Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 14 Butterfly Fluttering Wings
An hour later.

The three of them walked along the stream and entered a bamboo forest.

"Growing in groups, green and thick like ink, these bamboo soul beasts are all black bamboo." The driver looked at the bamboo forest and explained to Tang San and the others:
"Although the bamboo forest is so large, most of the black bamboos have not been cultivated for more than ten years."

"The deeper you go into the bamboo forest, the higher the Mozhu's cultivation will be."

"Looking at the scale of this bamboo forest, in the deepest part of the forest, there should be black bamboos that have cultivated for 400 years."

Sure enough, deep in the bamboo forest, Tang San and his companions found seven or eight black bamboos with a cultivation base of about four hundred years.

The driver observed carefully, found the oldest black bamboo, and cleared all the black bamboos around it.

Then, the driver handed Tang San a lit tinderbox and said:
"Only the soul beasts that you kill yourself can absorb the soul rings they produce."

"Just throw this fire stick over there and slowly burn the black bamboo to death."

Tang San did as the driver said and threw the fire starter in his hand onto the black bamboo pole.

Soon, the flames engulfed the entire black bamboo. The raging fire burned for several hours before the black bamboo with tenacious vitality died completely.

A deep yellow soul ring condensed above the dying flame.

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua bowed her head and told Tang San: "Go, Xiao San, do it according to the method I taught you."

"Yeah." Tang San responded, then walked to the soul ring and sat down, practicing Xuan Tian Gong to begin absorbing the black bamboo soul ring.

dark place.

Tang Hao silently watched Tang San absorb the spirit ring. Seeing that no accidents would happen, he quietly left the Soul Hunting Forest and headed towards the Holy Soul Village.

The speed of a Titled Douluo is extremely fast. Even though Tang Hao is not a Titled Douluo of the Agility Attack system, if he travels at full speed, it will take him less than a day to get back to the Holy Soul Village from the Soul Hunting Forest.

A few hours later.

"what?"

Tang Hao, who was passing through Notting City, seemed to have seen something incredible. He, who usually did not show his emotions, actually made a sound of surprise.

On the streets of Notting City, a six-year-old girl with long braids was skipping towards Notting College, completely unaware that a Titled Douluo was watching her in the dark.

"A hundred thousand year old transformed soul beast actually appeared here. Is this God's will?"

If Tang Yuehua had not come to him, Tang San would have gone to Notting College to study and become a part-time student there like the rabbit. This was how the fate between Tang San and Xiao Wu began.

Tang Hao was conflicted, but hatred eventually prevailed.

"Xiao San and Yue Hua left together, so Xiao San and this rabbit are just not meant to be together after all."

"Ah Yin, I'm sorry. This rabbit can be of great help to Xiao San. The enemy of the Spirit Hall is too strong. I can only do this."

After making up his mind, Tang Hao acted quickly and kidnapped the girl with long braids on the street.

His attack was so fast that no passerby could see it clearly.

So, passers-by wondered if they were having an illusion, because there was clearly a little girl walking on the street just now.

Outside the Holy Soul Village, in a cave somewhere.

Tang Hao looked at the unconscious girl and comforted himself:
"It is natural for soul masters to hunt soul beasts. Although you have transformed into a human like Ah Yin, you have not yet reached maturity and cannot be considered a real person."

"I didn't mean to do this. You showed up in front of me on your own. You can't blame me."

"When Xiao San obtained your spirit ring and spirit bone, it also completed the fate between you and Xiao San."

After saying that, Tang Hao put the girl into a soul guide that could store living things, stared in a certain direction for a long time, and finally left the cave.

……

Notting College.

Today is the first day of the school year. A middle-aged man with a decadent temperament stood at the entrance of the school, feeling that he had missed something important.

"Is it my imagination?"

Yu Xiaogang whispered imperceptibly, then laughed bitterly and said self-deprecatingly:
"What am I expecting?"

Somewhere in the academy, an ordinary middle-aged man was secretly watching all this.

Not long after, above the clouds, a spine-tailed swift with a cultivation base of just over a hundred years old flew rapidly.

If someone could see this scene, they would find that there was a letter tied to the feet of this spine-tailed swift, and it was flying towards Tiandou City.

A few days later.

Lin's Duke's Mansion.

Lin Rong put down the secret letters in his hand, and a soul power appeared in his palm. The next moment, all the secret letters turned into powder and scattered in the wind.

"Grandpa Yu, tell the secret sentries to keep a closer eye on the situation. Unless there are any emergencies, they only need to report once a month."

"Also, train more Spine-tailed Swifts."

"The Min clan is destined to be impossible for me to use, so I have to put more effort into this."

"For any force, having a well-developed and complete intelligence network is crucial."

"I understand, young master. Please rest assured." The old butler responded and immediately set about arranging these matters.

The Spine-tailed Swift is the fastest flying soul beast known in Douluo Continent, bar none.

Even the Emerald Bird, which is famous for its speed, is far inferior to the Spine-tailed Swift with the same level of cultivation.

But everything has its pros and cons. Unlike the Emerald Bird, which has both extreme speed and terrifying attack power, the Spine-tailed Swift's extreme speed is achieved at the expense of its lethality to the enemy.

The Min clan, which has the Spine-tailed Swift martial spirit, has all its members as pure Mind-type spirit masters.

Although it does not have offensive capabilities, it is an excellent sentinel.

The Min clan has such strategic value, but no force in the entire continent is aware of it. It can only be said that the thinking of people in this era is still too limited.

The Min clan has great potential value, but Lin Rong has no intention of recruiting them.

It’s just because Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, is Tang San’s uncle, and has blood ties with the Haotian Sect.

Four clans with single attributes: strength, defense, destruction, and agility.

The leader of the Strength Clan, Titan, is a die-hard fan of Tang Hao, and the leader of the Agility Clan is Tang San's uncle.

This time, two of the four were gone.

Among them, Titan has a very deep friendship with Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu clan, and Bai He has a very good relationship with Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Po clan.

If Lin Rong successfully recruited the Yu and Po tribes and they did not oppose Tang San, it would be fine. But once they did, because of Titan and Bai He, these two tribes would most likely rebel.

So, Lin Rong decided not to recruit any of these four clans with single attributes.

However, whether you recruit or not, you can't avoid dealing with them.

Apart from anything else, there is something on Bai He that Lin Rong is determined to get.

There is also a list of medicinal herbs of the Poyi clan, detoxification pills, etc., which are related to the plan for the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, a rare treasure land.

The remaining Li and Yu clans are much less valuable.

The Li clan is good at forging, and the Yu clan is good at construction. These skills are not exclusive to these two clans. They are just outstanding, but not unique.
