Time flies, and more than a year has passed since he arrived in Notting City.
Ye Qiu, sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes and picked up Xiao Wu's small mirror beside him.
"Finally... finally, two tomoe!" Ye Qiu couldn't suppress a smile, marveling at the effectiveness of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Purple Demon Eye.
His Sharingan had evolved again; his soul power had increased from level 6 to level 8, and his cultivation speed had reached the level of innate soul power level 7.
His cultivation speed would only increase further.
He glanced at the still-sleeping Xiao Wu, then at Tang San's empty bed.
Ye Qiu tied the black silk ribbon back up and quickly got up. He couldn't miss the purple aura of the morning; it could greatly improve the cultivation speed of the Purple Demon Eye.
For the past year, he had lived a fulfilling life.
When the sun rose, after Tang San left, he would also leave, secretly cultivating the Purple Demon Eye. He
listened attentively to classes in the morning; without a good teacher, he could only listen carefully, as he still lacked knowledge about the ways of soul masters.
He wasn't worried about spirit beasts; with a 100,000-year-old spirit beast by his side, he could consult with it from time to time and benefit greatly.
In the afternoon, he became a carving apprentice. With the blessing of his Sharingan, his carvings had already gained some fame, and he even had his own small studio.
In the evening, he would either cultivate diligently or spend time with Xiao Wu, or spar with her.
Since the day Tang San obtained his spirit ring, and after Xiao Wu and Tang San defeated Xiao Chenyu's group, Xiao Wu had become the big sister of Notting Academy!
To allow Ye Qiu to spend more time with her, he also delegated some of his work at the academy to others.
Passing by Xiao Wu's bedside, he straightened the blankets she had kicked off.
Going outside, he found his usual spot on a treetop, first using his Sharingan to scan the surroundings and make sure no one was around before beginning his cultivation.
As the sun rose, wisps of purple aura surged forth from the east.
Lifting the black sash over his eyes, his black pupils turned blood-red, and the two black tomoe slowly rotated, the black pupil between them shimmering with purple.
Perhaps influenced by the Purple Demon Eye, when he activated his Sharingan, the black pupil between the tomoe also turned purple, and he even gained X-ray vision when concentrating!
Ye Qiu could only attribute this change to a mutation in his martial soul. As for whether this mutation was good or bad...
well, there were quite a few advantages, except that he became increasingly unconventional. It was best not to reveal this ability, as it could easily lead to misunderstandings.
The purple aura was short-lived, and Ye Qiu quickly finished his cultivation. When he returned, Xiao Wu was already up.
"Xiao Qiu~" Just as he opened the dormitory door, a delicate body rushed towards him, bumping into him. "Xiao
Wu, how many times have I told you, girls should be more reserved!" Ye Qiu helplessly tried to push her away.
"Okay, okay."
"..." Ye Qiu looked at her speechlessly. She was a woman of few words; she said "okay," but hugged him even tighter.
"Oh, Xiao San, you're back too." Xiao Wu looked at Tang San at the door and released Ye Qiu.
"Good morning, Xiao Wu!" Tang San smiled and waved to Xiao Wu. "And... Ye Qiu."
Looking at Ye Qiu, Tang San's expression stiffened and became unnatural; he was already showing signs of considering Ye Qiu a rival.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu didn't care much. Ever since copying Tang San's techniques, he had anticipated that once exposed, it would be a fight to the death.
The sect's ideology was deeply ingrained in Tang San.
However, as a classmate and roommate, Ye Qiu was always polite to him, nodding to show respect.
"You're back just in time! Let's go to class together." Xiao Wu took Ye Qiu's hand, ready to leave.
"No! I have something to do." Ye Qiu smiled apologetically and withdrew his hand to refuse.

"What's wrong with you again?" Ye Qiu stomped her foot angrily, displeased with Ye Qiu's behavior; he didn't even spend more time with her.
"Ye Qiu, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Maybe I can help!" The polite Tang San Shao's eyes lit up! He also extended a helping hand to Ye Qiu.
"If you can help, of course I'd be happy to, but cultivation is ultimately a personal matter." Ye Qiu's face fell, his brows furrowed, and worry arose. He continued, "You guys are almost at level 20, and I haven't even reached level 10 yet. Of course, I have to work twice as hard to cultivate."
"Sister Xiao Wu can protect you!" Xiao Wu said.
Ye Qiu was unmoved by the silly rabbit's words, but Tang San's words almost made him freeze.
"I can protect you with Xiao Wu," Tang San's voice grew softer and softer, and he himself became uncertain.
Ye Qiu thought to himself, "Good heavens, when did Tang San start having such thoughts?
" "No need to say more, you guys go to class!" He turned and waved, walking away skillfully.
In fact, Ye Qiu said these kinds of things every month or so, constantly exposing his weaknesses.
His purpose was simply to reassure Tang San that he wasn't good enough for Xiao Wu, but he still had a chance;
and to reassure Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, that he wasn't good enough for a 100,000-year spirit ring and had no competitive edge compared to his son. Surely
they, father and son, couldn't even tolerate a 'trash' less than level ten?
Ye Qiu's figure slowly receded into the distance
. Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu, and Tang San looked at Xiao Wu.
The timing of Tang San's realization of his feelings was completely different from the original story; perhaps this was the so-called "the unattainable is always alluring."
After more than a year together, Tang San felt that Xiao Wu was the one he could protect for life.
He didn't understand why Xiao Wu was always clinging to Ye Qiu, who was so ordinary yet so confident, and why he was so much better than Ye Qiu.
However, he wouldn't give up. With Ye Qiu's talent, the gap between him and Xiao Wu would only widen.
Having figured all this out, Tang San suddenly felt his soul power was about to break through. If Ye Qiu knew, he would definitely exclaim, "No wonder he's the protagonist!
" "Xiao Wu, let's go to class!" Tang San's words brought Xiao Wu back to her senses.
"Okay, let's go! Let's ignore that guy."
"Ah? Okay, okay."
Hearing this, Tang San was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, quickly following her steps, walking side by side. Looking at Xiao Wu's profile, an awkward smile appeared on his face, which was somewhat dark from years of blacksmithing.
Completely unaware, 'ignore him' was just Xiao Wu's catchphrase towards Ye Qiu; she couldn't help but cling to him whenever she saw him.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu, who had already left Notting Academy, was on the street, heading towards a ore shop.
'That silly rabbit is really naive. If her identity is exposed, it's hard to say who will protect whom!'
Ye Qiu smiled wryly, feeling immense pressure. Even at level eight, he needed to prepare for his first ring.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at their destination and stood beside the shopkeeper who was unloading goods.
"Boss, do you have the saltpeter I asked for last time?"
"Hmm? It's you, young man! Yes, yes, come with me." He still remembered Ye Qiu, this strange customer, and had initially misunderstood him, thinking Ye Qiu was blind.
After all, who in their right mind would bind their eyes with black silk?
Ye Qiu: I'm a decent person, it's just that these eyes aren't decent eyes.
