Xiao Wu, You Wouldn't Want Tang San to Find Out You're a Transformed Soul Beast, Would You?

"Ten years!"

"System, do you know how I've spent these past ten years?"

On the Back Mountain of Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, Link slumped on the ground amid a patch of blue silver grass, crying one moment and laughing the next.

Ten years!

Ten whole years since he'd transmigrated to the Douluo Continent!

Half an hour later, Link calmed down and began examining the functions of his Chat Group System.

"Motherfucker!"

Seeing that there wasn't a single member in the Chat Group, Link couldn't help swearing.

After examining it carefully, Link felt a little better.

At least it had a sign-in function!

"For my first sign-in, surely it won't give me some dime-a-dozen junk!"

Link immediately confirmed the sign-in.

[Congratulations, Group Leader. You have obtained the cultivation method: Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill!]

Along with a line of small golden text, the method for practicing the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill poured into Link's mind.

He had the cultivation method, but he had to practice it himself!

Link rolled his eyes, feeling that this Chat Group System was good for nothing.

"Just as I thought, it's still trash!"

"I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up!"

Just as Link was about to exit the Chat Group System interface, he saw another line of small golden text appear.

[Potential group member detected. The Group Leader may invite members to join the group. When a member joins, the Group Leader will receive a random system reward!]

Then the golden text vanished, replaced by a golden arrow pointing toward the Soul Master Academy's main gate.

"So that's how you want to play?"

"Fine!"

Link stood up, deciding to see what shenanigans this Chat Group was up to now.

Other Chat Groups started out full of beautiful women-young girls, gorgeous mature women, everything one could want.

But with his, he had to invite them himself!

It really wasn't fit to be seen!

Even so, Link could only cling desperately to this lifeline.

Because if he relied solely on his own cultivation, he might, at most, be a Soul Grandmaster by the time he died!

Four years ago, he had awakened his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, with barely level-two innate soul power. Thanks to his village's work-study quota, he had come to Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, yet after four whole years, his soul power still hadn't reached level ten!

He had followed the example of countless fanfiction predecessors and set up a Mimicry Cultivation Environment, but inadequate talent was still inadequate talent. Whether it was a Mimicry Cultivation Environment or diligent, painstaking effort, none of it did a damn thing.

Link had also considered stealing Ah Yin and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone that Tang Hao had hidden away, but the problem was that he had no idea where they were.

As for going into the mountains to search?

Give him a break. A little brat like him, without even a single soul ring, would only be courting death by entering the deep mountains.

As for the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

That was in the heart of Sunset Forest. There were countless soul beasts along the way, and the slightest carelessness would get him eaten.

Whale rubber?

Sorry, he couldn't afford it!

He was a work-study student who had never even seen a single Gold Soul Coin.

The rich might be able to spend their way to power, but the poor could only rely on cheats.

Now his cheat had arrived. Though it didn't look particularly reliable, it was still better than anything Link could manage himself.

A little over ten minutes later, Link saw the potential group member indicated by the Chat Group.

Xiao Wu!

Sure enough, these Chat Groups always had the same damn habits!

They were only interested in beautiful women!

But Xiao Wu was now a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, and beside her was Tang San, who was still a little dark-skinned kid.

That was right!

Link had entered Nuoding City's Soul Master Academy at the same time as Tang San and Xiao Wu. They were all work-study students, but those two had innate full soul power, while Link had nothing going for him except a handsome face.

Worst of all, Link's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, and the martial soul Tang San displayed to the outside world was also Blue Silver Grass.

What people feared most was comparison!

For four years, Link had been the foil to Tang San.

The more outstanding Tang San became, the more useless Link looked beside him.

Of course, another important reason for this was that Link refused to grovel at Xiao Wu's feet.

He had, after all, lived into his twenties in his previous life. Asking an adult like him to fawn over Xiao Wu like a bunch of little brats made Link uncomfortable.

As a result, he had been targeted plenty.

Even Wang Sheng, who kept saying that work-study students needed to stand together, had taken the lead in targeting Link once Xiao Wu officially became Sister Xiao Wu.

Looking at Xiao Wu, whom the Chat Group had identified as a potential member, Link wondered how he could get her into the Chat Group.

"Link, are you slacking off again?"

Xiao Wu's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Link's thoughts.

Link came back to himself and saw that Xiao Wu had approached him with light steps, her hands on her hips and a hint of mockery on her pretty, adorable face.

"Xiao Wu, leave him alone. Let's go eat!"

Tang San's voice came from behind her.

Xiao Wu didn't turn around. She merely raised a hand and waved breezily. "Little San, go wait for me in the Cafeteria. I'll be right there!"

Tang San didn't think much of it. He was already used to Xiao Wu being like this.

Besides, he had spent the entire morning swinging a hammer at the Blacksmith Shop. He was truly tired and hungry now, so naturally, he wouldn't linger here.

He wasn't worried in the slightest that Link could hurt Xiao Wu.

After all, Link really was completely useless!

"Well, Link? As long as you call me Sister Xiao Wu, I'll have them give you less work!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Link's lips curled slightly. She really was as nasty as ever!

"Xiao Wu, are you sure?"

Link looked up at the smug Xiao Wu before him, his voice calm.

"Of course. I, Sister Xiao Wu, have always kept my word!"

The smugness on Xiao Wu's face grew even stronger.

Yet Link revealed a faint, teasing smile. "But I think you should be calling me boss!"

"Link, I think you're asking for another beating!"

Xiao Wu scrunched up her little face and clenched her small fists.

"Xiao Wu, you wouldn't want Tang San to find out you're a transformed soul beast, would you?"

Facing the somewhat angry Xiao Wu, Link casually tossed out that remark.

That single sentence left Xiao Wu frozen on the spot.

She stared at Link, her eyes filled with fear.

"You, you..."

Although she was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Wu's mentality was actually no different from an ordinary child's.

The moment Link exposed her identity, Xiao Wu's mind turned into a jumble of mush.

Panic filled her eyes, then killing intent surfaced, but it soon dissipated, leaving only terror.

Unless a Soul Douluo or a Titled Douluo was present, no one could discover her identity as a transformed soul beast.

Link had come to Nuoding City's Soul Master Academy at the same time as her, and they had lived together for four years. He hadn't known her identity before, yet now he had suddenly exposed her origins. This was absolutely no coincidence!

"Do you want to bring your mother back to life?"

To get Xiao Wu to join the Chat Group, he needed not only to frighten her, but also to give her a little hope.

The stick and the carrot!

It was a brilliant trick that never failed!

When Xiao Wu, who had been trembling with anxiety, heard Link's words, the fear in her eyes faded, replaced by urgency, apprehension, and anticipation.
