Douluo Tang San, stop rolling around

Chapter 71 Goodbye Xue Qinghe

"Mom~"

When Xu Dongyang returned home, he saw a middle-aged woman hanging clothes in the yard. The familiar figure touched the softest part of his heart.

But compared to the figure in my mind, he seemed a little thinner, and his hair was not as smooth as before, but a little dry.

There are a few more strands of white hair at the temples, and some crow's feet between the eyebrows.

It is not expected that a person would change so much in just three years. It can only be said that lovesickness is like a poison that accelerates aging!
Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Shuting turned her head in confusion, and then her eyes showed surprise.

His lips opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

"Mom, I'm back!" Xu Dongyang walked up and hugged her.

I feel that the thin and frail figure of the past has now become tall and strong enough to stand tall and upright.

Yu Shuting cried silently, and gently stroked the other's broad back with her hand, muttering in a trembling voice: "It's good that you're back!"

The two hugged each other for a while before Yu Shuting looked at her son seriously again. She looked around and asked in confusion:

"Didn't Xiao Wu come back with you?"

Xu Dongyang was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and explained: "Xiao Wu went home to take care of her brother."

Yu Shuting nodded without asking any more questions, but took Xu Dongyang's hand and walked into the house.

Soon the two of them were talking about their experiences and observations over the past few years at a sumptuous family dinner. Of course, most of the talk was done by Xu Dongyang.

At night, Xu Dongyang took out the core of the golem from the Ruyi Treasure Bag, and clenched the dark gold claws in his right hand. The crystal shattered, and a piece of right arm bone appeared in his hand.

Xu Dongyang sat cross-legged on the bed, constantly looking at the right arm bone in his hand.

It looks no different from a human right arm bone, with a rounded stone-like front end, like a clenched fist.

There is a slender cylinder connected to the back, and the whole thing has an amber glow.

It feels metallic when you touch it, with a hint of coolness, and looks like an amber jade overall.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided to absorb this soul bone.

He is not so ambitious that he would not dare to ask for a hundred thousand year soul bone. It is better to be down-to-earth. After all, who can predict the future?
Xu Dongyang closed his eyes and used his mind to control the soul bone attached to his right arm. Then his soul power started to circulate, and he immediately felt a resonance between his own soul power and the soul power in the soul bone.

Soon the two soul powers connected together, and the soul bone turned into a ball of light and disappeared.

Xu Dongyang felt as if his right arm was being burned by a furnace, and his bones were numb and itchy.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and he clenched his teeth.

“Phew~Done!”

Xu Dongyang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at his right arm and said to himself: "Find a place to try the effect!"

After saying that, he got up and left home, heading for the woods outside Notting City. With his current Soul King cultivation, naturally no one in this small Notting City could discover him.

Xu Dongyang stood in the forest, his soul power poured into his right hand, and suddenly his right arm burst into an ochre-colored halo.

Then he punched forward!

Boom~
A khaki-colored fist wind rushed towards the woods ahead. The fist wind had a very large range and was in the shape of a fan.

However, in the center of the fist wind there is a shock wave with greater power and more brilliant light. (Refer to Wukong W)

The trees in the forest ahead were defeated by the fist wind, and large numbers of them fell to the ground. The shock wave in the middle pierced through the forest ahead like a meteor.

A two-meter-wide and one-meter-deep ditch appeared on the ground, highlighting the destructive power of this punch.

Xu Dongyang looked at the mess ahead, a look of satisfaction on his face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Just call it—deliberate punch!"

After testing the soul bone skills, Xu Dongyang returned home.

He stayed at home with his mother for three months before setting off for Tiandou City. Now his soul power has reached level 54.

This was the improvement brought about by absorbing the soul bone. He gave himself a three-month vacation at home. Although his cultivation improved, it was not outstanding.

Half a month later
Xu Dongyang came to Tiandou City again. As soon as he entered the city, he hid his tracks and headed towards the Tiandou Palace.

"Who is sneaking around!" When he arrived at the Tiandou Palace, he heard the guard's shout, and then two soldiers in silver armor stopped him.

He calmly took out the token Xue Qinghe gave him and handed it to the guard.

"I'm here to ask for an audience with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The guard took the token and looked at it, then said respectfully:
"Please wait a moment. I will go and announce it." After saying this, the guard ran into the palace.

Xu Dongyang waited for a while, then saw the guard running out of the palace, then bowed and said:
"Sir, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you in."

"Lead the way." Xu Dongyang nodded in response, then followed the guard into the palace.

"The master has arrived. You can only go in by yourself." The guard said after bringing Xu Dongyang to the door of a hall.

Xu Dongyang nodded, then stepped into the hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Xue Qinghe's gentle voice.
"Brother Dongyang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you don't come to visit often. Are you dissatisfied with my poor hospitality?"

Xue Qinghe was wearing a white robe inlaid with gold thread and walked slowly towards Xu Dongyang with a faint smile on her face.

"His Royal Highness!"

Xu Dongyang bowed and saluted, then a look of haggardness appeared on his face.
"It's not that I don't want to visit, but I got into some trouble these past few months and have been hiding out."

After saying that, Xu Dongyang glanced at the other person without leaving a trace, observing the other person's expression.

Xue Qinghe's smile faded, and he frowned slightly as he said, "I wonder what kind of trouble Brother Dongyang has encountered? Perhaps I can help you out a little."

Hearing this, Xu Dongyang was secretly delighted and sighed:
"Hey! Some time ago, I injured the son and grandson of Titan, the leader of the Power Clan. I heard that the Power Clan protects its people, and I was worried that Titan would come to trouble me, so I stayed out of the spotlight."

"Titan?"

Xue Qinghe muttered to himself, and after thinking for a while, he asked uncertainly:

"A powerful Soul Douluo nicknamed Hercules?"

"That's right!" Xu Dongyang nodded slightly.

Xue Qinghe pondered for a while, frowned and looked at Xu Dongyang: "This is not easy to deal with! The Li clan is a strong sect, and the four major clans are closely related. Even if they unite, they cannot be underestimated by the top three clans."

Xu Dongyang's mind was in turmoil, trying to figure out the other party's intentions.

'What's the meaning? ’

'It seems that he neither refused nor agreed.'

'Or do I have to put up a bargaining chip to satisfy him? But what do I have?'

"Forget it! You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. At most, I'll just take a little loss."

After thinking for a while, Xu Dongyang bowed seriously and said:
"Your Highness, if you can help me get through this, I will keep this in mind. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask for my help."

Xue Qinghe raised his lips when he saw this, and quickly helped Xu Dongyang up. "Although this matter is troublesome, since you ask for my help, it means you think highly of me, Xue Qinghe. I will definitely mediate this matter."

Xu Dongyang looked at the fake smile on the other person's face and complained in his heart.

"Damn it! These people who play with power are so difficult to deal with! If I didn't want to gain your trust and get close to you, would I be playing this trick with you?"

But he said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"You and I are brothers, there's no need to be so formal."

Xue Qinghe was in a very good mood. In his opinion, the Li clan was a subsidiary sect of the Haotian Sect and could not be won over anyway. He could use it to do a favor and win over a young genius, which would be a huge profit!
The two of them talked for a while, each with their own thoughts, and then Xue Qinghe said:

"Brother, I'd better resolve your issue as soon as possible. You can stay in my house for the time being. I believe no one dares to cause trouble in my territory."

As he said that, he called the housekeeper to take Xu Dongyang to choose a room.

"That's annoying!"

Xu Dongyang watched the other person leave.
