While collecting the gold hair, Xiao Wu felt that picking them up one by one was a bit slow. Remembering what Yu Yan had said about the gold hair's characteristics, she had a sudden inspiration. After her Martial Soul Possession, she activated her Second Spirit Ability.
Bright Moonlight Energy surrounded Xiao Wu, flowing through the room as she waved her hands. The gold filaments scattered on the floor straightened within the Moonlight Energy, circulating within that shimmer of moonlight before finally all floating around Xiao Wu.
The cold, bright moonlight and the countless shimmering gold filaments complemented each other around Xiao Wu, making her look somewhat like an otherworldly expert.
"This is much faster."
With a wave of her small hand, Xiao Wu placed all the gold hair into the box.
"Moonlight Energy can also control these gold hairs. From the look of it, Xiao Wu, you seem better suited to use the gold hair as a weapon than I am."
Yu Yan couldn't achieve remote control of the gold hair like Xiao Wu could, and the gold hair indeed needed to be used remotely to exert its best effect.
Those who want to master the gold hair cannot unleash its true power.
Those who find the gold hair vicious and have no favorable impression of it, however, can unleash its true power.
This is truly the unpredictability of the world.
"Mhm, based on the results, that is indeed the case."
Recalling the scene of controlling the gold hair just now, Xiao Wu nodded gently, her mood somewhat complex.
She had just said this weapon was vicious, only to turn around and find she was the person best suited for it; it would be strange if Xiao Wu's mood wasn't complex.
"Don't think about all that nonsense. Instead, think about what name to give this weapon."
Facing Xiao Wu's somewhat complex expression, Yu Yan found an excuse to try and divert her attention.
Among the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons, the gold hair was called the Dragon Beard Needle. Yu Yan didn't plan on using that name; he wasn't a member of the Tang Sect, so there was no need to keep calling it the Dragon Beard Needle. It was his freedom to name his own weapon.
"A name... that really does need some thought. The name 'gold hair' sounds a bit strange." Xiao Wu pondered for a moment and came up with a name she thought was good: "How about calling it Golden Rainbow Silk?"
For Golden Rainbow Silk, 'Golden' represents the gold hair, 'Rainbow' represents the weapon's speed being like light and electricity, and'Silk' represents its thread-like state when deployed.
Yu Yan could naturally think of what Xiao Wu could think of. To ensure Xiao Wu wouldn't have any psychological burden using it in the future, he quickly nodded and said, "That is indeed a good name. Let's call it Golden Rainbow Silk."
After resolving the most important matter of the plank crystal gold filaments, Yu Yan lay on the bed, considering whether or not to go see Shrek Academy.
Before coming here, out of curiosity, Yu Yan had planned to go take a look.
But after actually arriving here, he felt hesitant due to various issues.
Given Shrek Academy's messy style of doing things, he was a bit worried that getting close would attract unnecessary trouble.
After sitting in the courtyard and thinking for a long time, Yu Yan finally gave up on the idea of visiting that old, broken, and small Shrek Academy.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall; there was no need to place himself in potential danger just for a bit of curiosity.
Better to leave here as soon as possible.
There were still many important things to do, and no need to waste precious time here... The next morning, after putting their luggage into the storage soul tool necklace, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu finally managed to walk around without carrying luggage on their backs.
Leaving Suotuo City was a temporary decision. Yu Yan planned to say goodbye to Yu Qingfeng and his wife, who were recovering from their injuries in Suotuo City, before leaving. The farewell he hadn't said in Balak City because they weren't there could now be done in Suotuo City.
Since they weren't in a hurry for the moment, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu strolled past various stalls in Suotuo City while heading toward the place where Yu Qingfeng and his wife were recuperating.
"Boss Dai, Boss Dai, look over there! There's a super beautiful little girl, even prettier than the women you took me to see last night, hehehe..."
In front of a book stall, where Yu Yan and Xiao Wu were looking for interesting books, they felt several gazes fall upon them, followed by an extremely frivolous voice.
Yu Yan frowned and looked toward the source of the voice, seeing three guys who looked somewhat familiar.
The person standing in the middle was about 1.6 meters tall, the tallest of the three. His blonde hair was draped over his back, his eyes were sinister, and he was born with double pupils. There was a natural arrogance and nobility in his deep blue eyes.
The person on the left was thin and weak, wearing simple grey clothes with neat, short grey hair. His handsome face, combined with those peach blossom eyes that looked affectionately at everyone, gave off the vibe of a dissolute Young Master.
The person on the right was a short, stout Little Fatty with red hair styled into a mohawk. He was staring at Xiao Wu with lecherous eyes.
With such peculiar appearances, plus the Little Fatty calling the other "Boss Dai" just now, how could Yu Yan not understand their identities?
Dai Mubai, who had fled here in disgrace from the Star Luo Empire to play the coward.
Ma Hongjun, who had loved visiting brothels since he was a child and was wretched and lecherous.
And Oscar, who had few negative reviews but still had many minor issues.
These three were not yet very old. Based on the timeline, Dai Mubai should be 10, Oscar 9, and Ma Hongjun 7.
In the original book, on the way to the Star Dou Great Forest for the first time, the conflict between Shrek Academy and Canghui Academy was because of Ma Hongjun's foul language toward the girls from Canghui Academy. It was the same now.
Though they weren't old, they exuded a wretched aura. Even from a distance, Yu Yan could smell the scent on them that only appeared after having done those things.
Sometimes, having senses that were too powerful really wasn't a good thing.
"Hmph!"
"If you don't want those eyes, I can help you pluck them out."
Seeing the three's undisguised gazes, Yu Yan stood in front of Xiao Wu. No boy could tolerate such a thing, and Yu Yan was no exception.
If this weren't a street in Suotuo City where fighting was prohibited, Yu Yan would have summoned the Profound Ice Chain long ago to let them know why the flowers were so red.
Xiao Wu, who had intended to give those three wretched guys a severe lesson, felt a bit different the moment Yu Yan blocked her.
Having grown up under Flender's teaching that "those who dare not stir up trouble are mediocre," the three lacked any self-awareness about their own provocation; they only felt anger at Yu Yan's arrogant words.
"Yo, kid, you're pretty arrogant, aren't you?"
As the leader of the three, Dai Mubai took a step forward. The White Tiger Martial Soul and two yellow spirit rings appeared behind him, and the aura of a Spirit Grandmaster spread out, causing the surrounding commoners to flee in a panic.
