When the black laces covering the eyes are removed, the black pupils turn blood red, and the
two black magatama slowly rotate, with a purple hue appearing in the black pupil between the
magatama.
Perhaps influenced by the Purple Demon Eye, when the Sharingan is activated, the black pupils
between the tomoe also turn purple, and it even has the ability to see through things 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 are quite a few advantages, but it makes me increasingly unserious. It's best not to
reveal this ability, as it's easy for people to misunderstand.The purple aura only lasted a short time, and Ye Qiu soon finished his cultivation. When he
returned, Xiao Wu had already gotten up.
"Xiao Qiu~" Just as I opened the dormitory door, a delicate body rushed towards me, bumping
into me.
"Xiao Wu, how many times have I told you? Girls should be more reserved!" Ye Qiu said
helplessly, trying to push her away.
"Okay, okay..."
"..." Ye Qiu looked at her speechlessly. A rabbit's mouth is a liar. She said she understood, but
hugged her 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."
When Tang San looked at Ye Qiu, his expression became somewhat stiff and unnatural; he was
already showing signs of regarding Ye Qiu as a rival in love.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu didn't care much about this anymore. Ever since he copied Tang San's
technique, he had been certain that once it was exposed, it would be a fight to the death.The concept of sectarianism had become ingrained in Tang San's very being...
However, as a classmate and roommate, Ye Qiu was always very polite to him, nodding to him as
a sign of respect.
"You're back just in time, let's go to class together." Xiao Wu took Ye Qiu's hand and they were
about to leave.
"No, I have something to do..." Ye Qiu smiled apologetically and withdrew his hand to refuse.
"What's wrong with you again?" She stomped her foot angrily, expressing her dissatisfaction
with Ye Qiu's behavior, not even spending 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, I'd be happy to, but… cultivation is ultimately a personal matter." Ye Qiu's face
fell, his brows furrowed, and he added with a hint of worry, "You're all almost at level 20, and I'm
not even at level 10 yet. Of course, I have to work twice as hard to cultivate."
"Sister Xiaowu can protect you!" Xiaowu said.
Ye Qiu remained unmoved by the silly rabbit's words, but Tang San's words almost made him
want to stay in Bengbu.
"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 can go to class!" He turned and waved, then walked away with
practiced ease.In fact, Ye Qiu would say this every month or so, constantly exposing his weaknesses.
The purpose of doing this was simply to reassure Tang San that he was not good enough for
Xiao Wu, and that he still had a chance;
To reassure Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, he knew that he was not worthy of a
100,000-year soul ring and had no competitive advantage over his son.
Surely they, father and son, wouldn't be so intolerant of a 'trash' who's not even level 10?
Ye Qiu's figure slowly disappeared into the distance.
Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu, and Tang San looked at Xiao Wu.
The timing of Tang San realizing his feelings is completely different from that in the original
novel; perhaps this is what they mean by "the unattainable is always the most alluring."
After spending more than a year together, Tang San felt that Xiao Wu was the one he could
protect for the rest of his life...
He didn't understand why Xiao Wu was always clinging to Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu was so ordinary, yet
she was so confident; he was so much more outstanding than Ye Qiu...
However, he would not give up. With Ye Qiu's talent, the gap between him and Xiao Wu would
only widen.
After figuring this out, Tang San suddenly felt that his soul power was about to break through. If
Ye Qiu knew, he would definitely exclaim, "No wonder he is 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..."Oh? Okay, okay..."
Hearing this, Tang San was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. He quickly followed her and
walked side by side. Looking at Xiao Wu's profile, an unpleasant smile appeared on his face,
which was dark from years of blacksmithing.
Little did she know that 'ignore him' was just Xiao Wu's catchphrase when she saw Ye Qiu; she
couldn't help but stick close to him whenever she saw him.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu, who had already left Notting Academy, was on the street and heading
towards a mineral shop.
'That silly rabbit is so naive. If her identity is exposed, it's hard to say who will protect whom!'
Ye Qiu gave a wry smile, feeling immense pressure. Having already reached level eight, he
needed to prepare for his first stage.
Half an hour later, we finally arrived at our destination and stood next to the boss who was
unloading the goods.
"Boss, do you still have the saltpeter I asked for last time in stock?"
"Hmm? It's you, young man! I've got you, come with me." He still remembered Ye Qiu, this
strange guest. At first, there was a misunderstanding, and he thought Ye Qiu was blind.
After all, who in their right mind would use black stockings to cover their eyes?
Ye Qiu: He's a decent person, but his eyes aren't.
Chapter 11 Be Prepared
Without wasting much time, Ye Qiu got a bag of saltpeter from the shop owner and left.Arriving at the carving workshop where he works, he enters his own studio, takes out a pestle to
grind the saltpeter, and then passes it through a sieve.
"All the ingredients are ready..."
Ye Qiu took out some charcoal and sulfur that he had prepared beforehand from the drawer and
mixed the three together in different proportions.
Although the method of manufacturing gunpowder is relatively simple, Ye Qiu did not know the
proportions of these raw materials, so he could only experiment a few more times.
Ye Qiu felt unsafe entering the Soul Hunter Forest alone, as his Sharingan currently lacked
offensive capabilities, and he hadn't yet tried using genjutsu to control soul beasts.
In short, it's always better to be prepared.
Leaving the bustling city, we arrived at a secluded grove of trees and began our day's
experiment.
"puff!"
"puff!"...
"Oh!"
After several misfires, a single shot was finally heard. Ye Qiu then increased his speed...
sunset dusk,
Covered in dust and dirt, Ye Qiu finally embarked on his journey home, walking with a much
lighter gait.Although the power of gunpowder was not as great as he had imagined, quantitative change
can lead to qualitative change, even if it is troublesome.
However, it's more than enough to deal with thousand-year-old soul beasts.
It's somewhat useless against Soul Masters. In actual combat, Soul Masters are much smaller
than Soul Beasts and are too mobile. Before the explosives you throw out can detonate, they've
already run away.
Currently, the gunpowder Ye Qiu produces is only suitable for large-scale battles and dealing
with soul beasts.
"I am back!"
Ye Qiu's voice rang out from Dormitory Seven.
"Xiao Qiu, you're finally back! I was so bored without you around!"
Xiao Wu was the only one in Dormitory Seven. Tang San had gone to study with Grandmaster,
and the others had their own work. Almost every day at this time, Xiao Wu would wait for Ye Qiu
to return to the dormitory.
Like swallows returning to their nests, they nestled into Ye Qiu's embrace.
She sniffed. "Xiao Qiu, what's that smell on you? It's really strong..."
"Your clothes and hair are all messed up...cough cough!" As she spoke, she used her hands to
comb Ye Qiu's hair and patted the dust off his clothes, which triggered a cough.
"Alright, alright!" Ye Qiu grabbed her hand. "I need to take a shower first. How about you go buy
me something to eat?""No problem, but..." She first answered loudly, then suddenly became a little shy, blushing and
looking at Ye Qiu expectantly.
"What's wrong?" Ye Qiu asked, puzzled.
"I...I'm broke. Tang San treated me to dinner today."
Xiao Wu's resentful gaze made Ye Qiu feel somewhat embarrassed.
Although she could receive one gold soul coin from the Spirit Hall every month, most of the
money ended up in Ye Qiu's pocket.
It was indeed his oversight. He took out the money bag and put it in Xiao Wu's hand. "Here, take
it and spend it. If you're still hungry, you can buy more."
"That's great, Xiao Qiu, you're so kind!" After hugging Ye Qiu again, she skipped away from the
dormitory.
Ye Qiu was left standing there, muttering to himself, "Am I really that good? I'm such a silly
rabbit... Heh!"
...
After dinner, Xiao Wu tried to take Ye Qiu out for a walk, but he refused.
"Come on~ Xiao Qiu, I've got something good to show you!"
"What good stuff?"
"Clang clang clang clang~" Xiao Wu's sleeve slid down, revealing her forearm, on which was a
delicate wrist guard-like object, with several sharp, short arrows embedded around it.
