Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Pattern Staff, Inherited from the Azure Dragon of the East

Chapter 168 Yu Xiaogang, the Gift from the Mysterious Black-Robed Man

Notting City, Junior Soul Master Academy.

Inside the office, the man in black with a buzz cut opened the envelope in his hand and took a look.

"Xiao San and Xiao Wu have arrived safely in Soto City and successfully joined Shrek Academy! That's wonderful!"

Suddenly, the man looked surprised.

He doubted he was seeing things.

The envelope stated that Shrek Academy was a very luxurious academy with a strong faculty, complete facilities, and abundant resources, and it also told him to go there as soon as possible.

"Shrek Academy has developed so well? In my memory, it should be very poor."

"You, Flander, have developed so well and become so rich without making a sound. With my relationship with him, wouldn't I have easily become the vice dean?"

"I can use the resources inside to better cultivate my mistress."

Yu Xiaogang thought to himself, feeling increasingly pleased with himself.

This is a typical example of malicious intent to steal someone else's work.

So he packed his things, told the dean of Notting Advanced Soul Master Academy, and left.

With his talent and knowledge, although his soul power is only level 29, he also has the title of the number one theoretical master in the entire continent, and he must be a distinguished guest in Shrek Academy!

He felt a surge of joy at the thought.

However, just as he was fantasizing about a better life in the future, a man in black robes appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

The other person exuded a powerful aura, and Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically. He dared not be careless: "Who are you?"

Driven by instinct, he summoned his martial soul—a pig, or rather, a physical martial soul—and two yellow spirit rings appeared.

Upon seeing this, the man in black robes felt a strange stirring within him.

Under the powerful suppression, Yu Xiaogang was unable to move, and his martial spirit fearfully returned to his body, and his spirit ring did not appear.

"Who...who are you? I have never offended you!"

"Can't you at least let me die knowing why?"

Yu Xiaogang was furious. He was just about to live a good life, so why did this happen at this time?

The opponent's strength had exceeded his expectations; he was definitely an extremely powerful Soul Master!

Without a word, the man in black produced a knife and slashed Yu Xiaogang's palm. Blood dripped from his hand onto the ground.

The stinging pain made Yu Xiaogang grit his teeth and sweat bead on his forehead.

What's wrong with this guy? Why did he cut me without warning?

Is he a mute person who cannot communicate?

However, why does it have a woman's fragrance?

There was even a slight sense of familiarity.

"Dong'er, is that you?" Yu Xiaogang said affectionately and softly.

The man in black robes visibly trembled, but still did not answer.

A long sword appeared in her hand and was placed under Yu Xiaogang's hand, followed by dripping blood.

The next second, Yu Xiaogang had a very strange feeling.

With a thought, he stored the longsword inside his body.

"this!"

Yu Xiaogang was extremely shocked.

With another thought, a longsword appeared in his hand.

His pupils widened, as if he had thought of something.

Yu Xiaogang exclaimed, "Could this be a soul-guided weapon?!"

The man in black robes left a piece of paper, then turned and instantly left the spot.

All the suppressive power on Yu Xiaogang's body vanished without a trace.

He was panting as he picked up the paper from the ground and examined it.

Name: Cheng Yingjian

Type: Upgradable Soul Guidance Weapon

Level: Level 4

Combat strength: Four-ring Soul Master

Ultimate Growth Potential: Five-Ring Soul King

Source: Divine Craftsman's Pavilion

This is precisely the information that the Divine Craftsman Pavilion assigns to each Soul Guide Weapon.

"It really is a soul tool." Yu Xiaogang's eyes became complicated.

Over the years, although he had been in this place, he had heard about soul-guided weapons and elixirs.

He initially planned to research it, but unfortunately he didn't have the money to buy it.

However, they did manage to obtain some of the elixirs for research, but made no progress, so they gave up on it.

He had only disappeared from the martial arts world for a few decades, but I never expected that so much had changed.

"With this soul-guided weapon, I now possess the strength of a four-ring Soul Master. But how do I grow it into a five-ring Soul King? Oh well, I'll just have to wait and see."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head.

"Dong'er, is it really you?"

"If it were Sister Liu, there would be no need for her to wear a black robe and refuse to acknowledge me."

Looking in the direction where the man in black had disappeared, his eyes became incredibly complex.

They boarded the carriage and sped towards Shrek Academy in Soto City.

The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the underground research institute, and Li Fei's place of seclusion.

During this time, Gu Yue had collected all the blood of the soul beasts and personally handed it over to Li Fei, who was in seclusion.

Li Fei began to study them one by one, and all of them were successful.

Furthermore, by eliminating all the flaws of the spirit beasts and retaining their strengths, they combined and cultivated the strongest spirit beast to date!

However, this spirit still needs time to develop; it is not yet time for it to be born.

He found some very trustworthy members, began to pass on the knowledge of spirits to them, and worked with them.

As time went by, they had all completed their research and development.

"I've been in seclusion for so long, it's time for me to emerge."

Li Fei took a deep breath.

It feels so good to be back on the surface from underground and see the sunlight again.

He found Li Fubo and learned about everything that had happened in the outside world while he was in seclusion.

The current situation is under control and is within the plan.

"Tang San and Xiao Wu's group have already entered Shrek Academy?"

"Then Yu Xiaogang must have already set off, right?"

"Do you have any information about Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts?"

Li Fei leaned back in his chair, leisurely sipping his tea as he asked a question.

"Lord, our people have been secretly monitoring Yu Xiaogang. We discovered that not long ago, a black-robed man, who appeared to be Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, approached Yu Xiaogang, cut his palm, and let the blood drip onto the level-four soul-guided weapon, Cheng Ying Sword, before leaving."

"Yu Xiaogang is currently on his way to Shrek Academy in Soto City and will arrive tonight."

Uncle Li replied respectfully.

He was among the first to follow Li Fei, and now his cultivation has reached the level of a nine-ring titled Douluo.

Therefore, he was very grateful to Li Fei and the Li family.

He had long considered himself a member of the Li family and would risk his life for them.

I will never betray you.

Without the Li family and Li Fei as the family head, he would not have the strength of a nine-ring titled Douluo!

He is absolutely loyal to the Li family!

He knew that words had their limits, so he had been proving his loyalty through his actions over the years.

"I see."

"Unbeknownst to us, so many years have passed."

Li Fei was somewhat moved.

"Master, should I kill Yu Xiaogang?" Li Fubo asked.

Yu Xiaogang was only a level 29 Great Soul Master. Even now that he had a level 4 Soul Guidance Weapon, he was still an ant in Li Fubo's eyes.

Killing them would be an incredibly easy task, like stepping on an ant; it wouldn't even be noticed.

"No need. He's just an ant. I'd like to see what kind of waves he'll make after he comes to the academy."

Li Fei's smile turned playful.

Because he possesses enough power to suppress everything.

"Come on, let's set up a scheme."

He thought of something and began to explain to Uncle Li Fu.
