Overestimating Yourself
Upon hearing what Du Bai said, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He's expressions immediately turned ugly.
However, they knew that the four demands they had just made were indeed difficult for people and would damage their goodwill.
In particular, the second requirement granted each of the three Clan Leader an Immortal Product.
Immortal Product are things that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after. They cannot be forced. Having them is a bonus, but not having them is not a big deal.
Furthermore, they never intended for the young Young Master Du to fulfill all four of these requests.
Therefore, the Old Bird Bai He, knowing its place, spoke politely:
"These four requests were made by the three of us old folks. Young Master Du can point out any unreasonable aspects and we can discuss them together."
"In addition, if you have any other suitable ideas, Young Master Du free to bring them up, and we can discuss them together!"
"Joining your faction is a big deal. Our three families need to receive appropriate benefits, otherwise the brothers won't have the motivation to work!"
"So, let's have a good talk!"
The Old Bird, Bai He, spoke very politely, showing great respect to the young man.
Upon hearing this, Du Bai's previously gloomy expression softened slightly.
Du Bai didn't want to be a victim of injustice, giving money and Immortal Product to these three old men for no reason.
Du Bai wanted subordinates who were absolutely loyal and willing to work hard.
For example, the Strength Clan played a key role in Du Bai's auction of the Soul Bone and a series of subsequent events!
Seeing that Yang Wudi, Bai He, and Niu Gao were genuinely discussing things with him, Du Bai also retracted some of his arrogance.
It was just the two sides discussing the benefits, each saying a sentence, a bit like aunties haggling at a market.
This was not the outcome Du Bai wanted.
After thinking for a while, Du Bai came up with an idea: he could get straight to the point.
"Patriarch Yang, Patriarch Bai, Patriarch Niu, if we continue discussing like this, it will be difficult to reach a consensus!"
"How about we try another approach?"
Du Bai opened his mouth wide, his words first enticing.
"OK!"
"What method do you have? Young Master Du, please speak freely!"
"If the method works, the three of us old folks will have no objections!"
The Old Bird, Bai He, spoke on behalf of the three family heads.
Old Goat Yang Wudi and Old Ox Niu Gao both looked at Du Bai, waiting for him to speak.
The eyes of all the clansmen, like those of the Clan Leader, were focused on Young Master Du Bai.
They also wanted to hear what kind of solution this Young Master Du would come up with.
"I have a bad feeling. Young Master Du isn't stupid. I'm afraid those three old guys, Old Goat, Bai He, and Niu Gao, are going to suffer!"
Old Titan thought to himself, and he vaguely sensed a conspiracy.
Of course, Old Titan knew that Young Master Du would never harm Yang Wudi, Bai He, Niu Gao.
Therefore, the Old Titan remained expressionless, quietly waiting for the next development of events!
"I think that what benefits you three families should receive is something you need to fight for yourselves!"
"The higher the value demonstrated by your three families, the more resources I will naturally invest in you!"
"Gold Soul Coin and Immortal Product —dealing with the Spirit Hall and teaching the Clear Sky Sect a lesson are no problem!"
Du Bai first made a grand promise and then reasoned with the people.
Then, Du Bai changed the subject:
"I'm saying all this for one reason only: to get you three Clan Leader to fight for commensurate benefits!"
"How about this, I'll fight each of you three Clan Leader Douluo I!"
"The more pressure you put on me, the more substantial rewards I will give you. This is called matching your rewards with your own abilities!"
"The better you perform in your battle against me, the greater your reward will be. Five million Gold Soul Coin are not a problem, not to mention fifty million Gold Soul Coin!"
As Du Bai spoke, he exuded a sharp aura.
His calm tone carried the weight of his words like Giant Stone, each one striking a chord deep within everyone's hearts.
All eyes were fixed on the young Young Master Du.
He actually proposed to fight each of the three Soul Douluo Clan Leader separately.
Keep in mind, he looks to be only in his early twenties!
So young, how high could their cultivation level be?
Everyone believed that, given Young Master Du's age, he could at most barely reach the level of Soul Emperor of the sixties.
Even in his later years, Gao thought that he was at most a Soul Ancestor cultivator who had just entered the seventieth level!
"How can someone so young compare to the Clan Leader, who is over fifty and has honed his skills at the Soul Douluo level for many years?!"
"This Young Master Du is truly arrogant; he's probably just a vase cultivated in a greenhouse!"
"Such a pretty face will be protected by others every day in their respective factions. After hearing a few sweet words and flattery, they will think they are exceptionally talented and invincible!"
"Overestimating himself, this Young Master Du is truly overestimating himself!"
Many of the clansmen present appeared expressionless on the surface, but inwardly they shook their heads in disapproval of Du Bai's words and actions.
Based on common sense, they instinctively believed that Du Bai's cultivation level was not high enough to fight against the three Clan Leader, and they were not optimistic about Du Bai!
It wasn't just these ordinary tribespeople who thought this way.
Even the Old Goat Yang Wudi, the Old Bird Bai He, and the Old Ox Niu Gao thought so.
The three Clan Leader were all taken aback when they heard what Du Bai said.
A thought that "young people don't know their own limitations" emerged in the minds of the three Clan Leader.
The three —Old Bird Bai He, Old Ox Niu Gao, and Old Goat Yang Wudi— exchanged glances, each seeing a glint of cunning in the other's eyes. They nodded to each other and reached a consensus.
"Young Master Du, is what you say true?"
"We three old guys may look very old, but it seems like we've already stepped into our coffins."
"But in reality, the three of us old guys are still in our prime, and our cultivation has been stable at the Soul Douluo level for many years!"
"With our cultivation level, if we were to go all out, I'm afraid Young Master Du, you wouldn't be able to stop us from even one strike, especially Old Goat's terrifying Soul Breaking Spear attack!"
"Do you have a powerful backer to help you out, or are we three old guys suppressing our cultivation to the same level as you to fight you?"
The Old Bird, Bai He, gave a kind reminder, like a benevolent old man, and seemed to be considering Du Bai's needs in every way.
In fact, the Old Bird Bai He was afraid that this Young Master Du would not admit defeat after losing, or that losing would be too embarrassing, so he made an agreement with him in advance to avoid him going back on his word!
Furthermore, the Old Bird Bai He's words contained a hint of provocation towards Young Master Du Bai.
Young people are full of vigor and can't stand the thought of losing in one blow.
Perhaps after hearing what I said, Young Master Du will get carried away and decide to try it out to see if he can withstand the full force of my attack, Old Goat, and Niu Gao's attack!
In case something happens.
You can't blame those three old guys for this!
Goodnight, everyone! Good afternoon, good morning!! May everyone be happy, beautiful, and have everything go smoothly!
