The Great Thief of the Universe, Starting from Douluo

Chapter 47 Meeting
The province of Fasno is not far from the Spirit Hall, but the next afternoon, the group returned to the Spirit Hall.

This speed made Dugu Bo a little impatient. If they were not taking care of the useless Yu Xiaogang, and were just carrying two little kids, they would be able to fly back in a short while.

When the three titles entered the city, the soul masters guarding the city did not dare to delay for even a moment and quickly let them in.

"You two should go to the Soul Master Academy first."

Yue Guan glanced at Yu Xiaogang and said, "The academy has just started. If you have any questions, just mention my name."

Yu Xiaogang frowned, feeling looked down upon.

To be honest, after arriving in Wuhun City, he felt more confident when he thought about the relationship between himself and the current Pope. He was certain that Yue Guan would not dare to attack him in Wuhun City.

"Your Majesty, do you have something important to do?"

He looked at Yue Guan with a questioning tone in his voice.

Yue Guan didn't seem to hear what was said, and said nonchalantly, "It's not really a big deal. Xiao Wu has never seen the Holy Son, so she ran away secretly. I thought that since they are engaged, they should at least meet..."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang didn't react at all, but Tang San became anxious.

"Your Majesty, how can such a matter of marriage be arranged so hastily and so early? If Sister Xiao Wu doesn't like the Holy Son, wouldn't that ruin her life?"

Tang San spoke hurriedly, not caring whether he was being offensive or not.

When he thought that Xiao Wu might snuggle in the arms of another man in the future, he felt a pain in his heart and his blood boiled.

"That's why we have to meet each other."

Perhaps because they both have plant-type martial spirits, Yue Guan’s attitude towards Tang San is not as loving as Xiao Wu’s, but it is much better than that towards Yu Xiaogang.

Yue Guan said cheerfully, "You don't know, but this girl's two senior sisters are both in love with the Holy Son. If they weren't a few years older, this engagement wouldn't have fallen to Xiao Wu."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly when he heard this.

Although this so-called engagement was fake, he still felt uncomfortable when the old man Yue Guan used his granddaughter as a foil, as if no one wanted his Dugu family's daughter. He completely forgot about his previous behavior of pushing his granddaughter to Zhang San.

Noticing Dugu Bo's reaction, Yue Guan also chuckled: "One of them is the granddaughter of this old poisoner..."

"Humph, that's also your disciple."

Dugu Bo snorted and accepted his fate.

Zhang San neither took the initiative nor refused Dugu Yan's affection, and he didn't show any intention of taking responsibility.

Until one day, he couldn't hold it in any longer and asked Zhang San what his plan was. The boy actually said... Only children make choices?!
Damn beast!
If this kid wasn't so evil and his granddaughter really couldn't control him, he would have to break his legs!

Hearing the conversation between the two, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flashed, and then he put on a smile: "In that case, Xiao San and I are new here, so we should also pay a visit."

Tang San did not object. He also wanted to see what level the Son of God, who was engaged to Xiao Wu, was capable of.

It is undeniable that he felt jealous after hearing Yue Guan's exaggerated words, but in Tang San's opinion, it was more of a worry about Xiao Wu.

“That does make sense…”

Yue Guan nodded, but did not reject Yu Xiaogang's proposal.

Or perhaps, this is the ultimate purpose of his trip to Nottingham.

Soon, the group arrived at the Holy Son's Palace.

Since establishing his identity as the Holy Son, Zhang San moved to the Holy Son's Mansion.

Originally he didn't want to move, but Bibi Dong repeatedly emphasized that the Son of God should have the status of a Son of God, otherwise it would easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings and make people look down on his identity.

Of course, this is all bullshit.

The fundamental reason is that the Holy Son's Palace is right next to the Pope's Palace and is closer.

Because of Dugu Bo and the ghost protector's identities, the guards did not stop them at all, and the group entered the mansion.

The area of ​​the Holy Son's Mansion is not too large, but it is about the size of four football fields. The interior environment can also be described as luxurious. There are also plant-based soul masters taking care of the shrubs and flowers in the courtyard.

Soon, a gilded angel fountain statue appeared in the sight of several people. The angel held a sword high, and a fountain at the tip of the sword dropped a circular cover. The surging water splashed with colorful brilliance in the sun, and finally fell into the circular fountain pool at the feet of the angel.

Behind the fountain pool is a tall palace that is both grand and elegant.

"Meng Ji~"

Suddenly, a childish voice was heard. A few people looked in the direction of the sound and found that a white fur ball had appeared at Dugu Bo's feet at some point. It was scratching the back of its head with its hind paws, and its pair of blue eyes were looking at the people in front of it curiously.

Seeing this little white beast, Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up with a strange light, and her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

It’s Meng Ji!
It’s Third Brother’s Meng Ji!

"Here~"

Dugu Bo casually took out a piece of meat jerky and threw it to Meng Ji. The little guy suddenly jumped up and held the meat jerky in his mouth.

"Where is your master?"

"Meng Ji~"

Meng Ji raised his head and brought a few people to the garden behind the palace. In the garden, Zhang San was lying on the grass, resting his head on Dugu Yan's snake tail, squinting his eyes beautifully.

Dugu Yan remained in the state of being possessed by the martial spirit, and her slender and tender hands gently massaged Zhang San's head.

Ye Lingling, who was standing aside, had already taken off the black veil from her face. With a gentle smile on her beautiful face, she gently stroked a harp. The melodious sound of the harp spread far away, making the already peaceful atmosphere even more beautiful.

"Humph, that brat knows how to enjoy himself!"

Dugu Bo's face darkened, and he broke the beautiful atmosphere with a sound: "Yan Yan rarely takes a few days off, and she didn't even ask to accompany an old man like her!" "Grandpa, you are Xiao San's protector, so accompanying Xiao San is just like accompanying you..."

Seeing several people coming, Dugu Yan giggled, with a hint of shyness in her laughter, but her words were straightforward.

"That's right, why should we be so clear about our relationship..."

On the Dugu Yanshewei, Zhang San slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and said with a smile.

Pfft!
Xiao Wu's heart beat violently. Just looking at Zhang San's smile, she couldn't stop herself. She quickly lowered her head to avoid appearing abnormal and being noticed by Tang San.

Before Dugu Bo could scold him for being shameless, Zhang San turned his gaze away and looked at Xiao Wu who was lowering her head. "Is this my fiancée?"

Yue Guan gently nudged Xiao Wu and urged in a low voice, "I haven't met His Highness yet."

"Xiao Wu greets His Highness."

Xiao Wu lowered her head and her voice sounded timid.

Zhang San nodded lightly, his eyes swept across Xiao Wu's face and looked at Master Tang San and his disciple.

“These two are…”

"This is Tang San, a good seedling I discovered in Notting City. He is also a natural full soul power, plant-type martial soul Blue Silver Grass."

Yue Guan introduced cheerfully, "This is Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang."

"Full innate soul power, blue silver grass..."

Zhang San nodded in understanding, then smiled meaningfully: "Yu Xiaogang? The master who claims to be invincible in theory?"

"I don't dare to call myself a master, I just have some experience in martial spirit research."

Before Tang San could speak, Yu Xiaogang spoke first.

According to Yue Guan, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall in front of him was the one who broke his theory, so he didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Zhang San.

Moreover, he never expected that the Holy Son of Spirit Hall was actually about the same age as Tang San!

However, as a master of theory, he was unwilling to bow his head and greet Zhang San.

"I came here this time because I heard that Your Excellency the Saint Son had broken my theory on the limits of spirit rings. That's why I came to ask for your advice. I wonder if I would be honored to see Your Excellency's spirit ring configuration?"

"Of course, but before that, I have a question I would like to ask the Master."

Zhang San looked at Yu Xiaogang cheerfully, "Master, do you know the essential difference between a thousand-year spirit ring and a ten-thousand-year spirit ring?"

"It's the amount of energy, of course!"

Yu Xiaogang puffed out his chest and said confidently, "Once a soul beast reaches ten thousand years old, the energy contained in its soul ring will become more intense, and the color of the soul ring will also change!"

"laugh--"

As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, before Zhang San could speak, the three titles beside him laughed out loud.

Yu Xiaogang's expression suddenly changed, realizing that he had probably made a fool of himself.

"How much energy, ouch hahaha..."

Yue Guan laughed so hard he fell backwards: "As expected of an invincible theory!"

Yu Xiaogang's face flushed, but he still tried to save face: "If Your Majesty has any objections, please speak directly!"

"Okay, then let me tell you!"

Yue Guan raised his orchid finger and said cheerfully, "Once a spirit ring reaches ten thousand years old, not only will the energy within it undergo a qualitative change, it will also contain the spirit will of the spirit beast, causing a soul shock to the absorber!"

"Generally speaking, only when a soul master reaches the Soul King realm can he initially be qualified to resist soul shock. This is why the optimal soul ring ratio is to absorb the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at the fifth ring!"

After Yu Xiaogang asked this question, his face suddenly turned red and he was extremely embarrassed.

However, noticing Tang San's puzzled look, he quickly calmed down and tried to save his face.

"This... I really don't know. After all, due to the limitations of my talent, I could only cultivate to level 29. Later, some problems arose, and I had to work in isolation. I'm sorry to have embarrassed Your Majesty!"

"What's so funny about this..."

Yue Guan chuckled, "But I remember that Elder Yu once thoroughly read through the collection of books in our Spirit Hall. How could he not know this kind of basic knowledge? Could it be that he was too busy talking about love and pretending to be nice in front of the girl he liked?"

"nonsense!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt like his tail was stepped on, and his face turned completely red!
"Okay, Grandpa Ju..."

Zhang San waved his hand gently, and Yue Guan rolled his eyes and stopped making things difficult for Yu Xiaogang.

"I've read your article on the ten core competencies of martial spirits. While the content isn't particularly impressive, the conjectures it proposes are somewhat feasible. Overall, there's some substance, but not much."

Zhang San glanced at Yu Xiaogang and said, "Since you've joined our Spirit Hall, then continue your studies. Don't let others see our Spirit Hall as a laughing stock. If you can produce decent research results, I can even help you break through the bottleneck."

Break through the bottleneck!

The four big words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Yu Xiaogang's heart heavily.

For a moment, even his breathing became rapid.

But...results?
What results?
What a joke! With my relationship with the Pope, as long as the Pope says so, would you dare not help me?

　The number of words is a bit less. My wife had a headache and went to bed early these two days. She complained that the noise I made when typing on the keyboard was too loud and we didn’t have enough time. I have been sleeping during the day and typing at night recently, so I don’t like making too much noise. Therefore, I didn’t update enough in the past two days and kept asking for leave. I am adjusting to the time difference these two days. It will be fine in a day or two!
