The Days Without Xiao Wu

"Fine, I'll count you lucky. With my current Soul Power, I can satisfy all of you even if you cultivate all day, as long as you can afford it."

Hu Jiu nodded. As the saying went, refusing money was for Turtles. With his Level 20 Soul Grandmaster cultivation, he could produce nearly a hundred Accelerated Cultivation Carrots at once. Making a thousand in a day would be no problem.

When it came to making money quickly, what could compare to a Food System Soul Master?

If he weren't afraid of Tall Trees Catch the Wind, he would have expanded his customer base long ago.

"We have money. We all have money." Xiao Chenyu pulled out a bag of Gold Soul Coins and handed it straight to Hu Jiu.

"We have some too. This is mine."

Liu Long and Ling Feng also took out their money pouches one after another, unwilling to be outdone.

Although it hurt a little, they accepted it for the sake of increasing their cultivation speed.

Besides, all three of them were wealthy second-generation heirs, so buying Carrots was no problem.

"Fine. Thirty each. Come find me again when you run out."

After taking their money, Hu Jiu produced a hundred Carrots in one go. The extras counted as a discount for them.

His Carrots cost nothing to make anyway. They only consumed some Soul Power, which would naturally recover after a while.

By the time Xiao Chenyu and the other two left with endless thanks, it was already evening.

Wang Sheng and the others had already returned from class to the dormitory.

After everyone met, there was naturally a round of idle chatter.

In the Work-Study Students' Seventh Dormitory, his position was somewhat special.

These people were all Little Rabbit's underlings now, while he had a close relationship with Little Rabbit and wasn't weak in battle. He faintly had the bearing of the second-in-command.

Mm, it could also be said that he was taking advantage of Little Rabbit's influence.

What a life of living off a woman... Ah!

The next day, Little Rabbit came before him looking pitiful.

"Xiao Jiu, I'm going out to Hunt Soul Ring. I'll probably be gone for more than half a month this time. You wouldn't let me go hungry, would you? Hurry up and give me some Carrots!"

"Why will it take so long? You eat so much that even if you brought some, they wouldn't last very long."

That Little Rabbit really was something. She could clearly make her own Soul Ring. Wouldn't it have been enough to spend half a day and make up some excuse? Yet she still had to leave for so long.

Suddenly, Hu Jiu found that he was a little reluctant to part with her.

"How About I go with you? With me there, you can eat as much as you want. You can even eat until you're stuffed."

After his thoughts shifted, Hu Jiu tested the waters.

Clearly, Little Rabbit was going to be gone for so long because she was going to the Star Dou Great Forest.

If Little Rabbit let him follow her, he could discover her identity openly and honestly.

After Little Rabbit confessed, he could magnanimously say that he didn't care about her identity. Wouldn't that take the relationship between them a step further?

Unfortunately, Hu Jiu's idea was good, but Little Rabbit refused.

She looked at Hu Jiu with an embarrassed expression. "No, Xiao Jiu. This time, I'm going home to ask my relatives to help me Hunt Soul Beast. They don't like meeting outsiders. I'm afraid they'll get angry when they see you."

Sure enough, his plan to meet her family had fallen through.

Hu Jiu didn't insist too much. To be honest, if he really went to meet Da Ming and Er Ming right now, he would still feel a little guilty...

"Fine, then. Wait for me a moment. I'll make you some extra Carrots. Try to ration them!"

Little Rabbit left.

For a moment, without Little Rabbit by his side, he found that he seemed a little unaccustomed to it.

After all, he had been with Little Rabbit for more than half a year. Now that the chattering voice beside his ear had suddenly disappeared, his heart felt empty.

However, Little Rabbit's reluctant expression when she left secretly pleased Hu Jiu.

It seemed he still held a place in Little Rabbit's heart.

Sure enough, the Work-Study Student spot from Holy Soul Village came with extra benefits...

After enduring a boring morning of classes, Hu Jiu met up with Tang San.

"Little San, come on. We haven't fought in a long time. Let's have a match!"

Hu Jiu had never been interested in fighting. He was only interested in crushing his enemies.

Tang San's invitations to spar had been rejected by him many times.

With that time, wouldn't it be better to happily play with Little Rabbit?

Now that Little Rabbit wasn't around, Hu Jiu took the initiative to invite him, both to avoid boredom and to improve his combat ability.

"You want to fight me?" Tang San looked at him in surprise.

His expression seemed to question whether Hu Jiu had something wrong with his head.

"Little San, I'm warning you. Don't look at me like that! Otherwise, don't blame me for turning hostile." Hu Jiu looked irritated.

He had already decided that he would teach Tang San a harsh lesson later, preferably one that left him unable to get up for half a day.

"Fine, I was wrong." Seeing Hu Jiu's anger, Tang San readily admitted his mistake. "But Xiao Jiu, do you know what level I'm at now?"

Faced with the question, Hu Jiu froze for a moment. He instantly recalled that Tang San had previously said he would go with Grandmaster and the Dean to Hunt Soul Ring. Judging by the timing, he seemed to have obtained his Second Soul Ring even faster than Hu Jiu.

"This..." After carefully sensing the Soul Power inside Tang San's body, Hu Jiu found that it had indeed surged considerably. His level had reached Level 21 and was close to Level 22.

"Fight, then. You think I'm afraid of you? Just wait and see how I knock your teeth all over the ground." Hu Jiu gritted his teeth. Whether he could win or not, he had to fight first.

He remembered that Tang San's Second Soul Ring Skill was Parasite. With his Level 6 Soul Power Control, covering his body with a layer of Soul Power was a simple task.

Therefore, with adequate preparation, Tang San's Second Soul Skill was useless.

"Haha, then come on! Xiao Jiu, don't cry later!" Tang San laughed loudly.

Actually, Tang San had always been unconvinced. They cultivated the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer together, yet Hu Jiu had long since reached the Grandmaster Realm, while he still couldn't complete the charging process for all eighty-one hammers.

The same went for Soul Power Control. They had cultivated it together, but Hu Jiu had already controlled his Soul Power with fine, Micro-Perception, while he had only just completed his Water Walking training.

If that were all, it would have been fine. After all, it was a person's innate talent, and Tang San wasn't someone who couldn't accept losing.

But just look at how the two of them cultivated normally.

Tang San barely had any time to play each day. He cultivated day and night, racing against time.

Hu Jiu, on the other hand, spent every day flirting and acting sweet with that Little Rabbit. No one had even seen him cultivate much.

With such a contrast, how could Tang San be convinced?

Was Hu Jiu the illegitimate son of Heaven, while he wasn't?

Wasn't he born with Innate Full Soul Power?

Could he have remembered wrong? Had it been Xiao Jiu who awakened with Innate Full Soul Power back then?

Tang San was confused!

On the hillside behind the academy.

Hu Jiu and Tang San stood facing each other.

One stood with his hands behind his back, while the other gripped an iron hammer tightly.

They looked like two peerless experts about to engage in a deadly battle.

The atmosphere was overflowing with style!

"Xiao Jiu, enough already! We've been standing here forever. Hurry up and attack!" Tang San said helplessly.

"Caw, caw, caw!"

A crow flew past, as if mocking the two idiots' behavior.

"What's the rush? Young people have to learn to stay calm." Hu Jiu spoke leisurely.

At the same time, the iron hammer in his hand swiftly swung in circles, and the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer began!
