[With the help of Jack, you and Tang San both successfully enter Nuoding Academy as work-study students.]
[At the entrance of Nuoding Academy, you are harassed by the gate guards.]
[Just then, a middle-aged man with a crew cut walks over. He scolds the guards and brings you and Tang San into the academy.]
[The man introduces himself as Yu Xiaogang, known as "Grandmaster." His most notable achievement is publishing the Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls.]
[Yu Xiaogang takes a liking to Tang San and asks him to become his disciple. When he learns that your innate soul power is level 9, he is overjoyed and asks you to release your martial soul.]
[When he sees that your martial soul is a gourd on the verge of breaking, the smile on Yu Xiaogang's face freezes, then turns into disdain. He immediately gives up on taking you as a disciple and tells you to leave.]
[You leave Yu Xiaogang's office and return to the work-study dormitory.]
[You defeat the original dorm leader of Seventh Dorm, Wang Sheng, and become the new leader.]
[Then Tang San appears along with a little girl wearing pink clothes, holding a carrot, with a pair of rabbit ears on her head.]
[You are defeated by Tang San, and Tang San is then defeated by the rabbit-eared girl.]
[The rabbit girl finds you friendly-looking, cute, and handsome. She walks toward you, extends her hand, and says: Hello, my name is Xiao Wu, as in dance.]
[You say: My name is Ye Hao, Ye as in leaf, Hao as in vast.]
[When you shake hands, although Tang San has a smile on his face, his fists are clenched so tightly that they creak.]
[Next, the scene of you and Xiao Wu sleeping in the same bed under the same blanket happens, making Tang San so jealous that he almost explodes on the spot!]
Ye Hao: "Well… I actually got entangled with this rogue rabbit."
The most troublesome part is that Tang Hao has probably set his sights on me too.
The simulated version of himself has no idea what kind of person Tang Hao is!
[In the blink of an eye, a month passes.]
[You break through to level 10 and can obtain a soul ring.]
[Tang San invites you to go with him and his teacher. Yu Xiaogang originally wants to refuse, but since Tang San is the one asking, he agrees.]
[You arrive together at the Hunting Forest.]
[When you hear Yu Xiaogang say that Tang San can choose a ten-year Lone Bamboo as his first soul ring, you feel he is unreliable and secretly become wary of him.]
[Sure enough, when a Mandala Snake chases after you, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San shamelessly claim they will lure it away, then abandon you and run off!]
[The Mandala Snake relentlessly pursues you, and you accidentally fall into a valley.]
[You lose consciousness.]
Ye Hao: "As expected of master and disciple, truly birds of a feather. Their goals are exactly the same."
It is impossible to find people so alike, both scheming with countless layers like stacked tofu.
Surviving a great disaster brings future blessings!
[Unbeknownst to you, when you fall into the valley, you accidentally crush a severely injured, dying soul beast, a Great Strength Vajra Ape.]
[You unexpectedly obtain a 500-year soul ring.]
[You miraculously succeed in absorbing this soul ring.]
[At the moment the absorption completes, your martial soul cracks open!]
Ye Hao: "???????"
It really cracked?
[From the gourd, a figure jumps out.]
[Yes, your martial soul has evolved.]
[Your current martial soul is called… Vajra Gourd Child!]
[Your first soul skill is "Strength Creates Miracles." This skill allows your body to grow larger. As your soul power increases, a single punch can reach a force of 100,000 jin.]
[You do not return to Nuoding Academy and instead begin solitary cultivation outside.]
[In the blink of an eye, six years pass.]
[Through your own efforts, you become a level 30 Soul Elder.]
[At level 20, you kill an 800-year Far-Sight Hunting Leopard with one punch, gaining a soul skill that grants long-distance vision and penetration sight.]
[At level 30, you kill a Wind-Calling Big-Eared Mouse, gaining the ability to hear any sound within 100 meters. As your soul power increases, your hearing range continues to expand.]
[After disguising yourself, you arrive at Soto City, preparing to further improve your strength through battles in the Great Soul Arena.]
[Under the name "Vajra," you register for the solo matches.]
[With no one optimistic about you, you win your first match in an overwhelming manner, beginning your winning streak.]
[Within one month, you participate in soul battles every day and win every match!]
[You achieve thirty consecutive victories.]
[You achieve fifty consecutive victories.]
[You become a Golden Soul Fighter!]
[On this day, several uninvited guests arrive at the arena.]
[Leading them is a blond man who thinks himself extremely handsome, walking with his chin raised arrogantly.]
[There is also a red-haired man with a lewd expression, a short-haired man wearing glasses, a girl in a pink dress with rabbit ears, a cat-eared girl, and a woman in luxurious attire. A total of seven people.]
[You recognize one of them immediately, Tang San, who nearly got you killed back then!]
[They are registering at the front desk.]
[When they learn that the top-ranked fighter is someone named Vajra, they all sneer, believing this victory will belong to them.]
[Tang San in particular directly names you as his opponent!]
[He even resorts to bribery to ensure he can defeat you, just to show off in front of Xiao Wu.]
[Three days later, you step onto the same arena.]
[Tang San looks at you, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.]
[In the stands, Yu Xiaogang is full of confidence.]
[He says you look like nothing more than a decorative pillow, and as long as Tang San gets slightly serious, you, a fifty-win Golden Soul Fighter, would not last even ten minutes!]
[Flender nods in agreement, delighted that he can make money.]
[With the referee's command, the match begins!]
[Tang San immediately uses "Mother Binding," tightly restraining you, then throws hidden weapon silver needles at you, intending to poison you.]
[You tear apart the Blue Silver Grass with brute force and knock him to the ground with a single punch.]
Ye Hao: "Good grief, playing like this… aren't you afraid Tang Hao might suddenly jump out and punch you?"
Back then, when Ye Hao was knocked into the valley and fell unconscious because of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang…
Did Tang Hao go down to check?
Could it be that all these years, he has been cultivating and improving under Tang Hao's surveillance?
Did that idiot treat him as motivation to push Tang San forward?
The more Ye Hao thought about it, the more plausible it seemed!
[After failing to defeat you, Tang San feels extremely dissatisfied and tells Dai Mubai that he must defeat you.]
[Then he will defeat Dai Mubai.]
[That way, the strongest person will still be Tang San, and Xiao Wu will definitely fall in love with him!]
[Thinking of this, Tang San cannot help but laugh.]
[You defeat Dai Mubai.]
[You defeat Zhu Zhuqing.]
[You beat Ma Hongjun badly.]
[You beat Oscar badly as well!]
[Even Xiao Wu loses to you on the arena.]
[Your winning streak continues.]
[Xiao Wu increasingly feels that your gaze is very familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere before, but she cannot find the answer.]
[She persistently questions you, causing Tang San to hate you even more, believing you deserve death!]
[Tang San and the others refuse to accept defeat and decide to return in one month!]
