Chapter 42 Future Development

After hearing the master's well-reasoned analysis, Tang San, who was still hesitating whether to switch to practicing the Clear Sky Hammer, suddenly had his eyes brightened. The master was right. When his soul power level was cultivated to level 90, he would add soul rings to the second martial soul, and the minimum would be a ten thousand year soul ring.

Cheng Xiao suppresses me now, but it doesn't mean he can suppress me in the future? When I have completed the cultivation of my second martial soul and have nine ten thousand year soul rings, will I still be afraid of a soul master like Cheng Xiao who has only one martial soul?

At this moment, Tang San felt as if he had been enlightened, and a feeling of sudden clarity rose from the bottom of his heart. After Master's well-reasoned explanation, he finally understood the good intentions of Master and his father for not allowing him to practice the second martial soul. Perhaps Master's previous words were also a pity that he could not practice the second martial soul first?

Seeing Tang San's sudden enlightenment, a smile appeared on the master's stiff face, and he said: "Xiao San, don't worry, with the teacher here, you will definitely become the top powerhouse on the continent."

"Yeah." Tang San nodded obediently and said, "I understand, teacher."

Seeing this, the master patted Tang San's head gently and suggested: "Let's go to the cafeteria to eat something. You are still in the stage of growing up, and you can't fall behind in nutrition. Besides, I have something else to tell you."

"You are playing with your life." Cheng Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "You also know how attractive the soul rings and soul bones of a hundred thousand year soul beast are to soul masters. Now you and I are only second-ring great soul masters. If we encounter a high-level soul master, we will have no way to deal with it. Do you understand?"

The girl on the left turned her head and looked at the boy, with her hands on her chin, as if she wanted to say something, but she held back in the end.

"After graduation, you can go back to the Star Forest." Cheng Xiao was still looking at the full moon, his tone was calm but with a little ripple. His eyes were calm, as if nothing had ever moved him.

A bright full moon hangs in the sky, and the cold moonlight shines on the earth, dyeing the whole world a light silver-white.

...

Hearing this, Xiao Wu fell silent. Cheng Xiao was right. She did have a lucky mentality, thinking that the human world was so big, how could she easily meet a strong person who could see through her identity? But Cheng Xiao's words were like a sharp thorn that pierced her heart.

"Perhaps you will say that it is not such a coincidence. The human world is so big, how could you easily encounter a Titled Douluo? But you should be prepared for the worst. If you really encounter one, what will be the consequences? Do you know?"

Cheng Xiao was also a little dumbfounded, but looking at his roommates who were practicing hard around him, he sighed in his heart and decided not to disturb everyone's practice. He was a little tired from the practice today, so he might as well rest early.

At this moment, everyone in the dormitory was practicing seriously, and no one noticed the two people who walked in hand in hand.

"Cheng Xiao." Just when Cheng Xiao was thinking about how the future would develop, Xiao Wu beside him suddenly spoke, breaking the silence between the two.

Cheng Xiao turned his head and looked at Xiao Wu's panicked face, and said calmly: "Xiao Wu, have you ever thought about what would happen to you if you continued to stay in the human world and met a Titled Douluo-level expert one day?"

He would not go to Shrek Academy. For an academy that had no qualifications and nothing else, it was not his first choice. If possible, he would like to create an academy or a force by himself. After all, relying on the characteristics of his own martial spirit, as long as he was given enough time to grow up, he would be an army by then and no one would be able to stop him.

The afterglow of the moonlight fell on them with a faint silver color, as if imprinting a circle of silver-gray on their bodies.

"There are still four years before graduation, right?" Xiao Wu's face showed a blush, and she asked while biting her red lips.

Xiao Wu snorted, "I won't tell you. I'm sleepy. I want to go back to sleep. You stay with me."

"Hehe, are you scared? Tonight I'll let you know how powerful Sister Xiaowu is." Xiaowu grabbed Cheng Xiao's hand without saying a word, then jumped down from the roof and returned to the dormitory.

After hearing Xiao Wu's words, Cheng Xiao did not say anything else. He knew in his heart that only by returning to the Star Dou Great Forest could Xiao Wu's safety be guaranteed. Otherwise, joining the Shrek Academy would undoubtedly be courting death.

"I know, but I..." Xiao Wu's eyes gradually turned red. She bit her lips, as if she was suppressing some emotion. She stared at Cheng Xiao's face, which still showed no emotion. In the end, she did not say those words, but just nodded silently, and said in a trembling voice: "I know, after graduation, I will return to the Xingdou Great Forest."

On the roof of the work-study dormitory, two petite figures were sitting side by side. They were wearing the same clothes and just sitting there quietly.

"What do you want to tell me?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

The moon is like a silver plate, and the sky is filled with stars.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Xiao turned his head and looked at Xiao Wu beside him.

Seeing Xiao Wu didn't say anything, Cheng Xiao sighed softly, reached out and touched her little head, and said: "Xiao Wu, I don't covet your spirit rings and spirit bones, but other spirit masters may not be like this. For your safety, I think you should return to the Star Dou Great Forest until you cultivate to level 70 and completely transform into a human. At that time, your situation will be different from now. Do you understand?"

"But I don't want to be separated from you." Xiao Wu said with a lonely look.

After saying that, he ignored Cheng Xiao who was standing there in a daze and buried his little head directly into the quilt.

"Uh..." Cheng Xiao touched his nose. For some reason, he had a bad feeling about Xiao Wu's invitation.

Pulling Cheng Xiao back to their bed, Xiao Wu quickly got into bed, then pointed to an empty spot beside her and said, "Go to bed quickly. I'm exhausted today. Don't disturb me."

Cheng Xiao was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Yes, there are still four years left, why are you asking this?"

Xiao Wu was startled. She looked at Cheng Xiao, who had no expression on his face. She suddenly felt abandoned. She bit her teeth and said, "Why? Didn't you promise Daming and Erming to take good care of me?"

"Xiao Wu, I have something to tell you." The boy spoke, looking at the full moon in the sky and speaking earnestly.

So, Cheng Xiao lay down on the bed very naturally, but he did not cover himself with the quilt, because the whole quilt was occupied by Xiao Wu. He did not think of snatching the quilt from Xiao Wu, but just closed his eyes, relaxed his mind, and planned to have a good sleep.

However, just when Cheng Xiao was about to fall asleep, his chest suddenly felt heavy, and then, a faint breath swept across his neck, and then...
