Chapter 37 — Ah Yin & Gu Yuena: In the Prime of Youth
Nuoding Academy
Xiao Wu hid beneath her blanket, looking at the psychological-pressure tactics (PUA-style persuasion) from the girls in the chat group, and fell into silence.
What they said… seemed to make some sense.
She glanced down at her own body—small and underdeveloped—and realized she was only at the Soul Master level.
Right now, she was basically a "three-no" person: aside from looks, she had no figure, no money, and no strength.
By contrast, Bibi Dong, although foolish, had excellent conditions.
Moreover, Bibi Dong's popularity as a topic far surpassed Xiao Wu's. Even though most of Bibi Dong's attention was negative publicity, attention was still attention.
As long as Bibi Dong appeared beside Lin Chen, she would bring massive attention and traffic, and the hidden diary reward for that day would almost certainly belong to her.
"Should I share it with the others? My advantage doesn't seem very obvious…"
Xiao Wu murmured, hesitating internally.
In the end, she compromised.
Rather than letting Bibi Dong obtain the reward, it would be better for the sisters in the chat group who were close to her to get it.
As the saying goes, "Fertile water should not flow into outsiders' fields."
Xiao Wu's relationship with Bibi Dong in the chat group was only average—and that was because Xiao Wu didn't yet know Bibi Dong was the enemy who killed her mother.
Otherwise, Xiao Wu would have exposed Lin Chen's location immediately, even at the cost of everything, and never allowed her enemy to obtain rewards.
[Carrot Lover: Sisters, the city I'm in is called Nuoding City. It belongs to Fasinuo Province and lies at the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.]
[Carrot Lover: Lin Chen and I are studying at the Soul Master Academy in Nuoding City—Nuoding Academy.]
[Carrot Lover: I've told you everything. Whether you can compete with Bibi Dong depends on your own abilities.]
After sending the message, Xiao Wu felt reluctant inside.
Her Super Carrots would now have to be rationed carefully instead of being eaten extravagantly like before.
She was no longer monopolizing Lin Chen alone. If she ate too quickly, the Super Carrots might be gone in just a few days.
"Waaah… It's all Bibi Dong's fault. Why did that stupid woman suddenly come to Nuoding Academy?"
"Now I have to start eating my Super Carrots sparingly. It's all Bibi Dong's fault."
Xiao Wu silently blamed that foolish woman Bibi Dong, thinking how nice it would have been if she had simply stayed in Spirit Hall.
At worst, once Xiao Wu became a super powerhouse by eating enough Super Carrots, she could help Lin Chen eliminate Tang Hao and Tang San—the father-and-son pair—especially since Tang Hao also had a grudge against her.
After learning Xiao Wu and Lin Chen's location, the chat group became lively again.
[I Am a Little Princess: Xiao Wu, as expected of a good sister. Now that we know Lin Chen's location, once I obtain my first soul ring, I'll set out to find him.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: Hmm? I'm also about to obtain my first soul ring, but my situation is a bit difficult. Let's see if I can slip away.]
[Yan Will Come Back: Are you two little sisters? @I Am a Little Princess @A Cat Longing for Freedom]
[I Am a Little Princess: Yes, I just awakened my martial soul not long ago.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: Same here. I'm about the same age as Lin Chen and Xiao Wu.]
[Little Fox: By the way, how old is everyone in this chat group? Any sisters want to reveal their age?]
[Little Fox: I'll start—it's been six years since my martial soul awakened.]
[Yan Will Come Back: Same generation.]
[Cold and Detached Melon-Eating Girl: Same generation.]
[I Have No Mother: My martial soul awakened ten years ago—I'm your older sister.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: I don't need to say more—I could be your aunt.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: I'll help that foolish woman Bibi Dong answer—after all, we're from the same generation.]
[The Sea God's Spokesperson: Uh… my age might be a little too big. I'd rather not say.]
[Green Grass: ???]
[Green Grass: Then… Why don't you take a look at me?]
Behind Holy Soul Village
Ah Yin counted her age.
At the very least, she had lived for several tens of thousands of years.
As for one hundred thousand years, her actual age hadn't reached that point—only her cultivation age had.
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was not necessarily one that had lived for one hundred thousand years. After all, some soul beasts could cultivate several years' worth of power within a single year.
But from the moment Ah Yin was born until now, it had still been tens of thousands of years.
"Sigh… in this chat group, I feel like I could be an ancestor."
Ah Yin's branches and leaves swayed gently as she sighed inwardly.
But in the next moment, her thoughts changed:
"Still, soul beasts' ages can't be calculated like that."
"Mm… I should still be in the prime of youth—I should count as a beautiful young girl."
[The Sea God's Spokesperson: @I Sleep Every Day—you're the only one left, sister. How old are you now?]
[I Sleep Every Day: In the prime of youth.]
[The Sea God's Spokesperson: I see—then you're the younger sister.]
Deep Within the Lake of Life
Gu Yuena looked at Bo Saixi's message, then glanced at her own mountain-like dragon body, recalling the long years since her birth.
Her face couldn't help but flush slightly, faint pink hues appearing among her beautiful silver scales.
But soon, her expression grew firm again.
"That's right—what I said isn't wrong. Even though I've slept for hundreds of thousands of years…"
"I am a Silver Dragon King, a divine beast with an endless lifespan. As long as I live, I'm always in the prime of youth."
Nuoding Academy — High in the Sky
At this moment, Tang Hao's battle against Bibi Dong and the others had reached an intense climax.
Tang Hao's mountain-like Clear Sky Hammer, crackling with lightning, launched relentless attacks toward Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo.
Facing Tang Hao's assault, the three did not choose to confront him head-on; instead continuously dodging.
In terms of martial soul attack power, whether it was Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, or Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, none could match the terrifying offensive might of the Clear Sky Hammer—a pure attack-type martial soul.
Seeing this, Tang Hao grew impatient.
This Bibi Dong was not at all what he had imagined.
"Hahaha! I never expected the current Pope of Spirit Hall to be such a coward— not even daring to confront me directly!"
"You bring shame to the name of Spirit Hall. A Rank 97 Super Douluo, along with two Rank 95 Super Douluo…"
"Yet when facing me—a mere Rank 94 Titled Douluo—you avoid my edge. How ridiculous."
Unable to land his attacks, Tang Hao stopped swinging the Clear Sky Hammer and mocked the three of them.
"Heh."
"Tang Hao, stop trying to provoke us. If I'm not mistaken, the injuries in your body must already be starting to ache again, aren't they?"
"If combat were determined purely by attack power, then the world wouldn't distinguish between agility-attack system, power-attack system, and support system martial souls."
