Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

'The scent of tulips?'

After Dugu Bo left, Ning Rongrong eagerly took out the Martial Soul Pill. It was at this moment that Tang San smelled the aroma. 'These herbs are indeed suitable for Ning Rongrong, but refining them into a pill like this… ha, what a waste!'

While angrily rebuking Xiao Yan for wasting precious resources, Tang San handed the pill he had obtained from Xiao Wu to Yu Xiaogang. Although he hoped that Xiao Wu would take the pill, Xiao Wu seemed to think that Yu Xiaogang needed it more and refused to take it no matter what.

'It is I who have truly let down my teacher!' Tang San thought to himself. When he received the Soul Master Pill, he had no intention of sharing it with Yu Xiaogang.

"Dugu Bo".

"Tang Hao..."

Looking at the middle-aged man with a full beard and hair like a bird's nest in front of him, Dugu Bo's face was solemn. Even though he was in his prime and Tang Hao, who had lost an arm, had less than half his strength, he still dared not make any rash moves.

"It was my fault two months ago..."

"That 100,000-year-old soul beast is me..."

After a brief standoff, the two spoke at almost the same time.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast?"

Two months ago?

Then, the two of them fell silent again.

"That 100,000-year-old soul beast was the prey I left for my son. If I hear about this 100,000-year-old soul beast from anyone else, you know the consequences," Tang Hao said in a low voice after a brief silence.

"Neither Yan Yan nor I need a rabbit spirit ring." Dugu Bo immediately admitted defeat. It was Xiao Yan, not him, who could instantly kill Tang Hao. His principle was to never insist on something when it was time to back down.

'Furthermore, Yan Yan, whose martial soul has transformed into a dragon, doesn't need a low-level soul beast's soul ring, even one that's a hundred thousand years old.'

Having seen the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul countless times, Dugu Bo was absolutely certain that his granddaughter's Martial Soul was already a True Dragon Martial Soul, and even her first four Soul Skills had been sublimated. This Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Ring... he couldn't stand it at all!

"Wait, your son?!" The next moment, Dugu Bo suddenly realized the real point in Tang Hao's words.

"Tang San," Tang Hao said calmly, his eyelids lowered.

"……what?"

Dugu Bo vaguely remembered that the martial soul of that guy named Tang San... seemed to be Blue Silver Grass, right?

*

"Was Tang Hao cheated on? Or did his son's martial soul mutate?"

Upon returning to the valley, Dugu Bo immediately shared the gossip with Xiao Yan.

"Have you considered another possibility?" Xiao Yan, who was refining pills, asked without turning his head.

"Twin martial souls? Impossible. The prerequisite for twin martial souls is that the two martial souls are of similar level. The gap between the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Silver Grass is even greater than the gap between the True Dragon Martial Soul and the Sub-Dragon Martial Soul!"

Want to make a bet?

"No, I still believe you. Twin martial souls it is, you have them anyway." Dugu Bo, who hadn't won a single bet with Xiao Yan in the past two months, smiled sheepishly.

"Ah, speaking of which, which is stronger, your martial spirit or the Clear Sky Hammer?" He admitted defeat while changing the subject.

"What do you say?"

"Uh...it should be your martial soul, right?"

Having witnessed Xiao Yan's Xuanzhong Ruler martial spirit, and knowing that a five-ring Xuanzhong Ruler weighs over ten thousand kilograms, Dugu Bo pondered for two seconds before speaking.

*

"Teacher, this is..."

Looking at the blue-gold soul bone in the lead box that Yu Xiaogang handed to him, Tang San was filled with disbelief.

"Absorb the soul bone as soon as possible, and don't let anyone else know." Yu Xiaogang, who had absorbed two Soul Master Pills and reached level forty-one in soul power, said with a smile, although the smile made his zombie face even more terrifying.

Tang San, who thought that Yu Xiaogang had brought back the soul bone from the auction, was moved to tears and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Yu Xiaogang on the spot.

The moment Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San's knees bend, his face twitched violently. He took two steps forward and supported Tang San, saying, "Absorb the soul bone."

Tang Hao was nearby. This 100,000-year-old soul bone was given to him by Tang Hao. If he accepted this kneeling, Yu Xiaogang felt that his life was probably over.

"By the way, this Soul Master Pill... I'll absorb it a year later."

After Tang San finished absorbing the soul bone, Yu Xiaogang took out a jade bottle from his soul tool. "The absorption is quite noticeable now." He handed Tang San the soul master pill that Tang Hao had taken from the person who had won the auction.

Looking at the jade bottle in Yu Xiaogang's hand, Tang San instantly understood its origin. However, adhering to the principle that one should not refuse a gift from an elder, Tang San silently accepted the gift.

Chapter 106 Soul Master Competition

"...You'll be responsible for the on-field tactics and the selection of participants. My advice is that during the preliminaries, the fewer members of your Shrek Seven Devils who appear, the better. In the finals, you'll face opponents far stronger than you imagine! And you only have one goal: strive for it!"

A year later, reminded by Dugu Bo, Xiao Yan finally remembered that he still had the Soul Master Competition to participate in. When he rushed back to Shrek Academy, he happened to hear Yu Xiaogang's last words.

"I don't care if Tang San arranges the tactics," Xiao Yan said casually as he pushed open the door and looked at the nine students sitting in a circle and Yu Xiaogang standing in the center of the crowd. "However, I have one request: I must participate when we encounter Canghui Academy."

"Rock Owl!"

Upon seeing Xiao Yan, whom she hadn't seen for over a year, Ning Rongrong excitedly called out. However, due to the presence of a certain "teacher," she simply waved repeatedly, gesturing for Xiao Yan to sit down next to her.

"Canghui Academy... Of course, you must participate..." After Xiao Yan sat down in the crowd, Yu Xiaogang said coldly with a stern face.

"No, you don't understand what I mean," Xiao Yan waved his hand mercilessly, interrupting Yu Xiaogang's self-righteous statement. "What I mean is, when facing Canghui Academy, only I can be the one to go on stage!"

"Impossible!" Tang San blurted out.

With everyone's attention focused on him, Tang San looked directly at Xiao Yan and said, "You refined the Soul Master Pill, didn't you? Lin Dong must have had one too, right? Facing him, who is already a Soul King, and his team, everyone has to go on the field together!"

A year ago, the experience of being instantly killed by Lin Dong, a Soul Master, was still deeply etched in his mind. Now, with a Soul Master Pill and a 100,000-year Soul Bone, Tang San, who had finally become a level 45 Soul Master, was hoping to take the last Soul Master Pill in this final period and strive to become a Soul King before the Soul Master Competition, so as to avenge the loss.

Therefore, Tang San would never let Xiao Yan go on stage alone. In order to have a sufficient reason to refuse him, he even directly mentioned that Lin Dong might have already become a Soul King.

However, Tang San, who spoke these words with great determination, was completely unaware of the immense shock that a "Soul King" had brought to the students who were about to participate in the competition.

"Soul King? Lin Dong is the same age as Yan Xiao, right?" Ma Hongjun's face twitched violently. He couldn't imagine why an eleven or twelve-year-old Soul King could exist in the world.

"yes……"

Oscar sighed helplessly. With the help of the Soul Master Pill, he had already reached the level of a Soul Master of level 42 at the age of 15. He thought that his talent was second only to Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing and Yan Xiao. But after hearing that there was a Soul King of 11 or 12 years old, he suddenly became a little depressed.

"Soul King?" With the help of the two pills provided by Xiao Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, who had become a level 47 Soul Master in a year at an unimaginable speed, thought that she might be able to reach that level during the promotion competition.

"Soul King..."

The four substitute players looked bewildered. Although they didn't know who Lin Dong was, they had become Soul Masters with the help of Soul Master Dan. However, the fact that Lin Dong was a Soul King, a level equivalent to their fathers, still made them a little flustered.

"Soul King? Ah, indeed, he should already be a Soul King."

'Maybe he's already found a suitable sixth spirit ring and become a Spirit Emperor.' Xiao Yan thought to himself, but a bright smile appeared on his face.

"However, I've already made a deal with him: when Shrek Academy encounters Canghui Academy, only he and I will go on stage, so everyone can witness a true... genius!"

His martial spirit did not manifest, but five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—emerged from Xiao Yan's body.

"A Soul King versus a Soul King, no problem, right?"

Looking around at everyone's frozen expressions, Xiao Yan smiled brightly.

"cough!"

Yu Xiaogang coughed lightly. Although he was somewhat surprised that Xiao Yan was already a Soul King at the age of eleven, he also confirmed that Soul Master Pills could be taken repeatedly. In this way, the fact that his soul power had not improved at all in a year should be a simple matter of talent.

"Can you win?" Even knowing about the feud between his disciple and Lin Dong, Yu Xiaogang felt that letting Xiao Yan go out and fight Lin Dong was a good thing after Xiao Yan explained that it would only be one-on-one between him and Lin Dong.

'It would be best if both sides suffered losses, leaving behind a chronic condition that can't be cured!'

He verbally agreed, but Yu Xiaogang couldn't help cursing in his heart. He didn't want too many Soul Kings to appear in this Soul Master Competition. His disciple was enough to make it to the end!

"We'll win!"

Xiao Yan retracted his spirit ring, a smile playing on his lips.

"Speaking of which... Master, you're now a Soul Master?" After being back for so long, Xiao Yan finally turned his attention to Yu Xiaogang and noticed something was amiss.

"I was the one who tested the Soul Master Pill at the auction house."

If it weren't for his naturally zombie-like face, Xiao Yan's words might have exposed Yu Xiaogang's weakness.

"You're the tester?" Xiao Yan smiled, but his gaze fell on Yu Xiaogang's lower abdomen. If nothing unexpected happened, the meridians in Yu Xiaogang's lower abdomen should have developed a barely perceptible crack after taking two Soul Master Pills, preventing any further possible cracking in his future.

"I thought you had taken two Soul Master Pills, Master," Xiao Yan shrugged indifferently and smiled casually. "Although it wasn't specifically mentioned, when they were being distributed, Teacher Dugu must have given one to each person, right?"

Xiao Yan's smile made Tang San feel uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What will happen if I take two pills?"

"Nothing will happen, but there is one ingredient in the Soul Master Pill that is not suitable for large doses. If you take two pills, your path to becoming a Soul Master... will probably come to an end."

After Xiao Yan returned, Ning Rongrong, who had been racking her brains for a reason to get him to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with her, glanced at the grim-faced Yu Xiaogang and his apprentice upon hearing this, before her gaze settled on Xiao Yan's face—

She always felt that Dugu Bo's private reminder to her that a Soul Master could only take one Soul Master Pill in his lifetime was intentional, with the aim of tricking some greedy people into taking two Soul Master Pills.

"I have something to discuss with Flander. Xiao San, you'll lead them in tactical drills afterward!" With an extremely grim expression, Yu Xiaogang waved his sleeve and left the wooden house.

"Yes!"

Tang San responded loudly, while secretly rejoicing that he hadn't taken a second Soul Master Pill. He also glanced at Xiao Yan in what he considered a discreet way, thinking that Xiao Yan's initial refusal to explicitly state that one couldn't take two Soul Master Pills was a deliberate attempt to target him!

Ignoring Tang San's resentful gaze, Xiao Yan nudged Zhu Zhuqing's arm and asked, "What's the current state of your martial spirit? Have you taken any martial spirit pills?"

“No,” Zhu Zhuqing shook her head gently and said softly, “the medicinal power of that pill has not been fully released.”

"That's normal. That pill..." It's a sixth-grade pill, almost a seventh-grade one! I've never even taken one!

"The effects of that pill should last until you become a Title Douluo," Xiao Yan thought to himself, then patted Ning Rongrong's thigh. "Rongrong, what about your martial soul?"

Mentioning this, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly, clearly she had a lot to say, but after glancing at her teammates with whom she had only a casual relationship, she forcibly suppressed all the words she wanted to say, "Yeah, it evolved!"

Xiao Yan blinked, thinking that given Ning Rongrong's secretive nature, it couldn't be as simple as just becoming the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda...

Over the next few days, the Shrek Academy team members, led by Shao Xin, began practicing various tactics, spending almost every day in rehearsing and coordinating their teamwork. However, Tang San's condition was not very good, as if he was worried about someone.

Until the opening ceremony of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, in the Heaven Dou Empire region, none of the students saw Yu Xiaogang, Flander, or Liu Erlong.

According to sources, the three apparently got into a fight at the Nine Hearts Begonia Clan and were eventually imprisoned by the Heaven Dou Empire. Currently, the current second head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is in friendly communication with the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Nine Hearts Begonia Clan, and it is expected that the three will be released before the end of the preliminary rounds.

A few days later, outside the Great Soul Arena of Tiandou City.

Wow, there are so many people!

Looking at the sea of ​​people in front of her, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Although she had seen such a crowded scene before, this was the first time she had become part of it.
