The day Yang Xiong arrived at school and had just sat down, a little devil girl appeared before him.
Ning Rongrong looked at Yang Xiong with a somewhat strange expression. "Little Xiongzi, come out with me for a moment. There's something I want to talk to you about alone."
Not only Yang Xiong, but everyone around them was also surprised. Although Ning Rongrong was known for being playful and dominant within the school, the two of them had never had any interaction. Why would she suddenly want to talk to Yang Xiong alone?
One should know that while Yang Xiong was first in the exams, this was only theoretical knowledge. In the Soul Master world, many people didn't value this aspect; they placed more importance on soul power level.
And Ning Rongrong happened to have the highest soul power level in the class, and her status within the sect was noble. Especially since she was quite beautiful, she was highly praised by both the boys and girls in the class. From any perspective, the two seemed completely unrelated.
Seeing the strange looks from the people around him, Yang Xiong felt a headache coming on. In the end, he reluctantly followed the little devil girl out of the classroom.
Ning Rongrong looked at Yang Xiong with a strange expression. "Little Xiongzi, I remember seeing you buy Whale Jelly last time. Did you discover the secret of Whale Jelly?"
Yang Xiong was surprised internally. Didn't they say the average IQ in Douluo was low? How is this little devil girl so quick to react?
"Sister Rongrong, what are you talking about? I don't know what you mean."
A sly smile appeared on Ning Rongrong's face, looking completely confident. "Although my father said the secret of Whale Jelly was discovered by your father, I saw you secretly buying Whale Jelly by yourself. And it looked like you had secretly consumed it. I was wondering at the time, how could an eight-year-old child buy Whale Jelly?"
Yang Xiong quickly said, "Sister Rongrong, couldn't it be that my father asked me to buy it?"
Ning Rongrong's face showed a look of disdain. "It's normal for adults to buy Whale Jelly, but it's not normal for a child like you to buy it."
"And I checked. Although your father, Yang Lin, has always been diligent, he has never made any special contributions to the sect. However, you've liked reading since you were young. Maybe you found it from clues in books."
Yang Xiong was speechless. He hadn't expected his adult way of thinking to be looked down upon by an eight-year-old child.
"Sister Rongrong, the matter of Whale Jelly concerns the sect's secrets. It's best not to leak it out. Also, you specifically asked me to come out, it shouldn't be just for this matter, right?"
Ning Rongrong's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant. "I knew it was you! It's you, this guy, who made me have to eat this disgusting thing called Whale Jelly now. You have to compensate me!"
Yang Xiong felt speechless at the little devil girl's thought process. "Sister Rongrong, you can't blame me for this. It was the Sect Leader who made you eat Whale Jelly. And Whale Jelly is indeed a good thing, very beneficial to the body. Shouldn't you be thanking me instead?"
Ning Rongrong snorted. "Thank you for what? I'm being forced by my father to eat Whale Jelly at such a young age. Haven't you thought that the side effects of this Whale Jelly aren't very friendly to girls?"
Yang Xiong said helplessly, "Miss Rongrong, what exactly do you want after saying all this? I'm just an ordinary person in the class, and my soul power has always been at the bottom."
A look of successful scheming appeared on Ning Rongrong's face. "What I want you to do is very simple. If you discover such secrets in the future, don't tell my father. Just tell me directly, and maybe I'll give you other rewards."
After speaking, Ning Rongrong directly handed Yang Xiong a Soul Tool. "This is my reward for you. If you discover any secrets in the future, you must tell me. Absolutely do not tell my father, otherwise, I have a bunch of little brothers who will make you look good."
"Also, don't call me Sister Rongrong anymore. Just call me Sister Rongrong. From now on, you'll follow me. You're my little brother now. I'll cover for you in the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Yang Xiong felt a headache looking at Ning Rongrong's state. What did this mean? How did he, a dignified man, become someone else's little brother? And an eight-year-old girl at that.
However, seeing Ning Rongrong's proud little appearance, Yang Xiong reluctantly took her Soul Tool.
Unexpectedly, there were actually hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins in the Soul Tool, and even some cultivation resources. It looked like someone had prepared it in advance; at least, an eight-year-old girl wouldn't have thought of it so thoroughly.
Especially since this Soul Tool was actually a wristband, it wasn't conspicuous when worn on the hand. It had a full twenty cubic meters of space inside and looked quite suitable.
A hint of pride appeared on Ning Rongrong's face. "Following Sister Rongrong won't be a loss for you. I have a lot of good things like this at home. As long as you can discover another good thing like Whale Jelly, but absolutely don't tell my father, just tell me. Besides, we're classmates, it's much easier for you to find me than to find my father."
Yang Xiong: ...
After the two returned to the classroom, Yang Xiong went back to his usual corner seat. Everyone in the classroom seemed exceptionally envious.
Yang Xiong liked the wristband in his hand more and more. Ever since he became a Soul Master, he had wanted a Soul Tool, but Soul Tools were relatively rare. Each one was estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins. In the Yang family, only Yang Lin and Sun Yu had them; even his elder brother didn't have one yet.
This wrist Soul Tool, in particular, seemed specifically chosen for him. He could wear it during his training and even during medicinal baths. It appeared the person who selected this Soul Tool was very familiar with his daily habits.
Especially the Gold Soul Coin card inside, containing hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins. For an eight-year-old child, this was a huge fortune, yet not overly exaggerated, so at least no one in the sect would covet it.
Yang Xiong couldn't help but sigh, "This Ning Fengzhi is quite interesting. He's thought things through quite thoroughly for his precious daughter. She's already learning how to win people over at such a young age."
However, what Yang Xiong didn't know was that this wristguard wasn't chosen by Ning Fengzhi, but by someone else.
With this unexpected windfall of hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins, Yang Xiong planned to advance his training schedule and begin true body refinement.
Recently, Yang Xiong had read many books, some of which contained body refinement methods from defense-oriented families. These families, in pursuit of powerful physical defense, stimulated their bodies' defensive attributes through various medicinal means, ultimately achieving ultimate defense.
To truly achieve ultimate defense, one typically needed a Beast Martial Soul, like the Elephant Armor Sect's Diamond Mammoth or the Defense Clan's Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros. Besides basic training, there were also some secret family techniques.
Although Yang Xiong didn't want to follow the Way of Defense, he knew that those who did generally possessed extremely strong bodies and astonishing strength, which was very beneficial for the early development of a Body Martial Soul.
