External Soul Bone: Feathered Burning Wings

[Host completed Roast Diary entry. Roast damage: low. Received External Soul Bone: Feathered Burning Wings!]

"Damn, are you sure this is a low-tier reward?"

Chu Bai sprang up from the bed. Within a blaze of scorching fire, a pair of flame wings that seemed to have been condensed from fire formed behind his back. The fiery aura swirling around them made the surrounding space faintly distort.

Though they were tangible wings, they looked no different from wings formed of energy.

"Qi Transformation Wings, not bad, not bad. I've become a Dou King powerhouse now, hehehe!"

Chu Bai said with a satisfied grin.

Although the Feathered Burning Wings had not brought him a breakthrough in Soul Power, Chu Bai could feel that after summoning them, the Soul Power within him seemed to boil, becoming more condensed and granting him greater combat strength than usual.

"Enough, time to sleep. Tomorrow, I'll go see just what kind of immortal this Yu Xiaogang really is."

The next day, Chu Bai got out of bed and leisurely wandered around Heaven Dou City for a while before finally leaving at an unhurried pace. He had no idea where Shrek Academy was. After all, who cared about a dump like that?

"Shrek Academy. What a terrible name."

Chu Bai shook his head. At his age, he fully met the requirements to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament.

Even if he did not bring it up himself, Bibi Dong would likely have him participate in the Elite Spirit Master Tournament. When the time came, he would certainly be fighting as a representative of Spirit Hall's team.

"When that time comes, I might as well form a one-man team."

As Chu Bai walked, he arrived near Suotuo City. He saw a group of people running toward him ahead. Since they were not on the same road, that group did not look in his direction.

However, a girl running at the very back of the group had fallen behind. Distracted as she was, she noticed Chu Bai watching from the side.

"Chu Bai, we meet again."

Ning Rongrong jogged over and spoke.

"What are you doing...?"

Chu Bai looked at the huge basket on Ning Rongrong's back, stuffed full of stones.

Those who knew would understand that she was training. Those who did not would think she was headed to the countryside market.

"A new teacher at our academy named Grandmaster came up with this training method. He wants us to run while carrying stones," Ning Rongrong complained. It was truly her first time seeing such a bizarre training method.

"Sure, sure."

Chu Bai was utterly speechless.

This Yu Xiaogang really knows how to scam people. Making them run with stones on their backs counts as training? I know that trick too. Does that mean I can become a teacher as well? Or is there really nothing in his head, so all he can do is make them carry stones?

I might as well teach them myself. Toss the entire group into the Star Dou Great Forest and let them fend for themselves. Anyone who survives would naturally be a promising one, but what the fuck would that have to do with you, Yu Xiaogang?

Xiao Wu, who was running, stumbled when she saw the contents of the diary and nearly fell.

Tang San, who had deliberately been running behind Xiao Wu, saw his chance and hurriedly ran to her side. "Xiao Wu, if you're tired, give me some of your stones. I'll help carry them."

"No need."

Xiao Wu answered expressionlessly, then passed Tang San as well as Oscar and Dai Mubai ahead of them.

"Little San, what's wrong with Xiao Wu? It's been several days already, hasn't it?" Dai Mubai moved closer.

Tang San was not in a good mood at the moment. He shook his head. "I don't know either. Xiao Wu has been like this ever since that day."

"That day... You mean the day that damned guy showed up?" Dai Mubai said coldly. "If I run into that guy again, I'll make him pay."

Tang San said nothing. Only he knew that Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu had met that person alone afterward. He did not know what they had talked about, but he had a feeling that Xiao Wu was angry at him because of that person.

"Little San, I think you should just be more forceful and have your way with Xiao Wu. Don't girls like that sort of thing? Just make it a done deal. Maybe Xiao Wu thinks you're too wooden?"

Ma Hongjun, covered in fat, ran over from the side and said this.

"What kind of training method is that? What the hell can it accomplish?" Chu Bai rolled his eyes.

"I don't really understand it either, but since I'm at Shrek Academy, I have no choice but to listen to him. Besides, he's Tang San's teacher. I heard he has something called the Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls."

Ning Rongrong could not help complaining.

"He stole all of those."

Chu Bai sighed helplessly. As the two continued talking, they saw a figure running over from behind.

It was Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, come here!"

Ning Rongrong waved at Xiao Wu. When Xiao Wu saw Ning Rongrong, then noticed Chu Bai beside her, she froze for a moment before instinctively walking over.

"What is it, Rong Rong?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Why are you still running? What can running like this teach us? I think Chu Bai is right. That Grandmaster is simply a huge fraud."

Ning Rongrong grabbed Xiao Wu while looking around to make sure no one was watching them.

"Does that Grandmaster often keep a certain saying on his lips?" Chu Bai asked with interest.

"Mm, it seems to be something like... there are no useless Martial Souls, only..."

Ning Rongrong pondered.

"There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Spirit Masters."

Xiao Wu finished for her.

Hearing that, Chu Bai smiled. "Then does that mean his level twenty-nine mutated pig Martial Soul cannot be considered a useless Martial Soul either?"

"Pfft..." Ning Rongrong burst out laughing. "By the way, Chu Bai, how do you know Grandmaster?"

"How could I not know? Not only do I know that Grandmaster, I look down on him too."

Chu Bai deliberately raised his voice when he said this.

Because he had already sensed that Tang San and the others had run over as well.

"It's you! You bastard, you still dare show your face in front of us!" Dai Mubai pointed at Chu Bai. Then he spotted Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong beside him and froze. Seemingly realizing something, he angrily shouted, "No wonder! Ning Rongrong, did you bring this guy here to deal with us?!"

Ning Rongrong had originally wanted to explain her relationship with Chu Bai, but Dai Mubai's questioning immediately angered her. "Dai Mubai, what do you mean? You think far too highly of yourself. What about you is even worth dealing with?"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Dai Mubai became even more convinced of his suspicions.

"Hmph, I thought you had truly changed and wanted to fit in with everyone. Now it seems you were only holding a grudge! You're still brooding over the time I taught you a lesson when you first enrolled, so you had this damned thing come here to pick a fight!"
