However, he could also tell.
Although Tang San currently had the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record at his disposal.
He had yet to awaken Blue Silver Grass's control skills, after all.
Nor had he perfected Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
And Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who had taken human form.
Although she had started cultivating her soul power anew.
The combat instincts and soft techniques etched into her bones were still terrifying.
On top of that, Tang San was clearly underestimating his opponent a little, holding back at every turn because he didn't want to hurt a girl.
So the current situation was-a fifty-fifty split.
"Bang!"
The two exchanged another blow, each retreating several steps.
Tang San's brows knitted tightly, his arms tingling slightly.
This little girl was so strong!
And those soft techniques were extremely troublesome.
Xiao Wu was panting slightly too.
The excitement on her face grew even stronger:
"Not bad! You actually managed to withstand my attacks!"
"Looks like you're qualified to be my underling!"
"Again!"
Seeing that the two were about to get serious.
Tang Tian knew it was about time.
If they kept fighting and really lost their tempers, it wouldn't be good if they tore the dorm apart.
He quietly activated [Blue Silver · Mimicry].
A cool, tranquil aura instantly enveloped the two.
Tang San and Xiao Wu felt a coolness wash over their hearts.
Their fiery competitiveness inexplicably dissipated.
"All right, stop."
Tang Tian spoke calmly, his voice quiet.
Yet it carried a strange penetrating power.
Xiao Wu, who had been about to charge forward again, froze.
That familiar, enticing scent that made her feel comfortable all over had appeared again.
And it was even richer than before!
She felt her whole body go soft.
Her tense muscles instantly relaxed.
Even her urge to fight inexplicably disappeared.
"Mmm..."
Xiao Wu sniffed.
She turned toward Tang Tian, drool almost slipping uncontrollably from the corner of her mouth:
"You smell so good..."
"No more fighting, no more fighting... fighting isn't anywhere near as nice as smelling this..."
Tang San was stunned too.
He discovered to his surprise.
The somewhat restless internal energy in his body had instantly settled down.
Even its circulation had sped up a little.
Was this Big Brother's ability?
Tang Tian smiled faintly and withdrew his aura.
He walked forward, stood between the two, and said to Xiao Wu:
"Since you're such a good fighter and have so much energy, you can be the boss of Dorm Seven from now on."
"Keeping order, leading fights, cleaning up messes-all that crap is yours."
"Wang Sheng, none of you have any objections, right?"
Wang Sheng and the others were cowed by that inexplicable presence.
They shook their heads like rattle-drums:
"No objections! Absolutely none!"
How would they dare object?
Of these two newly arrived brothers, the younger could fight the violent little girl to a draw.
Although the elder hadn't made a move, that unruffled composure of his.
Clearly made him seem even more like a demon king behind the scenes!
It felt like our Dorm Seven was about to soar into the heavens!
Yet at that moment, all hell broke loose in Tang Tian's Sea of Consciousness.
[Little Iron Hammer (exasperated at his failure to live up to expectations)] [Aaah! You're infuriating me!] [Idiot Tang Tian! What are you doing?! Why are you letting this brat be the boss?] [You should pull me out and knock them all flat with one blow!] [Then plant your foot on a table and declare, "I'm the boss here!"] [That's what you call presence! That's what you call showing off, understand?!] [You actually handed someone else a chance to steal the spotlight? Are you even a man?!]
The corner of Tang Tian's mouth twitched slightly, leaving him speechless.
Little Iron Hammer usually seemed so haughty and prickly.
Who would have thought she was a show-off with delusions of grandeur at heart?
What was there to show off about being the boss of a bunch of work-study students? Being their nanny?
By now, Xiao Wu was completely captivated by Tang Tian's aura.
She skipped over to Tang Tian.
Not bothering to maintain any airs as the boss.
She simply hugged Tang Tian's arm and refused to let go.
Pressing her face against his sleeve, she rubbed it back and forth:
"Heehee, you're the best!"
"I'll be the boss! If anyone dares bully you, I'll flatten them!"
Just as Xiao Wu approached Tang Tian.
Inside this Sea of Consciousness.
[Blue Silver Grass Little Blue (trembling)] [Waaah... Master... help...] [This girl... is so scary...] [Although she's really cute, but, but I feel like she'll eat me!] [This is the aura of a natural enemy! A villain who eats grass!] [Little Blue doesn't dare speak anymore. Master, don't let her eat you...]
Tang Tian glanced thoughtfully at Xiao Wu, who was clinging to his arm.
Indeed.
Rabbits ate grass; that was the natural order of things.
To Little Blue, who was Blue Silver Grass.
Xiao Wu, a hundred-thousand-year soft bone rabbit.
Was nothing short of oppressive pressure from the top of the food chain.
No wonder Little Blue was too frightened to breathe loudly.
On one side was a hammer raging furiously because he wouldn't show off.
On the other was a little blade of grass trembling in fear of being eaten.
Tang Tian sighed.
Not a single one of them let him rest easy.
Meanwhile, his younger brother Tang San stood nearby.
Watching Xiao Wu cling to his big brother like a koala, veins bulged on his forehead.
This damned rabbit!
Was she openly taking liberties with my big brother?!
He was just about to step forward and peel this rabbit off.
When a knock suddenly came from outside the dormitory door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
An older student wearing a dark green school uniform stood in the doorway.
He glanced at the scene inside the dormitory with a somewhat strange expression.
Then coughed:
"Um... which one of you is Tang San?"
"Grandmaster wants you to come to his office."
"Grandmaster?"
Tang San paused, his expression instantly darkening.
That Grandmaster whom Big Brother had just verbally beaten into a stray dog at the school gates?
What did he want with him?
Tang Tian raised his eyebrows, a trace of amusement flashing through his eyes.
This Yu Xiaogang really was a lingering ghost.
Was he trying to regain some face?
Or had he taken an interest in Tang San's twin martial souls and wanted to take him as a disciple to prove himself?
"I'm not going."
Without even thinking, Tang San refused coldly:
"I barely know him."
"Besides, I'm busy."
What a joke. This shameless rabbit was still clinging to Big Brother!
If I left and ended up ranking second in Big Brother's heart, how could that be allowed?
I absolutely couldn't leave!
The older student froze, seemingly not expecting such a blunt refusal.
"Uh... Grandmaster said he's doing this for your own good and wants to discuss martial soul cultivation with you."
"He said your Blue Silver Grass has innate full soul power, and only he knows how you should cultivate. You'll regret it if you don't go."
The same old spiel again.
Tang Tian sneered inwardly.
This was Yu Xiaogang's usual trick.
Creating anxiety!
Hearing this, Tang San scoffed even more disdainfully.
"Only he knows?"
"A rank-29 Soul Grandmaster wants to teach me how to cultivate with innate full soul power?"
"Let him figure out his own cultivation first."
"Tell him I'm not interested."
Helpless, the older student could only slink away.
Watching the student's retreating figure.
Tang Tian patted Tang San's shoulder and said earnestly:
"Little San, well done."
"Some trash belongs in the bin. Don't let him dirty your eyes."
Tang San nodded seriously:
"I know, Big Brother."
"Having you teach me is enough. I don't need any Grandmaster."
Tang San turned toward Xiao Wu:
"How much longer are you planning to hug him?"
Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue.
She didn't understand why Tang San was so hostile!
But both her hands still clung tightly to Tang Tian's arm.
As though the fresh, juicy giant carrot before her would run away the moment she let go.
Looking at this utterly unguarded hundred-thousand-year shameless rabbit before him, who had even delivered herself to his door.
And at that moment, Tang Tian began to have a bold idea.
His current system abilities mainly focused on communicating with his own Martial Souls and building their affection toward him.
Little Blue and the Little Iron Hammer had both developed consciousnesses of their own.
Their personalities were wildly different, though: one had social anxiety, while the other had a case of adolescent delusions of grandeur.
But increasing their affection really did yield feedback.
That raised a question:
Did this system's criteria only extend to "Martial Souls I possess"?
