"You lose!" Xiao Tian said with a faint smile.
A single drop of cold sweat trickled down Tang San's forehead. He was now filled with curiosity about Xiao Tian, unable to comprehend how he could be so formidable. Although their exchange had been brief, he had definitely felt the Sword Intent emanating from Xiao Tian's body. In his past life, he had only ever sensed such an aura from powerful sword masters. How was it possible for Xiao Tian, a six-year-old child who had just awakened his Spirit, to possess such a thing?
"I lost!" Tang San admitted, his voice laced with unwillingness. He then quickly added, "Even though I lost this time, it was only because the dormitory is too small, which prevented me from using my full abilities. If we were in an open area, I would have been the one to win for sure!"
This was the absolute confidence Tang San had in his Tang Sect arts. The previous exchange had been far too sudden; he hadn't even had time to activate his Purple Demon Eyes before Xiao Tian's sword was already at his neck.
Xiao Tian didn't doubt Tang San's words. He had indeed used the terrain to his advantage. In his past life, he had been nothing more than an ordinary person from the modern world. Besides his knowledge of the plot and his love for swords, he had no other advantages. Fortunately, in this life, he had a system, which meant he could reluctantly put up a decent fight against someone like Tang San!
[Ding! The system expresses its profound shock! The Host actually defeated the God King Tang San at the rank of Spirit Scholar! Although the possibility that God King Tang San was intentionally going easy cannot be ruled out!]
[Triggering a critical hit reward! Acquiring the martial arts techniques: Immortal Wind Cloud Body Art and Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Step!]
Xiao Tian's eyes lit up when he saw the two martial arts techniques the system had rewarded him with. Weren't these the skills of the legendary Sword Immortal? The Immortal Wind Cloud Body Art could create multiple physical illusions to confuse opponents or to launch group attacks. Meanwhile, the Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Step was a lightness skill that could also increase his own attack speed when used!
This system might be a bit unhinged, but the rewards it gave out were certainly top-notch!
The next moment, all the relevant information about the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Art and the Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Step was transmitted directly into his mind. Leveraging the comprehension enhancement he had received earlier, he instantly learned both techniques to an introductory level. He figured it would likely only take a few days for him to master them completely! With these, combined with the Sword Control Art he had developed from his past life's memories, he might not necessarily lose to Tang San, even in an open field!
Everyone else in Dormitory Seven was completely dumbfounded, especially Wang Sheng. He never imagined that this year's new students would be so ferocious. Tang San had already seemed incredibly strong—even if his Spirit was Blue Silver Grass, which he hadn't used at all. But Xiao Tian's strength was beyond his wildest expectations. The moment he held his sword, his entire aura became incredibly sharp. And didn't he lack a spirit ring? What in the world was that Sword Control Art technique he used just now? It looked way too cool!
"Xiao Tian, that Sword Control Art... was that something you figured out yourself, or did someone teach you? You don't have a spirit ring, yet you already have a spirit ability?" Tang San asked with intense curiosity, completely unconcerned that asking such a direct question might be rude, given that they had only just met.
Xiao Tian didn't answer Tang San's question, instead retorting with one of his own. "Oh? Actually, I'm quite interested in your abilities as well. That bizarre footwork and the way your hands turned a dark jade color... why don't you tell me about those first?"
Tang San: "..."
Seeing that Xiao Tian had no intention of answering, Tang San didn't press the issue. He chose a bed and set down his luggage.
Just then, a small, doll-like girl wearing a bunny-ear headband and a pink dress walked in.
"Hello, everyone! My name is Xiao Wu, the 'Wu' from 'dancing'. I'm a new work-study student," Xiao Wu announced to the room with a cheerful and lively voice.
Wang Sheng and the others exchanged glances, a helpless look in their eyes. Weren't there a few too many work-study students this year? Seeing the confident expression on Xiao Wu's face, Wang Sheng swallowed nervously and couldn't help but ask, "Um, Xiao Wu, what are your Spirit and innate spirit power?"
Xiao Wu placed her hands on her hips and said with a grin, "My Spirit is a rabbit, a very cute one, and I have innate full spirit power of rank ten!"
Standing to the side, Tang San looked at the doll-like girl and felt as if something had struck his heart. He couldn't quite describe the feeling, but he subconsciously spoke up, "Well, what a coincidence. I also have innate full spirit power of rank ten. It's just that my Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, which happens to be your food."
Only then did Xiao Wu notice the ordinary-looking, thin boy next to her. "Huh? This is the first time I've ever heard of someone with a Blue Silver Grass Spirit being able to cultivate, let alone with innate full spirit power. You're a strange one. What's your name?"
"Tang San."
Xiao Wu nodded thoughtfully but didn't seem to pay him much mind, as her attention was immediately captured by the other person beside him. "Are you a new student, too? Can you introduce yourself?"
Xiao Wu's gaze shifted to Xiao Tian. In all her travels, she had never seen someone so handsome. No, it wasn't just that he was handsome; he exuded an aura of resilience and sharpness. Though he was a six-year-old child just like her, his entire being seemed to radiate a palpable, cutting edge.
[Ding! Warning! Warning! The person before you is the Asura Sword Scabbard, Xiao Wu! A god-level entity and the wife of God King Tang San! The only reason the Host was able to defeat Tang San was because he didn't deign to take you seriously! If you harm Xiao Wu in any way, you will be courting death!]
Xiao Tian completely ignored the system's warning and spoke to Xiao Wu directly. "My name is Xiao Tian. My Spirit is a sword, innate rank five, and I'm the new leader of Dormitory Seven." He then explained the dormitory's rule to Xiao Wu, which, as expected, immediately piqued her interest.
Xiao Wu's face lit up with excitement. "So, you're saying you're the strongest one in this dorm right now? I'm a little surprised, though. You fought Tang San and you actually won? Even if his Spirit is just Blue Silver Grass, he still has five more ranks of spirit power than you! Oh well, never mind that. Does this mean if I beat you, I get to be the leader of Dormitory Seven? Then you'll all have to call me Big Sister Xiao Wu!"
Xiao Wu pointed her right index finger at Xiao Tian, her left hand resting on her hip, her face a mask of pure confidence. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, she had been the big boss, and now that she had come to the human world, she naturally wanted to be in charge here as well!
Tang San, standing off to the side, couldn't help but try to defend himself. "That's only because the dorm was too small! I couldn't use my full strength!"
Xiao Wu frowned at him. "That's pretty lame of you, Tang San. A loss is a loss. Stop making so many excuses!"
Tang San's face flushed with shades of purple and green. His eyes flickered towards Xiao Tian, his thoughts a jumble. For some unknown reason, he felt a sudden, powerful urge to prove himself in front of Xiao Wu.
