Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 64 Delivered to the Door

Not long after Shi Yi returned to the academy, Yu Xiaogang came to his door.

"Teacher?" When Shi Yi was about to go to the cafeteria, he opened the door and saw Yu Xiaogang's slightly stiff face.

"Let's go and talk." Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and sighed slightly.

Shi Yi smiled and nodded. With Yu Xiaogang's ability to read people's expressions, it was normal for him to know that there was something unusual between him and Tang San.

Shi Yi and Yu Xiaogang walked slowly on the path of Shrek Academy.

"I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to talk to you about." Yu Xiaogang said softly, his tone full of concern.

Shi Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Sect Master Ning are master and disciple. He probably came to me just to get closer to me so that he can make some preparations for recruiting him in the future."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and nodded slightly, saying: "Well...even if you have no feelings towards the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, joining the Empire's camp is also a good choice."

Shi Yi smiled and joked: "Teacher, don't you want me to join the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan?"

Yu Xiaogang had long been accustomed to Shi Yi's way of speaking, and said with a melancholy look on his face: "Joining a sect is not suitable for you. Most sects are developed from families. In the eyes of the sect's direct disciples, you are an outsider after all. Of course, in my opinion, the most suitable choice for you is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Because of the auxiliary spirit masters, they are the most neutral sect among the seven major sects."

"Why doesn't the teacher think highly of the Spirit Hall?" Shi Yi chuckled.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and said calmly, "They are the largest force on the continent. As far as I know, the number of Titled Douluo alone far exceeds that of other forces. Even a genius like you can easily be buried in such a force. You should know that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. If you join the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect or the Empire, both will use a lot of resources to train you, but the Spirit Hall will not."

"Hmm..." Shi Yi echoed in agreement.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang casually said, "Did anything unpleasant happen between you and Xiao San?"

"Teacher, I think it's better for you not to know. Sometimes pretending to be stupid is actually quite good." Shi Yi looked at Yu Xiaogang seriously and said.

"Stop talking nonsense. As your teacher, I don't want any of you to have any problems. Xiaosan's father also wants to know the truth." Yu Xiaogang stared at Shi Yi and said very seriously.

"Oh? It seems that Uncle Tang is also listening to us." Shi Yi said in surprise.

As Shi Yi was speaking, a man in a black robe appeared not far in front of the two of them. When they got closer, they saw Tang Hao's slightly weathered face.

Seeing this, Shi Yi bowed slightly and said politely: "Nice to meet you, Uncle Tang. I am Shi Yi."

“Well… I’ve seen you many times. You are quite good to be able to cultivate to this level under the condition of the first level of innateness.” Tang Hao’s voice was low, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

"Uncle Tang, you're too kind." Shi Yi chuckled.

"Can you tell me what happened between you and Xiao San? And what do you know about Xiao Wu's disappearance?" Tang Hao said lightly.

With Yu Xiaogang here, Shi Yi could probably guess that Tang Hao was not targeting him. Of course, if Tang Hao really wanted to kill him, he seemed to have no way to stop him.

Then Shi Yi started talking about how Tang San was captured half a year ago, how Tang San attacked and killed him, and finally how he even hired someone to kill him. He told him everything.

"This is the truth that you and Uncle Tang want to know. Of course, I don't think the teacher and Uncle Tang are likely to believe it." Shi Yi chuckled.

Shi Yi paused and continued, "Actually, Uncle Tang can go ask Dugu Bo. He is the most powerful witness. I just don't have the ability to invite this witness, so I haven't said anything. Even if I did, what would happen?"

The two of them were silent after hearing this. At this moment, they seemed to have become accomplices. Just as Shi Yi said, even if Shi Yi said it, what would happen? First of all, Shi Yi couldn't invite this witness. Even if there was a witness, what could Tang Hao, as a father, do to his son? What could Yu Xiaogang, as a teacher, do for Shi Yi?

“Perhaps as a senior brother, I shouldn’t have said those words to Xiao Wu. But fortunately, I still have some skills. I found the skills that Xiao San practiced every day in his soul guide. I used them as a threat and luckily survived from Dugu Bo’s hands.” Shi Yi said with a self-deprecating smile.

Tang Hao sighed slightly and said, "I'm really sorry about the mistress's matter. I have indeed neglected to discipline her over the years. If you have any requests or difficulties, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Shi Yi smiled and shook his head slightly, saying, "Forget it, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. I got those skills from Xiao San. Let's just leave it at that."

Hearing this, Tang Hao frowned slightly and said softly, "Just tell me a request, even if it's just a soul bone."

Shi Yi looked at Tang Hao and chuckled, "Uncle, do you trust me? Are you afraid that I will secretly attack Xiao San?"

Tang Hao was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I just hope this matter can end properly."

Shi Yi nodded and sighed, "Well, it seems that Uncle Tang will not feel at ease if I don't make some requests. Forget about the soul bones. I'm afraid Uncle Tang doesn't have any soul bones right now. Hunting high-level soul beasts may waste the lives of many high-level soul beasts. In this case, I dare to ask Uncle Tang to help me get a piece of whale glue that is 50,000 years old or above. I wonder if Uncle Tang can agree."

Tang Hao did not have any other questions about the effect of whale glue. He just nodded slightly and said, "Of course, this is not a difficult thing."

A hint of excitement flashed in Shi Yi's eyes. He bowed slightly to Tang Hao and said, "In that case, I would like to thank Uncle Tang."

Tang Hao nodded slightly and disappeared in front of the two of them in an instant. If Shi Yi guessed correctly, the most likely place Tang Hao would go at this time should be Yuexuan.

"Nowadays whale glue is not something that can be bought with money." Shi Yi thought to himself. After such a long time, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect must have monopolized the high-year whale glue.

Shi Yi was thinking when he felt someone pat him on the back of his head.

Shi Yi came to his senses, only to see Yu Xiaogang looking at him with a look of disappointment.

"Why do you want those things at such a young age? The Haotian Sect has a profound foundation. Can't you ask for a power-type ten thousand year soul bone?" Yu Xiaogang said with a dark face.

Shi Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Even if Uncle Tang can take out the soul bone, he still wants Xiao San first. Don't you understand this? What's the point of getting a piece of low-year rubbish? The magic of whale glue is not just for those things. Didn't you notice that Rongrong's thousand-year soul ring is darker than others?"

Yu Xiaogang was slightly startled, trying to recall something in his mind. He looked at Shi Yi with a slight surprise and asked in surprise: "You have researched a way to break through the limit of the spirit ring?"

Shi Yi smiled and patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder and said, "Teacher, when have we ever suffered a loss? Just wait and see my fourth spirit ring. It's not easy to get high-grade whale glue with money now."

"Have you cooperated with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, otherwise I couldn't afford that thing." Shi Yi chuckled.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Since you have your own plans, I won't say anything more."

Thinking of his other disciple, Yu Xiaogang sighed slightly and said, "I will have a good talk with Xiao San. I have failed as a teacher to the extent that I have done."

"You can't say that. Without you, would I be able to eat enough in the academy? Would I be able to see so much information about martial spirits and spirit beasts?" Shi Yi said with a smile. Yu Xiaogang smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

Shi Yi patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder and chuckled, "Don't say anything when you go back. Just pretend nothing happened. If you tell him, it will backfire. He might even think that I'm the one who complained. I realized a long time ago that Xiao San and I are not the same kind of people. I'll just stop associating with him after he receives the gifts. He won't be able to stay in this academy for long."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and sighed, "Yes, you will definitely shine in this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, and by then you will not be far from graduation."

"Let's go, let's go and see what to eat tonight." Shi Yi urged with a chuckle, gently pushing Yu Xiaogang towards the cafeteria.

On the other side, Tang Hao came to Yuexuan as Shi Yi expected. Tang Yuehua was excited to see his brother, and her face turned red after hearing Tang Hao's request.

Tang Hao felt a little embarrassed when he saw this, so he told Tang Yuehua what had happened.

The two did not have much time to exchange pleasantries and headed straight for the largest auction house in Tiandou under the cover of night. Night was also the time when the nobles wanted to buy these things, but when they arrived at the auction house they found out that all the high-aged whale glue had been bought out by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Only then did Tang Hao understand why Shi Yi made this request. It was obvious that Shi Yi could not buy it. Fortunately, with his strength, it was not difficult to hunt a 50,000-year-old whale soul beast.

So, Tang Hao said goodbye to Tang Yuehua and headed towards Hanhai City, the largest port city in the northwest of Tiandou.

After returning to Shrek Academy, Shi Yi accompanied Yu Xiaogang for dinner, then said hello to Yu Xiaogang and asked for a week's vacation. The reason was simple: Xiao Yi had not had any delicious food for a long time, so he took Xiao Yi to the outskirts of Sunset Forest to have a good meal.

Yu Xiaogang agreed to this very readily, and even thought that Shi Yi was actively avoiding Tang San to give Tang San space to calm down. Yu Xiaogang would never have thought that Shi Yi had other plans.

Shi Yi stayed in the dormitory for a while, and went to find Oscar to ask him for some mushroom sausages. Then he took advantage of the night and quickly headed south, which was exactly the opposite direction of Hanhai City where Tang Hao was heading. Shi Yi's real destination was the small village called Shenghun Village outside Notting City.

"I don't dare to carry a hundred thousand year soul bone with me. I hope Tang Hao won't carry such an important relic with him." Shi Yi hurried on his way, saying secretly in his heart.

If Shi Yi remembered correctly, in the original novel, Tang Hao took out the soul bone from the cave behind the waterfall.

Originally, Shi Yi didn't know how to get this soul bone from Tang San, but he didn't expect Tang Hao to deliver it to him, giving Shi Yi the opportunity to mobilize him.

Shi Yi traveled at full speed day and night and arrived at Nottingham two days later.

The first thing Shi Yi did when he arrived was to find a hotel to sleep without having time to reminisce about his childhood. At sunset, Shi Yi slowly walked out of the hotel. At this time, Shi Yi had become very different through simple dressing. He simply asked in the teahouse near the Notting Gate and headed towards the Holy Soul Village.

In this era, maps are strategic items. Even Shi Yi can only start searching from the vicinity of Holy Soul Village. Unlike in his previous life, there is no satellite navigation. Fortunately, Shi Yi has a clear target, which is the waterfall.

With this clue, Shi Yi only needs to ask about the waterfall along the way. Most of the villagers live off the mountains and the water, so it is easy to find out the approximate range. With Oscar's mushroom sausage, Shi Yi is not afraid of not being able to get up.

Soon, Shi Yi got a clue from a farmer who was collecting herbs.

Shi Yi bought a boat from a villager and arrived at the river that the farmer mentioned. Shi Yi summoned the little ant to sense it, but it did not sense any danger. Then Shi Yi rode the boat downstream and soon saw a cliff.

Shi Yi dragged the boat back to the shore. When he arrived in front of the cliff, he could hear the roar echoing from the valley, and the air became humid.

Looking down from the cliff, the valley shrouded by the setting sun seems to be covered with golden color, and the sunlight reflected on the water surface is like golden sand.

Shi Yi was not in a hurry. He called the little ant out again. After confirming that there was no danger, Shi Yi took the little ant back to eat the mushroom sausage. He looked at the wings that appeared behind him and then jumped down.

Unlike Tang San, Shi Yi went down from the upstream of the waterfall into the valley.

After entering the valley, Shi Yi suppressed his excitement, followed the edge of the pool and went behind the waterfall. He used his hand to test the impact of the waterfall.

"It seems that all these years of physical training have not been in vain. I can withstand such an impact." Shi Yi said secretly.

According to the description in the original book, the Blue Silver Emperor's cave was located dozens of meters above the waterfall. Shi Yi immediately had an image in his mind: if his soul power ran out in mid-air, he would touch the waterfall and be washed down from dozens of meters...

Shi Yi swallowed his saliva. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Being washed down from such a height by a waterfall would mean serious injuries even if he didn't die.

"Fortunately, I asked Oscar for a lot of mushroom sausages. Let's get started without further ado. It would be bad if the mushroom sausages were duds due to time constraints." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

There is a big gap between the rock wall and the waterfall, but Shi Yi knows that the gap will become narrower as you go up. Shi Yi took out his carving knife from his soul guide, and under Shi Yi's control, the carving knife instantly turned into a golden glove.

After Shi Yi put it on, without too much effort, his five fingers dug into the rock wall. Then, Shi Yi began to climb slowly. Looking at the towering rock wall and the waterfall, Shi Yi didn't know how many meters he had climbed.

Not long after, Shi Yi saw a slight crack on the rock wall in front of him. He walked around along the crack and found that it was obviously a portal as tall as a person.

Shi Yi fumbled around the entrance of the rock wall, looking for the raised stone mechanism mentioned in the original book. Shi Yi pressed down the raised stones around him one by one, but he had not finished yet.

"Buzz buzz buzz" the sound of friction between stones was heard, and a door slowly appeared in front of Shi Yi.

Shi Yi rushed in without any hesitation with a smile on his face.

Shi Yi entered the dark cave, found a torch from his soul guide, lit it, and the narrow cave instantly became bright.

Shi Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and with the help of the firelight, he slowly climbed up the cave and groped along the stone wall. After a while, on the top of a stone wall, Shi Yi saw the toy he had always dreamed of, a dusty box.

Opening the box, a crystal blue light emerged from the box.

At this moment, Shi Yi felt like he was playing a card drawing game from his previous life.

"Wow, a gold legend! Oh no, a blue legend!"

Shi Yi took out the soul bone from the box, put it into the soul guide, and threw the box away. As if he had thought of something, the corners of Shi Yi's mouth slightly raised. He picked up the box and murmured, "You are also a good thing. I almost threw you away."

With this thing, as long as it is operated properly, Shi Yi will have the opportunity to command Tang Hao once or even countless times, and he can hit wherever he points. After all, Tang Hao will go to see the soul bone box of his deceased wife no matter it is real or fake.

"I don't know which unlucky guy will offend me first."

Shi Yi looked at the planted Blue Silver Emperor body in the center of the stone chamber and fell into deep thought.
