Chapter 38 The Way to Death: Tang Shenwang, the Theoretically Invincible Yu Xiaogang
Three days later.
Dugu Lin sat in a teahouse near the entrance of the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, sipping his tea while glancing out of the corner of his eye at a middle-aged man with a buzz cut beside him. He thought to himself, No way? This guy looks a bit like Yu Xiaogang, doesn't he?
At the tea shop, besides Dugu Lin and one or two customers coming and going, there was also a middle-aged man leisurely sunbathing on a deck chair.
This made Dugu Lin think about a question: Was Tang San's encounter with Yu Xiaogang really just a coincidence? Or was it premeditated by Yu Xiaogang?
At this time.
The middle-aged man noticed Dugu Lin's attention, but he only glanced at Dugu Lin briefly, and after noticing that there was no fluctuation of soul power on Dugu Lin's body, he withdrew his gaze.
Not long after.
A hunched old man led a short, dark-skinned child to the entrance of the Elementary Soul Master Academy.
Dugu Lin naturally noticed the two approaching figures, thinking to himself, Is this Tang Shenwang? Sure enough! Before the Blue Silver Grass awakened for the second time, Tang San really was quite ugly!
As the plot unfolded, the gatekeeper got into an argument with Tang San and Old Jack.
The words "innate full soul power" and "blue silver grass" reached the tea stall.
At the same time, the middle-aged man whom Dugu Lin had been watching suddenly became excited. He stood up and walked step by step toward the academy gate!
Dugu Lin exclaimed in surprise, "It really is Yu Xiaogang! He really has been guarding the academy gate all this time! I knew it! There aren't that many coincidences in the world! All that talk of just bumping into each other is pure nonsense! It was all premeditated!"
Watching the scene unfold at the academy gate, Dugu Lin exclaimed inwardly, Holy crap! This guy actually wants to kill the gatekeeper! It really is true that he's ready to die at the slightest provocation!
At this moment, Tang San had already activated his hidden arrow and aimed it at the gatekeeper, which amazed Dugu Lin, who exclaimed, "Wow!"
Dugu Lin sipped his tea, thinking to himself: Next, Yu Xiaogang will step in and launch into a tirade: "My theories are invincible!" Then Tang San will immediately bow down in obeisance!
The events unfolded exactly as described in the original story.
Before Tang San could even shoot the gatekeeper, Yu Xiaogang reprimanded him, and the gatekeeper bowed and scraped, giving Yu Xiaogang plenty of face.
This gave Tang San a preliminary understanding of Yu Xiaogang: he was a very powerful person!
Watching Yu Xiaogang, having successfully pulled off his show of bravado, shamelessly lead Tang San into the academy, Dugu Lin sighed inwardly, Ah~ what a pity we won't see that iconic scene!
Yu Xiaogang wasn't truly brainless. Before revealing Tang San's secret of having twin martial souls, he would definitely have found a secluded place to speak with Tang San alone.
Just as Dugu Lin was feeling regretful, a child ran over and said, "Are you Ling Lingqi? An old man asked me to tell you to go outside the city."
Thank you!
Upon hearing this, Dugu Lin gave the child a gold soul coin and then quickly walked towards the city gate!
Ling Lingqi was the secret code he and Dugu Bo had agreed upon. One of them would guard the city gate, and the other would guard the academy gate. Once they captured Xiao Wu, they would simply send a random beggar to inform the other side!
They rushed to the agreed-upon courtyard outside the city.
"Grandpa?" Dugu Lin called out softly.
Creak~
Dugu Bo pushed open a wooden door, revealing only a crack. He peeked out and looked around, then said in a furtive tone, "Lin'er, come in quickly!"
Upon entering the house, they found Xiao Wu, whose hair was styled in a scorpion whip, lying unconscious on a pile of straw.
Thump thump thump~
Dugu Lin's heart pounded wildly, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "It's her! The 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Enchanting Rabbit!"
Beside him, Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter. He was absolutely certain of Xiao Wu's identity, and he chuckled, "This old man actually managed to catch her at the city gate in the direction of the Star Dou Ginseng Forest! I missed out on the Oscar two years ago, but now heaven has finally rewarded my hard work! Hahaha~~"
Dugu Lin suppressed his wildly beating heart and said, "Grandpa, now we'll see if she's willing to make a sacrifice!"
Dugu Lin was somewhat tempted by the fourth ring, which would last for 100,000 years!
Although the soul power attribute of the Soft-Boned Rabbit is not compatible with that of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent at all, and cannot help the Jade Phosphorous Serpent evolve, the soul skills of the Soft-Boned Rabbit are really good!
Void and Explosive Eight-Stage Throw.
Void is a physical immunity skill, it's versatile! It's even more suitable for separated martial souls!
There's also the Explosive Eight-Stage Throw, which is somewhat trash, but you have to understand one thing: the Jade Serpent is a snake! The resilience of a snake combined with a jujitsu-like move such as the Explosive Eight-Stage Throw is a perfect match!
However, different Soul Masters will not gain the same Soul Skills after absorbing the same Soul Ring. It is still uncertain what kind of Soul Skill Xiao Wu will gain after her sacrifice.
In addition.
No soul master could absorb a 100,000-year soul ring in the fourth, fifth, or sixth ring. Even with the help of his separated martial soul, Dugu Lin still lacked complete confidence!
Having missed the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Dugu Lin can only obtain a 100,000-year-old soul ring when he reaches the seventh ring.
To gamble on the possibility of a sacrifice at the Little Dance Party, Dugu Lin hasn't even used the "Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew" yet.
"Grandpa, first set up a soul power barrier, then wake her up."
"Um."
Dugu Bo had already set up a soul power barrier. Now, he simply took out a porcelain bottle, placed it under Xiao Wu's nose, and let her inhale it. Xiao Wu then woke up.
Xiao Wu slowly woke up and saw Dugu Bo and Dugu Lin. She exclaimed in surprise, "Who... who are you? Where is this?"
Dugu Lin laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, we're not bad people... oops! We're good people!"
Xiao Wu: "...."
Xiao Wu looked incredulous, but Dugu Lin didn't care and continued, "Let me introduce you. This is my grandfather, Dugu Bo. He is a Title Douluo with a level 95 Soul Power!"
"What? A... a Title Douluo?"
Xiao Wu's heart raced instantly, and she immediately realized that her true identity had probably been exposed!
At this moment, Dugu Bo released nine spirit rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black. Then he cautiously said, "You don't need to be afraid. As long as you obediently sacrifice yourself to my grandson, I won't do anything to you!"
Xiao Wu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.
The younger one in front of her smiled and said that he was not a bad person, while the older one spoke in the gentlest tone, asking her to make a sacrifice.
What kind of cheerful older brother or kind old grandfather would say such a thing!
What was left for her to escape?
Xiao Wu felt utterly cold, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She had only just left the Star Dou Great Forest and had only enjoyed two days of human life when she encountered these two nemeses.
Xiao Wu missed her mother, Da Ming and Er Ming, and regretted leaving the Star Dou Great Forest!
Before leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, her two good brothers, Da Ming and Er Ming, both tried to persuade her not to leave, saying that the human world was terrifying... Why didn't she believe them?
Now look what's happened! It's only been two days, and she's about to be killed by a human soul master to have her bones taken!
How terrifying is the human world!
As she thought about it, Xiao Wu felt more and more aggrieved, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes, on the verge of sobbing.
Seeing this, Dugu Lin said with a smile, "Don't cry, you're a 100,000-year-old rabbit, let's stop pretending to be children, okay? Let's talk about some adult topics, alright?"
