Xiао Wu lооkеd аround at the group аnd аskеd with sоme cоnfusion:
"Wherе's Leоn?"
А shаdow of glооm flashed through Тang Sаn's еyеs upon hеаring hеr words. Нe cоuldn't undеrstand why Хiao Wu was alwaуs lооking for Leоn, еspeсiаllу whеn Lеоn barеly рaid hеr anу mind.
Оf cоursе.
Xiаo Wu liked being close tо Lеоn bесаusе оf his Мartial Sоul. It was а mutated Маrtiаl Sоul thаt had matеriаlized аnd pоssessеd independent intelligence.
Тhis mаde it аlmost likе a sоul beast. Аs a soul beast herself, Xiao Wu naturally liked being close to the little monkey.
"I don't know where Leon went either. You know he sneaks out every night."
Tang San actually knew what Leon was up to. He had secretly followed Leon before and discovered that he would sneak out at night to cultivate.
Tang San was quite disdainful of this. With an Innate Soul Power of 0.25, what good would sneaking out to cultivate every night do?
Trash was trash.
He had absolutely no chance of breaking through level thirty.
This was what Yu Xiaogang had told him.
Little did he know.
Leon's current Soul Power had already far surpassed level thirty. Even without the Soul Power boost from his new cultivation technique, Leon could still break through level thirty, and he would do it faster than Tang San.
Xiao Wu was a little displeased. She frowned and said,
"Well, if Leon isn't here, then forget it. I'll come find him to play tomorrow."
After speaking, Xiao Wu skipped away.
Tang San stood behind, watching her in a daze. He only followed Wang Sheng back to the dormitory after Wang Sheng looked at him.
As they walked, Wang Sheng asked, "Third Brother, we're about to graduate. Where are you planning to go for a high-level Soul Master academy?"
Tang San replied in a placid tone:
"Shrek."
"My teacher told me about it. It's an academy that only accepts monsters."
"Grandmaster?"
Wang Sheng was a bit speechless but didn't dare to say anything. Instead, he asked again, "What about Sister Xiao Wu and Leon? Are you all going together?"
A smile appeared on Tang San's face. "To be precise, Xiao Wu and I are going together. Leon's Innate Soul Power is too low, even lower than my teacher's."
"It's impossible for him to break through level thirty, so there's really no need for him to attend a high-level Soul Master academy. It's even more impossible for him to get into Shrek Academy, which only accepts monsters."
Tang San was actually thrilled about this matter, as he could finally shake off that bastard Leon.
Xiao Wu wouldn't see him anymore in the future.
Wang Sheng, however, looked conflicted.
"But, I don't think that's right? Leon's Soul Power level is very high now. How could he possibly not be able to break through level thirty?"
Tang San and Xiao Wu were both geniuses, their Soul Power already at level twenty-eight.
Although Leon's Soul Power had stagnated for the first two years, he had made a strong comeback in the last two. In two and a half years, he had almost caught up to the nearly five years of cultivation that Tang San and Xiao Wu had put in.
How could someone with such talent be unable to break through level thirty?
Wang Sheng didn't believe it.
Tang San sneered but said nothing.
He admitted that Leon was very hardworking.
But Leon's Innate Soul Power of 0.25 and his failed mutated Martial Soul doomed him to be trash, unless he, like Tang San himself, had the aid of a divine technique like the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
If Leon could break through level thirty Soul Power, he, Tang San, would eat his own words.
Not long after.
Leon returned, holding the little monkey. Wang Sheng wasn't asleep yet. Hearing the movement, he sat up in bed and called out confused:
"Leon?"
"How come you're back so early today?"
"Uh."
Leon returned to his own bunk, glanced at Wang Sheng, and replied:
"I don't know what happened at the academy today, but a strange golden light suddenly appeared. I was afraid it wasn't safe, so I hurried back."
"That's all, I'm going to sleep."
With that.
Leon closed his eyes. He didn't speak to Tang San.
The two of them used to be on decent terms, since they were both from Holy Spirit Village.
But things changed after they came to Nuoding Academy.
Because Tang San had taken Yu Xiaogang as his master, and Yu Xiaogang had determined that Leon was trash, harboring a strange and inexplicable dislike for him. This indirectly caused Tang San to start distancing himself from Leon as well.
Furthermore.
Because of Leon's Martial Soul, Xiao Wu liked to seek him out. With the little monkey around, Xiao Wu would ignore Tang San.
The end result was that Tang San gradually began to dislike Leon, growing more and more distant from him.
And Leon, knowing Tang San's character, couldn't be bothered with him either. Otherwise, who could withstand a set of "Mother's Embrace"—ahem, a set of hidden weapons!
In his sea of consciousness.
Leon had just gone to check the group chat and almost had a nosebleed.
What the hell?
Long, fair legs.
A chest so large you couldn't see your own toes.
This is supposed to be a proper group chat, and you guys are posting lewd pictures here?
Where are your bottom lines?
Where is your morality?
Where are the rest of the lewd pictures?
Leon adopted a critical gaze and carefully examined the contents of the group chat.
This was bad.
The system had pulled in nine people at once. Other than Bibi Dong, everyone else was using a nickname. He couldn't tell who was who.
This?
From the looks of it, for someone like him who was familiar with the plot, these names weren't too hard to guess.
Leon began to ponder.
Bibi Dong—that's just Bibi Dong.
Yan Yan—this was basically giving it away. It had to be Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
Shadow Cat—with such a signature busty picture, who else could it be but that little cat, Zhu Zhuqing?
Leon: I can tell at a glance!
Loves Eating Carrots—what normal person loves eating those things? And she wants to kill Bibi Dong to avenge her mother. It should be that rabbit, Xiao Wu.
Little Fox—this is a dead giveaway. One of the three love-struck fools of Spirit Hall, Hu Liena. Otherwise, she wouldn't keep defending Bibi Dong.
My Surname is Not Yu—you say your surname isn't Yu, so it's definitely not Yu. You came in openly attacking Bibi Dong with such great malice. Liu Erlong, that has to be you.
Seven Treasures Little Princess—judging by the identities of the current members and analyzing their importance in the plot, this person should be Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.
I Am an Orphan—this name is a bit strange. I'm an orphan myself, and I haven't said anything, yet you... first you flame Bibi Dong, then you want to defend her. Again, judging by plot importance, Qian Renxue, you sure know how to play games!
Number Nine—no name... hasn't spoken... can't guess. This one is truly impossible to guess.
[Leon: Is everyone asleep? Let's chat tomorrow then. Tomorrow morning, I will announce the rules of the group chat. Let's all work hard to build up the group, invite more friends to join, and grow our harmonious and loving big family.]
[Leon: Next time you post pictures, remember to @ me so I don't have to scroll through the chat history.]
Leon sent a message in the group, then hugged the little monkey and went to sleep, drifting off into dreamland not long after.
It had been a long time since he had rested this early. Before getting his Cheat System, he would sneak out at night and cultivate with the little monkey until the early morning before returning to sleep.
As for why he had to sneak out to cultivate, it was because Leon didn't want to expose his secret—the fact that his mutated Martial Soul, the little monkey, could cultivate.
It wasn't about keeping it a secret or anything, he purely just didn't want people to find out, and he didn't want that bastard Yu Xiaogang to know a single thing about it.
Let's not even talk about the pile of scummy things Yu Xiaogang had done.
Throughout Nuoding Academy, basically everyone knew that Leon was very hardworking. Everyone saw his efforts, and coupled with his cheerful personality from two lifetimes of experience and his social skills, no one looked down on him.
Truly, no one would mock a handsome, cheerful, and eloquent young man who was willing to put in the hard work to cultivate.
And yet.
That piece of trash, Yu Xiaogang, was the sole bastard!
