What Xiao Tian didn't realize was that because of his recent contemplation, which reaffirmed his path as a Sword Cultivator, his Sword Intent was slowly and imperceptibly growing, a benefit brought by the improvement in his comprehension.
Xiao Tian was also a bit surprised by what Xiao Wu said, but he calmly replied, "Alright, then let's go into the city. It'll be a good chance to explore Nuoding City."
Xiao Wu hummed in agreement, then closely followed behind Xiao Tian, ignoring Tang San behind her.
Tang San's mouth twitched, and he gave a deep, meaningful look at Xiao Tian's back.
He tidied his bed while pondering Xiao Tian's actions just now.
It was strange; he always felt as if his trump cards were seen through by Xiao Tian, and was Xiao Tian really that much of a genius?
Also, before obtaining a spirit ring, he could use Spirit Abilities. The Sword Control Technique at the beginning had already surprised him, and later, during his fight with Xiao Wu, the footwork Xiao Tian displayed was definitely a lightness skill!
Lightness skill?
Tang San's heart involuntarily skipped a beat, and then he thought of the Sword Intent Xiao Tian exuded. He couldn't help but wonder if Xiao Tian, like him, had transmigrated from another World?
Moreover, Xiao Tian's previous life was very likely a disciple of a Sword Sect, which is why his understanding of the sword was so profound, to the point that he had already mastered Sword Intent at the age of six!
In his previous life, as an outer Sect assassin of the Tang Sect, he had encountered Sword Cultivators during missions, but most of them did not possess Sword Intent. Those who did were all famous figures in the martial World!
However, today was only the first day he met Xiao Tian, so he couldn't jump to conclusions too soon. There were several points that needed confirmation now.
1. Is Xiao Tian, like him, reborn into this World and possesses memories from his previous life? (Tang San considered himself reborn, but was actually body-snatched.)
2. If Xiao Tian is like him, then does he come from the same World as his previous life?
3. Can Xiao Tian become his companion? If not, according to Tang Sect rules, any threat must be eliminated as soon as possible!
"I say, Xiao Wu, you already have innate full spirit power. Once you get your first spirit ring in a few days, won't you be able to go to the Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City to claim your Spirit Master subsidy? That's one gold coin, enough for us for a long time."
Xiao Tian said calmly, also probing Xiao Wu's attitude.
No matter what, he was still very grateful to Spirit Hall. Not only did they help commoners awaken their Spirit for free, but they also provided a generous monthly subsidy.
However, when he thought of Bibi Dong's attitude towards Yu Xiaogang, he felt a bit speechless—an almost fanatical obsession—but then again, that was none of his business.
Originally, Xiao Wu was in a cheerful mood.
Now, after hearing Xiao Tian's words, she immediately stopped being cheerful.
Her expression even turned a bit cold: "There's no way I'm going to Spirit Hall to claim a subsidy, and Spirit Hall isn't anything good either. Why do you have such a good impression of Spirit Hall, Xiao Tian?"
Xiao Tian felt the 'chill' emanating from Xiao Wu but wasn't too concerned. He said with a calm expression, "Because the people of Spirit Hall helped me, a commoner with no background, awaken my Spirit for free, and they also provide subsidies. That alone is enough. One must know how to be grateful, otherwise, wouldn't I become an ungrateful wretch? That would be of no benefit to my Sword Dao!
Although I don't know why you dislike Spirit Hall, I don't really care, after all, we've only known each other for less than a day."
Xiao Wu was also slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Xiao Tian to say that.
Indeed, Spirit Hall's help to commoners like Xiao Tian was significant, and it was only natural for Xiao Tian to be grateful to Spirit Hall. She shouldn't have let her emotions get involved.
Originally, she wanted to say something, but her lips moved, and she decided not to. Indeed, she and Xiao Tian had only known each other for less than a day.
However, Xiao Tian's words immediately made her recall witnessing her mother being hunted by Bibi Dong for her spirit ring and Spirit Bone while hiding in the bushes when she was little. Her eyes instantly turned red, overwhelmed with emotion!
"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Wu, are you okay? I just said it casually, you don't need to cry."
Xiao Tian hadn't expected Xiao Wu to cry like that.
Xiao Wu wiped the tears from her eyes and said proudly, "Who said I was crying? Also, after we buy the bedding, I'm going to cultivate. Once I get my first spirit ring after a while, I'll spar with you again. I want to make you wholeheartedly call me Xiao Wu Jie!"
Xiao Wu's fighting Spirit was also ignited by Xiao Tian's probing words, which somewhat surprised him.
Xiao Tian still remembered that Xiao Wu had verbally claimed she would cultivate diligently after transforming to seek revenge on Bibi Dong, but whether at Notting Academy or Shrek Academy, she only focused on dating!
This is good now; let her focus all her attention on her cultivation instead of Tang San, as that wouldn't benefit her much, and she would eventually only end up sacrificing herself and offering three 100,000-year spirit rings and Spirit Bones.
However, Xiao Tian remembered that Xiao Wu's mother was not killed by Bibi Dong, but was severely injured by a powerful Spirit Beast when she went to the Land of Great Evil to search for her husband.
If Bibi Dong had really killed Xiao Wu's mother, and Xiao Wu had hidden nearby and witnessed it all, would Bibi Dong, with her Titled Douluo mental force, not have noticed a transformed Soft Bones Rabbit nearby?
One must know that Bibi Dong is the owner of twin spirits, so there's no situation where she couldn't absorb it. Even if she couldn't absorb it, she could have captured and raised Xiao Wu, but Bibi Dong at that time didn't do so, which makes one ponder deeply.
[Ding, warning! God of Slaughter Tang Hao, the Douluo Star Plane Master, is within a five-hundred-meter radius of the host. Please be careful! This system just said not to provoke Tang San and Xiao Wu, and now look, you hit the small one, and the old one came.]
[This system suggests that the host should still use that jade pendant to secretly transfer away and develop stealthily!]
Xiao Tian immediately felt speechless. Why was Tang Hao not keeping an eye on his own son, but instead on him—no, he should be watching Xiao Wu.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but glance at the spirited Xiao Wu beside him, feeling a bit sympathetic. Why did she choose Nuoding City out of all the small cities?
The key is that the Star Dou Great Forest spans across the Two Great Empires, and Notting Academy is quite a distance from the Heaven Dou Empire, not to mention the Star Dou Great Forest itself.
Suddenly thinking of this, Xiao Tian was somewhat curious how Xiao Wu managed to travel such a long distance to Notting Academy. The Heaven Dou Empire wasn't without remote small cities.
However, Xiao Tian's attention wasn't on this, but on the system's address for Tang Hao.
