Upgrading His Martial Soul, Defying Tang San

The two returned to Dorm Seven. Tang San was already sitting cross-legged on his bed, dressed in white, looking every inch an expert cultivating.

"Boss, this is the best bedding in Nuoding City. Does it look all right?" Wang Sheng immediately scurried over like an eager lackey and pointed at the bedding on the bed.

Cao De nodded.

The moment Xiao Wu saw the exquisite bedding, she flung herself onto it.

"It's so comfortable!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.

"This quilt is pretty big, too," Cao De said with a smile.

"It sure is."

"Why don't you push your bed over here and share half your quilt with me? It's big enough anyway." Xiao Wu tilted her little head up, blinking her big eyes at Cao De.

"Hmm... all right."

"Yay!" Xiao Wu happily rolled around on the bed.

"But I have a condition." Cao De rubbed his chin.

"We have to draw a dividing line. You're not allowed to cross it."

"I wouldn't cross it anyway!"

Xiao Wu went to the bed beside his and pushed with all her might, but she wasn't strong enough.

Tang San watched everything while meditating, an empty feeling settling in his heart.

He finally understood what that emptiness meant. Xiao Wu belonged to him. The man before him had stolen his woman.

Fury churned in Tang San's eyes.

"Tang San, give Xiao Wu a hand. She isn't strong enough." Cao De lay on the bed and stretched.

"Why don't you help her?" Tang San demanded.

"Do you hate Xiao Wu that much? You won't even do this tiny favor?" Cao De looked utterly incredulous.

"Who needs his help? I can do it myself!" Xiao Wu stubbornly kept pushing with all her strength.

Wang Sheng and the others wanted to help, but one look from Cao De sent each of them off to find something else to do.

Tang San clenched his fists. He didn't want Xiao Wu to dislike him.

Forcing himself to endure the pain, he walked over to her.

Xiao Wu shifted a little to the side.

Why is that pervert Tang San getting so close to me?

Yet delight flashed through Tang San's eyes.

Xiao Wu is making room for me so I can help.

Compared with Cao De lying on his bed, Xiao Wu must see the difference. She must think of me as someone who's happy to help others.

At that thought, the corners of Tang San's mouth lifted slightly.

He crouched down and pushed the bed over with all his strength.

Even though his little brother hurt so badly he could barely stand it, Tang San maintained a calm expression.

"Done." Tang San brushed off some nonexistent dust.

"Thank you."

Xiao Wu took a handkerchief from her bundle and carefully wiped the edge of the bed.

She really loves keeping things clean. Approval flashed through Tang San's eyes.

Cao De stared dumbfounded from his bed.

Wait, where are my Emotion Points?

How did doing a little work actually make this bastard happy?

Who knew how Cao De would have felt if he had known what Tang San had just been thinking?

Xiao Wu placed her bundle between the two beds.

"This is the dividing line. You can't cross it."

"No problem." Cao De nodded.

Just as I thought, Xiao Wu doesn't like Cao De. He's only forcing her.

[Tang San feels resentment and anger toward you. Emotion Points +15]

Fifteen points wasn't bad. Cao De nodded in satisfaction.

Night fell.

Everyone washed up and lay down in their own beds.

Xiao Wu took the dividing line very seriously, even shifting farther to the side before falling asleep.

Cao De waited a while, then called to the system in his mind.

System, upgrade my Martial Soul.

[Martial Soul upgrade commencing]

At the system's command, Cao De felt himself lose control of his body, and his field of vision began to change.

He could see himself sleeping soundly, Xiao Wu grinding her teeth beside him, and Tang San sitting cross-legged in meditation.

That glance revealed something startling.

Tang San opened his eyes, looked around, then pulled his pants down to his thighs.

His bandage-wrapped dick was exposed.

It was quite an eyesore.

Cao De immediately looked away. One more glance and his eyes would explode.

Time ticked by, second after second.

Xiao Wu began wriggling, inching toward the dividing line.

One hand landed on the bundle marking the line. She grabbed it and tossed it aside, then began wriggling toward Cao De.

Her arm naturally wrapped around the motionless Cao De, and she found a comfortable position nestled in his embrace.

Cao De silently watched it all.

Crack.

A faint sound rang out in the silent Dorm Seven, immediately drawing Cao De's attention.

He instinctively turned to look.

What he saw made him want to laugh.

Tang San's fists were tightly clenched.

The sound had come from his fingers as he clenched them.

He was clearly furious.

But after watching for just a moment, he turned his head away.

Time ticked by, second after second.

[Martial Soul upgrade successful]

The system's voice sounded in Cao De's mind. His perspective shifted at the same time, and he soon regained control of his body.

System, Personal Attribute Panel.

[Host: Cao De]

[Martial Soul: Thousand-Blade Demon Sword. Soul Power: Level 7]

[Cultivation methods: Great Sun Heart Method, Anti-Tang Sect Manual (partial)]

[Emotion Points: 235 (available for use in the Shop)]

The Thousand-Blade Demon Sword!

It had actually upgraded into that weapon! Cao De had watched the animation and knew the Thousand-Blade Demon Sword. All offense and no defense, it was ridiculously powerful.

Cao De was ecstatic.

Seeing his Soul Power, however, left him feeling rather miserable.

Only level seven. That little cheat Tang San in the next bed had started at level ten-but Cao De was the bigger cheat.

Heh, heh, heh.

System, open the Shop.

The pale blue screen before him changed, and several products appeared in Cao De's view.

[Intermediate Laser Eyes: 1,000]

[Magnetic Hand: 5,000]

Those numbers chilled Cao De's heart.

After all his hard work, he had only earned 235 Emotion Points, most of them milked out of Tang San.

Thinking back to how Emotion Points were earned, the more influential a character was in the book, and the stronger their feelings toward him, the more points he could obtain.

No one in the book was more influential than Tang San. Cao De knew perfectly well how strongly Tang San felt about him.

Even after all that, he had only earned 235 Emotion Points.

He had a heavy burden and a long road ahead.

System, do you have any way to increase Soul Power?

[The Great Sun Heart Method can slowly increase Soul Power through daily cultivation. When a man and woman practice the Sun Method together, both can rapidly increase their Soul Power.]

[Purchase Soul Power: 1 Soul Power-100 Emotion Points]

Hiss, that's a little expensive. But this Sun Method is worth some serious consideration. It suits me perfectly.

System, do you have any way to obtain Soul Rings? Cao De asked again in his mind.

[The host can hunt Soul Beasts himself.]

You're not that capable, are you? I thought you could do anything, buddy.

[Upgrade a Ten-Year Soul Ring to a Hundred-Year Soul Ring-Emotion Points: 50]

[Upgrade a Hundred-Year Soul Ring to a Thousand-Year Soul Ring-Emotion Points: 150]

The later upgrades required even more Emotion Points.

This is daylight robbery! Cao De lost his composure.

[Broke loser.]

The system mocked him outright.

Cao De closed the system interface, cursing under his breath.

The system had pissed him off, so he was going to piss Tang San off.

Cao De gently moved the arm draped over him aside.

He reached a hand into the air.

The Sleeve Arrow on Tang San's arm slowly floated upward.

Tang San instantly sensed something wrong. His eyes snapped open, a flash of purple passing through his pupils.

How is this possible?

No, this is Cao De's doing.

Tang San's fingers immediately became smooth and lustrous as jade as he reached for the floating Sleeve Arrow.

His reaction came in the blink of an eye.

But how could a little cheat compete with a bigger cheat?

Cao De twitched his finger.

The Sleeve Arrow shot down and stabbed into Tang San's already injured dick.

Hiss-ah!

Tang San screamed soundlessly, his fists clenched tight, veins bulging on his arms and forehead.

Seeing Tang San like that made Cao De feel much better.

He reached out and pulled Xiao Wu into his arms.

He closed his eyes and went to sleep!

Tang San pulled the Sleeve Arrow out of his little brother.

A thin spurt of blood burst from the wound and sprayed his face.

Cao De, may you die a horrible death!!!

I, Tang San, will never rest until one of us is dead!!

Tang San roared inwardly.

He wanted nothing more than to kill Cao De right then.

But he couldn't beat him yet. Cao De's methods were too bizarre; he could control the hidden weapons Tang San took such pride in.

For now, all he could do was endure.

His chance to turn the tables would come later.

Tomorrow, once he obtained his Soul Ring.

Heh, heh.

I'll let your little brother have a taste of this delightful sensation, too.

Naturally, Cao De had no idea what Tang San was thinking.

If he had known, his only concern would have been whether that stab would make Tang San's pee split into two streams.
