Ning Fengzhi's Surprise

After testing his soul skill, Yuan Luo dragged the two-meter-tall tiger back home.

After absorbing the soul ring, he could tell that he was roughly level fourteen. He was only a little short of breaking through to level fifteen.

His strength was now several times what it had been before. He could probably kill this tiger with a single punch.

That did not stop him from killing a wild boar and several rabbits along the way.

After all, if he sold tiger meat, he would definitely have to charge more for it. Some people without much money probably could not afford it, so he needed to prepare some cheaper pork and rabbit meat at the very least.

"Xiao Luo, you actually killed a tiger? How are you so strong?"

When he returned to the village, some neighbors working in the fields stared so wide-eyed that they could probably fit a goose egg in their mouths.

"Uncle Zhou, my martial soul is strength-type. I gained a lot of strength after awakening it. I found this tiger—it looked like it was crushed to death by rocks on the mountain. Once I've dealt with it, I'll bring you some meat."

"Good, good! Then I'll head back early today and see what tiger meat tastes like."

Uncle Zhou did not refuse. Over the past few years, he had become used to it. Sometimes Yuan Luo would catch some game so the neighbors could satisfy their cravings.

Dragging a tiger and a wild boar through the village was bound to draw one hundred percent of the attention.

As he passed Tang San's house, he heard a steady knocking from inside. Tang San was probably forging again.

However, Yuan Luo did not notice a pair of dim eyes watching him through a small window.

The person was Tang Hao.

"That little Luo has a Hundred-Year Soul Beast Saber-Toothed Golden Tiger in his hands. How did he hunt it? Hm? He's already become a Soul Master? Interesting."

Other than Tang Hao, no one else noticed this scene.

After spending the entire afternoon on it, he finally finished cleaning the tiger and delivered some meat to the neighbors. Yuan Luo's house was now piled full of meat. Fortunately, he had salted it, or the tiger meat would spoil quickly.

"Xiao Luo, why are you back so early? And why is there so much meat?"

While he was busy, Old Jack returned. The usually unsteady old man seemed to have become younger somehow. He had even combed his hair and dressed neatly.

Something was off!

"Grandpa, where did you go?"

"Ah! Grandpa went to check on the neighbors."

"Oh~ No wonder Widow Wang wasn't home. Grandpa, you're acting so improperly for your age. Aren't you ashamed?"

Sure enough, Old Jack could not resist now that he had money, lingering around Widow Wang's skirts.

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and hand over the money you made today. I'll save it for you."

Old Jack smacked Yuan Luo and held out a hand.

"Nope. Things went wrong today, so I didn't sell anything."

Yuan Luo rolled his eyes. This shameless old man still wanted money?

"Oh, why is my life so bitter? Six years ago, I saved a baby. Then I became his father, his mother, and his grandfather, painstakingly raising him. I couldn't eat well or sleep well, terrified that the child might get hurt. And what happened? Now that this child has money, he won't even acknowledge his grandpa anymore. My life..."

"Grandpa, Grandpa, I was wrong. I'll give it to you, all right?"

With a wronged look on his face, Yuan Luo took out all the Soul Coins in his pocket—gold, silver, and copper, too many to count.

Of course, he had hidden eight Gold Soul Coins on the bicycle.

The next day, Yuan Luo arrived at the same place on time.

He had originally considered hiring some Soul Masters, but now that he had strength of his own, there was no need.

What high-level Soul Masters could there be in this shabby little city? Besides, if he could not beat someone, could he not just run?

"Big Brother, I'm here."

Yu Yue seemed to be in a much better mood. She was probably happy because she now had money to treat her mother's illness.

"Xiao Yue, try this tiger meat."

He casually handed her a skewer of grilled tiger meat. Yu Yue ate it while repeatedly saying it was delicious.

Today, there were only three kinds of skewers listed on the small sign.

Hundred-Year Soul Beast tiger meat skewers: two Silver Soul Coins each.

Ordinary rabbit meat: two Copper Soul Coins.

Ordinary wild boar meat: five Copper Soul Coins.

Before long, the stall was crowded with people. Most wealthy customers wanted to try Soul Beast meat.

After quite a bit of grilled meat had been sold, Ning Rongrong skipped over to the stall, followed by Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

"Little Brother, you have something new today?"

"Yes, but it's a little expensive."

"Hehe! My family doesn't lack money. We'll take everything that's left. I want my other grandpa to try this delicious food too."

"Sure!"

Ning Fengzhi examined the tiger meat. With his Soul Saint cultivation, he could recognize what kind of meat it was at a glance.

"Sword Uncle! The aura on this meat seems to belong to a seven-hundred-year Soul Beast."

Chen Xin glanced at Yuan Luo and said, "Mm. This boy's Soul Power was not this strong yesterday. He broke through to become a Soul Master in a single day?"

"What? He's already a Soul Master at such a young age? Could his Innate Soul Power be the same as Rongrong's? Or perhaps... Innate Full Soul Power?"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed. This child was clearly only six years old. Could he truly be a genius?

If so, he had to recruit him into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Little friend, did you kill this Soul Beast?"

Ning Fengzhi stepped forward with an elegant bearing and asked.

Yuan Luo looked up at him and secretly thought, Good grief, going straight for the throat, huh?

"Uncle, I found it on the mountain behind my home. It seemed to have been crushed to death by falling rocks."

Ning Fengzhi smiled strangely. That excuse might fool ordinary people, but how could a Soul Beast be crushed to death by falling rocks? It might be possible for an ordinary wild animal, but a Soul Beast's reflexes made it absolutely impossible.

Ning Fengzhi's stare made Yuan Luo's scalp tingle. He could not help wondering why Ning Fengzhi was asking so many questions. Wasn't it enough that the meat tasted good?

"Little friend, are you a Soul Master?"

Ning Fengzhi continued asking, his voice gentle and impossible to refuse.

"Yes, Uncle. I only became a Soul Master recently."

In front of a Titled Douluo, he could not hide anything at all unless the system gave him something to conceal his Soul Power. It would already be good enough if this Lazy System could bring him back; expecting it to give him items was probably just wishful thinking.

"Oh? Little fellow, you look to be only six years old."

"Yes, Uncle. My Innate Soul Power is level nine. My uncle happens to be a Soul Grandmaster, and he helped me obtain my first soul ring. Do you have any other questions, Uncle?"

Yuan Luo widened his eyes, seeming to show off. After all, any child who became a Soul Master so early would certainly be proud.

"Wow! Little Brother, you're the same as me! My Innate Soul Power is level nine too, and I only got my soul ring yesterday."

Hearing Yuan Luo's words, Ning Rongrong said happily.

"Congratulations!"

"Hehe!"

Half an hour later, all the grilled meat was finished. Ning Fengzhi put an entire large basin of grilled meat into his Storage Bracelet.

Yuan Luo was not surprised in the least. After all, they had money, and he had grilled meat. It was just a transaction. Why should he care whether anyone else got to buy some?

Seeing Ning Fengzhi buy so much, some people had originally wanted to cause trouble for them.

However, the three of them were dressed extravagantly and clearly belonged to a great clan. On top of that, the young man even possessed a Soul Tool, so no one dared to make a move.

It was fortunate that they did not, or they would have been separated from their heads long ago.

"Little friend, we belong to a major sect in the Heaven Dou Empire. Would you like to join my sect? You could sell grilled meat there as well. Such delicious food would surely be loved by many people."

Just as they were about to leave, Yuan Luo was surprised to find that Ning Fengzhi was actually trying to recruit him.

"I can also find someone to guide your cultivation and provide you with abundant resources. Besides, my daughter likes your barbecue so much, and you're close in age. You can play together!"

Yuan Luo froze. To outsiders, it looked as though he were considering the offer.

That old fox had even brought out his daughter. Such a cute little loli, so lovable—if it were anyone else, they might really have gone along with him.

Unfortunately, the person standing before him was Yuan Luo, someone from Blue Star who remembered the plot of Douluo Continent well.

If he joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he would lose his freedom. Yuan Luo would never agree to such a losing deal.
