Extorting Xiao Chenyu

Extorting Xiao Chenyu

Wang Sheng sighed in admiration.

"Boss really is the boss. His First Soul Skill is so powerful—it took down five of Xiao Chenyu's people in an instant."

At that moment, one of the Little Henchmen standing behind Wang Sheng asked in confusion.

"But... Boss clearly fired the ice spikes from the front. Why are Ling Feng and the other five covering their butts?"

Wang Sheng froze for a moment before replying.

"What do you know? Maybe they panicked and tried to run, then got hit in the butt when they turned around?"

The Little Henchman nodded as though he understood. It seemed to make sense, so he stopped asking.

Xiao Wu, who stood at the very front, had seen everything on the field clearly. Not only did she find nothing wrong with it, she became even more excited. So this is how fights can be fought? I have to try it next time.

Back on the field, Xiao Chenyu, who had witnessed it all, unconsciously clenched his butt and swallowed.

"Se... no... Brother, I surrender. I won't fight anymore... I'll apologize to your friends..."

But Yin Hao shook his head without answering.

Xiao Chenyu was nearly in tears as he looked at Yin Hao pleadingly.

"Boss, you'll be my boss from now on. Whatever you tell me to do, I won't say a word against it."

Only then did Yin Hao nod. Wouldn't it have been better if you'd said that from the start?

He then said,

"Your people injured my brothers. You should at least pay some medical expenses..."

Xiao Chenyu looked at Ling Feng and the others, who were still lying on the ground and howling, then at Wang Sheng and the others behind Yin Hao, who were lively as ever while watching the show. The corner of his mouth twitched, but he did not dare argue. He could only say painfully,

"How about this, Boss? I'll give your brothers one hundred Gold Soul Coins for their treatment. How does that sound?"

That was the New Year's money he had saved up since childhood! In one go, nearly half of it was gone! But for the sake of his butt, he could only endure it.

To his surprise, Yin Hao shook his head. He casually summoned a Blue Silver Grass Ice Spike and toyed with it in his hand.

"Chenyu... that little money of yours makes things difficult for me..."

Then don't make things difficult! Xiao Chenyu roared inwardly, but when the words reached his lips, they became,

"Boss is right, it is a little too little. Then I'll add another hundred. Is that enough?"

Cowardly? Was this cowardly? This was following his heart!

Yet Yin Hao was still dissatisfied. He summoned another ice spike, and the two spikes knocked together with crisp cracking sounds. Every knock made Xiao Chenyu tremble in fear, terrified that if he was not careful, an ice spike would appear somewhere it absolutely should not.

"Boss, I... I'll add another hundred and fifty, all right? I really don't have any money left now... not even a single Copper Soul Coin..."

"Really none left?"

Yin Hao gave him a somewhat suspicious look.

"Really none!"

Xiao Chenyu was practically crying. When had he ever suffered such humiliation in all his life? Not only had he been beaten up, but the little treasury he had saved for eleven years had been extorted clean in one stroke.

Seeing that Xiao Chenyu truly seemed unable to produce any more money, Yin Hao nodded and withdrew the two ice spikes in his hands.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you'd done this from the start? I've always said that we're all from the same academy, so we should get along. As the saying goes, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine. Come on, get up off the ground. It's so cold down there—don't catch a chill..."

Watching Yin Hao change his expression as quickly as a Sichuan opera performer, Xiao Chenyu did not react for a while. He could only nod stupidly before Yin Hao helped him up. This was a service he had obtained in exchange for his entire fortune: a total of three hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins!

Actually, Yin Hao did not want to do this either. But who told him he had ended up with such a scamming System? He had gone into debt before even getting started, and the enormous interest was practically on par with loan shark rates. To repay the debt... he could only wrong Xiao Chenyu a little...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a year of academy life had ended.

During this time, Yin Hao constantly "showed kindness" to Yu Xiaogang and Tang San. Not only did this steadily raise their favorability toward him, it also allowed Yin Hao to obtain quite a few good things.

Take Soul Rings, for example. Tang San's four-hundred-year Soul Ring had already been plucked down to one hundred years by Yin Hao. However, Yin Hao had no intention of continuing, since another pluck would turn it into a ten-year Soul Ring. At that point, the yellow Soul Ring would turn white. What explanation could there be? It was not as if a hen could blink and turn into a duck.

Even Tang San would know something was wrong by then, no matter how foolish he was.

So, wool had to be plucked bit by bit. He could not shear the sheep to death in one go, or things would go badly. Thus, Yin Hao decided to keep the Soul Ring Year Limit he had obtained through his trades with Tang San for now, then continue plucking once Tang San acquired his second Soul Ring.

As for Yu Xiaogang? He had it even worse. He only had two Soul Rings in total. Yin Hao had already plucked his First Soul Ring bald, while his second Soul Ring had been reduced from nearly seven hundred years to four hundred years.

Although Yu Xiaogang felt that something was off, there were no soul tools in Douluo Continent 1 capable of checking a Soul Ring's age. Soul Rings could only be distinguished by their color, so he could not tell exactly what was wrong.

It was not only the Soul Ring Year Limit. Yin Hao had also traded Tang San for another 4% of his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. His bloodline purity should now be down to around 8%. Although his Soul Power level continued to rise, one-third of every level he cultivated would be "traded" away by Yin Hao. It was still increasing, but at an extremely slow pace. Still, since it was increasing, Tang San did not feel anything was amiss.

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, had unexpectedly given Yin Hao 5% of the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline. After the System conducted an investigation, it discovered that Yu Xiaogang actually possessed more than 40% Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline. This greatly surprised Yin Hao.

He remembered seeing posts in his previous life saying that Luo Sanpao's mutation had actually been a mutation in a positive direction. Its true mutated form was one of the dragon race's top bloodlines, the Golden Sacred Dragon. However, Yu Xiaogang himself was too weak to withstand the powerful Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline, which was why Luo Sanpao had become something neither pig nor dog.

When Yin Hao first obtained the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline through a "trade," he hesitated over whether to absorb it. After all, absorbing it would inevitably further dilute his human bloodline. If the Asura God and the others classified him as a soul beast because of that, he would be finished.

But while Yin Hao was hesitating, the System offered a perfect solution. He did not need to absorb it himself; he could store it in the System warehouse and fuse the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline into someone else whenever it was needed.

Yin Hao thought it over and felt it was feasible. After all, Liu Erlong also possessed a dragon-type martial soul. Once he won her over, he could fuse the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline into her.

That was right, this guy had already set his sights on Liu Erlong, whom he had never even met. After all, who could refuse a curvy older sister? You say I'm lustful? Am I that kind of person? I'm just afraid the children will go hungry!
