Yu Xiaogang Put on Display

Tang San left the dormitory, feeling as if three consecutive level-ups were already within reach. He immediately used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and ran toward Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.

Relying on his superb footwork, Tang San finally reached Yu Xiaogang's dormitory door without incident.

"Adoptive Mother, it's up to you now. You have to help me get it!"

"Of course. You're my son. If I don't help you, who will?"

Tang San watched as the ring on his hand turned into a wisp of green smoke and drifted into the lock.

Click!

"It's open! Adoptive Mother, how did you do that?"

"It's not that I won't teach you. This is a spell only spirit bodies can cultivate, unless you lose your physical body like I did."

Tang San said no more. He carefully opened the door and immediately spotted Yu Xiaogang sleeping soundly on the single bed.

He crept over and lifted the thin blanket covering Yu Xiaogang. Around his bare waist was a beautiful belt.

"Adoptive Mother, this must be the treasure you mentioned, right? Even when Adoptive Father sleeps, he keeps it around him."

"That's right, Xiao San. Do you have any sleeping medicine that can knock someone out for a while? It would be troublesome if Yu Xiaogang suddenly woke up."

Tang San took out a small bamboo tube from the inner pocket of his clothes and blew a few puffs into Yu Xiaogang's mouth. Yu Xiaogang's snores immediately grew louder.

"Adoptive Mother, this comes from the herbal knowledge I learned in my previous life. It's called One Drop Hundred Pigs Down."

"We used it when slaughtering pigs in our time to stop them from running around. Just a tiny bit can let a pig die without pain. Isn't that humane?"

Li Chen was startled. Tang San actually had something like this. The original story had never mentioned such a formidable item. Luckily, he had the foresight to place a spy beside him.

With the sleeping medicine's support, Tang San directly tore the belt off Yu Xiaogang with a bit of force.

Remembering Yu Xiaogang's body from earlier, Tang San felt a wave of nausea rise in his throat.

He rushed out the door and ran toward the small grove deep in the training grounds. He could not wait—not even one night. He had to get Adoptive Mother to refine pills for him immediately.

Tang San felt as if he had forgotten something, but the joy of obtaining the treasure quickly washed away that worry.

The old woman's phantom appeared, casting a faint glow over the surroundings.

Tang San examined the belt in his hand. It was entirely black, patterned with faint dark stripes. Twenty-four milky-white pieces of jade were evenly set along its length, each no larger than an adult's fingernail.

But Tang San was certain that every one of them was exquisite jade rarely seen in a hundred years!

"Adoptive Mother, help me refine the pills. Once I become powerful, I'll definitely help you rebuild your body!"

At that moment, a cluster of green flames appeared in the old woman's hand, bathing both of them in green light. Tang San was incomparably excited. He was about to gain tremendous strength.

Heaven knew, whenever he saw Li Chen and Xiao Wu being affectionate together, his heart hurt terribly, as if he had lost something that should have belonged to him.

Was it Xiao Wu?

Or was it Li Chen?

Tang San felt it should be Xiao Wu. Before he could think further, the old woman spoke rapidly.

"Xiao San, refining pills still requires a little gold. Quickly take out your Gold Soul Coins. I never expected Yu Xiaogang's thing to be so useless. Without gold to balance it out, I can at most refine pills that raise you two levels!"

The moment Tang San heard that, he knew two levels would not do. With his talent, he naturally had to rise three levels at once!

So Tang San hurriedly took out two Gold Soul Coins and tossed them into the flames.

In the dormitory, Li Chen saw the balance of 3.4 Gold Soul Coins in the system and smiled with satisfaction.

"As long as Tang San works hard, I'll soon become rich and live comfortably. Tang San earns money far too slowly. Looks like I still have to make money myself!"

Li Chen had long wanted to use the system's convenience to sell some little trinkets that did not exist on Douluo Continent, but he was simply too lazy~~

Every day, he attended classes, ate his fill, and played Fight the Landlord in the dormitory!

And messed around with Xiao Wu!

Such a wonderful life of lying flat was truly intoxicating.

As Tang San waited anxiously, he suddenly heard a furious shout!

"Pills, unite!"

A pitch-black pill glowing green appeared before Tang San.

Just judging by its appearance, Tang San was a little afraid to put it in his mouth.

"Adoptive Mother, can I really eat this? Why does it look so terrifying?"

"Of course you can. Haven't you heard the rule that the more powerful a pill is, the more disgusting it looks?"

"That's true. You aren't from our world, so it's normal that you don't know. Once you become a God in this world, Mother will take you back to our world to inherit the throne and a harem of three thousand beauties."

"Fine, I'll eat it!"

Tang San swallowed it in one bite, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began refining the pill.

Yet Tang San found it strange. Why did this pill seem to have no medicinal power at all?

He did not seem to feel anything.

Li Chen naturally knew why Tang San felt nothing, because he had not distributed the reward yet~~

Suddenly, Tang San felt a warm current rise from his lower abdomen, followed by a burst of intense pain.

"Adoptive Mother, why does it hurt so much this time?"

"Child, this is a process that must be endured when refining pills. Only by enduring the bitterest hardship can one rise above others!"

In truth, this was not a real pill at all. It was merely a ball made from moss mixed with rotten mud. Poor Tang San still had no idea what he had eaten.

A moment later, Tang San burst into laughter.

"Adoptive Mother, it worked! I'm level ten! I can obtain a Soul Ring now, right?"

"Of course. Tomorrow, you can ask Yu Xiaogang to help you. As for why you leveled up so quickly, just say it's the wonder of Twin Martial Souls. In any case, a level-twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster like him won't understand."

The rising sun shone brightly.

Tang San woke up a little later than usual today because he had been too exhausted last night.

As soon as he got up and ate breakfast, he ran toward Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.

Li Chen followed behind Tang San with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks and asked in confusion, "Li Chen, we don't have class today. Weren't we going to play chess in bed? Why are we following Tang San?"

"I heard from Wang Sheng that there's a good show here. Didn't Tang San take that Yu Xiaogang as his master?"

Xiao Wu tugged at Li Chen's clothes, swaying them back and forth. "Okay!"

The two soon arrived at the building containing Yu Xiaogang's dormitory and found people constantly coming and going. It was incredibly lively!

Xiao Wu casually stopped a student and asked, "Hello, do you know what happened here?"

That little boy had never seen such a soft, adorable girl as Xiao Wu before, and he answered with a stutter.

"You still don't know? Master Yu Xiaogang is sleeping naked with his door open!"

"Is this a distortion of human nature, or a loss of morality?"
