I collect fragments in Douluo Continent

Chapter 16 Those are my brothers

"What should we do, Lu Feng? Will Tang San be alright? Will he be expelled?" Xiao Wu tugged at Lu Feng's sleeve and asked worriedly.

Upon seeing this, Lu Feng was immediately puzzled.

Big sister, you are a transformed soul beast, the overlord of the forest!

Why would you worry about a six-year-old kid?

Lu Feng patted Xiao Wu's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Tang San not only has innate full soul power, but he has also obtained a soul ring. He is the academy's treasure. What's more, he has a powerful soul master as his teacher to support him."

"Mm." Xiao Wu nodded upon hearing this.

Suddenly, she rolled her big eyes and scrutinized Lu Feng from head to toe. "Lu Feng, you were so mean just now! You actually made Tang San take the blame for you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng immediately jumped up excitedly.

"Defamation! I'll sue you for defamation!"

"Tang San and I are from the same village; we grew up together. He's my dearest friend, my brother!"

"Pfft!" Xiao Wu covered her mouth and burst out laughing when she saw this.

"Lu Feng, I've discovered you're a super bad guy! Hahaha!"

"Hmph! I'll let it slide for the sake of the fragments, you little brat!" Lu Feng snorted as he watched Xiao Wu laughing until tears streamed down her face, and walked towards the classroom.

Just as Lu Feng had expected, Tang San was only given a brief reprimand by Director Su before returning to the classroom unharmed.

On the contrary, the remaining work-study students were scolded by Director Su and dared not utter a sound, and even had a month's salary deducted.

Back in the dormitory, Lu Feng compensated each of his underlings with ten silver soul coins. The main responsibility for today's escalation lay with Lu Feng. If he hadn't acted so rudely, the fight wouldn't have broken out.

Of course, the results were also very fruitful.

Moreover, through this experiment, Lu Feng discovered another pattern in the falling fragments.

The probability of fragments dropping is highest during combat. And you don't even need to participate; you can pick up fragments from a distance while observing.

A gentle breeze was blowing, and the moon and stars were few.

"Carrots, carrots."

Xiao Wu mumbled a few words in her sleep, then turned over and stretched her foot towards Tang San's mouth.

Looking at Xiao Wu, who had no ladylike demeanor whatsoever, Lu Feng's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"During today's battle, Xiao Chenyu and Xiao Wu used their first soul skill several times, but it seems I couldn't collect the soul skill fragments?"

"If I remember correctly, teleportation and invincible golden body are both Xiao Wu's soul bone skills. In the original work, Tang San relied on the invincible golden body to escape from life-threatening crises many times."

"So, how did I manage to pick up these two skills?"

Lu Feng stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"Soul Rings and Soul Bones"

"Two soul beasts of the same species and age can produce different soul skills. The same soul beast, when absorbed by different soul masters, will also produce different soul skills."

"It can be said that a Soul Master's Soul Skill is almost unique and very difficult to replicate."

"On the other hand, soul bones are different. No matter who absorbs them, the effects of their soul skills will not change. Some powerful soul masters can even predict the skills that a soul bone will produce in advance."

Lu Feng closed his eyes and pondered quietly.

"There's another possibility: even if I kill Xiao Wu now, I can only absorb her soul bone, not her soul ring. So, even if I try to take advantage of her, I can only get the soul bone skill."

"Mom. Mom," Xiao Wu suddenly uttered in her sleep.

Lu Feng opened his eyes and looked at the girl sleeping soundly under the moonlight. It was hard for him to associate her with a soul beast.

"Xiao Wu is probably already being targeted by Tang Hao. Whether Tang Hao treats her as his daughter-in-law or as Tang San's backup spirit ring, it has nothing to do with me."

"In the original story, she was quite a pitiful person."

"Sigh, I've really gotten a little carried away. I should probably just feel sorry for myself first!"

Lu Feng turned over, stopped thinking nonsense, and soon fell asleep.

On the rooftop of the teaching building, a man in a black robe leaned against a stone pillar, quietly watching the student dormitories.

"Mistress, will you suffer the same fate as your father?"

Lu Feng's life is very fulfilling. He attends classes in the morning, goes to the library in the afternoon, and spends his free time sparring with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Although both had obtained spirit rings, neither could gain any advantage in their sparring. Even when Tang San used hidden weapons, he could only barely suppress Lu Feng.

Of course, Tang San used pebbles, while Lu Feng wasn't so reckless as to "catch a blade with his bare hands".

It's worth mentioning that, after Xiao Wu's persistent pleading, Tang San finally agreed to bring Lu Feng and Xiao Wu to Master's dormitory to attend classes.

Upon seeing Lu Feng again, the master had a dark expression on his face almost the entire time.

But soon, he witnessed what a real "bad student" was.

Whenever the topic of soul beasts came up, Xiao Wu would always stand up and argue with Yu Xiaogang, often leaving him speechless with her rebuttals.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Later, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San got used to it and even treated her as a member of some powerful family. Only Lu Feng knew that this person was the ancestor of soul beasts.

Time flies, and soon the first academic year was over.

"Goodbye, Brother Feng, Third Brother, Sister Xiao Wu!"

At the entrance of Dormitory 7, Wang Sheng, carrying his luggage, bid farewell to everyone.

He has successfully obtained a spirit ring and advanced to become a spirit master. He will be promoted to the intermediate academy next year.

With Wang Sheng gone, only Lu Feng and two others remained in Dormitory 7.

"Little rabbit, aren't you going home?" Lu Feng asked casually as he lay on the bed.

"You damned Lu Feng, you stinky Lu Feng, how many times have I told you, don't call me 'little rabbit'!"

"Okay, rabbit! No problem, rabbit!"

"Ah~!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately bared her teeth and claws, rushed onto Lu Feng's bed, and wrestled with him.

"Sigh~" Tang San sighed as he looked at Xiao Wu, who was pinned to the bed by Lu Feng and unable to move.

Over the past year, the three of them have often sparred together, and their relationship has been quite good.

Although Xiao Wu was incompetent and loved to play, Tang San had already come to regard her as a younger sister.

As for Lu Feng...

"Unfathomable!" Tang San looked at the young man who was displaying his divine power on the bed and shook his head slightly.

"Over the past year, I've fought Lu Feng dozens of times. At first, I could suppress him with my soul skills and Tang Sect techniques, but Lu Feng's learning ability seems a bit too strong!"

"He has completely mastered the art of controlling cranes and capturing dragons, and has also learned a third of the Ghostly Shadow Tracking technique, and even his own hidden weapons."

"However, some of Lu Feng's ingenious ideas have been quite helpful to me as well."

"Lu Feng, I'm all packed. Do you want to come back with me?" Tang San asked.

Before Lu Feng could reply, Xiao Wu spoke first: "Lu Feng, you and Xiao San are both from Holy Soul Village, how about I come to your house to play?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San smiled and said, "Sure, as long as you don't mind that my family is poor."

Lu Feng got off Xiao Wu and straightened his clothes slightly. "Tang San, I won't be going back this holiday."

Tang San asked curiously, "Lu Feng, is there something important you need to do?"

Lu Feng nodded and said with a faint smile, "Yes, I have already broken through to level ten."
