The Great Thief of the Universe, Starting from Douluo

Chapter 43 Naked Choke (6K)

Zhang San didn't go to Tang Hao after all.

The Clear Sky Hammer is the world's number one weapon spirit, and its power is one thing, but the reason why the Clear Sky Sect can sit firmly at the top of the three sects is not just this reason.

Ring explosion!

This is the fundamental reason why the Haotian Sect has remained so powerful to this day.

Originally, Bibi Dong was persuaded by Zhang San and wanted to help Tang San defeat the troublesome Tang Hao.

However, after consulting Guimei, Zhang San temporarily gave up this idea.

According to Guimei, when Tang Hao first became a Titled Douluo, he and Yue Guan were already veteran Titled Douluo at level 95, and they had joined forces with Qian Xunji, who was also a Titled Douluo, to beat up Tang Hao.

As a result, Tang Hao used a wave of ring explosions to seriously injure all three of them.

Although he and Yue Guan, a pair of brothers in distress, have now reached the realm of Super Douluo at level 96, their martial soul fusion skills can be limited to level 98.

But if Tang Hao counterattacks on the verge of death, launches a wave of nine rings and a big Xumi hammer, everyone present will be buried with Tang Hao...

Although Zhang San felt that it was a bit outrageous, after referring to the performance of the Clear Sky Hammer in the book, he decided to play it safe first.

Once again, she came to Xiao Wu's dream space. The little girl's eyes were as bright as autumn water, shimmering with watery light. She looked deeply at Zhang San and called softly, "Third Brother~"

The sound seemed to be damp, and Zhang San felt a burning sensation in his heart and inexplicably restless.

"Tang Hao is a bit tricky, and we can't defeat him. I'll need you to stay here for a while..."

As Zhang San was speaking, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head and he paused.

Xiao Wu pouted when she heard this: "Xiao Wu wants to stay with Third Brother..."

“It’s not that there is no way…”

Zhang San was thoughtful when he recalled the idea in the original novel that the master let Shrek join Tiandou Academy in order to lay eggs by borrowing chickens.

The master will definitely not give up on Tang San, the disciple with twin martial souls.

Even though Tang Hao has a grudge against the Spirit Hall, if there is a chance for Tang San to borrow Spirit Hall resources to grow, I think he would not refuse?
And the most crucial point is that Bibi Dong still holds the method of cultivating twin martial souls. If there is a chance, Yu Xiaogang will definitely not miss it.

In addition, if Tang San came to Wuhun City, it would not be convenient for Tang Hao to stay with Tang San all the time.

The only question is, will Bibi Dong be fooled by Yu Xiaogang's words and rekindle their old love?
Even though Bibi Dong had just said she wanted to kill Yu Xiaogang, Zhang San wasn't sure if she was serious or just talking nonsense. If she was just bragging, wouldn't he end up losing more than he gained?

"Wait a little longer. This holiday is crucial for Tang San. You must take this opportunity to bind Tang San's feelings for you."

Zhang San thought for a moment, a malicious smile forming on his lips: "After a while, when your cultivation reaches level 20, I will transfer you back..."

Xiao Wu pouted and said "oh" unhappily.

The next second, there was a crisp sound, and a blush quickly appeared on the little girl's face.

"Be obedient and wait for you to come back. There will be plenty of time for you to enjoy..."

Zhang San spoke softly. The dream world is hard to control. There are always some strange things appearing...

Because the dream was hazy and the direction was unclear, Xiao Wu could only hold on to the corner of Zhang San's clothes tightly and push her body forward, trying to see Zhang San's face more clearly.

Not long after, she suddenly woke up from the bed like a drowning person, gasping for breath, as if she had had a terrible nightmare.

"Sister Xiaowu, are you okay?"

Noticing Xiao Wu's movements, Wang Sheng and his younger brothers in the dormitory hurried forward and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I just had a nightmare..."

Xiao Wu yawned nonchalantly, turned over and continued to sleep, her white and tender legs rubbing against each other gently under the quilt. No one could see the joy and desire faintly reflected in her eyes...

Soon, the school year ended and the holidays arrived.

"Sister Xiaowu, tomorrow is the holiday. Do you want to go home?"

After Tang San packed his luggage, he saw Xiao Wu sitting absentmindedly beside the school flower bed, and hurried forward to ask.

Xiao Wu's heart moved, and a bit of loneliness appeared in her eyes: "I won't go home. Maybe I will stay in the academy..."

This loneliness was not pretended. After being out for so long, she really missed the Star Dou Great Forest.

Moreover, she didn't know when they would meet again from Zhang San's side. Although they could see each other in her dreams every day, the unreality and haziness made her more eager and expectant.

"It's been a year, don't you go home to visit?"

Xiao Wu shook her head, and then her eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiao San, your home is not far from the academy? How about I go back with you to play? What do you think? Anyway, Wang Sheng and Xiao Chenyu are going to take the Intermediate Spirit Master Academy exam, so there is no one to play with me."

Tang San smiled when he heard this.

During this year, Xiao Wu had done a lot to resolve the conflicts between him and Wang Sheng and the others. Because of the disappearance of his soul power, Xiao Wu had also been taking good care of him, which made him have a vague affection for this lovely little girl.

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, he felt inexplicably happy.

However, thinking about his own penniless situation and Xiao Wu's somewhat extraordinary background, he also felt a little inferior in his heart: "My family is very poor, and I don't have anything good to treat you."

"joke!"

Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips: "Sister Xiao Wu, do you still need to entertain me?"

On weekdays at school, her younger brother would treat her to meals, so she didn't have any other expenses. She still had a lot of gold soul coins left by Zhang San.

Tang San obviously knew something about it. Although he was not sure about Xiao Wu's background, she would often treat him to meals out, and he did not seem to be short of money.

What is Xiao Wu’s origin?

Tang San was a little curious, but he didn't ask any further questions.

To be honest, Tang San was still relatively innocent at this time, but once his own interests were involved, it was hard to say...

Tang San smiled and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, you can go if you want, but my father has a bad temper."

"I'm so cute, your dad will definitely like me!"

Xiao Wu chuckled and scoffed in her heart, your father won't be showing up in the short term...

The next morning, the two left the academy. Xiao Wu skipped along the way, following Tang San all the way to the Holy Soul Village.

In the past few days, Tang San finally broke through the peak of level seven and his soul power reached level eight.

The speed of his recovery was much faster than the last time. According to his estimation, he would be able to return to level ten in five months at most.

However, Xiao Wu's training speed made him a little shocked. This girl already had level 16 soul power and was the best in the academy.

At the beginning, Xiao Chenyu and his group of senior students could still compete with her, but as Xiao Wu's strength increased, there is now no student in the academy who can compete with her.

Tang San was also full of envy. If his soul power had not disappeared, he should be as radiant as Xiao Wu now.

Thinking about how Xiao Wu was usually treated like a big sister and was the center of attention, Tang San felt a surge of longing in his heart.

Different from the original novel, because of the change in strength and Xiao Wu's daily care, Tang San now has more admiration for Xiao Wu than the competition in the original novel.

Xiao Wu looked around all the way and finally lost her patience and asked, "How far is it?"

"We're almost there. Do you see that mountain? Our Holy Soul Village is at the foot of it."

They were almost home, and Tang San was obviously excited and eager to return home.

He reached out and touched the Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night around his waist. This was the soul guide Yu Xiaogang had given him before he left. It contained his bedding, clothes, a few bottles of good wine, and a brand new forging hammer.

Although he didn't work as a full-time worker in a blacksmith shop like in the original novel, he would occasionally do part-time work due to his love for hidden weapons. This forging hammer was made by him, and he also made a hidden arrow for himself.

"Look, that's my home."

Soon, the two entered the village and came to the entrance. Tang San pointed to a dilapidated house at the entrance, and then rushed into the house impatiently.

"Dad, I'm back!"

Tang San shouted excitedly, but no one responded.

Xiao Wu followed him into the house, which was in a mess and in tatters.

"Is Xiao San back?"

Old Jack walked out from the inner room, and Tang San was stunned.

"Grandpa Jack, you are here too. Where is my father?"

"Look, this is what your father left behind. I came to see him this morning and wanted him to go to Jenny's with me, but I didn't expect you to be back already."

Handing Tang San a piece of paper, Old Jack smiled bitterly.

Tang San took it and took a look. Xiao Wu came forward and took a look as well, then silently stuck out her tongue.

Third brother is indeed very good at predicting things!

Zhang San had already told her in advance what would happen when she followed Tang San to the Holy Soul Village. She just had to follow Zhang San's instructions, seize this opportunity, and completely control Tang San.

Soon, the sun was setting, and Tang San and Xiao Wu were sitting in front of the blacksmith shop.

Tang San was immersed in the loss of his father's departure, while Xiao Wu was lost in thought about Zhang San.

I have to train a dog today, so it’s not convenient to fall asleep.

Ugh, I miss my third brother so much...

Xiao Wu silently squeezed her legs together, feeling a little impatient.

Tang San, the taciturn guy, has been sitting here for quite some time without even saying a word, yet she still has to pretend to be sympathetic...

"Xiao Wu, thank you..."

Tang San spoke suddenly, making Xiao Wu feel relieved.

Then she tilted her head: "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for always being with me and taking care of me..."

Tang San lowered his head, his tone dejected.

Xiao Wu chuckled. This was probably what Third Brother said, taking advantage of a girl’s sympathy to shake her heart. It seemed to be called... Piyou, right?
Have you ever taken care of Tang San?
It is true that there is, but it is only the care between ordinary friends. She also cares about other younger brothers if they are bullied.

Although I tried to improve his favor, this taciturn guy never gave me any good opportunities.

But Tang San said this as if he was very special to him...

"It's okay. Your father is just leaving temporarily. Maybe there are other reasons. Don't be sad!"

"Maybe, but why didn't he let me see him again? Xiao Wu, do you know? Dad is my only relative. Without Dad, home is no longer a home."

So why are you telling me all this? And you don't even call me sister anymore?
I have to say that even if you are in love, you can still be very clear-headed when you don’t like someone.

Xiao Wu was very clear-headed at this time. Zhang San had been instilling this kind of scumbag routine into her over the past year to prevent her from turning her fake feelings into reality.

So after understanding the trick, Xiao Wu just wanted to laugh.

This guy really can't wait to use his tragic temperament to pick up girls as soon as his father passed away?

Well, I still prefer the naked aggression and possessiveness of the third brother...

Although she was speechless at Tang San's words, Xiao Wu still seized the opportunity. "Even without Dad, you still have a friend like me! After all, you've been calling me Sister Xiao Wu for so long, so I don't mind being your sister!"

The little girl's cute face was rosy under the afterglow of the setting sun. Seeing Xiao Wu's cute look, Tang San was in a trance.

"If you're willing to be my sister..."

"I don't want it~"

Before Tang San could finish, Xiao Wu curled her lips: "Sister Xiao Wu wants to be a sister!"

Hearing this, Tang San chuckled and rushed out in a flash: "Then Xiao Wu, come up the mountain with me. I'll show you something."

Tang San looked very serious, as if he had made up his mind. Xiao Wu nodded and followed him.

On the way, seeing Xiao Wu following him, Tang San reached out and wanted to hold Xiao Wu's hand, but Xiao Wu dodged and looked at him puzzledly: "What are you going to do?"

"Uh, I'm afraid you don't know the way."

Tang San was a little embarrassed and his face turned red.

Soon, the two arrived at the top of the mountain. Tang San faced the setting sun, his eyes filled with purple. "Xiao Wu, this is where I used to practice martial arts. I want to ask you a serious question, and I hope you can answer me seriously."

Xiao Wu tilted her head: "What's the problem?"

Tang San slowly turned around, his face serious: "Will you be my sister? I really hope to have a relative."

Before Xiao Wu could say anything, she was stopped by Tang San.

"Listen to me first. I have nothing. You've seen my family's situation. I'm just a poor commoner. I can't give you wealth or power. You also have innate full soul power, but you're different from me. I can see that you must have a story, but I never asked because I was afraid that the gap between our backgrounds was too big and we couldn't even be friends..."

Listening to what Tang San said: I really hope to have a sister like you. Although I can't give you what the nobles have, I can give you my promise to always protect my sister and never let her get hurt...

What a satisfying fart!
Knowing that I am not an ordinary person, you still dare to approach me?

That Grandpa Jack cares about you so much, isn't he considered family?
Also, is there any necessary connection between whether your family is poor and recognizing a sister?
Humph, a stuffy guy...

If it weren't for Third Brother's reminder, I wouldn't have been fooled by you...

"I don't want to be a younger sister. I just don't want to be a younger sister!"

Xiao Wu snorted softly, "Sister Xiao Wu is so powerful, there's no reason for her to be someone's younger sister!"

Tang San's eyes were red and tears glistened with emotion. When he heard the words, he suddenly stopped and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

I am moved by what you said, aren’t you moved too?

"But if I remember correctly, your birthday is in August, right? A few months younger than me?"

Tang San's tone was awkward, with a hint of embarrassment at having his little secrets exposed.

"So what? Wang Sheng Xiao Chenyu is already in his teens, and he still calls me Sister Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Wu raised her head and said coquettishly, "When you were bullied, you still had to rely on Sister Xiao Wu to protect you. Why should Sister Xiao Wu be your younger sister?"

Tang San felt awkward and was in a dilemma for a moment.

He really couldn't refute this. After all, his soul power was only level eight, only half of Xiao Wu's.

But the reborn person felt a little embarrassed to be asked to be a younger brother, and being a younger brother would make him inferior to the other person in some way. For some psychological reason that he himself could not quite understand, he instinctively wanted to avoid this kind of relationship.

After thinking about it, Tang San felt that it would be better to give up, but when he turned around, he was stopped by Xiao Wu's words.

"Come to think of it, don't you just want a family? What's the harm in calling me Sister Xiaowu?"

Xiao Wu pretended to be confused: "Or do you have any other ideas?"

"No! How could it be?"

Tang San suddenly felt embarrassed as if his thoughts had been exposed, and waved his hands helplessly: "Then Sister Xiao Wu, are you willing to be my family?"

"sure!"

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "In this case, you will be Sister Xiao Wu's younger brother from now on! Call me sister and let me hear it!"

"…elder sister."

Tang San reluctantly spoke, and Xiao Wu immediately started to giggle.

Seeing Xiao Wu's happy expression, Tang San also smiled. Although he felt a little unwilling in his heart, no matter what, the relationship between the two had taken a step forward. It was hard to say who would be the older brother and who would be the older sister in the future.

Thinking of this, he pulled up his sleeves and took off the arrow on his left wrist.

"We are siblings. I don't have anything I had before, so I'll give this to you, Xiao Wu, for self-defense. It's my first piece."

Is this the hidden weapon that Third Brother mentioned?
Xiao Wu was a little surprised, but still followed Tang San's instructions and took the hidden arrow.

It's a very interesting little item. I can give it to my third brother to play with later.
"Sister Xiaowu..."

"Ok?"

"I will protect you."

Looking at the starry sky, Tang San once again put on a deep look.

"Although I don't know why my soul power disappeared, I will be able to catch up again in no time after rebuilding it. I will definitely protect you and will not let you get hurt. This is my lifelong promise."

Tang San said lightly, as if he was moved by his own words.

Xiao Wu nodded, not quite understanding, and said "oh" without saying anything else.

She was afraid of laughing out loud...

Protect?

On the first day that my aunt arrived in the human world, she was caught red-handed by her third brother and forced to sign a contract to sell herself. Even her life was in the hands of the other party.

Although... this feels pretty good.

However, facing such a powerful being who also has twin spirits, has the support of the Spirit Hall, has already locked onto the inheritance of the gods, and can even plunder away your soul power at any time, what can you use to protect yourself?
Not to mention that Third Brother has already locked onto you, even Sister Xiao Wu can't hide your little tricks!
Sitting on the rocks on the top of the mountain, Xiao Wu recalled the handsome face with a playful smile, hugged her knees silently, and her face turned slightly red.

The evening breeze suddenly blew across her face, and she suddenly woke up. Realizing her loss of composure, she cleared her throat.

"Well, by the way... since you gave Sister Xiaowu something, Sister Xiaowu won't take advantage of you!"

As she spoke, she took out a piece of bone emitting a dim fluorescence from her storage soul guide and handed it to Tang San: "You absorb this."

Tang San was slightly startled: "This is..."

"Soul bone!"

Xiao Wu giggled and said that this soul bone was left by Zhang San, and asked her to find a chance to give it to Tang San to absorb.

"Soul bone?!"

Tang San's eyes widened immediately. After studying with Yu Xiaogang for a year, he naturally knew what spirit bones were.

"This...this is too precious, Sister Xiaowu."

"Nothing valuable."

Xiao Wu shook her head: "It's just a hundred-year soul bone. Although it's rare, its value is not high. If you absorb it, it should allow your soul power to recover faster. Hurry and absorb it!"

"What kind of soul beast's soul bone is this?"

Tang San asked curiously. Although Yu Xiaogang didn't have any real skills, he still understood that soul bones couldn't be absorbed randomly.

"A two-hundred-year-old vine snake's left arm bone. I was originally thinking of finding an opportunity to sell it for money, but I forgot I ran away from home, and taking it out casually might bring disaster..."

Xiao Wu pouted and said pitifully, "I can't sell it, so why don't you keep it, Xiao San?"

Tang San hesitated: "This spirit bone is... Sister Xiao Wu, did you bring it from home?"

"So what? It's just a hundred-year-old soul bone. It's not a valuable thing."

Xiao Wu looked nonchalant: "It's not even enough to sell Sister Xiao Wu's pocket money. If you suck it, then suck it. Who dares to say anything?"

These words were said with great dignity, which dispelled many of Tang San's doubts. At least he didn't have to worry about the other party's family finding out and killing him to take his bones.

But it also indirectly shows that Xiao Wu's family is very powerful...

Looking at the soul bone in his hand, Tang San took a deep breath.

Although the age is a bit low, Tang San has no choice at this stage. Let alone spirit bones, he doesn't even have a spirit ring now. He is just a little country bumpkin. A hundred-year spirit bone is a treasure that he can hardly come across.

Moreover, according to Yu Xiaogang's plan, his future soul rings will try to focus on poisonous snakes.

Although the vine snake is non-venomous, it is agile and flexible, and has a good compatibility with the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit.

Thinking of this, Tang San nodded silently: "Thank you, Sister Xiao Wu!"

"Hey, why are you meeting your sister? Come on, suck it!"

Xiao Wu held her chin and looked at Tang San expectantly.

Tang San didn't want to disappoint Xiao Wu, so he sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the soul bone.

The two hundred year old spirit bone was no problem for Tang San now. He completely absorbed the spirit bone in just half an hour.

"Level 8 Peak..."

Slowly opening his eyes, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the surging soul power in his body, and couldn't help but feel happy.

"How come it's only less than a level higher?"

Xiao Wu looked as if the sky had fallen: "I heard that the golden period for soul masters to cultivate is before the age of twenty. After the age of twenty, the cultivation speed will drop sharply. That's why they let you absorb this soul bone. However, this amount of soul power increase is not enough compared to a soul bone..."

"very good already!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's increasingly aggrieved look, Tang San hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

"This level will save me at least three months of hard training. As the saying goes, one step faster, every step faster. In less than two days, I'll be able to break through to level nine, so I can return to level ten by the end of the holiday! According to my teacher's prediction, it would take me two and a half years to reach level ten! And now it's only taken me a year! This speed is already a miracle!"

"really?"

Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes, looking pitiful: "You won't blame me?"

"really!"

Tang San quickly assured: "How could I blame you, Sister Xiao Wu?"

"All right…"

Xiao Wu pouted. "Hey, you said that yourself! Don't accuse me of hindering your development in the future..."

"Don't worry, Xiao San, next time Sister Xiao Wu will at least find a thousand-year soul bone!"

Trying hard to squeeze out a few tears, Xiao Wu sniffed: "By the way, what is your soul bone skill?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention..."

Tang San chuckled: "The soul bone skill of this soul bone is called Vine Snake Strangulation. It is a physical skill, a bit like your soft skill, Xiao Wu Jie, which can restrain the opponent from behind..."

Xiao Wu listened to Tang San's description and gradually understood what he meant. Isn't that a naked choke?
This soul bone skill is really useless!

　Six thousand words today! Tomorrow I'll challenge you to write ten thousand words, but of course it'll still be at least six thousand! Sorry, I took two days off, I'll make up for it as soon as possible!
