Make Xiao Wu Donate Blood

Xiao Wu had only just emerged from the Star Dou Great Forest and still retained some of a spirit beast's habits.

Lan Hong had not wanted to clash with her, but she had taken his bed. He could not indulge her in that.

"Fine! Let's fight outside!"

"Fine! If you lose, the bed is mine, and you have to honestly call me Sister Xiao Wu!"

"And if you lose?"

"How could Sister Xiao Wu possibly lose? If I lose, I'll call you Brother!"

"Deal!"

They arrived at an open area outside the dormitory. Lan Hong stood with his sword in hand, and Tang San was slightly surprised by his stance.

"This Lan Hong guy should have some skill!"

"Is your Martial Soul a sword? Why aren't you summoning it? What's with the wooden sword?"

"My Martial Soul isn't a sword. Using one is just a habit! Let's begin!"

"Fine! Xiao Wu, Level Ten Spirit Master, Rabbit Martial Soul!"

Xiao Wu activated Martial Soul Possession. A pair of rabbit ears and a fluffy little tail appeared, making her look adorable.

"Lan Hong, Level Five Spirit Master, Cat Martial Soul!"

Lan Hong concealed his true Soul Power Level. One could never be too cautious.

"Cat? Your Martial Soul is a cat? Why aren't you using Martial Soul Possession?"

"That depends on whether you can force me to use it!"

In truth, Lan Hong could not use Martial Soul Possession at all. Hong Mao and Lan Mao, his two Martial Souls, were similar to Yu Xiaogang's Luoshanpao.

It was just that Lan Hong's Soul Power was too low right now, so he could not bring them out.

Lan Mao had calculated that once Lan Hong surpassed Level Ten, he would be able to manifest either himself or Hong Mao for a while.

Xiao Wu, however, was infuriated by Lan Hong's arrogant words. She pushed off the ground with both feet and leaped toward him.

Lan Hong took a step back to widen the distance. When Xiao Wu landed unsteadily, he thrust his sword at her.

Xiao Wu dodged to the side, then whipped her Scorpion Braid at Lan Hong. Lan Hong bent backward to evade it, and the sword in his hand swept out again.

Xiao Wu jumped again and lunged directly at Lan Hong. If she managed to grab him and use a full set of wrestling moves, Lan Hong would definitely not be able to take it.

Lan Hong retreated again to dodge her, while also picking up his speed. The Changhong Heart Method gave him no problems with endurance. In a battle of attrition, he had the advantage.

"Damn it! Stop dodging if you've got guts!"

Xiao Wu lunged, and Lan Hong dodged. Tang San shook his head when he saw this.

"They really are just children!"

He lost interest and returned to the Seventh Dormitory. At that moment, Xiao Wu finally caught Lan Hong.

"Hahaha! I finally caught you!"

"Have you? Do you still have any strength left?"

"What!"

Lan Hong grabbed Xiao Wu in return and threw her over his shoulder. His wooden sword immediately came to rest before her eyes.

"You lost!"

Xiao Wu had yet to adapt to a human body. She attacked with reckless, fierce lunges, completely disregarding the drain on her stamina.

At the Spirit Master stage, there were no spirit skills to use. Soul Power could only be used for Martial Soul Possession or manifesting one's Martial Soul. Fighting still relied on physical strength.

Lan Hong had seized the moment when Xiao Wu's stamina declined and caught her off guard, subduing her.

"I lost! Sister Xiao Wu can accept defeat!"

"Good!"

After returning to the Seventh Dormitory, Lan Hong reclaimed his bed. He had thought Xiao Wu would share Tang San's bed, just as in the original plot.

Instead, Xiao Wu moved her bed beside his.

"What does this mean?"

"Brother! Let me have half the blanket! You don't want to see me freezing at night, do you?"

Xiao Wu's "Brother" caught Lan Hong so off guard that he could not react for a moment. Is this really Xiao Wu, that Hundred Thousand Year Rogue Rabbit?

"Hey! Say something! I already called you Brother. Don't push your luck! I lost today, but I'll definitely win next time!"

"That's more like it! You can have half the blanket! Don't crawl over here at night!"

"Pah! I should be the one saying that!"

Seeing Lan Hong agree, Xiao Wu snatched away half the blanket and happily lay down. This Hundred Thousand Year Rogue Rabbit had never been diligent in her cultivation, but Lan Hong could not afford to be the same.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and continued cultivating the Changhong Heart Method. He remained that way for the entire night. Over these three months, he had only had a few days of proper sleep.

There were many things to handle on the second day of school. Only after the opening ceremony was over did they finally go to class.

Lan Hong needed the basic knowledge of Spirit Masters, so he studied very seriously. It was not only him studying; Hong Mao and Lan Mao within his consciousness were studying as well.

After class, Lan Hong went to the library to consolidate what he had learned and continue reading.

Another day passed. Today, Lan Hong did not see Tang San in the classroom. He had probably been taken by Yu Xiaogang to hunt spirit beasts.

"I wonder whether my arrival as this butterfly will affect Tang San, the protagonist. Probably not! I'm still too weak!"

The plot developed as it always had. Tang San successfully returned from Hunting Spirit Beasts and became a Spirit Master, his Spirit Ring still coming from a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake.

Afterward, the Seventh Dormitory came into conflict with the city lord's son, Xiao Chenyu. Xiao Chenyu was defeated by Xiao Wu and Tang San. Only then did Tang San discover that Xiao Wu had also become a Spirit Master and possessed a yellow Spirit Ring.

As for Lan Hong, he became practically invisible. Thanks to Xiao Wu, he did not need to do the work of a Work-Study Student, giving him more time to cultivate.

Classroom, cafeteria, library, the open space behind the school, dormitory—Lan Hong lived a very regular life.

Until three months later, when Lan Hong reached Level Ten and could feel an obvious bottleneck holding him back.

He now needed a Spirit Ring to break through that bottleneck and continue leveling up.

"Brother Cat, how is it? Can you let me Self-Condense a Soul Ring?"

"After these months of research and study, I have found some clues! This shackle is not on you, but acts upon the Martial Soul.

You can actually continue cultivating, but because of the Martial Soul shackle, your cultivation speed will be slowed."

"That's right! As your Martial Souls, we can now feel the existence of that invisible shackle!"

"Why not just go Hunting Spirit Beasts?"

"No!"

Hong Mao directly rejected Lan Hong's idea. In righteous Hong Mao's heart, the spirit beasts of this world were like the animals in the forest he had once known. They needed protection, not slaughter.

"Little Hong! You don't need to worry either. The essence of a Spirit Ring is a mixture of Soul Power, bloodline, and laws!

We can provide the Soul Power ourselves, and I have more or less figured out the laws. The ones who need to Condense Spirit Ring are not you, but Hong Mao and me as your Martial Souls!

What we lack now is bloodline, which means genetic samples!"

"Do we need to buy things like Spirit Beast Meat?"

"More or less!"

Lan Hong felt the pinch in his wallet. Anything related to spirit beasts was expensive, and Spirit Beast Meat was no exception.

Then he suddenly thought of Xiao Wu. The bloodline of a Hundred Thousand Year Rogue Rabbit should be suitable, right? But how could he make her willingly give a little blood?

Tang San and Xiao Wu had a good relationship now, but they were nowhere near as close as they had been in the original plot, where they called each other brother and sister.

On the contrary, Xiao Wu had clearly gotten bedding, yet still placed her bed next to his. Perhaps he could lay his cards on the table with her. Not only could he get her help, but he could also prevent Xiao Wu from heading down a path of no return.

Xiao Wu, who became Tang San's accessory in the original plot, was unlikeable. But the current Xiao Wu was still an innocent little girl. Though somewhat spoiled and overbearing, she also had a chivalrous side.
