Douluo's Black Tower

Chapter 25
Standing at the door of his home, Zhou Ting was about to push open the ajar door when he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

I didn't want to pay attention to it, but...

"Zhou Ting, are you back?"

The familiar cold voice was... that boy Tang San!

Zhou Ting turned around and looked at the anxious boy who was looking around. He felt inexplicably better and answered with a smile.

"came back."

Not seeing the person he wanted to see, Tang San became more and more anxious. He no longer had any intention of chatting with Zhou Ting, so he went straight to the point and asked.

"Where's Xiao Wu?"

My sweetheart secretly went on a long trip with another man, and he was away for five or six days.

How could he feel relieved?

Ever since he learned that Zhou Ting was missing a few days ago, he had been living in torment and his face was green!
Fortunately, Zhou Ting finally came back today.

Everything will be over and on track!
"Xiao Wu, she is thinking about something outside the village. She will be back soon."

After all, Tang San didn't see anything from Zhou Ting's face, and asked in a somewhat uneasy voice.

"Oh, that's it. Where have you and Xiao Wu been these past few days?"

Zhou Ting smiled and said.

"This is our secret, look, Xiao Wu is back!"

secret?

Give me back your secret!

Tang San stood there blankly, clenching his fists unconsciously.

When Zhou Ting saw Tang San like this, he knew that he was starting to have random thoughts.

However, the more this kind of thing was explained, the more it seemed like a cover-up, so Zhou Ting simply said nothing and turned around and went home.

To be honest, he didn't want to spend any more time with Tang San.

...

The top of the hill outside the village is colorful, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

Tang San and Xiao Wu stood opposite each other, unable to speak.

He looked at the taciturn little girl who had changed from her normal state, and felt a dull pain in his heart.

"Xiao Wu, where have you been these past few days?"

Xiao Wu, who was still thinking about Zhou Ting's warning, finally heard Tang San's words.

"Xiaosan, what are you talking about? I didn't hear you clearly."

Tang San endured the heartache, looked intently at the girl who made his heart flutter for the first time, and asked with a gentle look on his face.

"I'm asking...what have you been doing these days."

Xiao Wu replied casually.

"Didn't I promise that boy Zhou Ting to help him get his first soul ring?"

Tang San was filled with bitterness: Xiao Wu...have you started lying to yourself?

However, the lies cannot be so outrageous!
With Zhou Ting's innate first-level soul power talent, he could go from one to ten in half a year, there was no chance!
Now, for him, Xiao Wu could deceive herself like this!

Tang San suddenly felt despair, his face full of disappointment.

Xiao Wu kept thinking about Zhou Ting's last warning and always felt that Zhou Ting was very weird...

Therefore, she couldn't concentrate and didn't even notice the strangeness of Tang San across from her, so she just kept talking to herself.

"Mistress, you don't know, that boy Zhou Ting is really a freak!"

Tang San was already extremely disappointed and asked a little coldly.

"How to say?"

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his career as a killer in his previous life, with no fluctuation or emotion in his tone.

"Xiao San, you don't know. That kid is hiding too deep. He has already reached the tenth level of cultivation..."

Speaking of this, a look of annoyance appeared on Xiao Wu's face. "However, I was also negligent. His training time every night is only a little less than ours. It is normal to reach level ten so quickly..."

Tang San fell into doubt. Xiao Wu was so swearing, could what she said be true?

Didn't they have...an affair!
Tang San's heart welled up with great hope.

"Xiao Wu...what you said is true?"

Xiao Wu felt suspicious and said angrily.

"Xiaosan, how dare you doubt me!"

The two looked at each other, and the confident look in Xiao Wu's eyes instantly made Tang San confirm: she didn't lie!

Tang San felt relieved, with a sincere smile on his face.

However, when he saw Xiao Wu's cheerful little face, he immediately changed the subject and sighed in agreement.

"Zhou Ting... is really a weirdo. He was born with a first-level soul power, but it only took him half a year to cultivate to the tenth level!"

Xiao Wu's anger came and went quickly.

After her anger subsided, she continued to talk.

"Yes, in his words, there are exceptions to everything in this world. He is an exception. Innate soul power does not represent his talent level."

Tang San nodded cooperatively, thinking that these words made sense, whether it was a stupid disease that could be cured without medicine, or a talent...

This person cannot be judged by common sense.

At this moment, Tang San suddenly remembered his father's words: Zhou Ting and you are not from the same world!
Well, the teacher also said this!
Now, it was the three of them who were collectively slapped in the face!

Fortunately, only they know this, so it won't embarrass themselves in front of outsiders.

Tang San couldn't help but sigh with emotion, secretly thinking.

"Father, teacher, we all thought wrong!"

Then, he looked at Xiao Wu who had become lively again and asked curiously.

"Then what soul beast did he choose? How old is it?"

Xiao Wu said with a strange expression.

"It's a Jade Queen Bee, nearly 200 years old!"

"what?"

Tang San was very surprised.

"How could it be? This age is too short! With such a powerful talent, why did he choose such a weak soul ring?"

"Is Zhou Ting a fool?"

Tang San himself didn't even notice that he felt inexplicably relaxed, and even his tone became a little lighter unconsciously.

Xiao Wu didn't notice it either, but her face became even weirder.

She thought of the two days she spent in the Black Tower, which allowed her to see with her own eyes the power of the Black Tower, and... the compatibility between the Queen Bee and the Black Tower!
Everything she saw and heard told her that Zhou Ting's choice was absolutely right!
However, Zhou Ting asked her to keep it secret, so she could only speak vaguely.

"The queen bee actually suits him quite well!"

The teacher's theory echoed in his mind, and Tang San retorted with absolute certainty.

"Impossible. The teacher said that the maximum life span of a soul master's first soul ring is 420 three years, more than 100 years... It is really too low! The power of soul skills is weak, and future cultivation will be affected."

"Furthermore, according to the teacher's theory, a weapon spirit like the Black Tower should choose a spirit skill with similar rugged properties, rather than a bee-needle attack... This is not beneficial to the Black Tower spirit itself!"

Tang San's words were true. If Xiao Wu hadn't witnessed the magic of the Black Tower with her own eyes, she might have truly believed it!
However, Zhou Ting asked her to keep it secret, and Sister Xiaowu, who has always been honest and trustworthy, naturally could not break the contract.

In short, she was holding it in very hard: that boy Zhou Ting was right, there are exceptions to everything, and he was that exception.

"Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore. Xiaosan, have you made the hidden weapon you mentioned?"

As soon as the hidden weapon was mentioned, Tang San looked extremely excited, with a face full of joy.

"All right!"

He took out an arm guard and introduced it enthusiastically.

"This is a sleeve arrow. It is hidden in the sleeve. It can take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and launch it through the mechanism, silently..."
