With Tang San's help, Hu Jiu completed the Exploding Water Balloon and Exploding Rubber Ball training one after another over the next few days.

By now, he could already condense a rapidly spinning sphere in his hand.

It just did not last very long and dispersed within seconds.

If he could not even maintain it for long, then he could hardly call the skill successfully created.

Still, he had completed the most difficult step. As long as he kept training for a while longer, this devastating Spiral Pill skill would appear sooner or later.

The days passed quickly as he devoted himself to research. In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed since Xiao Wu left. According to her, she should be back around now.

"Ha ha, Soul Power Spiral Pill, attack!" On the academy's back hill, Hu Jiu excitedly flung the blurry sphere in his hand, its shape distorted by its rapid rotation.

Pfft! The Spiral Pill struck a tree trunk a meter away, and a small piece of bark slowly drifted down to the ground.

Its attack power was plain to see.

"Ha ha, it finally worked." Hu Jiu did not care whether its attack power was weak or not. All he saw was that the name Soul Power Spiral Pill had appeared in the fifth Idle Slot on his AFK Panel.

As for that unbearable attack power, the AFK Panel would naturally help him improve it. As long as the AFK skill level was high enough, he could blast a hole through the heavens.

At the very moment the Soul Power Spiral Pill was successfully created, his Soul Power Control skill also reached Level Seven. A great deal of insight into controlling energy appeared in his mind, making it even easier for him to condense the Soul Power Spiral Pill.

These two skills seemed to complement each other!

Feeling this, Hu Jiu firmly committed it to memory. This was an important discovery, and it might come in handy someday.

Now that the Spiral Pill had been created, he naturally had to find someone to show it off to. It was just a pity Xiao Wu was not around.

Then Tang San would have to do. Tang San had helped him immensely in creating this skill. Without the little tricks Tang San had taught him, Hu Jiu could still have created it himself, but he certainly could not have done it in just twenty days.

So, to thank Tang San, he had to let him witness his new skill.

Of course, he would never admit that he simply wanted to show off in front of him.

"Tang San, take this!"

He skillfully pushed open Tang San's dormitory door and, without another word, blasted a Spiral Pill at him.

The Tang San inside was so startled that he hurriedly assumed a guarded stance. Purple light flashed in his eyes, his hands turned the color of White Jade, and he crossed them in front of his chest.

Pfft!

The rapidly spinning soul power instantly splashed all over Tang San, like a cool breeze brushing against his face.

"Xiao Jiu!" Tang San's face was filled with anger. He was not angry about Hu Jiu's sneak attack. He was afraid that his Hidden Weapons would come out on Hu Jiu!

If he had not heard Hu Jiu shout, the Sleeve Arrow on his arm might already have flown over.

"Uh!" At Tang San's furious roar, Hu Jiu's body instantly froze in place.

Only then did he remember that Tang San was not Xiao Wu. This guy was a real sly bastard, covered from head to toe in Hidden Weapons meant for killing. If those things landed on him, he would be crippled even if he did not die!

Cold sweat unconsciously broke out.

For the first time, he realized how bold he was to become brothers with someone covered in Hidden Weapons. So brave!!

"Uh, it was just a joke. Don't tell me you can't take a joke, Little San?" Hu Jiu pretended to be unconcerned, while secretly deciding that he must never do something so foolish again.

"Uh!" Now it was Tang San's turn to feel frustrated. He could not exactly tell his good brother that he had nearly sent a barrage of Hidden Weapons flying at him!

"What was that soul power ball just now?"

Tang San pretended that nothing had happened and curiously asked Hu Jiu.

"Oh, I just came to tell you that I successfully created my new skill. Since you've already seen it, I'm leaving." Waving his hand, Hu Jiu turned and left without hesitation. The atmosphere was not suitable for showing off right now. He could always do that later.

Anyway, with Tang San's current Soul Power Control Ability, he could not learn this skill even if he wanted to. Let him be jealous!

When he returned to the Seventh Dormitory, he found Xiao Chenyu and the other two waiting for him inside.

"You finished eating again already?" This was not the first time. It seemed that the three of them had indeed been working quite hard lately.

"Ninth Brother, please trouble yourself again. I feel like my soul power is about to level up again." Xiao Chenyu's face was full of joy. He was nearly Level Seventeen already. If he worked a little harder, he might reach Level Eighteen before graduation.

At that point, with his level, he could probably even enter Spirit Hall Academy!

"Sure, sure." With customers coming to him, Hu Jiu naturally would not turn them away.

Since there was no one else in the dormitory, he immediately began making Accelerated Cultivation Carrots.

"Huh, what are you doing?" Just as Hu Jiu was getting to work and making money, the door to the Seventh Dormitory was pushed open, and a crisp, familiar voice rang out.

"Xiao Wu!" Hu Jiu looked up in delight. The figure standing at the door was the girl he had been longing for.

"Hehe, Xiao Jiu, I'm back!" Xiao Wu walked closer with a giggle, making her pretty face clearer in Hu Jiu's eyes.

"Why were you gone so long? I missed you." After freezing for a moment, Hu Jiu raised his hand and rubbed Xiao Wu's head as he spoke naturally.

"I-I have something to do. You go ahead and get busy." Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed red as she shyly ran out.

Xiao Jiu really was something else. There were other people here, so how could he say something so embarrassing?

Beside them, Xiao Chenyu and the other two all wore teasing expressions, though inwardly, they admired him immensely.

What a wonderful girl. Too bad she had fallen into Hu Jiu's hands. How infuriating!

Xiao Wu's return gave Hu Jiu even more drive. He quickly made enough carrots, then waved his hand grandly and sent Xiao Chenyu and the other two packing.

Then he impatiently went out to look for Xiao Wu.

The academy's back hill was where they usually spent their time. Hu Jiu knew Xiao Wu would be there without even needing to search.

Sure enough, when he arrived, Xiao Wu was sitting on a rock in a daze.

"What are you thinking about so deeply?" Hu Jiu walked over and sat beside Xiao Wu.

In less than a month, he noticed that Xiao Wu seemed to have grown taller again. She was now actually a little taller than him.

"Ah, nothing." Xiao Wu's eyes flickered before she put on a smile.

Damn it, could it be that Da Ming and Er Ming had said something they should not have when Xiao Wu went back this time?

Knowing Xiao Wu well, he instantly guessed the reason. After returning to the Star Dou Great Forest, she had probably been reminded that she was still a Soul Beast.

So there was only one solution.

"Here, have a carrot!"

If one was not enough, then two. Feed the Little Rabbit until she forgot her identity.
