Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Su Ming: Tang San's Innate Full Soul Power Has Some Caveats!
Then, Xiao Wu said, "Even though I lost to Su Ming, you still have to call me Sister Xiao Wu, got it?"
"Yes, Sister Xiao Wu!"
Although Xiao Wu was younger than all of them, her strength was undeniable, so calling her "Sister Xiao Wu" came naturally to them.
If they didn't call her that, with her temper, they might have to endure a beating. That wouldn't be worth it. Apart from Su Ming, and maybe Tang San, no one else could beat Xiao Wu!
Xiao Wu smiled, nodding in satisfaction. "Good. Since you're all calling me Sister Xiao Wu, I'll look after you from now on!"
"Yes!"
Seeing this, Su Ming couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. Xiao Wu really loved being the boss!
Su Ming then said to Xiao Wu, "I don't need to call you Sister Xiao Wu, right? After all, you didn't win against me. How are you going to look after me?"
Xiao Wu's previously joyful mood was ruined by Su Ming's words. Su Ming is just too bad! He seems so proper on the surface, but his diary writing is totally perverted!
Xiao Wu huffed, "You can just call me Xiao Wu. Just wait! One day, I'll beat you, and you'll be begging to call me Sister Xiao Wu!"
Just then, Xiao Wu noticed someone standing behind Su Ming, looking at her—it was Tang San.
At that moment, one side of Tang San's face was swollen, making him look somewhat like a half-pighead.
Even though Xiao Wu knew Tang San had been beaten by Su Ming, the broadcast had been cut off afterward. She hadn't expected Tang San's face to end up like this. He was already quite ordinary-looking, but now he was even more… indescribable!
Xiao Wu struggled to hold back her laughter, trying her best to maintain her composure. She feigned curiosity, looked at Tang San, and asked Su Ming, "Hmm, what happened to his face?"
Before Su Ming could respond, Tang San awkwardly answered, "Um… I came to Dorm Seven before you. I got hurt during my spar with Su Ming earlier, but it'll heal in a few days."
Tang San himself didn't quite understand what was going on. He seemed to have some kind of strange feeling toward this small, cute, yet a bit domineering little girl in front of him—a feeling he never had in his previous life. How odd!
[It seems I was right—Tang San has already fallen for Xiao Wu. He might not realize it now, but it's understandable given his past life as an assassin. He's probably unfamiliar with these emotions.]
[But I didn't expect this—his age from both lifetimes combined must be around forty, and yet he's fallen for this little loli at first sight. That's kind of sketchy. Still, with me here, Xiao Wu is never going to be Tang San's!]
[Honestly, though, I can't blame Tang San. I, too, like cute little girls like Xiao Wu. She's going to grow into a great beauty, and any normal person would like her.]
[Besides, all the beauties in the Douluo world are naturally attractive, unlike those stars from my previous life, most of whom relied on plastic surgery or makeup. Now that I've been reborn into this world, how could I not be moved by these beauties?]
Su Ming noticed that Tang San's eyes were still glued to Xiao Wu. He immediately stepped in between them and said with a smile to Xiao Wu, "This is Tang San. His spirit is Blue Silver Grass, and like you, he also has innate full soul power."
Xiao Wu was momentarily stunned as she looked at her diary, feeling somewhat unsettled. According to the diary, she would fall for Tang San in the future—how could that be?!
Tang San's values, his ordinary looks—why would her character in the original story fall for him? It was unimaginable, too stupid!
Then, she saw Su Ming had called her a great beauty and even said he liked her. That made her a bit happy—after all, what girl doesn't like being called pretty?
Compared to Tang San, her impression of Su Ming was growing more favorable.
Su Ming noticed Xiao Wu spacing out and asked curiously, "Xiao Wu, what's up? Why are you suddenly staring off into space?"
Xiao Wu snapped out of it and said, "Oh, nothing… I'm just shocked. Tang San's spirit is only Blue Silver Grass, yet he has innate full soul power!"
Tang San, feeling Xiao Wu's astonishment, could only scratch his head and give her a sheepish smile.
But facing Tang San's half-swollen, pig-like smile, Xiao Wu felt a bit nauseous.
At that moment, the diary updated again.
[Haha, Tang San's so-called innate full soul power isn't what it seems. There's more to it.]
Su Ming's words caught the attention of all the female leads. Could innate full soul power be something that has "caveats"? Isn't it supposed to be determined from birth?
Of course, Su Ming, with his system, was an exception—a total cheat.
[Tang San himself is a cheat. His self-cultivated Mysterious Heaven Technique is basically a hack in this world.]
The girls: "You're one to talk, Su Ming! Isn't your system even more overpowered than Tang San's?"
[I remember in the original story, there's a scene where Tang San spent his childhood training alone on the back mountain, cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique from his previous life. But just before he was set to awaken his spirit, he hit a bottleneck.]
[That bottleneck was the first level of the Mysterious Heaven Technique. No matter how hard he trained, he couldn't break through to the second level until he awakened his spirit. After he absorbed his first soul ring, his Mysterious Heaven Technique immediately broke through to the second level, and his soul power jumped to level thirteen when he registered at Spirit Hall.]
[According to one of the ten core theories, the 'Bottleneck and Cultivation Theory,' when a Soul Master reaches the peak of a major realm, even without a soul ring, they can still cultivate as normal. The soul power gained during that time will manifest once they obtain a soul ring!]
[This theory is accurate, which means Tang San's innate full soul power came from cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique. Otherwise, how did his soul power increase after absorbing the soul ring?]
[Furthermore, the Mandala Snake's four-hundred-year soul ring could at most boost Tang San's power by two levels, but he advanced three. This was because Tang San didn't give up training even after his Mysterious Heaven Technique hit a bottleneck.]
Not only Xiao Wu, but also Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other girls were shocked by Su Ming's analysis.
They had never known that innate soul power could be cultivated!
In their understanding, innate soul power was fixed at birth, based on the quality of one's spirit. The higher the spirit's quality, the higher the innate soul power. But now, there was an exception!
This Mysterious Heaven Technique that Tang San possessed was a god-tier cheat!
