At night, Mo Lang's dormitory.
"Xiao Wu, you already bought a blanket, so why are you crawling into mine?"
Mo Lang had been sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a soft, fragrant body slip into his bedding. She even wrapped around him like an octopus, waking him at once.
"This is how I sleep at home. What are you afraid of?"
Like a little hooligan, Xiao Wu clung to Mo Lang and refused to let go.
For some reason, sleeping while holding Mo Lang made her feel incredibly secure. There was also a pleasant scent on him that put her at ease.
Xiao Wu made no effort to hide it, causing the other dorm members who had been asleep to wake up one after another. They perked up their ears and listened from beneath their blankets.
Tang San, who slept beside them, was no exception. As he marveled at how precocious children in this world were, he also admired Lang-ge's methods.
He could make a move at such a young age? What a beast!
Sluuurp.
"..."
Feeling the soft, jade-like body in his arms, Mo Lang's thoughts began to wander. But when he saw that little loli face, he instantly sobered up and silently recited, What a sin.
She was still a child, and so was he. This wasn't fit for broadcast.
"A Lang, I can't sleep. I want to go for a walk," Xiao Wu said as she lay in Mo Lang's arms. For some reason, she suddenly missed home.
"Alright. Let's go outside to look at the stars and moon. I'll also show you a treasure while we're at it." Seeing the lonely look on Xiao Wu's face, Mo Lang knew she must be homesick. How could such a young girl not miss home when she was all alone outside?
"A treasure? What treasure?" Xiao Wu grew curious at Mo Lang's words, and the others in the dorm were equally curious.
"It can grow bigger or smaller, longer and thicker!" Mo Lang described his Ruyi Jingu Bang. As for Pangu's Heaven-Opening Axe, he could not summon it yet, so there was no point mentioning it.
"You're awful! I'm still young! How can you show me something like that?"
After hearing Mo Lang's description, Xiao Wu's fair little face immediately turned red. Looking bashful, she covered her eyes.
"..."
The others widened their eyes beneath their blankets. Was Lang-ge's move really this wild?
I have that treasure too!
"..."
Mo Lang looked at Xiao Wu, the corner of his mouth twitching. It seemed he had underestimated Xiao Wu's breadth of knowledge.
"What are you thinking? I was talking about my martial soul." Mo Lang looked at Xiao Wu teasingly.
"Ah~" Seeing the smile on Mo Lang's face, Xiao Wu blushed even harder. Then she pouted and said, "I was thinking about your martial soul. You're the one whose mind went crooked!"
"Hahaha." Seeing Xiao Wu like this, Mo Lang stopped teasing her. He took her hand and led her outside.
Half a year later.
On the back mountain of Notting College, Mo Lang sat cross-legged beneath the vast heavens. Under the effects of the Starfall Art, boundless Star Power invisible to ordinary people surged wildly into his body.
Half a year had passed since Mo Lang received the Four Chaos Monkeys Gift Pack. After half a year of cultivation, his Soul Power had reached the peak of level 29!
And today was the day he would break through to become a Soul Elder!
Pop!
The sound of a bottleneck shattering echoed within Mo Lang's body. The previously calm Star Power immediately began spinning wildly.
Mo Lang seemed to transform into a black hole, frantically devouring Star Power from every direction. In an instant, the Star Power filling the sky formed a massive stellar vortex above him, pouring into his body and transforming into Soul Power.
If Yu Xiaogang were here, he would definitely know that Mo Lang had reached the Soul Elder realm and was replenishing the Soul Power his body required.
After all, the amount of Soul Power needed to break through each major realm was worlds apart.
After a long while.
Mo Lang opened his eyes, revealing a pair of dazzling pupils glimmering with starlight. Bright and clear, they seemed to contain revolving stars, making others afraid to meet his gaze directly.
Ding!
Then, three Spirit Rings emitting black light appeared behind Mo Lang one after another. Everyone was familiar with the first two: the Spiritual Stone Monkey Spirit Ring and the Red Butt Horse Monkey Spirit Ring.
As for the third, it was the third Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring Mo Lang had obtained from the Four Chaos Monkeys Gift Pack upon entering the Soul Elder realm today!
"I never expected my Third Spirit Ring to be the Six-Eared Macaque's Good Listening Sound."
After hearing the system prompt, Mo Lang checked the descriptions of the soul skills attached to his three Spirit Rings.
As everyone knew, the Six-Eared Macaque had six ears and possessed the attribute of Good Listening Sound. Its meaning was that it could hear even the faintest sounds clearly—the Thousand-Mile Ear people often spoke of!
In other words, within a thousand miles centered on Mo Lang, he could hear every slightest movement with perfect clarity. Of course, he could also filter out unnecessary noise at will.
Otherwise, if every sound flooded his mind, his head would probably explode.
With the addition of the third Spirit Ring, Mo Lang's strength had reached the level of a level 32 Soul Elder. At this pace, it would probably take another two years for him to advance to the Soul Ancestor realm.
If his strength were sufficient, he would already be heading to Poison Douluo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to harvest all the immortal herbs inside and bring them home.
"Ah, no point thinking so much. Let's see whether this Thousand-Mile Ear works well."
Mo Lang revealed his Spirit Rings, and his ears immediately seemed able to listen to all things. All kinds of sounds were instantly amplified in his ears. Fortunately, Mo Lang had been prepared and filtered out the useless noises, preventing himself from being overwhelmed by the countless sounds.
Under Mo Lang's control, he could clearly hear even the sound of ants crawling a thousand miles away. Combined with his Golden Eyes, he was practically the Second Baby!
Now he no longer needed to worry about anyone launching a sneak attack. Any assassin's invisibility was useless in his eyes.
Especially when paired with the Red Butt Horse Monkey's Auspicious Avoidance skill, it was simply a matter of fighting if he could win and running if he could not. His life was suddenly guaranteed.
"There is still some time before the fifth sign-in point, when Tang San first joins Shrek Academy. Before then, let's see if I can reach the Soul Ancestor realm—or even the Soul King realm!"
Mo Lang put away his Spirit Rings. Thinking of how the fifth sign-in was still several years away, he did not feel discouraged at all.
After all, the story of Douluo Continent would only truly begin after joining Shrek Academy. Before that, he had more than enough time to develop himself.
Just like that, another half year passed in the blink of an eye, and Mo Lang and the other two's first semester at Notting College came to an end.
The three of them prepared to return to Holy Soul Village to visit Old Jack. Although Old Jack came back from time to time to visit Mo Lang, Tang Hao had not come even once. Tang San missed his father as well.
Mo Lang did not tell Tang San anything about his father, because there was no need to. Tang Hao's affairs were not something he could help with at his current level.
Holy Soul Village.
"Boss, this is the village. I heard that the village chief somehow struck it rich. There are at least ten thousand Gold Soul Coins in his home!"
Three middle-aged men with fluctuations of Soul Power around them looked at Old Jack's newly renovated large house, greed flashing in their eyes.
