's radiant smile, Wang Tianyi remained thoroughly indifferent. He gave a few vague responses to brush him off, then swaggered toward his dormitory.

The dean was somewhat embarrassed, but he would not give up so easily. While he would not pester Wang Tianyi as shamelessly as Yu Xiaogang, he still needed to think of a solution. 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, utterly incapable of concealing his emotions and completely unworthy of being called an assassin; the other thought far too highly of himself and called himself a master after learning a little theory. If these two were not 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 Six lived fee-paying students like Wang Tianyi, while Dorm Seven was a mixed bag where all work-study students lived together. The seven dorms were not far apart, since Notting Academy was only so big. When Wang Tianyi returned to his dormitory, however, he caught sight of a petite little girl from the corner of his eye.

Calling this little girl cute would not be an exaggeration; it was as though the word had been invented for her. Her face was delicately sculpted like pink jade. Though she was only six years old, her legs were remarkably long. She wore her hair in a long scorpion-tail braid and had rabbit-ear-shaped ornaments on her head. Yet her adorable image was ruined by the group of bruised and battered work-study students behind her, bowing and scraping with ingratiating smiles. Instead of being a proper little girl, she insisted on becoming the boss.

Wang Tianyi recognized her identity the instant he looked at her!

A Ten Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit in 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 few traits of a shut-in nerd. After all, who did not like cute little rabbits?

It had to be said that Xiao Wu truly was beautiful after taking human form. Wang Tianyi really did desire her body—or at least, that was how he had felt before meeting her.

But now...

Soul beast. Those two words hung over his head like an inescapable dark cloud.

Admit it! Wang Tianyi simply could not stand such an alien creature! Humans were humans, and soul beasts were soul beasts. Although a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in 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 were natural enemies! Coexistence? Absolutely impossible! Once a soul beast, always a soul beast!

What was more, she was a hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit. Over her long life, before she gained intelligence, this body might have birthed dozens of litters of baby rabbits! Seriously, what was Tang God King thinking? Shouldn't that blue-haired guy dye his hair green to look more fitting?

His instinctive disgust made Wang Tianyi frown tightly, but then Heaven-Equaling's saintly personality began acting up again. Heaven-Equaling and Six Ears were already arguing fiercely inside Wang Tianyi's mind. They fought and roared 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 super god-tier martial souls argued endlessly. Wang Tianyi was extremely irritated, but 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 yet. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form! That meant a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring plus a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. How could he waste that?

That was all! It was not that he would not kill her, but that the time had not come. He could not yet squeeze out her maximum value!

As for the other factor that theoretically existed: Tang Hao regarded this rabbit as his son's future Soul Ring and would never allow anyone else to lay a hand on her.

Wang Tianyi was not worried about that. After all, he had already beaten Tang San, so the two had formed a grudge. Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo, but with the absurd mindset of the tournament-tier 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 take Wang Tianyi's talent into account and put chains around him, turning him into a dog of the Tang family. But with Wang Tianyi's personality, there was absolutely no way he would accept that! Not even a temporary bowing of his head!

Lacking a powerful guardian was Wang Tianyi's greatest weakness 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 one beast! Killing Tang San would bring Tang Hao's retaliation, while Yu Xiaogang would also destroy him at all costs. And if he killed Yu Xiaogang, he would directly face Bibi Dong. Tang Hao would most likely not spare him either...

So, was he supposed to surrender helplessly?

Tang Hao... I hope you can act like a human being. Otherwise, my Heaven-Sweeping Cloak does not care who you are!

Who did not have a trump card?

Wang Tianyi's greatest reliance was the system, followed by 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 the power system of Douluo Continent, only an extremely powerful God King was qualified to damage the cloak in the slightest! And the duration of the seal... a full ten years!

If Tang Hao truly came knocking, Wang Tianyi would definitely use this trump card to preserve his life. By the time Tang Hao awakened, the offense and defense would likely have switched places.

Wang Tianyi walked toward his dormitory while thinking. He did not want trouble, nor did he want to get involved with Xiao Wu for the time being, but it seemed someone did not feel the same way...

"Hey! Hey! I'm talking to you. Stop right there!"

A crisp, domineering voice came from behind Wang Tianyi.

Wang Tianyi stopped.

Veins bulged on his forehead.
