Tang San pointed at his nose with a look of utter bewilderment.
Wait, why is the fire suddenly directed at me?
Who did I offend?
Seeing Lin Yuan's deep eyes turn toward him, Tang San felt his scalp go numb.
You've got to be kidding me!
He was currently just a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Scholar, without even a spirit ring.
How could he fight that freak who held a lethal weapon with a spirit ring?
This Blue Silver Grass would probably shatter into pieces before it even touched the tip of the spear, wouldn't it?
Tang San took a deep breath, showing a standard "honest man" smile, and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Brother Lin's strength is extraordinary; I, Tang San, am ashamed of my inferiority."
"The position of dorm leader belongs to Brother Lin by right."
Lin Yuan retracted his Spirit and nonchalantly clapped his hands.
"Since none of you have any objections, then it's settled."
"From now on, I have the final say in Dorm Seven."
Immediately after, someone came over to deliver bedding to Tang San.
This time, unlike in the original work, Xiao Wu didn't plan on sharing a blanket with Tang San.
And as for letting her share with Lin Yuan?
She didn't quite dare to do that either.
Thus, she planned to wait until she condensed her first spirit ring, then go to the Spirit Hall to collect her stipend and buy her own!
The turmoil in Dorm Seven subsided for the time being.
Under Wang Sheng's eager guidance, the group marched grandly toward the cafeteria.
Xiao Wu walked in the middle of the group, her eyes drifting toward Lin Yuan from time to time.
She didn't dare get too close, but she was also unwilling to stay too far away.
A very strange intuition told her that staying by this "Devil King's" side caused the spirit power circulation in her body to be ten percent faster than usual!
Perhaps this was why a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast transformation required contact with humans to improve?
Both Lin Yuan and Tang San possessed Innate Full Spirit Power, but she could clearly sense the difference between the two.
"Hmph, considering he can help this lady Cultivate, that matter of him taking advantage of me just now... I'll record it in my little notebook for now!"
Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks, silently comforting herself in her heart.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan was walking nonchalantly on the surface, but in reality, he was communicating with the System.
Taking advantage of the contact with Xiao Wu just now, he had quietly activated the Binding function.
[System, Binding Xiao Wu.]
[Ding, congratulations Host on a correct Binding; Xiao Wu does indeed possess a diary instance.]
[Randomly extracting one talent from her: Teleportation.]
[The Teleportation talent has now been integrated into the Host's Heavy Pupils talent.]
[Since the Teleportation talent involves some spatial abilities, the Host's spatial control ability has slightly improved.]
Lin Yuan's footsteps paused slightly, a flash of joy appearing in the depths of his eyes.
Teleportation!
This was one of Xiao Wu's most core and practical talent skills!
Although there was a distance limit, it was practically an unbeatable divine skill in close-quarters combat!
With just a thought, he could teleport a distance away.
This was equivalent to turning Xiao Wu's Teleportation talent into his own Self-created Spirit Ability.
Although with the level of the Heavy Pupils, if he increased his Rank and control later and actively developed it...
He could also develop it himself.
But for him, who had just undergone his Awakening as a Spirit Master, it would certainly be quite difficult.
And he certainly wouldn't be as foolish as Feng Xiaotian in the early stages, wasting time developing a Self-created Spirit Ability; he would definitely focus on increasing his own spirit power.
But now, the System had directly saved him this step.
...
At the same time.
In various corners of the Douluo Continent, those women holding diary instances had different thoughts at this moment.
Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at the sentence in the diary, [Xiao Wu was used to being the big boss in the Star Dou Great Forest], her purple eyes narrowing slightly, flashing with a dangerous light.
"The big boss of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"And she's six years old like Lin Yuan, just enrolled?"
"No pedophilia... that means the other party is in human form, and is a little girl?"
Linking these keywords together, a startling hypothesis formed in Bibi Dong's mind.
"A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast transformation!"
Besides this, there was no other explanation!
Bibi Dong's memory was instantly pulled back to a few years ago.
That day, she had led the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos deep into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt that Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bones Rabbit.
At that time, that already-transformed rabbit had chosen to Sacrifice itself to protect something.
And in the chaos, a small rabbit seemed to have taken the opportunity to slip away.
"A fish that escaped the net?"
A cold smile curled at the corners of Bibi Dong's mouth.
"Truly, one can search far and wide only to find it by chance without any effort."
"I originally thought you had escaped, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my door."
However, Bibi Dong soon frowned.
Because she remembered the rules of the diary instance: one cannot harm a diary instance owner.
And this Xiao Wu, did she possess a diary instance?
The other female characters who possessed diary instances also felt moved after judging that Xiao Wu might be a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast transformation.
But like Bibi Dong, they were all thinking about how to determine if Xiao Wu also had a diary instance.
To know this, perhaps they could only wait a little longer.
However, Xiao Wu also discovered that her identity might have been exposed, but she wasn't panicked at all.
As long as Lin Yuan didn't make a move against her, those diary instance owners, constrained by the rules, would be unable to touch her.
...
Nuoding Academy cafeteria.
It was currently mealtime, and the cafeteria was bustling with people.
Lin Yuan led the people from Dorm Seven through the main door, and a wave of heat mixed with the aroma of food and the smell of sweat rushed toward them.
He glanced at the windows on the first floor.
Steamed buns, pickles, and congee.
Meat dishes were pitifully few; the occasional few pieces of meat seen were the kind of ordinary chicken that obviously lacked oil.
"That's it?"
Lin Yuan frowned.
Spirit Master Cultivation requires a large amount of energy replenishment, especially for someone with a powerful physique like him; how could eating just steamed buns and pickles be enough?
"Let's go, to the second floor."
Lin Yuan lifted his foot and headed toward the stairs.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng behind him quickly pulled him back, reminding him nervously: "Boss! Don't go there!"
"Although the food on the second floor is good, it's incredibly expensive!"
"A single meal costs quite a few bronze coins, or even silver coins; it's simply not something we Work-Study Studentss can afford!"
"Let's just make do on the first floor."
Lin Yuan stopped, looked back at Wang Sheng, and spoke in a flat tone: "It's fine, I still have this much money."
"I want to go up and see what kind of fancy things this Nuoding Academy's second-floor cafeteria can produce."
Wang Sheng and the others were slightly stunned; while envious, they also thought that since Lin Yuan already had a first spirit ring, he might have already collected his stipend from the Spirit Hall.
A one-ring Spirit Master can collect one gold coin every month!
Eating on the second floor every day wouldn't be a problem!
How could they know that Lin Yuan possessed the System, and when he opened the Newbie Gift Pack, it had given him a thousand gold coins, so he wasn't short on money for now.
Just then.
A slightly raspy middle-aged male voice suddenly came from the side.
"Little San?"
Everyone turned to look.
They saw a middle-aged man with a buzz cut, a face full of stubble, and a somewhat decadent appearance walking over.
He had his hands behind his back, his eyes revealing a self-righteous depth.
It was the one known as "Invincible in Theory," the Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Tang San immediately bowed respectfully:
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, a stiff smile appearing on his face:
"I came here to eat."
"I happened to see you; do you want to go to the second floor to eat with me?"
This was a good opportunity to win over his Disciple, and also a moment to display his "financial strength" and "care" as a teacher.
Furthermore, he was curious about what Tang San's second Spirit actually was.
The Innate spirit power provided by Blue Silver Grass does not exceed Rank 1, which meant Tang San's second Spirit must be a top-tier Spirit, and its Innate spirit power must be above Rank 9 for him to possess Innate Full Spirit Power!
