Double Standards-That's How We Play!

Xiao Yan had a huge black question mark hovering over his head.

He had thought Wang Tianyi and Xiao Wu knew each other and had some ambiguous relationship, but now that he looked at it...

Big bro, what kind of straight-up steel man were you? How could you say something like that to such a delicate, adorable girl?

This wasn't right, was it? He had finally come across such juicy gossip, yet he did not even get a single bite! Damn it, why would they not let him have it?

"You! I didn't come here to pick a fight!"

Xiao Wu's cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish, but after spending so many days in the human world, she had learned a little about human etiquette.

"What happened that day was my fault. I apologize to you!"

Xiao Wu's attitude was fairly sincere, but Wang Tianyi showed no sign of accepting it.

There was no need to doubt it—exactly as he thought! A soul beast was a soul beast. Once a soul beast, always a soul beast! As a human racist, Wang Tianyi was already being merciful by not smashing the back of Xiao Wu's head with his staff!

"Mm, got it."

"Huh? What kind of attitude is that... Forget it. Can you tell me what your Martial Soul is?"

"No."

Wang Tianyi could not even be bothered to say another word. He packed up his things and made to leave the classroom.

"Tianyi, how could you treat her like that? She's such a cute little girl. We should be gentler! Little sister..."

Xiao Yan wanted to show off his gentlemanly side and make a clumsy attempt at flirting, but to Xiao Wu, a hundred-thousand-year-old Rascal Rabbit, it was no different from a three-year-old showing off his gaming skills.

"Little sister my ass! Call me Sister Xiao Wu! And get that face of yours away from me—it's ugly as hell!"

The overbearing girl revealed her true colors, leaving Xiao Yan furious. He pointed at Xiao Wu with a trembling hand, unable to say a word for a long while. In an extremely foul mood, Xiao Wu made to teach this rude human brat a lesson. Her long scorpion braid lashed out, only to be blocked by a pen.

"Damn! You ungrateful brat, is that it? Fine, just wait! Those work-study students call you their boss, so let's have a match. If you lose, you'll be my pet rabbit!"

Xiao Yan watched Wang Tianyi's hand blocking the space before him and gulped. In the end, both angry and enraged, he challenged Xiao Wu to a duel. Naturally, Xiao Wu did not back down in the slightest and accepted on the spot. Wang Tianyi, standing beside them, felt something stir in his heart. Had the conflict at Notting Academy happened earlier than it should have? It seemed that even if a butterfly were conjured from nothing in this vast world, the air stirred by its flapping wings could still bring enormous changes to this world.

Wang Tianyi shook his head, then left without looking back. Xiao Yan, who had wanted to throw out a few more harsh words, hurried after him. He truly did not have the courage to face Xiao Wu alone. Just the wind raised by her scorpion braid had made him realize that he was no match for her.

"Um, Tianyi, I heard from the people in your dormitory that you're pretty strong. So... you'll help me, right?"

Xiao Yan followed behind Wang Tianyi and asked cautiously. He was straightforward, but not stupid. From Xiao Wu's attitude just now, he could tell that the little girl who frightened him had probably suffered at Wang Tianyi's hands before! What was there to see in a duel between Junior Soul Master Academy students? The strongest among them were only junior Soul Masters, and there were only a handful of those in the academy. The main fighting force was still ordinary Soul Warriors with Soul Power at levels six or seven.

"I'm not interested in this kind of thing. I just want to cultivate."

Wang Tianyi had no interest whatsoever in children's fights. He would rather use the time to practice his staff techniques a few more times or meditate on his Soul Power a little longer.

With a righteous look on his face, he unhesitatingly refused Xiao Yan's request. With his strength, fighting a bunch of work-study students would be bullying the weak. Not even a dog would do that...

However...

"Oh, how can you say that? We're good friends! Look, you know who I am. My father is the city lord. If I remember correctly, Senior Wang Chen, your father, should be the owner of a martial arts school in the city, right? But I think your uncle's school is in too remote a location. That beast arena in the city center should have been demolished long ago. Why not move your uncle's martial arts school there instead?"

So this guy had been playing dumb all along. He had already investigated Wang Tianyi's identity, and he had also obtained Wang Tianyi's information from the Spirit Hall Branch!

Being investigated felt somewhat unpleasant, but Wang Tianyi had to admit that Xiao Yan's suggestion did tempt him.

Although Wang Chen's martial arts school was the number one martial arts school in Notting City, it was in a remote location and the area was not particularly good. There were not many apprentices in the school, and it merely supported a relatively respectable life. If they could move the school to that enormous beast arena, his adoptive father's life would surely become much better than it was now!

[Detected: a large-scale brawl is about to erupt at Notting Academy! Choice triggered!]

[Option One: Ignore it. Matters outside cultivation have nothing to do with me!]

[Reward: One Centennial Kidney Spirit Grass! (The ultimate choice for strengthening your body at home or on the road! Consume it, and you will become Optimus Prime! Well, I have a friend...)]

[Option Two: Accept Xiao Yan's invitation and go wild against the soon-to-return Tang San!]

[Reward: Douluo Continent version of the "Great Product Heavenly Immortal Art"! Top-tier Soul Power meditation method! (Young man, I see that your bones are extraordinary. I bestow this "Great Product Heavenly Immortal Art" upon you.)]

[Option Three: Help Xiao Wu! This is destined to be a forbidden love that the world will never approve of...]

[Reward: Xiao Wu's favorability, Tang San's hostility! (Good, good, so there's NTR even after transmigrating, huh?)]

After encountering members of this world's original protagonist group, Wang Tianyi's system had clearly become much more active. See? It was bringing him gifts again!

As for what to choose...

"Oh, Brother Xiao Yan, you're being so polite that you're making me embarrassed. Fine, just have someone notify me when the time comes! We're good friends—how could I not help you?"

Damn! Bullying the weak was exactly what he would do!

Wang Tianyi thoroughly demonstrated what double standards were and what it meant to change faces faster than a dog. A moment ago, he had looked utterly righteous and disdainful of bullying the weak. Yet now, he looked eager for chaos to engulf the world, seeming even more excited for the fight than Xiao Yan!

Sun Wukong looked righteous. What did that have to do with me, the Six-Eared Macaque?

Not even a dog would do it?

I'm not a dog. I'm human, and my Martial Soul is a monkey. I'll do it!

That was the joy of double standards!

There was nothing to hesitate over regarding the choice, either. Wang Tianyi decisively chose the second option. As for the first... he had no use for its reward. Even if he took it, he could only toss it into the trash. Even if he wanted to send it across worlds to all the handsome Yanzus before the screen, he could not, because Yanzus did not need it in the first place.

He decisively passed on the third option as well. He hated favorability and the like the most. He had come to this world to grow stronger and enjoy an unfettered life, not to embark on a romance journey as long, smelly, and tedious as foot-binding cloth!

The second option's "Great Product Heavenly Immortal Art," meanwhile, perfectly suited Wang Tianyi's current circumstances. He desperately needed a high-level meditation method! The meditation method taught at the Junior Soul Master Academy was the most basic kind. Its rate of Soul Power improvement was even slower than the method Wang Chen had passed down to Wang Tianyi, let alone comparable to the advanced meditation methods possessed by major powers like Spirit Hall.

Besides, the name "Great Product Heavenly Immortal Art" just sounded unbelievably cool!
