Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 51: Stranger

Gula opened his eyes and felt a throbbing pain in his chest and sides, with dark red liquid oozing out. The shirt he had bought and worn only a few days ago turned to ashes.

The dark red liquid quickly hardened and solidified when it came into contact with the air. The lava "scales" the size of a baby's palm were arranged in order, and as the dark red liquid flowed on the surface of the body, they were shaped into a dark red armor.

Flames were attached to the surface of the armor, flickering with Gula's breathing. The intense heat caused the surrounding grass to lose water and dry up, burning out.

"Soul bone, or an external soul bone second only to a hundred thousand year soul ring!"

Tang Hao's heart tightened, and a hint of greed and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

This is normal. Ordinary soul masters may become enemies when facing a thousand-year soul bone, let alone an external soul bone that can grow outside the regular position.

Gula sensed the impending danger and took a few steps towards Tang San, speechless in his heart:

"I still underestimated the value of the external spirit bone. If Tang Hao attacks me, don't blame me for using Tang San as a shield."

Fortunately, Tang Hao quickly regained his senses from his greed. He had all six soul bones and could not fuse this external soul bone that obviously needed to be connected to the torso bone.

Tang San could fuse them, but the fire-attributed soul bone and the blue silver grass martial soul were mutually exclusive. If they were to be forced into a fusion, there was a high probability of conflict. Once the martial soul was damaged, the gains would be greater than the losses.

Tang Hao thought clearly about the gains and losses, suppressed the greed and entanglement in his heart, closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind, and returned to his decadent appearance.

Gula felt that the sense of crisis had disappeared, but he did not relax. Instead, he became alert.

"Compared to Tang San, who lived two lives, Tang Hao, who came from one of the three upper sects, is full of arrogance and looks down on everyone equally. He used to be like this in the village and even rolled his eyes at Jack, who took care of him."

"I seem to have a good relationship with Tang San, and we're even sworn brothers, but in his eyes it's probably just childish play, nothing compared to his quest for revenge."

Gula didn't show it on his face, but he sneered in his heart.

"Haha, Tang Hao's hatred for the Spirit Hall is probably due to the fact that his sect was being hunted, which is greater than the so-called revenge for the murder of his wife."

"Besides, he is middle-aged and his ideas are firm. He won't change easily. Today, because of the murderous intent revealed by his soul bone, if I go against his decision in the future, I'm afraid he will beat me with fists and kicks and use the Clear Sky Hammer."

"He and I are not the same kind of people after all."

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant, and Gula sighed: "It's still not strong enough. A ten thousand year soul beast is nothing. I guess it can't withstand Tang Hao's hammer."

The arrogance of hunting ten thousand year old soul beasts subsided. Gula glanced into the future and made sure that Tang Hao would not attack him. He thought quickly and made a plan against him.

"The Spirit Hall can be further strengthened, and the theory of spirit evolution can be published."

"Want revenge? Dream on!"

For a top-level martial spirit like the Clear Sky Hammer to evolve, it would take dozens of generations of effort before there is even a slight chance of success.

There are a lot of low-level and mid-level martial spirits in the Spirit Hall, accounting for 99% of the total number of people. With the publication of the theory of martial spirit evolution, it goes without saying that the force that benefits the most is the one.

Gula is such a vengeful person.

Of course, since it concerns the power of faith, Gula cannot give up most of the low-level soul masters in the soul master world, and will publish the theory of martial soul evolution sooner or later.

Tang Hao's action today was just to encourage Gula to publish the paper ahead of time, but it did not prevent Gula from setting a trap for Tang Hao.

Tang San didn't know that in just a few seconds, he was one step closer to becoming a fatherless child again. With a surprised expression, he said:
"Brother, is this a soul bone? But why is it in this style?"

Xiao Wu leaned forward and reached out to touch it. Gula retracted the flames, and the armor turned obsidian black.

She exclaimed in surprise, "It's so hot, and it looks like the lava armor of the Fire Lord."

"This is an external soul bone. Different from the special soul bones in the six major parts, it is often connected to the bones and exposed to the outside. It can improve with the soul master's age."

Gula explained the spirit skills attached to the external spirit bones, drawing an envious glance from Tang San. "Dual Element Control, this is a spirit bone tailor-made for you. Oh, and what about the spirit ring skills? Wouldn't it be wasted if it had elemental control?"

The envy in Tang San's eyes faded a little. Even if he could control the fire and earth elements and fuse them together, he would not be able to use them.

Gula shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not the control of elements, but the elemental soul skill of the Flame Lord, which can transform into a lava body. From now on, those hidden weapons of yours will be useless to me."

"Elementalization!"

Tang San was startled for a moment, but soon regained his composure.

Elementalization can indeed restrain hidden weapons, but not all hidden weapons are physical attacks. He has confidence in the Tang Sect's hidden weapons.

As they talked, they headed towards the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest. At this time, the sun was setting in the west and the sky was getting dark. The three of them spoke in a very low voice to avoid disturbing the soul beasts.

"We are both second-ring Great Spirit Masters. Should we apply for early graduation when we return? With our level, we can go directly to the Advanced Academy, and they will be happy to accept us."

Gula suggested.

"The world is so big, I want to see it."

Hearing this, Tang San hesitated: "I asked the teacher, and he said he hopes we go to Dean Flanders's academy."

"Dean Flender's academy may be a bit poor, but it has two Soul Saint teachers in charge. We won't have to worry about hunting souls in the future, especially ten-thousand-year soul beasts. It's impossible for them to be drowned like the Flame Lord."

"The teacher himself also needs to drink dragon blood every day. If he stays at Notting Academy, he will have to trouble Dean Flanders to send him dragon blood, so he will also go to Shrek Academy to be a teacher."

Gula secretly curled his lips. He used his brothers to know that they were in contact. There was a reason why he was looked down upon.

Do you want to go to Shrek?

Gula thought in his heart.

Among the original Shrek Seven Devils, he at most had some affection for the tenacious Zhu Zhuqing. The others had too many shortcomings and their behavior was really hard to praise.

Dai Mubai and the other two can be called three sex maniacs. It is a man's genetic nature to be lustful, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But the three of them have had many girlfriends since they were young. When they met a few girls with good looks and talents, they pretended to be affectionate and pursued them relentlessly.

What is suffocating is that the division commanders led by Flanders added fuel to the fire and created opportunities for them.

There is also the much-criticized school motto, which says that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. This motto is simply intended to train students to be greedy, angry, and foolish.

Although, such evil people often live more freely...

Gula laughed in silence. Why think so much? If you don’t like something, just change it.

He has this ability now.

"Dai Mubai should just continue to be decadent for a few years. If he doesn't disappoint Zhu Zhuqing, how can I steal her away?"

"As for Yu Xiaogang needing dragon blood, if Flanders is willing to give it to him, then he can just give it to me. I don't have to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to get the blood and then send it to Notting City overnight."

Gula figured it out.

Looking up at the starry sky, the stars are shining.

He smiled and said, "Then we will stay at Notting Academy until we graduate normally. As for the spirit rings we will need in the future, Dean Flender wants to recruit three geniuses like us, so it is only natural for him to help with soul hunting in advance. Otherwise, why would we go to his crappy academy?"
