[Wow, that felt so good! Finally, I had a chance to beat up Tang San. I've wanted to do that for a long time!]
[But I can't let it show that I did it on purpose. I still want to live a peaceful life for a few more years. If Tang San tries to pull some tricks in the dark, that wouldn't be good.]
The female leads: Su Ming, you're so sneaky!
Su Ming closed the live stream, walked over to Tang San, helped him up, and pretended to care. "Tang San, are you okay? I thought you'd dodge that. Sorry!"
Tang San wobbled to his feet, holding his face. "It's fine. I was careless. You won this round."
Curious, Tang San asked, "Su Ming, how are you so skilled? And why did your eyes suddenly turn red?"
Su Ming casually replied, "Maybe I'm just naturally gifted. I've trained a lot since I was young. As for my eyes turning red, I don't really know. It happened after I awakened my martial spirit. I call it the Sharingan."
Technically, Su Ming wasn't lying—the Sharingan was a reward from the system after his martial spirit awakening. No issues with the truth here, hehe!
Then Su Ming asked, "What about you? During the fight, your hand turned jade-like, and your eyes turned purple!"
Tang San naturally responded, "That's just a soul skill I created—Mysterious Jade Hand and Purple Demon Eyes. They're not fully developed yet."
Su Ming feigned amazement. "Wow, Tang San! That's amazing! You just awakened your martial spirit, and you've already created your own soul skills. And you're already at ten innate soul power! Soon, you'll be adding a soul ring to your martial spirit. I'm so envious!"
Su Ming then enthusiastically added, "I'll work hard too! I'll definitely create my own soul skills one day!"
Tang San, in turn, gave a polite encouragement. "Keep it up. You're at seven innate soul power now, so in a few months, you'll be able to obtain your soul ring too. Creating your own soul skills is tough, but you'll figure it out."
Although they spoke kindly to each other on the surface, both Su Ming and Tang San had their own hidden motives.
Su Ming's explanation that the Sharingan was part of his martial spirit awakening? Who would believe that? Certainly not Tang San. Su Ming's Sharingan was obviously a type of eye technique, just like his Purple Demon Eyes. How could it be tied to his martial spirit awakening?
However, Tang San didn't press further. It was clear that Su Ming wasn't going to tell him the truth, and Tang San wouldn't reveal the origin of his own techniques either. Both of them were keeping secrets.
[Hehe, Tang San tried to ask how I became so strong and where my Sharingan came from. I told him it was part of my martial spirit awakening. That's not a lie!]
The female leads: Su Ming, you're so cunning!
[Of course, if he asks me, I'll ask him back. And look at that—Tang San shamelessly claims that all those skills he used were his own creations. Couldn't he have come up with a better excuse? Who creates so many soul skills the day after their martial spirit awakens? Clearly, he's lying.]
[At least wait a while before showing off. My Wood Release techniques aren't my original creations either, but I'll hide them for a while. Then when I reveal them and claim they're self-created soul skills, people will think I'm a genius!]
[Hmm, am I being a bit hypocritical? Ah well, no one here knows about Tang Sect techniques or Wood Release. So, in this world, Tang San's techniques and mine are considered our own creations. It's just that Tang San revealed his too soon. Isn't that suspicious?]
As Su Ming casually wrote in his journal, the female leads watching couldn't help but feel amused.
You think you're hiding your secrets well, Su Ming. But you don't realize we all have copies of your journal. We know everything about you!
Meanwhile, Su Ming suddenly felt a chill down his spine and sneezed. He wondered if some beautiful woman was thinking about him.
As Su Ming and Tang San continued their polite conversation, the other members of Dorm 7 were left in shock. They hadn't expected Tang San to have ten innate soul power, nor had they expected Su Ming to win the match. What a surprise!
Then came the excitement—this year's work-study students were incredible. With these two talents, they wouldn't have to be bullied by the noble students anymore. Dorm 7 was going to rise up!
Just then, the door to Dorm 7 creaked open, and in walked a small, cute girl with long, scorpion-tail braided hair.
Su Ming's eyes lit up. Finally, my Xiao Wu wife has arrived! Her cute, loli appearance was adorable, but Su Ming still preferred how she looked when she grew up.
When Xiao Wu matured, her facial features would become even more refined, and those legs...
Xiao Wu cheerfully greeted everyone, "Hello, everyone! I'm Xiao Wu, as in the 'dance' character, with ten innate soul power. My martial spirit is a rabbit."
Everyone, except for Su Ming, was stunned once again. What's going on today? Another genius work-study student! And she's so pretty!
From what Wang Sheng knew, the academy's current leader was a sixth-year student named Xiao Chenyu, who was only at the eleventh level. Once Tang San and Xiao Wu obtained their soul rings, who would dare to mess with them?
As for Su Ming, his innate power of seven was a little behind, and it would take a few more months before he could catch up.
What Wang Sheng didn't know was that Xiao Wu was already at the eleventh level. As a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, her soul ring had automatically formed, so she didn't need to hunt soul beasts for one!
After Xiao Wu introduced herself, she stared at Su Ming. She had only seen him through live streams before, but seeing him face-to-face was much more vivid and real.
At that moment, Su Ming's journal updated again.
[As expected, my Xiao Wu wife has been assigned to Dorm 7. Her loli form is so adorable, I just want to pinch that cute face! It looks so soft—must feel great to touch.]
[Wait, am I being a bit of a pervert? Good thing no one can see what I write in this journal!]
The female leads: Don't doubt yourself, Su Ming. You are a total pervert! How could you even think such things? It's criminal!
[Huh, why did Xiao Wu's face suddenly turn so red after introducing herself? That's not like her. She should have her hands on her hips, declaring herself the new leader!]
If there had been a hole in the ground, Xiao Wu would've jumped in. She was beyond embarrassed—this was a total social death moment!
She was well aware that she wasn't the only one with a copy of Su Ming's journal. When she watched the live stream, the top corner of the screen even displayed the viewer count. But she figured Su Ming didn't know this.
She had tried to see if she could send messages during the live streams, but unfortunately, it didn't work.
Ahhhh, forget it! I'll just have to deal with the embarrassment. The most important thing is to make sure Su Ming doesn't find out I have a journal copy! You can do this, Xiao Wu!
Regaining her composure, Xiao Wu placed one hand on her hip, pointed at the group, and declared, "Who's the strongest here? Let's fight! If I win, you'll all call me Big Sis Xiao Wu!"
[Ah, yes! This is exactly how Xiao Wu should act! Hehe, let's see how I... uh, I mean, let's see how I'll handle her!]
