Then, Xiao Wu said, "Even though I lost to Su Ming, you all still have to call me Sister Xiao Wu, got it!"
"Yes, Sister Xiao Wu!"
Although Xiao Wu was younger than everyone, her strength was undeniable, so calling her Sister Xiao Wu felt quite natural to the others. Besides, no one wanted to get beaten up for refusing, and aside from Su Ming, and maybe Tang San, no one else could take her in a fight.
Xiao Wu smiled contentedly and nodded. "Very good. Since you all call me Sister Xiao Wu, I'll have your backs from now on!"
"Yes!"
Su Ming couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. Xiao Wu really loves being the leader, doesn't she?
Su Ming looked at Xiao Wu and said, "I guess I don't need to call you Sister Xiao Wu, right? After all, you didn't win against me. How are you going to 'back me up'?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's earlier happiness vanished. Su Ming is so mean! He looks all serious on the surface, but he's a total pervert when writing in that journal!
Xiao Wu pouted. "You can just call me Xiao Wu for now. But wait and see—I'll definitely beat you one day, and you'll call me Sister Xiao Wu willingly!"
As she said this, Xiao Wu noticed someone standing behind Su Ming, staring at her—it was Tang San.
At this moment, one side of Tang San's face was swollen, making him look like half a pig. Xiao Wu knew Su Ming had hit Tang San earlier, but the broadcast ended after that. She hadn't expected Tang San's face to look this bad. He was already average-looking, but now... well, there were no words for it.
Xiao Wu held back her laughter, trying to appear curious, and asked Su Ming, "Hey, what happened to this guy's face?"
Before Su Ming could answer, Tang San awkwardly explained, "Uh... I came to Dorm 7 before you. I got hurt during my spar with Su Ming. It'll heal in a few days."
Tang San didn't quite understand why he felt a strange connection to this cute, petite girl in front of him. This was a feeling he had never experienced in his previous life as a killer, and it puzzled him.
[I'm pretty sure about it now—Tang San's already got feelings for Xiao Wu, though he probably doesn't realize it yet. After all, he was an assassin in his past life, so not understanding these emotions is normal.]
[But still, it's crazy! Combining the ages from his two lives, he's almost 40 years old, and here he is falling for a little girl. That's just... messed up. But with me here, Xiao Wu will never be his!]
[That said, I totally get why Tang San likes Xiao Wu. I mean, who wouldn't? She's adorable now, and she'll grow into a stunning beauty. Anyone with a pulse would like her!]
[And the beauties in Douluo are all naturally gorgeous. Unlike in my previous life, where many celebrities relied on plastic surgery or makeup, the women here are naturally flawless. Now that I've reincarnated in this world, how could I not be attracted to them?]
Seeing Tang San staring at Xiao Wu, Su Ming immediately stepped between them and smiled at Xiao Wu. "This is Tang San. His martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and like you, he has innate full soul power."
Xiao Wu was momentarily dazed as she read the journal, feeling a bit unsettled. According to this journal, I'm supposed to fall in love with Tang San later? How is that even possible?
With his worldview and his average looks? Why would I ever like him in the original story? That's just stupid!
Then she saw that Su Ming had called her a great beauty and admitted he liked her. Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a little happy—what girl wouldn't enjoy being called beautiful?
Compared to Tang San, she now felt more favorable toward Su Ming.
Su Ming noticed Xiao Wu staring blankly and asked, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong? You seem a bit out of it."
Xiao Wu snapped out of her daze and quickly responded, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just a bit shocked. How can someone with a martial soul like Blue Silver Grass have innate full soul power?"
Tang San awkwardly scratched his head and gave Xiao Wu a sheepish smile.
But seeing Tang San's swollen, pig-like face smiling at her made Xiao Wu feel a bit nauseous.
Just then, the journal updated again.
[Heh, Tang San doesn't actually have innate full soul power. There's more to it.]
Su Ming's words immediately piqued the interest of all the female leads. How can someone's innate soul power be flawed? Isn't it fixed from birth?
Of course, Su Ming's case was an exception due to his system, which was totally a cheat.
[Tang San himself is a cheat. His Mysterious Heaven Skill from his previous life is basically a hack in this world.]
The female leads: You have no right to criticize Tang San when you have an even more overpowered system!
[I still remember a part in the original story where Tang San trained in the mountains, practicing the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill until he hit a bottleneck just before awakening his martial soul.]
[That bottleneck was the first layer of the Mysterious Heaven Skill. No matter how much he trained, he couldn't break through to the second layer until he awakened his martial soul. After obtaining his first soul ring, he immediately broke through to the second layer and reached level 13 when he registered at the Spirit Hall.]
[According to the "Theory of Bottlenecks in Soul Master Training," even without obtaining a soul ring, a soul master can still train and accumulate soul power. Once they obtain a soul ring, that accumulated soul power will manifest.]
[This theory is accurate. It explains how Tang San's so-called innate full soul power actually came from training his Mysterious Heaven Skill. Otherwise, how else could he break through to the second layer immediately after obtaining his soul ring?]
[Plus, the four-hundred-year-old Datura Snake soul ring he absorbed would only grant him two levels at most, but Tang San gained three. This was because he had continued training the Mysterious Heaven Skill even after hitting a bottleneck!]
Not only Xiao Wu but also Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other girls were stunned by Su Ming's analysis!
They had never realized that innate soul power could be increased! In their understanding, it was something fixed at birth, determined by the quality of one's martial soul. Now, they learned there was an exception!
Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill was a massive cheat!
