Not long after the two left, Hu Liena finished absorbing the soul bone. She opened her eyes, happily jumped off the bed: "Junior brother, I successfully fused it! This soul bone is so suitable for my martial soul."
Chu Tianxiu smiled: "Alright, senior sister, let me see the soul bone." Hu Liena obediently walked to the side. She began to circulate her soul power, and a light shone from her tailbone. The next moment, a huge fox tail emerged.
Hu Liena playfully controlled the fox tail to sway in front of Chu Tianxiu: "Junior brother, this tail also has spatial attributes!" As she spoke, the tip of the tail plunged into the void, and when it reappeared, it attacked from behind Chu Tianxiu, aiming straight for the back of his head.
However, Chu Tianxiu's perception was incredibly strong. He reached out and analyzed the fox tail, feeling its unique energy.
"Ah! Junior brother, it's sensitive!" As soon as Chu Tianxiu analyzed the fox tail, Hu Liena felt an electric current flow through her body, making her extremely aware of the soul bone's connection.
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiu released the fox tail: "Alright, senior sister, quickly get familiar with your new ability." Hu Liena obediently used her soul power to retract the tail, but this alone consumed a third of her soul power.
She slumped dizzily into Chu Tianxiu's arms, weakly asking, "Junior brother, why does it take so much more soul power to retract the fox tail than to maintain it?"
"So, senior sister, you'd better use this move only as a trump card for now." Although Chu Tianxiu was answering Hu Liena's question, his gaze remained fixed on analyzing the soul bone's properties.
She hurriedly stood up from Chu Tianxiu's embrace, her face flushed with the effort of controlling the new soul bone.
She hurriedly turned away, and said in embarrassment, "Junior brother, I need to go back and familiarize myself with the function of this soul bone, so, I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, she fled from Chu Tianxiu's dormitory.
Chu Tianxiu watched the beauty leave, and only after Hu Liena's figure completely disappeared did the corners of his mouth gradually calm down. He said to a dark corner in the dormitory, "Everyone's gone, come out." At this moment, he seemed like a cold and ruthless monarch.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure wearing a black robe and a demon mask slowly emerged from the darkness. It was the Protector Wu, whom he had sent to Notting City to help Sisi.
Chu Tianxiu spoke indifferently, "Why did you suddenly return? Did something happen in Notting City?"
Protector Wu bent down and respectfully handed over a letter with a wax seal: "My lord, this is a letter Miss Sisi asked me to give you."
Chu Tianxiu took the letter, tore off the wax seal, and began to read its contents.
It must be said, the first part was filled with her reports about Notting City and how, because of him, she had become the vice-bishop of the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall. She only needed to endure until the protagonist, Matthew, retired to take over the role.
It wasn't until Chu Tianxiu's veins bulged that he finally saw the important content.
"Little brother Tianxiu, Yu Xiaogang recently took on a disciple named Tang San. His martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and his innate soul power is level ten, just like yours. Unfortunately, it's a useless martial soul. However, Tang San also has a girl named Xiao Wu by his side. Her martial soul is Soft Bone Charming Rabbit, and her soul power is also level ten. Her talent is quite outstanding."
Chu Tianxiu smiled upon reading this. 'Tang San, just like in the original story, had indeed concealed his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul. As for Xiao Wu, as a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, it would be strange if her talent wasn't good.'
He continued reading,
"A few days ago, Yu Xiaogang took Tang San to the Soul Beast Forest around Notting City to hunt Soul Beasts. Mr. Wu and I followed them. Because you and I hunted too many Soul Beasts last time, they only found a 290-year-old snake vine flower on the third day. Although it helped Tang San successfully obtain his Soul Ring, on the way back, Yu Xiaogang was ambushed by a lone Mandragora Snake and was seriously poisoned."
Chu Tianxiu's tense nerves finally relaxed as he read to the end. With the interference of this transmigrator who was well-versed in the original novel, Tang San's first Soul Ring age was much lower than in the original work.
Chu Tianxiu's plan had already achieved its first successful step. Moreover, the Ghost Vine, which was originally Tang San's second Soul Ring in the original work, had already been hunted down by Chu Tianxiu. He was curious to see what changes Tang San's second Soul Ring would undergo. However, the fact that Yu Xiaogang was poisoned was unexpected. But with Tang San, a disciple of the Tang Sect, around, Yu Xiaogang should be out of danger.
He casually tossed the letter aside and looked at Protector Wu: "Protector Wu."
"Your subordinate is here, please give your orders, Master."
Chu Tianxiu pondered for a moment before speaking: "Take your men and monitor the Soul Beast Forest surrounding Notting City. Keep track of all the Soul Beasts suitable for the second Soul Ring age. Meanwhile, Sisi is responsible for keeping an eye on Yu Xiaogang, and you keep a close eye on Tang San. Report to me immediately if there's any disturbance."
Protector Wu respectfully replied: "Understood." The next moment, a black shadow flashed, and Protector Wu disappeared from the room.
Chu Tianxiu walked to the windowsill, looking at the gloomy sky outside, and muttered to himself: "Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, your end is near. Just wait."
At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, illuminating Chu Tianxiu standing by the window, revealing his determined face.
