In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

She took the soul bone from Serpent Spear Douluo, thought for a moment, and said, "Uncle She, Uncle Ci Xue, you have done a great service in helping me kill the Blue Silver King and obtain my seventh soul ring. When we get back, I will ask my grandfather to select a ten-thousand-year soul bone for each of you from the Spirit Hall's treasury as a reward."

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master..." Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Serpent Spear and Porcupine thanked her repeatedly with excitement. They hadn't expected to gain so much just by following the young master out once.

Although they were destined not to receive the Blue Silver King's right arm spirit bone, which was 85,000 years old, it was still good to have some gains. It's worth noting that the Spirit Hall's elder, Chrysanthemum Guan, held an extremely high position in the Elder Hall, second only to the revered elder, yet he hadn't obtained a single spirit bone to date.

Chapter 128 Return to Nottingham

"Ah Si, this is a weapon-type soul bone of extremely high quality and very rare. This type of soul bone is almost even rarer than external soul bones. I have the Angel Set Soul Bone, so I don't need it. It just so happens that your fourth soul ring comes from the Blue Silver Clan, and this soul bone should be extremely compatible with you. You should absorb it after you go back." Qian Renxue handed the Blue Silver King's right arm bone, which was 85,000 years old, to Lan Si.

"Am I being a kept man?" Lan Si smiled slightly, without any affectation, and took the right arm bone of the Blue Silver King, casually storing it into his Heart of Blue Ocean. He had no intention of absorbing this soul bone at the moment. Although the soul bone was 85,000 years old, it would be enough to move almost any Title Douluo in the outside world.

But now that he's come to this world, he has extremely high requirements for his soul bone: it must be at least 100,000 years old. He won't even consider a soul bone that's less than 100,000 years old.

"I'm happy to let you eat." Qian Renxue smiled and, to the astonishment of the two titled Douluo, Serpent Spear and Porcupine, she generously picked up Lan Si in a princess carry. The four golden angel wings on her back spread open, and with a slight tremor, her body soared into the sky and flew rapidly back the way she came.

The two, Serpent Spear and Porcupine, exchanged wry smiles, then leaped into the sky, following closely behind.

.........

Tiandou Empire, Fasno Province, Notting City.

Notting City is not a large city, but because it is very close to the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, its city walls are built exceptionally thick.

It was midday, the sun blazing fiercely, and under its intense rays, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky, nor a breath of wind. Whether it was the guards at the city gates, or the pedestrians, vendors, and shop owners within the city, everyone was listless and lethargic.

Two young people, a man and a woman, entered through the south gate of Nottingham. Neither of them carried much luggage.

The man was dressed in luxurious clothes, looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, and was over 1.8 meters tall. He wore a blue, fitted outfit. He had a well-proportioned, tall and slender figure. His clear, dark blue eyes were crystal clear, his skin was fair, and his long, icy blue hair was casually draped over his shoulders without looking out of place. He was like a rare gem, embodying handsomeness, nobility, and elegance.

The girl was no ordinary girl either. She appeared slightly older than the boy, with snow-white skin, a straight nose, and delicate, phoenix-shaped eyes, possessing a stunningly beautiful face with a touch of arrogance. She wore a long, golden palace-style dress, a one-piece gown seemingly woven from gold thread. It was simple yet elegant, without excessive embellishment, and a golden stand-up collar protected her long, slender, white neck. Her long, radiant golden hair was casually draped down her back, uncombed, creating a stark contrast with her impeccably tailored palace attire.

The moment the two of them stepped into Nottingham, their presence instantly drew the attention of almost everyone on the street, bringing a touch of coolness to the sweltering city and invigorating everyone's spirits.

"Ah Si, is this the place where you grew up?" Qian Renxue looked around curiously, as if trying to memorize everything around her. Although she came from a wealthy family, this was the first time in her life she had ever actually gone shopping.

As for the scorching weather? She didn't care. Both she and Lan Si were Soul Masters, and Soul Masters with extremely rare talent domains at that. With the isolation between their Soul Power and their domains, they wouldn't feel the slightest bit of heat even in the crater of a volcano.

“Yes, it’s been almost a year since I left Notting Academy. I wonder how Uncle Otto is doing now.” Lan Si nodded slowly. This time, he came not only to visit his hometown, but also to have something else to do, which was to help Otto become a Soul Master.

Strictly speaking, Otto's situation is somewhat similar to that of Jixiang, Tang San's disciple in the original novel.

Ji Xiang's martial soul is an embroidery needle. Otto's martial soul is a large iron hammer. Neither of them are useless martial souls, but they cannot become soul masters because they lack soul power.

In the original story, Tang San first taught Jixiang the Mysterious Heaven Skill to give her soul power, and then gave her the immortal herb, the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King, to make her a Soul Master.

Since that's the case, he could easily teach Otto a few levels of the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique, and then have him fuse with the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King, allowing him to become a true Soul Master in a short period of time. With him, a master who has refined the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique to the fifth level, and with the assistance of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King, Otto could completely skip the Foundation Establishment process.

As for why he didn't teach it before, it's because he didn't have a good reason to explain the origin of the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique. Now, its effectiveness can be entirely attributed to the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King.

Soon, the two arrived at the familiar blacksmith shop, only to find that the blacksmiths had all gone out for lunch because it was midday, and Otto was not there either; only Tom was minding the shop.

So Lan Si brought Qian Renxue to their familiar residence. With the ability of his Azure Fire Eyes to see through things, he confirmed that Otto was home and then knocked on the gate.

Before long, with a creak, the courtyard gate opened, revealing Otto's familiar figure. Compared to before Lan Si left home, Otto's appearance had not changed much, but with age, he seemed to have more wrinkles at his temples.

"And who are you two?" Otto looked at Lan Si, then at Qian Renxue, marveling at their good looks while asking somewhat nervously. He could tell from their attire that they were no ordinary people.

"What? Uncle Otto, it's only been less than a year, and you don't recognize me anymore!" Lan Si smiled faintly, lifted the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the soul tool, the Azure Heart.

Upon seeing the familiar soul tool in Lan Si's hand, Otto was stunned, his eyes flashing with disbelief, and he exclaimed, "You're really A-Si?"

"It's like a homestay, guaranteed," Lan Si said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Otto looked Lan Si up and down again. When he realized that Lan Si looked completely different from the Lan Si he remembered, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he asked again, "How can you prove it?"

"That's simple." Lan Si smiled faintly, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "When I was four, you had a crush on Widow Wang next door. Later, her family moved away, and you were heartbroken for a long time. When you were five, you fell for a young woman and even asked me to deliver her love letter, only to find out she was already married. You suffered your second heartbreak. When you were six..."

"No, stop talking..." Hearing Lan Si recount his embarrassing past, Otto's dark face instantly turned bright red, and he quickly covered Lan Si's mouth. He knew that if Lan Si continued, he would lose all face.

And besides Lan Si, there could be no one else who knows these secrets of his.

Chapter 129 Otto, the Artificial Soul Master

Pushing Otto's hand away, Lan Si sighed helplessly and said eloquently, "Uncle Otto, now you believe me, right? After all, I know your tragic love history perfectly well. Sometimes I really don't understand you. Why did you have to learn from Cao Cao? You ignored young, unmarried women and only liked married women."

"You brat, do you need another spanking?" Otto glared at Lan Si, his tone clearly forced, and said dejectedly, "Who likes married women? My type is already married, okay?"

Standing to the side, Qian Renxue watched the rather comical interaction between Lan Si and Otto, and couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to herself, "It seems that the relationship between this uncle and nephew is even better than I imagined."

"Uh..." Qian Renxue's laughter made Otto quickly realize what was happening, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face. "A-Si, who is this... and what do you look like...?"

Lan Si glanced at Qian Renxue, then at the neighbors who were gradually gathering outside the courtyard gate, and said to Otto, "This is your niece-in-law. As for the change in my appearance, I'll tell you about it later."

Upon hearing this, Otto nodded emphatically, invited the two into the courtyard, and closed the gate.

At this moment, Otto was preparing lunch when he saw Lan Si return with a beautiful young woman. He busied himself with the preparations, and Lan Si helped out as well. Soon, a table full of dishes was ready, all common farm-style fare. Qian Renxue, tired of delicacies, had developed a particular fondness for these rustic dishes.

The three of them ate and chatted, laughing and having a good time.

During the meal, Lan Si simply made up an excuse to brush off the matter of her second awakening of her martial soul, without going into details. Even if she had, it would only have caused Otto more worry.

After the meal, Lan Si helped clear the dishes and got down to business. He took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King from his Qiankun Bag and said seriously, "Uncle Otto, I'm going to help you become a Soul Master."

"No, Ah Si, this is too precious. I'm an old man over fifty, with half my body buried. Giving me such a divine object would be a waste. You and Xue'er should keep it." Seeing this, Otto was moved but quickly refused.

Although Lan Si only briefly described the immortal herb, one can imagine how precious it is, something that can transform a Soul Master's talent.

“Uncle Otto, this immortal herb was specially prepared for you, but it doesn’t suit us. Besides, using too many immortal herbs might not be a good thing. Taking one is enough to benefit you for life. I’ve taken three, and Xue’er has two. Any more would be harmful.” Lan Si explained.

“Ah Si is right, Uncle Otto, please accept it.” Qian Renxue did not put on any airs of being the young master of the Spirit Hall when dealing with this kind-hearted elder. She smiled and agreed.

“It still won’t work. Even if you don’t need it now, your children will definitely need it in the future.” Otto still refused.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Renxue blushed bright red. Lan Si suppressed a laugh and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Otto, I've already prepared your future grandson."

"Really?" A hint of emotion flashed across Otto's eyes. How could he not be tempted by the opportunity to become a Soul Master? However, compared to becoming a Soul Master, he valued the little A-Si, whom he had raised himself, even more.

"Of course it's true, I'll show you if you don't believe me." As he spoke, Lan Si reached into his Qiankun bag at his waist, and with a flash of golden light, a series of immortal herbs, such as the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, and the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb, appeared out of thin air in front of the table.

Otto was completely clueless about these magical herbs, but after confirming that Lan Si had indeed left some for his future grandson, he finally agreed.

"Xue'er, I'll trouble you to go outside and protect us." Lan Si said earnestly to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue nodded, walked out of the house, closed the door behind her, and stood in the courtyard, saying calmly, "Come out."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two titled Douluo, Serpent Spear and Porcupine, appeared out of thin air and landed behind Qian Renxue. They knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Young Master."

"You must immediately send a message to Wuhun City, requesting two Soul Saints to come and secretly protect Uncle Otto, and not allow him to be harmed in any way," Qian Renxue said calmly without turning around.

"Yes." The Serpent Spear and the Porcupine did not hesitate and respectfully replied. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the courtyard as if they had never been there.

Inside the room, Lan Si and Ao Tuan sat knee to knee.

Martial arts are the most difficult thing to learn from scratch, because it involves not only techniques but also countless meridians and acupoints of the human body. Even if you talked to Otto for three days and three nights, you still wouldn't be able to finish explaining it. Even in his previous life, Lan Si, when he first arrived in the world of Bad Guys, it took him a full month to get the basics down.

Therefore, instead of explaining the technique to Otto, he placed his hands on Otto's back and gently channeled the soul power of the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique into Otto's body, guiding it to circulate.

In this way, even if someone wanted to obtain the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique from Otto, Otto couldn't teach it to anyone. Because he didn't understand what a technique was at all; he only knew that there was a certain amount of energy within his body and how to circulate it.

An hour later, under Lan Si's guidance, a trace of soul power gradually emerged within Otto's body.

He let out a soft breath, stopped what he was doing, and said, "Uncle Otto, try summoning your Martial Soul using the method of soul power circulation I just taught you."

Upon hearing Lan Si's words, Otto raised his right hand and summoned his own martial soul as instructed.

This was a casting hammer that Lan Si had seen countless times, with an extremely ordinary shape. However, under the effect of the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique, the surface of the casting hammer now had a trace of blue lightning arc that it had never had before.

Sword Comes

"This...this is soul power?" Otto asked, his voice trembling as he looked at the iron hammer in his hand, which had clearly undergone a change.

Lan Si nodded, took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King from his Qiankun bag, and said seriously, "Well, Uncle Otto, your current soul power is roughly equivalent to level one or two. Now, eat this Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King, and then use the soul power circulation method I taught you before to integrate its medicinal power. However, I hope you don't mention today's events to anyone. If anyone asks, just say that you accidentally ate an old mountain ginseng and suddenly gained soul power."

"I understand, Ah Si." Otto swallowed hard, took the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King, swallowed it, and then sat cross-legged on the bed to refine its medicinal power.

As someone who has personally experienced it, he knows all too well how attractive this special method that allows ordinary people to possess soul power is. Once the outside world finds out, it will definitely cause Lan Si a lot of trouble.

Therefore, even if Lan Si doesn't say anything, he won't reveal it.

Chapter 130 Tang San's Amazing Brain Circuit

one year later.

Sunset Forest, the eye of ice and fire.

"Tang San, fire counters grass. Your Blue Silver Grass martial soul is useless to me. In this life, you are destined to be no match for me."

"Little San, don't switch to cultivating a second martial soul, or you'll regret it later..."

Sitting cross-legged before the Yin-Yang symbol of ice and fire, Tang San's mind was filled with images of Lan Si and Yu Xiaogang. Their voices lingered in his ears for a long time.

Tang San had been in this state for a full year and two months.

Ever since their last trip to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where he and Dai Mubai suffered another crushing defeat at the hands of Lan Si, Tang San had once again fallen into deep self-doubt. He simply couldn't understand why Lan Si was so powerful, so powerful that it was almost despair-inducing. It was as if no matter how much he improved, he could never catch up with him.

The Blue Silver Grass martial soul was completely suppressed by Lan Si, and was even treated as nothing. Even though she knew it was a trap, she didn't care.

His three invincible Blue Silver Grass soul skills were no different from children playing house in front of Lan Si.

After returning home, he managed to cheer up thanks to his teacher Yu Xiaogang's inspirational words and embarked on the path of cultivating the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

However, he discovered that Lan Si had almost become his inner demon, constantly hindering and interfering with his cultivation.
