"Wait, this isn't right! What about your Wind Wolf Mecha?"
The auras of the two mecha suits weren't even in the same league; Xiao Wu immediately sensed something was off.
"This is the Wind Wolf Mecha. I just combined it with your Spirit Rabbit Mecha and gave it a little upgrade."
Shane spread his arms, a power even greater than the original Wind Wolf Mecha surging through his body.
"Jerk, you're cheating again!"
"Hey, the past is the past, now is now. If you're a noob, then practice more!"
How could Xiao Wu tolerate this? She immediately sprang forward and charged!
Shane had no intention of going easy either; he was eager to test the power of his new mecha.
The Swiftwind Demon Wolf transformed into a green tempest and counterattacked. In an instant, the two mechas darted back and forth, clashing, engaging in an intense, passionate battle!
If anyone had been watching at that moment, they would never have imagined this was a spar between Rank 10 Spirit Masters – it was simply beyond belief!
Three minutes later…
"Smack! Smack! Smack!"
"Do you submit or not?"
The Swiftwind Demon Wolf had one hand gripping the little white rabbit's slender waist, while the other relentlessly spanked her little bottom.
"Stop hitting, stop hitting! Can't Sister Xiao Wu just admit defeat?"
"Wuwuwu~"
Faced with absolute suppression of strength, Xiao Wu could only yield to Shane's "lewd might," obediently begging for mercy.
Hearing the little loli on the verge of tears, Shane also knew when to quit while he was ahead. He raised his hand, and both their mecha suits simultaneously dematerialized into data.
Without the support of the mecha, Shane suddenly felt a bit dizzy, his steps unsteady, his body feeling completely drained…
Xiao Wu got up, intending to argue with him, but seeing his state, she quickly rushed forward to support him.
"What's wrong, Shane?"
"It's nothing, nothing. Just a bit too much mental power consumption, haven't recovered yet."
Shane waved his hand. Today, he had first upgraded his mecha, and then fought with Xiao Wu in the afternoon.
The Swiftwind Demon Wolf's attributes were indeed powerful, but its consumption of spirit power and mental strength was also greater. His Rank 10 little Spirit Master self really couldn't handle it.
"Honestly! If you can't handle it, don't push yourself so hard!"
Xiao Wu's eyes were full of worry, and she couldn't help but say reproachfully.
"Don't worry. Come on, help me back to the dorm."
Hearing this, Shane's heart warmed. He leaned into the girl's embrace, inhaling her body fragrance, and smiled.
Xiao Wu didn't resist their intimate posture, her pretty face slightly flushed, and she escorted Shane back in front of the other students.
Returning to the dormitory in the afternoon, Shane sat on his bed, resting and quietly cultivating.
With no one to play happily with her, the little loli soon felt a bit bored. However, a sudden idea flashed in her mind.
"Shane, didn't you say last time that if I get stronger, your first spirit ring will also get stronger?"
Xiao Wu knelt on their joined beds and sidled up to the boy, asking.
"Mm, that's right. What's up?" Shane looked at her curiously.
"Oh, well, Sister Xiao Wu needs to go out for a couple of days. Help me let the teacher know, okay~"
Xiao Wu nodded, looking thoughtful, then picked up her little pink satchel and was about to run out.
Shane grabbed her little hand, "Wait, where are you going?"
"Shhh, it's a secret! I'm not telling you!"
Xiao Wu's little hand slipped away, and then, with a joyful smile on her face, she skipped out the door.
Shane watched her go but didn't follow, because he knew his first spirit ring was about to have a significant development!
In the blink of an eye, a day passed…
In the evening, Shane was in the South Garden, preparing to complete his daily tasks as a work-study student.
He picked up a broom, and just as he was about to sweep with gusto, someone suddenly patted him on the back.
Turning around instinctively, before Shane could even see who it was, a long scorpion braid locked around his neck, and then two long, fair legs clamped around his waist!
Now, if the ambusher exerted sudden force with her waist, Shane could very well be taken down, the sneak attack succeeding.
But clearly, the ambusher had no such intention.
"Big jerk! You lose this time!"
A familiar voice entered his ears – it was a smug-looking Xiao Wu, back already!
"Well, well, you little rabbit! Give you an inch and you take a mile, huh? Getting completely lawless, are we?"
Shane reached out and supported Xiao Wu's soft and tender little bottom, even giving it a few rubs while he spoke – it felt really good!
There were still quite a few students coming and going nearby. How could Xiao Wu have expected Shane to be so bold? She quickly covered her bottom and jumped down.
"Hmph! The moment I come back, you start getting handsy!"
"Now, now, what are you talking about? Wasn't it just that I missed you!"
Shane smoothly found an excuse, took the girl's little hand again, and smirked.
"Jerk! There are too many people here!"
Xiao Wu bit her lower lip, blushing, trying to pull her hand away but unable to break free.
They were still first-year students; if they were discovered, they would definitely be reprimanded by the teachers!
"Alright, then let's go somewhere with fewer people."
Shane's ability to "understand" could be said to be unparalleled. He pulled the little loli and turned onto a sparsely populated path.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu knew she couldn't win against him. Her little hand relaxed, and she simply let him lead her.
The two of them looked at each other. Xiao Wu couldn't stand the direct gaze and was the first to break eye contact, lowering her head.
"I was out for a whole day. Aren't you curious about what I was doing?"
Xiao Wu kicked at a pebble on the ground, muttering softly, then peeked at Shane out of the corner of her eye.
"Hmm… I can't guess. Classmate Xiao Wu, hurry up and tell me!"
Shane played along with Xiao Wu's expectation, deliberately picking up the conversational thread.
Hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Wu's lips, "Silly! Let me show you just how amazing Sister Xiao Wu is!"
The moment her voice fell, a yellow spirit ring spiraled up from under the little rabbit's feet!
"Xiao Wu, is this your first spirit ring?"
Shane looked as excited as if he were seeing his own first spirit ring.
"Mm-hmm! A 999-year first spirit ring, you know!"
"What do you think? Isn't Sister Xiao Wu amazing?"
The little rabbit could no longer contain the joy she had been hiding all along and invited the boy to share in her happiness.
"Amazing! Too amazing!"
Shane gave a thumbs up. At a time like this, he certainly wouldn't say anything to dampen her spirits.
What's more, Xiao Wu's first spirit ring was 999 years old, which meant Shane's first spirit ring was also 999 years old. He couldn't be happier!
Of course, this was just the beginning. As for why Xiao Wu insisted on capping it at the 999-year limit, Shane could actually understand.
The little minx was a Spirit Beast in human form. If her first spirit ring were directly a purple, thousand-year one, it would undoubtedly attract too much attention.
According to normal development, Xiao Wu condensing a mid-to-high tier first spirit ring would have been about right.
But now, in order to feed back more spirit ring age attributes to Shane, the little rabbit had already tried her utmost.
Thinking of this, Shane's gaze towards Xiao Wu softened even more. He squeezed the little hand in his palm and said, "You must not have eaten properly after being out all day, right? How about I take you out for a late-night snack right now?"
"Really?"
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
She didn't have money, so of course, she couldn't have eaten her fill. The first thing she did when she came back was to find Shane; her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
"But the cleaning work here isn't finished yet…"
Xiao Wu looked at the South Garden and pouted.
"No problem, small issue!"
Shane took a detour and found an acquaintance who was watering the garden.
"Wang Sheng! Help clean up the South Garden tonight. I'll treat you to a meal later!"
Tossing down the broom and that sentence, Shane pulled Xiao Wu and ran off!
Leaving only Wang Sheng standing alone, disheveled in the wind…
