Chapter 3: Tang San, He Believed It Again?
Tang San had one more question in his heart. When he went back to study, he could ask his teacher for guidance, but he felt that the teacher didn't really want to mention Mo Bai.
Mo Bai clearly felt Tang San's gaze and smiled inwardly. Once a day; he could start his Delusion again today.
He stepped straight toward Tang San. Seeing Mo Bai heading toward Tang San, the so-called Innate Full Spirit Power, the people around them all sat back with interested smiles, waiting for a show.
"I didn't expect that you are also an Innate Full Spirit Power."
With Mo Bai's first smiling sentence, he confirmed both his and Tang San's status as Innate Full Spirit Powers.
Including himself, Tang San had accepted his kindness, so there was a ninety percent chance he wouldn't refute his status as an Innate Full Spirit Power. Giving away money was very effective—the most direct form of kindness.
"Pfft!" The surrounding students immediately started jeering. "With the way he looks, how could he possibly be an Innate Full Spirit Power?"
"Exactly, exactly. I think it's a lie. It's hard enough for someone from a small mountain village to even have Soul Power, let alone be an Innate Full Spirit Power."
"Young Master Mo, don't let him deceive you."
One student kindly advised him.
Comparisons breed resentment. In their eyes, Mo Bai was definitely, one hundred percent, an Innate Full Spirit Power. Xiao Wu was quite cute, so there was a fifty percent chance she was too.
As for Tang San, there wasn't a shred of possibility. Most of them had received favors from Mo Bai, so naturally, they didn't want to see Mo Bai being deceived.
"Uh... yeah." Tang San hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Although the surrounding gazes were skeptical and not very friendly, being an Innate Full Spirit Power was a fact.
Even if those around him didn't believe it, once he went to hunt for a Soul Ring tomorrow or the day after, he could prove everything. At that time, everyone would definitely see him in a new light.
After Mo Bai finished his greeting, he quietly watched Tang San. Communication was an art, and that was his opening line.
Given the other party's favorable impression, in order not to lose Face, there was a high probability they would respond with a second sentence. Combined with the many students watching, it would likely become a confirmation.
Now was the specific moment he had sought out.
Tang San looked up at Mo Bai. With his handsome, jade-like appearance, Tang San's words faltered slightly. He had to admit there was a significant gap in their looks; he seemed to understand the people around them now.
"We... it is quite a coincidence."
"Heh, still pretending..."
"Say no more." Mo Bai raised his voice slightly, interrupting the students' dissatisfied remarks about Tang San, and pointed to his own eyes. "Don't forget that my Martial Soul is eyes. I can see the abundant Soul Power in Tang San's body very clearly."
"He is undoubtedly an Innate Full Spirit Power."
"How is that possible? Just him..."
Some students wanted to argue, but Mo Bai's words were surprisingly credible. Upon hearing this, most of the ill-willed gazes dissipated, replaced by shock and disbelief as they looked at Tang San.
Tang San faintly felt the change in the surrounding atmosphere and looked at Mo Bai with a bit more surprise. Mo Bai's prestige among the students was even higher than he had imagined.
Even higher than when he was the Outer Sect Senior Brother in the Tang Sect in his previous life. Was this the charm of spending money?
And could those eyes really see the changes inside his body? Could ordinary eyes have such an ability? But if it was an Innate Full Spirit Power, there really was such a possibility...
Fortunately, he wasn't running the Mysterious Heaven Skill right now. It would be bad if it were seen; he had to be careful in the future.
Tang San pondered inwardly. Mo Bai took in the silent Tang San, the corners of his mouth curling slightly. He could test the progress.
"Tang San, if you have any doubts about Innate Full Spirit Power in the future, you can come to me. I know a bit more about this than the Master. After all, I am an Innate Full Spirit Power, aren't I?"
Delusion activated. A strange, slow wave of speech entered Tang San's ears, making him involuntarily take Mo Bai's words seriously.
Wang Sheng and the others' absolute trust in Mo Bai, the other students' knowledge that he was an Innate Full Spirit Power, the dissatisfaction from the comparison, and the resulting verbal sarcasm.
The unique ability Mo Bai spoke of...
"Yes, I will come if I have the chance." Tang San hesitated for half a second before saying the words Mo Bai had been waiting for.
[Ding! Tang San has believed your lie—Innate Full Spirit Power. Trust level 80%, Manifestation level 100%, successfully manifested Innate Rank 8 Soul Power!]
Mo Bai listened to the System's voice in his mind and smiled with satisfaction, reaching out to pat Tang San's thin shoulder.
"It's a promise then. Remember to come next time."
Having achieved his goal, Mo Bai had no intention of staying longer. After saying these encouraging words, he left to find his next target. On the first day of school, a certain rabbit didn't seem to come to the afternoon classes. Was she not used to human schedules?
Tang San stared at Mo Bai's departing back, feeling for a moment as if the other party had been waiting for him to say those words. Forget it, he had already wasted quite a bit of time here.
The teacher was still waiting for him.
The surrounding students looked at the departing figures of Mo Bai and Tang San, exchanging glances. They couldn't understand how a kid like that could be an Innate Full Spirit Power just like Young Master Mo.
Heaven is unfair!
...
Leaving the teaching building, Mo Bai walked along the main road of Nuoding Academy in high Martial Souls. After Tang San agreed, Soul Power erupted within his body, forcibly raising his originally Rank 5 Soul Power to Rank 10.
His eyes felt a faint swelling pain, as if some unknown change was occurring. This change wasn't instantaneous; he guessed he would know the transformation of his eyes by tomorrow.
With his Soul Power Rank reaching the requirement, theoretically, he could already hunt for his First Spirit Ring. However, there were almost no Soul Beasts suitable for him in the Spirit Hunting Forest, so the matter of the Soul Ring would have to depend on another person.
Mo Bai walked all the way to the Work-Study Student dormitory and happened to see a certain class-skipping rabbit being questioned by Teacher Mo Hen. Xiao Wu lowered her head one moment and looked up the next.
She looked both submissive and defiant at the same time.
Teacher Mo Hen was also quite helpless. They had been talking for nearly an hour, and she didn't seem to understand, but if he delayed any longer, he would have to work overtime, which was unacceptable.
Before leaving, he said one last thing.
"Don't let it happen again!"
Turning around, he saw Mo Bai. For this Innate Full Spirit Power Genius with the same surname, Teacher Mo Hen had a high opinion of Mo Bai. He smiled softly and glanced back out of the corner of his eye.
He could probably guess that Mo Bai was there to find Xiao Wu. After all, geniuses tend to appreciate and be attracted to one another.
Compared to the Blue Silver Grass being an Innate Full Spirit Power, he was more inclined to believe that the Soft Bones Demon Rabbit and Mo Bai's eyes were Innate Full Spirit Powers.
"Goodbye, Teacher."
Mo Bai replied politely.
Mo Hen gave a gentle smile in return and quickened his pace to leave. Young people had their own topics; it was best for him not to interfere, as they were better off alone.
Seeing Mo Bai, Xiao Wu also cast a curious gaze. That one gold coin she used yesterday had lasted a long time and even solved her problem of not having a quilt.
He's a good person, and he's quite good-looking too.
