Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 178 A Master and Disciple Who Always Expect to Repay Kindness

Bibi Dong was overjoyed to see that the two most outstanding geniuses from the Blazing Fire and Divine Wind academies had been subdued. With these three submitting, it was as if the two elements had submitted as well.

"Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, here are two Flame Strike Leg Soul Bones that are over 30,000 years old. I'll give them to you."

Just then, Shui Bing'er specially found two fire-attribute soul bones from her mother and sent them to Huo Wushuang and his sister. After all, Feng Xiaotian had already obtained one, so this would seem fairer.

"We haven't made any contribution to the Tenglong Pavilion yet, and we've already received the soul bone like this? We feel unworthy!"

Although Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu desperately needed soul bones, they had only just joined the party, and the other party had already given them soul bones, so they felt a little embarrassed to accept them.

"Take it! Consider it a welcome gift for joining the Tenglong Pavilion."

"In addition, this is Senior Dugu and Aunt Ye Suling. They are the First Elder and Second Elder of our Tenglong Pavilion. Senior Dugu is now a level 96 Title Douluo, and Aunt Ye is a level 94 Title Douluo. She is the only healing-type Title Douluo."

Shui Bing'er gave the soul bone to Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, and also introduced the two high-ranking members of Tenglong Pavilion to the three of them.

"Greetings, Your Excellencies."

Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang immediately bowed respectfully to Dugu Bo and Ye Suling.

"Hmm! Not bad. Welcome to our Tenglong Pavilion. Now you should call us the First Elder and the Second Elder."

"Xiao Chen won't let you suffer. If you follow him, becoming a Title Douluo is just the minimum you can achieve."

Dugu Bo and Ye Suling looked at the three with smiles. These three represented the future of Blazing Fire City and Divine Wind City! Their addition would make Tenglong Pavilion stronger and stronger.

"Senior Dugu and Aunt Ye are the First Elder and Second Elder, so who is that Your Excellency beside the Pavilion Master?" Huo Wu recalled being startled by Ye Cailan in Blazing Fire City, a memory that remains vivid to this day.

"That's Xiao Chen's protector, a level 96 expert, titled Blue Silver Douluo."

Bibi Dong introduced Ye Cailan's bodyguard identity to Feng Xiaotian and the other two, but she was secretly laughing. On the surface, the woman was a proper bodyguard for the little guy, but who knew whether she was proper or not, just like herself.

"Now our Tenglong Pavilion has three titled Douluo, two at level 96 and one at level 94, which can be considered a major sect."

Feng Xiaotian also admired Ye Liangchen, who had unknowingly built such a powerful force.

"That's not the case. The strength of a force depends not only on its high-end capabilities but also on its overall strength. Xiao Chen's Tenglong Pavilion is still under construction and cannot compare with the major sects."

"The three of you are the future rulers of Divine Wind City and Blazing Fire City. Now that you've joined Xiao Chen's team, you should be able to ask City Lord Feng and City Lord Huo to support the construction of Tenglong City after you return. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Bibi Dong assigned tasks to Feng Xiaotian and the other two. Since they had received benefits from the little guy, they should at least put in some effort.

"Your Holiness, please rest assured! We understand what to do. We'll go back and discuss it with our teachers and friends right away."

Feng Xiaotian and his sister Huo Wushuang bid farewell to everyone and left the manor.

"Feng Xiaotian, you must keep this a secret for now. You must not reveal the relationship between His Holiness the Pope and us," Shui Bing'er instructed the three of them.

"Don't worry! We know what we're doing."

Feng Xiaotian and his sister Huo Wushuang assured everyone that they would not speak carelessly.

"Fire Dance, Fire Warrior, this time we've really struck it rich."

"I never imagined Ye Liangchen had such a powerful backing. I reckon he'll definitely dominate the world in the future."

"Sister, it's obvious. Two or three years ago, when he used Long Chen's identity to beat up Prince Xue Xing, his words, 'Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?' already made his stance clear."

"Since we've already chosen to follow Brother Ye, let's keep going. Especially since he said he wants to visit other worlds beyond Douluo Star in the future, I'm really looking forward to it."

"Feng Xiaotian, I think you're quickly becoming his little fanboy."

"Fire Dance, it's just as you said. Brother Ye is already my idol. If it weren't for his words that made me realize the truth, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. Now he's my boss, and I respect him from the bottom of my heart."

The three returned to their respective team's accommodations, chatting and laughing, and then began to discuss the big event with everyone.

"Xiao Chen, how come there's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline inside this ball of light?"

In Ye Liangchen's room, Ye Cailan looked at the blue-gold ball of light that the little guy had given her and was very curious. She didn't know where he got it from.

"Sister Lan, don't worry about it. Just absorb it. As long as it's good for you, that's all that matters."

When Lan Yinhuang transformed, she erased all memories of Tang Dachui. Now she doesn't even know that she had a son in her previous life. So Ye Liangchen is too lazy to tell her about Tang San, lest she be troubled.

"Okay! I'll do as you say."

Ye Cailan knew that whatever the little guy gave her must be a treasure, so she directly absorbed a ball of Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.

"Buzzing..."

This small clump of Blue Silver Emperor bloodline was originally Ye Cailan's own bloodline. As soon as it was absorbed, it immediately merged into her body, just like something she had lost before returning to her.

……

After Tang San suffered a crushing defeat to Ye Liangchen in the final match of the preliminaries, he was extremely unhappy. Not only had Ye Liangchen hurt Xiao Wu, but he had also made Tang San lose miserably. So he worked hard to get revenge and spent his days in the small forest of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, receiving guidance from Tang Dachui and practicing his hammer techniques.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Yu Xiaogang also came along, and felt very gratified as he watched his proud apprentice Tang San wielding the hammer.

However, when Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San's hammer spirit, he felt a sense of disappointment. His own spirit, Luo Sanpao, was only good for being cute and farting; it was useless for nothing else.

Oh God, why are you so cruel to me? You gave me such a bizarre martial soul, and it's so useless. Now I'm even known as the Master of Farting.

It's all Bibi Dong's fault for pinning the title of "Farting Master" on me, making me a laughing stock. And that boy Ye Liangchen, he clearly knows the method of martial soul evolution, but he refuses to share it with me.

Driven by envy, jealousy, and hatred, Yu Xiaogang, the "Farting Master," began to turn dark, blaming everything on others, especially Bibi Dong, whom he wished he could tear to pieces.

"Daddy, when are you going to add spirit rings to my hammer spirit?"

"I can't defeat Ye Liangchen at all right now. Without the support of spirit rings, the power of my hammer is limited, not to mention my Blue Silver Grass spirit. Once he uses his self-created flame spirit skill, my Blue Silver Grass can't withstand it at all."

After completing a set of Chaotic Cloak Hammer Techniques, Tang San wiped the sweat from his face and asked Tang Dachui a question. He wanted to add a spirit ring to the hammer so he could defeat Ye Liangchen, avenge his previous defeat, and kill him once he created powerful hidden weapons.

Tang San has already marked Ye Liangchen with the path to death, so he must kill him, otherwise he will only cause trouble for himself.

"Why is there such a strong murderous intent in your eyes when you talk about Ye Liangchen? It's like you want to kill him."

Tang Hao was very unhappy to see his son like this; this was not the mentality a teenage Soul Master should have.

"Daddy, he hurt Xiaowu. If I don't defeat him, my mind won't be at peace."

Tang San recalled the last match of the preliminaries, when Ye Liangchen froze Xiao Wu into an icicle, and he was powerless to do anything about it. That scene was just too painful.

"Haotian Douluo, could you please... deal with that brat Ye Liangchen?"

Yu Xiaogang also deeply resented Ye Liangchen, that monstrous talent. When he asked Ye Liangchen for advice on how to evolve his martial soul, Ye Liangchen not only refused but also mocked him. So Yu Xiaogang made a throat-slitting gesture to Tang Dachui, hoping that this world-renowned Hammer Douluo would take action and kill Ye Liangchen.

Yu Xiaogang felt very unhappy when he saw other geniuses surpassing his disciple, especially when his disciple was utterly defeated on the field. Tang San couldn't stand out, thus failing to prove his theory of invincibility and forever unable to shake off the label of "good-for-nothing."

"Yu Xiaogang, what exactly have you been teaching Xiaosan these past few years? At such a young age, her character has become like this; how can she ever grow up to be strong?"

"Little San, if you can't even accept losing a regular Soul Battle, then you shouldn't be training anymore. Just come back to the village with me and work as a blacksmith!"

On the surface, Tang Dachui sternly reprimanded Yu Xiaogang and his apprentice, but in his heart he was thinking: If I could kill that monster, would I need you to tell me? Didn't you see that every time that kid goes out, he is accompanied by two super titled Douluo protectors?

"Daddy, I'm sorry."

Tang San blushed with embarrassment after being scolded by his father, and immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake. Otherwise, the other man would have definitely slapped him across the face, letting him experience what fatherly love is all about.

"Focus on your training first, and then go to Sunset Forest to add a spirit ring to your hammer later."

Tang Dachui wasn't entirely sure whether Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit was truly useless or not. However, the Blue Silver Douluo had accurately described every spirit ring Tang San had acquired based solely on his performance in the Soul Master Competition, which was probably true. Moreover, the other party resembled the former Blue Silver Emperor, so Tang Dachui subconsciously believed him.

Thinking of this, Tang Dachui felt another wave of frustration, but since things had come to this, he could only accept the outcome.

"Haotian Douluo, I haven't yet figured out the cultivation of twin martial souls. Wouldn't it be too risky to add spirit rings to Xiao San's hammer rashly? Or have you already figured out the cultivation of twin martial souls?"

Yu Xiaogang always felt that Tang Dachui had been fooled by the Blue Silver Douluo beside Ye Liangchen.

"The only way now is to use soul bones to increase Xiao San's physical attributes, so that he won't explode when he adds soul rings to the hammer."

Tang Hao pinched Tang San's bones and muscles with his hands and found that the kid's physical strength was unexpectedly strong. At least now, he could add two spirit rings to the hammer.

"Your Majesty Haotian, do you have a soul bone?" Yu Xiaogang asked curiously, his eyes revealing a look of longing.

"Of course, we'll look in the Soul Beast Forest."

Tang Dachui, concerned about his son's cultivation, disregarded everything else and prepared to go directly to Sunset Forest to hunt soul beasts, hoping to obtain soul bones.

Without hesitation, Tang Dachui rushed to Sunset Forest overnight. A few days later, after killing a large number of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, he finally succeeded in obtaining three soul bones: a 15000-year-old Mighty Vajra Bear torso soul bone, a 25000-year-old Sky-Splitting Tiger leg soul bone, and a 20000-year-old Sika Deer head soul bone.

"Soul bones are really too hard to obtain. It's a pity that this head soul bone is only a gem attribute, which is not very suitable for Xiao San."

Tang Hao looked at the three ten-thousand-year soul bones in his hand and shook his head helplessly. In the past few days, he had gone all out to get soul bones, killing nearly fifty ten-thousand-year soul beasts and even a few fifty-thousand-year soul beasts. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and only obtained three soul bones that were less than thirty thousand years old.

Tang Hao dared not kill too many soul beasts over 50,000 years old. Firstly, he was injured, and killing soul beasts over 50,000 years old would require him to use all his strength, which would aggravate his injuries. Secondly, he was afraid of causing a soul beast riot. Therefore, he could only try to find some soul beasts under 30,000 years old, which he could take care of with two hammer blows.

After obtaining three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, Tang Hao returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy a few days later, preparing to take Tang San to Sunset Forest to add soul rings to the hammer.

"Daddy, Rongrong and Oscar have also reached level 40 recently. Why don't we have the Dean take them with us?"

That evening, Tang San practiced his hammer techniques in the small forest and suggested to Tang Dachui that he bring Ning Rongrong and Oscar along the next day.

"Oh! Let's do it together then!"

"Little San, you should absorb these two ten-thousand-year-old soul bones first. It's just a pity that this head soul bone isn't quite suitable for you."

Tang Dachui threw down two ten-thousand-year-old soul bones for Tang San to absorb, then looked at the ten-thousand-year-old head soul bone in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

Yu Xiaogang was so excited when he saw the three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones that he almost shouted out loud. However, he knew that he was not among them, so he suppressed his excitement.

"Haotian Douluo, this gem-attribute soul bone is quite suitable for Ning Rongrong."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang reminded Tang Dachui and decided to give the gem-attribute head soul bone to Ning Rongrong, as it would be of great help to Tang San in the future.

"This is a good idea, Xiao San. Afterwards, you will give this soul bone to Ning Rongrong."

Tang Hao's eyes lit up immediately after Yu Xiaogang's reminder. He knew that the little girl was Ning Fengzhi's daughter, and behind her stood the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Daddy, I understand."

Having lived two lives, Tang San naturally understood that his father was recruiting soldiers for his future.

It took Tang San several hours to finally absorb the two ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, and also brought his soul power to level 44.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Tang San swung his hammer, feeling the powerful boost that the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone brought him, and he felt extremely happy.

"Xiao San, how are you feeling?" Yu Xiaogang was very pleased to see that Tang San's soul power had increased to level 44.

"Teacher, I'm fine, I'm very strong," Tang San said excitedly.

Early the next morning, Flander and Zhao Wuji led the Shrek Six Monsters to Sunset Forest. Yu Xiaogang also invited Yu Tianheng and Zhu Xiaomei to join them. After all, they were now on the same team. Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar were acquiring spirit rings, and the others had to help.

Tang Dachui remained hidden in the shadows, following the group all the way. As he looked at these young people radiating youthful energy, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

"Rongrong, this soul bone is for you."

At this moment, Tang San gave Ning Rongrong the head soul bone with the attribute of a ten-thousand-year-old gem, making her owe him a great favor.

"This is a soul bone?" The appearance of the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone stunned everyone else, their eyes filled with envy.

"Ah! Third Brother, this is too precious, I can't accept it." Ning Rongrong quickly refused, she wasn't anyone to Tang San, and dared not accept such a generous gift.

"Rongrong, take this! This is a gem-attribute head soul bone, perfect for you."

Yu Xiaogang tried to persuade her from the side, but in his heart he was thinking, if it weren't for the power behind you, little girl, how could you have gotten this opportunity?

"Rongrong, we are partners, it's our duty to help everyone become stronger."

Tang San stuffed the soul bone directly into Ning Rongrong's hand, pretending to be very innocent, but in his heart he was thinking: I'm helping you so much now, you'll definitely have to help me in the future.

For Tang San, who adheres to the Tang Clan's assassin code, giving Ning Rongrong a soul bone that is not suitable for him is just a transaction, just like selling hidden weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School before, which was only for money.

"Thank you, Third Brother. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to ask me."

Ning Rongrong couldn't resist their persuasion and happily put away the soul bone.

"Rongrong, I hope you can share the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Distraction Control Technique with Xiao San. Next time you cultivate, let Xiao San learn it with you. It will help his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul."

Upon seeing that Ning Rongrong had accepted the soul bone, Yu Xiaogang immediately made a request to her.

"Master, there's no problem. I'll write to my father later and teach my third brother the distraction control method. He'll definitely agree."

Ning Rongrong felt that exchanging a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone for her distraction control technique was worthwhile, and even if her father knew, he would definitely agree.
