Yuan-Wu Power

"Xiao Wu, how much longer do you need to cultivate before you become a Soul Grandmaster?"

Xu Yuan frowned. His soul power had already reached level 30.

If possible, he wanted to acquire a soul ring as soon as he could.

"Aaaah..."

"Stop rushing me! Sister Xiao Wu is working hard!"

"Ever since you came back, I haven't gone out to play at all. I've even been eating fewer carrots! I've been cultivating hard every day."

Xiao Wu pouted, speaking dejectedly.

With her innate full soul power, she had already been cultivating as hard as she possibly could.

"Then... how about you draw me a map of the Star Dou Great Forest, and I'll follow it for a look around?"

"Don't even think about taking this chance to leave Sister Xiao Wu behind!"

Xiao Wu put on a "vicious" expression and pounced on Xu Yuan.

Her soft, fair arms wrapped tightly around his neck, and she hung from him like a koala.

"Then what can we do? It's not like I can help you cultivate..."

Before he could finish speaking-

Xu Yuan and Xiao Wu both shuddered. They instinctively looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

When Xiao Wu hung from Xu Yuan, their bodies seemed to connect, allowing their soul power to flow between them.

As he drew Xiao Wu's soul power into his body and it entered his circulation system, Xu Yuan's cultivation speed more than doubled!

When Xu Yuan tried injecting his soul power into Xiao Wu's body-

"Huh? Slow down, Xu Yuan! You're going to fill me up!"

Xiao Wu felt her soul power surge rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had exceeded what her body could hold.

Immersed in that power, Xiao Wu's rabbit eyes grew hazy, her hands weakened, and her body tilted back slightly. She nearly fell off him.

Xu Yuan raised his hands in time, easily cupping her soft, pert little bottom and keeping her from falling to the floor.

"That fucking Buddha Tang is still haunting me!"

"Isn't this the Haodong Power that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had ten thousand years later?"

"Could my gradual fusion with Xiao Wu's hundred-thousand-year soul beast origin have deepened the connection between us?"

Unlike Xiao Wu, who was enjoying herself, Xu Yuan had already realized what was happening.

As their soul power circulated between them, Xu Yuan faintly sensed a resonance with Xiao Wu's martial soul.

It wasn't that Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul was compatible with his Wish-Granting Tree martial soul. Rather, the Wish-Granting Tree could make itself backward-compatible.

Perhaps before long, Xu Yuan and Xiao Wu would develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Wang Sheng, who had been standing nearby, quietly slipped away, his eyes roaming the sky. What a blue sky. What green trees. Why does everyone have two legs?

Oh, I forgot. Grandmaster Yu only has one leg left now.

"Xu Yuan, how did this happen?" Xiao Wu asked, delighted.

"It looks like we've slept together too much!"

"At least all that sleeping wasn't for nothing!"

Xu Yuan felt that he, too, had the potential to become a theoretical grandmaster.

"Is that so? Then we need to sleep together more!" Xiao Wu excitedly rubbed her little face against Xu Yuan's chest.

"But, Xu Yuan, you haven't been entirely honest either!"

Xiao Wu suddenly narrowed her pretty eyes, her words carrying a pointed implication.

Xu Yuan's hands stiffened slightly around her pert bottom. "Haven't I? This is a matter of circumstances beyond my control, isn't it?"

Xiao Wu leaned close to Xu Yuan's ear and whispered, "Your soul power level definitely isn't just level twenty!"

With that, Xiao Wu lifted her little head proudly.

When her soul power entered Xu Yuan's body, it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, unable to stir even the slightest ripple.

Yet when Xu Yuan's soul power entered her body, it quickly filled her to the brim!

From that, Xiao Wu could deduce that Xu Yuan wasn't level twenty.

If that was the case, it was terrifying!

It meant Xu Yuan's soul power was already at the Soul Grandmaster level. Then what he wanted to hunt for in the Star Dou Great Forest was... his third soul ring?

An irrepressible shock rose in Xiao Wu's heart. Was this really a cultivation speed humans could achieve?

"Hehe, Xu Yuan, you wouldn't want other people to discover your soul power level, would you?"

"Sister Xiao Wu will keep your secret, but you have to help Sister Xiao Wu cultivate!"

Xiao Wu's eyes shifted slyly, and the corners of her mouth curled into a mischievous smile she couldn't hide.

Sure enough, the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest and her mother in heaven were both watching over her.

She had been lucky enough to meet Xu Yuan as soon as she entered the human world.

"..."

"Fine. I'll help you cultivate, and you can teach me about soul beasts!"

Xu Yuan gave Xiao Wu's pert bottom a little bounce and agreed.

Across the entire Nouding Academy, Yu Xiaogang's theoretical knowledge of soul beasts could indeed be considered extensive.

You could doubt Gangzi's competence, but you couldn't doubt the Spirit Hall's ten thousand years of accumulated knowledge.

In truth, however, besides Gangzi, Nouding Academy also harbored a genuine grandmaster of soul beast theory.

The real theoretical grandmaster, Xiao Wu: Ten-thousand-year soul beasts can cause Soul Shock!

The fake theoretical grandmaster, Gangzi: Soul Shock? What's that?

Whether it was identifying a Man Faced Demon Spider's age or knowing about ten-thousand-year Soul Shock, Xiao Wu's theoretical knowledge had been demonstrated to the fullest.

As for Yu Xiaogang... it was actually understandable.

Soul masters had good memories, but not to the point of remembering everything after a single glance.

Yu Xiaogang had only spent a few years in the library. Even if he had read everything once, he couldn't possibly remember it all.

"Could Yu Xiaogang's research at Nouding Academy just be writing out all that theoretical knowledge from memory?"

Xu Yuan felt that this possibility couldn't be ruled out.

"At least you know quality when you see it! Sister Xiao Wu has seen plenty of soul beast... books. I'll make sure you find a soul beast you're happy with!"

Xiao Wu felt she had this in the bag and began considering which kind of soul beast to choose for the second soul ring.

"Hey, shouldn't we give this cultivation method a name?"

"You're Xu Yuan, and I'm Xiao Wu. Let's call it Yuan-Wu Power!"

An excited expression appeared on Xiao Wu's little face.

"Too bland!"

"My name is Xu Yuan, and I have innate full soul power. Maybe we can use this method to cultivate our way to godhood someday!"

"So it should be called... Yuan-Shen Power!"

Xiao Wu immediately rejected Xu Yuan's suggestion. "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! That sounds awful. We're calling it Yuan-Wu Power!"

Xiao Wu wrinkled her dainty nose and settled on the final name.

Xu Yuan didn't object. He thought of the Blue Silver Emperor grass seed he was carrying.

If the Blue Silver Emperor could take human form, could they also perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

Xu Yuan shook his head and didn't dwell on it.

He had crushed the Blue Silver Emperor after careful consideration. She had retained Ah Yin's memories and soul within her.

Although he wasn't quite sure where Tang Hao was, he reckoned the man might be a hundred million percent dead.

That alone meant Ah Yin's position was inherently opposed to his.

"Xu Yuan, stop spacing out and help me cultivate!"

Xiao Wu hopped down from Xu Yuan and dragged him toward the dormitory.

And so, over the following stretch of time, Xu Yuan's life became extremely regular.

He either cultivated Yuan-Wu Power with Xiao Wu or had her teach him about soul beasts.

Even soul beast secrets that Yu Xiaogang might not know were things Xiao Wu could explain clearly from beginning to end.

As agreed, Xu Yuan also auctioned the Wish-Granting Tree's refreshed wish slots to other people in Nuoding City.

The soul masters competing for them were all too poor to squeeze much value out of, so Xu Yuan paid little attention to what followed.

Then, after several months of waiting, Xiao Wu broke through and became a Soul Grandmaster.

As it happened, Nouding Academy's first semester had just ended. Xiao Wu and Xu Yuan packed their luggage and set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.
