Chapter 71 The Thousand-Year Soul Ring Technique, White Tiger Vajra Transformation (Part 4)

Tang San's training lasted a long time this time. He only went out for a quick dinner with Xiao Wu in between. The long training time was partly because his Xuan Tian Gong had reached the late stage of level 29 in soul power, almost reaching the threshold of level 30. Therefore, he trained exceptionally hard, hoping to break through to level 30 as soon as possible to find his third soul ring.

Another reason is closely related to his encounter with Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai essentially reminded Tang San that even the best techniques need to be backed by strength. Like their battle, at the beginning, before either of them used their martial souls, Tang San, relying on the exquisite Crane Control Dragon Capture and the characteristics of the Xuan Jade Hand, managed to give Dai Mubai a slight advantage. However, once Dai Mubai used his White Tiger martial soul, Tang San's Crane Control Dragon Capture became much less effective. This illustrates the difference in their strength.

After carefully analyzing and assessing Dai Mubai's strength, Tang San realized that the best way to fundamentally defeat him was to quickly increase his soul power to approach Dai Mubai's level, and at least acquire a third soul ring skill to contend with him. Even his hidden weapons would be significantly more powerful with the support of a higher level of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

"Little San, brother, come out and play with me, okay? Aren't you bored staying in the room all the time?" In the early morning, Xiao Wu couldn't help but complain while Tang San was eating breakfast.

Tang San smiled and said, "I'm different from you. You're exceptionally talented; your strength keeps improving even without much training. I'm just a slow bird that has to start early. You've seen it yourself; Dai Mubai is also a student at Shrek Academy. How strong is he? Since there's one person with that kind of strength, there might be a second or a third. Shrek Academy is different from our old Notting Academy; it won't be your sole authority anymore. If I don't try my best to improve my strength, how can I fulfill my promise to protect you in the future?"

Xiao Wu pouted in dissatisfaction, not saying a word, but just holding onto Tang San's arm, staring at him with resentful eyes. It was as if she meant, "I won't let go until you agree to come out with me."

Tang San was completely at a loss with her, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Alright, we're not going to register for Shrek Academy until tomorrow anyway. I'll go out with you for a walk later, but you have to be back by noon. Don't bother me while I'm cultivating this afternoon."

"Okay." Xiao Wu's clear voice was full of joy, and the resentment in her eyes vanished as if by magic. Her acting skills had long since reached a level of perfection.

The service at the Rose Hotel was excellent. When Tang San and Xiao Wu came out, they saw a waiter pushing in a cart full of fresh roses. Upon asking, they learned that the red roses in the "Red Ocean" room were changed daily. Even though roses themselves weren't expensive, the quantity still added up to a considerable price. Tang San tentatively inquired about the room rate and realized how wise his decision to promise Manager Wang a free stay for the next few days had been.

After leaving the Rose Hotel, Tang San asked Xiao Wu, "Where do you want to go?"

Xiao Wu made a nonchalant expression, "Just wander around, anywhere is fine. As long as I'm not cooped up in the room."

Back in Notting, she was always surrounded by a large group of followers, making her a veritable little tyrant. Although the former student leader, Xiao Chenyu, had long since graduated and gone to the intermediate soul master academy, his family still wielded considerable influence in Notting City. He genuinely admired Xiao Wu and naturally asked his family to take care of her. Therefore, Xiao Wu's life in Notting was quite comfortable.

Having grown accustomed to lively gatherings, she naturally felt somewhat uncomfortable with Tang San all by her side.

The two walked slowly into the city. Soto City lived up to its reputation as a major city. Although it was still morning, it already showed a prosperous scene.

The pace of life in the city is noticeably faster than in the leisurely city of Nottingham, and most of the passersby seem to be in a hurry.

The shops were filled with all sorts of goods, and after being dragged around to several clothing stores by Xiao Wu, Tang San was already feeling a bit dizzy and lightheaded.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu fully embodied the spirit of "browsing without buying," which prevented their shared wallet from becoming empty.

Prices in Soto are at least 30% higher than in Notting, especially for goods, but the quality is also better. Of course, this is because Notting is a border city; inland small cities would be far less expensive than Soto.

"Hey, Xiao San, look over there!" Xiao Wu suddenly exclaimed in surprise. In public, she usually called Tang San "Xiao San," only calling him "Brother" when they were alone. She claimed it was a secret between the two of them. Tang San didn't care and let her be.

"What clothing store is it this time, Miss? Shouldn't we find somewhere to have lunch and then head back?" Tang San pointed to the sun, which was almost directly overhead.

Xiao Wu, holding his hand, skipped and hopped, saying, "Look, look! It looks like that's related to Soul Masters."

Tang San then looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a shop not far away. The storefront was not large, but the signboard hanging on the shop was different from the others.

The signboard bore a circular mark with several distinctive symbols. Ordinary people might not understand the meaning of these symbols, but Tang San and Xiao Wu knew them. Because those symbols were identical to the Spirit Hall's token.

They are a sword, a hammer, and a blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. The three symbols together are identical to the Spirit Hall's special token held by the Grandmaster. It's unclear why they're appearing on a shop sign.
