Ah Yin Chose to Run Away

"Dad, I understand," Yu Xiaogang said weakly.

After seeing Yu Yuanzhen get angry, Yu Xiaogang wisely stopped messing around and became as obedient and well-behaved as a baby.

Yu Yuanzhen nodded in satisfaction, then began considering Yu Xiaogang's future development path.

How should he arrange his spirit rings so that he would not end up with a spirit ability that used farting as an attack method?

After thinking it over and over.

Yu Yuanzhen never imagined that it was precisely his arrangements that would lead to Yu Xiaogang's spirit ability being farting...

But if he did not arrange things, and it still ended up being farting... that was not what he wanted either.

Yu Yuanzhen finally understood what it meant to be caught between a rock and a hard place.

Three-Eyed Demon Fox displayed its might, not only driving away more than ten wolves, but also leaving behind the lead wolf that had attacked them.

It was merely a ten-year spirit beast. Faced with Three-Eyed Demon Fox, which refused to play by the rules, it ultimately met its end beneath Three-Eyed Demon Fox's wide-area attack.

The ten-year spirit beast wolf fainted.

Grandmaster let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly took a dagger from his storage tool before walking over to the unconscious ten-year spirit beast wolf.

Tang San followed behind Grandmaster and watched as Grandmaster stabbed the ten-year spirit beast wolf with his dagger.

The ten-year spirit beast wolf died just like that, and a white spirit ring floated out of its body.

Grandmaster introduced spirit rings to Tang San and personally demonstrated the method of absorbing one.

Tang San studied very seriously.

Grandmaster was only level 29 now. He had not reached level 30 and could not absorb a spirit ring.

And not just anyone could absorb a spirit ring.

Everyone could only absorb the spirit ring dropped by a spirit beast they had personally killed.

After explaining all this to Tang San, Grandmaster first took out a carrot and fed it to Three-Eyed Demon Fox.

Over the years, Grandmaster had also developed a way to use Three-Eyed Demon Fox. Every attack consumed his Soul Power, but it could also be replenished through eating.

The best way to replenish it was by eating carrots.

Three-Eyed Demon Fox ate two carrots and immediately shook off its listless state, staring warily toward the depths of the distant forest.

Grandmaster noticed Three-Eyed Demon Fox's strange behavior and grew tense as well.

After being together for so many years, Grandmaster knew Three-Eyed Demon Fox well. A state like this meant danger was definitely approaching!

Before Grandmaster could warn Tang San, a Mandala Snake lunged at them, targeting Grandmaster.

Three-Eyed Demon Fox bravely charged forward.

The Mandala Snake bit Three-Eyed Demon Fox.

Three-Eyed Demon Fox vanished and returned to Grandmaster's body.

Three-Eyed Demon Fox had enraged the Mandala Snake.

Three-Eyed Demon Fox had run away, but Grandmaster and Tang San were still there.

The Mandala Snake locked onto the two of them and began hunting them down.

Grandmaster grabbed Tang San's little hand and began fleeing for their lives.

But the Mandala Snake was right on their heels, and the two of them could not escape.

Grandmaster told Tang San to run first while he stayed behind to hold it off.

Tang San truly could not stand by and watch any longer. While the Mandala Snake was entangled with Grandmaster, he used the Sleeve Arrow he had forged earlier and brought down the Mandala Snake.

Grandmaster thought he had dealt with the Mandala Snake himself.

Just as he was about to say something to Tang San, he suddenly collapsed.

Tang San was utterly bewildered and hurried over.

He saw the Mandala Snake's bite mark on Grandmaster's body.

He clearly remembered that Grandmaster had not been bitten by the Mandala Snake, yet there was now a bite mark...

Oh, right. Three-Eyed Demon Fox had been bitten by the Mandala Snake.

Could it be that when Three-Eyed Demon Fox returned to Grandmaster's body, it transferred the wound from the Mandala Snake bite to Grandmaster as well?

Tang San's imagination ran wild.

Seeing the unconscious Grandmaster, the respectful Tang San began treating him.

At that moment, the Sky Screen suddenly went dark.

A Prize Quiz appeared on the darkened Sky Screen.

Question—Could Tang San save Grandmaster?

One: Yes. Two: No.

One person would be randomly selected to answer.

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong shouted excitedly, "Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! I'll definitely get it right this time!"

The first Prize Quiz had randomly selected one person to answer.

Bibi Dong had been incredibly lucky to be chosen.

Yet she had answered incorrectly.

This infuriated her. She had wanted to redeem herself, but the Prize Quizzes that appeared afterward were all public quizzes that everyone could answer.

They were no longer like the first one, where a single person was randomly selected to answer.

Her luck was quite good.

Unfortunately, she had not managed to answer any questions correctly.

If she had answered correctly, she surely would have received benefits from the Sky Screen, just like the reward received by the first person to clear the first stage of the Arena that had appeared later.

Bibi Dong was deeply envious.

Now there was another quiz that randomly selected one person to answer.

Bibi Dong felt that her chances of being selected were higher.

After all, she had been chosen before.

Clear Sky Sect.

The brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao remained calm.

They did not think they would be lucky enough to be selected by the Sky Screen to answer a question.

They just needed to watch the show.

However, both of them believed that Tang San could save Grandmaster.

After all, he had been reincarnated with memories of his past life. It would be strange if he could not save Grandmaster.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Pick me! Pick me! You have to pick me!" Madam Ning gazed devoutly at the Sky Screen. She wanted to answer the question too.

Once she appeared on the Sky Screen, everyone across the Douluo Continent would be able to see her.

Madam Ning wanted everyone on the Douluo Continent to know her, preferably also knowing that she was the future sect master's wife of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"You're celebrating too soon. Don't cry if you aren't selected," Ning Fengzhi comforted her helplessly.

He did not want the woman he loved to cry.

After all, there were so many people on the Douluo Continent. The odds of randomly selecting one person and picking her were one in countless billions, terrifyingly low.

Ning Fengzhi did not think he would be selected, much less the woman he currently liked.

Holy Spirit Village.

Villager A: "Hey, today's Prize Quiz has changed. It's not public mode—it's switched back to single-person mode!"

Villager B: "Looks like we won't be getting the reward of one Gold Soul Coin."

Villager C: "Forget about Gold Soul Coins. Gold Soul Coins aren't worth much anymore..."

The villagers began discussing what kind of person would be randomly selected to answer this time.

In any case, they did not think they would be selected.

Everyone knew the answer to this question. It had to be option one—he would survive.

As long as someone was not an idiot, they would know how to answer.

Being selected by the Sky Screen to answer this question would be like picking up an enormous bargain for free!

Unlike the villagers, Lin Xianyu was not looking forward to being selected.

She needed to keep a low profile now.

If she were selected and appeared on the Sky Screen, then answered correctly, no matter what reward she received, people would covet it.

Unless she had someone backing her.

Lin Xianyu was not a member of any major power. She was merely an ordinary person with an ordinary cheat that did not entirely belong to her.

Don't pick me! Don't pick me! Don't pick me...

Lin Xianyu silently prayed in her heart.

Perhaps her prayers really worked. The person selected to answer was not her, but...

A little girl who looked strangely familiar.

It was not just Lin Xianyu who found her familiar. Everyone on the Douluo Continent who was watching the Sky Screen thought the little girl looked somewhat familiar.

The little girl selected to answer was also completely bewildered.

Why had she been selected?

Was her luck exceptionally good, or exceptionally bad?

"This time, the randomly selected respondent is another little girl!"

"She looks kind of familiar. Have I seen her somewhere before?"

"I think she looks familiar too."

"Could she be someone whose parents we know?"

"It would be one thing if I knew her, but you all... know her too?"

"Right, I remember now. She appeared on the Sky Screen before. She looks ninety percent similar to Tang Hao's wife, that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation!"

"She's the juvenile form of that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation!"

"Wonderful, so she's here too. I really want to find her and invite her to my home as a guest."

"When you need a spirit ring, just stab her with a dagger. Her spirit ring will naturally be yours, along with her spirit bone. A spirit bone dropped by a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, tsk tsk..."

At that moment, every Soul Master who recognized Ah Yin as Tang Hao's lover from the Sky Screen became excited.

Because Ah Yin was far too weak right now. She was not yet the powerful figure who could contend against the elders of Spirit Hall.

Ah Yin had only just left the Blue Silver Forest and was still becoming familiar with her surroundings in a small village. As for increasing her strength?

She had not taken it seriously.

She had originally planned to live in the village for four or five years before going out to travel, preferably cultivating until she became a Soul Saint...

But now, while she was still only a Soul Grandmaster, the Sky Screen had exposed her.

There was no need to stay another four or five years. She needed to run away now.

In any case, she could no longer remain in Blue Silver Village.

Ah Yin was depressed to death, but since she had appeared on the Sky Screen, she naturally would not give up the guaranteed reward she could obtain by answering correctly.

She quickly gave the answer: "Option one."

The Sky Screen swiftly announced the reward.

Question—Could Tang San save Grandmaster?

The correct answer was one: yes.

Congratulations to this lucky contestant randomly selected to answer. You answered correctly and will receive a reward of 20 levels of Soul Power.

Spirit City.

Worship Hall.

"Twenty levels of Soul Power?" Qian Daoliu could not remain seated after seeing the reward given by the Sky Screen for answering correctly.

As long as one of his descendants had innate level 20 Soul Power, they would undoubtedly be a candidate for the Angel God.

Unfortunately, none of his descendants amounted to much. There was only Qian Xunji now, and he did not even have a grandson or granddaughter.

Yet simply by answering one of the Sky Screen's questions correctly, she had received a reward of 20 levels of Soul Power.

This... this was far too outrageous!

Pope's Palace.

"Ahhh—The reward for answering correctly is actually twenty levels of Soul Power?"

Bibi Dong wore a crazed expression as she muttered regretfully, "I'm awful! I'm truly awful! If I had answered correctly back then, I could be a level 30 Soul Ancestor now! What a wonderful opportunity, and I actually missed it, boohoohoo~~~"

The aggrieved Bibi Dong burst into tears.

Holy Spirit Village.

Lin Xianyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the person answering the question on the Sky Screen was not her.

She did not care who answered the question, as long as it was not her.

But the one chosen by the Sky Screen to answer was actually Ah Yin!

Ah Yin in her little-girl form looked rather cute.

But now that she had been exposed, she would probably have to run away.

She could not remain in human society anyway. Otherwise, if she encountered a Soul Master stronger than herself, she would be turned into loot.

Whether it was her spirit ring or her spirit bone, Soul Masters would want them all.

After all, the current Soul Masters were normal. Even if they encountered a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation, they would not treat it as a human—they would only think about claiming its loot.

Blue Silver Village.

Ah Yin had been selected by the Sky Screen and appeared on it to answer the question.

The moment it happened, she knew she could no longer hide.

That damned Sky Screen had exposed her long ago.

She had no idea how stupid her future self had been to actually fall in love with a human and even have a child...

This was absolutely unbelievable!

The current Ah Yin could not possibly understand what her future self had been thinking.

The moment she learned that she had been exposed, her first reaction was to run.

Just because Blue Silver Village had no soul masters did not mean it never would.

When it was time to run, she had to run.

"My Soul Power has risen by twenty levels at once. I'm now a Soul Ancestor above level forty!"

Ah Yin was quite satisfied with her soaring strength.

With pursuit awaiting her, she needed to increase her strength as much as possible.

Before a Spirit Douluo or even a Title Douluo came after her, she had to escape to the Blue Silver Forest—her homeland.

As long as she stayed in the Blue Silver Forest, she would not fear Spirit Douluo, or even Title Douluo.

The Blue Silver Forest, as its name suggested, was a forest formed entirely of Blue Silver Grass.

Within the Blue Silver Forest, aside from her, the former Blue Silver Emperor, there was also the Blue Silver King.

A powerful Blue Silver King was an existence comparable to a Title Douluo.

In the Blue Silver Forest, where Blue Silver Grass covered the ground everywhere, even if a Title Douluo entered, they could forget about ever leaving in this lifetime.

Ah Yin had accepted reality. Especially after discovering that the Sky Screen's rewards were real, she no longer planned to remain in Blue Silver Village and instead intended to return home.

As long as the Sky Screen existed and occasionally held a few Prize Quizzes, if she was lucky enough to answer correctly, she could increase her Soul Power.

For Ah Yin, that was simply wonderful!

Just as Ah Yin set off on the road back home, the Sky Screen resumed its normal broadcast.

Under Tang San's treatment, Grandmaster had narrowly survived.

Tang San found that Grandmaster's breathing had stabilized, so his life was not in danger for the moment.

He turned his attention to the Mandala Snake he had taken down with concealed weapons.

This Mandala Snake was remarkably tenacious. Even after Tang San had brought it down with concealed weapons, it still had not died and continued to glare viciously at them.

Tang San walked over and sent the Mandala Snake to its release with a single stab of his dagger.

A yellow spirit ring rose from the Mandala Snake's body.

At the sight of this yellow spirit ring, Tang San recalled the basic knowledge Grandmaster had taught him.

Ten Year Spirit Rings were white, hundred-year spirit rings were yellow, thousand-year spirit rings were purple, Ten Thousand Year Spirit Rings were black, and Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings were blood-red.

This yellow spirit ring was a hundred-year spirit ring.

Tang San was tempted. After struggling with it inwardly for quite some time, with no one to decide for him, he could only make up his own mind.

Before the yellow spirit ring disappeared, Tang San absorbed it first.

His luck was good. After absorbing the yellow spirit ring, he neither exploded nor became weakened. Instead, everything seemed quite normal.

And just like that, Tang San obtained his first spirit ring, one provided by the Mandala Snake.
