At least in Tang Hao's view, rather than incur Du Cheng's displeasure by trying to fob him off, it was better to bleed a little directly.
"Many thanks, Clear Sky Douluo."
The facts proved that Tang Hao's actions had been entirely correct.
Taking the soul bone, Du Cheng broke into a broad smile.
"As expected of Hao Tian Mianxia, who dared to charge into Spirit Hall. I wonder how you're feeling right now?"
"If you're not feeling well, could you hit me a couple more times?"
"No need!"
The moment Du Cheng finished speaking, Tang Hao's mouth twitched violently.
One hit cost me a soul bone. I, Tang, am not wealthy enough for that.
Ignoring Du Cheng's regretful gaze, Tang Hao turned to the woman beside him.
"Next, I'll have to ask Your Excellency to make a move."
As he spoke, Tang Hao swiftly circulated the Soul Power within him, protecting himself tightly.
Even he did not dare to be careless when taking a strike from a Limit Douluo head-on.
"Alright!"
A flash of white light passed by. The grass around them was not even disturbed, yet Tang Hao dropped to his knees with a thud.
That was how precise a Limit Douluo's control over their own power was.
Pfft—
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tang Hao's face turned pale.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Your Excellency. Tang Hao must recover from his injuries, so I'll take my leave first."
After speaking, Tang Hao merely cupped his hands before vanishing from the spot.
Du Cheng did not pay much attention to Tang Hao's departure.
I, Du, have always been kind and benevolent. He apologized, gave me a gift, and even took a beating. I can't exactly refuse to let him leave, can I?
Of course, the truth was that Du Cheng was somewhat wary of Tang Hao.
This guy only had the strength of level 95, but he had mastered the divine skill Ring Burst. If Du Cheng could not kill him within ten minutes, then he would be the unlucky one.
Since that was the case, he might as well take the chance to demand some benefits. At the very least, it would make Tang Hao more wary of him.
However, after what had happened today, Du Cheng made up his mind.
Starting tomorr... no, starting now, I, Du Cheng, am going to frantically build bonds!
If I can draw three or four Limit Douluos, even if they only last ten minutes each, they can still take turns beating Tang Hao half to death!
"Seven minutes left. Help me fuse the soul bone."
Glancing at the time, Du Cheng directly gave the woman beside him an order.
Since he had already summoned her, he naturally had to make the most of her.
"Yes."
The woman nodded without refusing.
Under normal circumstances, a Soul Master needed to spend a great deal of time and Soul Power to refine a soul bone. But with a Limit Douluo assisting at any cost, things were naturally different.
With the woman's help, the connection between Du Cheng and the soul bone rapidly strengthened.
"Success!"
As the woman spoke, Du Cheng successfully learned the effects of the soul bone.
First was the increase in Soul Power. After successfully absorbing the soul bone, Du Cheng's Soul Power directly rose to level 20. As long as he absorbed his Second Soul Ring, he could break through to become a Soul Grandmaster at any time.
Next was its soul skill. The skill attached to this soul bone was called Gravity Amplification.
As long as he expended Soul Power, Du Cheng could increase the weight of a target object, but this effect did not work on Du Cheng himself.
Simply put, as long as Du Cheng had enough Soul Power, he could even make a feather weigh as much as a mountain, yet that feather's weight would not affect him at all.
Feeling the additional power within him, even Du Cheng could not help letting out a sigh.
"They dragged me out in the middle of the night just to give me a gift. Tang San's family really produces nothing but good people."
After making that remark, Du Cheng turned and headed toward the Seventh Dormitory.
By the time the soul bone fusion was complete, the summoning duration had already ended, so he did not need to pay much attention to the woman.
"Cheng Gege, where did you go?"
The moment he returned to the Seventh Dormitory, Du Cheng felt Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's worried gazes.
"I went to the back mountain."
He reached out and rubbed each of their heads a few times, a broad smile appearing on his face.
"I met a good person just now. He insisted on giving me a great treasure, so I had no choice but to go out."
"Really?"
Xiao Wu's eyes were full of curiosity as she looked at Du Cheng.
"What kind of treasure did he give Cheng Gege?"
"This treasure is incredible."
The corners of Du Cheng's mouth lifted as he deliberately put on a mysterious expression.
"It can grow long or short, hard or soft. It's simply wonderfully mysterious."
"Isn't that just your carrot?"
Du Cheng had clearly only been joking, but Xiao Wu rolled her eyes after hearing his words.
"He spent all that time just giving you that? That person is way too stingy."
"You're right."
Du Cheng was briefly stunned by Xiao Wu's words, then nodded with a serious expression.
"When I meet him again next time, I'll definitely make him give me something more valuable."
As he spoke, Du Cheng glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, whose face had turned red.
They're both girls, but it seems this girl isn't just more developed than Xiao Wu physically!
"That's more like it."
Not noticing Du Cheng's gaze, Xiao Wu was quite satisfied that her Cheng Gege was so willing to take her advice.
"It's already dark, Cheng Gege. Can we go to sleep now?"
"That's right."
Du Cheng nodded, once again showing his support for Xiao Wu.
"Judging by the time, it really is time to sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Cheng quickly climbed into bed and burrowed beneath the covers.
He was not an idiot like Scum San, staying up all night cultivating during the time when he should be growing. No wonder that guy was ugly. It must be because he stayed up too much.
"Y-you two..."
While Du Cheng was inwardly mocking him, Zhu Zhuqing, who had just climbed into bed, could not help voicing her confusion.
"You sleep under the same covers?"
Watching Xiao Wu crawl into Du Cheng's covers the moment she got into bed, Zhu Zhuqing wore a strange expression.
"That's right."
Xiao Wu nodded and answered Zhu Zhuqing's question herself.
"I'm scared to sleep alone, so I sleep with Cheng Gege."
"Zhu Jiejie, you don't have a blanket either, so why don't you sleep under mine?"
Compared to Xiao Wu, Tang San in the bed opposite was even more excited.
Clenching his teeth, Tang San tried hard not to laugh out loud.
Hahaha, she finally noticed. Hurry up and get angry!
In Tang San's view, Zhu Zhuqing would definitely see through Du Cheng's true colors next and become angry, perhaps even heartbroken.
At that point, as long as he comforted her a little and quietly displayed his talent of Innate Full Soul Power and Dual Martial Soul, would he not be able to seize the chance to win over a beauty?
Imagination was beautiful, but reality was painfully thin.
"Cheng Gege, I want to sleep with you too!"
Although her voice was soft from embarrassment, Zhu Zhuqing's words were still perfectly clear in the silent dormitory.
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Tang San nearly fainted from rage on the spot.
Why? Why exactly?!
