Xiao Wu Bursts into Tears: Where Did My Huge Chunk of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Origin Go? Tang San Wants to Make a Wish Too?
"Make a wish?"
"Xu Nuo's Martial Soul can actually grant wishes?"
"That can't be possible!"
Xiao Wu's eyes widened and her little mouth fell open. She could hardly believe it.
After all, to make a wish come true...
Surely only the gods of legend possessed such mighty power!
How could a mere Martial Soul be so outrageous?
Xu Nuo wasn't angry. He simply smiled and held out his right hand.
A golden light flashed.
A Wishing Divine Lamp emerged from his hand, its entire body seemingly cast from gold, covered in gorgeous patterns and set with several sapphires.
"It might be a little hard to believe, but my Martial Soul really can grant wishes!"
"After all, its name is the Wishing Divine Lamp!"
As he spoke, the corners of Xu Nuo's mouth curled up slightly.
"It's so pretty!"
The moment Xiao Wu saw the Wishing Divine Lamp, her big eyes lit up. Unable to resist, she stepped forward to examine it closely.
"Whatever else it does, your Martial Soul certainly looks lovely!"
"But you're right."
"Since your Martial Soul can grant wishes, Sister Xiao Wu will give it a try today!"
As she spoke, Xiao Wu seemed to remember something. She puffed out her cheeks, clenched her little fist, and waved it fiercely at Xu Nuo.
"But don't you dare lie to me!"
"Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
Beside them, Tang San frowned slightly as he gazed thoughtfully at the Wishing Divine Lamp in Xu Nuo's hand.
Teacher said Xu Nuo's Martial Soul belongs to the fate type, and he also has Innate Full Soul Power.
Given Teacher's discernment...
Since he said this Martial Soul can grant wishes, he's most likely right.
But does a Martial Soul like that really exist in this world?
Only the immortals and gods of legend in my previous life had the authority to make wishes come true, didn't they?
But if Xu Nuo's Martial Soul really can make wishes come true...
Could I wish for my Mysterious Heaven Skill to break through the first level?
Tang San pondered in secret.
At present, he had a vague feeling that he might only need to absorb a Soul Ring and break through to become a Soul Master for his Mysterious Heaven Skill to advance to the second level.
But if there was another way to break through ahead of time, he didn't mind giving it a try.
"Come on, make a wish!"
Xu Nuo handed his Wishing Magic Lamp Martial Soul to Xiao Wu and taught her how to use it. But then he seemed to remember something and added,
"Oh, right, Sister Xiao Wu!"
"My Wishing Magic Lamp Martial Soul can only grant three wishes a month!"
"I've already used it once, so there are two left."
"And each person can only use it once a month."
"You'd better think carefully about this wish!"
Xiao Wu was just about to take the divine lamp and make her wish.
At his words, her hand froze.
She had originally planned to wish for a bag of those things called Gold Soul Coins to buy bedding.
But after hearing Xu Nuo, she hesitated.
Only three wishes a month, and each person can only use it once...
Then I can't waste this opportunity on just anything!
Thinking this, Xiao Wu looked up at Xu Nuo. He was dressed in fine, bright clothes and was clearly a child from a wealthy family.
Then she looked at the bedding already laid out on Xu Nuo's bed.
It looked clean and pretty, and it was large enough to cover two beds.
As the boss of Dorm Seven, wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for me to share a little of my underling's bedding?
Xiao Wu's eyes darted about, and she immediately came up with a new idea.
What am I now? A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form!
Although I probably won't run into a legendary Titled Douluo in such a remote little city...
What if I do?
Compared with a bag of Gold Soul Coins...
It's definitely more important to wish for my identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to be perfectly concealed!
If I can make it so even a Titled Douluo can't see through my identity...
Then I'll be completely safe from now on!
It would naturally be best if the wish came true.
Even if it didn't, she had nothing to lose.
"Mm! I understand!"
Xiao Wu pursed her lips and pretended to think it over for a long time.
Only then did she reach out her small hand and gently rub the Wishing Divine Lamp three times.
In an instant, the Wishing Divine Lamp burst into dazzling golden light, enveloping Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu closed her eyes and began to make her wish.
I wish for my identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form to be perfectly concealed, so it won't be exposed even before a Titled Douluo!
Golden light flowed.
The power of fate soon seeped into Xiao Wu's body.
A moment later, the golden light gradually faded.
Xiao Wu slowly opened her eyes. She froze at first, then her little face lit up with barely concealed delight and joy.
She could sense that the presence of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast on her had completely disappeared!
It's really gone!
My Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast presence actually disappeared.
Now even a Titled Douluo won't be able to see my true identity!
That's wonderful!
Xiao Wu had been overjoyed.
But suddenly, as though she had discovered something, her expression changed.
Wait!
Where did my huuuge chunk of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast origin go? Why's it gone too?!
She had discovered that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast origin inside her had disappeared as well!
That was the origin she had cultivated for a hundred thousand years, what she relied on to generate her own Soul Rings after taking human form!
Xiao Wu immediately panicked.
"You!!"
Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes instantly turned red. She puffed out her cheeks angrily and snapped her head up to look at Xu Nuo.
Then she leaped up and slammed Xu Nuo to the ground, grabbing his collar with both hands as she shouted furiously,
"You despicable bastard! Did you steal my thing? Give it back, now!"
Faced with Xiao Wu's fury,
Xu Nuo looked utterly bewildered and innocent.
"What thing? Sister Xiao Wu, what are you talking about?"
But even as he spoke, Xu Nuo's heart was already blooming with joy.
Because the instant Xiao Wu's wish had been fulfilled, Xu Nuo had clearly sensed it.
Another vast reserve of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast origin had appeared inside the Wishing Divine Lamp.
According to the information provided by the Wishing Divine Lamp,
he could turn this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast origin into his first Soul Ring whenever he needed it.
As for the source of its Soul Skills, they would naturally be Xiao Wu's Soul Skills!
And when he thought of Xiao Wu's Soul Skills, each more freakishly powerful than the last,
Xu Nuo couldn't contain his excitement.
I hit the jackpot this time!
"After I made my wish, my thing disappeared!"
"If you didn't steal it, who else could it have been?"
When Xu Nuo refused to admit it, Xiao Wu was so angry she nearly cried.
That was her hundred thousand years' worth of origin!
She had spent so many years cultivating it with such difficulty!
Yet in just an instant, it was all gone!
"Sister Xiao Wu, you can't accuse me unfairly!"
Xu Nuo spread his hands with an aggrieved expression, his tone earnest and innocent.
"My Wishing Magic Lamp Martial Soul grants wishes through the power of fate."
"That's my Martial Soul's ability. It has nothing to do with me as a Soul Master!"
"Besides, I never touched you from start to finish. How could I possibly have stolen anything from you?"
At that, Wang Sheng and the others exchanged glances and began discussing it.
"Yeah! Xu Nuo was sitting there eating an apple the whole time. He never touched Sister Xiao Wu."
"Xu Nuo is dressed so finely, he's obviously rich. Sister Xiao Wu can't even afford bedding, so what could he steal from her?"
"Sister Xiao Wu, could you have misunderstood?"
Xiao Wu was furious when she heard Wang Sheng and the others, but she truly couldn't refute them.
Of course she knew Xu Nuo really hadn't touched her.
But the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast origin inside her couldn't have just sprouted wings and flown away on its own, could it?
Just then, Xu Nuo spoke again, unhurriedly, with a smile.
"Sister Xiao Wu, just tell me: did your wish come true or not?"
"After someone makes a wish on my Wishing Divine Lamp, it might have a certain effect on the person making the wish."
"But while it has that effect, the wish will definitely come true too."
"Since you've lost something, your wish must have come true!"
"Fate is fair. A price must be paid for a wish to come true."
"That's reasonable, isn't it?"
"I..."
Xiao Wu opened and closed her mouth, too stumped to speak for a moment.
Although she was indignant,
if she considered only the wish itself,
then her wish to perfectly conceal her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast presence, so it wouldn't be exposed even before a Titled Douluo, had indeed come true.
Xiao Wu could only bite her lower lip and stamp her foot, puffing out her cheeks as she said resentfully,
"My wish... did come true, I suppose!"
"Then there you have it!"
Xu Nuo smiled, took out an apple, and offered it to Xiao Wu.
"Sister Xiao Wu, don't be angry!"
"Have an apple and cool off. Your wish came true, and that's a good thing, after all."
Looking at the apple, then at Xu Nuo's innocent, earnest smile, Xiao Wu nearly ground her teeth to pieces.
But she could only glare at Xu Nuo, snatch the apple, and sink her teeth into it with a fierce bite, as though she were biting Xu Nuo himself.
Beside them, Tang San was filled with shock.
Xu Nuo's Martial Soul really can grant wishes?
Although there seemed to be a price,
as someone who had been an adult in his previous life, Tang San naturally understood that one had to give something up to gain something.
For a wish to come true, a price had to be paid.
If it were too simple, that would be abnormal.
Besides, Xiao Wu didn't seem to have lost anything important, did she?
Tang San gave Xu Nuo a thoughtful look and quietly made up his mind.
If he got a chance later,
perhaps he could also ask Xu Nuo to let him try making a wish!
