"What should we do, Lu Feng? Will Tang San be alright? Will he be expelled?" Xiao Wu tugged on the corner of Lu Feng's clothes and asked worriedly.
Seeing this, Lu Feng was a bit puzzled.
Big sister, you're a transformed soul beast, a hegemon of the forest!
And you're worried about a six-year-old brat?
Lu Feng patted Xiao Wu's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, not only does Tang San have innate full soul power, but he has also obtained a soul ring. He's a treasure to the academy. What's more, he has a Soul Grandmaster powerhouse as a teacher to back him up."
"Mm," Xiao Wu nodded upon hearing this.
Suddenly, her big eyes darted around as she looked Lu Feng up and down. "Lu Feng, you were so mean just now! You actually let Tang San take the fall for you."
Hearing this, Lu Feng immediately jumped up 'excitedly'.
"Slander! I'll sue you for slander!"
"Tang San and I are from the same village; we grew up together. He's my dearest friend and family, my brother-in-arms!"
"Pfft!" Seeing this, Xiao Wu immediately covered her mouth and burst out laughing.
"Lu Feng, I've discovered you're a super big villain! Hahaha!"
"Hmph! For the sake of the fragments, I won't stoop to your level, you little girl!" Seeing Xiao Wu laughing so hard that tears were coming out, Lu Feng snorted coldly and walked towards the classroom.
Just as Lu Feng had expected, Tang San was only briefly criticized by Director Su and returned to the classroom unscathed.
On the contrary, the rest of them, the work-study students, were scolded by Director Su until they didn't dare to breathe and even had a month's wages deducted.
After returning to the dormitory, Lu Feng compensated each of his underlings with ten Silver Soul Coins. The main responsibility for today's incident, which had blown up so much, lay with Lu Feng. If he hadn't disregarded martial virtue in the first place, they wouldn't have been drawn into a chaotic brawl.
Of course, the spoils of war were also very rich.
And through this experiment, Lu Feng discovered another pattern of fragment drops.
The probability of fragments dropping was highest during battle. Moreover, he didn't have to participate in it himself; he could also pick up fragments by being a spectator from a distance.
A gentle breeze blew, and the moon was bright with few stars.
"Carrots, carrots."
Xiao Wu muttered a few words in her sleep, then turned over and stretched her foot to the side of Tang San's mouth.
Looking at the completely unladylike Xiao Wu, Lu Feng's eyes were filled with a sense of inquiry.
In today's battle, Xiao Chenyu and Xiao Wu used their first soul skills several times. It seems I can't pick up soul skill fragments?
If I remember correctly, Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body are both Xiao Wu's soul bone skills. In the original work, Tang San escaped from many fatal crises by relying on the Invincible Golden Body.
So, why was I able to pick up these two skills?
Lu Feng stroked his chin and fell into thought.
"Soul rings... soul bones."
"Two soul beasts of the same species and the same age will produce different soul skills. The same soul beast, when absorbed by different Soul Masters, will also produce different soul skills."
"It can be said that a Soul Master's soul skills are almost unique and difficult to replicate."
"Soul bones, on the other hand, are different. No matter who absorbs them, their soul skill effects will not change. Some powerful Soul Masters can even predict the skills produced by a soul bone in advance."
Lu Feng closed his eyes and thought quietly.
There's another possibility. Even if I killed Xiao Wu right now, I could only absorb her soul bone, not her soul ring. So, even when fleecing, I can only get soul bone skills.
"Mommy... mommy," at this moment, Xiao Wu suddenly said something in her sleep.
Lu Feng opened his eyes and looked at the girl sleeping peacefully in the moonlight. It was hard to associate her with a soul beast.
Xiao Wu has probably been noticed by Tang Hao by now. Whether Tang Hao sees her as a daughter-in-law or as a reserve soul ring for Tang San, it has nothing to do with me.
Speaking of which, she's quite a pitiful person in the original work.
Sigh, I'm getting ahead of myself. I should probably pity myself first!
Lu Feng turned over, stopped letting his thoughts run wild, and soon fell asleep as well.
On the rooftop of the teaching building, a man in a black robe leaned against a stone pillar, quietly watching the student dormitory.
"Little San, will you also encounter the same fate as your father?"
Lu Feng's daily life was very fulfilling. He attended classes in the morning, went to the library in the afternoon, and sparred with Tang San and Xiao Wu in his spare time.
Although the two had already obtained soul rings, they couldn't gain any advantage in their spars. Even when Tang San used his hidden weapons, he could only barely suppress Lu Feng.
Of course, Tang San only used stones. Lu Feng wasn't foolish enough to try and catch sharp projectiles with his bare hands.
It was worth mentioning that under Xiao Wu's constant pestering, Tang San finally agreed to bring Lu Feng and Xiao Wu to the Grandmaster's dormitory to audit his lessons.
Seeing Lu Feng again, the Grandmaster had a dark expression on his face for almost the entire time.
But soon, he witnessed what a real 'bad student' was.
Whenever the topic of soul beast knowledge was discussed, Xiao Wu would always stand up and debate with Yu Xiaogang, often refuting him until he was speechless.
Later, both Yu Xiaogang and Tang San got used to it, even treating her as a child from some great clan. Only Lu Feng knew that this one was the ancestor of soul beasts.
Time flew by, and soon, the first school year came to an end.
"Brother Feng, Brother San, Sister Xiao Wu, goodbye!"
At the entrance of Dormitory Seven, Wang Sheng said goodbye to everyone with his luggage on his back.
He had successfully obtained a soul ring and advanced to a Soul Master. Next year, he would be promoted to the intermediate academy.
With Wang Sheng's departure, only Lu Feng, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were left in the entire Dormitory Seven.
"Little rabbit, aren't you going home?" Lu Feng asked casually, lying on his bed.
"Damn Lu Feng, stinky Lu Feng, how many times have I told you, don't call me little rabbit!"
"Okay, rabbit! No problem, rabbit!"
"Ah~!" Hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately bared her teeth and brandished her claws, charging directly onto Lu Feng's bed and wrestling with him.
"Sigh~" Tang San sighed as he watched Xiao Wu being pinned down on the bed by Lu Feng, unable to move.
Over the past year, the three of them had often sparred together, and their relationship was quite good.
As for Xiao Wu, although she was weak and playful, Tang San already regarded her as a younger sister.
And as for Lu Feng.
"Unfathomably deep!" Tang San shook his head slightly as he looked at the young boy showing off his might on the bed.
Over the past year, I've fought with Lu Feng dozens of times. In the beginning, I could still suppress him with my soul skills and Tang Sect's ultimate techniques, but Lu Feng's learning ability seems to be a bit too strong!
He has completely mastered Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, learned three-tenths of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and even my hidden weapons...
However, some of Lu Feng's strange and brilliant ideas have also been a great help to me.
"Lu Feng, I've packed up. Are you going back with me?" Tang San asked.
Before Lu Feng could reply, Xiao Wu spoke first, "Lu Feng, you and Little San are both from Holy Spirit Village. How about I go to your home to play?"
Hearing this, Tang San smiled and said, "Sure, as long as you don't mind that my family is poor."
Lu Feng got off Xiao Wu and straightened his clothes slightly. "Tang San, I'm not going back this holiday."
Tang San asked curiously, "Lu Feng, do you have something important to do?"
Lu Feng nodded and said with a faint smile, "Mm, I've already broken through to level ten."
