The Benefactor Among the Strong

"With the First Soul Skill paired with the Second Soul Skill, maybe I can give those people who look down on me a proper lesson!"

"I'm not that useless Yu Xiaogang! You dare call my martial soul a useless martial soul, dare say my Nightmare can only fart? Today, I'll make every last one of you fart and shit yourselves!

"Nightmare will become your nightmare!"

Yu Chenglong silently clenched his fists. Revenge—he had to have his revenge.

The path Yu Chenglong had chosen was the result of long deliberation, not merely a desire for revenge.

"Once I get back, I'll rest up properly, reinforce my foundation, then head to the Soul Fighting Arena to obtain resources!"

Yu Chenglong silently mapped out his plans.

At the Soul Fighting Arena, he could release a ring of poisonous tumor mist around himself, then throw a ring of poisonous tumor mist at his opponent.

Once an opponent approached the poison mist, they would fart and shit themselves, their Soul Power leaking away.

Yu Chenglong believed that under everyone's watchful eyes, in full public view, no opponent would disregard their dignity and let themselves fart and shit themselves just to take him down.

Once they shit themselves, they would definitely surrender.

Especially Soul Grand Masters at my level. They're all young, and they care about their pride!

They can't afford that kind of humiliation!

Yu Chenglong had thoroughly studied the psychology of Soul Masters his own age.

Besides.

Inside the poison mist, visibility was blurred. Yu Chenglong held the advantage!

He was not afraid of close-quarters combat either.

Though Yu Chenglong looked thin, Nightmare's First Soul Skill had previously been ineffective.

So Yu Chenglong had always trained his body. His physical condition was excellent, and he had actively learned to use cold weapons such as daggers.

That was why, when Yu Chenglong had chased the Demon Tumor Tree, he had wielded a dagger with such seasoned movements.

Resources, resources!

Born into an ordinary branch family of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,

Yu Chenglong had to work several more jobs than others just to obtain Soul Coins and resources.

The Soul Fighting Arena was a good source of financial resources, provided he had the strength.

"I believe the improved effects of these Soul Skills will definitely make my opponents fart and shit themselves!"

"Even if an opponent is several levels above me, they won't dare stay within the range of my poison mist for too long!"

Yu Chenglong thought to himself.

Only that useless Yu Xiaogang would think of using farts to blast and stink out his opponents.

My Nightmare will make their Soul Power leak away, make them fart and shit themselves, and leave them in a miserable state!

Nightmare will become a demon they will never forget for the rest of their lives!

"Good thing that soul-hunting team took away the Ghost Vine during the day. Otherwise, I wouldn't have encountered an even better Demon Tumor Tree!"

"Heaven must be feeding me. Am I right, Little Dream?"

Yu Chenglong said to Nightmare with a smile.

Its round head pressed against Yu Chenglong's leg, as though it were saying, yes, yes!

That Ghost Vine had been Yu Chenglong's helpless choice.

If he could, Yu Chenglong would have loved to select some soul beasts suited to Nightmare's martial soul.

Unfortunately, because of the precedent set by Yu Xiaogang's Three Puffs, no one thought highly of Yu Chenglong's Nightmare at all.

As a result, even when hunting soul beasts, Yu Chenglong could only come out and try his luck by himself.

Who would have thought that he would actually find one by trying?

The Demon Tumor Tree was Yu Chenglong's best choice!

All of this was thanks to Du Bai using the AK-47 Fire Qilin to practice his marksmanship today and crippling those soul beasts, giving Yu Chenglong the chance to pick up the leftovers.

"Still, the person I should thank most is that peerless expert who injured these soul beasts!"

"If he hadn't injured them, I wouldn't have been able to hunt the Demon Tumor Tree!"

"Little Dream, that peerless expert is our benefactor!"

Yu Chenglong spoke to Nightmare, then pulled Nightmare a few steps back.

"Little Dream, let's thank our powerful benefactor."

As he spoke, Yu Chenglong heavily kowtowed three times toward the Demon Tumor Tree, in the direction of the depths of Sunset Forest.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yu Chenglong kowtowed with great effort and sincerity, smashing three forehead-shaped dents into the dirt.

Nightmare at his side was adorable as well, copying Yu Chenglong with convincing imitation.

However, its four short, thick little legs made the movement very difficult. Its plump, round body nearly rolled away.

"Thank you, benefactor. May you one day become a Titled Douluo!"

Yu Chenglong stood up and glanced at the dead Demon Tumor Tree and the depths of Sunset Forest.

Yu Chenglong was only fifteen or sixteen. His heart was pure and kind.

He repaid kindness with kindness and avenged grudges with vengeance. At this age, he yearned to become stronger.

That was why his blessing for Du Bai was also about becoming stronger—he wished for Du Bai to become a Titled Douluo.

Though it was rather ridiculous and comical, it was Yu Chenglong's most sincere blessing and gratitude.

"Come on, let's find somewhere to clean ourselves up!"

Yu Chenglong gently stroked Nightmare's soft, honest, adorable head and spoke softly.

But just as Yu Chenglong was about to leave, he caught a fleeting glimpse of an almost imperceptible flash of green light on the Demon Tumor Tree.

When light flickered inside a soul beast's corpse, there was only one possibility.

A soul bone.

A soul bone?

Yu Chenglong's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a bold idea surfaced in his mind.

No! How could it be a soul bone!

Yu Chenglong denied it inwardly, yet his heart pounded as he decided to go forward and take a look.

Yu Chenglong moved swiftly.

Crack—

Rip—

Slice—

Yu Chenglong picked up the dagger. Ignoring the sour stench and the disgusting shit-green liquid, he began to dissect the body of the Demon Tumor Tree.

Little Dream obediently watched from the side.

Very soon.

Yu Chenglong found the source of that green glimmer inside the Demon Tumor Tree.

The green light came from a bone that was dark green all over.

A dark green bone. A soul bone!

Yes, that was right—it was a soul bone!

Yu Chenglong's heart suddenly began pounding violently. He looked around and saw no one.

Then Yu Chenglong carefully dug out the translucent, dark-green bone flowing with green light from the Demon Tumor Tree's body.

It truly was a dark-green soul bone, and it was a Demon Tumor Tree head soul bone!

Soul bones were immensely precious.

Even among a hundred thousand soul beasts, one soul bone might not appear.

Yet now, Yu Chenglong had obtained one!

And it had come from the Demon Tumor Tree that had given him his Second Soul Ring!

Yu Chenglong was so excited that his entire body began trembling. Even the hand holding the Demon Tumor Tree skull bone shook.

Fuse it!

I have to fuse it as soon as possible!

The first thought that arose in Yu Chenglong's mind was to fuse this Demon Tumor Tree skull bone!

This thing was incomparably precious. If another Soul Master discovered it,

he would likely be killed for it.

"Little Dream... I... I'm going to fuse this skull bone... Help keep watch for me!"

Yu Chenglong was so excited that even his voice trembled.

Nightmare naturally sensed the severity and importance of the matter. Its gentle gaze turned sharp as it vigilantly watched the surroundings.

"Fuse!"

Yu Chenglong swiftly raised the dark-green Demon Tumor Tree skull bone and brought it into contact with his head.

Perhaps because Yu Chenglong's First and Second Soul Rings had come from a Green Tumor Tree and a Demon Tumor Tree respectively,

the moment the Demon Tumor Tree soul bone touched Yu Chenglong's head, it was as though it had encountered family. It instantly rushed into his head, seeking to merge with Yu Chenglong.
