Pay back the money? Paying it back was impossible! Sister Xiao Wu borrowed it fair and square, so why should she repay it?!
Tang Hao took a swig of wine at the sight.
"Fate really is a wonderful thing..."
After Tang San obtained his Soul Ring, under Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's guidance,
he also registered as a Spirit Master at Spirit Hall and could receive one Gold Soul Coin there every month. He had enough money to buy a blanket.
After absorbing the ten-year Lone Bamboo Soul Ring, he had broken through to level 11.
Without learning the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, he did not go to the Blacksmith Shop to forge iron for extra money. The crafting of Hidden Weapons was therefore postponed indefinitely.
Without those things holding him back, he instead had more time to cultivate his Soul Power!
After three months of cultivation, he was now close to breaking through level 11.
My Soul Saint Father
My Soul Saint Father
No matter how long a vacation lasted during one's school years, the day school began always came eventually. Even in a fantasy world, it was the same.
Nuoding Academy began classes today. At the welcome ceremony, the principal did not even bring a speech draft.
Yet he spoke for a full two hours!
He started out speaking quite properly, but later on, it turned into a recounting of his own past loves and grudges.
"We came to Douluo Continent and still have to go to school. Sigh."
Zhong Li sat on a little stool, staring blankly at the exceedingly clever principal. Even the light had vanished from his eyes.
Once the principal finished speaking, the man beside him holding a speech draft over a meter long would probably take over.
"Next, let us welcome Nuoding Academy's youngest and most promising genius Spirit Master in a hundred years!"
"Before he even came to the academy, he was already level 14 at the age of six! Moreover, he is the first support-type Spirit Master with Innate Full Soul Power in ten thousand years on Douluo Continent!"
"Let us welcome him with a round of applause! Student Zhong Li, come up and say a few words! Share your cultivation experience with everyone!"
The brilliant middle-aged man—the principal—spoke passionately about just how talented Zhong Li was. He practically wanted to praise Zhong Li as someone who belonged only in the heavens, a sight rarely seen in the mortal world...
Why did the principal know Zhong Li possessed Innate Full Soul Power?
Zhong Tian had come to find him with proof of Zhong Li's Martial Soul Awakening. Even without that "friendly" exchange,
this academy would have accepted the student no matter what! Let alone seeing one, he had never even heard of a support-type Spirit Master with Innate Full Soul Power on Douluo Continent!
After learning that Zhong Li had arrived at the academy, he invited the Soul King whom the gatekeeper had offended to serve as vice principal.
Then, without stopping for a moment, he rushed to Zhong Li's dormitory.
The child of a Soul Saint powerhouse, and one with Innate Full Soul Power at that.
After awakening his Martial Soul, he must have gone to obtain a Soul Ring, right?
With his Soul Power above level 40, he discovered that Zhong Li had actually reached level 14!
He did not know that what he saw was merely what Zhong Li wanted him to see.
Back to the matter at hand.
When Zhong Li heard the principal call for him, the corner of his mouth twitched. What was he supposed to say up there?
Tell them my father is a Soul Saint powerhouse?
Share cultivation experience? Other than his own efforts, did his current cultivation not rely entirely on the system's gifts?
The principal's words drew over the teachers and students who were currently in class.
Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu, and even Tang Hao lurking in the shadows were all impressed despite not fully understanding why!
Tang Hao could sense that Zhong Li's Soul Power fluctuations were a little above level 14.
But he had not known Zhong Li was only six years old! And that he was a support-type Spirit Master with Innate Full Soul Power!
As the former young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, he too had never heard of a support-type Spirit Master with Innate Full Soul Power.
If he knew Zhong Li had already broken through to level 34, he would probably say:
This child is terrifying. If he cannot be used by me...
Zhong Li was not timid and walked toward the stage.
Xiao Wu: Him? He was only six? Was he trying to fool a rabbit?!
After reaching the stage, "Hehehe... Morax, it is time to settle all our old wishes..." suddenly rang through his mind.
Zhong Li immediately sensed that something was wrong!
Sure enough! The Ruotuo Dragon King had seized control of him once again!
"Hello, everyone. My name is Zhong Li!"
Ruo Tuo began her performance!
"The reason I have achieved what I have today! Other than my relentless efforts!"
Second Granduncle: What effort, my ass... I have never seen you cultivate.
"I must also thank my parents for giving birth to such a perfect me."
Here it came! He was at it again!
Tang San and his teacher, Xiao Wu, and the others had experienced this once before.
"I have Innate Full Soul Power, but that does not stop me from working hard. After obtaining my first 400-year Soul Ring, my Soul Power broke through to the peak of level 13."
The actual little children below the stage listened with great interest.
The older ones, however, felt increasingly that something was off. After saying so much, where was the hard work?
"But I did not become arrogant or complacent. My Soul Saint father taught me from childhood that one must keep a low profile in both conduct and action, and must not be overly proud."
Soul? Soul Saint??? Holy shit...
Tang San: Holy Spirit Village had only produced a Soul Saint a hundred years ago, yet the legends remain to this day. This person was not simple...
Xiao Wu: A Soul Saint? That was fine, that was fine...
Tang Hao: ...
Yu Xiaogang stood in the distance at this moment, and he finally recognized Zhong Li.
Was this not the child they had encountered outside the Soul Hunting Forest that day? He had grown taller, but his face had not changed much.
Holy shit, could the aftermath of that battle Tang San and he encountered that day have been left behind after this child's father killed a soul beast?
Yu Xiaogang desperately wanted to curse a few times, but what was the use?
They had not targeted Tang San or him. On the contrary, when they first met, because both sides were teaching children, they had even nodded at each other sympathetically! It had been his own misjudgment!
Tang San absolutely could not learn about this. He had discovered nothing! Because of his teacher's misjudgment, he absorbed a ten-year...
"After obtaining the Soul Ring, I had not even had time to experience the powerful strength brought by level 13 Soul Power. After cultivating for an entire night, I somehow reached level 14!"
Ruo Tuo continued showing off, carrying the humblebragging to the very end.
"..."
"..."
Damn, was that even human speech?!
Even Xiao Chenyu, still the local boss at this point, was practically on his knees...
"My Soul Saint father told me that Spirit Masters cannot be hasty in cultivation. They must advance steadily and solidly to attain greater achievements."
Everyone nodded. Those words were correct! Nothing wrong with them. But then...
"But as a genius unseen in ten thousand years on Douluo Continent, would I become proud? Would I become complacent? I did not even want to cultivate. My happiest days were when my Martial Soul had yet to awaken."
Chang Wei, and you still say you do not know martial arts!
"Back then, I listened to my Soul Saint father tell stories of his childhood."
Zhong Li's Second Granduncle nearly burst out laughing. This brat could spin lies the instant he opened his mouth!
If he met me later, would he go around telling everyone: My Title Douluo Second Granduncle!
Still, it was fortunate that while he lied easily, he knew his limits. If he suddenly added something about me and my Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone...
"My father said that he possessed innate level 9 Soul Power. That same year, after obtaining his Soul Ring, he became a Spirit Master. At eight, he broke through to level 20 and became a Soul Grandmaster. At eleven, he broke through to level 30 and became a Soul Elder. He was undefeated among those of his age."
Damn! This father and son were both so...
Xiao Chenyu: If I have committed a crime, please let the law punish me...
He was eleven this year! Level 11, a one-ring Battle Soul Master. That guy had already been a Soul Elder at eleven!
Tang Hao: Hmm, barring any surprises, this man has the potential to become a Super Douluo.
But why had he never heard his father's name before?
Level 30 at eleven. In the past hundred years, aside from his grandfather Tang Chen and that person from Spirit Hall,
he had never heard of such a genius. He himself had possessed innate level 9 Soul Power, yet at eleven, he had only been level 27.
"However, my Soul Saint father was not happy. Among those his age, no one could withstand even a single exchange..."
Six Years Later
Six Years Later
Six years had quietly passed since Zhong Li's speech, "My Soul Saint Father."
No one knew who it was!
But someone had turned Zhong Li's words from back then into a biographical novel and even published it!
It was called "My Soul Saint Father." The moment it was released, it swept across the entire continent!
It was his meddlesome Second Granduncle who had done it...
He had always wanted to find an opportunity, an opportunity for the Zhong Family to reenter the world!
The Chosen One had already appeared, so should they continue living in seclusion? They had not had a choice before, but things were different now.
The Zhong Family therefore held a meeting...
It was worth mentioning that everyone at the meeting wore the "Divine Armor" Zhong Li had "designed."
It was handsome, but matching outfits were not scary. Whoever looked uglier was the embarrassed one.
Although Zhong Li had not inherited the Dragon Gallbladder Spear, he was the biological grandson of the current clan head!
Moreover, he was a support-type Spirit Master with Innate Full Soul Power. They could not help but pay attention to him!
At the meeting, Zhong Li's Second Granduncle revealed that Zhong Li had Twin Martial Souls, innate level 20 Soul Power, and was a "Chosen One."
He only said so after discussing it with Zhong Tian. Zhong Li's situation could not be concealed, at least not from the family.
In the future, obtaining high-level Soul Rings and Soul Bones would require the family's support. How could it possibly remain hidden?
However, they concealed the fact that Zhong Li could sense Soul Bones.
An elderly old man was so excited that he nearly went to meet the ancestors on the spot!
Another middle-aged man was the son of an Elder. He belonged to the same generation as Zhong Tian, though he was over ten years older and thus counted as Zhong Tian's cousin.
He was a high-level Soul Fighting Douluo powerhouse. He had contributed greatly to the family and possessed the potential to become a Super Douluo.
He had just received a Family Inherited Soul Bone and had not yet had time to fuse with it...
Without a word of complaint, he took out the Soul Bone at the meeting and said, "My nephew has the bearing of a god! I am unworthy of this Soul Bone!"
The Zhong Family ultimately decided to gradually reenter the world!
Although the Zhong Family lived in seclusion, they still possessed businesses and the like across Douluo Continent.
They had been established by family members who had not inherited the Dragon Gallbladder Spear Martial Soul but possessed decent talent.
The Soul Fighting Arena! It was jointly established by the Eight Great Families, eight Spirit Master factions that possessed Soul Fighting Douluo-level powerhouses or above.
