Seeing that Tang San and Xiao Wu had gotten closer because of a contest, Director Su sighed: "Geniuses always attract each other. It seems that our Nuoding Academy will become famous among the primary soul master academies in the future."

The principal of Nuoding Academy also showed a smile on his face: "Yes, when they graduate, we might be able to do some publicity for our Nuoding Academy, and expand the construction of the academy and increase enrollment."

The leaders of the school left with laughter.

The work-study students also dispersed, after all, the excitement was over, and they naturally had to do their own things. They were not rich people.

Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiao Wu obviously wanted to discuss something with Tang San. At this time, it would be asking for trouble to join them.

Children from poor backgrounds have self-esteem, but they can also observe words and expressions, and they will not do things that they cannot afford.

"I won't call you Xiao San, what should I call you?" Xiao Wu blinked, feeling that she had to take advantage of this, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable. Who made the little boy in front of her make Xiao Wu sister lose face?

"Just call me by my name, no need for any special titles." Tang San thought for a while and said, "By the way, what is your full name? You don't have the surname 'Xiao', do you? That's really special."

Xiao Wu snorted and said, "I do have the surname Xiao."

"Well, then I'll take advantage of it." Tang San smiled.

"You guy, you're really annoying." Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, but still decided to follow Tang San and see what he usually does. And following such a genius, the probability of being noticed by the strong among humans would be less.

Besides, this Tang San was not as annoying as she said.

"Is the Wind Listening Rabbit really more suitable for my second soul ring choice?" Xiao Wu asked about her future second soul ring choice.

"Of course, after all, rabbits don't go for agility attack, but for strength attack, which is a bit of a waste of the talent that rabbits should have." Tang San affirmed his own idea.

"Why can't rabbits be strength attack?" Xiao Wu still liked to go for strength attack, after all, her favorite thing was to fight, and strength attack was obviously the most powerful soul master in fighting.

"It's not that they can't, soul power is not a real animal or object after all." Tang San corrected, "It's just not suitable. After all, you have a bit of a rebellious personality. If you don't change it, I'm afraid no one will sincerely choose you as a teammate, and without anyone's protection, you will face a lot of difficulties in your early development."

"Oh, I almost forgot, you are a rich girl who ran away from home, with a big family behind you, you don't need to care about these things."

"Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xiao Wu grinded her teeth, making a clattering sound, but after taking a deep breath, she asked inexplicably, "Can't we be friends?"

"Don't be too naive." Tang San looked into Xiao Wu's eyes, "The premise of being friends is to be able to understand each other. At least, I don't think you understand me very well."

"Don't say it so early, we are going to be desk mates for six years." Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true. After all, I will apply to Teacher Mo Hen later and plan to study by myself in the library. And you... I also went to the first class, you haven't even recognized all the 500 commonly used characters."

Tang San mocked without mercy, "Besides cultivating talent, you are good for nothing. Even if someone looks for you as a friend, they probably just like your talent. That's not bad, after all, talent is capital."

"But then again, you look a bit silly, you might be sold by someone, and still help them count the money."

Xiao Wu was unconvinced: "Am I that stupid?"

"No, after all, there is a saying that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Rabbits also have clever places, but cleverness does not mean wisdom, and sometimes small cleverness can bring serious consequences." Tang San's bright eyes made Xiao Wu's scalp numb as if everything about her had been seen through by him.

"Which soul beast did your first soul ring come from?" Xiao Wu changed the topic.

"Thousand-root banyan."

"What is that?" Xiao Wu looked dumbfounded, not knowing what kind of soul-beast it was.

"A kind of banyan tree, even if it is ten thousand years old, it will not produce any wisdom, but a forest of one tree, this is also the reason why I can develop the endless grassland from the first soul skill."

Tang San did not hide it, "But, what it brings to me is mainly recovery. The most prominent feature of my blue-silver grass is its strong vitality. According to my judgment, when I reach the titled Douluo level, I might be able to achieve the resurrection effect of living dead and flesh and bones."

"Resurrection!"

Xiao Wu was shocked, thinking of something, and asked excitedly, "Can you really resurrect others?"

"I'm not sure yet, but it should be possible."

Tang San knew what Xiao Wu was thinking, but he didn't say it too full, but gave her a hope.

"After all, the blue silver grass is a plant with extremely strong vitality. Even if it is burned by fire, it can grow again. And my blue silver grass soul power goes the way of life. The first soul skill can make people's state fully recover. I don't know what level I can reach in the future."

"Sometimes, I'm really afraid of my own talent."

Xiao Wu was speechless, and the excitement just now subsided a bit, just because the guy in front of her was more rebellious than her.

"Why did you get so excited when I talked about resurrection? Do you need me to help you resurrect someone in the future?" Tang San persuaded kindly.

"Well, my mother..." Xiao Wu hesitated, then asked, "If there is no corpse, can she still be resurrected?"

"What is a person made of?"

Before Xiao Wu could answer, Tang San continued, "Body, soul, and at most a soul power, just these three things. If your mother doesn't even have a corpse, does her soul still exist?"

Body, soul?

Xiao Wu thought of something and muttered to herself, "My mother was hunted down and her corpse was taken away. I only kept some of the fur that my mother had shed. I collected some bloodstains afterwards. As for the soul, it exists in the soul ring and soul bone. As long as I find the person who hunted down my mother, I should be able to get it back, but the premise is that I have to be stronger than that person!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu suddenly had the motivation to practice hard, but still asked, "If there is no corpse, but there is some blood left, can she be resurrected?"

"Yes, have you heard of cloning?" Tang San asked.

"I haven't heard of it, what is it?" Xiao Wu was puzzled and curious.

"It's a technology that copies life. I have read a lot of books and seen such a statement, that is, every cell in a living thing has a factor that represents the bloodline of that living thing. As long as there is one cell left in the world, someone can analyze and copy the bloodline information in it. With enough technology and energy, they can completely copy the living thing."

Tang San said lightly, "This is the forbidden technique of life, but I will go the way of life in the future, and I will inevitably touch it. You can try to believe me, but don't trust me completely, after all, I'm not sure how far I can do it."

"I believe you." Xiao Wu said, "After all, no one else would nag me like an old mother."

Tang San: "..."
