Four Little Ones Prepare to Hunt Their First Over-Limit Soul Rings
Flender and Liu Erlong were somewhat dazed when they heard Yu Xiaogang's words again, which he used to say all the time. Yu Xiaogang had finally come true.
Flender looked at the file in his hand with a complicated expression. The line about Innate Soul Power level 2 and the suggested age for the First Soul Ring was so dazzling. He turned to look at Su Yuntao's resolute little face beside him.
Flender suddenly wondered if he was wrong. Did Shrek Academy have to accept children with high talent? It seemed that geniuses with exceptional talent could succeed anywhere.
Yu Xiaogang smiled as he looked at Liu Erlong, who had an incredulous expression, and Flender, whose eyes held a complex look, and said:
"Boss Flender, Second Dragon Sister, if you don't believe me, you can use your Soul Power to check Su Yuntao and Si Si. They will definitely not let you down. I believe in my ability to teach my disciples! I would never joke about my disciples' future!"
Flender, as if waking from a dream, grabbed Su Yuntao's arm, probing him with his Soul Power while simultaneously feeling his body's strength by touching his bones. Then, with a look of astonishment, he clicked his tongue in amazement and said to Yu Xiaogang, "Wow! Xiaogang, you're amazing! How did you teach your disciple? You've turned a useless level 2 Innate Soul Power into a genius? Is there some secret?"
After Flender finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow at Yu Xiaogang. Yu Xiaogang felt that Flender hadn't changed at all; he was still as eccentric as ever.
Liu Erlong also examined Si Si. She cared a lot about this little girl who shared the same fate. She carefully examined Si Si, who was also an orphan. Si Si blushed a little when Liu Erlong touched her, but she still persevered. It was good enough that she didn't run away on the spot.
"Indeed Si Si's physical attributes are comparable to a second-ring Soul Master, and she can easily withstand the First Soul Ring for 700 years. Xiaogang, your years of theoretical research have finally yielded results!"
Yu Xiaogang smiled mysteriously at Flender and Liu Erlong and said, "This involves a secret that no one in the Douluo Continent knows. Let's eat first and I'll explain it to you while we eat. You'll know then!"
After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he took the initiative to pull Bibi Dong to sit in the main seat. Liu Erlong snorted and pulled Si Si to sit opposite Bibi Dong. Flender sat down next to Liu Erlong and served her tea and water.
Su Yuntao blushed and fidgeted, Si Si couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled him over and pressed him down into the seat next to her! Honestly, Su Yuntao usually seems so carefree, but Si Si has to take the initiative! So annoying.
Xiao Zhan and Wang Dachui didn't have much time for that; they simply sat down and waited for Teacher Yu Xiaogang to start eating.
Bibi Dong unconditionally trusted Xiaogang Yu Xiaogang, believing that everything he said was based on evidence. She had no worries about whether Xiao Zhan and Wang Dachui could withstand Spirit Ring that exceeded their lifespan, and she approved of Xiaogang's theoretical knowledge.
After Bibi Dong sat down, she looked at Liu Erlong, who was sitting opposite her with an unhappy expression. She wanted to provoke her a little, since Liu Erlong always opposed her. Then she turned to Yu Xiaogang, blinked her watery eyes, and whispered:
"Xiaogang, I want to eat that Salt-Baked Azure Dragon, but it's too hot. Could you peel it for me, Xiaogang?"
Unable to resist Bibi Dong's coquettish charm, Yu Xiaogang instinctively picked up the largest shrimp and began peeling it for Bibi Dong. He then placed the snow-white shrimp meat in Bibi Dong 'Yu Xiaogang bowl.
Then Bibi Dong began to elegantly savor her food, her eyes occasionally glancing at Liu Erlong across from her, wondering how this nominal rival would react. Liu Erlong felt like she was about to explode with anger, her chopsticks creaking in her hand. Seeing the situation turning sour, Flender intervened, saying, "Second Dragon Sister, would you like some? I'll get it for you! Today is a wonderful day for our Golden Iron Triangle to reunite."
After Flender finished speaking, he placed several of the most expensive dishes in Liu Erlong's bowl, and then lightly nudged Liu Erlong with his elbow, mindful of the occasion—after all, this was Yu Xiaogang's first real treat. Yu Xiaogang's apprentice was still there! He didn't want to scare the child.
Liu Erlong could only sulk, biting down hard with each bite to vent her pent-up frustration. Flender helped by pouring juice and serving food, while he himself just ate a few bites.
Bibi Dong didn't get the result she wanted, but it wasn't bad either. She was in a good mood watching her nominal rival get humiliated, and she would tell Yu Xiaogang from time to time that she wanted to eat this or that, thoroughly enjoying Yu Xiaogang's feeding.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere of the confrontation at the dinner table, Su Yuntao and his three friends could only frantically eat, hoping time would pass quickly! The meal ended amidst the standoff between Su Yuntao Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, much to the relief of the four. Finally, they were done! Dining with teachers and friends was torture!
At this moment, Si Si leaned close to Su Yuntao's ear, placed her small hand on the soft flesh of Su Yuntao's waist, and warned him in a threatening tone:
"Su Yuntao! I agree to be your girlfriend! But if you ever dare to flirt around like your teacher, I'll teach you a lesson! Understand?"
Su Yuntao's brain completely shut down when Sisi Si Si got so close, feeling Si Si warm breath and hearing her say she agreed to be his girlfriend.
Si Si Su Yuntao blush and act coy like a little girl, Sisi was furious. She grabbed Su Yuntao's waist and spun him around 180 degrees, causing Su Yuntao to jump up with a cry of "Oh!"
The previously silent atmosphere in the private room was instantly broken, and everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the subtle interaction between Si Si and Su Yuntao. Liu Erlong stepped forward, put her arm around Sisi, Si Si patted her head, and said to Su Yuntao, "Su Yuntao, you little rascal, you better treat our Si Si better from now on! If I ever find out you've bullied Si Si, see how I deal with you! I treat Si Si like my own little sister. If Si Si Su Yuntao ever dares to bully you, just tell your sister, and I'll stand up for you!"
After Liu Erlong finished speaking, she glanced at Yu Xiaogang with a complicated look in her eyes, which seemed to have a hidden meaning. Yu Xiaogang could only respond to Liu Erlong's gaze with an awkward yet polite smile.
Liu Erlong grabbed Si Si and Su Yuntao by the arms and said urgently:
"We've finished eating, let's hurry up and go Soul Hunting! I'll show you what it's like to fly! Boss Flender, come help me! You take Su Yuntao and I'll take Si Si, get to the inn on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest as fast as we can before tonight! Rest for the night and head straight into the Star Dou Great Forest to Soul Hunting tomorrow!"
Flender gasped. Notting City was quite far from the Star Dou Great Forest! It seemed like another tough task ahead. But what could he do? It was a task that Liu Erlong had assigned on a whim. He could only do his best to complete it.
Yu Xiaogang started to feel a headache coming on as he watched Liu Erlong rush off with Si Si. He wondered when Liu Erlong's fiery temper would change. Being carried through the air was no pleasant experience; Flender used to do it all the time, and he knew it all too well from his memories.
Yu Xiaogang stopped Liu Erlong and Flender, took out a black and gold belt from his pocket, which was inlaid with eight blue translucent gemstones, and said to Flender:
"Boss Flender, this is an upgraded replica of my Storage Soul Tool that I reverse-engineered. Each gem has a 10-cubic-meter space. I've put some trinkets inside; I hope you like them, Boss Flender! I didn't know you were coming over with that Second Dragon Sister; I'll make up for the gift next time! Don't worry, it won't be any worse than Boss Flender's!"
Liu Erlong was a little unhappy that she hadn't received a gift, but after hearing that Yu Xiaogang would make it up to her later, she asked:
"Xiaogang, you said it yourself! But Xiaogang, you're really amazing. You even managed to reverse engineer the completely lost method of making Soul Tool! You truly deserve the title of Grandmaster!"
There will be another chapter tonight. I'm thinking of watching The Return of the South China Sea with my wife tonight. Updates might be a little late. It's the end of the month, so please give me your monthly votes and add this to your favorites! Thank you, dear readers!
