Chapter 30 Xiao Xiao breaks through level 20 ahead of schedule! Dai Huabin plans a new path for his martial soul
That morning, the white school uniform worn by Xiao Xiao, a first-year student, looked particularly good on her.
She rushed into Class 9 like a cheerful little bird, her face flushed with excitement.
"Class monitor! Class monitor! I've broken through! Level 20! I've finally reached level 20!" Xiao Xiao's voice rang out from the back of the classroom.
Dai Huabin, who was looking through the Soul Beast Encyclopedia, closed the book, carefully examined the soul power fluctuations around Xiao Xiao, and clapped his hands in satisfaction.
This is more than a month earlier than the time when Xiao Xiao obtained her second soul ring in the original novel.
The pills and whale glue that Ning Tian gave us did indeed play a significant role.
Wang Dong'er and Cui Yajie immediately surrounded them.
"That's great, Xiao Xiao!" Wang Dong'er took Xiao Xiao's little hand.
Over the course of the past month, Wang Dong'er's soul power has reached the peak of level twenty-one, just one step away from level twenty-two.
With the nourishment of resources, Cui Yajie's Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul became increasingly solid, steadily reaching the threshold of level 25.
"Now that we've reached level 20, let's not delay any longer." Dai Huabin stood up and pulled Zhu Lu aside. "Come on, let's go find Teacher Mu Jin to get a leave slip. Let's leave today."
Inside the office, after hearing the five people's purpose, Mu Jin flipped through the teaching plan on the table.
"Are the five of you going to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest?" Mu Jin looked at the impressive lineup of new students before her and couldn't help but give them a word of advice.
Dai Huabin rested his hands on the desk.
"The hundred-year-old soul beasts on the outskirts pose no real threat to me, a Soul Master."
"This opportunity to hunt for spirit rings will allow the three of them to practice their tactical coordination for the freshman assessment."
Mu Jin pondered for a moment.
With a level 33 offensive Soul Master leading the team, plus a level 26 agile attack Soul Master, this configuration could even put up a fight against ordinary thousand-year-old Soul Beasts.
Moreover, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu also possess that terrifying Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
"Okay, I'll approve the note for you."
Mu Jin took out a leave slip from the drawer, quickly wrote her name on it, and handed it to Dai Huabin.
"But let me make it clear beforehand that you are absolutely not allowed to venture into the mixed zone. The Star Dou Great Forest is ever-changing. If you encounter a danger that you cannot resolve, send a signal for help immediately."
"clear."
Dai Huabin put away the leave slip and led the four girls out of the office building.
The main gate of Shrek Academy.
All five of them changed into comfortable, action-oriented clothing.
Zhu Lu wore a black leather bodysuit that perfectly accentuated her slender, agile figure.
Wang Dong'er, dressed in a neat light blue combat suit, crossed her arms and looked eager to try.
Dai Huabin glanced back at the gate of Shrek Academy, then turned to look at the four people behind him.
"There is only one purpose for this trip: to help Xiao Xiao obtain the most suitable hundred-year soul ring for the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron."
Dai Huabin's tone was calm, yet it exuded a confident air of control over the entire room.
"Dong'er, Ya Jie, this battle will be mainly led by the three of you. Lulu and I will only be responsible for supporting and covering the rear."
"Tch, don't look down on me. I can handle this all by myself!"
Wang Dong'er hummed twice.
Dai Huabin ignored her stubbornness, waved his hand, and the five of them left Shrek Academy, heading south along the wide trade route.
Wang Dong'er walked at the front of the group, holding a wild grass she had picked from the roadside.
She skipped and hopped along, occasionally poking at small flying insects by the roadside with wild grass.
Cui Yajie walked in the middle, arm in arm with Xiao Xiao. The two whispered to each other, talking about something that girls usually discuss.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were at the back of the line, maintaining a leisurely pace.
"Xiao Xiao, in which direction do you intend to develop your Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron?"
Dai Huabin suddenly spoke, breaking the tranquility of the journey.
The three people in front of them all stopped in their tracks.
Xiao Xiao turned around, clutching the storage ring Ning Tian had given her, her tone somewhat hesitant.
"I originally planned to study control engineering."
She bit her lower lip and added, "However, if the class monitor has a better suggestion, I'm willing to listen to the class monitor."
Wang Dong'er dropped the weeds she was holding and came over.
"The control system is pretty good. You can hide in the back and throw black cauldrons at people, and if you encounter danger, you can use the cauldrons to block it. It's very safe."
Dai Huabin raised his hand and tapped Wang Dong'er on the forehead with his finger.
"What do you know? This is a waste of resources."
Wang Dong'er covered her forehead and angrily clenched her fist.
Dai Huabin turned to Xiao Xiao, his tone serious.
"Your martial spirit is a cauldron. A cauldron is inherently a symbol of weight and suppression."
"Instead of going through all those fancy controls, let's just push the weight and defense to the extreme."
"Imagine the three tripods combined into one; the weight would be terrifying."
Dai Huabin held up three fingers and gestured.
"The sheer force of the impact of the three cauldrons combined, along with its inherent absolute defense, is enough to crush the vast majority of opponents of the same level."
"This simple and direct approach can achieve the same effect as your first soul skill, Cauldron Shock, and may even be more powerful."
"This way, you can save your precious soul skill slots and use them to stack more extreme weight and defensive attributes."
Upon hearing this, Cui Yajie clapped her hands together sharply.
"Exactly! When we encounter an enemy, we can just move an iron mountain and smash it down. What need is there for control?"
"Strength can overcome technique; just smash it flat!"
Xiao Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
"Squad leader, I'll listen to you."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it conveyed a sense of trust.
Among these five people, Dai Huabin's voice has long been the undisputed authority.
Dai Huabin continued to press for answers.
"What about your second martial soul? What are your plans for the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute?"
Xiao Xiao answered very decisively this time.
"I want to go for a pure support role."
Dai Huabin sighed and raised his hand to rub his temples.
"Xiao Xiao, you have twin martial souls."
"You have the top-tier talent that others dream of, but you insist on taking the most mediocre path?"
"The first martial soul goes to the front to tank damage, while the second martial soul hides in the back playing the flute and providing support?"
"Are you able to manage?"
Wang Dong'er burst out laughing.
"The imagery is so vivid. Xiao Xiao is getting beaten up while her head is covered in a huge black cauldron, and she's pouting and playing the flute. Isn't she going to suffocate herself?"
Xiao Xiao blushed and reached out to tickle Wang Dong'er's ticklish spot.
"Dong'er! You're talking nonsense!"
The two girls were having a big fuss on the road.
Dai Huabin waved his hand, stopping the two from fighting.
"Don't rush to attach any spirit rings to your second spirit."
"I will find a way to help you find a spirit-type soul beast in the future."
"Since it's a musical instrument, it can be used to attack through sound waves."
Dai Huabin explained his concept in detail.
"Spiritual attacks combined with sonic attacks are ubiquitous and impossible to defend against."
"Most importantly, this way you can use both of your martial souls perfectly at the same time."
"With the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron pressing down like Mount Tai, and with the Nine Phoenixes Arriving Flute, use sound waves to destroy the opponent's spirit."
"Of course, more importantly, with the improvement of mental strength, operating the three cauldrons will be much easier."
These words silenced all three girls.
Wang Dong'er opened her mouth, but after a long pause, she managed to utter, "You do have some knowledge."
Zhu Lu followed quietly behind Dai Huabin.
This advanced and precise theory of martial spirits deepened her admiration even further.
"Squad leader!"
Xiao Xiao clenched her fists, her face flushed slightly with excitement.
"I've got it. Thank you, class monitor!"
Dai Huabin nodded in satisfaction.
When he read the original novel, he couldn't understand why Xiao Xiao's Nine Phoenixes Come to Awaken the Flute Martial Soul would have some kind of slowing-down soul skill.
It's really frustrating that a support martial soul can't assist teammates.
In Dai Huabin's view, sonic attacks are the right direction.
Fortunately, he has finally changed the terrible development path of Xiao Xiao's martial soul in the original work.
