Chapter 161: Special Reward, Bloodline Evolution Card

When Xiao Wu saw the reward in front of her, she was delighted. She could already feel her strength significantly increasing. Previously, her Explosive Eight Stage Throw was ineffective against powerful defensive or attack-type soul masters, such as Zao Wuji. But now, with the mastery of strength, she felt confident that she could easily handle even those much stronger than her.

Just when Xiao Wu thought today's rewards were over, another surprise popped up in her diary.

Ding! Congratulations to Xiao Wu for achieving an emotional breakthrough with host Su Ming. The system is issuing a special reward: one Bloodline Evolution Card!

Bloodline Evolution Card: When you obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring at level 70, your bloodline will evolve, and your martial soul will improve in quality!

Xiao Wu was stunned. After doing that with Su Ming, she received an additional benefit. This was an unexpected bonus!

The system didn't hide this reward, and all the female leads could see it.

At first, the other female leads were confused. A breakthrough in their relationship?

They remembered that Xiao Wu and Su Ming were already very close. How much more could their relationship develop? Could it be…?

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who had a close relationship with Xiao Wu and were nearest to her, exchanged surprised glances.

Ning Rongrong's lips curled into a smirk. She hadn't expected Xiao Wu to go through with it so quickly. After all, she had only made that suggestion a few days ago. How did they manage to do it in just the few hours after being captured by Er Ming and arriving at Star Lake?

But upon reflection, Ning Rongrong wasn't surprised. Everyone could tell how close Xiao Wu and Su Ming were. It was only a matter of time before they broke through that invisible barrier.

Xiao Wu, seeing that the unexpected reward was a Bloodline Evolution Card, realized that it required her to obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring at level 70. Coincidentally, level 70 was the point when she would officially become human, and it was a crucial turning point for any soul master.

The timing was perfect. When she reached level 70, it would make sense for her martial soul to evolve as well.

Considering how fast her body was improving, Xiao Wu felt that by the time she reached level 60, her spirit ring would likely be 100,000 years old.

The other female leads, who also had diaries, were envious of Xiao Wu's reward. Bloodline evolution and martial soul advancement were not unheard of in the soul master world, but they required both luck and skill, as well as an additional opportunity!

Bibi Dong, for instance, knew a bit about martial soul evolution. Dugu Bo's martial soul, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, was believed to have evolved from the Jade Phosphor Serpent. Dugu Yan, his granddaughter, still had the Jade Phosphor Serpent and had yet to evolve it.

However, the female leads knew that to gain such a hidden reward, they would need to do that with Su Ming, and it also required an "emotional breakthrough."

But without that emotional connection, they couldn't just offer themselves for the reward—it was a matter of the heart, after all.

At that moment, Xiao Wu sensed movement beside her. Turning her head, she saw Ning Rongrong quietly pulling Zhu Zhuqing over to her.

Ning Rongrong's curiosity was burning. She couldn't wait until they returned to the academy to ask Xiao Wu about it. She had to know right now! Her smile grew wider as she walked over, unable to control her excitement.

Xiao Wu assumed that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were coming over to ask about the reward she had received tonight. But when she glanced at their diaries, she saw that the reason for her reward and the details of the reward itself were displayed for them to see!

Xiao Wu's face flushed with embarrassment as she realized why Ning Rongrong was so eager to approach her. The system had made everything public!

How could she face anyone now?

System: Don't worry. You'll all probably become sisters someday, so you'll need to be honest with each other sooner or later. This just sped up the process, hehehe!

As expected, Ning Rongrong's face was slightly flushed, and with a hint of excitement, she asked, "Xiao Wu, you'd better fess up! Did you and Su Ming really do it?"

Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside her, blushed even harder than Ning Rongrong. If Ning Rongrong could be this blunt, how much more embarrassed must Xiao Wu be? At this point, Xiao Wu was practically steaming, with her face completely red!

Seeing that Ning Rongrong wouldn't let it go, and knowing Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't mind listening, Xiao Wu shyly stammered, "Y-Yes… didn't you already suggest it before, Rongrong? While we were with Er Ming, Su Ming and I confirmed our relationship. After gaining the approval of Da Ming and Er Ming at Star Lake, we…"

Ning Rongrong's heart raced. She was dying to ask the next question but found herself blushing from just thinking about it.

Still, curiosity and the desire for gossip outweighed her embarrassment. After all, it was just the three of them in the small cabin.

Since they were now on the outer edge of the forest, Su Ming had built a few small wooden cabins—one for the men and one for the women. It was still the Star Dou Forest, so they made do with what they had.

Ning Rongrong, being at an age where curiosity about such things was normal, braced herself and asked, "Xiao Wu, when you and Su Ming did that, what if something happened? If you're not fully human yet, would it be… a rabbit?"

"Ah!?"

Xiao Wu hadn't expected Ning Rongrong to ask such a private question. How was she supposed to answer that?

Blushing furiously, Xiao Wu stammered, "Rongrong! That's way too embarrassing!"

Ning Rongrong clung to Xiao Wu's hand, acting a bit spoiled as she pleaded, "Come on, Xiao Wu, just tell me! I'm really curious! When Tang San was born, he was a baby, but Ah Yin was already a Soul Sage by then. So what about you?"

Xiao Wu sighed, realizing that she couldn't avoid answering. She whispered, "Honestly, I'm not sure either. But maybe? When I was born, my mom hadn't yet taken human form, so I was born as a Soft Bone Rabbit. My parents were still soul beasts when they had me, but things are different with me and Su Ming…"
