The Big Fool Yu Xiaogang; Spoiling Bibi Dong's Murder of Qian Xunji
Not far from Yu Xiaogang, Tang San and Xiao Wu rode swiftly toward him on a horse.
Sitting in front, Xiao Wu said admiringly, "Xiao San, you're so clever. You knew to buy a horse ahead of time. Otherwise, we'd have had to run all the way there. Skywater City is so far away that running would take at least ten days to half a month."
Her praise suddenly made Tang San a little embarrassed. He replied awkwardly, "It was just luck. Nothing special."
Just then, Xiao Wu seemed to spot Yu Xiaogang.
"Huh, isn't that the Grandmaster?"
"Doesn't he have a mule? Why isn't he riding it instead of leading it along?"
Puzzled for a moment, Xiao Wu called out, "Grandmaster..."
Hearing her, Yu Xiaogang turned toward them and said happily, "Xiao San, Xiao Wu, what are you two doing here? Could it be that you're going to Skywater City too?"
Now that Tang San had bought a horse, he wouldn't have to walk on his own two legs. Heaven had finally opened its eyes.
"Teacher, we're not planning to go to Shrek Academy anymore. We want to find Lin Tian in Skywater City. It was so urgent that we didn't tell you."
"From the looks of it, you were going too, Teacher. That's a relief."
Tang San jumped off the horse with Xiao Wu in his arms and gave Yu Xiaogang a slight bow to show his respect.
Xiao Wu ran over to the mule and walked around it, looking it over.
"Xiao San, look, isn't this the mule we came across earlier?"
"We were just saying no fool would buy this sick old mule."
"I didn't expect someone actually bought it..."
At that point, Xiao Wu suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Yu Xiaogang's face turned green when he heard her, and he looked at Xiao Wu with eyes full of resentment.
"Teacher, don't be angry. Xiao Wu didn't mean it."
"But how did you end up buying this mule?"
Tang San noticed Yu Xiaogang's expression and hurriedly apologized on Xiao Wu's behalf.
Although Xiao Wu usually disliked Yu Xiaogang, she said nothing more for Tang San's sake.
Otherwise, given her personality, she would have been unable to resist mocking him long ago.
"Ah, I guessed you two were going to Skywater City, and I was in such a hurry to catch up with you that I got swindled," Yu Xiaogang said with a sigh.
"It's all right, Teacher. It's just a mule; it didn't cost much. We can just leave it here."
After comforting him, Tang San prepared to abandon the mule.
Taking it along would slow them down too much.
"Don't, Xiao San! I paid ten times the price of a fine horse for it."
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang hurried forward to stop him.
That was all his hard-earned money.
"Huh? Ten times the price of a fine horse?"
"Teacher, you've been swindled."
"Come on, let's go get your money back."
Tang San was shocked when he heard the price.
What happened to Teacher? How could he have been cheated so badly?
"Xiao San, it's no use. That man ran far away long ago, and I don't want to dwell on it."
"Time is short. We'd better hurry to Skywater City."
"You happen to have a horse, so the three of us can ride there together."
As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he jumped onto the horse.
In any case, he was sticking with Tang San and absolutely wouldn't get off the horse.
Tang San's expression changed slightly, and he said with a wry smile, "Teacher, three people are too heavy. I'm afraid it won't be able to carry us all."
"It's fine. This horse looks sturdy enough. There won't be any problem."
"How about you ride the mule?"
Yu Xiaogang wasn't getting off. He was staying put, and Tang San didn't dare do anything to him.
"No, let's share the horse."
"But you'll have to leave the mule behind, or we won't be able to go."
Tang San instantly backed down. He could only jump onto the horse with Xiao Wu, afraid that Yu Xiaogang would ride it away while he wasn't paying attention.
Fortunately, he and Xiao Wu weren't heavy. Otherwise, the horse really wouldn't have been able to carry them.
"Xiao San, let the Grandmaster sit in front. I'll sit behind you."
Afraid that the Grandmaster's hands would touch her if he sat behind her, Xiao Wu reluctantly took the back.
Yu Xiaogang could only abandon the old mule, his heart aching.
And so, with Yu Xiaogang in his arms in front of him and Xiao Wu trailing behind him, Tang San rode away.
Not long afterward, the old man who had sold Yu Xiaogang the mule came walking happily along and saw his old mule.
"Old friend, I didn't expect to see you again."
"That big fool actually abandoned you."
"Since he doesn't want you anymore, come back with me and enjoy the good life."
The old man gently stroked the old mule's head and led it away.
In Leng Xi's room, Lin Tian gradually came out of his daze.
No one knew better than he did just how powerful his Martial Souls and aptitude were.
Just now, information about his Twin Martial Souls and innate Soul Power had appeared in his mind.
He knew about Body Martial Souls. They were the most mysterious Martial Souls in the world and had the greatest potential.
But in his subconscious, he felt that Body Martial Souls were the most powerful Martial Souls on the Douluo Continent.
He believed that only when a person's entire being was their Martial Soul was it a true Martial Soul, the foundation of a person, and only then were they qualified to slay gods in a mortal body.
Du Busi and Du Bisou both had Body Martial Souls. Their failure to do so didn't mean Body Martial Souls weren't powerful; it meant their aptitude was insufficient, and they couldn't bring out their Body Martial Souls' true power.
Soul Masters were people to begin with. If even their own selves were Martial Souls, how could they not be powerful?
As long as he cultivated his Body Martial Soul to its peak, he could surely reach a realm where he broke the Dao with force and transcended the mundane.
His Heavenly Book Martial Soul was even more remarkable. Although there wasn't a single word on it, he could sense a trace of the rules of the Great Dao within it.
Although his Heavenly Book Martial Soul currently had only one page, he believed that as long as he kept adding Soul Rings and improving the quality of his Martial Soul, it could develop more pages.
There were three thousand Great Daos!
Perhaps if he developed his Heavenly Book Martial Soul to its peak, it could have three thousand pages.
Could the Heavenly Book be the golden finger I got for transmigrating to Douluo?
Heavens, am I going to inherit the Great Dao of heaven and earth?
At that thought, Lin Tian felt it was a little too fantastical.
The Douluo Continent was a low-level plane, commonly called the floor tile of the fantasy genre.
How could such a low-level plane possibly produce a Martial Soul related to something like the Heavenly Dao?
He was probably overthinking it. It was most likely a divine book related to something like laws.
But his innate Soul Power was absurdly high: Innate Full Soul Power at rank one hundred.
In theory, as long as he obediently added ten Soul Rings, he could become a god.
But his rank one hundred Soul Power seemed to have a seal on it, so he couldn't fully unlock it for now. It seemed he could only add two Soul Rings at present.
Unlocking more of his cultivation probably required some condition, but he didn't know what it was.
Moreover, he couldn't just add any Soul Ring to his Heavenly Book Martial Soul. It seemed other conditions had to be met, and ordinary Soul Rings weren't suitable at all.
Besides that, his Heavenly Book Martial Soul was also connected to his physical strength. If his body was too weak, it would struggle to withstand the Heavenly Book's power.
It seemed he would have to add Soul Rings to his Body Martial Soul first.
"Lin Tian, what kind of Martial Soul is that? It looks so strange, like a book and a sheet of paper at the same time."
"Could your Martial Soul be a Trash Martial Soul? Why don't you test your Soul Power first?"
Shui Bing'er, the first to recover from her shock, put on an act and asked curiously.
Gu Yuena, Shui Yue'er, and Leng Xi also suppressed their shock and nodded.
Lin Tian didn't think much of it, simply taking the four women's shock as a normal reaction.
His Martial Soul's awakening had caused no unusual phenomena, and it looked ordinary. It was perfectly normal for them to be shocked.
"I'm a little unsure myself. Let's call it the Wordless Heavenly Book. It should be an ordinary Martial Soul."
"But I have a second Martial Soul, a Body Martial Soul. And there's no need to test my innate Soul Power. It's Innate Full Soul Power at rank twenty."
"You must keep this secret for me. From now on, I'll only show my Body Martial Soul to others."
"If others find out I have Twin Martial Souls, I'll be in danger. There's a very good chance other factions will set their sights on me."
"If I don't comply, I might be assassinated, and it would also bring trouble to Skywater Academy."
"I'm telling you this secret because I trust you."
Since Lin Tian couldn't add Soul Rings to his Heavenly Book Martial Soul in the early stages, he could only tell them the secret and beg the four of them to keep it.
He had no choice. He didn't want to do this either.
If Spirit Hall learned his secret, Bibi Dong's personality meant she would surely come to recruit him.
If he refused, she would surely find a way to kill him too.
Thinking of Bibi Dong, he felt a little repulsed.
Although Bibi Dong was beautiful, had a good figure, and was a goddess to many people, he simply didn't like her.
At that moment, everything Bibi Dong had been through surfaced in Lin Tian's mind, including the secret of how she had killed Qian Xunji.
[Lin Tian's spoiler-filled thoughts, released in real time 1: Spirit Hall's previous Pope, Qian Xunji, was killed by Bibi Dong. She devoured his Martial Soul and cultivation before inheriting the position of Pope.]
