[Ding! Xiao Wu's favorability +10, current favorability 46!]
The system prompt sounded, and Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.
He hadn't expected favorability to jump by ten points directly.
It seemed that coming clean to Xiao Wu had let her know her future fate.
These matters were of vital importance to her, and would even directly affect the lives of her and her loved ones.
That was why her favorability had been able to rise by so much.
As for why his favorability with Tang San had dropped so drastically, it was mainly because she had discovered that years of affection turned out to be a lie in the end.
There was the saying that the deeper the love, the deeper the hate.
It was easy to raise favorability with Xiao Wu on Tang San's end, but the drop was also dramatic when it happened.
Opening the Goddess Codex, the updated information showed...
During the time he chatted with her, Xiao Wu's inner emotions had been like a roller coaster, fluctuating wildly.
There was pain, remorse, resentment, sadness...
Multiple emotions intertwined together.
Yet it finally settled into calm.
After extreme joy and sorrow came ultimate calmness.
Lin Xiao felt no regret whatsoever about coming clean.
He was even thinking that if he had known it was this easy to farm favorability, he should have spoken up sooner.
The system made him farm goddess favorability, which meant he would become an enemy of the protagonist faction, and might even become an enemy of the villain faction as well.
Therefore, he had to grow up as fast as possible by all means necessary.
He needed to grow to a point where neither the righteous nor the evil factions could shake him.
Besides, speaking of these things in advance could also be considered helping Xiao Wu gain liberation.
He really was such a great guy!
Otherwise, wouldn't it be even more cruel to let Xiao Wu know the truth after her feelings for Tang San underwent a qualitative change?
Xiao Wu had already made the Phantom God's Heart recognize her as master, following Lin Xiao's instructions.
After the blood-binding recognition, the Phantom God's Heart flew up to her neck on its own and hung there.
"It looks great."
Lin Xiao offered a word of praise.
Although Xiao Wu still looked tender and youthful right now, this necklace matched her fair skin remarkably well.
"Mm, thank you."
Xiao Wu said in a low voice.
After the blood-binding recognition, she already understood all the functions of the necklace.
The moment she put it on, she could feel that her mental power had increased significantly, and even her soul power circulation had become much faster.
Moreover, her soul beast aura was completely hidden.
Even if a Titled Douluo came, it would be entirely impossible to recognize her identity.
In this human society, she could finally be considered truly safe.
At the same time, the necklace could also be concealed so that no one would discover it.
Although Tang San and Tang Hao knew her identity.
Since the two of them were plotting her soul ring and soul bone, they naturally wouldn't say anything to the outside world.
Before confirming her relationship with Tang San, Tang Hao's subsequent plans would not proceed either.
"Go back to the dormitory first, and remember not to give yourself away. Also, my identity..."
Lin Xiao was still uneasy and continued with his instructions.
Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't reveal your identity."
Lin Xiao had transmigrated from the future with the goal of changing the fate of civilian soul masters.
And he had changed her fate as well.
Thinking about it, he was a really great guy.
Such a great guy couldn't be allowed to get screwed over by Tang San.
Therefore, she absolutely must not leak Lin Xiao's identity.
Otherwise, Tang Hao might make a move again.
If it were a sneak attack, Lin Xiao might not even have time to execute his Invincible Golden Body.
The two walked into the academy and returned to their respective dormitories.
Xiao Wu didn't notice that just after she entered the dormitory, Tang San-who was carrying a food tray-stopped in his tracks, his fists clenched tight.
Was she just walking back together with Lin Xiao?
He turned his head to look at Lin Xiao's dormitory.
If he hadn't seen wrong, Xiao Wu had walked back together with Lin Xiao.
Where on earth had they gone before?
Dammit.
He had only taken his eyes off things for just a little while, yet Lin Xiao had seized the opportunity to make a move.
He needed to find a chance to properly put Lin Xiao in his place.
Yet the other party was already at level thirty.
There was no telling when the Heaven-Bestowed Soul Ring would appear again.
Did he really stand a chance of winning?
Yes, he must!
Aside from his soul master abilities, he also had Tang Sect methods.
Hidden Weapons would definitely be able to keep Lin Xiao under control.
As long as he crafted high-tier Hidden Weapons, even if Lin Xiao reached the Soul King realm, he would still end up defeated.
Besides that, he also had the Mysterious Heaven Skill and various other methods.
His advantages were definitely something Lin Xiao couldn't compare to.
The advantage is mine, the advantage is mine!
Tang San took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger surging in his heart.
He couldn't get too angry right now, lest he fall right into Lin Xiao's trap.
"Tang San, what are you looking at?"
Oscar opened the door and saw Tang San standing outside, looking somewhat puzzled.
Why was he staring fixedly at the girls' dormitory?
Could it be...
He almost forgot, Tang San probably held some special feelings for Xiao Wu; it definitely wasn't a pure brother-sister bond.
Yet looking at Xiao Wu's appearance, she seemed to be getting quite close to Lin Xiao.
The moment he thought of Lin Xiao, he naturally thought of Ning Rongrong.
It hurt his heart like nothing else.
Lin Xiao was already walking that close to Ning Rongrong, so why was he still flirting with Xiao Wu?
Could he have just one girl and leave the others to them?
By what right did he monopolize two beauties?
"It's nothing, I'm going to cultivate first."
Tang San turned and left after saying that.
He had to craft Hidden Weapons, he must craft them.
Then he would find a chance to challenge Lin Xiao.
He had been thoroughly shown up by Lin Xiao during the entrance exam, and he had lost too much face.
He had to prove his strength.
In the past, no matter where he went, as long as he flashed his cultivation, he would always be the center of attention in the crowd.
Yet now, Lin Xiao's monstrosity had cast him into obscurity.
If he didn't win back his face, he would eventually be completely eclipsed by Lin Xiao's radiance in the future, and no one would ever pay attention to him again.
Even Xiao Wu's attention would be completely drawn away.
Wanting to develop a further relationship with Xiao Wu would also become nearly impossible.
Lin Xiao, having returned to the dormitory, had already received his mission reward.
[Ding! Host completed task: Inform Xiao Wu of the truth, reward World Memory Fragment (Xiao Wu Version), Third Soul Ring, External Soul Bone!]
The reward was stored within the System Storage Space.
A thirty-thousand-year soul ring, along with an External Soul Bone.
"This thing... a growth-type External Soul Bone Wind-Thunder Twin Wings?"
He was truly astonished when he saw the External Soul Bone.
This thing started at the ten-thousand-year level right off the bat, and would continue to upgrade along with the increase in his cultivation.
The Wind-Thunder Twin Wings were extremely dazzling. The wing bones were glossy and smooth like mutton-fat jade, with interwoven pathways engraved with cyan-green wind patterns and purple-gold thunder patterns.
The translucent crystal wing membranes resembled colored glaze, with cyan-green wind vortices slowly circling and flowing between the patterns. Purple-gold electrical arcs slithered and leapt along the wing bones, constantly bursting forth with fine, sharp bolts of lightning.
A row of sharp crystal thorns grew along the edges of the wings, and when fully unfolded, the wings reached a width of three zhang.
Fierce winds surged, lightning galloped and wandered across the wing surfaces, and wave after wave of wind and thunder roars scattered in all directions.
Cyan and purple intertwined brilliance scattered across the sky, dazzling to the eye.
Such a dazzling External Soul Bone could be absorbed right now.
He took out the Wind-Thunder Twin Wings and decisively began the absorption.
The absolute most important characteristic of an External Soul Bone was its growth.
According to the system's introduction, if he reached the realm of a Titled Douluo, this thing could definitely reach the hundred-thousand-year level.
However, even a ten-thousand-year-level Wind-Thunder Twin Wings possessed terrifyingly monstrous lethality.
