The moment they reached the second floor, Lin Hao and the others spotted two familiar faces: Tang San and Yu Xiaogang!
Lin Hao felt somewhat helpless. Why had these two gotten together again? Could they really be destined to become master and disciple?
Still, since they had seen each other, it would be rude not to greet them. They had not truly fallen out yet, so he led the others over and said:
"Tang San, are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine. I was just exhausted earlier. Teacher already treated me, and I'm much better now.
Still, thank you for going easy on me. We can spar again when we get the chance!"
Seeing Lin Hao immediately put Tang San in a sour mood, but Yu Xiaogang had already told him about Lin Hao.
He knew the other boy was a Martial Arts Maniac, so there was no way for him to retaliate. He could only remember this grudge.
After all, Lin Hao only had level-one Innate Soul Power, while he possessed Innate Full Soul Power and had a teacher to guide him. Surpassing Lin Hao was only a matter of time!
"Sure. After fighting you today, I broke through to level ten. I'm treating everyone in the dorm to a meal. Want to join us?"
It was obvious from Lin Hao's words that he did not actually want Tang San to come. He was rubbing salt into Tang San's wounds again and again!
If Tang San had truly been nothing more than a six-year-old child, he naturally would not have caught on. Unfortunately, he was not!
Tang San shook his head and said:
"No. I already agreed to eat with Teacher."
Lin Hao did not insist. He nodded and said regretfully:
"All right, then. I'll treat you to a meal alone another time."
With that, he led the others to the ordering window.
After ordering, the group sat together and chatted merrily. As they talked, Wang Sheng sighed.
"I never thought Tang San would take Grandmaster as his teacher!"
"Yeah, he's only six and already so strong. No matter what, he shouldn't have taken Grandmaster as his teacher!"
"Maybe Grandmaster tricked him. Tang San just arrived, so he doesn't know the academy's teachers."
After hearing that, Xiao Wu asked in confusion:
"That Grandmaster looks pretty kind. Why can't he be Tang San's teacher?"
"First, he isn't an academy teacher, so he isn't allowed to take academy students as disciples. That violates the rules.
Second, Grandmaster is nearly fifty years old, yet he's only a level-twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster.
For a genius like Tang San to take him as a teacher is like casting a pearl into darkness. He could easily be led down the wrong path!"
The group all chimed in to introduce Yu Xiaogang's background. In short, they unanimously believed that Tang San had been deceived.
After hearing them out, Xiao Wu felt that, as the boss of Dorm Seven, she had to take responsibility for every student.
She decided that when Tang San returned, she would tell him about all this. She could not let him keep being fooled!
After the group finished eating, Wang Sheng and the others took Xiao Wu around to familiarize her with the academy and its surroundings.
Lin Hao went to spar with Li Si instead, while also discussing their plans to hunt for a soul ring.
With Long Xiaoyao, a Limit Douluo, and Xian Lin'er, a Shrek Academy instructor, Lin Hao believed he would be able to find a suitable soul ring.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Tang San should also be going to hunt for a soul ring soon.
There would even be an accident along the way. When the time came, he could give Tang San and Yu Xiaogang something to deal with.
After discussing everything, Lin Hao went home again. He planned to spend some money and summon another batch of minions.
Over this period, he had earned a considerable sum through various means. He planned to round out the number of ordinary minions.
So far, every minion he had summoned had been a Red Minion. Lin Hao refused to believe his luck was that bad!
After burning incense, bathing, and worshipping every deity he could think of, Lin Hao gave an order in his mind:
"System, summon sixty minions for me!"
Congratulations, Host. You have spent 600 Gold Soul Coins and obtained sixty minions: 58 Red Minions and 2 Orange Minions. Would you like to wager an additional 2,700 Gold Soul Coins to guarantee that the minions are born in peak condition?
"Damn, orange ones finally showed up! Add the wager!"
Lin Hao slapped his thigh and said happily.
Wager successful. All sixty ordinary minions have been upgraded to peak condition!
"The two Orange Minions, come to me. Tell the others to go to Zhao's BBQ Restaurant in separate time slots and report to Zhang San. Keep everything else unchanged!"
As you wish, Host!
Lin Hao hurriedly checked the information on the two Orange Minions.
Orange Minion Zhao Kai. Martial Soul: Tang Blade. Level 45 assault-type Soul Ancestor. Soul rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple. Orange Minion Huang Chao. Martial Soul: Silver Pen. Level 39 control-type Soul Elder. Soul rings: yellow, yellow, purple. Finance level 6, management level 5. Note: the maximum skill level is 9!
"System, why do ordinary minions come with skills?"
Before the Host breaks through level 30, 99.99% of the ordinary minions summoned will be Red Minions. If minions of other grades are summoned, they have an extremely high probability of carrying skills!
"Damn, no wonder all I got before were red ones whenever I summoned! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The system believed the Host's intelligence was sufficient to figure that out!
"Uh, you're the system, so you're awesome. I want to know, before I break through level fifty, is the chance of summoning Yellow Minions also very low?"
Yes. The grade of minions the Host summons is closely related to the Host's strength, so please cultivate diligently!
"Got it. Looks like I need to make a trip to Sunset Forest as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knows when I'll reach level thirty."
Lin Hao nodded. These two Orange Minions had arrived at just the right time, especially Huang Chao.
Originally, Lin Hao had planned to have Xian Lin'er open a Soul Tool shop in Heaven Dou City after she finished testing the Soul Tool. Now, he had found the shop manager!
Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, Huang Chao and Zhao Kai arrived in the courtyard one after the other.
The instant they saw Lin Hao, the two hurried forward.
"Big Brother, your little brothers Zhao Kai and Huang Chao have come to join you!"
Lin Hao grasped both their hands and said with a faint smile:
"Brothers, you came at exactly the right time!"
After the three chatted for a while, Lin Hao gave them a sum of money and sent them to Heaven Dou City to look for a suitable storefront.
Afterward, Lin Hao remained in the courtyard for a while longer. He went out for dinner, then returned to Notting College.
When he reached the dormitory, no one else was there. He had no idea what they had gone off to do.
Lin Hao did not pay it any mind. He lay straight down on his bed and closed his eyes to rest. He was thinking about how to increase his cultivation speed.
Thinking through everything in Douluo, it seemed that aside from Immortal Herbs and Soul Bones, there was only one other way to increase one's strength: gods.
But aside from the latter, the first two had limited effects unless he could summon something like an alchemist.
Lin Hao had gone through too much that day, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.
"Lin Hao, wake up!"
After an unknown amount of time, a sudden voice jolted Lin Hao awake.
Although his cultivation was not high yet, he was still quite alert. He instinctively opened his eyes and found himself looking straight at an adorable, pretty face.
Xiao Wu looked at Lin Hao strangely and asked:
"What time is it? How did you fall asleep already?"
Seeing Xiao Wu's face so close to his, Lin Hao awkwardly climbed to his feet and answered:
"I was a little tired, so I rested for a while. What did you all go do just now? Why wasn't there a single person in the dorm?"
Lin Hao noticed that all the Work-study Students had returned, but Tang San was not among them.
