Chapter 31: Long Time No See

Chapter 31: Long Time No See

As soon as Wang Si stepped out of the dormitory, he was greeted by a fist coming straight at him.

His body reacted instinctively, and he lifted his hand to meet the punch.

"Wow, after not seeing you for two months, your bones have gotten much harder!"

Yu Tianheng rubbed his wrist, exhaled, and greeted Wang Si with a smile.

Placing his hand on Wang Si's shoulder, Yu Tianheng also noticed the young girl standing behind him.

He glanced at the girl, then at Wang Si, and then shot a look into the room.

Yu Tianheng couldn't help but throw a few playful punches at Wang Si's body and then pulled him aside.

"Who is that? A relative of yours? Or..."

Yu Tianheng winked and made faces at Wang Si, his facial expressions incredibly rich and playful.

"She's a personal maid assigned to me by the First Prince. She hasn't been to the Royal Academy before, so I thought of bringing her here to have a look."

Hearing the first part of Wang Si's sentence, Yu Tianheng's eyes lit up, causing him to completely ignore the latter part.

"Personal maid? Do you mean the kind of 'personal' I'm thinking of? Have you guys done 'that' already? What does it feel like..."

Seeing Yu Tianheng's chatty and curious demeanor, Wang Si pressed down on his head and covered his mouth.

"Xue'er, go ahead and explore the academy. If you can find your way to the classroom, go there first."

As if remembering something, Wang Si took out a jade pendant from his soul guide and tossed it to Qian Renxue.

"Wear this while you're in the academy. It will prevent unwanted trouble."

This was a token given to him by Xue Qinghua, symbolizing the crown prince's identity.

There were still a few people in this academy who knew him, and even if they didn't, wouldn't they recognize Yu Tianheng?

Qian Renxue took the token and hung it at her waist, then waved at Wang Si.

Wang Si waved back at Qian Renxue and, at the same time, pressed down on Yu Tianheng's head as they walked toward the training field.

"Hey, Wang Si, where are you taking me? Aren't you going to introduce me to your maid? Are you afraid I'll steal her from you?"

Yu Tianheng continued to struggle and turned his head to glance back at the girl.

Wang Si just kept his hand on Yu Tianheng's head and walked forward with a dark expression.

"Wang Si, where are you taking me? Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid I'll snatch your personal maid away?"

Wang Si kicked Yu Tianheng's buttocks in annoyance.

"After not seeing you for two months, I've discovered that you've become quite a chatterbox. Fortunately, my spirit soul has awakened, so let me test your strength!"

Hearing that Wang Si's spirit soul had awakened, Yu Tianheng's eyes lit up.

"Your spirit soul has truly awakened? What is it? Quick, bring it out so I can have a look!"

"Rest assured, you'll see it very soon."

Wang Si smiled lightly, and Yu Tianheng's eyes sparkled with excitement at his words.

"Then let's have a good fight. I've also learned a new skill these past two months!"

.................

"Tianheng, you lost because you relied too much on that skill that converts soul power into lightning. That skill consumes too much of your own soul power.

Wang Si is smart. He dodged during the period of rapid soul power consumption, and that's how you lost."

Qin Ming looked at Yu Tianheng, who was holding his nose with tears in his eyes, and announced the result of the fight he had happened to witness.

Yu Tianheng held his nose and took a few deep breaths. He then shot a resentful glance at Wang Si, who looked embarrassed at the moment.

"You said we'd have a man-to-man fight, but you played dirty. I won't fight you again!"

Hearing Yu Tianheng's words, Wang Si curled his lips.

"You still have the nerve to say that? Your spirit soul is a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. When we fought, you not only used spirit soul fusion but even dragon transformation! If I didn't dodge, would you have torn me to shreds?"

Seeing that Yu Tianheng's right hand was still emitting lightning, Wang Si couldn't help but retort.

Hearing Wang Si's explanation, Yu Tianheng finally realized something. The person in front of him was not like those of the same age or older in the family who shared the same spirit soul as him.

He could use dragon transformation and even manipulate lightning power freely against them without holding back.

But he couldn't do that with Wang Si.

Two months ago, Wang Si was just an ordinary person with soul power but no spirit soul. Although he had accidentally awakened his spirit soul now, Yu Tianheng had once joked that Wang Si's spirit soul was his bones, and surprisingly, it turned out to be true.

Although this further increased Wang Si's hardness, it was still a bit difficult when faced with a top-tier beast spirit soul like his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Although... his spirit soul had crushed Wang Si's.

But he had lost this fight!

It was so frustrating. If he had known, he wouldn't have shown off his skill!

He looked around and was relieved to see that there weren't many people around.

Shaking his head at Wang Si's question, Qin Ming continued to study him with a curious expression.

"Is your spirit soul really just bones? Didn't it manifest any other abilities when it awakened?"

Wang Si scratched his nose awkwardly upon hearing Qin Ming's words.

After confirming that Wang Si's spirit soul held no other traits, Qin Ming sighed quietly.

"Although your spirit soul makes your bones exceptionally hard, you currently lack the strength to match it. If you had sufficient power, you could still exhibit formidable combat prowess."

To be honest, Qin Ming was a little disappointed in Wang Si's newly awakened spirit soul, but he still offered some advice.

"If possible, I'd like you to have an offensive soul skill. Your spirit soul is internal, and having hard bones won't help if your opponents don't even need to strike them to incapacitate you."

"Yu Tianheng's lack of combat experience worked in your favor. If someone more seasoned had his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit soul, they could tear you to pieces in minutes."

Upon hearing Qin Ming's critique, Yu Tianheng, who had been feeling a bit dejected after his loss, suddenly understood.

"That's right! Why did I insist on a direct confrontation? As for Teacher Qin's revelation, Wang Si, you knew your weakness too, didn't you? That's why you fought me to prevent me from discovering it." Yu Tianheng said with a mischievous smile, finally understanding Wang Si's strategy.

"Teacher Qin, I've been looking all over for you!"

Just as Qin Ming was analyzing Wang Si and Yu Tianheng's fight, a teacher dressed in the School Committee uniform rushed over.

"What's the matter? Is there an emergency? Why are you in such a hurry?" Qin Ming asked, a bit surprised by the teacher's abrupt appearance and rushed manner.

"Teacher Qin, the School Committee has an urgent matter they need to discuss with you. Come quickly, or you'll be late," the School Committee member urged, tugging at Qin Ming's arm and pulling him along toward the committee building without further ado.

Yu Tianheng watched this interaction with a bemused expression, scratching his head. Soon, he turned to Wang Si.

"Wang Si, let's have another match once I've rested." Yu Tianheng grinned mischievously, seemingly intending to take Qin Ming's advice and figure out a strategy to counter Wang Si's unique spirit soul.

Wang Si rolled his eyes in response, unmoved by Yu Tianheng's enthusiasm.

"Don't count on it. I won't be giving you another chance," Wang Si retorted as he walked away from the training field.

"Hey, Wang Si, wait up! Although your spirit soul isn't that impressive, if you were to face a brute who only knew how to fight without analyzing weaknesses, you'd still be very strong," Yu Tianheng called after him, trying to offer some consolation.

As he spoke, Yu Tianheng realized something felt off about his own words, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it at that moment. Nonetheless, he followed eagerly behind Wang Si.

Hearing yet another person dismiss his spirit soul, Wang Si's brows furrowed in annoyance.

His spirit soul's unique trait had actually manifested quite early on: the ability to adapt to external energies and develop resistance, as well as absorb the energies contained within others' soul powers to gain new resistances.

Initially, he had gained elemental resistance from the tempering in the Mimic Cultivation Arena.

After that, by absorbing the soul power of the Porcupine Douluo, he acquired the ability to absorb toxins.

And later, by absorbing Qiandao Liu's soul power, he obtained the Six-Winged Angel's unique Solar Power.

However, Qiandao Liu had hidden this Solar Power in a different location within his body, leading Wang Si to realize that he shouldn't casually absorb others' soul powers, as it could potentially be discovered.

Otherwise, when Bibi Dong probed him with her soul power, he would have liked to retain a portion of it within his body to see if he could acquire the power of the Asura God.

But he estimated that if he had truly absorbed it, not only Bibi Dong but also the Asura God in the Divine Realm might have noticed him.

Although the game system hadn't explicitly stated it, Wang Si had a strong premonition: at this stage, he must not attempt to come into contact with the power of a "God."

Despite this warning, Wang Si still felt that he should absorb a soul bone to gain an offensive skill, as Teacher Qin's words rang true.

Currently, he possessed two soul bones, both for his left arm. One was a forty-year soul bone given by the system, with the skill "Shockwave."

The other was a six-hundred-year soul bone with the skills "Dragon Transformation" and "Rending."

Ideally, Wang Si would have liked to absorb both soul bones, but unfortunately, they occupied the same slot.

Such a simple choice was an easy one for Wang Si to make...
