Hunting Soul Beasts Means Avoiding Grandmaster

Hunting Soul Beasts Means Avoiding Grandmaster

"Brother, why are you losing focus again?"

Xiao Wu was the one who sent Tang San flying.

Tang San landed face-first in the dirt and climbed to his feet, covered in dust.

"Xiao Wu." Tang San looked at her gently before saying, "Because I can't bear to see you get hurt."

After all, you still had plenty of suffering ahead of you.

This was another matter that troubled Tang San.

After carefully reviewing his past, he realized that many of his opportunities seemed to be tied to Xiao Wu.

If not for Xiao Wu, he would never have obtained the Eight Spider Lances, his greatest early advantage.

If not for Xiao Wu, he would never have gained his hundred-thousand-year Sixth Soul Ring.

If Xiao Wu had not suddenly returned from the dead during the Heaven Dou Palace Coup and appeared in soul form, scaring Qian Renxue pale, he would probably have already died.

If not to revive Xiao Wu, he would never have discarded his first few trash Soul Rings and nearly slaughtered every soul beast over fifty thousand years old in Sunset Forest.

But—

He had clearly promised time and again that he would never let Xiao Wu suffer even the slightest hardship again!

That had been true on Douluo Continent, and it had remained true on Fairy Continent.

So how could he still let Xiao Wu fall into danger when he already knew what was coming?

What was more, Xiao Wu had reincarnated with him this time as well.

They discovered this after spending some time together. Tang San would deliberately or unconsciously try to forge long-handled weapons for himself, hoping to use the Sea God's divine skills ahead of time.

Xiao Wu noticed.

After exchanging a few coded hints, they discovered that the other was in the exact same situation!

There was no hiding it anymore!

Sure enough, Xiao Wu pouted adorably. "Brother, can you really bear to let me face so many dangers again?"

"Of course not." Tang San put on his usual solemn expression and said, "If I knowingly let you risk your life, could I still call myself human?"

It turned out they had been sparring. Since both of them were reincarnators, they knew what the other needed to train. For example, Tang San had just wanted to use Hidden Weapons with their tips removed to test Xiao Wu's reactions.

Xiao Wu pursed her lips. "It's not that I don't trust you as your woman, it's just..."

Dying really hurt!

Tang San pulled Xiao Wu into his arms. "Xiao Wu, don't say that. Although we no longer have our divine senses after being reincarnated, we came back with our memories. Over the past year or so, I've found that the script hasn't changed. We just need to go through it normally again."

"If things are still going to follow the original path, does that mean you'll still want me to become your Sixth Soul Ring?" Xiao Wu buried her face in Tang San's chest and asked again.

Tang San's expression stiffened.

"No." Tang San spoke firmly. "Look, during this time, I've also been thinking about how to use the Sea God's divine skills ahead of time. With divine skills protecting us, how could we possibly lose?"

"Okay, I believe you." Xiao Wu rubbed her face against Tang San's chest.

"I wonder whether Mubai and the others were reincarnated too." Tang San sighed.

Then he thought of something and said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, this reincarnation has brought one variable."

Xiao Wu raised her head and asked curiously, "What is it?"

Tang San said helplessly, "I've already reached level twenty, so I may have to obtain my Second Soul Ring ahead of schedule."

In the original timeline, Tang San obtained his Second Soul Ring in the year 2640. At Grandmaster's invitation, the headmaster of Nuoding Academy had accompanied him to hunt for it.

More than six hundred years.

How could Tang San possibly endure that?

It was one thing for Yu Xiaogang to trick him when he had been ignorant in his previous life. How could he possibly let himself use such a trash Soul Ring this time?

In his opinion, his First Soul Ring should have come from a soul beast similar to a miniature Sky Azure Bull Python. After all, one of his ninth soul skills, Blue Silver Azure Dragon Bind: Resilience, looked just like Blue Silver Entanglement.

And his Second Soul Ring, Ghost Vine, simply did not suit him no matter how he looked at it.

If he had the choice, it should be a soul beast like a miniature Thunderous Prison Vine!

It was just that such soul beasts were difficult to find.

He would leave the Third Soul Ring unchanged.

He would see about the rest later.

"Then... are we still going to do this the same way as before?" Xiao Wu asked anxiously.

"No." Tang San shook his head. "Grandmaster happens to have gone elsewhere on business these past few days. I plan to speak to the headmaster of Nuoding Academy in advance and have him take me hunting for a more suitable soul beast."

When it came to hunting soul beasts, he had to avoid Grandmaster!

Otherwise, wouldn't his talent be buried?

Xiao Wu hesitated. "Well... all right. But you have to be careful."

Tang San gave a soft grunt and kissed Xiao Wu on the forehead.

"You're so annoying~" Xiao Wu lowered her head shyly.

"You two students! What are you doing out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" A female teacher from Nuoding Academy walked over and saw Tang San and Xiao Wu embracing on the grass.

"You! You two!" The female teacher saw Tang San kiss Xiao Wu and immediately strode over. "How old are you two? I remember you. Even when you were just over six, I thought something was off. Now you're not even pretending anymore, are you?"

"Especially you! You're not even nine and you already dare to kiss a little girl. What would you dare to do at nineteen? I don't even want to imagine it!" the female teacher said angrily.

Nineteen?

That was when Xiao Wu sacrificed herself for him!

The moment Tang San thought of that, his heart ached.

His eyes were instantly clouded with blood-red fury as he glared viciously at the female teacher, so enraged that white steam seemed ready to burst from his nostrils.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Wu immediately tugged at Tang San. "Brother, don't lower yourself to her level."

Tang San gradually regained his senses, then said righteously, "Xiao Wu is my sister, my family. You are not allowed to sully the feelings between us!"

You have already earned yourself death. Earned yourself death!

The female teacher was also frightened by Tang San's heavy-breathing appearance and hurried away. "Whatever you want, whatever you want!"

As long as your child was not born in the toilets of Nuoding Academy.

"Hmph—" Tang San snorted coldly, then took Xiao Wu's hand and led her into Seven Dormitory to meditate and rest.

My love for Xiao Wu is witnessed by heaven and earth. It transcends blood pacts; even the laws of the universe cannot restrain it!

Even if we died one after the other in our previous lives, we could still be reincarnated and meet again at a milk tea shop on a street corner!

But whenever Tang San thought of the opportunities related to himself, he could not help feeling troubled.

About three days later, Shi Yueyi and Radiant Feather Douluo arrived in Nuoding City.

"This is for you." Shi Yueyi handed the Soul Tool she had crafted to Radiant Feather Douluo.

"What does this do?" Radiant Feather Douluo asked curiously as he accepted it.

"This Soul Tool is called an earpiece. It can transmit voices, much like how high-level soul masters can condense their voices into a line to communicate," Shi Yueyi explained.

Radiant Feather Douluo's eyes lit up. "It's that impressive? Where did you learn this kind of technology?"

"It's been passed down through my family," Shi Yueyi said casually. "As you know, Soul Guidance Technology is not particularly valued these days, but it actually holds endless mysteries."

Radiant Feather Douluo put on the earpiece. "With this thing, wouldn't information travel faster during a war?"

Shi Yueyi clipped her own onto her ear, then adjusted her hair to conceal it.

"You don't mean to have this old man hide for now while you act alone, do you?" Radiant Feather Douluo asked.

"That's right." Shi Yueyi blinked.

"Hm, that works too." After giving it some thought, Radiant Feather Douluo agreed.

"I'll be careful." From the window of the inn where they were staying, Shi Yueyi looked out and spotted Nuoding Academy in the distance, the place mentioned in the records.

The true framework of Douluo's later generations was established in Douluo II. Tang San had never experienced it himself; merely seeing it and personally living through it were different things. For instance, there was no need to even think about Soul Spirits. That was not technology from the Douluo Plane. Someone who was still using the Mysterious Heaven Skill even in Douluo V could not go from zero to one.

One could not expect a God King who would kill himself without a word and reincarnate just to find Xiao Wu to have many innovative ideas.

Other than being truly skilled at scheming against the Douluo Plane, all his thoughts had been spent on that.

So, judging from his experiences in Douluo V and the fact that he had succeeded once before, he would still live off his old methods.

At most, he would make a few minor patches to the quality of some Soul Rings.
